Rev. Patton, minister Of the First
Unitarian Society of Madison, is
the 36-year-old pastor who came
into the nation headlines recently
when in one of his regular Sunday
morning radio broadcasts over sta
ton WIBA in Madison, he said he
was "resigning" from the white
race to "jOin the human race"
Patton has for years fought in
tolerance. From early youth, he's
been a student of art, music, sculp-
ture, painting, speech and dra-
mates. Author of two books, "Hel-
10, Man." and Beyond Doubt" he's
also published one book of poetry,
Strange Seed" and is having
second published soon.
A respected member of the Uni
tartan clergy in spite of his youth,
Patton's deep-roOted convictions
against bigotry and his sincere i'm
patience with superior race" myths
have made him one of the most
challenging figures on the modern
scene. The topic for his local ap-
pearancs will be Zone Race, One
World"
Also appearing on the program
with Patton will be Flora B. CHS
holm Of New York City, executive
secretary Of the Alpha Kappa
Alpha national health program who
will be a guest of Eta chapter for
three days. Mrs. Chisholm will
present briefly the work of the
national sorority in the health field,
particularly in the state Of Missis-
sippi.
Mrs. W. Donald Brown will be
chairman Of the meeting. There
will be no charge for admission.
The meeting will be the first Of a
series Of public service affairs spon-
sored by Alpha Kappa Alpha So
rority.

Louis states that on several oc-
casions he refused to fight Army
exhibitions until segregated Negro
troops were permitted to view the
bouts from the same locations as
the white soldiers.
Also described is an incident in
a Georgia railroad station in which
Louis reveals that he was arrested
for using a telephone on the
White" side Of the station.
In spite Of these experiences,
Louis closes the article with the
statement, Prejudice is weakening.
The good people are softening it
up. So we can't stop punching now.
We just have to punch faster and

can make America a better place

COlOred Voters
Can Swing Close
EleCtiOn-White

II the 1913 Presidential election
proves to be reasonably close, the
party which wins the Negro vote
in the north and west will put its
candidate in the White House, Wal
ter White, neutrality-suspicious.
Negro leader. declares in a signed
article in issue Of Golfers.
Writing as the National Secre-
tary of the NAACP, White points
out that the Negroes now hold the
potential balance of power" in II
states Of the north and west and
that their greatest power, outside
the south, is in nine of the biggest
states.
These nine states have q total
electoral vote of 223, and the
party which carries them will put
Its candidate in the White House
in 1S4s," White says. only 266
votes are needed to elect a Presi-
dealt" The other eight states with
n substantial concentration Of
Negro voters, have an additional
~ electoral votes.
"The party that wins the Negro
vote in 1913" he adds, will be the
one that offers some concrete evil
denee that it intends at least to
help him get a square deal" He
says that the Negro is thoroughly
disillusioned by past campaign
promises Of Democrats and Re-
publicans and watches with q
hard-boiled eye the antics Of the
would-be Presidents and law
makers"
The Negro leader reports that
President Truman gained a great
deal of support from the colored
people in his Lincoln Memorial
speech last summer, when he said
"the federal government must show
the way toward extending civil
rights to every citizen"
"At the moment, President Tru-
man seems to be strong among
the Negroes" he continues. ..
The question Is whether he can
hold what he has gained, or
whether the good will which he
created for his party and his own
candidacy will be OVerthrown BY
the actions Of southern members
Of Congress- 80.
But there appears to be no en-
thusiasm at all for any Of the cur
rent Republican candidates. And,
Of course, as far as the Negroes are
concerned, there is no comparison
between President Truman and
Franklin D. Roosevelt, despite the
Presidents present popularity"
White declares that the current
political power Of the Negro in the
north and west, due largely to the
migration Of Negroes from the
south In the two World Warn, has

After Fl Years
Woman Faces
Murder Charge

PHILADELPHIA - The saying
Murder will out" took q strange
turn Tuesday when Eva Coleman,
80, was flown back from Chicago TO
face q murder she committed 81
years ago. She was living happily
in Chicago until last March when
someone dropped a card to Phila-
delphia police. 1t said:
"You are looking for Eva Cole
man who murdered q woman named
Mary near 4th and Carpenter st.
in Philadelphia in 1926. She 10 lv-
ing at 21s z. 49th St., Chicago, in
an apartment on the fourth floor.
She is going under the name Of
Lucille Turner" The card was not
signed.
The murder victim, Mary" the
card mentioned, turned out To be
Irene Wilson, 81, Of 1913 S. 18th
St., who was stabbed to death by
Eva Coleman on July 8, 1926.
The anonymous card started
the wheels Of the Law moving. In
April, Eva Coleman was arrested.
Seven months passed before her
eXtraditiOn was agreed and APP
proved.
Back in Philadelphia Tuesday,
the fugitive admitted the murder
readily to police. She claimed self
defense. She said that she fought
with Irene Wilson over a dispute
which grew out Of the noise some
children made in the hallway Of the
house in which they both lived.
Irene, she said, had a gun. She, in
her own defense, grabbed a pair of
scissors. In the seuffle, she stabbed
the other woman who fell to the
floor bleeding.
She said when she first fed
Philadelphia, she went to Gary,
Ind, and lived there for several
years. Then she went TO Chicago
where her father operates a res
taurant.
When legal matters were
cleared between the states Of
Pennsylvania and Illinois, Clar-
enee "Sparkey" Jones. a homicide
squad detective, and Mrs. Annette
Sledge, n pOlieeWoman, few to
Chicago and returned with the
fugitive Tuesday afternoon.
The Chicago investigation, fol-
lowing a fash from Philadelphia
police, was conducted by 1t, Asher
and bet. Sgt. Link who identified
Miss Coleman and placed her under
arrest.
There will be no initial hearing
in the case as an Indictment was Is
sued 81 years ago. Eva Coleman
will face trial in about three weeks.
Mrs. Dorothy LOekett, 2lO7 Fifth
Ave. &c., passed a civil service sx-
animation this week and Is an as

broken through from a closet.
After the alarm Mrs. James
Lewis and other members Of the

The entire lower floor of the
