Walkers Barber
College Takes Case
To Supreme Court

The Arizona Supreme Court was
asked Monday to order the State
Board of Barber Examiners to Ii
cense neWly-organized BARRIERS
college, in which large number
of veterans are enrolled, or show
cause why such action should not
be taken.
Torrance A. Carson, Phoenix
attorney, appeared before the
court with a complaint that Thel-
ma L. Walker, has been denied a
license to operate barber college
at 533 East Jefferson Street.
The court was told that she was
advised orally by some members
of the board that the haircutting
profession did not want any bar
ber college within the state of
Arizona.
In addition, the petition filed by
Carson asserted, she was told that
if her college was licensed there
would be an oversupply of BARRIERS
in the state, and this would bring
a trend toward lower haircut
prices.
Mrs. Walker has been operating
a beauty school for several years
and organized the barber college
in March at the request of "a group
of veterans, the petition said
However, the state board re-
turned to her the $125 license fee
she mailed for conducting a bar
ber college.
Carson said that the college has
been filling all the requirements
of the law, both as to its organi-
rational setup, and staff.
He said the boards purpose was
to control barber prices, which
are outrageously high" and to
limit the number of BARRIERS al
lowed to pactice under the laws
of Arizona.
Eighteen World War II veterans
are enrolled in the college under
the CT Bill of Rights. Most of
them are Negroes, the rest are of
Spanish-American ancestry, he
said.
The veterans institutional and
on-the-job training council has ap-
proved the college, Carson de-
clared.
He received permission to take
his case to the Supreme Court i'm
mediately, rather than filing it in
a lower court first.
Despite the fact that the fed
eral Government has Cancelled the
recognition of the school, all stud
ents are still attending classes
with hope that the Supreme Court
will hand down decision in their
favor.

What eNegroEx- CIsReturned To In Szztth?!
BY ABNER w. BERRY

NEW YORK. - While Senator
Vandenberg, in support of Presi-
dent Truman, calls for an unlimit-
ed expenditure of billions for over
seas empire, some 100000 Negro
veterans of World War II live un-
der conditions not far removed
from those in the Hitler-land they
fought to destroy.
Over 40 Negro ex-fighting men
have been lynched since VI Day
in Southern states. And neither
federal nor state governments
have convicted one lyncher.
No appropriation has been asked
by any official-state or federal
to protect the rights and relieve
the suffering of this army of sec
ond-class citizens.
Not one lyncher in prison, and
not one official has been prose-
cuted for laXness in protection of
human life. Instead, the one
agency established to protect the
rights of all exservicemen acts to
continue the South as the Negro
veterans prison house.
Deprived of Benefits
The 100000 Negroes who fought
for democracy stand to lose $780,
100000, or more, in lost terminal
leave pay, and the Southern land
lords stand to gain the right to
continued use of black labor power
to build new feudal fortunes.
That's why the Veterans Admin
istration in the South does not pro-
vide facilities for Negro veterans
to get benefits under the CT Bill
of Rights. To date, according to a
field report, only one out of every
100 Southern Negro veterans have
applied for terminal leaev pay.
In Atlanta, the Public Affairs
pamphlet "Our Negro Veteran"
points out, "only seven out of 100
employees of the Veterans Admin
istratiOn are Negroes" The same
proportion - and less charac-
terizes the Southern policy of the
VA.
The same pamphlet claims that
there is Negro representation on
merit rating boards and legal and
adjudication divisions of VA in
only one city in the whole coun-
try.
How then is the Negro veteran
in the South expected to get even
the routine benefits from the CT
bill and other evt legislation? He
has to apply for these to the same
people who are interested in
keeping the Negro in his place."
Defrauded of Savings
The cards are also stacked
against ex-SoldierS who accumu-
lated savings in the service as was
the case of George Dorsey, lynched
last July together with his broth
er-in-law and the wives of the two
men. Dorsey had invested his saw
ings in a cotton crop, debt-free at
the time of the lynching.
And the white landlord, 10y
Harrison it is reported, had access
to the cash savings of both. fami-
lies. Roger Malcomb, the brother
inrlaw, had crop laid by also.
Harrison, the only eyewitness to
the quadruple murder, stood to
gain crops and cash to the tune OF
a few thousand dollars. -
John @. Jones, a veteran Of the
Battle of the Bulge, was Iynched
last August s in Minden, La. He
had begun suit to recover rights to
oil-prOducing land owned by his
grandfather and leased to an oil
syndicate. The land still is pro-
ducing thousands of barrels of Oil
per month for which the Jones' re-
ceive $1.5O per month.

PENSACOLA
JEWS IN INDIA ASK
MINORITY RIGHTS

LONDON (JTA) = Minority
rights for Indian Jews and jewish
representation in the Indian Con-
stituent Assembly has been urged
in a memorandum submitted TO
the Provisional Indian Government
by the Bombay Central Jewish
Board, A. Cynowicz, a member OF
the Board who is presently visiting
here, told the Jewish Telegraphlc
Agency.
He reported that negotiations on
these demands are in progress.
Cynowicz said that the Indian
Jews are anxious to have safe
guards for Jewish rights in the
new constitution, although, ne
pointed out, there is no Jewish
problem" in India and cordial re-
lations exist between the Indian
Nationalist and Jewish leaders,
some of whom are members Of the
Congress Party.
Cynowicz declared that despite
the tendency of European Jews in
India, whom he estimated at about
ten percent of the Jewish popula-
ton, to emigrate and the gradual
transfer of many Jewish-owned
industrial establishments to IND
ians, political developments in the
country will not materially affect
the 10000 to $4,000 Jews. Emf
grafton is almost completely con-
fined to European Jews, he en-
phasized.
Cynowicz participated in the
last World Zionist Congress at
Basic and was elected member
of the Zionist Actions Committee.
He plans to visit Palestine shortly,
prior to his return to Bombay.

Rent Increase
Hits Families

WASHIN TON, Aug. 22
(LPA) - During the first five
weeks of the COP "rent control
law, 519,238 families have had
to sign leases raising their rent
15%, the Office of Rent Control
announced last week.
Worst hit were tenants in the
midwest area centering in Chi
cago, where 1897 of all con-
trolled rental units were affect
ed by the 15% boost. This in
cludes the states of Iowa, Illinois
Minnesota, Nebraska, North and
South Dakota and Wisconsin.
While only 3.3% of the rental
units now under control have
been raised 1879, union and vet
erans' officials here predict that
the proportion will be much
larger before the end of Septem-
Der.
Union officials still repeat
their original advice to tenants
not to sign the voluntary" 15%
leases.
