Matthews Law Firm
Closes $4,000 Deal

! 1t was announced today from the
/ law office of Reginald Matthews

Reginald Matthews, who heads
1.-THE law firm which handled the
$4,000 deal for Bates, was an
it"m of news himself recently
when he was chosen by the Cal
vert Distillers Corporation for
their outstanding advertising Sc
ries of Successful Men"
Graduated from Oberlin College
with degree in Economics, Mat
thews made much-publicized
study Of the Relief Administration
in Cleveland. Later he majored in
Constitutional Law at Howard Uni
versity.
During the war, Reggie Mat
thews became known as special
list in The appraisal of security
matters, particularly where they
contained racial or labor implica-
tions-and he was soon serving
Army Intelligence, Naval Intelli-
gence, the F.B.I. and such related

| ment. After the War he was i'm
mediately employed by the State

matters. In the five years since
he first hung up his single, the
Matthews law office has become
one of the most prominent of its
kind in New York.
1t was this success, as we'll as
his impressive background, that
led the makers of Lord Calvert to
select Reginald Matthews as a
Successful Man"-one who has
made a mark for himself in his
chosen profession

UNITED NATIONS
NOTES
BY JAMES X. LAWSON
Accredited UN Correspondent

| UNITED NATIONS, N. Y
(GlobaD = EAST AFRICA-Some
of the trouble in Kenya, where the
British declared a state of emery
ency and jailed $50 suspected mem
bers Of the Mau Mau, hard core
of African National terrorists,
springs from the same wave of I'M
rest and nationalism that has
swept all of Africa from Morocco,
/ Tunisia, Algeria, Eritrea, Gahan-
ma Gold COAST and South Africa.
Jomo Kenyotta, leader of the Ken
va African Unions, has also been
jailed in an attempt to stop this
fight for freedom and independ-
ence This desk has been informed
that if Kenyotta is not released, q
full scale revolt is in the making
in Kenya that Will cause all Africa
to catch fire.
CENTRAL AFRICA-In the AS
sembly's Trusteeship Committee,
considering information from non
self-governing territories, DR.. Jose
Ingles of the Philippines, said that
a proposed federation of Central
African States, sponsored by Brit
ain, is opposed by the Africans who
constitute 81 per cent of the popu-
lation, and that the plan would
hand them over to the ''tender
mercies" of 100000 white settlers
whose anti-African behavior is cal
ready notorious" H. L. d'A. Hop
kinson, British Minister for Colon
ial Affairs, answered that the plan
will be in the interest of all At
ricans, Europeans and Asians in
the territories and that since it
is still in the discussion stage, de-
bate on the proposal is premature
now.
NORTH AFRICA-A temporary
irrigation of French-American re-
lations at the UN sprang up on
Wednesday when the United Ma
tions joined thirty-three other
countries in voting a high priority
on the agenda of the Assembly Po-
litical Committee for the Asian
African charges against French
administration of Tunisia and Mo
rocco. Analysis of the vote dem
onstrated it was very unlikely that
the American attitude turned the
decision against the French. How
ever, French spokesman, who
strongly denied the right of the
UN even to- discuss French colonial
questions, said they had reason to
expect the Americans would favor
delay in opening the Tunisian-
Moroccan debate, and they didn't
conceal their anger. The debate
is to begin as soon as the commit
tee completes discussion of Korea.
STAFF-The investigation by a
Senate Internal Security sub-com-
mittee of the possible presence of
alleged American Communists in
the UN had a direct effect on the
world organization on Wednesday,
when Secretary General Trygye
Lie fired one American employee
of the UN, suspended another and
placed ten other on special leave"
for refusing to answer certain
questions put to them by the sub
committee about their activities.
The UN also announced that Mr..
Lie is selecting panel Of "emi-
nent jurists" from various coun-
tries, including the United States.

Governor Dewey

NEW YORK (GlobaD Gov

measure expanding the powers of
the State Commission Against Dis
elimination. Originally established
to curb discrimination in employ
ment, the Commission now has had
its scope widened to include under
its jurisdiction discrimination in
restaurants, hotels, theatres, re-
sorts and similar places of public
accommodation.
Although in New York, officials
dort refer to the anti-bias law as
nm FEPC. it is generally regarded
as such elsewhere and its function
s essentially the same as is sought
in FEPC legislation.
In signing the bill, Governor
Dewey said the new law is zone
of the significant accomplishments
of the 1852 legislature"
Under the new law, entry into
hotels, restaurants, etc, may not
be denied on the grounds of race

1.-THE vicious practice of bombing
the homes of Negro citizens" he
continued, lis a lot more repugnant
to American sensibilities and ideol-
ogy-or at least should be. More
over, the seven states of Florida
Georgia, Alabama, Texas, North
Carolina, Illinois and California are
a lot nearer, dearer and familiar
to most Americans than the Katyn
Forest of Poland"
Mr.. Hudgins assumed in his let
ter that the only benefits that will
be derived from the House probe
will be to establish an historical
fact and provide "grist for the
American propaganda MILL"
He asserted that it is both an
historical as well as present-day
fact that Negroes have been and
are being ruthlessly inundated in
spite of the protection guaranteed
under the Constitution. He con-
tended that Communist propagan-
dists are using this fact, "and ev-
cry violent confirmation of it, to
refute in the minds of the world
the sincerity of our claims about
democracy"
Without disparaging the present
investigation, Mr.. Hudgins said he
believes that an inquiry into the
abridgement of guaranteed rights
in the United States would have
these specific advantages:
Establish consistency between
American practices and ideals;
perhaps curb a vicious new trend
in anti-racial violence; and begin
to remove from the hands of our
foes (meaning Russia) one of its
most potent propaganda weapons
-anti-Negro feeling in America. y

Irwin Breaks
Ankle During
Exhibition Game

Denver - The New York Giants
suffered a deadly blow Wednesday
when Monte Irwin, star left fielder
ran into serious trouble as result
of dislocating his RICH ankle while
sliding into first base during an
exhibition game. The game was be-
ing played with the Cleveland In
dians. Irwin suffered a compound
fracture from the incident which
might develop into further serious
complications.
So serious was the incident that
Irwin is expected to be out of play
ing position for the entire season.
In the event that he does come
back, it is expected that he will be
of little use to his team.
1t is reported that Irwin was
treated at local hospital in Den
yer for the injury: 1t was planned
that he would be taken home with
in a few days.
The Irwin incident was a remind
er in the Spring of 1947 when
Whitley Lockman suffered similar
injury. The Giants were again the
losers.
The loss of Monte Irwin will be
a far greater loss than that of
Lockman back in 1947. Monte Irwin
was being banked on by Durocher
and other officials as the one who
would slug them into another pen
nant.
