3OOOOO TRUE COMICS HIT NATIONS NEWSSTANDS
Urban League, Deltas, Publish Second Issue of Negro Heroes

Urban League, Deltas, Publish
 Second Issue of Negro Heroes
 Responding to a nationwide de mand, the Delta Sigma Theta Sor- ority and the National Urban Lea que releaesd this week 300,0OO copies of NEGRO HEROES, No. 2, picture-color true stories of Jackie Robinson, Booker T. Wash ington, Sadie T. M. Alexander, Toussaint L'Overture, Mabel K. Staupers, Sugar Chile Robinson, and the adventures of the 784th Tank Battalion in World War H.; and short sketches of Frederick Douglass, Katy Ferguson, Phyllis Wheatley,. Tom Molyneaux (early 18th century boxer), and Alexan- der Pushkfn, the Russian poet.
 The true stories in the 32-page booklet meet 1ong-felt need for inspiration material for young America. They will also serve to supplement Negro history texts and to promote interracial under standing. Following the publication of the first Negro Heroes in 1947, hundreds of enthusiastic letters were received by the National Ur- ban League from teachers, coun- sellors, and parents, commenting the venture and urging additional issues. Many of the letters came also from boys and girls who list ed the names of other Negroes they would like to read about, sev eral of whom are included in the second issue.
 COOPERATIVE VENTURE
 The successful publication of the second NEGRO HEROES is the result of an unprecendented ges- ture of cooperation on the part of Delta Sigma Theta, one of the two oldest national sororities of Negro college women. The sorority sell ected the magazine to help imple- ment it's national project on Job Opportunities.
 "We believe" stated Dorothy I. Height, Delta Sigma Theta presi- dent, "that boys and girls will be thrilled and inspired as they read of the lives of Negro Americans who have been successful in var ious fields. We are very glad to cooperate with the National Ur- ban League in presenting NEGRO HEROES, a significant innovation in education and race relations. We hope to place many more issues of NEGRO HEROES within the reach of our youth, for we know they will enjoy reading them. More than that, we hope they will get some ideas that will help them make up their minds to show their teachers, parents and friends that they, too, can be among heroes in American life.
 Plans are already in operation for the third issue, slated for a Fall release, and will be announced later by Guichard Paris, National Urban League Director of Promo tion and Publicity.
 If copies of NERGO HEROES are not available in local eommuni- ties, they may be secured from the National Urban League offices, 1133 Broadway, New York City 10.

wicked impressions were soon found out to be untrue and as Jamaicans and Americans got to know one an- other in time, ideas and customs were exchanged, whereupon, the wrong done was not only rectifed, but a greater and warmer feeling of brotherhood was instantly felt.
 Although their accents were somewhat different, their aims and objectives were the same-the love of God and the pursuit of happiness. This mutual feeling brought about a closer relationship to one an- other.
 In strange land far from home, when one is low in spirit and trou- bled perhaps, it gives joy and pleas ure to meet kind and sympathetic persons .Jamaicans had that warm glow in their hearts and it was l<indled by the spark of human kind ness extended them by the Ameri- can Negroes. This realism compels an observation of Christian-like hearts much to be admired. lama jeans saw the great possibilities in whatever field of work a man de- sires, they saw the vast expanse of land and it thrilled them and the many and wonderful achievements performed by growing Nation and liked them.
 Last but not least, they saw the Americans and loved them.

