"VOTES OF
APPRECIATION"

MINIS, FLORIDA, May 2 - In
a recent letter to officers and
members of Florida NAACP
branches, Harry T. Moore, state
executive secretary, emphasized
the great significance of the U. S.
Supreme Courts decision of April
9, which reversed the convictions
and death sentences of the Grove
land Boys.
The state secretary called at
tention to the fact that the
NAACP has been doing a grand
job for Florida Negroes. $50 Of
ten our people complain because
they cannot see where the
NAACP is doing anything in
their state or community" said
secretary Moore. eve should re-
mind our people that the Grove
land reversal is the End Florida
case won in the U. S. Supreme
court by the NAACP within the
past IL years." The Florida Off
ciaI then pointed out the fact
that in 1910 the Supreme c gu t
a victory in the Supreme Court

Pompano Boys. He also revealed
that just a few months go
NAACP lawyers helped to win

cision in the suit filed by Miami

A total of SO cases was listed
on the official docket for trial
Monday, April %, in Judge l.. E..
Thomas Municipal Court. AL
though no unusually sensational
case was heard, yet the long list
of trials was topped off with a
large section of DRINKS and
drunk and disorderly conducts,
which was usual for a Monday
morning docket, but a bit un-
usual in some respects on this
morning.
Probably the most pathetic trial
of the days hearings, was the case
of Godfrey Holmes, who was
charged with drunk and disor-
derby conduct by his sister, Mrs.
Shavers, who also explained to
the court that she reared young
Holmes since he was baby, and
regretted seriously the fact that
she was forced to bring charges
against him, but that she had no
other choice. Testimony during
the trial revealed that Holmes
apparently intoxicated, had come
home on the previous night,
knocked down one of his sisters,
insulted the other and in general
conducted himself in a manner
un-becoming a good brother. The
sisters were forced to call the
police for their own protection.
Of course, Holmes denied the
charges, claiming that he only
went about his normal routine at
home, but that his sisters appar-
emily had something against him
Judge Thomas gave Holmes a
fatherly warning in an effort 10
bring him back in line, and then
sentenced him to 80 days in Jail,
without a fine.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:
Walter Clarke, Charlie Fisher,
Thomas Days, Kirk Green, Julius
Wise, Arthur Butler, Miller Mar
tin, Alphonso Scott, Ephram KEEL
Iy. Edward Baker, Daisy Minis,
Reginald H. (Bearcat) Johnson,
Fred Robinson, Charles T. Ruth
erford and Willie Donaldson were
each charged with drunk or
drunk and disorderly conduct.
Walter Clarke, Rutherford, But
Ter johnson and Donaldson were
dismissed. The others received
fines and sentences ranging from
$40 or days to SIS or 10 days.
J. c. Grange, John Twiggs and
Buford Whitfield were each
charged with carrying concealed
weapons. Grange and Twiggs
were carrying knives; Whitfield
was carrying 80 revolver pis-
toll. Grange was fined $25 or 10
days. Twiggs received a suspend
ed sentence, and Whitfield was
fined SIS.
Albert Washington, Louis
Bradley, Hostin Fling and Henry
Hall were each charged with as
sault and battery. Washington

THOSE EARLY TEACHER : IN APPRECIATION
READING that Miss Medora Jackson was RECENTLY
honored, to mark her Al years as a public school teacher in
St. Croix, brought to mind the countless men and women all
over the world who have influenced oncoming generations
through the classroom, in relation of teacher and student
lhers has been an opportunity and privlege-and reward
that few persons can equal, even though others may enjoy
more head l~ne-making or higher paid positions.
SOME of these teachers have had extensive formal edu-
cation and have worked in school systems with fine BUILDINGS
and adequate budgets to prosecute their teaching programs;
many, many more have had limited training, measured BY
college degrees; have worked with meagre tools, by way of
physical facilities, and for small pay. In a very real sense, they
nave mad to make bricks almost without straw; they have had
TO substitute their zeal, their earnestness, their deep interest
in children, for the material things that were lacking. 1t is sur
prising-whether in the Virgin Islands, in the United States
or in Africa-how much and how we'll they have wrought
DOWN the years l have often thought, with deep graft
tude, of those teachers in ST. Croix, who might have left for
the bright lights and higher income of the mainland, but pre-
ferred to remain in the islands, making their significant con-
tribution in the development of young people. All of us owe
a great debt to them. remember how they used to find a way
to project ideas and include subject matter far beyond the re-
quirements OF the curriculum Of IS years ago, in order that
we might get the broader, deeper view Of the larger world,
a sense OF history, and an acquaintanceship with the methods
OF science (although there were no laboratories, them. | ap-

our mastering those foundation stones: spelling accurately

it has seen me through many a rough place, both within and
without college halls.

