Citizens toMeet
In Fight toSave
Freedom Fair
Crusade Of Letters
To Sesqui Commission
Backed by Group
By WiIliom A. MHIen

A last-ditch fight to save the
Freedom Fair is taking place on
the eve Of the Sesquicentennial
Commissions meeting to decide
the fate Of the project.
A letter-writing campaign to all
commission members is backed by
q citizen group interested in see
ing that the Freedom Fair is held.
The citizens group will meet at
$3.50 pm. tomorrow in the Ham,
ilton Hotel to form a permanent
executive council to carry on the
fight.
j. A. Kamerow, acting chair
man of the Greater Washington
Citizens Freedom Fair Commit
tee, has urged those interested to
join in the letter-writing crusade
He advocates that they not only
write President Truman, commits
sion chairman, but every commits
sion member. And he also wants
members Of all organizations to
write.
To Consider Survey.
The commission meets at
pm. Thursday in the Senate Dis
trict Committee room in the Capt.
tol. 1t will pass on its executive
committees recommendation that
the Freedom Fair be dropped.
One of the prime questions to
be considered by the commission
is whether a survey of industry
should be held to determine
whether business is willing to f.
nance the fair through the sale
of exhibit space. The survey
would cost up to $150.000. Con-
troller General Lindsay c. War
rem recently ruled such a survey
would be legal.
The citizens committee was
formed at a District Building
meeting last week, under the
sponsorship Of the Federation oi
Businessmen's Associations. Busi.
ness, labor. veterans, fraterna
and other groups were repre-.
sented.
Mr.. Kamerow, in a communica.
ton to those who attended, urgec
the letter. writing campaign anc
asked them to attend tomorrow
nights meeting.
Attendance Urged.
1.-THE Freedom Fair is in YOU
hands," Mr.. Kamerow wrote. "Be
sure to attend. Let's put the fail
over for Washington and the Ma
tion."
Mr.. Kamerow wants to receive
carbon copies of the letters writ
ten to the commission. Out of to-
morrow nights meeting may
come plan to call upon the COM
mission itself at the Capitol with
a delegation pledged to see that
the Freedom Fair is held.
The steering committee of the
citizens group met in the Lafay-
cite Hotel yesterday in closed ses-
sion. After this session, Mr.. KAN
crow issued this statement:
There seems to be very sin
cere desire on the part of the citi.
zens Of Greater Washington to put
on the Freedom Fair, whether We
do it through the cooperation oi
the Sesquicentennial Commission
or some other way"

Judge Scott was born in VIII

ago. His exact age is q secret
he has refused to tell. During
his college years at Biddle Uni

as an elevator operator. a Pull

night often played a violin in a

saved some money. and moved to
Washington.
Long Time Democrat.
He practiced here for 80 years,
after being shamed into making a
second start by the North Caro-
lima chief judge. He joined the
Democratic Party early in his
career-at time when nearly all
Negroes were Republicans.
He took an active part in party
affairs and was a strong factor in
the gradual movement Of Negro
voting strength into the Demo-
cratic column.
In 1884. President Roosevelt de-
cided to reward this loyal party
worker with appointemnt to the
Municipal Court bench to succeed
Judge James A. Cobb. a Negro, but
a Republican.
A storm of controversy broke
when the nomination was suggest
ed. The appointment was criti-
cized as an indication that the
Democratic Party was adhering to
the "spoils system" A group of
lawyers contended Judge Scott had
handled only criminal cases and
was totally UNFIT to sit in civil mat
ters. To answer this argument,
Judge Scott prepared a list of
500 civil cases he had handled and
presented it to the Justice De-
partment to prove his competence
in such matters.
While his ability was being de-
bated. the charge was made that
the newspaper Judge Scott founded
had been responsible for causing
a severe race riot in Wilmington
Many residents of the town,
colored and white alike. wrote
Government officials to point out
that the infiammatory matter had
been printed long after Judge
Scott had been forced to sell his
lfoundering paper.
