Negroes never had ap-

DR.. F. L. Marcuse, professor of
psychology who assisted in the
survey, declared this question to
be significant. He said, "It is in
teresting to note that in the an
swer to the question on absence
of Negroes on the faculty, approx
imately so per cent attributed the
absences to lack of qualifications,
while responses in the next ques-
ton indicated SO pre- cent had

judgment, based on factors other
than actual credentials has been
made"

"Do you think the presence of a

comparatively and on the basis OF
competence, would contribute to
the improvement of race rela-

The NAACP branch concluded
that the main objections were the

NEW YORK - Herbert New
ton, native of Boston, died here
following a heart attack, at the
age of A. Newton became a
Communist following a siege of
racial discrimination, during his
youth. 1t meant the turning
point of his life.
Newton came Of prominent
Boston Christian family. He was
educated in the Boston public
schools, and graduated with hon
ors in engineering from North
eastern University. This was be-
fore FEPC, and Newton, in spite
of his talents, met rigid color bar
riers. Still ranking in his mind
also was the fact that, years pre-
vious, he had been barred from a
YMCA boys camp because he
was colored. At that time New
ton was typical American boy
enthused with American ideals,
and this episode nearly broke his
heart and left him bitter. AS a
result he joined the Communist
Party in 1926 to combat jim crow.
He became editor of The Liberia
tor, a paper devoted to equality
for all. He was labor organizer,
one of the first colored, for the
International Labor Defense, and
durin gthe early thirties he won
renown in Chicago's South Side
leading the Unemployed Councils
on behalf of the jobless. They
still call Ellis Park, Newton
Park.
Newton's first national and
worldwide prominence came
when in 1884 it was revealed that
his wife, the former Miss Jane
Newton, was the daughter of
John G. Emery, Grand Rapids,
Mich, banker, who in 1921 was
national commander of the Am
erican Legion. The story made

HERBERT NEWTON DIES IN new YORK
VALIANT CRUSADER FOR EQUALITY

headlines and efforts were made
to separate the young couple IN u
sensational court battle. The eff
forts to prove Jane Emery New
ton insane boomeranged upon
the authorities. The tests showed
she was brilliant and had come
of an accomplished family. She
told the court that she was the
granddaughter of a Civil War
veteran who had fought for equal
tiles. This explained her marriage
to Newton. Four children were
born of this marriage, But the
marriage was rocky and the
wealthy girl, used to many lux
uries, had. to endure hardships.
The couple, during the depression
years, suffered evictions and jail
threats but up until comparative
" recent times they weathered
the storm together.
Herbert Newton meanwhile
continued to fight for what he be-
heved was right. And while his
idealogy might have been ques-
toned, his courage was not. He
went south in 1881 to fight for
greater equalities and was one of
the atlanta Famous Six" who
served six months in Fulton
Towers on frame-up charges of
violating the Georgia insurrec-
ton laws. He suffered from the
incarceration and beatings which
shortened his life but even his
enemies realized he was man of
sincerity and ability. Shortly be-
fore his death, Newton was teach
ing radio engineering at the City
College of New York, one of the
few colored radio instructors in
the nation. 1t seemed that at long
last the young man who was
denied economic. and social equal
tiles had gained his recognition
but too late.
