proved a resolution to congress to

Senator Aiken, claims they do not

against you, then the plain
tiff can get a closed Jail execution,

ay or satisfy the judges you can not

Senator Aiken justifies the law as
Ollows eff an auto driver hurt some

hould be jailed" It's probably
ever occurred to Senator Aiken
nat a state law compelling every |
uto driver to carry a ten, twenty
r thirty thousand dollar accident
olicy, before securing a drivers Ii
ense would be preferable to falling
man and depriving him of his lib

This line of reasoning by eastern

Negroes Must Be On
Georgia Jury Lists, State
Supreme Court Rules

ATLANTA-(ANP)-The names
of Negroes must be placed on jury
lists of Georgia counties, the state
Supreme court ruled here last
week.
The court ruled that John Crumb
must have new trial in a case in
which he was charged of pointing
pistol at another person. He APP
pealed lower court decision on
the grounds that he was convicted
by an all white jury.
Pointing out that the U. S. Su-
preme court and other state courts
had ruled likewise, the Georgia ju-
dicial body declared:
whatever may be the opinion of
the members of this court as to the
correctness, soundness or wisdom
of these decisions, it becomes our
duty to yield thereto.
"This being a government by law
and not by men, jury commission
ers in their official conduct are
bound by the foregoing rulings
Notwithstanding any personal opin-
ions, hereditary instincts, natural
impulses or geographical conditions
to the contrary"

LIGHT AND SHADOW
(From The Christian Science Monitor)

(From The Christian Science Montor)
Just the first Negro is graduated from the United
States Naval Academy Annapolis the first lynchng of
1919 takes place in Georgia.
Negro beaten and shot in a back-country American
town casts long shadow in todays world People in
eastern Europe and southeast Asia likely all
about the sheriff who cleft his keys the table in the
dining ROOM and went off for two hours. They will draw
their own conclusions to why a Negro fellow prisoner
who two white come and get the victim decided
that he could not identify them They will hear grmly
of who reason to remove bullet from
the slain mans body since he didn't have gun to match
it wth-"or any suspects"
The United States whole cannot escape the shame
of what happens in its dark corners North South
But will the rest of the world balance the lag in the white
mans for law and humanity against the gains
in the Negroes upward struggle?
Dr. Ralph H. Bunche grandson of slave and United
Nations mediator for Palestine, declared in speech in
Tennessee the day of the lynching:
eve Negroes must be great realists We suffer
Gripping disadvantages because of our origin But are
Americans in bascally democratic American society.
While nothing easy for the Negro in America neither is
anything impossible The barriers of formidable
but they be surrounded Indeed the entire history of
Negro this country has been history of continuous
relentless progress over these barriers"
The light which Dr. Bunche's words and example
throw this subject of world should reach at
least far the bloodstained shadow from Georgia

Fire Dumuges
Session Hotel;
4 Soldiers Held

About 40 tenants Of the Ses-
sion Hotel, 1896 Main St.. were
forced from their room at 5:35
O'Clock one morning last week
by two-alarm fire that dam
aged the three-story hotel and
demolished an adjacent frame
building.
The adjacent building, in which
the fire apparently started, col
lapsed during the fire. Police
said it had been abandoned for
the past several years. No one
was injured.
Four Fort I.awton soldiers,
who earlier had voiced threats
against n club in the first floor
of the hotel, were jailed by
police and military police during
the fire.
Held without charge in the
city Jail on orders of Fire Chief
William Fitzgerald. the soldiers
denied starting the blaze. said
Patrolman Alex Calder, one of
the arresting officers.
Damage to the hotel owned by
Mrs. Velma Lee Session, was
estimated by firemen at about
$4,000.
Patrolman Calder said he and
his partner, Patrolman A. A.
johnson, had seen the four sol
diers walking west on Main ST.,
at 18th Avenue about 5:15 o.
clock In the morning.
Zone of them was carrying a
club" Calder said. I'VE stopped
them, but they seemed to be
causing no trouble, so we went
on"
The club manager, James Line
gan, said that he had refused
admittance to the four soldiers
early in the night because they
appeared to be too young"
Linegan said the soldiers be-
came angry and told him they
would return and elbow the place
up" according to Calder.

RACE RIOT FLARES
IN ST. LOUIS

ST. LOUISA new order that
let whites and Negroes swim to-
gether in city parks prompted a
racial clash, and an afternoon
crowd of several hundred grew to
several thousand by mid-evening.
Eleven persons were injured amid
swinging knives and clubs.
Toward 10 pm. (EST) the
crowd began breaking up, and a
tense situation eased off. Police
Chief jeremiah O'Connell estimat-
ed the crowd at between 1000
and 5000.
The scene was Fairgrounds
Park in North st. Louis = just
three blocks north of Sportsman's
Park where the Cardinals and the
Browns play ball.
A great many of the throng that
piled in as the evening wore on
consisted of teen-agers just watch
ing to see what might happen.
Some car windows were smashed
and bicycles were damaged.
Calling in all available reserves,
Chief O'Connell assembled a po-
lice force of more than 400 men
to cope with the trouble. The
crowd milled from one point to
another, but there never was a
mass conflict.
The one person severely injured
was white youth, ROLAND Erbar,
20, cement finisher. He, suf-
fered a stab wound in the ribs.
When the trouble broke out
Mayor Joseph M. Darst promptly
countermanded the order that let
whites and Negroes swim in the
same city pools.
Heretofore the races have been
kept apart in city pools.

