ROBINSON LEADS
MARSHALL OVER
MONROE 100
BY IirnnY Grlffln

Bob Robinson's three-yard off
tackle slant and his 12-yard end
run for two touchdowns Monday
night were the only two tbs
made in the game between Mar
shan and Monroe, giving Marshall
the win.
Leo Lewis, Otis Carson, Russ
Robert and Kelly played their
usual stellar games in the back
field for the Greyhounds. Lewis
was a consistent gamer all eve
ming.
Reggie Combs, Sterling Owens
and Ben zachery also played their
stubborn defensive and hard
charging offensive game in the
Hounds forward wall.
At one time there were eight
colored players of the IL for
Marshall on the field. The Red
and Grey also have had an all
sepia baclSfield.
This week, johnson knocked
over Mechanics 1872. Gene White,
Joe Ray and Bob Larry were in
the lineup for the Blue and
White, but the Governors were a
little too tough for the trainers.
Central, with its one sepia
back, Gene Harris, was the victor
over Humboldt, 1870.
In the Municipal league, Ted
Bies, the old Halle Senior team,
finally hit pay dirt as they defeat
ed the defending Champs TO.
Jimmy Edison recovered a blocked
punt in the end zone of a It'd. and
Culver added the extra point with
a perfect placed kick.

kite" Safro was groggy after
this but did not lose his faith in
human nature.
Enough was enough however
on Oct. IL, when a armed man
came in his store and demanded
the money from the cash register.
Safro and his wife were alone in
the store.
Safro started to use the gun
which he kept handy for such
visitors but then he thought-he
told this paper, II might kill the
poor fool or be killed myself. All
he's getting is some money and
sooner or later he'll get his from
someone else"
The rObber escaped and while
he was climbing into a waiting
car SafrO had plenty Of time to
shoot at him.
The liquor store dealer Is
philosophical but also wonders
when enough will be enough.
Meanwhile his large group of reg
ular customers built up by years
Of friendly service in the vicinity
are full Of sympathy for Safro
who is popular both with them,
and much too popular with check
artists and hold-up men.

RANKIN SEES KRUo CUSTER
BECAUSE OF RACE POLICY

WASHINGTON - (ANP) -
Dixiecrat John Rankin ID, Miss
told the House this week that
Secretary Of Interior Krug ought
to resign or be impeached" be-
cause of his present non-segrega-
ton policies.
Angered over Krug's plan to
end segregation of races in Wash
ington Fairgrounds controlled by
the Interior department, Rankin
charged, TT looks as If Secretary
Krug is determined to stir up race
riots in the District of Columbia.
His order to wipe out segregation
in the various Fairgrounds here
in the District is nothing more in
the world but a Communistic
movement which, If carried out,
is bound to stir up race trouble
all over the country"

a pistol and forced them to leave

Action on Bios

MADISON, wIs.-(ANP)-Re-
fusal of Wisconsin to sen state
life insurance to, Negroes has
been challenged by James Ranch
er Of Milwaukee, who filed suit
against the state last week in
federal court. Rancher charges
that his constitutional rights were
violated when he was denied a
state insurance policy on the
grounds that he Is a Negro.
The Wisconsin law which bars
Negroes from holding state insur-
ance policies came under add
tional fire Wednesday when Atty.
Gen. Thomas e. Fairchild brought
suit in Dane County Circuit court.
According to John LANCE, state
insurance commissioner, the state
does not give Negroes life insur-
ance because their mortality rate
exceeds the actuarial scale. On
the other hand, LANCE pointed
out, he could not issue insurance
at a higher rate because of 4 1914
law requiring standard rates for
state insurance.
However, this Interpretation Of
thelaw is open to question" said
Fairchild. The attorney general
added that discrimination against
Negroes in housing and medical
care ''is an important cause of the
fact that life expectancy of Me-
groes is decidedly shorter"

HUMPHREY URGES
THEATRE OWNER
STOP RACE BAN

WASHINGTON, d. c. In q
recent letter to a large moving
picture theater manager, Senator
Hubert H. Humphrey ID. MINI. },
charged that the practice of dis
elimination in their Washington
theaters aided Communist propa-
ganda.
Il urge you and your associates
to change your policy and begin
admitting people to your box Of
flee regardless of race or color, "
Senator Humphrey wrote to Nor
man Elson, in reference to his
segregation policy IN one of his
theaters in Washington d. C.
Nelson, general manager, Trans
Lux theaters, New York, has
been having some difficulties with
his Washington theater because of
its policy of refusing box office
admission to Negroes. In his let
ter, Humphrey pointed out that
even though his theater conforIned
to a widespread practice in d. c.,
at least two other motion picture
theaters in the city did not dis
criminate even though it attracted
the same kind Of clientele.
Racial discrimination is an
evil which cannot be condoned in
the nations capital" Humphrey
continued. This is not a private
issue-this is a public issue. What
happens in our nations capital is
the concern Of all the American
people.
Moreover, it has international
implications as you well know.
Discrimination against the Ne
groes in Washington adds fuel to
totalitarian propaganda. know
that you and your associates by
no means intend to place demo-
cracy in danger, and certainly do
not intend to aid Communist pro-
paganda. The practice Of dis
elimination in which your theater
engages, however, achieves just
those ends"

