become naturalized today.
Mrs. Podnos, who lives at 121!
Crittenden street NV, told thi
story:
She was born an American cit.
izen in 1897 and in 1914 married
Alexander Podnos, a native O.
Russia. Mr.. PodnoS, who is in hi.
fifth year with the symphony, wa.
an alien at the time, waiting un.
til 1923 before adopting his Amer.
lean citizenship.
Thought Self American.
Through their SO years of mar
riage both took for granted that
Mrs. Podnos was American by rea-
son of her birth.
Six months ago, however. Mrs
PodnoS went before an immigra-
tion board to testify as witness
to help a European refugee gain
admittance to this country. She
had no sooner stated her qualifi-
cations as a witness when author
tiles told her that she, like the
refugee for whom she sought to
intercede, was not a citizen.
Under the immigration laws
then in effect, an American wom-
an who married an alien auto
matically assumed her husbands S
citizenship she was told.
"I stood with my mouth open
when they told me that" Mrs.
Podnos told reporters today.
"Then when they told me that I
was a Russian, that was the last
straw
Faced Deportation.
Incredible as it seemed to her,
she actually faced deportation to
Russia, but with her husbands
assurances to the contrary and
with prompt action to forestall
that eventuality. Mrs. Podnos had
smooth sailing in reaching her
objective today.
Mr.. and Mrs CiechanoWski pre-
ferred not to discuss their citizen
ship with reporters. 1--WE just
want to be quiet people," the for
mer Ambassador said.
Mr.. Ciechanowski, So, and his
wife. So, were married in 1921 in
London. That was three years
after he began his diplomatic
career in the Polish Foreign Office
under Ignace Jan PadereWski. Mr..
Ciechanowski became Polish Min
lister to the United States from
1925-29, and during the war
years served as Polish Ambassador.
An eutspoken foe of commu-
nism, Mr.. Ciechanowski resigned
his post in 1945 with a statement
that he refused to perform any
duties for the Communist govern
ment which had come into power
in Warsaw.
He now is a writer and lecturer
although he lists his occupation as
diplomat" They live here at
6205 Twenty-ninth street NV.
They have two sons. John, who
lives in England, and Stanislas OF
New York. A third son was killed
in a plane crash in Europe during
the war.

Delegation To
Virginia To Save
Murtinsville Seven

NEW YORK, n. Y. ~ A peo-
pies delegation to Virginia to save
the Martinsville Seven, innocent
victims of a jimcrow frame-up
now facing death in the electric
chair on February 2nd and 5th,
will meet in Richmond, Va, on
Tuesday, January 30, to urge
Gov. John Battle to stay the exc
cution and free the men.
In the call for the delegation,
the sponsors declared, "All over
America and throughout the world
the case of the Martinsville Seven
has become notorious as the latest
example of American govern
ment's cold war against its colored
citizens"
THE Negro people, and millions
of white Americans who are de-
termined to rid our country of
jimcrow, have learned from
Scottsboro down through the
Trenton Six, Willie MCGEE, and
1t. Gilbert cases that such legal
lynchings can be stopped only by
the aroused protest of the people. !"
The Martinsville Seven were al
legged to have raped a white wom-
an a year ago. They were convict
ed by an all-white jury in a
series of one-a-day trials. Twice
in 1850, national and worldwide
protests saved the men from death.
The call continued. 1--WE regard
the frame-up of the Martinsville
Seven as another vicious example
of official government policy of
enforcing jimcrow and segregation
Thorough terror and legal lynch
ings.
Twice the higher courts of
Virginia refused to reverse the
decision. Twice, the u. S. Supreme
Court, highest court in the land
refused to even consider their
appeal.
THAT growing Khan violence is
not confined to southern states is
evidenced by the Trenton case.
That it is not confined to state
governments is evidenced by the
1t. Gilbert case, one of 81 similar
Korea jimcrow frame-ups of inno-
cent Negro soldiers.
1--WE call upon freedom-loving
people, everywhere in these United
States, white and black, from the
North and the South, East and
West, to join with us in this dele

