Jack Begun, Scoenwald's asso-

match is one o fthe most impor-
tant of his career and wants to be
in the best possible shape for it.
"The Illinois commission issued
a demand that Charles be ordered
to undergo a medical examination
by a Cincinnati commission doctor.
Why didn't it compel Ray Robin
son to do the same recently when
he backed out of his scheduled
match with George Abrams in the
amphetheater? The Illinois COM

However, the Illinois commits

court had ruled several years ago
in a Texas case that southern
white primaries must be opened
to Negroes. South Carolina evaded
this decision by repeating ALI sta
tutes pertaining to the primaries,
thus leaving the real election in
the hands of the Democratic party.
Party officials contend that this
reduces the primary to the status
of the election by a country club
or any other private organiza-
tons. But both district and cir
cult courts have taken opposite
views, basing their decision on the
intent Of the state actions.
There are other states which
preceded Alabama in freezing out
Negro registration. In Mississippi,
prospective voters r required to
"read or interperet" the consti-
tuition, to the satisfaction Of cir
cult court clerks. The state also
has a proposed constitutional
amendment to change the Ian
guage to "read and interpret"
Louisiana has election laws I'M
der which a registration official
may require a voter to interpret
satisfactorily" the constitution.
The "South Carolina" plan was
sought for Georgia by the late Eu-
gene Talmadge. However, since the
district and circuit courts have
declared the Alabama plan consti-
tutional, Herman Talmadge has
been advocating the same plan for
Georgia.

PROPOSAL Half Million
Dollar Buying Syndicate

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The proposal oo organize
a half million dollar buying syndicate to serve the 10000
or more Negro owned and operated retail establishments
throughout the Nation was made here last Saturday
morning by William R. Hudgins, young executive mem
her of the New York mail order firm of Bell & Hudgins.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-04-06

Mr.. Hudgins advanced the idea
before the closing session of the
3rd annual conference of the Ne
gro in business, sponsored by the
U. S. Department of Commerce.
The conference drew a decord at
tendance of business people.
The Hudgins proposal climaxed
his narration of a success story
written in the gigantic mail order
business by Robert Bell and his
4O-year old partner. In a six year
period, the firm has built an en-
terprise which last year crossed
nearly a million dollars, and ac-
CURED for itself the reputation of
being the leader in the hair at

One hundred and fifty million
dollars worth of business is being
done annually through Negro re-
tail establishments Mr.. Hodgins
pointed out. They handle a large
assortment of items which are
bought in small quantities, gen.
orally through local jobbers and
wholesale houses.
"The plan my associate and l
are working on" he revealed,
recognizes the facts: that New
York City is the buying center Of
the world; that the array of goods
and merchandise there is broad,
and that prices r almost as
varied.
"We believe that certain basic
items which are commonly pur-
chased by a substantial number of
these retail outlets in non-com-
peting areas, could be bought in
quantity lots in New York at a
saving to the merchant and to the
consumer, and at a profit to the
proposed syndicate"
Moreover, he added, innumera-
BILE jobs for young men and wo-
ment pursuing business careers
would be created.
He announced that if further
explanations of the new venture
