next summer.
"Taft's speech embarrassed
every northern self-respecting Ne
gro Republican who had rallied to
the Taft banner" said another
COP eff Taft receives the Repub-
lican nomination, every Negro who
backs him will appear as an out
right Uncle Tom to his people,"
However, Third Ward Air. Archi-
bald Carey, Jr., 1850 candidate
for Congress on the Republican
ticket, desired to be publicity
quoted He declared:
81 have not made up my mind
as to a Presidential candidate in
1862, but | can assure you it will
not be Sen. Taxi.
81 do not like to pain my fellow
Republicans by making statements
that will doubtlessly pain them.
But at the same time, / don't like
for them to pain me, such as the
one attributed to Sen. Taft when
he indicated that the Federal gov
eminent should not attempt to
abolish the system of racial seq
regation in the south.
81 have been cagenial to Sen.
Taft's candidacy because | felt that
he is one of the best informed
men in government and his chang
ing outlook favoring public hous-
Mig and aid to needy peoples of the
world indicated his capacity for
growth. But if he feels a system
of racial and color segregation
should remain in any part of the
United States | do not think he is
ready to be President of the
worlds leading Democracy"
Another influential Negro COP
here in the nations second largest
Negro voting province declared:
eff Taft is the nominee, Negroes
will be presented the sad choice
of voting for a man who admit
tedly favors Jim Grow and Demo-
cratic candidate who feels the same
way but would never admit it."
Oddly enough, another promi-
nent Negro in the South Sides
bullying second ward averred:
Negroes are partly responsible
for the Republican dilemma on the
Negro question. We have con-
WINGED the Republican party that it
is waste of time to fight for the
Negro vote because we have been
sold lock, stock and barrel to the
promising Democrats"
One ancient Negro COP laid the
Taft blunder to "Taft honesty"
But, he added, "Since Wendell
Willkie, the Republican party has
gone overheard in trying to ap-
pear pure and honest"

rights.
Addressing 600 industrial, civic
and business leaders, Mr.. Ford
said:
1--WE at Ford would be the last
to underestimate the value of mass
production techniques ana the part
they play in making possible for
more and more people to have, use
and enjoy the good things in life.
"But we see every day emphatic
evidence that Americas true great
ness stems primarily from its men
and women, not only from the men
of technical genius, but the thou
sands of others who bring with
their hands and minds reality to
the vision of the technical genius.
1t lies in the cooperation of the
men and women who guide the
machines and who have learned to
live together and work together
not solely in mass production but
ia the ability of Americans with
respect for one another as human
beings"
Fair Employment More
Than Catch Phrase"
Mr.. Ford declared that sin a
single manufacturing establishment
where from 10000 to $4,000 per-
sons work to turn out single
product, "fair employment for in
stance is something more than q
catch phrase. At the River Rouge
plant lin Michigan it means spec
tally that nearly $4,000 Negroes at
work in any one industrial plant
in the world
cat the Rouge plant "fair en-
ployment" means that we employ
men of every national origin. Jobs
are assigned and men are hired on
a basis of competency not because
of other miscellaneous considera-
tions that have no bearing on g
mans ability to work"

GAS we build up our military
strength to secure the free world
from aggression" President Tru-
man wrote, 1--WE must be equally
diligent to strengthen the moral
and spiritual life of our Armed
Forces. The struggle in which we
and our allies are engaged is, as
the Apostle Paul so aptly put it.:
Against the rulers of the dark
ness of this world" To keep such
darkness from our nations, we
must be constantly alert to those
spiritual values on which our coun-
try was built.
81 commend the efforts re-em-
phasize those truths that you and
your colleagues in the clergy are
making"
General Marshall lauded the
evangelistic program "for its eff
fective efforts to bulwark the
spiritual strength not only of our
men under arms but of the nation
as whole. "
wherever freedom has been en-
joyed in this world" the general
wrote, sit was established by men
who overthrow tyranny or broke
the chains of slavery by the power
they derived from spiritual streng-
tn. In this time of world crisis,
spiritual strength again must be
the foundation upon which we
build the power to maintain free
dom by repelling the evil which
seeks to destroy it."

lumhia, the high court continued
the case on its docket to await the
outcome of the case in the appeals
court.
Justice William o. Douglas dis,
sented but did not state his views
1t is believed that he took the view
that the high court should have
disposed of the case by ordering
the District Court to convene a
special three Judge court, to vacate
the order dismissing the complaint.
and to consider the case on its
merits.
George E. c. Hayes, one of the
attorneys who took the case to
the Supreme Court, saw in the de-
cisiol of the high court a warning
that the matter is one in which
the court is disposed to grant a
review.
1T looks like what the court is
saying is that one of the issues
raised as to the jurisdictional prop
os1tlon is whether or not Acts of
Congress having to do with the
District of Columbia as such are
not what they would be called
upon to give a three-judge court
Tor and whether that is true or
not, the matter is before the Courts
OF Appeals and, therefore, thew
are simply holding the matter be-
lore them abiding the decision of
the Court of Appeals" said Mr..
Hayes.

