A Look at The Past

full campaign which the Daily Elk
press carried on was the one to
weld unity among Negro leaders
on the vital issues affecting the
masses of NeNgroes in the COM
munity.
For example, we were most un-
successful in getting community
action on the famous, or rather, in
famous Summit street "Ugly
Duckling." This is still an import
ant and dangerous project. Fires
do not occur with as much fire.
quency in the warm months as
in the cold months for obvious rea-
sons. But the season for King
Coal will be soon upon us. With
1t will come the ever menacing
death by fire, prodded on by the
delapidated fire traps like eur
enemy on South Summit street.
Now is the time for fortnight
action on this issue. Objections
like this should have top priority
for two reasons: first, human
lives are incolced, and secondly,
because there is little disagree
ment among Negroes as to the ur-
gent need for action of a definite
concrete nature.
Despite the slight gains we have
made we must redouble our eff
forts to move forward and up
ward. The responsibility for ini-
titiating action rests with the
church, fraternal and civic leaders
in the West Side ghetto. Whether
we move forward or backward
should become very evident in the
next very crucial months.

The planning of wedding, any

He made the decision because he
wanted music at the reception by

There are times in the life OF
every man who writes for the
papers when he wishes he had taken
up something more anonymous in
his youth, such as painting pictures
on neckties or driving stagecoaches.
One of the times is when some
thing goes haywire as he approaches
a slow-rolling story and he boots
it into a field box Another of the
times is when his home telephone
rings to rouse him from deep
slumber and pleasant dreams OF
Hedy Lamar. 1t is always some
body with larcenous intent toward
space in a column, who can't wait
until a man gets to his Office to beg
for it. There are times when a
man just can't revere the memory
of Alexander Graham Bell, though
some one else would have invented
the telephone If he hadn't.

Dear Madam:
We are in receipt of your
letter Of the last instant and
read with considerable inter-
est your explanation of your
employment and difficulties
with Mrs. Philippe Petersen,
a native Virgin Island girl.
The one point which we are
not agreed is your exact rea-
son for sending to the far dis
tant Virgin Islands for a maid
when according to your letter
you were not seeking cheap
labor. 1t is also difficult for us
to understand how you were
able to establish contact with
this Mr.. Garcia, a Puerto Ri
can and Mr.. Hendricks a Vir-
gin Islander.
1t is also hard for us to ac-
cept with any degree Of sin
cerity your statement that af-
ter this girl had aggravated
you with her lies about slip
ping in you living room and
running your carpet that you
quite suddenly gave her a tap
on her buttocks jokingly.
In another paragraph of
your letter you state that she
owes you $1,000 on her con-
tract and yet you write that
you did not sign any contract.
to employ her. What kind of
contract then would you have
with this woman which would
cause her to owe you a bal
ance of $1,000?
1t is not necessary for us to
employ the. services Of our le-
gal department to know that.
we are quite correct about the
term ''indenture service" and
contractual labor. The whole
procedure is illegal whether
you were innocently drawn in
to it or not.
This letter has no reflection
upon your responsibility in the
community in which you live
but it does appear to US that

Palestine Massacre
Protest Sent Truman

President Truman has received
a strong protest against the "hor-
rifying massacre" of 76 members
of a Jewish medical convoy near
Jerusalem April 13, according to an
announcement in New York and
Washington by Hadassah, womens
Zionist organization.
Eighty-six physicians, scientists
and educators signed the letter
which DR.. Louis I. Dublin of New
York, member of Hadassah's
Medical Reference Board, handed
TO the President last Wednesday. It
has just been cleared for release,
the~Hadassah announcement said
The letter referred to a seven
hour battle when Arabs attacked
"a medical convoy of II vehicles"
which was making a routine jour-
ney with medical supplies, person
mel and patients to Hadassah Hos
pital, an institution which crowns
the 36 years of medical and scien-
tlfic service in Palestine of a group
OF American women"
Charging that physicians, nurses,
patients and hospital workers were
murdered in the face of a uni
versally accepted principle en-
bodied in the Geneva Convention, "
the letter urged the President "to
use your great position and in
fiuence to make impossible any re-
currence of such tragedy"
