sidering a joint campaign tour with AL President Will

Mr. Frazier Reams
Alb Madison Ave.
Toledo, Ohio
Mr.. Reams:
Before me a communication
is spread appealing for support
in your endeavor to be the 9th
Congressional District of Ohio
Representative.
I am answering this person
ally by reason of our past
friendship and the fine coop
Grafton / personally received
from you while you were We'll
fare Director of the State of
Ohio.
| will enumerate the various
reasons why we will not support
you.
Cd Your printed stationery
does not carry the Union Label,
such Label should be the first
indication that you want Union
Labor support.
(2) 1t appears very evident
to us that you did not enter the
primary because you felt you
could not be nominated by pop
ular vote.
(3) Before you formally be-
came a candidate for Congress,
we sent you a night letter as
follows:
1.-THE possibility of your be-
coming a candidate for Congress
from the Ninth Ohio District was
discussed at the regular meet
ing of the Toledo Central Labor
Union, August 3, 1850. The dele
gates voiced their opposition to
such a belated political man.
euver by unanimously indorsing
the Honorable Thomas Burke
for the Office he now holds
and unanimously pledged their
support for his reelection"
You ignored this communica-
ton completely. Why?
If elected to Congress you will
be a Congressman without a
party. Consequently you will
not be a member of any of the
important Congressional Com
mittees.
(5) You state that you are
prepared TO speak out in the
interest of our District. How
can you do that when you will
be politically isolated from any
party undertaking. Further you
state that a Congressman who
is unfiltered from the influence
of bosses and factional interests
will be better able to serve the
people in this critical hour.
/ ask you from whom or what
source you r getting your
support? Answer please for the
record.
Very Truly yours,
r. j. Flory, Secy.

Coop Bread Battles
For Govt Recognition

WASHINGTON (LPA)-The
Cooperative League Is continu-
ing its fight to induce the Food
g. Drug Administration to le-
galize Coop Triple Rich Bread
The FDA has published It's
new bread standards which are
SO worded that Triple Rich may
be excluded from the market
unless the FDA amends them
or unless the Cooperative Lea
que can find a new classltlca-
ton for its product.
Deputy Commissioner Charles
W. Crawford of the FDA says
the government agency has
nothing against Triple Klch,
but doesn't have enough infor-
nation about it to justify re-
writing the standards. AS mat
ters now stand, Triple Rich can
not be classed as either bread"
or white bread"
However, Crawford says there
is "a splendid chance that the
standards will be revised pro-
vided full evidence on Triple
Rich is presented to the FDA.
The agency has extended the
time in which objections to its
announced standards can be
filed. The Cooperative League
has until Nov. 8 to argue its
case.
Triple Rich is now being eat
en- by half a million Americans.
School lunch authorities in
New York, Baltimore, and other
cities have adopted it for chill
drens S h meals. In New
York e, five big baking
companies r making 1t for
the schools. Staff members and
inmates of New York state
mental institutions r eating
the bread. Pepperidge Farms,
makers of choice bakery prod
ucts, contemplates building a
new plant to produce it.
Nevertheless, if the FDA's
bread standards go into effect
in their present form, the bread
will be outlawed in interstate
commerce and within the states
as we'll if the states themselves
adopt the federal standards as
their own, according to Wallace
Campbell, Cooperative League
secretary. Crawford is not so
sure it will be outlawed.
Triple Rich is made with un-
bleached flour, 2 percent wheat
germ, 8 percent milk solids,
and 8 percent high fat soy flour.
It looks like ordinary white
bread, but, according to nutri-
ton experts, it tastes better and
has greater nutritional value.
Triple Rich was developed by
DR.. Give McCay of the Cornell
University School of Nutrition
and by the Ithica (NY) consum-
er cooperative.
The new federal standards
limit the content of soy flour
TO 3 percent in white bread, OF
wheat germ TO 1h percent. On
the other hand, to be classed as
specially" soy bread, a prod
uct must have a soy content OF
at least 10 percent. The techni-
calities leave Triple Rich right
In the middle-and may deprive
the eating public of a better
product than they normally eat.
Campbell contends that Triple
Rich is white bread, whatever
the FDA says. He also points
out that the bread Is so COM
pletely labeled that a customer
would always know what he's
buying.
DR.. McCay has testified in
favor of Triple Rich when the
FDA held hearings on the pro-
posed stand r d S. However,
Campbell says that much of this
time wa taken up with a dis
cussion of bread in general. The
Cooperative League wants him
to come to Washington again to
plead his case.

