Clubs Warned Against
Mailing Bingo and
Lottery Notices

Mailing of notices advertising
bling games and accumulated
jackpot drawings, in violation OF
postal statutes, has increased In
this area, Emery T. Ringstad, as
sistant postmaster, has reported.
Ringstad said many door-prize
drawings and bingo games have
been advertised in communica-
lions or publications mailed from
clubs to their members.
'Bingo' is understood to in
volve the distribution of prizes by
means of chance, according to the
third assistant postmaster gener-
al" Ringstad said. Therefore,
IL it Is necessary to pay a fee of
any kind in order to take part in
the game, the scheme is regarded
as lottery"
Thus, Ringstad pointed out,
postcards publishing such
schemes are held to be nonmail-
able under postal regulations,
In other rulings of the Post
office Department. the necessity
of any valuable consideration in
order to benefit from a drawing
even the necessary presence Of
participant - is considered by
the department to make an adyer-
tisement of the drawing non-mail-
able, Ringstad added.

Mrs. Bolton succeeded in making
the assembled lawmakers reflect
upon their responsibilities and
particularly upon their patriotic
duties more seriously than many
speakers had done in much long
er speeches.
In obvious reference to the
grave and ominous affairs Of the
nation and the whole world to-
day. and to similarly greivous
time in onr national history re-
called by the anniversary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln, she re-
marked:
1T never comes amiss for us
to refresh our memories and per-
haps clarity our thinking by re-
calling words once spoken by
such men as Abraham Lincoln. 2
Mrs. Bolton then read most
earnestly and impressively the fol-
lowing 10 admonitions Mr.. Lin
coin had offered at various times
concerning the conduct of govern
ment in accordance with the dig
nifty of men:
you cannot bring about pros
perity by discouraging thrift"
You cannot strengthen the
weak by weakening the strong. .
You cannot help strong men
by tearing down big men,"
you cannot help the wage
Garner by pulling down the wage
payer.
you cannot further the broth
erhood OF man by encouraging
class hatred"
You cannot help the poor by
destroying the RICH"
You cannot establish sound Sc
curity on borrowed money"
You cannot keep out of trou-
Bile by spending more than you

SUCCESS OF N. Y.
BAN TOLD HERE

Four years of successful func-
tioning of a law prohibiting racial
or religious discrimination in en-
ployment is bringing about
changing pattern in employment
in New York State, an official
of that state said here.
Henry Spitz, general counsel to
the New York Commission
Against Dissemination said fears
that were expressed prior to
passage of the law have dissi-
pated and there is a marked
willingness to accept the statute.
There has been no customer
resistance and no employee re-
sistance." SPITE stated. There
has been no attack on the laws
constitutionaiity. No business
have left the state.
Business firms and industrial
plants generally are law-abiding.
and when the law was put on
the books they started complying.
The law probably has affected
hundreds of thousands of work
ers. 1t permits any person to
gain employment at the highest
level of his skill.
Employers are still free to
set up job qualifications. but the
qualifications must apply to all
persons and may not be qualifi-
cations regarding color, religion,
place of birth or ancestry. The
result is that members of minor
ity groups are finding jobs for
the first time at their proper
level
Mr.. Spitz addressed meeting
here at the Chamber of Com
merce sponsored by the Washing
ton State Committee Against Dis
elimination in Employment, pro-
ponents of state measure sim
liar to the New York law. He
was guest at a luncheon at the
Washington Athletic Club sponsor
ed by Civic Unity Committee.

NEGRO POLICE ON
FULL-TIME DRIVE
AGAINST CRIME WAVE

CHICAGO, - (ANP) = The
cream of Chicago's Negro police
men = Sgt. Robert Harness and
20 detectives were ordered to
full time duty in the Wabash
avenue Pekin Inn and Stanton
avenue police districts here Thurs
day, to combat the wave of MUIR
ders, robberies and burglaries in
the three areas.
Main reason for this action by
Chief of Detectives Timothy o.
Conner stems from the murder
of the second Bowman Dairy
company driver in the area within
IL days.
Three squads, two from hom-
icide and one from the robbery
detail, have been sent into the
area to look for the murders of
John Bahr, So, white, who was
shot to death only IL days after
Fred FRANKIE. SO. also white. was
killed. The alleged slayers OF
FRANKIE, three teen-ag Negro boys.
are now in custody.
Some 20 suspects, most OF them
dope addicts, were picked up In
the Wabash avenue district for
the latest crime, but police say
they had nothing to indicate that
the culprits were among them.
Meanwhile the Chicago Urban
League and John Duzansky, presi-
dent of the Association Milk Deal.
ers, Inc. called upon Police Com
missioner Prendegast to give "in-
creased police protection" in the
area.
Police records show that of 325
murders commicted in Chicago
last year, 40 were in these three
districts. Five of the 140 murders

Dizzy Gillespie
Hit Jackpot in N. Y.

