WAS FLATTERED

Young people, for all their new
ideas, do appreciate old-fash-
Toned goodness in a meal. 1 had
my two small grandchildren for
dinner the other day and, as a
treat, served them chicken soup.
"Say, Grandma" said Jean,
this is a delicious soup. 1 hope
someday I'll cook as well as you
do"
Flattered as 1 was, 1 answered,
tits really quite simple, Jean.
This is Campbell's Chicken
Soup -. so delicious, as you
say, because CampbelIs make
it with fluffy rice, so full of deep
chicken flavor, and plenty of
real chicken, slow-simmered to
a rich golden broth"
Just then, little Billy, who
hadn't stopped eating all this
time, spoke up. More please,
Grandma"

ENGLISH WRITER THINKS u. S.
NEGROES SHOULD SPEARHEAD
FIGHT AGAINST COLONIALISM
Says Heart OF Western Europe Is
Rotten Is Opposed To i. S. OF Africa
Says Color Bars Should Fall All Over World

LONDON, Jan. 2 - (ANP) -
Now is the time for Afro-Ameri-
cans to be heard. to become active
in the destruction of colonialism
throughout the world. This is the
moment because Europe whose,
society rests upon colonialism
needs help from America.
The heart of western Europe IS
rotten. Nations in this area must
rely to great extent upon their
colonial empires for raw mater
ials. France depends upon her
colonial empire for troops to hold
other parts of her colonies. Great
Britain easily could be deprived of
food. raw material and oil bv
hlockades at the sources of supply
as we'll as by bombardment of her
ports. She would be a useless
ally after the first week of a war
on this basis.
The colonial empires are in ter
rible state. All of them depend
upon outside sources for oil. These
nations are not truly part of
the free world, but are more a
part of the slave world. Colonial
areas appear to be part of a slave
world, and have no hopes of being
developed bv their owner.

RELEASE STATE NEGRO VET HELD IN OHIO
federal JUDGE REFUSES TO
HONOR FUGITIVE WARRANT
ISSUED BY MISSISSIPPI COURT
Hit Issuance OF Warrant By Local Agent
ALLEGED RAPIST RELEASED
ON HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE

TOLEDO, o., Dec. 20 Especially
u. S. District Court Judge Frank
l.. Koleb refused to sign removal
papers for the return of Curtis W.
Hopkins, Jr., 30, to Mississippi on
a federal fugitive warrant here
last week. Hopkins is wanted in
Jackson. Miss. on a charge Of rape.
In refusing to sign release pap
ers. the iurist noted that the is
suance of the federal warrant
might be unconstitutional after ex-
tradition of Hopkins had been de-
MED bv the state of Ohio.
Hopkins had been held in Lucas
county Jail under $1,000 bond.
Judge Kloeb reduced the bail to
$500 and released the wanted man
on his own recognizance.
Hopkins was arrested on a u. S.
Commissioner Barron c. Ricketts,
in Jackson, Mississippi. The COM
plant charged that Hopkins "Fled
the state of Mississippi to Toledo
Ohio to avoid prosecution for the
crime of rape, in violation of the
federal fugitive felon act-1948.'
At the recent Pre-trial confer
ence, Judge Kloeb told representa-
tives of both sides of the case that
he had no intention of signing
the papers." He held the opinion
that Mississippi officials. deter
mined to "get" the man. resorted
to the federal fugitive law in an
effort to get federal court of Ohio
to do what the governor refused to
do.
szs's0 It iSascustomary for
federal courts In one state to return
wanted man, under the federal
fugitive law, without question to-
another state to have the case dis
posed of in the State seeking the
man. However, in this instance, it
was apparent that the federal sta
tute had been invoked only a sub
terfuge to get Hopkins back into
the state. The attempt to circum-
vent due process of law was taken
after Gov. Lausche of Ohio had re-
fused eXtradition requests).
He pointed out that the statute
under which action was brought by
the government against Hopkins
was designed to curb racketeering
and sis not intended to supercede
state Extradition laws.
The Judge said any further ac-
ton in the case must be decided by
the U. S. Attorney generals of
flee in Washington.
Hopkins legal representative
were Atty. Clarence G. Smith, and
Jesse S. HesGp, a native of Mis-
sissippi and graduate of Jackson