Hysteria Sweeping Country
Has ominous Ring When II
Touches Race Relations Field

Touches Race Relations Field
for one, am glad that Presi-
dent Truman called for a stop
to the hysteria which is sweep
ing the country. It has an oml-
nous ring when it enters into
the field of race relations and
more people than you know are
tested as to their loyalty by
their stand on the color problem
have been told that many
white Government employees in
Washington, d. c.. are afraid to
be seen with Negroes or to spon-
sor any Negro cause because
they might be suspected of be-
ing Red. l can believe this on
the basis of things I have seen
myself.
During the war there was a
Negro journalist who wrote a
piece on the type of propaganda
which was being sent to India
about the treatment of the
American Negro. As one might
suspect this literature was aimed
to show the Indians that after
all the Negro in the United
States was not getting such a
bad deal.
The agency which was putting
out this material was at that
time coming up before the
Senate for appropriation and
didn't want any of It's enemies
to pick up this piece as a sample
of how the Negro press would
react to this type of material
and thus endanger their appro-
priation.
The Negro journalist was sent
for and, although he did not
agree to withdraw his criticism
of the agency, he did volunteer
to act for the agency as dollar
a year man.
The journalists name was
promptly sent to the Civil Serv-
ice Commission for clearance
and the usual examination as
to whether the Journalist was
loyal began. This investigation
ran smoothly for while until
one of the operators CHANGED
upon the fact that this journalist
had at one time been married
to a white girl.
With this disclosure all OF
the wheels of Civil Service In
vestigation Department were un-
loosened. At least three agents
were assigned to the case
Friends of the journalist all over
town called him about the fact
that they had been questioned
| Finally after all clues were care
fully checked the journalist was
caller to the main office of the
Civil Service Commission, where
he was questioned by four men.
After hours of questioning 1t
became clear that the Commits
sion had no evidence against the
man: the Communists had failed
to claim him, and his reputation
in the community was beyond
reproach.
The only tangible thing which
had brought on the witch hunt
was the fact that he. had once
been married to a white girl.
Then the journalist pointed out
that the whole investigation had
been stupid. He called attention
to the fact that he had been to
Europe twice in the last few
years and no attempt had been
made to see whether or not he
had been to the Soviet Union.

'OId-timer has peciaIlmeaning at Standard


They say you're not really an "old-timer"
at Standard until you've been on the job
at least 20 years. and at 80 years, there's
a special company award: gold watch
and six weeks vacation with pay.
That's appreciation of a mans service

serve JON best, and we do everything we
can to make jobs at Standard good.
Security, good pay and working con-

part of making that principle reality.

WOOImen Slate
Early Meet

FOR THE FIRST time the Mon
tana Woolgrowers association will
hold their annual meeting and con-
vention in the fall, according to
Everett E. Shuey, Helena, secre-
tary of the livestock group.
The convention, the 10th to be
held by the association, will be in
Great Falls, Nov. 1, 2 and 8.
Shuey said he expects an at
tendance of about 700. Wallace III
mer, Miles City, president, will pre-
side. Howard Vaughn, Dixon, Calf,
National Wool Growers association
president, is to attend.
Among matters to be discussed,
Shuey said, will be the wool pur-
chase program and the handling of
wool.
Something must be done to en-
courage wool production" he said.
The sheep population in Mon
tana has dropped about so percent
since about 1910, and this decrease
is general through the United States.
This is due to various factors, among
them a shortage of labor, predatory
animals, a lack of an overall policy
regarding grazing on the part of for
est service and the fact that it has
been easier to make more money in
other enterprises"
The 18th meeting of the associa-
ton was held in Missoula early this
spring. Attendance at that meeting
was down somewhat because of
severe weather conditions prevailing
at that time.
A fall meeting is expected to
suit the convience of woolgrowers
more, as the winter meeting often
finds many of them near Landing
time, and with livestock more de-
pendent on their care at home,

If the price of fat lambs is ST.
allowing the 2-cent margin neces-
sary. the grower makes SIP per
head for his work. In addition to
having sold his feed at a handsome
price and having accumulated a lot
of good fertilizer for his land and
kept himself employed all winter at
home-ifs a dandy program if it
works. and every indication points
to the fact that it will.
In some localities owner OF
lambs are putting them out to
feeders on a gain basis. This plan
has much merit. The feeder is not
obliged to put up a lot of money to
buy lambs, and the owner of the
lambs shares in the profit made by
having fat lambs to sell in place of
feeders. In case of a declining market
neither stands to lose a great deal as
losses are shared the same as the
gains.
There is no support price IN fat
lambs this year and the feeder must
take his own chances of a loss due
to a declining market. However,
with feed to sell and with the low
numbers of lambs available it looks
like a good gamble with a better
than ever chance to show a profit
on the operation.
