This Thursday and Friday night

This Thursday and Friday night
the Seniors are presenting their
class play, Tiger House" in the
school auditorium. You'll find
yourself in the dog house if you
don't see Tiger House, for it's said
to be the top notch "Whodunit"
mystery of the year. Poetic pub
licity for the play was written by
a member of the class, Jewel Ku-
basek, and goes like this: "If
you should happen to hear a
scream, Or some other eerie sound,
It's just the seniors practicing, AS
the big play rolls around. The
play, of course, is Tiger House,
and it's packed just full of thrill
For between the fun and laughtel
You'll find lots of chills. So get
your ticket right away, Cause
we're sure you'll want to come,
And in return We'll give you, An
Evening packed full Of fun" .
Step lively folks, get your tickets,
and don't forget your smelling
salts; in case the excitement lays
you in the aisle.

Three Organizations
Fight Margarine Law
Ask For Senate Rereal

WASHINGTON, April 21.-(A
NP)-Three national organiza-
tons carried their fight for re-
peal of anti-margarine laws to the
the US Senate last week.
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune
Of the National Council of Negro
Women, DIR. w. H. Jernagin, of
the Fraternal Council of Negro
Churches and Mrs. Corrine Lowry
Of the National Association for
Colored Women, sent fortnight
statements last Tuesday to the
Senate Committee on agriculture
and forestry, urging the repeal of
anti-margarine laws which disad-
vantage consumers and farmers.
Mrs. Bethune declared that all
low-income consumers are affect
ed by the discriminatory taxes
which the butter interests have
kept on margarine for the last
60 years. And she pointed out
that cotton and soybean farmers
also are handicapped by these I'M
fair restrictions.
DR.. Jernagin described in his
statement how churches and 9TH
er rural institutions, as well as the
people, themselves, r disadvan-
tagged by the unfair taxes on
margarine which is a cottonseed

Thurgood Marshall
For Ohio FEPC

The highly publicized talk
dished out by Donald Richberg be-
fore the senate labor committee
in Columbus this week should en-
nance the chance of the FEPC
bills passage. The bill is now in
the senate labor committee. Hear
ings are being held on it, and it
should pass without too much diff
ficulty. The present bill is so weak
and so hamstrung with amend
ments tackled on by house reac-
tionaries that it would be political
suicide to vote against it.
Richberg was a New Dealer who
was not too bad as long as he
was working for the greatest
president since Lincoln, Franklin
D. Roosevelt. But like many Of
those who served a good cause
under FDR, he has floundered
around hopelessly since he died.
In speaking for the Ohio Cham
Der of Commerce against the pro-
posed FEPC law, Richberg raised
some absurd arguments. An
FEPC law would delve into the
motivations Of employers, he said.
1t would take a super-genius to
find out what that means, and
what everything else he said
means. We take that back, strip
ped of the garbled double-talk,
anyone al see he means that dis

elimination is a sacred heritage
which should be preserved!
Thurgood Marshall, special
counsel for the NAACP, WIS there
to answer Richberg. This he did,
splendidly.
The Dayton branch of the
Ohio Committee for a fair en-
ployment practices act in the state
has continued its program to push
the public behind the bill. Those
who have lent their time and eff
fort to get such a badly needed
bill in Ohio are to be commended.
The bill, to be sure, is not one to
rave about, buff it passes into
law-it is a step in the right di-
rection.
The bill would create a five-man
commission to investigate COM
plants by employment seekers
that they have been refused en-
.ployment by race, color, creed or
religion.

NEW ALBANY, Ind, April 10.
-(ANP)-School trustees in JEFF
fersonville and New Albany say
they don't know what to do about
Indiana's new law which rules out

is to comply with it, but the
school officials are still de-
batting the question.
Walter Rauth, president of the
Jeffersonville Board of School
Trustees said, "The board might
go ahead with it this year, but
we haven't any definite announce
ment to make at this time"
Harry r. Davidson, superinten-
dent of New Albany schools, said
last week that mo decision had
been made by the school board"
and that he had no comment.

Pleas c Completed for Axis Sally,
Jury to Get Case Tomorrow

"The soul of the black man i!
just as precious in the eyes Of
Almighty God as the wealthiest
man in this country.
Lets be absolutely fair in this
case. If you are going to crust
race prejudice so it will never
rise again you can't permit the
violation of the colored mans civil
liberties in the South, and the
Department of Justice should be
prosecuting vigorously all those
who violate them"
Mr.. Laughlin then attacked the
Department of Justice for paying
$40 day to the witnesses whom
| it brought here from Germany
some of them confessed Nazis,
while jurors are paid only SIS
day.
Questions Nazis' Word.
He reminded the jurors that
Miss Gillars is still an American
citizen and said, 1.-The word of a
Nazi should never be taken against
that of, an American citizen,
Every one knows that"
Mr.. Laughlin discussed Miss
Gillars' love for the late Prof. Otto
Koischwitz and rebuked Mr.. Kelley
for having referred to it as an
"unspeakable affair" because the
professor was married.
From the time of Sodom and
Gomorrah," the defense attorney
said, married men have been
carrying on affairs with other
women. That's wrong. but we
are dealing with human beings. .
In more serious vein, Mr.. Laugh
lin then told the jurors that tc
invoke the treason statutes
against overt acts which con-
stituted no more than speaking
words into a micpphone means
the Government is developing q
new concept Of treason.
Sees Civil Liberty at Stake.
"The right of civil liberty. of per-
sonal liberty is at stake in this
trial." Mr.. Laughlin said. If this
defendant is convicted, the right
Of free speech could not help but
be impaired.
Mr.. Laughlin rebuked Mr. Kelley
for scoff1ng at Miss Gillars' flight
from Paris when American troops
were advancing into the city and
for failing at other times to try
to escape from the Nazis.
She's only a human being and
she's a woman" Mr.. Laughlin
said. The law does not expect
"a woman to hold her ground to
such an extent that she would
have been sent away to a con-
centration camp or death. She's S
not supernatural. She's only
human"
