A civil suit with James T. Ward
law, 6717 43rd Ave. So. former
Minneapolis Urban League secre-
tary as plaintiff and the League
as defendant for $500 salary
Wardlaw claimed was due him,
on a contract, was settled out Of
court last week for about one
third of the amount asked.
BY the terms OF the of court
settlement the plaintiff received a
sum of about $500.
Wardlaw was dismissed from his
post as Urban League secretary
in March 1861. In his suit he
claimed that he had q contract
which entitled him to receive sal
airy for a full year. The board had
previously given him three months
severance pay when his services
were terminated.
In answering the original COM
plant the League stated that Mr..
Wardlaw did not have a contract
with the agency.
It Is understood that the Urban
League board decided to agree to
settlement because the small sum
involved did not warrant extended
litigation.

The small African woman said
that her sister-In-law was arrest
ed recently and sentenced TO 81
days In jail for being ON the
streets in the Cape Province after
o p. m. curfew. "Our jaIIs are
Over-crowded now" she declared,

Reporting a case which she
claimed to have been personally
acquainted with, Mrs. Matthews
said that the white government
paid prisoners to wear their own
clothing because there was not
enough prison clothing to provide
for them.
The soft-spoken African wo-
man told Of the rights which she
claimed her people have been de-
prived of, including the right to
vote and own property other than
land set aside by the white gov
eminent. "And you have TO carry
about IL legal papers with you
all the time" she stated. ''the po-
lice are constantly asking to see

Giants were looking for, and never
found, a great Jewish player.
Say Executive Expressed Prejudice
II and when the New York
Yankees stop acting childish about
hiring a Negro baseball player,
one Of their executives, Bill Nc
Cory will have a whole lot OF
explaining to do, If the story in
the Tuesday issue Of the New
York Post Is true.
Quotes the Post referring TO
McCorry's attitude on Negro play
ers, Il got no use for any Of
them. I wouldn't want any of
them on a club I was with. !
wouldn't arrange a berth on the
train for any Of them"
McCorry was the Yankee scout
who was sent to look over Willie
Mays, and passed him up. When
the Giants took the little fellow,
McCorry was the target Of much
ribbing Of the New York Times
sports writer, who was a dyed-in-
the-wool Giant fan. When Mays
hit two home runs one day, Dire
binger Of the New York Times
called McCorry's attention to II
and what is written above, is what
Milt Gross Of the New York Post,
says McCorry told Drebinger.
The Yankees had chances to
see every player now in the big
time including Larry Dolby who
played every home game in the
Newark park, then owned by the
New York Yankees. How then
does the Yankee management ex-
plain the by-passing Of 50 many
Negroes by their very competent
scouts who are responsible for
the great players who have graced
the Yankees.

Greensboro, N. c. A native
African mother, whose son has
been arrested by white police for
speaking at a mass native rally
in the Cape Province, has I'M
folded a story of human oppres-
sion In the riot-torn Union Of
South Africa in an interview dur
ing her visit at Bennett College.
The mother, Mrs. Zachariah
Keodirelang Matthews, is now
touring colleges in the United
States telling Of the struggle Of
the African people against segre-
CATION laws imposed upon them
in the Union.
Expressing regret about the re-
cent flare-ups Of violence between
the Africans and whites In the
Cape Province, Mrs. Matthews
said that the movement Of her
people Ii one Of passive resistance.
I'VE are quite sure" she asserted,
that white police instigated the
riOting there"
Mrs. Matthews, whose husband
is now an instructor on African
problems at a New York school,
Is a graduate of the University Of
South Africa. She arrived in the
United States about the first Of
September.
Relating the story Of her sons
arrest, Ms. Matthews said that
native meetings protesting treat
ment Of Africans by the ruling
British and Dutch have been
broken up by police under a spec
ial law called The Suppression Of
Communists Act" It was by this
authority that police apprehended
her son, and she reported that rs
other natives attending the same
rally were seized with him. I'VE

