In 1880. Mr.. Chapman came to
Washington, to manage the cam
paign as candidate for the Senate
for one of the great liberals, SEN
ator Edward P. Costigan, with
whom he had been associated in
law practice in Colorado. Then,
in 1882. he managed the campaign
Of Senator Alba Adams, and also
served as assistant probation Of
f1cer to Judge Ben Lindsey. The
great love of children, which he
shares with his pretty wife, has
also led him to serve on the Juve-
nile Court Advisory Committee.
Vivacious. witty Mrs. Chapman,
the former Ann Kendrick, once
taught school in Brownsville, Tex.
She was born in Lafayette Coun-
ty. La, close to the Texas line,
in the enchanted "Evangeline
country" Bayou Teach, where the
heroine of Longfellow's undying
poem came to rest after her heart
breaking journey, and now lies
buried. There is a strain of all
that is most charming about the
South in Ann Chapman-compas-
sion, gentle humor, good nature
and feminine wisdom. She really
loves Washington, describing her
self as a perpetual sightseep," and
hopes that she never grows so
blase that she fails to enjoy its
constant excitement. One of her
favorite spots in the Capitol, some
what unusual for a Southerner, is
the magnificent Lincoln Memorial.
She smilingly recalls that her COM
pletely unprejudiced husband was
expelled from grammar school be-
cause he refused to remove a pic

from his wall!

 Gruening to Debate On Administration

FAIRBANKS, (P- Republican chairman Albert White made the kickoff in the party's Fourth Dis trict "all-out campaign" with an open debate challenge to Governor Gruening "or any of his Satel- lites" on the conduct of Alaska's government.
 The Juneau party leader spoke at a weekend Republican dinner rally here.
 He alleged there has been ''cor- ruption, misfeasance and malfea- sance" in the Territorial govern ment and cited instances which ha said proved it.
 In his debate challenge, White said:
 "I shall pay for the hall and for transportation expenses. If the governor is unable to accept this challenge, offer to pay travel expenses of one of his local satel- lites to debate the same ques- tion."
 He cited numerous instances in which he said present and former legislators have received pay from bureaus, departments or commis- sions which they helped to create while in the legislature, and add ed:
 "This practice, if not illegal, is certainly morally wrong"
 Alaska's general election will be held October 10.

 One company-General Electric reached agreement with the un- ions, ending the threat of a coun- try-wide strike. The second- Westinghouse - was threatened with a strike.
 The two unions and General Electric agreed to a new contract providing a wage boost of 10 cents an hour and other benefits for some 1O5,O0O workers. The agreement also ended a strike of 10000 CIO workers.
 The same two unions-the CIO International Union of Electrical Workers GUE) and the Independ- ent United Electrical Workers UE) rejected Westinghouse of- fer of an eight cents an hour pay boost.
 The UE ordered a strike vote for the 22,OOO Westinghouse work CTS it claims. The CIO union, which claims 45,000 workers, called an emergency meeting of it's strategy committee.

 Since when is it crime to ask for information?" asked the Daily NeWs-M Miner editor.
 Bartlett has issued a statement in Washington Friday in which he named Strand as one of those from whom Frank Bow, aide to Senator Schoeppel, solicited infor- nation in preparing the controver- sial attack on interior secretary Chapman.
 ''It was my pleasure while in Washington, D. C., recently to talk to MT. Bow among quite num- Der of federal officials" Strand replied Saturday. "Our conversa- ton was concerned with the sad state of public affairs in Alaska at the present time. MT. Bow is not a subscribed to the Daily News Miner.

Commerce Dept. Suspends Lee

WASHINGTON (P)-Commerce department officials said today a department loyalty board has made an adverse finding against Michaen Lee, and he has been Sus- pended from his S10,000 year job in that agency.
 The finding, handed down with out announcement September g., already has been challenged by Lee. His attorneys are preparing an appeal to secretary of com merce Sawyer, officials said.
 Lee, AZ, was born in Manchuria of Russian ancestry. He was head of the Far East branch of the de- partment's office of international trade before his loyalty was put under question first in October, 1948.
 Before the adverse loyalty board ruling, secretary Sawyer had asked Lee to resign or be fired" on grounds that his continued en- ployment was detrimental to the department aside from loyalty questions.

