|NAACP Appeal to I'm
Presented to Officials

LAKE SUCCESS. - The Nation
al Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People presented
to the United Nations 155-page
petition appealing for elemental
justice against the treatment
which it said the United States
had visited upon Negroes.
The petition said that the effect
of the "color-caste system on
white America has been disas-
trous." that Congress has refused
to pass laws to declare the poll
tax Illegal, and that "the terror
ization of Negroes in the United
States by lynching has long been
an international scandal" 1t also
charged that Negroes have been
denied equal access to educational
facilities of this nation.
u N. officials have said that the
petition would not be circulated
among the U. N. members. Non.
governmental communications are
placed on file and usually might
be seen by any member desiring
them.

Hounds Seek Terrorizer
OF Negroes

BALDWIN, Miss. X A call
went out for Bloodhounds to help
solve the mystery of the elusive
"Ol Man Wiskers," who has been
terrifying Negro tenants in this
cotton community.
For several days wide eyed
sharecroppers have been running
to police with tales of tall, be-
whiskered man who appears
among the cabins around dusk
and, when seen, quickly disap-
pears.
He knocks at doors and then
runs, the Negroes report. Some
times he hides in bushes and
throws rocks at the windows.
Other times he slips in and eats
their food.
Peace Officer Jim Strange says
the tenants describe him as white
with long. shaggy beard.

THE Time IS NOW

The people of Seattle and King
County have been watching the
progress of the Community Chest
campaign, as reported at the daily
meetings of the campaign organi-
cation. They have been watching
with intense personal interest -
for they know the welfare of the
entire community for the coming
year depends on the success OF
this campaign.
On behalf of this community,
we want to address these COM
ments to the thousands of volun-
teer workers who are giving their
time and energy to the campaign:
l. We appreciate the splendid
job of community service which
you public-spirited men and women
are doing. We know that you are
giving unselfishly of yourselves,
for the betterment of our town,
and we want you to know that
you have our heartfelt thanks.
2. The campaign must succeed.
If it does not, you and We and
everyone in Seattle and King
County will be the losers.
8. Your job as campaign vol
unteers will not be complete until
every citizen of our community
has had an opportunity to give
in support of the welfare and
health services which the Com
munity Chest represents. A few
sections of the campaign have
already attained their dollar quotas
- but equally important is ACHE
Yement of the human quota: Your
part in the campaign is not ended
until every person on your list
has contributed his or her share.
4. We are counting on you to
finish your job on schedule, so
that the whole community can rest
assured that there will be no UNI
met needs next year.

cording to Mr.. Squires and his as.
sociate Dr. Harris all the time

but due to their eloquence the
right was accorded to them and
to the other members of their
Committee, Messrs. E. |. Robinson
