| OFF THE CUFF
By RAY SPERBER

7 Asst week Edward J. Fritsche,
Erie township, received a letter
addressed to his father, Christian
Frederick Fritsche, who has been
dead over so years. The letter
was from a cousin who lives in
the Russian zone of Germany. Back
In 1890, Mr.. .Fritsche's father had
written to relatives in that country
and evidently the letter had been
saved all these years. The cousin
. who wrote last week states that
things are not too good" in the
Russian zone, but she didn't COM
plain too strenuously.

MOST of us are pleased that
~ Norm Willbond has signed a
one-year contract to remain as ath-
letic coach at P. c. H. S. and we
hope he'll complete the contract
rather than accept other lucrative
offers from larger schools. Will
bond has taken the rap during the
lean years when lack of materials
caused a lack of victories. Such
is the mantel coaches must bear

train or lost in the soup! Next

almost certain, too. Things are
looking up and we hope Willbond,
Carl and Jones will be here to

DOSSIBILITY that the annual
civic club athletic banquet will
be discontinued this spring was an
nounced this week. Sponsored by
the Rotary aad Kiwanis clubs and
the Chamber of Commerce, the
banquet may be eliminated in fav-
or of ceremonies. at the high school
where the athletes will be pre-
sented their awards. 1t is felt
that the spring banquet clashes
with the fall banquet sponsored by
the Downtown Coaches, and that
both "feeds" do the same job.

Mr. White further pointed out
that veterans hospitals should be
open not only to Negro patients
but Negro doctors, nurses, psy-
chiatrists, and technicians, a d
that they be taken on the basis of
ability and not skin color. He also
stated that removing Negro veter-
ans from non-segregated institu-
tions to Jim Grow hospital
which was inadequate and mac
cessible would be a hardship to
them and their families.
DIR. Montague Cobb, represent
ing the National Medical Commit
tee of the NAACP, said IF the
hospital proposed in the bill now
being considered were built il
would represent a further con-
donement OF segregation by feder-
al policy, which would take I'M
practicable time to correct"
Other organizations testifying in
opposition to the bill were: The
Negro Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION, the Fraternal Council of
Negro Churches in America, Alpha
Kappa Alpha Sorority. the Ma
tional Council of Negro Women
and the National Association of
Colored Graduate Nurses. Testi-
flying in favor of the legislation
were Senator Chapman Rever-

today he would ask Congress to per-
init their entry.
ITO send them back would be

mack asserted.
Representative Kennedy, Demo-

interested in the 20 Latvian refu-
gees who fled the iron curtain" and
asked that they be placed under
the care of responsible agencies
pending the outcome of their cases.