affiaation with the American
Bowling Congress. because Of the
ABcs racial ban.
In Chicago last week, states
Attorney John 8. Boyle filed suit
asking revocation Of the charter
Of Abe because the ABC alleged
" incites racial discrimination by
limiting It's membership 70 white
males" only.
In Minneapolis. the Junior
Chamber OF Commerce bowling
league paused q resolution at their
annual meeting IN May stating
that "the primary purpose OF the
league is TO provide that type Of
recreation for It's members. re-
gardless Of race, creed, color or
religious beliefs"
The Minneapolis Jayoeea do not
plan 10 seek the sanction OF the
Abe this year because, according
to Arthur Becker. president, "the
league is provided for the fun OF
its members and IL not concerned
with tournaments"
The superior court suit OF Chi
cago asked that the congreaa
charter be revoked or that Il be
fined and directed TO amend It's
papers OF Incorporation and by
laws to allow enrolment Of per-
sons Of all races.
Incorporated in Illinois in 1908,
Abe conducts an annual tourna-
ment recognized a. the biggest
event in bowling. It controls most
local bowling tournaments.
The fight against the racial
ban In the charter Of Abe reached
an aIl-time high last winter when
the clio and other groups tried to
persuade city and state officials
at Atlantic City, N. J. to deny the
ABC access TO that city for the
annual ABc convention.
The convention was held in At
lantic City, however, and directors
during that meeting rejected an
amendment which would have
ended the rule banning Negroes
from the organization.
Again, on October 10, the clio.
charging that the congress holds
a monopoly over bowling and
that 1t discriminates against Me-
groes and Indians, announced in
Washington it was seeking revo-
cation of the ABC's charter.
ABC secretary Elmer H. Baum
garten, in answering the charge
made by clio, stated that Abe
does not have absolute control
over bowling. but only over our
own membership"
He said many leagues and
tournaments operate outside ABC
control, adding that "the CLIO has
a poor chance of doing anything
about IT,"
Baumgarten asserts there Is
nothing wrong with the discrim-
nation clause. What u Illegal

SPECIALIST CHARTS
WAYS OF MAKING
CHILD SECURE

st. Paul mothers, social workers
and other members Of the COM
munity last Monday night were
told what makes a child insecure
and had outlined to them some
ways Of preventing insecurity In
the child.
Mrs. Pearl t. Cummings, Of the
Institute Of Child Welfare, Uni
versity Of Minnesota, told an audi
ence of the Child Study Club at
Halle Q. Brown that you can't
give q child too much love.
Parents can't spoil children, the
child specialist said. Some Of the
ways parents often inadvertently
make their child insecure, she said
are:
~ Giving unwise affection ca
giving inconsistent discipline CS)
disciplining the child for insignifi-
cant things az disciplining the
child for the convenience Of the
parent, and not when he has done
something necessarily wrong, (5)
by doing everything for the child
and not letting him do small
things for himself, (6) trying to
push the child too fast.
Mrs. Cummings pointed out that
parents should, II the child does
something wrong. strive TO change
his behavior pattern. Parents
should also start early to discover
what the baby's slIills are and let
him develop dexterity along those
lines.
This meeting was the first in a
series to be held at Halle. The
next meeting of the Child Study
Group will be held Monday, Nov.
81, at Halle Q. Brown commun-
ity house.
Such agencies as the Children's
Service, Inc, Family Nursing Ser
vice and the Community Chest
Speakers Bureau viii furnish
speakers for this group. Lectures
and group discussions win be sup
plemented from time to time with
movies, socio-dramas and case
study examples.
The program Is being featured
by the Young Adult department Of
Halle, under the sponsorship Of
Mrs. Margaret Young.
All parents and friends are in
vted to attend. Anyone interested
in the series are asked to contact
Halle or Mrs. Young and get her

LONDON--(H') "A government
committee recommends that the
Polish resettlement corps, an out
growth Of Gen. Wladyslaw An
ders' Polish Refugee Army, be
disbanded by the end of next
September. when it will be three
years old.
The Committee says the corps
has cost Britain's three services
ll0,333,915 pounds ($445, 1886, 500
and handled iI4,037 Poles. A
late count showed it still had
1l.015. OF these, 5.837 were of

to place in jobs.
Most of the Poles baked at
going back where they came
from. because the Communists
are in power there now. Only
8,9l2 have been repatriated, with
SO waiting to go.
OF the others, 11,409 have
