Florida NAACP
Branches Launch
Annual Tag Sale

In keeping with a resolution
adopted at their Ninth Annual State
Meeting, Florida branches of the
N AACP will sponsor their Annual
Tag Sale during the month Of Feb
ruary. This project was initiated
last year as a means of raising some
Of the funds needed for state and
local work of the NAACP. Proceeds
from the sale of the tags will be iii
vided between the branches Of the
State Conference on the same basis
used last year.
The first Sunday in February is
designated as Civil Rights Day,
and it will mark the beginning of
the Annual Tag Sale. Tags will
bear this inscriptions: "Buy A Tag
To-Day To Promote Human Rights"
This inscription is designed to re-
mind Americans that the NAACP
stands in the front line in this
struggle for civil rights, and that
for 40 years it has employed all
available legal methods in an effort
to win for Negroes their full rights
as American citizens. It is common
knowledge that the NAACP is winn-
ing for Negroes the right to vote in
all elections, the right to serve on
juries, and the right to enjoy equal
educational opportunities. The
NAACP is waging persistent fight
for justice in the courts. and it is

8:dxEXI BUSINESS
BY :HH71A3:l< HARDER

AS it should, the war crisis
dominates the spotlight in Wash
ington And as long as the life Of
a single American boy is jeoA
pardized, the situation rightfully
commands the spotlight.
However, a spotlight usually
fails to illuminate the dark cor
ners. And it is in dark corners
that rodents gnaw.
While this present situation is
not expected to develop into
World War III, it is furnishing
the excuse for those who want TO
change the American economic
system to again re-activate their
forces. 1t, therefore, is impera-
tive not to become so engrossed
in the fighting front news, that
news that will emanate from
Washington is overlooked. Dark
developments are brewing in
dark corners.
Socialist planners in Washing
ton are strongly pressing for
adoption Of the chosen inS.ru-
ment policy. According TO their
plans, a community of 5000 now
served, for example by ten gro-
GERS, would be reduced by direc-
tive to one grocer. Overnight
thousands of small businesses
will be out of business. The eX-
cuse will be manpower conserva-
tion - other reasons which to
many will sound logical to meet
a crisis.
OF course, the firms left in
business would be those which
could exert the most influence
in Washington.
This plan is in actual blue
prints. The sponsors await the
propitiOus moment to urge adep-
tion. Watch for trial balloons
that will be sent up.

Merchants Nine
Continues Good
Work On Diamond

Most East Cleveland sports fans
have been centering their atten-
tion on the Cleveland Indians, local
softball, golf, tennis, etc. this sum-
mer and have been completely un-
aware of a good little baseball
team right here in their midst.
We refer to the East Cleveland
Merchants, which is made up of
East Cleveland boys between the
ages of 12-14, who are developing
into talented exponents of the ma
tional pasttime. The Merchants
have been organized for several
years now and each season new
faces are added to the roster as
the boys get older and advance to
leagues of higher classification.
However, despite their lack of eX-
perience, these local lads give an
excellent account of themselves in
every game and have built up a
reputation of which they are right
fully proud.
The team is managed by Ray
Sexton, a well-known figure in
local sports, who is assisted by
Kenneth S. Whiteman and Don Sex
ton, who is a member of the Shaw
baseball and basketball teams. The
team plays an Independent sched-
ule since they have no league af-

And while this plan will be
stressed as only a temporary
war measure, the sponsors look
to long range elimination in a
so-called controlled economy.
These socialist planners know,
just as Stain, Hitler, and Brit
ish socialists knew, that liquida-
tion of the middle class is essen
tial to Inauguration of socialism.
And in America, small business
is the backbone of the middle
class. Destruction of Americas
small business is a Must"
The few concerns who would be
favored by such a plan, may or
may not favor it, depending on
the degree of realistic thinking.
\
The realists know that it would
be just one more step to social
ization of their business.
y
The plan will get support of
many sincere americans, TOO,
who will be duped by such
phrases as 1T takes totalitarian
measures to defeat totalitarian
states"
But no matter what slogans
are used, enactment of such a
measure will kill private enter
prise in America. CollectiviZa-
tion of the farms ould be next.
y
It sounds fantastic, but so did
the Anaerasia case; atomic
bomb spying until brought to
light.
What makes the situation
more serious, is that false
front" organizations, purporting
TO be working for small business,
will endorse this phase. The only
defense will be a public well in
formed. AS news of this social
istic trend develops we will
bring it TO you. Watch the news
closely.

fed through downtown Brooklyn

Mr.. Schadkin and his messenger
companion, George Meyers, were
en- route on foot to deliver the
money to a housing project near
the entrance to Brooklyn Bridge.
A car drew alongside the mes
sengerS and four bandits, one of

However, the Judge advocate

In any case. the Army said,
any death sentence imposed by
a court-martial must be sub

In this instance, Army officers
assumed here that the court
