RUMOR SALE FOR
2 HARLEM PAPERS

NEW YORK, Nov. 3. (ANP)
Reports that two Harlem news
papers would be offered for sale
soon were being circulated again
this week for the second time since
last June but sources close to the
owners involved maintained that
the stories were only rumors.
The publications mentioned were
the Peoples Voice, edited by De-
ton J. (Jack) Brooks, and the
New York Age, directed by Lud-
low Werner. The latter newspaper
was founded by the late Fred R.
Moore.
Werner does not discuss the
probable sale of his newspapers
with outsiders, members of his
staff said.

| u 7s'47 COMMISSION

In a final statement given exclusively TO the Daily Express,
Messrs. McLin and Sims, CIo-PAC endorsed candidates, said: "We
urge the entire CLIO membership and all West Side voters not to be
msled by efforts of unfnendly n unthinking advisers to "plunk" for
us, but to support us soidly and our program of-maintainng the
Five Cent fare; fair housing and rent control; improved transporta-
ton; improved city finances; adequate recreational facilities and in
creased and improved public services. We fell we have definitely
made a valuable contribution to better race relations in Dayton by
offering the working people of this city, regardless Of race, creed,
Sc or political affliation, a definite and constructive program for
progress"
The statement went o n to note the glaring absence of any an
nouncement of a specific program for the city Of Dayton by the in
cumbent candidates. 1t also castigated the "so-caled free press for
following the dictates Of Big Business by attempting to influence the
masses of people to vote against their own interests, by appealing to
supposed race hating workers who happen to hail from south of the
Ohio river. This can only lead eventually to a miserable failure for the
Democratic way of life"
C. Joseph McLiLn prominent mortician and the first Negro nomi-
nee for the Dayton City commission himself stated exclusively: ere
CARELESS of the consequences of the November 4th election, l feel that
much has been and can be accomplished. Down thru the years Ne
groes have supposedly secured the support of the two major political
parties, but have, in every instance, failed to make the grade in the
primary because their party running mates have given them support
only when appearing before West Side audiences, while deity "knif-
ing" them in other sections of the city We have accomplished our
on all programs and before all groups uring them to support us and
our program.
The McLin statement concluded by saying that there were two
significant points to accomplishment to be achieved by voting TO,
Sims and McIin:
1. TLeaders Of both groups are obligated to give every support
to each other;
{. "Fulfilment of this obligation o the part of the West Side, the
full CIO membership, a IS well as other minority groups will lay the
foundation for future cooperation Of under-privileged in their efforts
to secure a full democracy in Dayton, Ohio, and in America"
These are fortnight statements. 1t is up to you, the voters, t
go to the polls tomorrow and elect McLin and Sims to the City Com
mission of Dayton, and to stay behind them in the months to come
if they are elected, to insure that their program is carried out.

ATLANTA, Nov. 3. CAMP
The recent proctice of southern
railroads in removing Negro por-
tiers from service in Negro train
coaches was protested last week
in Georgia.
Rev. w. w. Weatherspool, pas
tor of Mt. Olive Baptist church,
Atlanta, protested to the South
ern Railway system and the
Georgia Public commission that
Southern trains &c and 81 be-
tween Atlanta and Brunswick
have no Negro porter service, al
though at many times there are
more colored passengers riding
than white passengers. Negro wo-
men and children with heavy bag
gage need assistance Of a porter,
it was appointed.
Public Service Commissioner
Walter r. Mcdonald suggested to
Southern railroad executives that
the porter serving white passen-
gers also serve Negro passengers,
if no other arrangement could be
made.

1t is only natural q the fans
of any sport to seel the back
ground of their favorite athlete in
Guiding the boyhood days and the
beginning Of the road to fame and
fortune! So it is with our "Bronz
Dodger" Jackie Robinson, who
reached the pinnacle of the dia-
mond sport by becoming the first
Negro to become a ndior league
ball player and to pc cipate in
a world SERIES. Jac.1ie's "kid"
days were full of exc rent and
dramatic thrills just the or
binary American youth. Jackie,
one of the four boys and a girl
grey up on Pepper street, in the
poor section of well-to-do Pasa-
dena, Calf.
Neither of the children never
knew their father. Mother Rob-
inson never tells anyone about the
father for reasons best known to
herself). Mother Robinson de-
termined to bring her children up
despite the many problems facing
her, ably accomplished this feat by
taking in washing and ironing.
Jackie, the youngest Of the flock
was a member of the we'll known
pepper street gang" and quite a
character. The gang consisted OF
all nations including three or fou,
American-Japanese, Italians, Jews
and Caucasions.
! Breaking street lar IS, causing
the cops in the neighborhood lots
of headaches was the chief sport
of the gang, relates Jackie, who
now looks back on those days with
wonderment.
He played softball on the cor
ner lot with the gang and &C.
casionally earned pocket money
by sneaking onto neighborhood
golf courses to retrieve lost balls.
He could out run the gang, cops
and everyone else in the neighbor-
hood everytime the occasion re-
quired speed.
A stern talk from Mother Rob-
inson put and end to Jackie's golf
ball "hustle" as Ma Robinson was
a staunch Methodist who could be
voulbly graphic on the subject OF
Hell.
In the trying days of the bod
gers trying to win the National
league pennant, Jackie wrote te
his mother and told her to "quit

