The important lesson to be learn
ed from this fine performance is
that, given an opportunity and
adequate training the Negro new
err fails to rise to the highest re-
sponsibilities of American Citizen
ship. There is nothing unusual a.
bout the Miami Negro Police Unit;
such fine work is being done in
many other sections of the Coun-
try every day. This is true in
Little Rock, San Antonio. Dallas.
and other cities in the south ......
In every rural section, in every

qualed before.
The program of action COM
bines the major portions OF the
programs of action of all groups
fighting for full citizenship rights
for all Americans. 1t forms a
common ground upon which all
such groups can work. 1t presents
a minimum program for legisla
tive and executive departments
of the United States and the sew
eral states. 1t presents a program
around which all forces can unite
in bringing forth new Bill of
Rights, a new Magma Charta, or
a new type of phrase for body
of laws, regulations, and execu-
tive enforcement to make the
Declaration of Independence and
our Constitution mean what they
say.
The report gives the program
of many so-called liberals and
calls for action now. So that now
there is no longer any reasonable
pretext for following the tradition
al stumbling block embodied in
the phrase the time is not ripe.
There is no longer any need for
tolerance or permitting segregation
any place in the United States.
The NAACP will support this re-
port to the fullest as viii all of
its branches and members. It is
necessary that all Negroes and
others interested in full citizen
ship for all American citizens
band together and rcdouble their
efforts to bring about the enact
ment of the legislative program
proposed as well as require the
executive action proposed.
THE full significance of the
need for the enactment of the
program of the Presidents Com
mittee is obvious when we real
izo that this carefully documented
report Of admittedly un-A mcrl-
can activities within our country
and the carefully worked out
program were prepared in per-

be compared with the demonstra-
ton of the interest Of the United
States Congress in un-American

Un-Amcrican Activities. which

piration of the original contract
organized in 1916.
The workers Of local 800 were
organized just thirteen months
ago into the American Federation
of Labor. In September of 1916
the basic pay for workers at the
New Orleans Linen Service was 80
cents per hour There was no pay
for over time work after the ac-
cepted forty hours per week In
general laundry workers toiled
from 50 to 62 hours per week, and
worked at straight time on all
holidays
Despite the fact that conditions
were bad with these workers at
New Orleans Linen Service, those
in the trade at other plants were
even worse off. Il was common in
1916 to find many laundries pay
ing ms little as 27 cents per hour.
As recent as 1887 when the first
attempts were underway for or

Osborne Dance

First stellar attraction in the
Kennewick Active Clubs spring
and summer program Of fine dance
music is Will Osborne and his or
chestra, who will play at the Rich
land Recreation Hall on Thursday,
March "a.
Outlining the Active Club plan
to bring top quality entertainment
to the entire tri-cities area, Bill
Reid said: This Is only the first
Of the several name bands we will
present. Later dances are sched-
uled for Kennewick and elsewhere
in the locality"
His dance committee has for
the first time found il possible to
bring top notch music to dance
lovers of the region at popular
prices, Reid continued. "In the
case Of Will Osborne and his fine
musicians, we are setting the ad-
mission charge at only $l.50 which
includes tax. Tickets sold at this
price are only a few cents more
than the amount regularly charged
for dances in the area" he said.
Tickets will be on sale the first
of the week, Reid promised, at
Bricks Service Station. They
may also be secured from men,
beers of the Active Club. In Rich
land, the tickets will be offered
at the cigar counter in the Re-
creation Hall.

night voted unanimously to as
sumo leadership in the Kennewick
Area for the cancer control drive
that will start in April. The cam
paign will not involve and direct
solicitations, James Walker, chair
man of the Active Club committee
said, but collection centers will be
established throughout the city.
Cancer is one of the most for
midable antagonists of disease
fighters" Walker said, "the very
deadliness of its reputation has
hampered an about assault by
scientists and, medical men, be-
cause it is not subject any OF
us like to think about"
He continues: "But this nialig-
nant killer is now causing one
death in every eight. The people
of the Kennewick area will, we
believe, fully support the great
coordinated attack on cancer that
is opening new era of hope.