equality of treatment and oppor-
tunity for all persons in the arm
ed forces without regard to race"
BY May, 1850, a special Presi-
dents committee created to over
see the services imposition Of this
policy reported considerable pro-
gress had already been made by
the Navy and the Air Force. Even
the Army, with its far greater
Negro enlistment, was beginning
to move in the direction ordered,
the committee noted at that time
Since then the Army has put in
tegration to the test of combat
in Korea. The European Com
mand is actually one Of the last
to be integrated - in fact, there
were charges by Negro groups of
heel-dragging on the part of mill
tary authorities over here.
Nevertheless, the program as
it is being carried out today
among the United States forces
in Germany, Austria and France
is particularly notable in three re-
spects. Once begun, it is going
farther, faster, than in any other
command. 1t is taking place in
especially sensitive" areas, in
lands whose people have been in
doctrinated by noisy communist
propaganda to believe that lynch
ing is the standard method Of
treatment for Negroes in the
United States. When Europeans
see white and black American
soldiers in casual comradship in
arms today, our moral prestige is
raised. And, finally, nowhere has
the program been supplemented
with less fuss and friction-and
with as little public attention.

The drive, Berger said, win con-
tinue through December. It was
launched shortly after the cleo
ton with a radio broadcast upon
which both President-elect Eisen-
hover and Governor Stevenson

I'm the battle for truth, all
Americans have a definite part to

dom" General Eisenhower said.
In two previous annual drives,
more than 100000 Americans

lent funds to provide Is radio
transmitters In Western Germany
and Portugal and four in Manila
and Guam. These are broadcast
ing the truth daily to the people
imprisoned behind the Iron cur
tain.

men, declared.
I'VE Join the Crusade for Free

tioning.
This answer deserves to rank
with the understatements of all
time. Routine? To take some 35,-
900 Negroes who previously had
been carefully segregated, as a
point of official policy, and sud-
denly mix them in together with
their white fellow Americans, to
work and live together around
the clock. Ordinary? To effect
this far reaching program so
swiftly and unobtrusively that
few outside those directly in
volved have even been aware of
what was going on!
It may be a paradox that the
staff planner of the United States
Army in Europe refused to rec
ognize the dimensions Of the task
they are performing-and that
the very matter-of-factness Of
their approach has been a major
factor in its success thus far.
Yet the fact remains that this
Ordinary augmentation of
routine directive" does add up to
q revolution in race relations and
appears to be setting a pattern
not yet equaled elsewhere in our
armed forces or anywhere in our
country.
It means, among other things,
that when an infantry rifle COM
pany is out on maneuvers at the
edge of the Iron Curtain and beds
down for the night, Pvt. Gerald
Washington, Negro, and Pvt.
Richard Smith, a white lad from
Georgia, may pitch their two-man
tent together and no one will give
the matter a second thought.
Don't Smith and Washington have
adjacent hunks when they are
back in the barracks? 1t means
that when the wife of a Negro
lieutenant commanding gun sec
ton in the 599th Field Artillery
Battalion hangs out her wash be-
hind the Army apartments on the
wooded hills outside the Schwa-
bisch Bmund, she will gossip cas-
ually with the wife of white Of
ficer in the same integrated bat
terry, who lives in the flat upstairs.
It means, as a Negro first ser
geant, the top kick of a FREEDOM
inantly white outfit, commented
thoughtfuIly, I'VE got one Army
over here now. We don't have two
one white and one black-no
more"

Cards as other teams not having
Negro players.
In this way, the Yankees were
asking, why single us out ?"
Another official is quoted as
saying the Yankees were interest
ed in any Negro player and were
still hunting for them, In the past,
this Official said the Yankees were
interested in every Negro player
who had come up except Jackie
Robinson"
Statements Weak
Arthur (Red) Patterson, pub
licity man for the Yankees, gave
the weakest statement concerning
Victor Power, the Negro player
belonging to the Yankees now
with Kansas City. The Yankees
have not signified their intention
of inviting Power to the spring
training camp.
Patterson says the Yankee
scouts haven't determined where
Power plays best, first, base, third
base or the outfield. That's why
they havn't decided what TO do
with him. Patterson loses sight
Of other Yankees who have played
various positions-Tommy Hen
rich, one Of the games greatest
outfielders, being used as a first
baseman and even more recently,
Joe Collins, a first basemsn be-
ing shunted TO the outfield on
occasion.
Powers versatility should make
him invaluable to the Yankees as
hard put for players as they have
been recently. But the manage
ment hangs on to that old moth
worn excuse, they are still look
ing. Robinson's statement hit the
Yankees where they are most