Dizzy Gillespie, who comes to
Seattle's Senator Ballroom this
Saturday night only, is more than
great trumpet player he's
a new cult in himself. Disciple
of Dizzy's new way of interpreting
jazz are springing up everywhere
but like many other new person
alities he was first discovered in
New York.
First Lionel Hampton used him
to strengthen his Carnegie Hall
concert. He featured Dizzy for a
couple of solo numbers. Then an
organization called the New Jazz
Foundation chose Dizzy as a
young man who has made a
tremendous contribution to con-
temporary music" and built a con-
cert around him at Town Hall.
There were enough Gillespie de-
voices In New York to fill the
place to capacity.
Gillespie's trumpeting features
lingering and interpretations that
are revolutionary in jazz. Hep
fans, quick to recognize this,
have made him a new idol.
AS a result of this tremendous
interest, a band was build around
Gillespie. Those who have heard
the crew agree it is one of the
most promising of the new crop
of dance oTchestras.

THE COMMUNIST
WAR ON
CIVILIZATION

In what appears to be prepa-
ration for war, Soviet Russia has
ordered its puppet Communist
parties in more than sixty ma
tons Of the world to resume
the old program of ARMED Re-
volution' by Force and Vol
ence."
The instruction can hardly be
miseonstrued.
1t was issued in Moscow in an
article published by "Bolshevik'
the official organ of the Central
Committee of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union.
The author of the article. E.
Burdzhalov, quotes Prime Min
lister Stain as saying that politi-
cal activities by Communists are
merely a school for organizing
the masses" for the final RE
evolutionary Struggles"
The new directive is definitely
described as "a turn to the or
iginal feminist doctrine" and of
course it makes the history of
the Communist Party of Soviet
Russia" a textbook on violence,
once more the handbook of Com
munism everywhere.
"Mass struggles" and general
strikes" are prescribed anew as
preludes to the eventual over
throw of the Capitalist system"
Burdzhalov writes:
1.-THE general laws of shift from
capitalism to socialism. uncovered
by Marx and Engels. checked,
made more concrete and devel-
oped by Lenin and Stain on the
basis OF the experience of the
Bolsheyik Party and the Soviet
Government, are obligatory for
all countries"
Moreover, the "class war" is
proclaimed against Socialists as
well as the "bourgeoisle'
Combined as it is with Soviet
Russia's immense militarism, and
it's enormous territorial gains in
Europe and Asia, the communist
reversion to lawlessness and in
surrection as doctrinal commands
threatens all civilization with dis
aster.
1t means that, when or if
Soviet Russia chooses to start
the third world war, the defens-
i've actions of all Communist
countries will be sabotaged from
within.
For every Communist is re-
quired to hold allegiance only
to Russia and to become a trail
tor to his own land in any
controversy or conflict with Rus
STA.
This unmistakable declaration
should end completely any idea
] that there can be collaboration
for peace with the Soviet Union.
World conquest and world Com
munism are Soviet Russia's sole
purpose and policy.
Revolution is one of its two
major weapons. the other being
Communist militarism.
More than ever before does
America need to speed its de-
Tense system, to adopt imme-
diately universal military service.
and to get every Communist
lackey out of the public service

BANK OF AMERICA
HIRES 2 NEGROES

BY Harry Levette
Los ANGELES - (ANP) -
The Bank of America, this ma
tons largest bank, has hired
two negro workers. but is object
ing to the publicity given the
incident by west coast Negro
newspapers.
The two new employees are
Miss Grace Cooper and Charles
II. Carpenter. Both work at the
branch at 18th and Central Ave.
Miss Cooper is working as
clerk-typist in training for a post
as safe deposit clerk. Carpenter
Is serving as a bookkeeper lead
ind up to an eventual bank tel
ler's position.
Expressing the banks alarm
over the publicity, an official
said:
I'VE do not care to make an
issue of the fact that we have
employed our first two colored
members of the clerical staff. We
did so just in the line of our
customary procedure of making
changes. We do not want this
employment to be treated as a
very unusual matter. II the two
persons we employed had not been
found eligible we would not have
hired them regardless of their
race"
Many citizens agreed with the
bank officials views. Some con-
sidered their action merely ano-
Their step towards making demo
cracy a reality here.
Although recently the Independ-
ent Progressive party and Sidney
Moore, its unsuccessful candidate
for congress, were very active in
the drive for Negro workers at
the bank, no one group can take
credit for the change.
Officials have also conferred
for years with the local Urban
League, the. NAACP, and other
civic groups. They said IL Miss
Cooper and Carpenter make good,
they expect to hire more colored
workers.
= The main reason for not hiring
colored workers in the past, of
ficials said, was the feeling that
there were none qualified to be
broken into the Bank of Americas
particular routines and techniques
except under long training periods.
Miss Cooper, native Of Texas,
is graduate of Wilberforce uni
versity, and is now studying for
masters degree at UCLA.
Carpenter is from Mississippi.
He is now studying at Los An
geles City college.
The hiring of Negro workers
climaxes a steady campaign be-
gun back in 1925 when local lead
ers tried to get the dominant
Bank of Italy to employ Negroes.
They humbled themselves to ask
for jobs for Negroes even as
janitors, but the bank answered
why did they seek jobs as an
itors. 1t said If they had asked
for white collar positions it would
have thought more of them.
Since then constant campaigns
have continued without success
to get clerical positions for Ne
groes in Los Angeles banks.
