Negro Daytonians will have an
outdoor swimming pool for the
first time since they were barred
from white pools (Which has prob
ably been always) if the plans of
the new civically minded club can
go through with its plans to build
one. Stocks have been permitted
to be issued by the group and
should be available soon.
It will greatly benefit Negroes
who have in the past had to travel
many miles in order to ENJOY the
healthful invigoration of SWIM
ming. Bryant Park, ove by Vel
low Springs, a state owned park
has a swimming pool which prac-
tees segregation very strictly. Ev-
cry Saturday afternoon during the
summer months, a period is set
aside during which Negroes are
permitted use of the pool. eau
casians using the pool during the
period do so "at their own risk
of contamination" Or so it might
read.

Outdoor Pool Soon

to time pleaded for is still as far
from realization as it was last
fall. The Federated Council Of Or
CARNATIONS has not functioned as
yet because of a tagging interest
of many members, and because of
illness of executives.
Recreation facilities are pitt
fully low. We should provide our
young people with safer and more
healthful places to play than the
streets. We should do it by plac-
ing our demands with the city
and state authorities: Civic, church
and fraternal organizations should
DIN hands in this venture. This
is the very minimum in the com
ing months.
In the meantime the hackers of
the new pool should be backed to

LARRY DOLBY TOAST
OF cleveland

A record breaking crowd of
1868 rabid fans watched Larry
Dolby, Negro star, make history as
bein gthe first of his race to play
in an opening major league game.
Larry's debut was rather on
the shaky side as he was chosen
at the very last moment by man.
ager, Lou Boudreau to play right
field. Larry's 1854 battin gaverage
in the spring training and his
fielding qualities could not be
denied by the Indian manager
and the tall lanky lad from Pat
terson, N. j., got the nod over
Pat Sorry who held that post last
season..
Larry failed to hit safely and
was saved from being charged
with an error when after dropping
an easy fly ball but recovered in
time to throw to second in time
to force the runner at first who
was trying to reach second on the
"muff", he was given an assist
on the play.
Despite the nervousness of the
lad the fans cheered him through
out the entire game. Dolby came
back in the second game to pole
a 340-foot homer, his first in the
season and played errorless ball in
the field.
The third game found the lad
going hitless in five trips to the
plate almost equalling a strike
out record by whiting five times.
Not to be dismayed by his in and
out tactices at the plate and with
the Indians winning their 4th
straight game against Detroit,
Larry joined the brigade of home
run hitters by lamming out his
second in less than a week from
the opening game.
Both Jackie and Larry have
proven to be the leading assets to
their respective clubs when it
comes to packing the fans in the

MILLER Confident
OF LABOR VOTE

Ray Miller, candidate for gov
ernor in the May a primary on the
democratic ticket, spoke here be-
fore 500 democrats at the Gem
City Democratic club headquar-
tiers. Miller is opposing former
Governor Lausche who is also a
candidate in the democratic pri-
mary.
Miller declared that he is the
only candidate who can cary the
labor vote and win the support of
various factions within the demo-
cratic party. He accused Lausche
Of riding into office on the dem
ocratic ticket and then becoming
independent after getting there.
Miller is endorsed by the Ohio
CLIO political action committee.
C. J. McLin, democratic leader
in the 9th ward, has endorsed
Miller. McLin a for the city
commission last fall on a Negro
Labor coalition ticket, but was
beaten. He then supported Wal
lace for president, but withdrew,
presumably to retain his standing
in the democratic party.
The former mayorl of Dayton,
Edward Breen, candidate for con-
gress from the 3rd congressional
district spoke briefly. In a two
minute talk he said he has al
ways been a democrat and will
always be one. IF he loses, he will
throw full support behind the win
ner. Breen has been accused of
being a tool of the big. business
interests in Dayton. Under the city
manager system it would take a
man of strong will to accomplish
anything as mayor, since the over
whelming bulk of the power re-
sides with the city manager. The
city manager is appointed, not
elected. In addition to Breen,
Everett Young, Edward Gardner
and Jacob Deutsch are candidates
for congress on the democratic
ticket.
AL Horstman, state and county
democratic chairman, gave each
candidate a few moments to ex-
press his political aspirations. He
noted that it was the most inspir-
ing meeting he had attended in
years.

Scouts Plan Camps
For Boys In South

Progress in acquiring Scout
camp sites for Negro boys in the
southern states and the holding of
special training courses for Ne
gro leaders is reported by the Ma
tional office o fthe Boy Scouts of
America in New York.
F%ifty-eight local Boy Scout
councils in southern states report
they own camp sites or have funds
to purchase them. Most of the
sites were made possible through
special campaings stimulated by
the gift of $1,000 from the gen.
eral fund. One Scout council
raised $4,000 and has an ex-
cellent camp site and splendid
equipment.
Special training courses for
Negro leaders we're conducted last
year in two Scout regions. An
aquatic school for Negro leaders
who then train other leaders was
conducted at Palm Beach, Fla,
with 81 men in attendance from
Region 6 comprising North Caro-
lin, South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida.
At Camp Kennedy in Tyler,
Texas, So men attended a special
Scouting course, 43 of them from
Texas, four from Oklahoma, one
from St. Louis, and 10 from Ala
bama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee.
Sixty leaders attended a camp
ing training school and an aqua
tics school at Camp Stanley Har-
ris in Greenville, S. c., and 1874
men took part in a special train
ing school conducted at Morris
Brown college in Atlanta.
Weaver M. Mari, the new ma
tional director of Interracial serv-
ice, has succeeded DR.. Stanley A.
Harris who retired after holding
this post Fl years.
Mr.. MARI says plans are COM
for more and better camp
ing facilities for Negro boys, the
establishment of a training school
for Negro leaders in Region s and
the strengthening of the training
schools for Negro leaders in three
other Scout regions.

Lane Commutes Penalty

La Guardia, 20, whose home was
listed as Youngstown, Ohio, was a

He was convicted In Baltimore

ing June 4, 1947, in a three-man

ton hearing that a medical report

in cold that might have reached 40
degrees below zero.
1t. Zwinger, who has made six
JATO takeoffs from both land and
sea, said that Col. Beaudry probably
required a runway little more than
600 feet to get his specially equipped
CAT off the icecap.
The four bottles of chemicals for
the quick thrust takeoff gave Col.
Beaudry an additional 1920 horse
power-or $50 additional horsepower
per JATO unit.
1t. Zwinger said Col. Beaudry
fired two of the JATO units as his
plane began ground movement and
the other two after he reached a
speed of 40 to so miles an hour.
1t. Zwinger explained each of
the four units used by Col. Beaudry
is good for a 12-second thrust. The
heavy bottles may be jettisoned for
additional speed after the plane Is
airborne
The JATO units are each about
8 feet high and weigh approx
mately 200 pounds apiece.
1t. Zwinger said they contained
potassium perchlorate. asphalt and
oil to be fired electrically by black
powder detonator.
He added that Col. Beaudry's
takeoff might also have been hin
dered because Of the thinner air on
the 7,800-foot altitude level and a
possible high wind.
