The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-10-25
BY Jimime N. Jones

Once again, the halls of the
U. S. Federal Courts were damned
with wives, mothers, relatives and
spectators who listened with tears
and anxiety to the stern voice Of
Federal Judge Robert R. Nevins
as he levied sentences ranging
from one year and a day to three
years and fines of $50 to those
pleading guilty to illegal traffic of
narcotics, and the boosting of
bonds from $4,000 to $4,000 for
those entering pleas of not guilty.
Despite the eloquent pleas for
the defendants by attorneys ap-
pointed by the court for those who
had n money for legal talent and
who stressed to the court, some
of the circumstances by which their
clients had become victims of the
dope habit, the Court reserved no
mercy and sent six of Daytons
West Side dope Kings" to the
various U. S. Prisons to serve out
the sentences imposed.
Many were the heart rendering
scenes witnessed in the capacity
packed room that housed the rela-
tives and spectators who heard the
Court sentence the following de-
PENDANTS: Charles Goode, "a, of
722 W. Fifth st., and Marion Jor-
dan, "a, of 2519 Germantown st,

FEPC Or Else
wilkins Asserts

NORFOLK, - In fight
ing mood, Roy Wilkins, acting MA
ACP secretary, challenged cong
ressional opponents of civil rights
legislation in an address deliver
here tonight at the closing session
Of the fourteenth annual meeting
of the Virginia State Conference
of NAACP branches.
"The officeholders and politi-
clans of both parties are making
q great mistake if they think Me-
gro voters will take the side-track-
ing of the civil rights program
lying down." he said. "There must
be action on federal fair employ
ment PRACTICE legislation and other
civil rights bills as the first order
Of business in Congress next Janu-
airy or we will act next Novem-
ber."
Sunless some congressman and
senators work and vote for this
legislation in January they may
never get a chance to work on any
legislation in the 82nd Congress.
They can call this a threat, or any
thing else they choose. Negroes
have been patient, but they are
through with em>pt promises,
broken pledges and slick tricks.
We want FEPC or else we will cut
short some political careers"

Negro Scouts
Ask Aid For
White Prisoner

ROCKY MOUNT, N. C:(ANP)
A group of Negro Boy Scouts here
have written the governor asking
his help in behalf of a white boy
convicted of assault and sentenced
to II years in prison.
In their letter, the scouts stated
that the racial identity Of the boy
did not matter: they felt that the
judge should not have given such
a long sentence. They requested
that he be sent to a training
school.
State Paroles Commissioner
Jones wrote the group that a
thorough investigation was being
made, since their request had been
sent to him by the governor.

Cincinnati is sometimes known

that statement. For the Queen

point of being forced to move to
the rear of buses, or to the Jim

This practice was supposed to
have been stopped when Mrs.
Irene Morgan won a famous Su-
preme Court decision several years
ago. Mrs. Morgan sued a railroad
for Jim Growing her during in
terstate travel. The decision was
hailed as a body blow at the ugly,

Cotton
Denied Right
To Picket

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, (AT-
Lass Charges that local and
county authorities in Kings
County, California are denying
striking cotton pickers the right
to picket, were made last week by
H. l.. Mitchell, president of the A.
FL National Farm Labor Union.
Local Farm Union organizer,
Ernesto Galarba, wired American
Civil Liberties asking for aid in
combating illegal activities. His
request was referred to ACLU'c
Southern California branch.
More than 10000 workers., pro-
testing wage reductions of one
dollar a day, walked off their jobs
on September 18th. Caravans of
"Jaloples," carrying 1000 plckets,
have been circulating through
CALIFORNIA; Central Valley, urging
non-union pickets to support the
strike.
Mitchell reported that one car
AVIAN had denied entry to the
town Of Corcoran, and in neighbor-
ing Tulare County, authorities
quickly passed an ordnance, prohi-
biting the use of loud speakers in
the area. William G.. Trafton,
Farm Labor Union organizer, was
arrested for violating the ordnance
but was released on bail.

Segregation Case
n Cincinnati

not stop the practice in fact.
!, Now, another suit is taking
place in cincinnati. The United
States District Court in Paducah,
KY, decided against Miss Eliza
beth Whitside in her suit against
the Southern Bun Lines. An appeal
was argued this week before the
Circuit Court of Appeals by at
torneys for the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of
Colored People.
Miss Whiteside was forcibly
elected from a bus enroute from
st. Louis to Paducah, KY, when
she refused to move to the rear.
The District Court held that the
regulation Of the bus company re-
curing Negroes to sit in the rear
was a reasonable regulation. and
that Miss Whiteside's refusal to
comply was reasonable grounds for
her removal from the bus.
In the appeal NAACP attorneys
maintained that the company's re-
gulation was unreasonable and
could not be enforced by either
federal or state agencies without
violating the constitutional rights
of the plaintiff.
The case was argued by NAACP
assistant special counsel Robert L.
Carter and Martin A.. Martin Of
Richmond, Va. Joseph Freeland
argued the case in the lower
court, on behalf of the Paducah
branch of the NAACP.
It is the consistent fight of
many NAACP branches like that in
Paducah which point up the nee
essity for more and more persons
joining up in the NAACP.
