can regime the first world war
brought about new ideas and con-
ditiuns when the Negro was draft
ed for service and fought for the
democracy Of all men Just as white
boys. The cry by president Viii
son was Make the world safe
for democracy"
When F. d Roosevelt took hold
of the helm in 1882 all was chaos
over the entire nation-hunger
stalked the land like a giant and
fear gripped the souls of all eX-
cept those who were looking for
the storm and had dug in.
Roosevelt began his reforms
that gave people of all classes
work to keep the wolf from the
door of thousands of good A
meTican citizens. Finance had hid
den itself in the caves and credit
had taken wings and fled the
earth, The Gee, PWA, NRA and
red Cross were the pastures that
and other agencies along with
afforded grazing for countless
thousands.
This gigantic act of relief made
friends that cannot forget the hand
that fed them, and as elections
came around Roosevelt was the
man and the only one that had
chance. He was the Chinese great
wall that kept out the heather of
starvation.
The president in the next war
introduced his FEPC which has
been a bone of contention since,
but the minority groups which
have gotten some of the demo-
cratic rule privileges they did
not enjoy before are saying dis
respect by minority groups was
caused by neglect from the Cop.

tons most wanted criminal and
object of an intensive manhunt
for five years, will be arraigned
today for a $63,942 New York
band holdup.
The slusive Sutton, an expert
in DISCUSSES and escape artist par
excellence, also is scheduled to be
quized by the FIJI about the UNI

robbery in Boston in 1850.
He will plead to charges of third
degree burglary and first degree
robbery, grand larceny and assault
in connection with the March 9,

pany.
A few hours after Sutton was
captured yesterday two employees
of the bank picked the nations
most notorious bank robber out

in crime annals.
