The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-08-31
BY Jimmie N. Jones

The standing Room Only"
sign no doubt will be hung on
the office of the Dayton Indians
ticket office Wednesday night
when the two recently purchased
Negro stars, Oresto Minosa and
Jose Santiago, of New York Gu
bans of the Negro National, make
their debut with the Indians
against the Fl. Wayne Generals.
The aquisition of the Ebony
hued athletes will swell the at
tendance at Hudson field to an
overlooking capacity and at the
same time give the Little In
dams the much needed pennant
tonic they well deserve.
For the first time in many sea-
sons, Dayton fans have been able
to appreciate a top-notch ball team
and have shown their appreciation
by record breaking attendance.
The assignment of Minossa to
the Indians will add more power
at the plate as we'll as bolster the
infield defense.
The 23-year-old Cuban has been
under the watchful eyes of major
league scuots for some time. It

ment calling for the election of
the President by popular vote.
In newspaper advertisements
signed "E. H.. Crump," the boss
had the congressman a "commun-
list sympathizer," a voting pal of
radical Rep. Marcantonio of New
York and a defender of the
reds"
Although Kefauver does not ap-
prove of all the points on Presi-
dent Truman's civil rights pro-
gram, the Negroes considered him
liberal enough for their votes.
They believed that a man who ia
vored every point on civil rights
would never be elected.
Forming a Negro committee for
Kefauver, they worked for his
victory in the primary which is
the same as election in Tennessee.
He received two-thirds of the COL
ored vote.
Louis R. Johnson, president of
the Memphis Negro Chamber of
Commerce, said:
"We preferred Kefauver to
someone who would have been for
everything in the civil rights bill.
For such a man could 20 have
been elected. We want a man who
is as sympathetic to the plea for
justice 70 rthe Negro as he can
be and still be elected. We know
Kefauver and believe in him. We
didn't want him to defeat him
self"

while the additional mill or $685.
900 will be used for permanent
improvements given priority un-
der the 10-year improvement plan.
In dollars and cents here is
what the tax picture will look to
Dayton real estate owners after
November 2, if all the tax pro-
posals are passed. In order for
this to happen city proposals must
pass by SO per cent and county
proposals by IS per cent MAORI
ties. Currently the tax rate for
every $1,000 of assessed real es-
tate and tangible property is
$24.80. l a resident of the COM
munity has property assessed at
$4,000, his tax will amount to
$248.OO.
However, if the rate is in
creased as proposed the tax will
be $685.. The same resident men,
toned above will then have to pay
on his $4,000, $363.35. In other
words the tax will increase $11.55
per $1,000.
This, then, is just one of the
prospects faced by city voters in
the coming November 2, election.
There have been no time in Amer
lean history which the electorate
has had such important and far
reaching decisions. 1t is incum-
bent on voters to think seriously
on these issues, to realize that they
have a vital role in making" or
"breaking' the nation.

Commission to Vote on
Tax Rate Tomorrow

The voters of Dayton will be
faced with a 6 instead of the
originally planned 5 mill increase
in the tax on real estate and tan
gible property. Proposed will be
a city charter amendment that
would permanently boost the city's
tax rate by Sc per $1,000. Formal
legislation has been prepared for
city action this Wednesday. 1t is
anticipated that the commission
will be unanimous in approving it.
Last Wednesday the commission
voted to request from voters a S
mill levy increase, but City Man
ager Russell Mcclure presented
them with a program of municipal

totalling about $1,875,OOO will be

York Giants in 1906, and tied by
Dazzy Vance of Brooklyn in 1886.
Bankhead gave up three hits
in beating Kolosna in the duel
and who yielded only one blow
and struck out II.
This was Danny's goth game
and following the masterful hurl-
ing of the Ebony highlander, he
was called up to the st. Paul club
of the American association to
become the second Negro to be in
the association and the first of
his race to enter as a pitcher.
Bankhead was purchased from
the Memphis Red Sox, Negro
American league, last season and
brought up to the parent club of
the Dodger system and was tax
en- to the spring training camp this
season ad later sent to the Mon
treal club in the international lea

there, he was sen to the Nashua

Summer Theater
Closes

Last night was the final sum-
mer performance of the Yellow
Springs area theater. However,
there will be little time for mem
bers to sneak off on vacations,
for the annual winter season will
start September II, about three
weeks away. The opening perform
ance will b tn famous long run
play, elf With Father"
Other presentations during the
season will be "The Hairy Ape"
"Volpone," "The Mikado," "Ju-
Illus Caesar" Aristophones' ely
sistrata," and "Of Thee l Sing"
Several other plays are planned
also.
We we're not fortunate enough
this summer to be able to get over
to Yellow Springs to view any of
the performances, but those who
did were lavish with their praise.
One performance in particular was
highly applauded not so much for
its content, as for it's democratic
casting. The play, written by a
Dayton newspaperman, was not a
racial play, but a mixed cast was
used. Negroes played white roles
and whites played Negro roles. 1t
was a comedy and managed to
evoke some hearty, sincere laughs.
Our source said it fell rown in
spots, but that it was generally
good.

MEMPHIS, Aug. 81. (ANP)-
For two decades Boss Ed Crump
has ruled Tennessee, Memphis and
the Democratic party with little
or no opposition, but results of
the recent primaries in Tennes-
see indicate that the state is due
for a change.
The man most responsible for
this breakdown of the Crump ma
chine was Estes Kefauver, Demo-
cratic candidate for the senate who
defeated a man personally select
de by Crump and supported by
the boss in full page ads in news
papers.
One of the factors in leading
Kefauver to victory was the Ne
gro vote, which switched from
Crump to the liberal.
Crump had chosen to red-bait
Kefauver, a congressman who had
opposed the Dies committee and
favored a constitutional amend

Navy Officer Reports Theft
OF Atomic Research PAPERS

Theft of important papers on
atomic research was reported to
police yesterday by a Navy COM
mander now in school at Edgewood
Arsenal.
Comdr. Robert E. Oding, 1920
Jones Mill road, Chevy Chase, Md,
said his briefcase, containing some
clothing, drafting instruments and
the atomic research material was
taken from his parked car in the
1900 block of Thirty-fi street
NV, between 6 and 9 pm. yes
terday.
Comdr. Oding's former Office in
the Navy Department here-a Sec
ton of the chief of naval opera
tions-said, "The papers the COM
mander had probably were impor-
tant to him in his school work. But
they weren't important as far as
atomic research is concerned. They
were merely matter of Pathological
engineering and the safety engineer
ing features of nuclear physics"
Comdr. Oding could not be
reached by telephone.
