money during one campaign to help
meet the agencies operating ex-
penses during fiscal 1852.
In explaining the change, Chest

Chest as a single agency, pro-
viding various types of community
services and having budgets to
meet certain community needs"
''The new name," he said, twill
point out that the function of the
organization is, and always has
been, merely to raise operating
funds for it's individual agencies,
which in turn, provide services to

Home Is Ruided

"Southern Exposure" who has been
rated the nations No. 1 Klan-
buster by none other than the
grand dragon, returned to his
home in st. Johns County, Florida,
last week to find that the Ku
Kluxers had raided the place, de-
stroying his files and stealing
everything, including the kitchen
sink.
Gaining entry to the premises
by attacking doors and locks with
an axe, the Kluxers, evidently en-
ragged to find that Kennedy's docu-
nentary> evidence against the Ku
Klux Khan had been put into safe
storage. proceeded to dump his
other files into a nearby creek.
Then they made off with every
thing removable = furniture, cleo
trio pumping system, citrus trees,
fence, and cup hooks.
Although the prevailing officer
i'll Klan circles is "$1, 900 per pound
for Kennedy's posterior, FOB, At
lanta," he has resumed resident in
the heart of xxx territory after
visit to New York to seek a pub
lished for his new book, "Jim Crow
Guide to the U.S.A.," written in
collaboration with Elizabeth Card
ner.
Arriving with his wife and son,
Kennedy found the turpentine
community rife with threats that
he would ''burn out' Qast year a
fire of Undetermined origin" swept
much of his property, but he sue
ceeded in putting it out before it
reached his dwelling).
Kennedy's colored neighbors and
some whites, however, have let it
be known that he is mot with
cut friends"
At the risk of having their credit
shut off at the general store, and
other reprisals, some had written
him of the open threats that "be-
cause he is for the rs, he'd
Better not come back"
The Kennedys are determined to
hold their ground, even though
they are having to sleep on the
floor, cook outdoors, and bathe in
the creek.
The raid has been reported to
the sheriff at st. Augustine, but
little action is expected from that
quarter since it was he who or
dered Kennedy's arrest last year
on an untenable charge under the
election laws. Kennedy's actual Of
fense was running as a Color blind
candidate" for the United States
Senate on the platform mot white
supremacy, but right supremacy"
At the time of his arrest he
narrowly escaped mob action, and
sentiment against him is still rum
ming high.
Florida is to get two additional
Representatives in Congress under

DIMAGGIO ASKED
TO CLEAR
REPORT

NEW YORK - (Global)-Joe
DiMaggio, the Yankee Clipper
for many years the star attraction
on the New York Yankee Base
ball team, is being urged by Har-
lem friends to speak out in ans
wer to the rumor that he has
stated fatty that, 81 will quit
the Yankees if the team acquires
Negro player"
Joe D. has been a perennial
favorite of thousands of Negroes
throughout the country who have
remained loyal to him and the
Yankees even though the club has
maintained an Indifferent atti-
tude toward Negro players.
''No one would advocate the
deliberate break up of any COM
bination on the team just to make
room for a Negro" said Garland
Jackson, Chicago business man
here for the World Series: What
we do object to-" he added "is
the fact that the Yankees are in
different to the idea of bringing
up Negro players to the big base
ball yard in the Bronx.
"It is we'll known that the
Yankees have for years been re-
garded, and have regarded them
selves, as the 'aristocrats' of base
ball, and their playing field as the
Park Avenue of SPORTS" jack
son said "The 'aristocrat' often is
more prejudiced than the bigot,
even if from other motives" \
AS for DiMaggio, another Chi
cagoan also here for the World
Series, feels that Joe owes it to
himself and the sport he repre-
sents to clear up the reports.
John D. Chamberlain, sports
man and head of an investigating
firm in the Windy City, said he
had been an ardent Yankee fan
for years, and that he greatly adj
mires DiMaggio.

"There is no reason why Dr.
Maggie should permit so brilliant
a career to be clouded by rumors
of personal bigotry on his part"
Chamberlain said.
"It would be better for him to
settle the rumors once and for
all. If he made statements at
tributed to him, he ought to be
willing to make them official as
other major league baseball play
ers have done. If the statements
are untrue, it is obvious why he
should deny them"
Continuing, Mr.. Chamberlain
said, "Now that Joe is talking
about quitting, it is necessary for
him to speak up to clear his name.
Whether true or not, should the
Yankees bring up a Negro soon
after he leaves, it will give much
credence to the charges against
him."

ISRAEL PREMIER DELEGATES
LARGE LIBRARY PRESENTED
BY DETROIT FAMILY

TEL AVN, (JTA) - Premier
David Ben-Gurion last weekend
dedicated a new library here, the
gift of Morris and Emma Shaver,
of Detroit, Mich. The new library,
Bet Berl, includes 10000 volumes
from the library of the late DR..
A. H. Friedlander, Hebrew edu-
Gator and scholar, of Cleveland.
In his speech opening the new
library, Mr.. Ben-Gurion said that
prior to the establishment of the
Jewish state, the Diaspora had
given and Israel had received.
Now, however, he said, since the
birth of Israel, the situation had
been reversed. IsraePs war of lib
Grafton, he said. had raised the
stature of American Jewry. Israel,
he added, had made three gifts
to the Jews of America-a sense
of pride, a consciousness that they
could become ''unhypenated"
Jews, and a link with their own
old country such as all Americans
have.
