and the support" given him in
the dastardly act by many colorcd
"showfolks" actually begins TO
show Winchell's true character.
and is one of the most disgusting
episodes this reporter has ever
seen in journalism.
II may interest these same show
folks to know that since she has
been playing to packed houses in
America. Josephine Baker has re-
fused to walk on the stage of any
theater which did not have col
ored musicians in it's orchestra.
She has one coIOred musician
who IL under contract to her and
who travels with her all the
line but IN addition she has In.
sisted that the theatre hire at
least one other colOred musician
In the band when she plays.
They bucked her on this in Phil
adelphia and Detroit but she won
out, and in Chicago she had to go
to the offices of the all powerful
Petrillo himself to get results but
she went and won her case. If all
other colored people would stand
upon their feet and fight like
Josephine Baker does on her pref
ty shapely legs, picyanish people
like Walter WinChell wouldn't
have a leg to stand on!

Walter WinChell is a liar when
he says in his November 5 column
that Josephine Baker "duCked"
dining or shopping at colored
establishment in Harlem during
the Josephine Baker Day" celc-
bratiOn Miss Baker, in the com
pany of Lindsay White and Mrs
Bessie Buchanan took time out
from the busiest day of her life
and went to Etienne's Salon on
the Mezzanine Floor of the There
sa hotel and bought a beige raw
silk ensemble designed by Etienne
Johnson and a copper belt made
by Ralph Benson.
WinChell told another lie in the
some column when he said that
Miss Baker has not been to the
new Sugar Hill night club which
features Larry Steele's all-colOred
show. If Larry Steele was as en-
ergetiC about having the truth
told as he was about trying to get
a mention in Mr. WinChell's col

another telegram, stating that
Miss Baker did come in and catch
his show shortly after it opened
on Broadway.

that a continuation of the states

He was firm in his belief that

MississippI's Answer
Hugh White, who is next to SIT
in the governors chair in Missis-
sippi, reaffirmed his stand on
segregation. and that II 1t Is or

vert the public schools to a private

The convention. definitely out
to get Truman. accomplished its
purpose by electing Gov. Allen
Shivers Of Texas. TO head the Is
states which apparently will bolt
the Democratic convention in
1852.

Some IL southern Negro educa-
tors were among the II governors

met here on an unsegregated basis
and discussed problems Of region

There appeared to be harmony
among the conferees despite the
fact that the Negro leaders sat
elbow-to-eIbow with the gover-
nors, some Of whom are bitter
foes Of attempts TO end segrega-
ton in the south

Ashmore warned that If the
South is to prevent intermingling
Of the races by law, 1t must con-
slider that 1t should not be forbid
den by law.
The question Of segregation TO
any Southern office holder, he
said should be a matter Of direct
concern. for practical as well as
moral reasons.
In reviewing the relationship
between the two races, Ashmore
considered that 1t had been very
good" over the years, but that If
it is TO continue great respon-
sibility falls upon the dominant
whites, who control the sources
Of power in this region"
The tenor of these remarks fell
upon deaf ears as far as Cows.
Fielding L. Wright Of Mississippi,
James Byrnes Of South Carolina,
and former governor Willard F.
Caldwell Of Florida, now head of
civilian defense, were concerned.
Very definitely Ashmores re-
marks were not received with any
degree of complacency.

IF the South is TO effectively

ut is shocking to think that

It Is apparent, Mr.. Marshall
said, from the account OF the muir
der by Walter Lee Irwin. who
miraculously escaped death at the
hands of Mccall and from the
circumstances, that Mccall "de-
liberately shot and killed Shep-
herd and attempted TO kill Irwin In
order TO deprive them of the right
to a fair trial as ordered by the
United States Supreme Court
through the Florida Supreme
Court"
This action, the NAACP counsel
continued, involves not only muir
der and attempted murder, but Is
also " a direct affront TO justice in
this country and was aimed at de-
fiance of the u. S. Supreme Court
and the laws Of this country"
Up To Federal Government Now
The acquiesence Of the State Of

