"A GOOD MAN FOR A HARD JOB

When John Duncan State Liquor Superintendent, told

enlightened persons that John Duncan has perhaps the
toughest public office in the State.
The State liquor authority also told the good ministers
that his budget provides for only eight investigators whose

Mrs. william Taylor Negro Lawyer
Treas. Texas Club Defends Communist

The tall, balding Negro looked
and sounded like professor as
he stood all week before an easel
loaded down with an ever-chang-
ing array of graphs, maps, and
charts, as he commented softly and
deliberately on the meaning of this
chart or the significance of par
ticular group of colored pins.
The man was indeed a profess
sor, His name was Doxey Wilker-
son, and he had taught education
for eight years at Howard univer
sity. He was distinguished schol
ar, sociologist and statisician.
But Wilkerson this past week
was not in a classroom at the
Jefferson School for Social Science
where ne now teaches. He was
fighting for the life of the Com
munist party of which he is a
prominent member, in the court
room of Judge Harold Medina in
New York.
WilkerSon was an expert witness,
called by counsel for the II Com
advocating Marvism-Leninism, to
demonstrate that the jury system
in New York was loaded and biased.
There was little doubt that
Wilkerson was making his case
Systematically and overwhelming
ly, proving that manual workers
were excluded from jury service,
that Negroes were not represented
on the panels, that whole geogra-
phical areas in New York, such as
Negro Harlem and East Harlem in
Rep. Marcantonio's district, were
conspicuous by the absence of their
citizens from jury panels.
AS Wilkerson painstakingly cited
the facts, Judge Medina became in
creasingly impatient, urging the de-
fense to conclude it's presentation.
But then a lot of people were be-
coming impatient with Judge
Medina, with the New York jury
system and, more than that, with
the trial itself.
Three CIO trade unions with
25O,OOO members, the International
Fur & Leather Workers, the Mine,
Mill & Smelter Workers and the
Food, Tobacco & Agricultural
workers, asked permission to enter
the trial as friend of the court"
in support of the challenge to the
jury system.
And a delegation of seven local
union officials from five unions
visited Judge Medina to ask him
to scrap the discriminatory system
and quash the indictments against
the Communist leaders.

can inspection of concrete ma

revealed that they withstood the

Cracks were observed to have op-

no bond between each other.
GAS result of our study and in
spection of the earthquake area,
we feel that concrete masonry

structed, will withstand earth
quakes of considerable magnitude.
We feel that the present building

Mrs. William Taylor, Sta e
Treasurer of the great State of
Texas Club of the First Colored
Baptist Church is included in a
membership which has learned the
art of giving. Giving is predicated
on what one has and not on what
one has not. End Corinthians 9Th
Chapter and 18th Verse reads as
follows: For if there be first a
willing mind, it is accepted ac-
cording to what a man hath, and
not according to that he has not.
In the distant past persons who
gave to the church literally and
cheerfully were called ariStocrats
or big moguls but in this day and
age the name big shot is used for
this type of liberal church giver.
It is persons right to select
the prize wanted for his labor.
A plain or starry crown or just
the praise of men, either is his
reward. Texans have given in many
ways to build great church edifices.
They sell 'Texas wrinkles, chill
and beans, turkey and chicken
dinners, etc. but the plan that is
really gaining in the church is the
Bible way of contributing which
is tithing, requiring one-tenth of
ones income which belongs to God
and it should be given on the first
day of the week. Anyone who
wants to give $4,000 and wants
just the praise of men as his re-
ward, we will be glad to oblidge
him because we sincerely want the
freedom of religion to continue.
Texans will lead in the future as
they have done in the past.

Concrete Buildings

The earthquake of major in

ifornia on the afternoon of Dec. 4,

of the quake-resistant qualities of

Apples are here again in plenty
one OF the happy signs of winter.

apples. To prove it, here's a sim

Betty that's tops in taste and tex
ture-and unbeatable for frosty
weather popularity.
Flaky Brown Betty
3 large apples pared. cored and
