Fire Sweeps Apartments

A fire in the former Whit ington Apartments on Alaska Way was quickly brought under control by the Volunteer Fire Department around noon
 Saturday.
 The fire is believed to have started in a clothes closet. Damage to the furniture and interior of the building was estimated at around $2,0OO. The fire siren sounded close to the time the regular 12 o. clock whistle blows. Many persons thought it was the noon whistle.
 The firemen had the fire under control shortly after the trucks arrived at the scene. The fire was not completely out until later.
 On Sunday the fire depart ment went to a residence on Taguara road in answer to a call. There was no damage. The siren sounded on Sunday around 1 pm.
 A spokesman for the fire department has cautioned residents regarding inspection of chimneys and fues. High winds, sometimes reaching a velocity of 80 knots, has added to the danger in the event of a fire.

The Price OF Senator Eastland's
Speeches

Senator James O. Eastland, the Senior United States
Senator for the State of Mississippi has been doing
lot of speech making at various points in the state here
lately and from the press reports the Senator to
be engaged in campaign not only to prevent widespread
voting by the Negro Citizens of the state but he
also to be wagng somewhat personal campaign to pre-
vent the awarding of statehood to Alaska and Hwai
His opposition to the acceptance to Alaska and Hwaii
state in the union is because the two United States Sena
to which each would be entitled to elect might not
be by nature persuasion exactly in accord with the
idea of White Supremacy generally thought of in the
State of Mississippi.
Now know that Senator Eastland has
stopped in his speech writing and speechmaking long
enough to think that what he says might be insult to
the Negro Citizens of the state, in this period in Ameri
History when the of Negro Citizens like those
of other citizens of the state giving their life and
blood for American Democracy against the threat of
communism, and of do not exactly raise that
point here But from in Asia and other sections of
the East and east, including China Japan, India,
The PHILIPPINES, Africa, Iran, the reports indicate that
objections being made at the cost of the friend
ship of the United States to the preachments and indi
cations of the idea of White Supremacy which is the
main point that would make here.
In the one-sided economy that has made Mississippi
the poorest state in the union the dsfranchsement of
the Negro might have been necessary to the
per system and the few who have profited by it, but look
ing towards the future of the state we'll that of the
nation lead to wonder if keeping the Negro in Mis-
sssipp dsfranchsed and denying statehood of Alaska
and Hwa is worth the risk of losing the friendship of
the entire colored world -

If We Could Stand Together
(FrOm The Louisiana Weekly

The citizens of Mound Bayou Mississippi last week
proved to the rest of the South and to the world that the
Negro could stand together.
1t has long been said of the that the for
its plight has been the lack of cooperating together (and
in than it has been proven true) but here
in this small town, which incidentally has Negro
mayor, the Negro people resolved, Don't buy gas where
you can't the rest room"
This resolution, though not entirely based dis
cmnatoy basis has brought out the fact that Negroes
when called upon, go along together and fight for
those things that are benefitting to them.
1t is true, that lot of times the Negro is accused
of not being able to cooperate with his but that
has been because he being mlsead by the old adj
age, Give got mne it's up to you to get yours but
fast awakening to the fact that unity is strength
Realizing that this is true, for the first time since
the three major political groups here in city, namely
the People Defense League the Crescent City lndepen
dent Voters League and the Orleans Parish Progress
sve League, has been organized find them uniting
for the coming presidential election.
The rebrth of Negroes cooperating here in the South
may prove to be of vast significance not only to the
Negro and to the South but to the nation whole.
In all probability after noticing the progress these
three groups are making since cooperating with each
other similar groups and businesses will follow the same
pattern.
New Orleans is the home of 16 more in
companies and yet we find that there are no
Negro owned banks department stores or housing de-
veopments where the combined of these bust
nesses would work for the good of the community.
In the city of Memphis recently, cooperation among
Negros shown in the construction OF housing de-
veopment costing several million dollars
Though the situation in city OF New Orleans is
far below the standards of of the smaller
towns struggling to make advances in this direc
ton.
It would be a great stride if the whole South would
pattern their policies after those of Mound Bayou Mem
phis and similar outstanding cities Not only in the
of gas stations and housing developments but every
thing that needs cooperative action.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: They got together here
the other night and organized the
"Territorial Division" of the Com
munity Chest Money Drive. We
use the word money" here because
it is a more exact explanation of
what the Community Chest Drive
is all about than the word "fund."
| heard some talk about the organ
ization meeting up and down the
| Ole Avenue, which moved me to
write something "For the Good of
the Community Chest Money
Drive" maybe not this one exactly
but for them that are to come. AS
| far as Amt Haggars Chillun is con-
cerned I've don long found out that
what you hear 'em talking about
up and down the Ole Avenue has
already done spreaded all over
town, which is somewhat like the
story that a Teacher of mine used
to tell when she was lecturing US
on the need for taking bath reg
ularly. She used to close up the
story by saying, While you're
waiting to start to smelling your
own self before taking bath, re
member that everybody else around
you have already been smelling
you long time . What | heard
about the meeting was that Broth
er Clarence Winters, had the
"guts" to say something about
Brother Rice, again and again be-
mig put up as the head Of the drive
and then suggesting that there
might be something in the think
ing of some of the other big"
men up and down the Ole Avenue
that makes them wonder why it
has TO be Brother Rice, over and
over again, when they is just as
BIG" as he is, and with the love
of honor being what it is amongst
Amt Haggar's Chiluns, like it is
'mongst everybody else, this con-
tainment of the honor of being
"Mr. Big" Of the drive maybe
causing a drying up of the spirit
and interest in lotta important
places, and with a lotta less i'm
portant folks, which cause the cut
ting off of the easy flow of the
"Money" which is what the Com
munity Chest wants. From what
| heard, Brother Winters was for
bringing in some new faces as a
move to widen the interest and
spread the honors around, and |
heard that he pointed across the
fence at the "Why-Folks" to won
der why they got a new man to
lead the Community Chest Money
raising every year | never
knowed it would come about, but
while | was settin down with my
Fish and Beer, and thinking about
what they say Brother Winters
said, | found out that there was
whole lotta wisdom in the story
my teacher use to tell about taking
a bath.

But the appealing organization
urged newspapers to refuse to pub

make an appeal to intolerance.
They also asked radio and tele-

Judge Strum. who has heard
most of the litigation involving the
FEC since it was taken into court
because of financial difficulties in

argument and testimony on the

A member of the Circuit Court