asserted. II the arguments of the

Paul Robson Is
Lost Shepherd"
Article Says

New York, Nov Negro
Americans see no similarity be-
tween Paul Robson, American,
who overcame the obstacles of
discrimination to win world &C
claim for his artistic accomplish
ments. and Paul Robson, Mos
cows No. Negro, who spouts
Communist propaganda as wildly
as Vishinsky," Says Robert Alan
in his article, Paul Robson the
Lost Shepherd" in the November
issue of The CRISIS, official or
gan of the NAACP.
How far Paul Robson has de-
parted from his former position
as one of Americas strongest
crusaders against racial injustice,
Mr.. Alan writes, was illustrated
by his startling declaration at
the Communist so-called World
Peace Conference in Paris in 1919
that American Negroes would not
fight in any war with Russia"
met with angry disapproval by
scores of Negro leaders in the
United States typified by NAACP
Secretary Walter White, who
said: Negroes contend for full
and equal rights and we accept
full and equal responsibilities. In
any conflict involving our nation
we will regard ourselves as
Americans and meet the respOn-
sibilities imposed on all Ameri-
cans"
How has Paul Robson served
the Communist cause in Ameri-
ca >" Mr.. Alan asks. The ev-
dence is" he says, that even his
magnetic personality has failed

out, the action was brought by

Ship case, the action was not
only against the sheriff who viola

Wife Charges Cruelty

A4NN al ~NA'N' AANh "tH'hAaN
having stolen my contention
of cruelty" Mrs. Ethel Sissle
Gordon, Wife No. 3 which the
spectacular Central avenue at
tOrney Walter l.. Gordon is in
the process of "shucking off,,
will be forced to bare what she
called the SadiStic sex" life
of her husband when she takes
the stand in her own defense in
their divorce trial, now in pro
greSs, she indicated to the
press today.
Providing veritable three-ring
circus, the Gordon divorce case
was in full swing this week, after
opening on Nov. 7, Mrs. Gordon's
birthday, to be continued to the
9th, and to proceed with scarcely
any interruption, or cessation Of
sensation this past week.
All signs point TO the trial, be-
fore Superior Court Judge Law
renee p. Scherb. in Dept. 81. con-
tinuing through the middle of next
week.
Although Mrs. Gordon's accusa-
lions of "sadistic sex" have large
ly been confined to dispositions
taken by attorneys in the case,
some pretty sensational de-
vclopments have already unfolded
in the trial.
Quite taking the breath of spec
tators, the Rev. Clayton d. Rus
sell, as spectacular a preacher as
Gordon is a lawyer, took the wit
ness stand this week in the law
yer's behalf to volunteer the in
formation that Mrs. Gordon once
accused him of having sexual re-
lations with her husband
In his testimony, the beefy
reverend, who has enjoyed the
activity In his church OF several
known police characters, en-
plOyed the common "fOur-Ietter'
word for the sexual act.
Mrs. Gordon told reporters
that she will testify to her hus-
bands habit of first beating her.
then making love TO her.
At least one OF the beatings, in
which Gordon allegedly knocked
his statuesque, ex-showgirl wife
through a plate glass window. was
testified to by socialite-actress
Camille Cannady.
When Mrs. Cannady, the wife
of a brother attorney of Gordon,
finished her testimony. the lawyer
stepped out of his role Of plaintiff
to become his own attorney, and
cross examine Mrs. Cannady in
his most melting tones, employing
the pretty witness first name and
referring to himself as Walter and
his wife as Ethel"
He tried to get the witness to
admit that she remarked after a
fight between the Gordons that
ne was lucky Mrs. Gordon hadn't
killed him with a bottle.
Instead, Mrs. Cannady replied,
mo, Walter, I said TO you, Ethel
Is lucky she didn't get her face
marred for life when you threw
her through that plate glass
window"
Gordon is represented by Cen
trail avenue attorney II. Leonard
Richardson; his wife by N. K.
Youngblood.
Among daily courtroom specta-
tors Is Gordon's second wife, Anne
mother Of his three children, and
frequently a courtroom adversary
Of the attorneys in her own and
her childrcn's behalf
The pair have sat side by side
frequently and have been noticed
comforting and nudging each
other.
