GE Pledges
Setting New
Chest Record

With only one-fifth of the drive
time gone, Robert P. Burrows,
chairman of the local GE Com
munity Chest drive, with head
quarters at Nela Park, waxed op-
timistic last night in reporting on
GE Lamp Department pledges to
date.
"The $3.50 of GE hourly workers
have already pledged as much as
all such employees gave for the
entire campaign last year." Mr..
Burrows said. "With four-fifths of
the campaign yet to co." he point
ed out, Subsequent pledges by
hourly workers will obviously be
Plus Pledges. +"
| "In so doing the GE hourly
folks are holding their own with
the lively pace set by the GE su-
pervisory group, 500 of whom
have already pledged 22eo more
than last year."
Mr.. Burrows indicated that this
important start is serving to stim-
ulate pledges on the part of 9TH
ers, rather than to invite coasting.
GE Chemical Products, Ivanhoe
rd., East Cleveland Lamp Works,
Noble I'd. and G. E. Wire Works,
Chardon rd., lead other laboratory
department segments in the Chest
campaign to date.
Eighty-four per cent of Chem
ical Products 100 employees have
signed up as givers. Of the 250
workers in East Cleveland Lamp
Works 66Tc have turned in their
pledges.
In third place of the GE orbit,
but coming fast to the fore, is the
Wire Works where $40 workers
show a record of 47qo in pledges
with just a day gone.

This Time John
Dis Dime Was
Not The Limit

"In view of the $4,000 dollars
already pledged, l will give 1000
dollars outright" signed, John d.
Rockefeller" This important state
ment appears written in pencil on
two slips of paper from his memo
pad. Those two slips of paper are
still in the records of the East
Cleveland Baptist Church.
Fifty years ago the East Cleve-
land Baptists were trying to get
together enough money to build a
church. They wanted to get away
from their "tinshop', now too
small. The first unit of this church
was to cost $4,000. Hhey were
able to get pledges for only $4,000
from their congregation, so they
appealed to a wealthy Baptist liv-
in East Cleveland's Forest Hill at
that time-John D. Rockefeller.
He responded generously.
Fortified by this gift, the con-
gregation bought a lot at the cor
ner of Rosemont rd. and Euclid
ave. and built their church, AS all
East Cleveland knows this church
has prospered and grown in the
ensuing fifty years. Additions were
made to the church building and
many members were added to the
rolls. They are proud of their build
ing, their fifty-year record and the
fine pastors they have had. The
present pastor, the Rev. Robert E..
Slaughter has served ten years,
and he and the whole congrega-
tion are planning big celebration
for their Fiftieth Anniversary, No
vember 5-12.

The site of the proposed new
Shaw gymnasium was given an
other airing on instigation of the
League of Women voters and
Shaw PTA Board. 1t took place at
Monday nights meeting of the
board of education.
The League and the board mem
bers, through letters and the
presence of representatives, ex-
pressed the belief that the school
board should adopt a long range
planning program that would
eventually acquire property ada
cent to Shaw. They further indi-
Gated that the proposed gym
should be erected on this newly
acquired site.
When the board of education
first started looking about for a
site for the needed Shaw gym,

little, the operating costs truly re-
fleet the cost trend everywhere
apparent.
An elector well might ask: "In
the face of these rising costs how
can the school board continue to
operate on the same eight mill
level. Why isn't it necessary to in.
crease this?"
To answer this question DR.. J. o.
Korb, superintendent of schools,
points to the school district evalua-
tion which has upped in the same
5-year period. In 1916 the evalua-
ton was $60,858,590. Today sit is
$70,837,910. The difference, plus
economical housekeeping while h
gets the best value out of every
dollar, makes it possible to continue
to operate on the eight mill levy
basis. That $568,O0o is the answer.
Vote "Yes" on the school levy re-
newal.

File Suit to Breuk

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va. -
(ATLAS) The University of
Virginia's defiance of the United
States Supreme Courts anti-seg-
regation decisions in the Sweat :
McLaurin cases was challenged
in the Federal District court here
this week when Gregory Hayes
school applicant, filed a complaint
and a motion for a preliminary
injunction against the University
in an effort to break down all
racial barriers at this institution.
The complaint and motion asked
the court to enjoin the University
from making any distinction, on
the basis of race or color,
in the consideration of the plaintiff
(Swanson) or any other applicant
for admission as a student to any
college, school, division or de-
partment of the University of
Virginia, upon the ground that any
such distinction, as made or ap-
piled with respect to plaintiff or
other Negroes similarly situated
on whose behalf he sues, denies
them their liberty and property
without due process of law, and
the equal protection of the laws,
secured by the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the
United States.

RICHMOND, Va. ATLAS
The traditional lily-white policy on
the waterfront of Colonial Beach
was challenged on August 5, when

women, including Martin A. Mar
tin, NAACP attorney, went to
the beach, and were permitted
access to the water However, after
the party had broken up, and Mr.
Martin had left the community,
with photographer making pic
lures of the group leaving the
beach. This precipitated clash
between Negroes and whites.
Plans for a follow-up party the
next day were abandoned on the
plea of Norman Brewington, Mayor
of Colonial Beach. Mayor Brew
ington made his plea after he had
been asked by Mr.. Martin and
Lester Banks, executive secre-
tary of the Virginia NAACP con-
ference, to provide police protec-
ton for the schedule swimming
party. While agreeing to an imme-
date postponment of the party,
Mr.. Martin said that the Negro

should have my tonsils removed,
but I can't afford it. AS a world
War II Veteran, can l have this
operation performed at VA hos
pital, even though my condition
is not service-connected?
A. Yes, if VA doctors deem sur
gerry is necessary and if you sign
a certificate stating you are not
able to pay for the operation. But
you will have to wait for a bed
to become available, for in VA
hospitals first priority goes to
emergency cases; second, to those

disabilities and third to those with
non-service- connected ailments.

Free Morket
Still Best

The coal industry does not
want government "aid' in the
guise of price-fixing or any other
sort of regulation. And if it should
be imposed, all concerned would
suffer, as precedent here and
abroad amply proves.
This country passed a coal
price-fixing act during the 30's
that was designed to put a floor
under prices which kept tie inef-
ficient producers alive and the
consumers paid for it.
In Britain, the prelude to social
ization was a similar scheme of
fixing prices SO that all producers
would be guaranteed a profit. AS
there was no competition, capital
was not spent for improved ma
chinery and methods. The high
cost, inefficient producer could
make as much as the efficient.
The war showed up the evils of
this. In America, with COMPETE
ton restored, tie soft coal indus
try increased production so per
cent. In Britain, where coal was
sorely needed, production dropped
by % per cent. These performances
were the result of a free compel
tive system on the one hand
and a regimented, non-competi-
tive system on the other.
The coal industry is far stronger
far more efficient, today than it
was at tie time of Pearl Harbor.
