Bruce Lightner To
Head Cancer Drive
Quota For Washington County
Set At SO, 9OO-Drive To Start
April l - Campaign Head
quarters Are Announced.

Victor F. Slime, chairman of the
Washington County Division of the
American Cancer Society, announced
on Monday that he had appointed
Bruce c. Lightner, prominent local
attorney, to head the 1850 Cancer
Drive, which gets underway on
April l. The quota for Washington
County is $4,000.
Mr.. Slime also announced that
headquarters for the Drive will be
set up in McCrory's and 10c store,
So West Washington Street.
Mr.. Lightner, secretary of the Ha-
gerstown Kiwanis Club for many
years, and treasurer of the Cancer
Society for the past two years, in
accepting the job of spearhearing the
Drive, pointed out that, unlike many
other drives that have increased their
quota from year to year, the Cancer
Fund quota has been steadily de-
creased each year. In 1913 the Wash
ington County quota was $4,000, but
despite the fact that the County
went over the top by more than
$1,000, the quota for 1949 was re-
duced to $4,000.
AS you will remember, Wash
ington County not only met that
quota, but exceeded it by $4,000 But
once again the quota has been re-
duced to $4,000 for this year.
These reductions in our quota, Mr..
Lightner and Mr.. Slime pointed out,
do not mean that the need for funds
is any less than it has been in pre-
vious years = as a matter of fact,
as we all well know, the need today
for research and treatment is great
err than ever. The reduced quota
simply means that the fund raising
quota for the entire state, which has
been the same for the past three
years, is being more evenly distri-
buted among the cities and counties.
So please be ready and generous
when the volunteer workers call on
you, SO that ample funds will be
available to fight this dread disease.

Although the Primaries are not

I've said so many times before, 1

Police Mix-Up Is
Caused By Raid On
Savannah Shop

SAVANNAH-Two raids on a

headquarters and evoked bitter
charges of political chicanery."
Police Officer. J. w. Clark began
the controversy when he raided
Lucky Teater's Smoke Shop at 405
West Broad Street, Nine citizens
members of the Peoples Demo-
cato league assisted Clarke in the
move and acted as witnesses
against the seven persons who were
arrested.
Forty-five minutes later a squad
of detectives arrived to raid the
establishment but found the smoke
shop locked.
Commissioner Butler charged i'm
mediately that the raid by Clark
was unauthorized. He said it was
made without the knowledge of
the police department which had
planned a raid for o'clock.
This was the hour, Butler claim
ed, when a gambling device known
as the wheel" was to be spun.
Butler said that "The Wheel" is
a comparatively new, but very popu-
lar, gambling device used in Saw
annah.
He explained that it is transfer
red to a house at a pre-arranged
time, hastily spun and then re-
moved quickly to prevent a raid.
Clifford Gordon, proprietor of
the Lucky Teater Smoke Shop, was
slated to be charged with selling
tickets for "The Wheel"

Confirmation OF
Hastie Hailed By
Walter White

NEW YORK, July 2O-Confir
nation of President Truman's ap
pointment of Judge William II
HASTE to the Third United States
Court of Appeals without a dis
senting vote was today hailed by
Walter White, NAACP executive
secretary, as "a significant for
ward step in the march toward full
democracy"
Judge Hastie's nomination, after
having been bottled up in Senate
Judiciary Committee for nine
months, was favorable reported out
by the committee on July IL with
only Senator James O. Eastland
of Mississippi voting against. Two
days later, on July 10, the Senate
confirmed Judge HASTE without
opposition.
SIN view Of the racist objections
of certain Dixiecrats in the Judi
ciary Committee, the Senate's
unanimous approval indicates full
recognition of Judge Hastie's ex-
ceptional abilities, integrity and
stature" Mr.. White said. "The
opposition to his confirmation with
in the Senate Judiciary Committee
stemmed from the racial prejudice
of some of the southern members
who sought to conceal their real
motives by raising false issues
long since discredited. In Judge
HASTE the nation has gained a
jurist of highest stature and one
Of whom the entire country may
we'll be proud"
Judge HASTE, a member of TIE
NAACP Board of Directors, has
served the nation as assistant
solicitor in the Department of In
terror, federal district judge in the
Virgin Islands, civilian aide to the
Secretary of War, AMI Governor
of the Virgin Islands. He was also
dean of the Howard University
Law School. In 1943 he was award
ed the Spingarn Medal "for his
distinguished career as jurist and
as an uncompromising champion of
equal justice"
