SUPERB

NEW YORK - (ANP) - The Sc.
Louis Chain gang baseball uprising
that served to spoil the major league
debut of towering Donald Newcombe
fails to leave me cold to what to-
morrow may hold in store for hing.
Newcombe, according to allwe've
read for we were not in st. Louis
that evening, had plenty of good
stuff as ballplayers say out there
on the mound despite his being sent
to the showers. The rifle shots that
famed Cardinal Deering served to
set thousands of colored fans in the
park of southern democracy bowling
like a tiger sick with a toothache.
For an alleged 'sore-arm-pitcher,
the foot 4 inch 240 FOUNDER bore
down with speed reminiscent of Eel
Ter or Satch Paige at their best!
'Tis true that shortly thereafter
the st. Louis rangefinders managed
to put some wood on the leather
pellet Newcombe sped platewards
and finally caused Burt Shotten to
thumb the free speaking" big boy
to the confines of the clubhouse.
REMEMBER DAN BANKHEAD
Seems more than paradoXical to
me that of the two Negro mound
specialists to break into major
company dan Bankhead was the
other the experiences should differ
but slightly. No one should be fault
ed for these queer happenings but
the athletes themselves. Had Bank
head or Don Newcombe whipped
out low-hitter or even a shutout
victory their admirers would have
been quick to point out the extra
greatness of play in the once-des-
pissed Negro baseball circuits =.
Personally, / would have peferred
, seeing Donald start in any spot
other than st. Louis. Knowing the
lads temperament Gust another
word for temper), / feel that in his
case this could have possibly d / d
not added up to a sulking perfor-
nance. Like in talks about V.D.
(venereal diseases), 1 see no point
in not speaking frankly and forth
if Newcombe is to be saved-from-
himself He sulks and he'll fight in
flash, but, he can pitch like big
Lacquer in my estimation.

THE COWARDlCE OF TREASON
by Ruth Toyior

If you have read any of the mony books recently
issued which have exposed the work Of subverse groups
and enemy ogents in this country you have wondered
have l. at the mentality Of these workers against
America, ond have puzzled over whot qurk in their
brains drove them into reasonable movements and &C.
tivities
1t hard for those of us who love America and who
believe in the democratic way Of life, who stepped
in the traditions of Loyalty and fair poy to understand
how American men and women OF even ordinary lneIg-
could foil for the coptrop sophistries of subver
sion and it's obsub theories 1t all sounds like fig
ment of childish imagination
According to our temperament, these ont-Amercons
have fingered unused We have coled them either
trotors demanding their complete eradication or fools
regarding them with contemptuous amusement Whom
the gods would destroy they first moke mod we said
derision
But we hove overlooked the one thing they undeni-
obIy are cowards Afroid TO face life. unobe to meet
the dolly competition eoch of have to encounter
thew have INDUCED the deody dissipation OF self pity
which is more potent drug thon any drink or dope
known to physical degenerotes.
Thew hove SOUGHT obis for their failure in life They
hove souoht to make themselves big in society of their
own mokno They could not face the truth they mode
I'M lies TO excuse themselves and coled them facts.
Thew surrounded themselves with porosites each intent
ON nroisino the other like the the Jungle Book
And some Americans who should have known better have
token odvortooe of those little people, fotterna them
in homes of Getting the political votes they thought
these pressure groups could command
Thew are cowords all woud-be tyronts.
There never was despot yet who free from fear,
vbo dored to walk unauorded to face the mob olone
ONLY a fearless man dare allow freedom to on oppon-
emf ONLY fearless dare Dloy foir Only man who

SOMETHING ABOUT THE REMOVED OF RENT
CONTROL

According to reports committee of IocoI rentoI
property has been organized here for the
of erecting and using its influence to bring about the
movol of rent control in accordance with the recent
changes in the rent control low made by the Congress of
the United States.
from the very beginning one is move to pity the To-
col renters both White ond Negro who will never be
oble to form organization whose influence will be-
mode, or can be mode to equal that of such oroup
The main purpose behind the organization of the
committee to be thot of obtonino an increase in
the present rent rates Some members of the committee
according to reports, having already mode PLEDGE not
TO increase the rents thon fifteen per cent
Already the Negro worker in Jackson whose soIoy
etots from base of forty cents Der hour and is seldom
niue hmore and even sometimes less, in poyinq in some
case nearly half hi weekly salary for rent Especially in
some OF the units where rental of $40 per week and
some times is being charged for one fomy units
The cost OF the rent not including the cost of voter
light and other utilities
Under the present conditions and according to fu-
ture indications in economic trends it appears now
TO be only matter of how long most of these who ore
living in rented houses will be obe to continue to
poy the present rentals to say nothing of fifteen Der
cent increase.
They say depression comes from the drying up of
of the of money which keep olive business oct-

Jurors Ask New
Trial For Negro

Philadelphia, Penn. - Ten of
the twelve jurors who convicted
Bayard Jenkins, a Negro youth,
for murder of Mrs. Kathryn Mel
Ter last November %, have ask
ed the court for a new trial.
This almost unprecedented
break in the campaign to free
the 10 yea rold victim of what
has been labeled police frame
up, was revealed when personal
letters from each of the ten jur-
ors, including the foreman. were
presented to Judge Frank Smith,
the presiding Judge, who is now
considering Jenkins plea for a
new trial.
All the jurors based their plea
for Jenkins on new evidence UNI
covered after they had convicted
the youth of murder last June 8,
on the sole evidence of a re-
pudiated confession" which Jen-
kins charged police forced from
him.
The new evidence centered a.
round confession. to the murder
two weeks after the trial by
Hebcrt Gulembo, white grave dig
ger. Gulembo later repudiated his
confession, but powerful evidence
corroberating it was unearthed
by the Pennsylvania Worker.

ITS GOOD TO THE ONES WHO
BELIEVE"


The people claim part in
Christ,
And yet they are living wrong,
Living above their means every
where,
Now trying to buy them home.
No need to try to pay for a home,
And keep living above our
means,
When you can only make one
payment down
You are splitting all of your
beams.
You cannot pay doctors bill,
How can you pay for a home,
Living above your means every
day,
And the clothes you wear you
don't own.
You are polking fun at the right
life,
You say they are dumb also.
And yet you cannot pay your
debts,
No where you live or go.
Poor people are trying a near
way out
Yet living above their means.
Trying to initiate the rich mans
home,
With all hi window screens.
You claim you own a part in
Christ,
And owe every body you can,
And you will not pay an honest
debt.
How can you expect to stand.
Do you believe Gods pure word,
If so it is time to stop.
And plant good seeds in good
land,
And then you will make the right
crop.
You are sowing your seeds in
night spots,
And the gambling dens the same,
Your family trying to pay your
debts.
And living in a strain.
You have lived above your means,
So now the sum has gone down,
: You have spent your life with
the underworld.
And for this you will have no
crown.
May God bless your dear family,
That you have left here in dis.
tresS.
Since you have to spend all OF
| life.
