Second Home
Bombed in PhilIy

PHILADELPHIA ( A MP -
For the second time in one month,
Negroes have been moleSted by
attempts to wreck their proper
ties.
The latest victim, Bennie Smith,
and his wife, Anna, who live in
the Shipyard Home project,
heard a thud shortly before
neighbors notified him that his
home was on fire.
The bomb, of incendiary ma
ture, was thrown onto the shed
overlooking the entrance of their
home. This shed, of fireproof
composition, probably prevented
complete destruction of the prop
erty. The blaze was confined to
the outside of the house.

White Australians are fright

admittance of darker races into
the country. In South Africa the
Nationalist government promises
a greater segregation policy than
the country has had in the past.
In East Africa the story is the

Even in dealing with the Chi

The British in Africa, Aus

Transport and education, recre-

essentials for living would be put
handily in their way.
Few underprivileged people
in the world could resist such a
program. The liveliness Of the
Kaffirs is manifesting itself on
many fronts. Their political
awareness and their increasing
race consciousness seek more ac-
tive expression. They need con-
ISOLATION for their Illustrations.
They are demanding a platform
where they can feel that their
grievances win at least be heard
and noted"
