NAACP HITS BIAS OF
CITY OFFICIALS IN
COMPLAINT TO DEWEY

NEW YORK - CAMP = The
Brooklyn NAACP branch made pub
lie yesterday supplement to a
petition sent to Gov. Dewey last
April % which complained of high
handed and Illegal acts by police
against Negroes. The supplement
charged that police were upheld
and abetted in their treatment of
Negroes by Miles F. Mcdonald,
Kings county district attorney; city
magistrates and Mayor William
O'Dwyer.
Mcdonald was accused of ne
glecting to prosecute policemen for
crimes against Negroes, fascilitat-
ing the imposition of frame-ups by
police officers against Negro citi-
zens and encouraging "unreason-
able and unwarranted searches and
seizures of the persons and homes
of Negro citizens" by police. The
supplement also charged Mcdonald
so conducted grand Jury proceed
ings that Negroes charged with
crimes have been indicted but
policemen facing criminal action
from Negroes have been white
washed"
Both the city magistrates and the
mayor were charged with refusing
to act on complaints of Negroes
and disregarding evidence of Illegal
procedure.
In the original petition to the
governor, the NAACP asked an in
yestigation of the charges by the
state encouragement and an ex-
traordinary grand jury.

ASSURE USO
FOR NEGROES

Jefferson project at 18th and JET.
ferson will become USO and dor
mitory for 200 colored soldiers on
overnight passes. it was announced
yesterday by c. r. Darlington,
chairman of the Tacoma Armed
Services committee. Confirmation
of the fact that the big building
would be converted for that pur-
pose was received by Burlington in
wire from Senator Harry P. Cain
who telegraphed:
"Have just been informed that
your request for jefferson house
has been approved by the Army
general staff. The Army will inn
mediately requisition the project
from the Public Housing commits
sion following which necessary
agreements will be entered into
with the USO."
How soon the building will be
transformed into a Negro USO and
dormitory will depend on how long
it takes for the agreement to be
signed, although 1t is known, ac-
cording to Darlington, that the
national USO has already antici-
pated operation of the new unit
here.

SOUTHERN WHITE PROTESTANTS
DRIVE NEGROES TO CATHOLIC CHURCH

Chicago: Christian Century's
managing editor. Harold e. Fey,
says in August Negro Digest
that the Catholic Church is cash
ing in on the continued opposi-
ton of Southern protestants to
civil rights and attracting more
and more Negro converts to
Catholicism.
"The Popes in Rome have cajoled
and commanded American Catho-
lies to convert American Negroes
to Catholicism for over so years"
Writes DR.. Fey in an article entitled
How The Catholic Church Hopes
To Win The Negro" He then in
sists, "But for so years, the Catho-
lie Church was busy saving the
millions of Catholic immigrants to
this country for Catholicism" He
adds:
"But this phase is ended and now
the Catholic Church no longer has
any excuse for not doing as the
Pope has ordered it to do"
DIR. Fey points out in the Digest
article, that in the past twelve
years there has been practically
1000 increase in every department
of missionary endeavor by Catho-
lies among Negroes. This work in
eludes over 500 priests, % religious

photos that haze appeared in the
newspapers and magazines for
the past several months. DR..
Bunche is affable. personable and
therefore the very type of man
to have done the job that Fate
placed upon his shoulders.
AS DR.. Bunche picked up the
loud speager he prefaced his
talk with a few remarks about
the time he visited Tacoma in
1920 for r. o. T. c. to engage
in summer group training. He
also facetiously referred to the
manner he left on one of the
Alexander boats to California
as a "stowaway'. DR.. Bunche
then, swinging into his talk,
said he was not going to give
any prepared lecture but would
give an informal talk of his
part in the Palestine Affair.
He said there was nothing
magic about the settlement of
the question. The United Nations
has new weapon in its pursuit
of Pace almost as potent as
the atomic bomb. 1t is the dis
appreciation of SIS nations - now
SO since the admission of Israel.
At all times the U. N. is in full
glare and publicity of the world.
And it is the discovery that
there are no problems, no diff
ficulties between peoples, or
states, that the world today can
not settle thru the channels of
the U. N. thru discussion
and Cancellation.

DR.. Bunche, " that there is not

F. Lewis. Negro. as vendor at
Liquor store No. sS. $50 Jack
son Street. Seattle. We say with
out fear OF contradiction or dem
ial that such an appointment
was regarded by past democratic
administration as out of reason
and monumental nerve on our
part even for the asking. We
well remember our many trips
to Olympia since the inception
of the State Liquor Control
Board. talking with democratic
party officials from Governor
down. asking that qualified Ne
groes be appointed as clerks in
liquor stores. and with one ex-
ception the best we got were a
few janitors, some of whom
were called stock clerks and they
were few and far apart.
THE FEPC IN ACTION
Contrasting the record of past
democratic administrations with
that of the present republican
administration where. in addition
to Mr.. Lewis as vendor. six Ne
gro clerks are now part of
the store No. 3S personnel. work.
ing tremendously with whites.
Japanese and Chinese. pulling
together as a good team should
pull and doing commendable
job. We willingly give credit
to those who gave us the oppor-
tunity.
We have learned from our
uphill struggle for better and
fuller life, that our economics,
up to the present time, has not
been a development out of our
cultural life: rather we know
from experience that our culture
has been but a by-product of our
economic stress and pressure
When we are denied for reasons
of race and color the opportunity
to work at jobs we are qualified
to do. when we are denied
normal advancement we are like
wise denied the opportunity to
development within ourselves the
finer traits of humanity.
We compliment Governor Lam
gle and his co-workers for the
commendable things which have
been done during the first six
months of his administration
We hope his program will ex-
pand to bring the greatest good
to the greatest number. 1t is
the surest way to win our re-
spect our admiration and sup
port.
