Propose Additional
Filibusterers For
United States Senate

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The
proposal by Senator J. Howard
McGrath, Democrat Of Rhode Is
land, that 48 senators should be
added to the senate roster is
seen as adding at least eight
more filibusterers to the upper
legislative body. McGrath stat
ed tht voters could show how
they felt but the way their
states and national interest were
being handled if the states would
elect one of their three senators
(under this plan) every two
years for a six year term. On the
other hand, it would give a dixie
senator six full years to block
progressive legislation and fight
the democratic processes present
ed to the senate.

FINE. CAR TRACKS
Although it was not brought
out at the inquest. Thompson
told a reporter that car tracks
near where the body was found
indicated the car which took the
lynch victim to his death had
tJarned around there and had
come back to Irwilton.
Earlier, Tic sheriff had said:
I'm plumb sorry this had to
happen. I would have had it
happen for anything. 4 put that
Negro in the best cell I had. y
The sheriff said he lost his
gun at the roadhouse when he
went to the place alone to in
vestigate report that a "cut-
ting or stabbing had taken
place there. The/roadhouse, pa
tronized exclusively by Negroes,
is about five miles frVn here
near the village of Mcintyre.
TRIES TO ARREST HIM
Il went into the place and
found out this Negro, Caleb Hill
had cut somebody" he said Il
tried to arrest him but he tus-
sled with me when I brought
out my handouts. Somehow my
gun got knocked to the floor and
l could get to it Hill picked it up
and shot at me-
The Sheriff said the bullet
whizzed by him harmlessly and
that he promptly grappled with
Hill. The gun dropped to the
floor again and was missing by
the time Thatcher had Hill over
powered.
''There l was without any gum
the sheriff said. II had good
idea where it had gone because
I saw a yyoung Negro run out of
the place. l asked to borrow. a
gun and finally a Negro loaned
me his. | used the borrowed gun
to take Hill to JAIL

wake UP my wife. She sleeps
pretty sound.'
In the absence Of the sheriff,
the lynchers came to the Jail in
automobiles.
"They just walked in and found
my keys and went Up and got
the Negro, Thatcher explained.
L never expected anything like
that. The trouble was a report
had got around that the Negro
had killed me. The men were
pretty riled up and when they
didn't find me at home they
thought maybe l was dead"
RETURNS WITH GUN :. :. -
/ Several hours after the kid
mapping, the sheriff returned to
his home triumphantly bearing
his gun
"You see I had found a Negro
who admitted he knew where
the gun was" he said. This man
said he didn't take it himself
but could get it for me if I would
promise not to arrest him. We
made a deal and he got Inc the
gun. I had to let him go because

neither disturbed her nor took a

he said. 81 had had a mighty
marrow escape and I was ner-'

Meharry Needs More
Nursing Students

Although the medical and dental
schools have 10 times as many ap
plicants as they can accept. Ne

Nursing is suffering from a short.
age Of qualified applicants, Presi-
dent ". Don Clawson, declared in
his recent annual report.
Only one qualified applicant for
every opening is seeking admittance
10 the school Of nursing. he said.
President Clawson pointed out that
the Meharry nursing program was
excellent. but il needed more finan-
cial support
The school is sacrificing TO keep
the nursing program going, he re-
lated. He continued:
THE nursing school is still suf-
fering from a shortage Of students.
Medicine and dentistry enjoy 10 ap-
plicants for every place available.
Our nursing school received o n :
about one qualified applicant for
every four places available.
This necessarily increases the
cost Of nursing education to the
point where making and meeting a
budget for the school would be i'm
possible were il not for the sacrifices
made by the administration, the
medical school, and our hospital.
DR.. Clawson declared; 1T was a
serious blow when ii was related
that nursing was not TO be includ-
ed in regional financing. However.
he related that the state of Tonnes
see will continue to contribute to
Meharry on behalf of Tennessee
girls who are accepted, but private
funds or tax support must come TO
the aid Of the nursing program or
the school will have to be closed.
I'VE have contributed heavily
from endowment income to keep the
school operating anticipating tax
support. We cannot continue to dip
so deeply in endowment income in
face Of such small enrolment"

