uel Green, grand dragon Of. the
Ku Klux Khan in a private inter-
view with Roi Ottley, a represen-

ice. The Ku Kluxer made it quite
clear that he would never ac-

In reply to Ottley's question on

All through the interview, the
grand dragon referred to Negro
people as ringers" or "darkies'
according to Ottley.
He told the newspaperman that
he would be willing to bet that
the next racial disturbances
would take place in Detroit, Chi
cage or East ST. Louis, Ill. He
would not give specific reasons
for his prediction.
Although Green gave Ottley an
interview which lasted almost
two hours, he refused to have a
picture made with the Negro
newsman, because he said, "people
would misunderstand".
During the entire interview,

Everyone has ''blond pressure.
the pressure of the blood pro-

blood throughout the body. Blood
pressure, varies normally up and
down, rising when a person is ac-

will often ward off the serious

ALABAMA BAR

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 14.-
The latest move by the Alabama
State Bar Association in admitting
Negroes to the bar group with ex-
animation will be to oppose court
action by four Negro applicants,
it was disclosed here last week.
The applicants, Manley E..
Banks, Clarence E. Moses, Henry
c. Moss and Henry L. Pearson,
applied to the associations board
Of bar commissioners some time
ago for permits to practice in the
state. The board notified them
they would receive a hearing on
October 6. The four asked the
state supreme court to force the
bar group to grant them licenses.
The case is to be heard about De-
cember 20.
Under the state law, only grad
yates of the University of Ala

Firemen Attack
Rail Union
Discrimination

MACON, Ga. - Twenty Negro
firemen asked Federal court at
Macon Monday to bar the Brother
hood Of Locomotive fireman and
engineers from representing Ne
groes until discrimination in the
Union is ended.
The suit also was directed at
the Central Of Georgia Railroad.
The firemen contend the railroad
entered an illegal agreement
with the union to eliminate all
Negro firemen.
The firemen allege they were
fired from the railroad because
of race and that the jobs were
given to white workers with less
seniority.
The suit. which was filed this
afternoon, claims that it is inn
possible for Negro firemen to adj
vance to the job of engineer.
The petition asked Federal Court
to declare invalid the agreements
between the railroad and the union
and to issue permanent injunc-
tion against such agreement.
The firemen asked the court to
order their reinstatement to their
jobs with full seniority.
In addition to asking that the
union be barred from representing
Negroes in collective bargaining
until discrimination is stopped, the
suit also seeks damages for loss
of employment and wages.
Carl Flowers, general chairman
of the union for the Central of
Georgia and local union officials
were named specifically along
with the railroad and the Macon
Lodge of the Brotherhood. They
nave 20 days in which to file an
answer.

OSLO. Norway, Feb. 3.-For-

the deciding factor on any step
she takes about joining a de-
fense alliance.
The question won't be decided, he
said. on what other nations want us
to do or not to do"
He added Norway will have to
make further investigations" before
making up its mind on whether 1t
wants an invitation to join in dis
cussions of a proposed Atlantic al
lance of Western powers.
Mr.. Lange put in a sharp attack,
too, on Norwegian Communists, who,
he said, were giving wrong informa-
ton about Norway's politics to Mos
COW.
His discussion before Parliament
today followed an exchange of notes
between the Russian and Norweg-
ian governments on the Atlantic
pact last week end.
Aggressive Step Charged.
Russia asked how Norway felt
about the pact, which would link
the defenses of the United States,
Canada, Britain. France, Belgium,
Holland, Luxembourg and possibly
other Western European countries.
Russia branded the proposal an
aggressive maneuver. especially by
the United States and Britain. She
noted that Russia and Norway have
common boundary and wanted to
know If Norway planned on grant,
ing military bases on her soil to
/ foreign powers
Norway replied firmly she intends
looking into the possibility of tying
up with the Atlantic alliance, noting
that she is a maritime nation
bordering on the Atlantic. She said
she would not grant bases to foreign
powers unless she is attacked or
threatened with aggression. Norway
added that concern for her security
convinced her of the need to seek
increased safety through regional
defensive cooperation
Mr.. Lange did not refer to the
Russian note today.
Various groups in Parliament
with the exception of the Com
munists-Supported the government
plan to give further study to the
Atlantic pact idea. Several speakers
said not too much time should be
lost through such an investigation
Gn Moscow. Pravda dispatches
from Oslo said trade unions in
Norway had joined in extensive
protests against Norway taking
part in the Atlantic alliance.
Union meetings in Stavanger,
LillenStrom and ProSgrunn,
Pravda said, demanded an end
to foreign policy which drags
Norway into an imperialist war
bloc
Parliament defeated by great ma
jority Communist proposal, ad-
vanced after Mr.. Lange spoke, that
the Assembly postpone debate on
failure of the Scandinavian defense
talks. The Communist aim appar-
emily was to delay approval of the
governments policy.
