Arizona State Fair
November 5-l4

n w ~A@AN IA ~ - ~
Apart from the largest and finest
array of exhibits ever shown in the
state, Fair Commission Secretary,
Paul F. Jones says that this years
state fair will offer the public a
real outstanding program in the
entertainment department.
Long before you think of the
fair, Jones is busy cooking up"
new and attention-compelling fea-
lures and innovations to make the
visit of both adults and children a
completely joyous as well as an
educational adventure.
During the ten days of the fair,
November 5-14, the fair grounds in
Phoenix promises to be the gayest
spot in the state.
The midway, always feature to
anticipate and remember, will be
handled by Crafts 20 Great Shows,
'top people" in the business.
A veritable host of new ideas in
lighting and decoration are being
constructed and the place is rapid
ly assuming a "beehive" quality as
workmen swarm over the grounds
and buildings.
An innovation this year is free
show for which a stage will be
erected in the exhibit area. A mag
ic act, clowns, headed by Pa and
Ma Quackenbush, an exceptionally
clever puppet show and "corn"
band are some of the features al
ready booked for this free stage
presentation.
The various buildings and the
palms bordering the main promen-
ade are being floodlighted. New
fountains have been built with
both underwater and flood lighting
in multicolor. An after dark visit
to the fair promises to be delight
full experience.
Displays in which special lighting
effects play an important part will
be seen in both the agricultural
and. the floral buildings.
One elaborate feature that will
be we'll worth a "long look" por-
trays the progress Arizona has
made since the time when the pio-
neers settled on the desert up thru
the years to the greatly developed
"state" it is today.
/ On the track every afternoon 8
card of horse racing is being offer
ed and on the morning of Nov. IL
Armistice Day, auto races featur-
ing some of the greatest drivers in
the country will be presented.
doc" Mcclure, local auto, rae
ing impressario, states that he will
have Rex Mays, Indianapolis run
ner, Bill Shelter, Ted Horn, two
year national champion and lead
ing this year, Bill Holland, Duke
Nalon, and other speedsters of like
calibre on hand to provide the
thrills.

hundreds of thousands Today when questions

One might go enumerating the strikes and

"batte of the giants of industry is losing one for all
concerned.
Problems developing out of the relations of capital and
labor certain to arise from time to time but the fact
which should always ke kept in mind, that upon the
prompt and fair settlement of their problems depend the
peace and prosperity of the country.

Text Of Letter
(Continued from page u

caused me to suffer in prison 18
wears under false circumstances.
They also have forgotten how they
cheated me with their justice.
How cruelty and brutally they
treated me for many gloomy years.
And so many years I have slaved,
exposed to all sorts of weather by
the slave drivers. Why, the bosses
have made me pull plows, they
have used me and others like
mules. 1 got proof for this. One
Willie Colman pulled the plow un-
til 'he gave completely out. The
boss in turn whipped the boy with
heavy sticks numerically on the
state farm in Atmore, Ala.
1 have seen Negroes heads rolled
up iii the doors of cars and beaten.
One boss sits in the car whipping
him in the face and another boss
on the outside of the car whipping
the hind part.
Now 1 was faced with tough
problem. The whole. five years
spent in Atmore. I was put on the
spot the very first day I was there.
The fact is that the bookkeeper,
Frenchie Home, being in Scots
boro, he bent over backward try
ing to get the inmates to put me
out saying that 1 had caused the
state a lot of trouble, that I had
caused the state to put n -----
on the jury roll. to serve as jury.
But I was wise. Nobody could
play up to me except friend. But
once I got careless and came pref
ty near getting put out. You see
the bosses tried all they could to
get the Negroes against me. One
of the bosses, Charlie Sidmore, put
a weak Negro up to "steaT' me (to
knife. e.-Editor.) one night. He stole
me of course. I got it in the lung
over the heart and arms. But after
all I wasn't afraid. I fought him of
with my hands until my friends
came to my rescue.
Now as far as the Alabama par
dons and parole board of Alabama
You no doubt remember the case
of I. B. Berry, who was sent back
to Alabama by the state of New
York a while ago. The parole board
then tried to show that they meant
right. Within a short time they
paroled Berry, bu it was only fol-
short while, long enough for the
public to forget. Then they reached
back and got Berry, who is now in
prison. They bawled him out, say
ing, 1--WE will teach you a lesson
about going to New York." and
they are really teaching him a les
son.
Now it is a terrible shame how
Negroes are treated once they be-
come a prisoner. Why they are
considered no more as human be-
ings. Something should be done
Immediately to prevent the out
rageous attacks on the Negro pris-
oners of the South.
Now as for myself, I have never
had a proper chance in life. OF
course, since I am restored to free
dom and life, am begging society
to please allow me chance to dc
good since I have never had a
chance. Do not vote for me to GO
back into a living hell. Please give
me the assistance of every possible
kind. Save me from my personal
enemy. I would be very glad, you
know.

