New York's Guard
Non Segregation.
Bill in mothbaIIs

NEW YORK, May IA. (ANP)
Although Gov. Thomas Dewey
signed a bill "for equaliety in the
Guard w ithout regard to race,
creed or COLOR, on April IL, the
measure is still being kept in moth
balls, by the states adjutant gen.
eral, it was learned here last week.
In response to many inquiries,
by Negroes and white non-mem-
bers and members Of the National
Guard, the writer visited the head
quarters of New York National
Guard at 270 Broadway to learn
what had been done in keeping
with the new non-segregation bill,
last week.
Cali that this office knows
about the bill is what we have
read in the papers, as we have
received no official orders, as yet,
from the Adjutant Generals Of
flee, as to what procedure to be
taken," was the answer from the
office.
Before any action a be taken
in the Guard, the AG must first
issue a general order to all COM
mands, in keeping with the bill as
signed by the government.
The new bill, is not a complete
answer to the end of discrimina-
ton, as it is only aimed at the
eventual elimination of segrega-
ton Of Negro and white troops
in the states national guard and
Naval Militia. It saw a stormy
time in the Legislature, before be-

Maid Shortage Over

NEW YORK, May IA. (ANP)
The maid shortage in New York
is just about over, Edward Cor
81 state labor department commits
sioner, declared this week in a
signed statement.
He said this shortage which has
been prevalent since the early
days of the War has ended be-
cause Of the rising costs of living.
Rising costs, he said, have forced
part time workers into the full
time labor market, and women not
previously in the labor force to
go to work.
Average weekly wages for maids
he said range from $40 upstate
to $35 in New York City. Hourly
wages for part time workers range
from Is cents upstate to 81 in
the city.

New Orleans Explosion
To Supreme Court
By M

By JAMES LaFOURCHE
NEW ORLEANS, May Ia. GAN
PA motion to quash an indict-
ment of three white men charged
with negligent homicide involving
the death of seven Negroes here
Feb. 10, 1916, was sustained last
week by Judge Williams J. O'Hara
of the criminal district court. The
state served notice that it would
appeal the case to the Louisiana
Supreme Court. The occasion was
the explosion in the St. Bernard
housing project attributed to faul-
ty gas pipes.
Judge O'Hara two weeks ago
told prosecutors here that the case
had dragged long enough and that
unless it was brought to trial, he
feared that it would fall by the
way of prescription. Last week
attorneys for the defendants the
two p%roprietors and a foreman, in
formed the judge that the law un-
der which their clients were charge
was ex post facto, meaning that
it was passed after the explosion
occurred.
In it's original indictment of the
three accused, the state held that
the project blast was the direct
result Of corroded gas pipes which
exploded after volumes Of gas had
accumulated.
It is feared that because of the
reputation of the defense attorn-
eys, the defendants are most like
ly to obtain their freedom. The
state prosecutors, it is alleged,
are mostly inexperience men with
little or no knowledge of handling
cases of such magnitude.
Two weeks ago, a criminal
Judge here abandoned a case
against a Negro on the grounds
that there was insufficient evil
dence to convict the man. i
The same Judge six weeks ago
told one of the assistant prose
cutors that he (the judge) was
mot going to burn his eyes out
in the library reading law while
16 assistant district attorneys run
around at the race track all day.

Negro Hospital Fourth
Project Of Brotherhood

MONTGOMERY, May IA. GA
NP)-The Rev. Father Harold
Purcell, who came here in the '30s
from New York, penniless but with
a vision, has embarked on his
fourthmajor project in hopping
over racial barriers and working
for the true brotherhood Of man.
The current project, on which bids
will be open June 1, is a 158-bed'
Negro. hospital at the priests
famed city of st. Judge.
The hospital is to cost an esti-
mated $1,5O0,OO0, two-thirds of
which represents donations Faith
err Purcell has received from all
parts of the country. The govern
ment adds the other 100000 I'M
der the Hill-Burton act.
The former editor of the Cath
Ollie publication, "The Sign" set
up his first mission and clinic
of st. Jude in a small building, and
set about the task Of securing fund
to make his dream come true.
Within four years, he had
amassed enough money to buy the
present 4O-acre site for his city.
More money rolled in to back the
building of a social center and
clinic, and finally the beautiful
church of st. Jude. In 1915, he
scraped up 100000 and started
the building of a high school for
Negroes. .
Now, at IS he wants his latest
project to be one of the finest in
stitutions of it's kind in the coun-
try, and he has designed it that
way. he hospital will be called the
Catherine Mcnamara Memorial in
honor of the late Mrs. Catherine
Mcnamara of Rapid City, S. D..
whose daughter made the first
contribution. The equipment is
to be the most modern medica

flee will be built in the shape Of
