Longshoremen
Defeat Boss Ryan

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Negro
longshoremen on the Brooklyn
water front scored a humping vic
tory over candidates backed by
Joseph P. BOSS" Ryan, president
of the AFL International Longshore-
mems association last week. The
vote was 230 to Sc.
The fight between local leadership
and the international union over
job discrimination has been in pro-
cess for several years. Last year it
reached violent proportions. Ryan
charged the union had turned Com
munist" and the unions leaders said
Ryan was taking their jobs and Civ
ing them to White members.
The results were announced last
week by Cleophas Jacobs, president
of Local 96S, who hailed the victory
as proof "the members of our local
are solidly behind us in our struggle
for equal job opportunities on the
New York waterfront"
Ryan had no comment. The local
is 99.9 per cent Negro.

ST. LOUIS - (ANP) - A 1921 CT
insurance dividend check numerous
drinks too many, and an itchy trig-
ger finger proved too much for Fred
ID. Staten, probationary police Off

Prejudice Hats Chicago
Public Housing Program

CHICAGO - (ANP) Racial
prejudice, hate and revenge are
blocking a decent public housing
program for Chicago, Aid. Archibald
j. Carey Jr. charged last week as
the city council housing committee
threw the housing question back
into the laps of the Chicago Housing
authority.
Carey made these charges after
the committee failed to recommend
any new sites for public housing af-
ter a nine-member subcommittee
had taken a citywide tour" of va
cant lands in Chicago.
Chicago is eligible for 10000 public
housing units this year if it ever
can get some land approved. In the
city's slum clearance program it
has to build on vacant land first be-
fore it can tear down any slums.
The city housing program calls for
10000 housing unit under the feder-
al housing act of 1919 which gives
the IdIlOn IOIdl VI oIV,VVV uhllS'
Originally the CHA recommended
last month seven sites for the build
ing of 10000 units, Chicago's re-
served quota for its first year. The
city rejected five of these sites and
approved only two-both in Negro
areas The council decided it would
take over the selection of sites, and
last weeks fiasco is the result.
At the council housing committee
meeting, attended by Mayor Ken
nelly, all kinds of factions charged
and countercharged one another
with such names as spite, revenge,
prejudice.

Friday, The 18th
Unlucky For
Two Cabbies

MONTGOMERY, Ala. CAMP
Friday, the 18th, was, a bad day
for Eugene Smith, Jr., 20, and
John Mcintyre, IS, both taxi cab
drivers.
On that day, they engineered
the kidnapping Of the two children
Of Dr.. r. E. Tisdale for a $4,000
ransom. Two days later, they were
arrested and now are reported to
have admitted the crime.
According to police, the we'll
known DR.. Tisdale's children =
Jean Carol, 7 and Raphael, 5 =
were at the Sisters of the Blessed
Sacrament school on the "'bad
luck" day. Smith called the school
from McIntyre's house and said:
"I'm DR.. Tisdale. l will pick up
the children soon and take them
to the office"
A short time later, about 1920
that morning the two men picked
up the children in a cab and took
them to the lakewood cemetery.
Mcintyre remained with the child
rem, while Smith telephoned the
Tisdale residence.
Mrs. Tisdale said she was told.
IT you don't come to the GEM
etery and bring $4,000 with you,
we're going to kill your Children
and you'd better not call the po-
lice or tell anybody; Wen kill

The parents drove to the GENE

large bills, from $40 to 500.
They left the car with the money
on the seat and walked out of the
cemetery When they returned,

Smith was arrested the follow
ing day and Mcintyre was picked

covered in cash plus two automo-

is to be paid when the case is
ready for trial.
Stanford is charged with Giving
in open and notorious adultery
with Rose Meta beauty company
executive, the former Mrs. Libby
Clark. Both women have children
by Stanford, born within the last
year.
Stanford, however, says,
he obtained a divorce from
Anita Somewhere, some time"
that he does not think will stand
up in New York courts. He alleges
that they entered into a mutual
separation agreement. He is then
supposed to have married Mrs.

Between The Lines

defeating Truman's civil rights
proposals. Whereas most of the
Dixiecrats hail from the Gulf
states, Taft a Dixiecrat at heart,
halls from Ohio, long noted for its
part in the fight for human rights
and betterment.
Of course, the incurable Ne
gro Republicans will stay on the
bandwagon even if a Taft is in
the drivers seat. Taft is a politi-
cal calamity. Taft is a Dixiecrat.
Taft is a refined Negrophobe.
Taft is the leader of an issueless
party that was lying in ambush to
pounce upon Truman and club
him with the Korean disaster, had
there been one.
Good. news from Korea is bad
news for the defunct Republican
party. But more important than
this the political aspect of the
Korean campaign is the larger is
sue of world peace which has re-
ceived a tremendous boost by what
is transporting in Korea. The out
look for world peace is to this
writer brighter than it has been
for many years.
Now that Russia knows we will
fight and will not be pushed a.
round, she will be more careful
of her plots and plans. This nation
has paid too dear a price for the
liberties and freedom it enjoys to
sacrifice them without a bitter
struggle. Instead of trying to
heckle Truman, the world should
hail him as making one of the
mightiest strokes for peace ever
made by man.
Harry Truman has put the peace
loving world deep in his debt. He
is greatly to be commended for
refusing to allow the high-strung'
southerners to prod him into hurl-
ing the atom bomb in this war; for
to have hurled the bomb in the
name Of the U.N. would have de-
stroyed every reasonable hope for
peace within the next two or three
generations. Peace prospects are
brighter for the good news from
Korea.