On and Off Campus
BY DEL GREEN

Editors Note: This is the begin
ming of Series of Articles Civ
ing Insight on Our Students Ac-
tivities at Tempe CollegeD
The campus at Arizona State
College, once barren and uninhab-
itated this summer is again alive.
The students are hurrying and
scurrying here and there in an at
tempt to become settled for the Sc
mester. AS usual, there are always
the befuddled freshman. To them
the beginning of College is an i'm
measurable experience, however,
the novelty is soon to wear off.
They, too, will learn that burning
midnight oil and keeping their
noses to the grindstone is a coun-
terpart to what now seems adven-
ture.
Many former personages have
returned and with them have come
seemingly endless flow of new
faces. Our new students seem to
have phobia of becoming acquain-
ted-that brings us to the Dunbar
club. The Dunbar Club is Col
lege sponsored organization de-
signed as social outlet for the Col
ored students registered at Arizona
State College. This semester Leon
A. Cherry is its president No
doubt; he shall introduce and en-
deavor to adopt new policies and
for a change materialiZe those aeS-
thetic dreams of yester-semesters
It is sincerely hoped that the STU
dents and officers of this organiza-
ton will make the necessary
amends and administer first aid to
a now crippled, and yet worth
while club. 1t can still be something
to be proud of.
GAMMA IOTA CHAPTER OF
Kappa Alpha Psi has launched its
campaign for pledges. This will be
the first semester the organization
came to be active upon the cam
pus. 1t is one of the two national
college fraternities approved by
the college. The chapter has many
entertainment plans outlined for
our local and diminishing social
life Stick around and watch the
Kappas start activity on jet
| flight.
A FANFARE OF blasting horns
and tremendous applause from
appreciable citizens is the setting
for extending our profound con-
gratulations to DR.. A. B. Thomp-
son, Tucson, Arizona, for leaving
the Regional Convention of the Far
Western Province of Kappa Alpha
Psi with the achievement award.
This award is presented yearly to
some fraternity member in the
Western Province, comprising Cal
ifornia, Arizona, Washington and
Oregon whose personal achieve
ments have been outstanding. DR..
| Thompson was also elected as a
delegate to the forthcoming Ma
tional Conclave to be held in De-
troit, Michigan in December.
KING FOOTBALL is back. Our
sepia backfield star, "Dit" Warren
will be missed from the Sun Devil
eleven, but I understand he has a
coaching job at Dunbar e1emen-
tary school, putting the men of to-
morrow through their PAGES of ed
ucation. He has great material and
beyond a doubt his ability shall
make them a great team. We
switch the limelight upon that

PicketS Seal Plant ,
Gates at Reynolds

Pickets sealed off the huge Rey-
nolds Metal Company plant on
West Van Buren street yesterday
morning, refusing to let salaried
workers or company officials enter,
they reported.
The action came after return of
union officials from Pittsburg, Pa,
and a breakdown of conferences
there called to settle the weeks-old
wage dispute which has kept the
plant-Phoenix' largest industrial
enterprice-idle.
Both Sheriff Cal BoieS and STAN
ley Kimball, captain, were out of
town, but no action was anticipat-
ed to aid the officials or salaried
workers in entering the plant. A
picket told a reporter shortly after
Glenn Bakken, production mana
ger, was refused admittance, that
a police escort would be necessary
to- enter the plant.
w. G. Shillig, personnel director,
was inside the plant with mainte-
nance personnel, now apparently
forced to live inside the gates, and
was assisting in preparing their
meals.
Union representatives were un-
available late Monday night, but
earlier in the day c.. L. Swaty, en-
ployee and union member who re-
sides at 1852 South Seventh street,
accused them of violating the un-
ion constitution in refusing to call
| a meeting to vote on continuance
of the strike. The work Stoppage
! began on August 26th.
The union man said he believed
most members are in favor of &C
cepting the company's compromise
10 per cent wage increase and that
he represented group which plans
to call a membership meeting.
Meantime, James E. Robinson is
sued statement for the union on
the Pittsburgh negotiations.
'The company stood firm on its
12-cents-an-hour offer,"' he said!
'"The reason the company gave for
denying any further increase was
its alleged unsound financial con-
dition.
Through our research depart
ment we are able to obtain finan-
cial statement which shows the
company made more than % per
cent on its net worth in 1947.
"The union officials at the meet
ing discussed settlement of the
wage issue on basis below the or
iginal demands of the union. The
company rejected all offers made
by the union. The company firmly
believes it can starve the striking
union members into submission and
acceptance of the company's made
quate offer"

vicksburg Man
Now Well Known
Chieagoan Held
For Murder OF
Wife
JEALOUSY BELIEVED
MOTIVE IN STAYING OF
PRETTY DESIGNER

Chicago, Sept, 80 - Johnny
Holiday, A, we'll known barten-
der at The DISABLE Hotel and a
member. of the Board of Direc-
tors of Walters and Bartenders
Local No. 444, confessed the MUIR
der of his pretty wife, Ernestine,
during a quarrel early last Friday
morning.
Holiday is native of Vicks-
burg, Miss, where he returned
to bury his Mother early this
year.
According to Hyde Park Police
Holiday denied the Staying and
told them his wife has apparent
ly committed suicide.
Patrolman William Kern said
Holiday called the police station
early that morning stating that
his wife had killed herself and
that he found her sitting an o
radiator window seat with a re-
volver in her lap. An investiga-
ton revealed that the weapon
had been wiped free of stain and
finger prints, leading to the sus-
picion that her husband had COM
mitted the crime. Further ques-
tioning brought a change in his
story. Holiday gave no reason
for his act. 1t is believed that
jealousy motivated the killing.
The slain woman is the niece
of Edward L. Snyder, wellknown
real estate man and promoter. She
was employed as a fashion de-
signer in a Loop establishment.
Funeral services will be held in
Selma, Ala, her home. A sister,
Mrs. Carver Watley of Detroit,
Mich, will accompany the body.
