Relief Work
Plon Is Legdl

Plans to provide relief clients
with temporary jobs in the city
to compensate for welfare pay
ments have been ruled legal by
Corporation Counsel A. C. Van
Soelen.
Under the proposal advanced by
city officials. certain jobs would be
made available to persons ITEM
porarily unemployed and ON relief
who are physically able to perform
labor as compensation for welfare
funds received"
In an opinion to the city coun-
Gil Monday, Van Soelen declared
the project legal and said persons
given such jobs would not be clas-
sified as city employees within the
civil service law.
Van Coelen was told that per-
sons given jobs under the plan
would work under the city engi-
neer's supervision, clearing street
feas. parking strips and perform
ag labor of similar nature The
work would be done at no cost to
the city.
The project would be similar to
sponsorship of certain WPA~ re-
lief work during the depression,
Van Soelen was informed. The
question involved is purely one of
policy for the city council to de-
termine, Van Soelen held.

Indict 4 Girls in
Grudge Murder of
Rivol Clique Member

CHIcAGO-fANP1-Four teen
age girls were indicted by the
grand jury here last week for the
childish grudge Staying Of Du-
Sable high school senior girl. The
four, Edwina Howard, Is and her
sister, Wilma, IA; and Evelyn and
Helen Rivers, 10 and II, respec-
lively, are charged with staying
Lavon Cain, Is.
The Staying was the climax of
high school grudge between the
deceased and the Howard sisters.
Police say the sisters had plotted
the preceding day to harm the
Cain girl because she had showed
one of them. Lavon was shot in
the back with 3S calibre revolver
near DuSable a week ago. Her
funeral services were held Satur-
day at Carter Temple CINE
church.
According to Edwina, the grudge
shooting stemmed from the ex-
istence of cliques in the school
which are constantly picking on
each other.
'The school is filled with oppos-
ing cliques that are constantly
picking at each. other" she said.
Flights at the school are started
by members of one clique calling
members of the other group vulgar
names. If you ignored them,
they would bump into you. If you
tried to defend yourself, they
would gang you"
Two years ago, a girl was hos
pitalized after she had been beaten
by a gang at the school. Although
the incident was reported to juve-
nile authorities, nothing was done
to break up the gangs.
The Rivers girls are charged
with aiding and abetting the How
ard sisters in their plot to shoot
L.avon, They We're said to have
urged the two youthful slsyers to
do the deed, Both sisters had
guns, but il was the revolver frei
by Edwina that killed I4avon.

NEW YORK. (ANP) - Tom

graph sports writer. raped the
scribe who declared in advance
that he would vote only for a
white player for the National
Leagues most valuable player
award.
In the Nov. 80 issue of Sport

Robinson won first place with
out too much help from at LEAST
one selector who was bigoted
enough during the season to open
ly announce that he would vote
only for the most valuable
WHITE player" in the National
league"
Robinson is not the first victim
of such injustice, although he is
first to be victimized because of
racial intolerance" Meany points
out Rogers Hornsby was emitted
entirely from one voters ballot in
1925 or Whereabouts when he was
either the first or second most
valuable player in the league.
Meany did not mention the big

Nehru Calls on World
ToCast Out Fear and
Bring Cold War 10 End
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of In
dia called on the world last night
to cast out fears and bring the
cold war to an end.
He said it could be done through
the teachings of Mohandas K.
Gandhi, apostle of non-violence
who lead India to independence
and then was slain.
Mr.. Neru told 1000 persons at
a public dinner in his honor that
the world is suffering from fear
complex"
Fear, he said, is a contagious
thing: "One nation gets afraid
and the: other gets afraid, and the
fear rises and makes deplorable
consequences"
Says India Is Unafraid.
Mr.. Gandhi, he said, made his
people unafraid and as a result
they could "look evil in the face"
and finally became free. Even to-
day, he said, India is unafraid-
mot. only have we. not got an
atom bomb, we rejoice in not hav-
ing an atom bomb"
India has refused to take sides
in the cold war. Mr.. Nehru said
last night that is because his
people want to be left in peace
to work our our problems"
He assured his audience that
his country will not be isolationist
that it has to play an important
role" in world affairs.
Tis trip to the United States has
been completely justified" by the
warm welcome he received in his
first eight days in this country,
Mr.. Nehru said, and by the new
understanding of American views
he will take back with him.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt in
troduced Mr.. Nehru to the au-
dience, which paid $3.50 a plate
to dine and hear him.
Might Lead to Peace.
Mrs. Roosevelt described Mr..
Nehru as a man who might help
to lead us into a period of peace
and better living" and urged
those who heard him to be am
bassadors to carry his message to
as many persons as possible"

 He said business in the Terri tory had never paid any tax.
 Earlier Capt. Lathrop had criti- cized Gruening's program and charged he had set up a dictator ship.
 Gruening told the committee Lathrop owned two banks, six theaterS, two radio stations, two newspapers, and apartment houses which never had paid any Terri torial tax. He said he also owned coal mine which had paid only nominal taxes.
