tinue the ban on Negroes.

discrimination II did not repre-
sent a ballot on official confer
ence resolutions and was not bind
ing on anyone.
The question of religious dis
elimination also came up but no

Medina ChiIdren's
Service Boasts Of
Super L.P. Children

Many homemakers who had
given up hope of hearing the pat
ter Of little feet In their homes
have found a happy solution for
their problem at the Medina Chill
dren's Service in Seattle. At the
Children's Service is a staff of
understanding people who to date
have a record of placing for ad-
option a large number of babies
whose development classifications.
according to their records. are ac-
tually superior.
These children, especially
chosen by the Service because of
their placeability, are given the
best of care and are eligible for
adoption to families who can pass
a minimum standard requirement.
A member of the staff of the
Medina Service stated that many
people believe that there is lot
of RED tape associated with the
adj ption of a child, but with the
Medina Service the essentials for
adoption are the ability to give a
normal home life and economic
security. The adopting parents
must be of good character and
health. Other requirements are at
a minimum. Full information can
be secured by calling at the office
of the Medina Children's Service.

DIVIDE NEGROES
AMONG 48 STATES.
WHITE SAYS

BIRMINGHAM Ala (ANP) =
Divide mp the Negroes of this
country among the 4S states, JOS
eph P. Mudd. Birmingham attor-
ney. white, proposed here last
week. He expects to present his
plan TO southern governors and
southern congressman.
Under the Mudd scheme, the
Negroes of the south would be
spread over the other states of
the union so that all OF them
would have the same proportion Of
Negroes in their total population.
TO replace them in the south,
Europeans would be imported,
Mudd said.
Mudd's hope is that all the
states be given the privilege
of uplifting the Negro race in
the future just as the south has
done in the past 200 years, SO
he says.
In his words the rise of the
Negro is due to the strength and
virility of the civilization of the
southern white people.
But the burden of elevating
the Negro should be equalized
among other Americans who live
in non-southern states. They
should be entitled to receive their
proportionate share of the credit
for this great uplift by translat-
ing their patronizing advice, SO
freely given on how the south
should handle its racial problem,
into deeds and actions"
To put his ideas into operation
Mudd asks for a 10 year con-
gressional housing program to
settle the migrating Negroes in
their new homes and the Euro
peans in the south. Since the U. S.
is feeding these Europeans any
way, he says, bringing them here
would take them off the American
relief rolls.
Expenses of Negroes to their
new homes would also be paid.
IF the non-southern states"
he declared, "could be counted
upon to cooperate to the extent
of accepting their pro rate share
of colored people and aiding them
to secure jobs and get establish
ed on farms or in business, this
plan can be carried out with no
serious social or economic pro-
blems."
This would make every state
have the same racial problem,
he added. Southern whites and
blacks are not the cause of racial
strife In the south, he said, but
northern agitators from minority
groups who present southerners
as "hicks and hillbillies."

WOMAN WHO
ACCUSED KHAN OF
Staying RELEASED

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Negro School
Teacher Amy James Mallard,
charged with numbering her hus-
band, was released to attend his
burial and is cooperating with us
fine now" a state investigator
said tonight.
The woman, bedraggled and OBJ
viously shaken, came into Sayan-
nah today alone. She was re-
leased last night into the GUS
tody of one of her attorneys, Ellis
Pope, at Lyons, Ca, 100 miles to
the south.
She said she had been too ter
rified to make the Savannah trip
by bus and spent most Of the
night In drenching rain, pro-
tected only by a light raincoat.
Friends drove her here, she
added.
At Atlanta. Capt. Delm r
Jones, Of the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation, promised a new
break" in the investigation "in
two or three days."
Jones said the woman was re-
leased without bond to attend the
burial Of her husband, Robert, at
Griffin, Ga. He added that he did
not know just why she went to
Savannah instead of Griffin ''un-
less it was mix-up."
"She is COOPERATING with us fine
now" the investigator said. For
awhile she did not, but after she
obtained attorneys she changed
her attitude"
Also at Atlanta, Gov. Herman
Talmadge declined to comment on
the release of Mallard's widow
without bond. He added Il want
the guilty parties apprehended
no matter who they are"
The widow was arrested as she
left funeral services here for her
husband with burial to follow at
Griffin. Her release at Lyons
came nine hours later.
Upon her arrest on a murder
warrant, she cried out that
Hooded Ku Kluxers" slew her
husband. Still protesting her inno-
cense, she collapsed with hysteria
and was hurried to Lyons.
1t. w. e. McDuffie Of the G.
B. l., who made the arrest, said
he believed the Khan had been
"wrongfully accused"
After her arrival in Savannah,
the widow said through an attor'
ney that she recognized a Toombs
County white man present when
her husband was she. She added
she also recognized the automo
biles of two other men.
Her Savannah attorney, Aaron
Kravitch said, however, her de
scription of clothing worn b,
those she accused of the slayint
did not conform with khan re
gala.
Kravitch said she claimed tn
slayers wore flat headpieces VIII
masks and white capes that cam
down to their waists.

jim CROW IN K. C.

KANSAS CITY -(ABP)- Be-
lief that the Missouri Division OF
Employment Security in the state
capital. Jefferson City. wants to
maintain a Jim Crow setup in
Kansas City has spread through
this area because of recent ques-
tionnaire sent out to employers.
Coming from the office of Mi
chael J. Carroll. director. and
dated Dec. IA. the letter claims to
be an impartial questionable. but
its wording indicates that the di-
vision facors segregation. The let
ter favors:
"Mr. Employer, Kansas City
area:
Segregated offices for serving
colored and white workers and
employers were established in the
Kansas City area over 10 years
ago. This policy was in accord
ance with the community practice
of having separate schools,
theaters, restaurants and hotels
among other things for eolored
and white people.
1.-THE question has been raised
concerning the continuance of the
segregated employment an d
claims offices We are confronted
with the practical problem of de-
termining our course of action in
this respect and we will be guided
by an expression of the employ
ers and workers we serve.
In, order that proper study may
be given to the problem, we are
asking that you complete the
QUESTIONABLE below and return to
us in the envelope provided on
or before Dec. 81, 1948.
This canvass of employer opin-
ion is being conducted in such a
manner that your establishment
and your answer will not be iden-
titled; thus. you need not fear
that you are committing yourself
in any way to an establishment of
policy. A similar poll will be-
taken of workers.
The question asked read: do
you believe that employers and
workers would be better served
through the continuance of segre-
gated employment offices for col
ored and white people in the Kan
sas City area?" Boxes were pro-
vided for a ''yes,' mo" or "un-
decided" answer.
The letter was sent out follow
ing a complaint against the Jim
Grow offices before the Missouri
Equal Rights Committee by Loun-
neer Pemberton, industrial secre-
tary of the Kansas City Urban

Thief Poses New Trick
to Snatch Purse

A thief with imagination took
a woman's purse from the home
of John N. Thomson with a new
technique last week before six

Six persons at dinner were

window. AS they stared in amaze
ment, they saw an ice pick tied
to a stick come through a broken
window, pierce PURGE, then haul
it through the window.
When someone thought to stop
him the thief was gone. He stood
on a wooden sawhorse while mani
pulating the icepick.