Savings Assoc Reaches
81 Million In Record Time

Los ANGELES - The Broadway
Federal Savings and Loan Associa-
ton Of this city has accomplished
the unprecedented feat for a Negro
financial institution Of attaining
total assets in excess Of 81, 000, 600
in slightly less than "a years Of
operations
The semi-annual statement Of the
Association. a federaEy chartered tn-
stitutiOn affiliated with the Federal
Home Loan Bank Beard, showed
assets Of s2O51 $3.50 on June 30.
This figure makes Broadway the
largest savings and loan association
owned and controlled by Negroes.
although one Of the very youngest.
Until now the Mutual Building and
Loan Association Of Durham, n. c.
had held the leadership.
Founded in 1916 and opened for
business in January 1s47, the comp
any, under the direction Of II. A.
Howard. president and general
manager. has forged ahead con-
stantly in its tack Of building an in
stitution that would make loans
readily available 10 Negroes for
home financing purposes. More
than 1880 900 Of the assets Of
the assets Of Broadway were out
standing in the form Of loans on
real property when this statement
was issued.
Under the stimulus Of Mr.. How
ard. other savings and loan associa-
tons operated by Negroes organized
the American Savings and Loan
League last fall and elected him its
first president. The group seeks 20
educate people to the wisdom Of US
ing these associations for their
thrift accounts, and to encourage
the formation Of this type Of finan-
ciaI institution as a worthwhile self
help venture.

Safety Pin
inventor Sold
Riqhts for Slo9

NEW YORK. One hundrc'
years ago a Brooklyn inventor got
patent for a remarkable househo'
gadget, with the result that nobod.
today remembers him, but every
body uses his product.
The man was Walter Hunt; tn
gadget was the safety pin.
Hunt never knew his Invention
may have antedated him at leas
1000 years (some say since th'
bronze age, more than 1000 years
B.C.) But nobody ever tried Il
patent it, and he was given paten'
No. 6,281.
That should have put him on easy
street-but Hunt needed money anc
within the short space OF three
hours he had conceived the idea
made a model and sold his rights
for 500.
Had Good Mind
Hunt had a good mind, but very
little practical sense" said Joseph
Nathan Kane, a writer who digs up
historical characters and brings
them back to life.
He gave his inventions away to
pay his debts, and he always owed
money"
According to Kane, one day in
1848 Hunt went to see his friend
Jonathan Chaplin. He slumped into
a chair and buried his face in his
hands.
whats the matter, Mr.. Hunt?"
Chaplin asked.
1T owe you IS dollars"
II can let you have a little more"
Chaplin said.
What good would that do? 1
can't even buy my wife a meal of
victuals."
Suddenly Hunt lifted his head.
'I have it. I'll be by this afternoon
and pay you"
Hunt hurried to his shop and rum
mayed around until he found a
piece of brass wire about eight
long. He pointed n end.
Then he bent the wire and made a
loop so that the two sides acted as
a spring. He bent the other end and
brought the point through it. He
made a right twist and looked at
he had done. 1t was a shielded
pin.
Took the 500
Then he went to see a manufac-
named Richardson, who
ooked the gadget over carefully.
"Tn give you 500 cash." he said
"AIl right" said Hunt.
"And of course you'll apply for
/ patent and assign the rights to
Zone hundred dollars" said Hunt.
Richardson peeled off 500 in
small bills. Hunt paid his friend
Chaplin, and hurried home.
Polly" he cried to his wife,
here's IS dollars. We can eat
A few months later, on April 10,
$40, the patent was issued.
This was the legal beginning Of
contrivance that has served a
thousand and one purposes.