sponsible for these injustices be-
cause it was they who moved out
of the south into California,
gained control of the State Gov
eminent and planted the seeds of
discrimination, just as they do to
this day wherever they establish a
new home.
In the United States today, there
is little doubt that there are many
Communists who are seeking to
overthrow the government. but
had the provisions of the Consti-
tuition been carried out, if discrimi-
nation and segregation had ended
at the close of the civil war-as
the Republican party of that day
intended that it should be, and if
equality of opportunity had been
made the heritage of all Ameri-
cans instead of only some Ameri-
ems, we would not be bothered
with Communism today. The peo-
pie who brought it here would
have had no opportunity to even
introduce their Goddess theology.
1t is only in countries where GER
tain segments of the population
are denied the full rights of citi-
zenship that Communism can find
a favorable response.
1 said in a previous article that
our government can depend upon
its Negro citizens in this great
crisis. Not merely because we
have no other choice, but because
there is planted and anchored in
us an unalterable determination
to endure. Not only physically,
but to endure in the spiritual quail
tiles which mark the superiority
of man. We believe with all its
short comings that America is still
the best place on earth to live, We
want to live here and help make
it better piece in which to live.
We have the good sense to know
that to quit in morale and pur-
pose is destruction and that physi-
cal bondage or humiliation follows
mental and spiritual surrender.

VA BENEFITS PROVIDED
FOR KOREAN VETERANS

Legislation recently passed by
the Congress and signed into law
by the President now provides the
benefits of vocational rehabilita-
ton under Public Law 16 to GER
tain veterans of the fighing in
Kortea, according to a VA an
nouncement.
T The new law is retroactive to
June q, 1850. when the President
ordered our Armed Forces into
Korea. No date for termination of
benefits under the new law has
been set.
In addition to having had serv-
ice at some time after June II,
1850, the veteran who applies for
vocational rehabilitation must meet
three additional conditions:
1. Must have been discharged OF
separated under conditions other
than dishonorable.
2. Must have a service-connect'
ed. or service-aggravated disabili
ty, emitting him to compensation
even though he is not collecting
any because of retirement pay.
8 Must be in need of education
or training to overcome his physi'
cal handicap.
This is the first benefit orlgl
nally enacted for World War Il
veterans to be widened to include
men serving in the Korean cam
paign, the VA said. However, vet
Grams who suffer injury or disease
in line of duty in the present cam
paign may be entitled to disability
compensation at full-time rates
This holds true even though the
nation is not at war, because the
law provides for compensation al
war rates for disabilities suffered
in extra hazardous service

their lives in the Korean actor
also may be entitled to death com

Many Democratic leaders are
saying that now is not the time
for discussing partisan politics;
that it will be useless and harmful,
that sound action does not COM
monty arise during periods of
panic and distress, but that 1t
stems from reasoned consideration
of soberly gathered facts.
The trouble with the Democratic
party of America is, that in time
of peace it will not give proper
consideration to soberly gathered
facts. 1t has violated every princi-
pie of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, the Constitution of the
United States and the Bill of
Rights, wherever and whenever a
minority group perosn is con-
serned, and is more responsible
for the predicament that the
American people are in today than
all other factors combined.
We read daily of how the Chi
nese Reds are inspired by Commu-
mist Russia to help destroy the
world. I wonder if the Admins
tration at Washington has thought
of the probability that the Chinese
might also be inspired to fight
America because of a deep rooted
resentment for the ill-treatment
accorded Chinese in America over
a long period of years?
History reveals that Chinese in
America have been victims of Elk
clusion Acts, unfair immigration
laws, and discrimination and seq
regation second only to Negroes.
And these things happened over
the protests of the Chinese
Government; protests that often
were not even answered. The late
President Theodore Roosevelt. af-
ter the Boxer Rebellion, said, I'm

of excluding Chinese laborers,

Veterans who undergo advise
