ATTY huff WINS
ANOTHER BIG
COURT VICTORY
PRICE 10 CENTS

Johnnie Foster will not have
to return to Monroe, Quachita
Parish, Louisiana to answer to
a trumped up charge of forgery.
Foster was arrested by officers
Of the Chicago Detective Bureau
at the request Of the Louisiana
authorities. Fosters Chicago re-
satives Immediately contacted
the Chicago Branch Of the Ma
tional Association for the Adj
Eancement OF Eoiored People.
This Association promptly ne
ferred the case to Atty. William
Henry Huff, who is a member
Of it's legal redress committee,
and INSTRUCTED him to handle the
case In his own way. He did.
The first thing he did in the
case was to set in motion
tgweeping Investigation in the
Fourth Judicial District Of
Louisiana, which investigation
resulted in clearly establishing
that Foster had not forged any
checks whatsoever, but that ne
owed once, Mr.. John u. Henry,
= i9rocelyman, something like
$500 for groceries. When the
investigation was competed, Atty.
Fluff wrote the district attorney
at Monroe, Louisiana That one
cannot be eXtradited for debt,
and that he was sending copies
Of all correspondence relative to
the matter to Governor Steven
son of Illinois, in order that any
request for extradition Of John
ME Foster would be carefully
screened before Governors
Warrant would be issued.
Whereupon, the authC!itiek of
Louisiana requested the Chicago
authorities to drop the proceed
ings against Johnnie Foster.
Therefore, Johnnie Foster is a
free man and will not have to
go back to Louisiana. This is
Atty. Huff's 72nd straight ex-
tradition victory.
Foster has wife and five
children in Monroe, La, the old
est being not over 10 years of
age, who will join him here in
the near future since the cloud
has been moved from over mis-
head. Atty. Huff has advised him
to pay MI. John U. Henry the
$4,000 he owes him as such
course is right.

mocracy we should practice it.
The war, which was supposedly
fought for Democracy, has fore
ed US to think about these things.
We can no longer evade the is
slne,' declared Miss Louise
Buckley Dillingham;, head mis-
tress of Westover school here.
Miss Dillingham; announced the
chool will admit a limited MINI
Der of qualified Negro girls, and
would pick them on the same
basis. as white students. West
over is. one of the nations lead
ing boarding schools for girls.
The issue Of discrimination in
Connecticut educational system
was released exclusively by
Atlas last month, when Gov.
Chester Bowles attacked the re-
cord of the states private nom
denorlinational institutions on
this score. A bill has been intro
duced into the Connecticut legis-
lature at Hartford prohibiting
non-denominational educational
instituIions-frOm kindergarten
to graduate schools. to discrimin-
ate against an applicant because
Of race, religion Or national ORR
gin.
Speaking before the Westover
school alumni, Miss Dillingham;
stated: Il feel that a group Of
Negro girls would have Greater
chance for more initial compan-
ionship than just one. That is,
Why I advised a Negro mother
2 few years ago not to make
formal application to Westover
for ner daughter. The Negro ap-
Dlicant must have proper quail
fications, principally academic.
And must have good personal
characteristics and must be
ready to take responsibility and
participate in the whole life and
government Ct IRE school. III
'rlcrt, the Negro applicants will
be judged on the same basis as
white ones"
Miss Dillingham; stated there
has been some sentiment among
the older girls at the over the
admission of Negroes, and for
the first year, Negro girls would
be assigned to rooms together.
After next year, all girls will be
permitted to choose their mates
irrespective of race.

that the sheriff of Wilkinson
county had been killed by a Ne

this week for the kidnapping from
his jail of Negro prisoner and

tine hands, of his kidnapers.
The sheriff, George Thatcher,
who was neither killed nor
Wounded but says he was shot
at with his own gun while try
ing to quell a disturbance in a
Negro night spot, blamed a lock
on his home which was "just
about wore out" for the kidnap-
ers' Selling the prisoner. t
AWAY FROM HOME
Thatcher, whose home is ON
the first floor of a building which
has Jail cells on the second floor,
said he was away from ho1nel
when the kidnapers paid their
visit. He was out hunting for
his lost gun, he said, nd did not
learn he had lost prisoner I'M
til the following morning.
The victim was Caleb (Picky
Pie) Hill Jr., %, arrested by
Thatcher in the roadhouse where,
the tussle over the sheriff's gun
took place. Hills body was
found early Wednesday at the
side of a highway about three
miles from here, near an unin-
corporated community called
Candy Creek.
An inquest conducted by Cor
oref G. G. Thompson late Wednes-
dav returned a verdict that Hill
met death from gunshot wounds,
having been shot through the
head by hands unknown He,
had been shot twice, once in the
head and once in the left should

TWO MEN ENTER CELL
Tom Carswell, a prisoner VINO

"Come on, Picky Pie He SAID
Hill walked out without resist
ing or making any plea. Carswell
did not know whether there were
any others in the lynching party
waiting outside.
After Carswell said the two
white men had made no attempt
to conceal their features, Coron-
er Thompson asked him:
You probably couldn't identity
them if you saw them agalA'