Shuts Replaced By Worst Enemy Of Africans

y ca-Jan Christian Shuts is out as prime minister, a post that means chief Negro oppressor-of the Union of South Africa, but the natives and colored people who live and work in state of peonage have no cause for celebration.
 Dr. Daniel Francois Malan, "A, whose Nationalist party won the majority in the parliamentary election is a greater Negro oppres- or than the 78-year old Shuts. He won the election by claiming that Shuts was weakening on the race issue and promised to do a bet ter job.
 Shuts was defeated for re- election to parliment from his home district Thursday while his party was losing the parlimen- tary majority. Once before he was defeated in his home district, after serving as premier from 1919 to 1924. In the Union of South Africa no one can be prime minis ter unless he is a member of par liament.
 Still A Factor
 Shuts is not out of the pie ture. When he was defeated in 1924, his party shifted him to district where the machine controlled the vote, and re- turned him to office in a by election. He did not return to the prime minister's chair until lo3o, however.
 What approaches slave labor has been the basis of the South African economy. The social structure imposes segregation on all non-Europeans. Indians and colored people are barred from owning property and living in certain districts. Native Negroes can own nothing, and live in com pounded called "kraals." The same word is applied to cattle pens.
 In the frontier provinces and the mandated territory of South west Africa, which Shuts govern ment took over last year in spite of the United Nations, Natives are forced to pay a head tax'' to the government. A man often works several years to pay the levy on himself, each person in his family over IS years of age.
 Cannot Leave Camps
 While he is in the work camp of some private concern, he can not visit his family without special permission. Then he must get government pass to travel. Penal ties for running away from the camps are severe, and usually must be worked out for the same employer.
 Uprising against these con- ditions have been put down by airp1ane bombings in the man dated territory, and by machine gun fire at plant gates, all under the two Shuts regimes.
 These are the things Shuts was sworn to uphold, and Ma1an pro- mises to carry them out even fur ther.
 The whole election centered around the color question, and the problem of Negro oppression has even forced a shift in foreign policy.
 Defy Whole World
 Formerly, South Africa was considered the seat of the British Empire and since the war British gold has been flowing there for in- vestment at fabulous rate. When the United Nations protested the seizure of Southwest Africa and India demanded that oppression of Indian Nationals be stopped, a strong movement to sever ties with Britain and the rest of the world developed.
 Malan rode into office on the strength of this movement.
 The extent of which South Afri- ca will go to preserve these con- ditions was indicated by its refusal to answer India's charges last fall, although directed to do so by the LIN.

For SIX weeks now ex-SeTVlceTS
have been getting notices that their
insurance is about to run 'out.
Here's why, and what to do about It,:
National Service Life Insurance is
issued as term insurance. The first
servicemen to buy NSLI did so on
Oct. 8, 1910, in the early days of the
last draft. The insurance they
bought was good for five years. It
was officially known as five year,
level premium term Insurance." and
still is.
What that means is this: You buy
the insurance at a certain premium
very low and you pay that pre-
MUM for five years. At the end OF
the five-year term the premium goes
up. The new cost is what you
would have had to pay had you been
five years older when you first
bought the insurance.
Every five years thereafter the
premium goes higher, at an increas-
ing rate-unless you convert to per-
manent insurance, in which case the
premium takes one big Jump ana
then stays the same.
Toward the end of the first flve-
year period it looked as though the
war would still be going on by
October, 1945. So Congress extended
the five-year term for another three
years.
It passed law saying that every
body who bought insurance before
January /, 1916, would be able to
operate on an eight, instead OF a
hye-year term. Anybody who
bought term insurance after jan
uary /, 1916, would be bound to the
five-year term.
The eight-year periods have been
expiring since october 8, this year,
and holders of expiring insurance
policies get a notice from their VA
branch Offices telling them they will
have to start paying an Increased
premium or drop their insurance.
Actually the VA sends out tive
notices, one 60 and the other 80 days
before the deadline.
These notices are not to be lightly
regarded. They explain the eight
year term is about over and tell the
two things you can do about 1t.
These are:
I. Start paying the new premium,
at your new age-rate, for term IN
surance. You'll pay it for five years
(the new five-year term and then
the same thing happens all over
again.
2. Convert your insurance to one
of the six permanent forms OF NSL1.
AS soon as you do that your pre-
MUM goes way up-but 1t never
goes up again. Once you have con-
verted your insurance it starts to do
a lot of things for you that term
insurance cannot do.
For instance, it starts tc build up
a cash value, against which you can
borrow cash from the government in
emergency times. Or. if you convert
to an endowment policy, 1t pays you
a set income for life after you reach
a certain age.
Term insurance can never do
these things. Term insurance Is
nothing more than protection
against your death, and the money
you pay as premiums is money down
the drain. You can never make 1t
work for you.
BY 1850 term policies will be ex-
piring at the rate of millions year,
and it will be a major operation for
the VA to keep everybody posted at
the so and 80 day periods before
expiration.
Here, briefly, is a sample Of the
change in premium rates, applied to
a man who was % when he entered
the service:
He paid $3.50 a month. His new