for the whole team, we all neec

of the greatest hurlers in the
game, and should have made the
big show hands down if the op-
p~ortunity had presented itself in
his younger days.
AS Jackie described the routine
life of the Negro majors. He was
surprised to see the life Of Negro
ball players who with the Mon
archs had to travel in an old bus
often for two or three days at q
time, sometimes from Kansas City
to Newark, N. j., and New York
City, for a single game without g
bath, a bed or a hot meal.
The smart boys of the club
knowing the ropes, would get
aboard the bus early and roll up
their sweaty uniforms and use
them for pillows and slice p in the
isles. yours truly knows all about
this type Of travel with the Buck
eyes). After two months Of this,
Jackie was all for getting out of
baseball for good as he seen "No
Future" but all the time Branch
Hickey was having Jackie secuted
and knew all about his batting
averages which was $40 at the
signing of his contract with the
Montreal Royals, where he got his
start to the big show.

were half empty. "The devil is

he's also sending you to play"
However, Jackie won her over by
taking her to a few of the games.
Ma Robinson kept quiet until
Jackie began playing football, a
game which disturbed both her re-

PEIPING, June 18-tR-Military observers said today the Southern Manchurian offensive by the Chin csc Communists appeared to be gathering momentum.
 The Independent newspaper Y Shin Pao reported the fall of Pen. shihhu, coal town South of Mud. den, and said the Communists wert pressing toward Yingkow.

 All important points South O. Penshihhu on the Mukden- -Antunl railroad were reported lost to tn, Communists.
 Concentrating on the complete isolation of Mukden, the Reds alst were slashing at Yinpan, about 2 miles West of the Gret Fllshur coal mine on the Mukden-Kirir railway.
 Government counterattacks the past two days at Szepingkai seemed to have blunted the Red offensive somewhat in that area. The Com munists fought into S2epingka yesterday.

SITTER ATTITUDE

 Party Meeting
By HAROLD K. MILKS


 RANKING, June 18-R-Gener- slissimo Chiang Kai-Shek has been invited to the next weekly meeting of the Luomintang Central Politi- cal Council-the Government par- tvs highest policy-making body to help draft a revised policy which may include a stiffer atti- tude toward Russia, Council memter told the Associated Press today.
 The committeeman said the high governmental body was of the opin- ion the Soviets were maintaining close liaison with both the outer Mongolians and the Chinese Con- munistS.
 He said that while no formal resolution was adopted, the major- ity of committeeman upheld the foreign office contention that Rus sia was at least partly responsible for the outer Mongolian attack on China's remote Sinkiang Province on June 5, and demanded a firmer stand regarding the Soviets.
 Some members, he said. were puzzled by Foreign Minister Wang Shihchieh'ss policy of blow ing first hot and then cold on Chinas relations with it's neigh tors.

SOCIAL SECURITY
 PAYROLL TAX X
 FROZEN, 2 YEARS

WASHINGTOlS, June Is. - R- The House passed unanimously to- day a bill freezing the Social Ge- curity payroll tax at present rates for two years.
 If passed by the Senate and ac- cepted by President Truman the measure will block an automatic $2,- 900, 100000 annual increase in the levy on January 1.
 The legislation provides, however, for an increase in the tax in 1850 to from one per cent to Is per cent each against employees pay and employers payrolls. In 1857 the tax would jump to two per cent against each.
 Without the freeze, the levy would have increased January l to 2.5 per cent against employer and employee. The present one per cent tax col lects about $1,50O, 100000 annually for the Social Security old age and survivors insurance program.

FIVE BOYS ARE INVOLVED, THEFT
 OF FIREWORKS
Conference Taking Place Today-List of Stolen
 Goods Is Made

Parents of five Juneau boys were to appear at Police Headquarters this afternoon to talk with Chief of Police Milo Clouse and City Magistrate William A. Holzheimer about the theft of the City's Fourth of July fireworks which had been stored in a Rock Dump warehouse. The boys, who will appear with their parents, are part of the gang that broke into the warehouse Monday and removed a large num- Der of valuable and dangerous fire works.
 The Police Department investi- gation revealed today that several boys are involved in the theft. They said that, apparently, two or three hoys broke in, at first, and then later, told their buddies about the large cache of pyrotechnics. Before long, several others helped themselves to the fireworks. The Police are still searching for the others who were involved.
 Some of the missing fireworks were discovered buried in the ground near the warehouse and Police are still trying to locate the remainder. Police said that two 9-inch electrical salutes, one 9-inch announcement and six 9-inch aer- ial flash salutes are all classified as extremely dangerous items and should not be ignited by amateurs.
 All of the remaining items are also dangerous but are less perilous than those listed above. The other missing items contain 84 exhibition candles, 68 ten-ball Roman candles and 100 other pieces including a portion of a large display set.