WASHINGTON (LPA) - Evidence col
1ected by Congressional committee that
quarter of US families still get less than
$4,000 a year has put new life into the battle
for President Trumans Fair Deal program. 1t
has contributed powerful support for almost
every measure on the Presidents program.
The report drafted by the staff of the
Joint Committee on the Economic Report,
which was created under the full employment
law, will serve as a campaign textbook In
next years Congressional elections. 1t will be
a major reference book in all future debates
on Fair Deal measures in Congress
This evidence of low incomes of many
American families takes the ground out from
under many of the arguments made by oppo-
nents of the Presidents program. 1t is devas-
tating proof for instance, that the alterna-
tives proposed for national health insurance
are unrealistic and unworkable.
Senator Robert A. Taft has been contend
ing that national health insurance is unneces-
sary because so per cent of the American peo-
pie are able to pay their own doctors bllls
without help from the government He has
proposed meeting the medical problem by
providing charity" medicine for the families
at the bottom of the income scale.
With 10000, 900 families making less than
$4,000 a year, and therefore obviously unable
to meet the high cost of modern medical
care, Tafts approach would cost the govern
ment billions of dollars year without reach
ing many of the families that also need bet
ter way to pay for their doctor and hospital
bills.
The American Medical Association admit
ted 10 years ago that families making less
than $4,000 year faced disaster in meeting
the costs of serious illness. That figure, ad-
justed to the higher cost OF living, is now
about $4,000 The joint committee report shows
about 30 000, 900 out of the 38, 900 fami-
lies in the United States are now in that cate
CORY.
The ANA and its supporters in Congress
have proposed voluntary health insurance as
an alternative to national health insurance.
But the recent Congressional report shows
that the cost of voluntary health insurance
Is way out of the reach of millions of Ameri-
can families, quite aside from its other made
auacies, such as limited coverage.
The Presidents compulsory health insur-
ance program, on the other hand, would cover
almost all of these low income families at
cost based on their ability to pay. They

DISING from bountiful holiday tables,
IL Americans may we'll pause to remember
the shocking fact that "for more than half OF
the world, the old chronic undernourishment
continues and hunger is scarcely one meal
away from millions For the world as whole,
per person food supplies are not as good as
ten years ago-before the war"
This situation exists, Director-General Nor
ris F. Dodd told the fifth session of the Food
& Agriculture Organization of the United Ma
tions in Washington, at the same time that
the United States talks about curtailing pro-
duction of pork, potatoes, eggs, dried fruits,
cotton, fats and oils,
Will the world again be helpless when
faced with the insane situation where the
men, women and children who were well fed
before the war are even better off today and
those who were hungry ten years ago are even
hungrier now?
This United Nations agency, in which So
nations (though not the Soviet Union) par
ticipate has before II at its Washington meet

getting the Surpluses from the United States
and other parts of the western hemisphere
which are plagued" with too much food,
to the scarce areas.
An international commodity clearing
house is being proposed AS Dodds, former
US Agriculture Dept official, explains it.
There are actual or threatened food surpluses
only because lot of the worlds people do not
have the right kind of currency, under todays
conditions, to buy what they need. The pur-
pose of the clearing house would be to bridge
this currency gap between areas of surplus
and areas of need"
The proposed clearing house would be
like public corporation Dodds says, with
substantial capital contributed by participat-
ing countries 1t would buy surplus commodi-
ties offered by the producing countries" These
goods would then be offered for resale to the
food-hungry countries the payment to be in
convertible currency in the buying coun-

The Senator Speoks Up

THE ISSUE OF PENSIONS AND so
l. CIAL SECURITY for the American
people is getting so hot that even Senator
Taft finds it politically expedient to say
something about it. This of course, is not
unexpected The Senior Senator from
Ohio is not one to dilly-dally around in
aimless procrastination when there is a
possible threat to the fabulous incomes Of
his wealthy friends.
In recent speech the Senator did two
things
/. He asked a question--and by i'm
plication at least answered il for himself
Ito the effect that if steel workers and
auto workers are entitled to pensions, why
not the walters and other similarly en-
ployed persons?
2. He suggested Congressional in
vestigation into the problem of pensions
and social security benefits
With respect to the Senator's ques-
tons, we agree with him. Certainly the
walters and the garage mechanics and
everyone else are all entitled to decent
pensions and social security benefits
Nor do we object to a Congressional
investigation. The sooner the better.
Through such an investigation even some
OF our senators and representatives might
see the light and come to the conclusion
that the establishment of decent pensions
and social security is something very de-
sirable and very badly needed by our
people. Who knows, after such an in
vestigation these gentlemen might even
do something to effectuate such a pro-
gram.
However this is not the end of this
story. II the Senior Senator from Ohio
thinks that the drive for our Pension and