This writer is glad for Truman's
sake that the military turn of
events in Korea are being salts
factorialy prosecuted. Of major
Importance however, is the assur-
ance that the tide of Communism
has been stemmed. There is evil
dnce that that the cause of peace
isbeing tremendously strengthened
by our recent victories in Korea.
Matters were terribly ugly for
far too long a time, and our pres
tige suffered tremendously and
even our recent victories are not
calculated to restore our nation
to the confidence Of that part of
the world that looks to US to save
it from the onward sweep of Com
munism.
And while our victories should
give us heart, they should not in
the least give US complacency:
for if the Korean campaign has
taught us any one thing, it has
taught us that we are not prepared
to wage a bloody struggle with
Russia for world supremacy. Only
a miracle saved US from being
Pearl Harbored" again. 1t is not
a healthy sign for a little people
like North Korea to stand up to
to us and fight us to a standstill-
for even a few weeks.
AS an old prize fighter was
wont to say, "never let a week op-
ponent in the ring stay there too
long before being put away for
keeps; for the longer he stays
there the more confidence he
gains and the more trouble to fl
nally dispose of him. 1t was even
so with the North Korean Com
munists, they stayed in the ring
with UN forces entirely too long,
for their confidence not to be
consideredably strengthened.
The Congressional hecklers led
by reactionary Robert Taft were
in great glee yer what appeared
to be a terrible Korean debacle for
our fighting units. They had just
sat back and were ready with the
cry 1--WE told you SOL" But oul
current victory has taken the wind
out of their sails and they r left
sorely bereaved of campaign is
sues aside from the political neg
ativism that has all but destroye-
the once mighty Republican
party.
This writer is glad for Truman''
sake that there will be no failure
in Korea to spark the warmed
over campaign of the politically
bankrupt Republicans and Dixie
Gratis. Taft is quite a favorite
with certain elements Of the south
who admire him not for his astute
craftsmanship, but because he is
one of the south's chief allies ii

Ask Native Service To Limit Alaska

SEATTLE, lP) - The chamber of commerce asked the federal bureau of Indian Affairs WedneS- day "to limit its Alaska shipping operations to those ports where commercial shipping is not avail able"
 The new Alaska Native service vessel, North Star, hauled govern ment freight last year which was carried formerly on privately op- erated ships, John Perry, chair man of the chambers Alaska divi- sion, sadi.
 ''In many cases the government tonnage to ports served by pri- vately operated ships means the difference between a profitable and non-profitable voyage" Perry contended.
 With the loss of such tonnage it has been necessary for the com mercial carriers to reduce the number of sailings to those areas"

SINGAPORE, P)-The Alumi- mum Laboratories, Ltd., has ap- piled to the Johore State Govern ment for 2,5OO acres of land for mining bauXite. If approved, it will be the first mine opened since the war.

Black Bears Are Not Skillful As Game Hunters
tBY Rennie TaYlor) GAP Science Reporter

SAN FRANCISCO, R)-Black bears are not skillful enough to catch animal prey very often and they'll eat almost anything else when they can't get raw meat, government wild life specialist reported recently.
 Because of their ineptness, they turn to grass, berries, insects, TO- dents, spruce cones and needles, dead leaves, wood, small rocks, and even clay, said Edward F. Chatelain, of the U. $. fish and wild life service. Chatelain ad- dressed the North American wild life conference.
 Chatelain studied the eating habits of black bears on the Ke- mai Peninsula of Alaska. He sought to determine how many moose they killed. The study was made by analyzing bear drop pings.
 Young moose are born begin ming in May. Chatelain's analyses tell the story of their perils.
 Only 112 per cent of the drop pings late in May contained moose calf remains, Indicating the bears were catching very few of the young. But the figure rose gradu- ally to 26.3 per cent in early Au- gust. Then it dropped to nothing in late August.
 That was mute evidence that calves more than three months old were smart enough to evade the bears. The analyses showed the bears eked out a living by eat ing mostly grass and berries as long as they were available.
 The survey indicated, Chatelain said, that the bears are an import ant factor in keeping the moose population down but their depre- dations are confined mainly to the first three months after the calving season.

Local fishermen have had one of the poorest seasons in years. And recently their troubles have been doubled by huge basking sharks which move in close to shore and interfere with dragnet operations.
 William Adler, president of Far ralone Fisheries, reports that some of the big fellows, six and seven ton whoppers as long as 20 feet, have ripped halibut and sea bass nets to shreds. The sharks can be caught, Adler says, "but they are of no earthly use"
