Young South Answers

answered the old south's taunt
with the best reply ever devised
for a stupid question.
When Grand Dragon Green of
the states khan group was permit
ted to speak before the applaud
ing state legislature, students
from the University of South
Carolina heckled the hooded gang.
AS the students began to get
the upper hand, Green fell back
on the old standby, "a Negro will
ask to marry your daughter"
Then came the pay off-the
best reply yet: "She can always
say no." the hecklers chorused in
unison. To this the ancient south
had no answer.

Nevada. Howard is said to have
been a high school teammate of
Buddy Young.
With Young, Tom Carey, of
Hampton, and Howard, the ranks
can field a backfield in which
three-quarters of the players will
be colored.

In February there were only
$50 job openings as contrasted to
1924 in January. Unemployment
compensation claimants average
owe 5000 weekly increasing 25
per cent over aJnuary and 100
per cent over December.
That Negroes are faring the
worst is evidenced by the fact
that a majority of the calls for
jobs r in the skilled class or for
typists and stenographers. These,
of course, are jobs which are ira
ditionally closed to Negroes with
the exception of token employ
ment).
Interested observers point to
these sad facts as the most telling
reason for public support of the
FEPC bill now before the Ohio
house of representatives. If the
present trend continues it may
become necessary to not only fight
for jobs for Negroes, but to pro-
tect those they now have.

Unemployment Trend
High In Nation

The general unemployment
trend in the nation (Which gov
eminent scoaamist Edgar Nourse
says is not a trend) is reflected
in the figures released by George
E. Weigold, manager of the Day
ton branch of the Ohio State EN-
ployment Service. According to
Weigold 92ee active job applica-
tons were on file at the end of
February.
This is the highest level reached
in many years. And it does not
add up to the full number of un-
employed for hundreds more are
seeking employment either pri-
vately or THROUGH agencies.
The number of Negroes in pro-
portion to the population was not
announced, but it is estimated that
it is much higher than the per-
centage of Negroes in the popula-
ton here; 1880 of the applicants
are veterans who so recently came
back to this "brave new world"

Burning Gross in
Jersey Town Stirs
Citizens TO Action

UNION, N. j., March 3. GAN
PA flaming wooden cross, five
feet high, bound in burlap and
soaked in kerosene for better
burning-planted in a school yard
in the Negro neighborhood here
recently misfired in its intent to
brighten citizens. Instead, a mill
tant group, composed of Jewish,
Christian, Negro and white, was
formed last Wednesday under the
leadership of a Baptist minister to
combat local bigotry and promote
better group relations.
Named head of the permanent
organization is the Rev. Carlton
A. Whitlach, white, pastor, of
First Baptist church.
The cross burning incident came
at a time when a meeting was
held in the school in protest
against a death. sentence given six
Negroes in Trenton for the muir
der of a furniture dealer. It was
s~ponsoreby the Progressive party.
The Rev. James William King,
leader in the Vauxhall district
where the cross was burned and
where 5000 Negroes live, said of
the incident:
"I am sure the o wasn't
burned to scare people out of
politics. The people here are
frightened. The racial tension is
acute. You see it everywhere you
turn. And there isn't a Negro any
where who doesn't have some
where in his soul the image of
the flaming cross"
Town officials and the police
chief spoohooed" the idea that
the cross burning represented any,
thing other than a prank. How