 The South Korean Republics radio at Pusan said the U. N. forces captured the Yongdunpo in dustrial suburb of Seoul at 5 pm. (Korean time).
 The broadcast said South Ko- rean Marines, as well as U. s. Leathernecks, were engaged in vii olent street fighting with Korean Reds, while other units of the U. N. forces were advancing toward the heart of Seoul.
 Another big Allied offensive kicked off all along the 120-mile perimeter of the old southeast beachhead in a drive intended to- put the squeeze on the commun- ists from the north and the south.
 U. s. Second Division troops drove through heavy rains and deep mud to east east bank of the Naktong River, four and one half miles from their starting point.
 Front line reports said the Ko- rean Reds were pulling back westward in a general exodus" and in '"vast mad confusion" A Division spokesman said the hills were filtered with North Korean dead.
 Elsewhere on the 120 mile front other Allied forces hammered out gains from one to three miles.
 Six Red tanks threatening to delay the drive on Seoul were knocked out. Carrier planes Gin force" covered the advance.
 Field dispatches said the Allied forces had established line across the Inchon Peninsula. Behind the advancing Marines were some 40,- 900 men, pouring ashore with their equipment. South Koreans were hopping up Red remnants in the port city of 3OO,O00 population.
 Inchon was captured quickly Friday after American troops and South Koreans stormed ashore, first of Wolmi Island, which is connected to Inchon by cause way. They stormed the beaches under a tremendous naval and air bombardment and swiftly slashed two miles into Inchon.
 Inchon's port facilities already have been put back into opera ton. Troops and a flood of equip ment flowed ashore Friday night.
 The startegy planned by Gen. of July 12 was pro- ceeding on schedule. MacArthur said the big pincer movement would cause the Korean Red army to "disintegrate" sooner or, later. He obviously gambled that Red China or Russia would not fight.
 The success of the Inchon land ings was credited in large mea- sure to the daring of six Allied destroyers and blunder by the Reds.
 The destroyers were ordered to cruise slowly by Wolmi Island to draw fire from shore positions. The Red guns at first were silent, then made the mistake of opening up on the sitting ducks" This revealed their position to the

"a moon hour chapel period at

theme was Strengthening and
Safeguarding the Human Rights
of All Americans"
]; Dr., Brazel strongly denounced
segregation and discrimination on
the basis of race; he advocated the
continuance of integration In va
rious aspects, particularly in high
er educational institutions. In
what was perhaps one of his most
striking remarks on separate but
equal facilities, the distinguished
lecturer and historian said that
the group who does the separat-
ing will always reap tie most
benefits from it.
AS is characteristic of such a
talk, the power of the ballot was
mentioned as a means by which a
number of the rights may be won.
The gentleman from Atlanta used
his own city, which is one of the
most progressive cities in the south
as an example of a city Gin which
much is being obtained as a re-
suit of a learned citizenry exer-
ciSing the ballot. @
The professor emphasized the
fact that the Negro Race is not
the only oppressed group in
America, but probably the weak
est, though the most in number.
He said that the battle for rights
is being fought by a number of
organizations. The Jewish Anti
Defamation League, the NAACP
and liberal labor unions were a
few of the groups named that one
could and should affiliate himself
with. s
Dean Brazel has made many
studies of Negroes in various
phases of American life. The most
concrete evidence of such a study

NEGRO SENATOR
ELECTED IN
HAWAII

HONOLULU - (ANP)-When
the. new territorial legislature
convenes here at Iolani palace in
January, one of the is senators
will be Negro lawyer, Wendell
F. Crockett of the island Of Maui,
a Republican. A threatened con-
test over Crockett's election on
Nov. 7 when he defeated his DEM
ocratic opponent by 43 votes has
apparently fizzled out:
Crockett, who has been assis-
tant county prosecutor on Maui
for over 20 years, came here after
graduating from the Michigan
law school. The only Negro law
yer in the Hawaiian islands, 1t is
not generally known that he is
Negro. "~ es.a
He has been bitterly opposed by
organized labor which accuses him
of siding with the employers.
Crockett has been county chair
man of the Republican party
which is dominated by the sugar
plantations. w
1t is understood that the lawyer
prefers not to identify himself
with the Negro group. He is on
griendly terms with hardly a
handful of the Negroes living liz
the territory, according to old
timers.
The second Negro candidate in
the Nov. elections, William Hale,
Jr., was defeated in the race for
Democratic representative from
West Hawaii. Hale is the son Of
the late president of Tennessee A
and State college in Nashville.

In addition, the firm has called
on Who's Who in Colored Amer
lea to eliminate the words "Who's

action.
Fleming stated that, in his re-
ply, he called attention to the fact
that Who's Who in Colored
America has been published since
1927 (seven editions) under it's
present title; that each edition had
been copyrighted, and that no at
tempt whatever had ever been
made to associate Who's Who in
