mittee as gathered up from ex-
pressions of a cross section of
the people of the United States
on all levels.
The day has come when it is
most important that we have
done the Gentlemen's Agreement
as of 1868. Watever virtue the
agreement may have had for
the contracting parties is as of
now the vice Of vices, and blinds
the world as it tries to see in
America capacity for sound lea
dership toward real freedom for
mankind everywhere.
Out of this desperate scramble
to maintain white supremacy at
the cost of all that makes for a
richer and fuller life for others,
and what with the Anglo-SaXon
being in the minority with the
atomic bomb, he could easily be-
come so alarmed at having to
yield for pustice sake and as a
means to establishing peace for
all that will repeat the tragedy
of HIROSHIMA and Nagsaki on
the colored peoples of the world.
Only the breaking of the I'M
holy alliance of solid Southern
Republican" bound in a huge
conspiracy with the old North
ern COP on the preservation of
control of tn Negro by a South
enslaved to. one party system
can the South become Tree and
genuinely prosperous and the
world saved from another total,
global, revolutionary war, and
the enslavement Of the non-white
world majority be forestalled.

New Traffic Law
Enforcement Plan
Gets Underway

Law enforcement in general,
will be strengthened throughout,
Chicago as a result of the city's
new traffic control program,
Police Commissioner John c.
Prendergast said today.
"Officers thoroughly trained
in traffic control, accident pre-
vention and accident investiga-.
ton can take care of almost any
law enforcement situation" the
commissioner said. "a policeman
who can track down a hit and
run driver is equally capable of
catching a murderer or a thief.
''The police department." he
said, certainly does not intend
to devote all of it's time to ap-
pretending traffic law violators.
We have specially trained men
whose job it is to see that Chi
cago's traffic laws are observed.
But, in addition, they we'll take
appropriate and necessary action
against any and all law-break-
ers.. Conversely, every other pol
ice officer in Chicago will make
arrests for traffic law viola
lions"
Commissioner Prendergast
pointed out that Chicago has
an opportunity, through this new
traffic safety program, to reduce
it's motor vehicle deaths by 40
per cent in two years" He said
that sos people. were killed and
$4,000 injured on Chicago streets
last year.
81 want to make it clear" the
commissioner said, "that Chi
cago's Traffic Bureau is not be-
ing strengthened at the expense
of any other department. We will
work with the minimum number
of officers necessary to do a
good job"
From now until July !, Prem
dergast stated, Chicago will have
a warm period. Police Of
ficers will continue to make ar

New Attendant
Record in N. C.

ROCKY MOUNT, N. C.ACodnt
Basic, the Jump King. of Swing"
set something in the. way of a
new record for attendance at
one-night dance date last Mon
day night at, the traditional June
German dance at the Tobacco
Planters Warehouse in Rocky
Mount as he played to a total of
almost $4,000 persons in single
nights appearance.
The crowd, which swarmed to
Rocky Mount from every section
of the Carolinas for the tradi-
tional June German affair, was
so great that it was necessary
to hold thsi years dance in two
sessions, the first from 10 p. m.
to 1 a. m. and the second from
2 to 5 a. m. During the first ses-
sion, loud-speakers carried the
Basic Bands music to the thou
sands of persons who surrounded
the vicinity of the Warehouse.
The exact attendance was
clicked at 34,2S7 persons, which
topped the previous mark Of
1880, which Basic had estab-
lished in his last June German
dance stint in 1910.

MURDER AGAIN!

There are just too many murders being committed in
Miami especially in Washington Heights and thinking
citizens becoming much perturbed over this matter
Most of the murders committed at some of our
night clubs at least around places where liquor sold
At of these clubs killed on Sunday night
and it is reported that less than four killings in two
months took place at this particular club
It time for something definite to be done in this
matter to protect the lives of citizens of this community
We have said it before and say again, in
certain terms there too many liquor stores in our
midst
Furthermore the lives of Negroes too cheap.
Our criminal court should take cognizance of this
serious matter If the laws need revision they should be
revised and teeth put into them.
Recently convicted of clubbing another to
DEATH sentenced to IL months Imprisonment We did
not hear the and do not know all the circumstances
but do know a life taken, and in opinion
we'll the consensus in community, this very
cheap price to pay for such offense.
During the same week we read of the of Negro
convicted of holding up White being sentenced to
five years Imprisonment We feel that he got his just
ses But the other hand why such light sentences for
murder. Why the difference?
If the minimum sentence for murder was 10 years,
we would have fewer, and Miami would be much safer
place in which to live.
