~" Facilities
For Community
Purposes

Throughout the existence of the
Parish St. Branch Y.M.C.A., the
facilities of the Association have
been extended to various organi-
cations, religious and secular. in
toto.
AS we look back over the years,
we find that the following organiz-
ed groups have used the Y.M.C.A.
building or facilities: Boy Scouts,
SCI. Alumni Club, The Jackson
CityWide Chorus, the Negro Di-
vision of the Community Chest,
The Negro Chamber of Commerce,
Negro Division of March of Dimes,
Rust Alumni Club, l. C. Freight
House Union, Division of the Red
Cross, William Walker Post of the
American Legion, The Girl Scouts,
State Convention of Letter Car
riers, Jackson Ministerial Associa-
ton, All Club Leaders and Adj
visors, Local Union of BARRIERS of
Jackson, Comets Baseball Club.
Brown Bombers Athletic Club,
Prince Hall Masonic Lodge, Parish
Street Baptist Church, and the di-
vision of the Jackson Memorial
Hospital
These groups are in no way af-
filiated with the Y.M.C.A., although
many have members who are part
of the Association. The YMCA is
extremely proud of this record of
service. 1t indicates the degree to
which the Y belongs to the COM
munity and the city as a whole.
AS the material properties of the
Association increase; so the capa-
city to serve the people of Jackson
in greater and more efficient way
will increase.

the initial test" Mr.. Wilkins said.
"These reactionary elements hoped
to kill even this ineffective sub
stitute by recommitting it. After
losing the vote to recommit, they
switched on the final vote and
voted against the measure as an
expression Of their opposition to
any FEPC, however weak"
Mr.. Wilkins commended the AZ
Republicans who voted against the
motion to substitute the McCon-
nell bill and praised the floor
leadership in the fight for the
bill put up by Rep. Adam Clayton

ton will be asked to concentrate

that body pass an effective FEPC
bill. To this end, all our resources
must be modified"

Arrives From
Paris For Tour

NEW YORK-Lois Towles, bril-
liant pianist and Professor Of Mu-
sic on leave Of absence from Fisk
University, whose recitals in Paris
during the past year have earned
the respect of French music crit
les, will arrive in New York on
March for a 30 day concert
tour, which will take her to lead
ing cities and colleges in the

engagement. The Judge agreed that
she had a predominant point and
dismissed the charges against her.
The flying blues singer finally
talked to the Judge after discover
ing what it's like to commute daily
from Frisco to Los Angeles.
The sultry nightcluD thrush and
Decca Recording star, La Belle
Holiday emphatically denied the
charges of Ed Fishman, erstwhile
self-styled manager, who claimed
she owed him $75 G's. That amount
Fishman said is due him in COM
missions from her earnings, if she
had not fired him and ditehed his
Z year contract, after she found
him to be a phoney.
Judge Gives Findings
Judge Swain said, There isn't a
doubt in the world that the plain
tiff Fishman undertook to act as
manager for the defendant. He
carefully drew the contract, in such
language that he hoped that he
could avoid California law by the
things that he did There is law
in California that requires him to
have a license.
There was no breach in this
contract, because the contract was
void from the beginning. There
never was valid contract. A con-
tract that is invalid from the start
cannot be preached. 1t just is not
contract; and the fact that Miss
Holiday sent him notice in New
York that he was discharged does
not mean there was a breach. The
result was complete victory foi
Billie Holiday.
La Holiday felt quite sure of
herself when she went on the stand
as her case rested in the capable
hands of the noted Los Angeles
barrister-Atty. Walter Lear Cor
don, Jr., who had managed to win
the main part of the case without
his client, before her arrival, ac-
cording to the Log Angeles Herald
Express.
Commutes By Air
The trial was originally set for
Feb. 9th, and Billie Holiday had to
cancel engagements in the mid
west, after completing very sue
cessful dates in Chicago and St
Louis. The trial finally began when
she was at the New Orleans Swing
Club, and she had to commute by
air daily.
She said that the air lines pilot
saw her so often that he told her it
would be cheaper if she bought her
own plane.
John Levy, personal manager of
Billie Holiday, who took no part
in the trial, as he had no connection
with her at the time of the suit;
but since, has steered her to great
success, is responsible for her vim
dication, it was revealed. He made
lit plain that he would spare no
money or effort in seeing that Miss
Holiday is properly defended, and
has everything for her protection.
This, case of many that sets a
precedent where colored artists are
often victims in legal tiffs with
white managers, in the courts; and
the INSCRIPTIONS methods are los
ing ground. The colored managers
have learned to fight back, thus a
new chapter in theatrical manage
ment or artists in the profession.

inquest into Carlisle's death was
called off.

old James r. Clark and 27-year-
old Doyle Mitchum, agreed to

ing grand jury action expected

Carlisle died Sunday from in
juries received while in Jail.
Sheriff ]. NJ. Abney said the
two policemen had told him they
struck Carlisle because he pulled
knife on them. Abney said the
officers claimed Carlisle fell off
bunk after they put him in a
cell.
The sheriff also said the police
men told him the Negro let the
air out of the tire because they
kicked him out of a dance Friday
night.

ing they were going to "tend to"
Carlisle. The warrants charge
them with beating the youth to