ate-Wide Manhunt
Conducted in Virginia
For Last Of Escapees

A Statewide hunt was on today
throughout Virginia for Robert L.
Miller, 81, only one still at large
of five convcits who broke out of
a Culpeper road gang Wednesday
Road blocks were thrown up last
night on roads leading south from
Washington after Alexandria po-
lice received mysterious report
that the fugitive had hijacked a
green Packard sedan at the south
end of Highway Bridge. No such
car was turned up by the alert
and the report is believed to have
been false, police said.
To be on the safe side, however.
"a general alarm was sent out for
Miller, who was last seen in
Georgetown Wednesday night. At
the time he was with another of
the convicts, Ernest Walden. 25.
later captured by a Fort Myer
Army officer.
Two more of the fugitives were

ties in Alexandria and Norfolk.
They were Walter w. Blair. ~23,
colored. self-styled master-mind
of the Culpeper break, who called
from drugstore in downtown
Alexandria to give himself up, and
Matthew Riddick. 26, colored,
nabbed by Norfolk postal author
tiles on a tip. Riddick has been
identified as the man who shot a
guard in the leg during the break.
The other member of the Cul-
peper gang. Curtis B. Fultz, %,
was retaken by police few hours
after his escape.
In addition, Washington police
were searching for James Zollo.
%, one of two men who escaped
from State prison farm near
Goochland. Va, Wednesday. His
companion in the break, Richard
Poteet. %, gave himself up near
Fredericksburg.
The intensive manhunt for the
fugitives led to the arrest yester-
day of a man who turned out to
be an escaped convict. although
not from one of the recent breaks.
He was identified as Charles NAL
lory, 35, of Charlotte, N. c., sought
since October 16 as fugitive from
road gang near Narrows, Va. He
was picked up by Alexandria police
on trespass charge while walking
along the r. F.. & P. Railroad

Court 10 Hear Petition
OF 7 Condemned Men
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. ga
special session of the Virginia Su-
preme Court of Appeals has been
called for II am. next Friday to
hear a petition for writ of error
filed for seven Martinsville men
sentenced to die for rape.
| The special session was called
by Chief Justice Edward w.
Hudgins at the request of Martin
A. Martin, counsel for the seven
men, all negroes, four of whom
are to be executed November II
and three on November 90
The petition filed with the clerk
of the Supreme Court on October
10, asks a reversal of a Richmond
city Hastings Court order deny
ing petitions for writs of habeas
corpus for the seven.
1t contends that white men
have always enjoyed an immunity
from the death penalty for rape
in Virginia and that such penalty
has been imposed solely upon
Negro men convicted of rape
upon white women"
The next regular session of the
Supreme Court begins on Novem-
Der 20. However, any member of
the court may grant appeals. The
special session was called to allow
all members of the court to hear
the petition.
| This is the second time the
State Supreme Court has had the
Martinsville case. Last summer
it unanimously affirmed the Mar
tinsville city Circuit Court con-
Ivictions in the spring of 1949.
| Following the State courts ac-
ton, an unsuccessful effort was
made by Mr.. Martin to have the
United States Supreme Court re-
view the cases. When this failed,
counsel for the seven men petit
toned the Richmond Hastings
Court for writs of habeas corpus,
charging that the death penalty
in rape cases was reserved solely
for Negroes.
