Vet Training Reports
To Be Simplified
Beginning April 1

Veterans training under the CT
Bill-as we'll as their schools and
training eStablishments-will have
less paper work to do under a
simplified reporting system which
goes into effect April 1, Veterans
Administration said today.
After that date, VA no longer
will require monthly progress re-
ports for veteran trainees in job
training establishments and in
schools other than colleges and
universities. Instead, reports of con-
duct and progress will be incor-
porated in report of earnings,
which veterans now file and which
they will continue to submit to VA
every four months. 4
AS result of the new procedure,
VA field offices will process at
least 100000 fewer forms a year,
with an appreciable savings in
clerical work.
Schools below college level after
April 1 also will report veterans
progress and conduct on the VA
report of earnings. AS in the past,
colleges and universities will not
submit reports of conduct and pro-
gress, except ito notify VA in cases
of those students for whom con-
duct or progress has been unsatis-
factory.
VA emphasized that schools and
training establishments should con-
tinue to report promptly the dis
continuance of any veteran from
training.
VA urges veterans to make GER
tain the required reports of earn
ings reach the VA regional office
handling their cases before the
tenth of the month following the
date the reports are due.
Failure to submit reports in time
might result in delays in subsis-
tence checks, VA said.
The one page report is simple.

Okenah Branch of
The N.A.A.C.P.
Intercedes for Jobs

The redress committee of the
Okemth Branch of the N.A.A.CP.
consisting of ]. A. Russ, Abe Tay-
lor, c. B. Smith, Robert Harris,
M. D. Allen called on the manage
ment of the Bayless Stores for an
interview. The purpose of the in
tervieW was to secure employment
in the Bayless Stores for Negroes.
The committee met with a very
pleasant response from Mr.. Ver-
ner, general manager who listened
attentively to what the committee
had to present and promised to
take up their request with the
board of directors. He asked the
committee to call back about the
1st of April for report of his find
ings.
On the following day the same
committee called on Mr.. Guy
Bodenborn, manager of Safeway
Stores with the same purpose in
view. Mr.. Bodenborn assured the
committee that it was not the
policy of the store to practice dis
elimination with regard to en-
ployment or service and further
told the committee that applica-
ton from Colored people would be
impartially accept e d and con-
sidered.
The committee is urging quail
fled young people to place their
applications with the above named
stores as we'll as other stores in
Phoenix enjoying a large Negro
patronage. The committee said they
expected to contact other Phoenix
business places and will gladly CO.
operate with any group willing to
work to secure more and better
employment for Colored people
here in Phoenix.

COUNCIL CANDIDATE BACKED
BY WHITES AND NEGROES
East Washington
Restaurant Opens
To Mixed Trade

Not for the sole purpose of
monetary gains, has Mrs. Bengston
opened the doors of her cafe to all
citizens alike regardless of race,
but to contribute to the cause of
real democracy, she said.
Mrs. Bengston coming from parts
Of the East where race prejudice
is considered more absurd than
in Phoenix, was touched by the in
conveniences of Colored people who
are employed in the vicinity. They
would stand out side and look in
while their white co-workerS have
lunch, she said.
Mrs. Bengston commented, IT
don't feel worthy of being called
a Christian American if I am afraid
to serve any clean and upright
person who may come into my cafe
for food. That's why I am opening
my doors to Colored citizens as well
as any other citizen"
This cafe is the UN Omitted Ma
tions) Cafe located at zoos East
Washington Street which hereto
fore has been closed to Negro
patrons. Many who work in that
neighborhood had to walk 8 or
10 blocks for a sandwich at lunch
time.
Mrs. Bengston is making an eff
fort to help pave the way for a
better Phoenix, a better America
and a better world.

Texas Jimcrow Receives Its
Greatest Setback As Dallas
Certifies Neqro For Council

JimcroW received one of its
greatest jolts in the history of
Dallas when Howard Daniels, 80,
was certified to appear on the bal
lot for the municipal elections to
be held April 5.
This marks the first time that
Negro has ever sought to be a cam
didate for the City Council. The
nominating petitions for Mr..
Daniels, lifetime Dallas resident
and the branch manager of a ma
tional Negro insurance concern,
containing 347 signatures, were
filed just 80 minutes before the
midnight deadline on March 5.
An obortive attempt by reac-
tionary politicians to have the Pc
titions invalidated on the basis of
minor technalitieS was doomed by
the popular acclaim accorded Mr..
Daniels when his candidacy was
announced.
DALLAS PROGRESSIVE
PARTY leaders participated in as
suring the candidacy of Mr.. Dan
iels and in building a coalition of
Negro nd white church, business,
civic and labor leaders to engage
in a non-partisian effort to crack
through Jimcrow and elect a Ne
gro to the City Council.
Mr.. William Walters, president
of the Dallas Negro Chamber of
Commerce and Mrs. M. ISom,
white civic leader, were elected
co-chairmen of the campaign COM
mittee. Rev. Timothy M. Cham
bers, pastor of the Good st. Bap-
tist Church, was named campaign
director. Mr.. N. Williams, Negro
businessman and Mrs. Natalie Ross,
state women's director of the Pro-
gressive Party, were chosen as CO.
financial directors.
Despite the fact that both the
AFL and CIO in Dallas are tied
to the Democratic county organ
ization, "a number of labor leaders
and rank and file unionists have
already pledged support to Daniels.
SEVE r L MINISTER'S have
preached sermons from the pulpit
urging Daniels election. Appeals
form calls for shifting the tax bur-
made by Negro and white speak
ers, are receiving enthusiastic re-
sponse. At the Boil st. Baptist

To Start Alcoholics
Anonymous Colored
Group in Phoenix
BY the Chairman of
Alcoholics Anonymous

Feeling the need is great for a
Colored group in Phoenix, after
watching highly successful Colored
groups all over the country, Alco-
holics Anonymous, with 400 active
members in Phoenix and $4,000 in
the United States, feel the time is
ripe to help the Negro alcoholics
in Phoenix to arrest this recognized
disease.
We are planning meeting at
the Urban League Hall, 1885 East
Jefferson next Tuesday, April 5, at
8 pm.
This meeting is an open meeting
that is open to anyone who has a
personal drinking problem.
Curiosity seekers are not solicit
ed Anyone who is really interested
is welcome. The names of all who
attend will be kept anonymous and
all who attend will be asked not
to violate this anonymity.
If you are heavy drinker and
there is some doubt in your mind,
whether or not you are an alco-
.holic, just try to quit. So many
of us said for years, Oh I could
quit if I wanted to but I don't
want to, in the meanwhile we were
becoming progressively worse. Who
did we think we were kidding?
Look over again the 40 questions
in a recent issue of the Arizona
Sun.
Then, lets quit kidding ourselves,
don't be afraid or ashamed to admit
it! It's not your fault you are an
alcoholic any more than if you had
tuberculosis.
We in Alcoholics Anonymous
stand ready to help you. You
couldn't pay us all the money in
the world to do but we'll do it for
nothing.