CountY's Initiol
IndustrY-Health
Inspection Approved

Official approval of the first in
dustry- county health program here
was given recently when the
Ohio department of health and the
u. S. Public Health Service Off
cially recognized the Nestles milk
plant inspection program with the
county department of health.
w. D. Cunningham, milk in
spector for Nestles, stat e d
that the milk inspection in con-
nection with the department of
health is the first example of in
dustry working through the coun-
ty health department to effect
better milk production.
Ever since last October, Mr..
Cunningham has been checking all
of Nestles fluid milk for grade A
testing. "Nestles has one of the
highest ratings of any plant in the
state" he said.
Nestles has a special contract
with the county, whereby the plant
pays the county a specified sum
which in turn is used to hire the
needed personnel to make the milk
inspections.

Chicken Theft
Arrests Made

Four alleged chicken thieves
operating in Union and Franklin
counties, are now under custody in
Franklin county. The four suspects
are Eliza Mattox, 10, John Buskirk.
%, Cecil Buskirk, 25, and Millard
Jordan, 90. The Buskirks live on
Phillip road and the other two on
Mix road, Columbus.
More than 1000 fowl are re-
ported to have been stolen, loss
of hundreds of dollars to farmers
in the two counties. There is a
possibility that affidavits against
Mattox and Jordan may be filed in
this county, according to Sheriff
Walter Galloway.
Chickens began being missed
from Union county last week, the
first report being from the Frank
Shaffer farm, on.Route 43 north of
New California. Also bag of feed
was stolen.
Friday night, SIS head of White
Rocks were stolen from Judson
Orren Moreland, Plain City Rt. 8.
Sunday night, 80 were stolen from
the Howard Mack farm on the
Hudson road near Watkins off
Route az.
Apparently not content with one
lob, the thieves allegedly entered
the farm of Mrs. Harold Shipe,
Plain City Rt. 3 east of New Cali
fornia and lifted 100 biddies.
Chicken thieving had also been
going on in the surrounding coun-
ties in the meantime, and Sheriff
Galloway was working in coopera-
ton with Franklin county sheriff S
deputy Paul Stormont. The two
officers received a tip that John
and Cecil Buskirk had chickens in
the basement of their home. Fol
lowing this lead, the sheriffs also
discovered Mattox and Jordan
were accomplices, and arrested
the quartet Wednesday.
They were arrested when the
officers traced them through Ii
cense numbers furnished by whole
salers to whom they had sold fowl
The ring operated at night and
drove to various outlying farms
where they stole the chickens from
their roosts. They then found a lu-
crative market with wholesalers
who did not know the fowl were
stolen, Stormont said.

To Produce Gifts
For Foreign Children

The Tide of Toys" campaign,
sponsored by the local Legion
Post failed to collect a single toy
for children, according to Herb

"This year, the tide of toys

people didn't seem to remember
to give old toys" he said.
Last year the Legion collected
a box full of toys and the rail-
road shipped them free of freight
charges to ports for overseas
shipping.
"We will have to drop the toy
campaign for this year." Mr.. Bal
liet continued. "The toys had to
be collected by the 10Th of this
month in order to get them
ready to ship by the goth.

London Hangs On
TO Second Place

London high school kept close
on the heels of pace-setting
Marysville in the Mid-Six League,
Tuesday evening, as the Raiders
defeated Worthington 49-45, on
the losers court.
The Monarchs, of course, kept
their league record unblemished
by handing billiards a 60-49 de-
feat, while Grove City moved out
of the League cellar by defeating
Westerville, 1887. And that leaves
Westerville without a league win,
to date.
There will be three more
games in the Mid-SiX League Fri
day night. Marysville will go to
Grove City to meet that steadily
improving team, Worthington
plays at Westerville and billiards
will go to London.
