Of a 13-year-old boy.
The boy was struck by PATROL
man Borhard /. Foss on Febru-
airy 10, when Foss sought to ques-
ton him and two young compan-
ions in dark alley in the lower
business district.
Foss was suspended for 20 days
By Police Chief George D. East
man for improper handling of the
case and a patrol car officer. Pa
trolman John ]. Walsh. who went
to Foss' aid, was suspended 80
days for making a false report of
the incident.
Foss was suspended because he
failed to see that the boys were
actually taken to their homes, or
before higher police officers for
questioning, the mayor pointed
out.
Chief Eastman said Walsh and
another patrolman had driven
into the alley in police car just
after the incident, but Walsh at
first denied having been In the
vicinity. Later. Eastman said.
Walsh went back to Eastman's
office and said he had been at
the scene.
Police work is dangerous and
hazardous and an officer con-
fronted in the dark by three per-
sons cannot instantly tell their
ages the mayor said. at Is
most unfortunate the boy was
hurt. but he never should have
been In that alley.
Furthermore, and most I'm
portant, he and his companions
should not have tried to run away
from policeman. Children
should be taught that police Off
GERS are their friends and pro-
tectors."
The boy, a Negro. suffered two
loosened teeth when he was
struck by Foss, who believed the
youngster was running toward
him to assault him, according to
the findings of a police inquiry
board.

7. v. Weaver, the witness, re-

Senator Taylor is appealing a
Police Court conviction and a fine
OF $50 imposed last May 4. The
charge of disorderly conduct was
made when the senator attempt

Southern Negro Youth Congress

The senator, candidate for
Vice President on the Henry Wal

his appeal on the ground segre-

Weaver and another witness,

to push his way into the Negro

The three-hour testimony pre-
ceding the decision had dealt
with the contract between the uni
versity and the state department
Of education to provide univer-
sity instructors for students at
Kentucky State College. The pact
also provides that Negro students
could use laboratory and library
facilities at the university.
Ten witnesses testified for the
defense. many of them airing
opinions that Negroes could OBJ

dents at the university.

versity had every intention of
carrying out the contract in good

CORONET FEATURES
URBAN LEAGUE

NEW YORK; AMP )--Corone
Magazine. which has specialized
in non-stereoyped and informative
stories on the achievements of
brilliant Negroes among other
notables. has another feature in
its current April issue.
"The Answer to the Negro
Problem by Roger William Riis
OF the Crban League Is a pene-
trating document of effective
community and agency participa-
ton.
Mr.. Riis goes into great detail
to cite the long list of record
breaking achievements that have
been chalked up by the National
Urban League, which had It's be-
ginning In 1906.
"The League never thinks of it.
self as Negro organization or
as an organization working on
the Negro Problem" the author
points out. It represents the best
interests of Americans, Negro
and white. liberal and conserva-
tive, labor and management" The
The agency believes further In
the premise that when people
work side by side on a project
which matters to them. they for
get the color Of mans skin.
Relative to community progress
Riis goes down the line to pick
up the gains on the American
scene made by the league.
In Flint, Mich, 1t instituted the
hiring of the first Negro school
teachers; in Gary, two Negro doc
tors in the top hospital; In other
areas, including Minneapolis and
Grand Rapids, notable new Job
classifications for trained experts.
Riis does not make out a per-
feet case for the leagues tech
nique. He admits there have been
failures and rebuffs. However,
in terms of long-ragen effective
ness the job has been q big one
and advances stand out.
In conclusion, Riis points out
from several tried methods OF es-
tablishing the rights of minori-
ties, the league prefers to hold
out the hand of friendship. This
method, he relates. is slow but 1t
builds and grows. and makes for
bigger and better American team
work.

Businessmen Urged
To Continue Studies

A warning against throwing uf
an Iron curtain" on continued
studies in business education after
the college diploma has been re.
ceived was stressed today by DR.
George F. Zook. president OF the
American Council on Education.
Addressing the fourth confer
ence on the Negro in Business" in
the Commerce Department audi.
torium, DR.. Zook declared the evo-
luton of business is changing sc
rapidly no businessman can afforc
to sit at his desk and not continue
to educate himself in his particu-
lar field.
The business concern itself
should accept the responsibility oi
instructing its employees through
on -the-job training programs. the
educator said.
DIR. Zook told the more than 800
delegates, representing Negro busi-
ness firms throughout the country
that personality" must be COM
bined with technical skill and
character traits to make the sue
cessful businessman.
This afternoon the conference
which is sponsored by the Com
merce Department. was to discuss
investment opportunities in hous-
ing projects for Negro-operated
financial institutions and coop
erative associations. The conclud-
ing session of the four-day confer
ence tomorrow will feature success
stories by Negro owners of unusual
business establishments.