Charles HOgg On Trial
For Wife Murder; Fate
Still Remains Uncertain

/ Defense attorney Hoffman also
asked Mrs. Burris about any I'M
explained trips supposedly made
by her daughter The witness
stated she knew nothing about
one of them but said she learned
of one other from Charles Hogg.
Mrs. Foster A. Brown, daugh-
ter of the deceased told the court
room her mother and Hogg were
speaking, but there was GOODNESS
between them" She stated she
often visited her mothers home
because she admired her taste in
furniture and other things.
She stated she never noticed the
defendants dresser drawers where
his clothing was kept. Mrs. Brown
had lived with the Hogs before
her marriage to Foster A. Brown
The state rested its case against
Hogg after Mrs. Browns testi-
mony.
The defense presented a num-
Der of character witnesses in
Hogg's behalf. DR.. Charles j
Turck, president of Manchester
college, where the defendant was
employed said Hogg's reputation
for truth and veracity was ex-
Cellent DR.. Turck denied know
ing whether Hogg was a retired
U. S. postal employee drawing
total disability compensation.
Paul Hallett, %, a resident
senior at the college from Roches-
ter Mimi. told the jury that he
had known Hogg since the ac-
cused started working at the
school. Hallett, who works in one
of the schools dining rooms, said
he had daily contact with Hogg on
all days the defendant worked. He
had no complaint about Hogg's
work or had he ever heard Of the
defendant being violent or
threatening anyone. The reputa-
ton Of Hogg to Hallet was ex-
cellent-
other character witnesses pre-
scented by the defense were Bar
bara Lindenmuyer, 20, a junior
from Lake Forrest, Ill, said Hogg
was very helpful to US girls at
all times" She also stated the
mans reputation at Manchester
was very good.
Prosecuting attorney James
Lynch asked the young woman
what work she saw Hogg doing in
the basement. She said he was I'M
loading crates Of food supplies.
Lynch then wanted 10 know II
this type of work was very heavy
to do. Miss Lindenmuyer said she
didn't think so.

the character and reputation Of
Hogg as excellent.

April II. 1851

CARY committee last Thursday,
April IL.
Rather than accept a comprom-
mise that would have torn the
CUTS out Of the bill, State Senator
Gerald Mullin, Minneapolis.
agreed to let the bill be postponed
indefinitely.
After the first vote by the COM
mittee to conform the house bill
to the senate FEPC resulted in a
tie 1910, and the motion was lost
Sen. Grottum, Jackson, introduced
proposal that would have strip
ped the bill of its educational,
public hearing and penalty claus
es.
In refusing to accept Sen. Grot-
tum's compromise, Mullin said,
Il couldn't accept any other YER
sion of the bill because the senate
bill is the one that Is agreeable to
the groups supporting FEPC. And
1t is their opinion that this bill is
one that will best remedy the dis
criminatory practices in employ
ment in Minnesota" Mullin went
on to point out that the Senate
FEPC followed the pattern OF the
unemployment act.
Senator Mullin first moved that
the committee adopt the house
bill to conform TO the senate bill.
Sen. Johanson, Wheaton. made a
counter-proposal that each separ-
ate amendment Of the house bill
be voted on separately.
Johanson further proposed that
the first amendment be divided
into three parts. This amendment,
passed by the house made the bill
include all employers and domes-
tic, religious and fraternal organi-
cations.
The senate bill, which was orr
ginally recommended to pass by
the committee, excluded employ
ers of less than eight and domes-
tic workers, religious and frater-
nal organizations.
A. o. Sletvold. chairman of the
judiciary committee and one Of
the chief opponents OF FEPC. rul-
ed in favor of Senator Johanson.
Senator Gillen opposed this and
stated that Il think we should
vote on the whole in order to de-
bate the bill on the floor of the
senate"
Senator Rosenmeier, Little
Falls. said he would move for the
Grottum amendment after Grot-
tum refused. He went on to state
that he was opposed TO the house
bill but he wanted the principal
Of FEPC policy abolished in the
state and that no particular YER
sion Of the bill was perfected"
However he withdrew his pro-
posal when Mullin said that Il
was unacceptable. In doing so,
Rosenmier explained that he did
IL because he didn't want the bill
to die.
II was later learned that II
Grottum's amendment had been
accepted, the opposition had about
20 more amendments to introduce
on the floor of the senate.

DeHart Hubbard's address, de-
livered in informal fashion was
revealing, and applauded by the
audience.
Hubbard said, Banking and
real estate interests have made
low-rent housing developments in
many cities tough to build"
Stun clearance becomes diff
cult, he said, because the urban
redevelopment law passed by con-
gress requires that persons from
"slum-cleared" areas be provided
with new housing mo less de-
sirable" than the old from stand
point of nearness to shops, schools
and other facilities.
Housing on a low rent basis
is needed for this kind of reset
tlement," he said. with powerful
interests against it, responsibility
for action is on the community.
Raymond cannon, attorney, one
of the charter members and foun-
ders of the league and Clarence
CLANCY, past president spoke.
L. H. Bennett introduced the
speaker. Ashby Gaskins, acting
secretary, made a brief report
which was well received by the
crowd.
