What's Doing in the
 SCHOOLS
BY RUTH BINKLEY

When the school was built 15 years ago there were 135 students enrolled. It was thought at the time that the building was large enough to handle twice that many. and fl was not anticipated that the enrolment would increase so rap idly.
 The enrolment has not yet dou- bled-there are about 250 at pres ent-but the lack of room is sore ly felt. Classes are held in the laboratory and home economics rooms and in the auditorium. which are far from ideal class rooms. The auditorium is too small for large entertainments: the gym nas'um. besides being outdated is too far away to be a real part of the school and shower equipment is lacking: there is no office for the health nurse, and no storage space for paraphernalia That's few of the shortcomings.
 The new school building, or ad- dition. is still in the future-not too far, let's hope But it won't materialize this year The time ele- ment made it impossible to have preliminary plans drawn and ap- proved, and working specifications made up ready to be submitted for bids, before the beginning of the construction year which is March
 When the question of the bond issue arises the suggested sum may seem high, but let's not get cold feet over it. Most of it will be re- tired in about 20 years with our share of the tobacco tax, which is for schools only If we don't build, We don't get it. But let's try to look more than 15 years beyond the end of our noses and have the facilities we'll need later as well as now.

by reason of the fact that afiliat-
ed unions which supported Wal
lace insisted on their right to do
so on the basis of local autonomy.
National officers under Phil Muir
ray who supported Truman insist
ed that the policy ofthe national
office should be followed. The
s~quabble has eliminated recently
with the expulsion Of most of the
II unions from the CLIO.
This expulsion has had its dam
aging effect on the Negro people.
There is an old truism familiar
familiar to most Negroes: They
are the last to be hired and the
first to be fired. If ever there was
a time for working people to stick
together, it has been in the period
Of post war unemployment which
we are going thru now. In this
writer's opinion the energy of all
Negroes should be toward protect
ting the job gains that were made
during the war.
1t is an accent American heritage
that people can disagree on some
issues, yet agree on those issues
which it is to their mutual adj
vantage to agree on. Because I
am a Mason and another man is
an Elk does not mean that I will
not cooperate with him to prevent
another man from being lynched
by Ku Kluxers.
It is up to the GH&R workers
to determine their own course.
This writer would not attempt to
instruct them on how to vote. He
is remote from the scene. On the
other hand he would caution them
against needing the advice" of
other outsiders who have been in
jected into the picture. There have
appeared in other papers many
lavish, vague, unsubstantiated
arguments. The employees should
not allaw themselves to be split
on side issues. AS most Negroes
know it is strictly an issue of
bread in the mouths of their fam
lilies. This writer hopes that all
Negroes (and whites) will stick
together on this issue.

ST. LOUIS (ANP)- The St

week and voted about 9O-6 to
admit Negro physicians to mem

was not determined, but reports
were that the affirmative side
numbered between 80 and 100
against about six opposing.
Last February, the society in

Of racial discrimination. This mote
won by a unanimous vote of the
60 doctors present. However, the

CHICAGO CAMP Willie J,
Peters, 33-year-old owner of a
livery cab stand, had a field day
in shooting down the male mem
bers ofthe Moore family here last
week. Peters was formerly the
boy friend of Mrs. Lorraine Cal
ioway, 30, a sister of the Moore
brothers.
It was in a south side barber
shop where Peters had his fling
of killing two Of the brothers and
critically wounding a third. The
brothers, Saint Elmo, &c; Paul,
38, and Donald, %, walked into
the barber shop. One of them
placed his hand on the lapel of
Peters coat. Peters, thinking they
were crowding him, drew a pis-
toll and began shooting.
Saint Elmo, who c aught the
first bullet, was dead on arrival
at Provident hospital. Paul died
last Wednesday from wounds in
the abdomen and back of the neck
Donald was seriously wounded.
The background Of the killing
spree centered around a parting
of the ways between Peters and
Mrs. Galloway. The two had been
going together for about a year.
Mrs. Galloway used to answer
phone calls at the livery stand
which had offices in the barber
shop. She said a Woman telephon-
ed one day and told her she was
Peters wife and that the man
had four children. She said she
had not known him to be married.
She later told Peters about the
conversation and he denied he
