Grand Jury Briefed
On baltimore Case
By Federal Lawyers
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The Federal grand jury which
will decide whether Owen Latti-
more should be indicted for per-
Jury or violation of any other law
has been given its first briefing
on the case.
Justice Department attorneys
spent about two hours before the
grand jury yesterday afternoon.
Edward F. Hummer, one of the
attorneys, said no witnesses will
be heard before next week.
Beyond that, Mr.. Hummer had
little information to give report
ers. He declined to predict how
long it might take to present the
case. And he said fatty he would
not give out the names Of wit
neSseS.
The initial session, Mr.. Hummer
said, amounted to introducing
the grand jury to the case"
Before they went before the
grand jury. Mr.. Hummer and John

High Court Refuses
To LET McGranery
Argue in Race Case

Attorney General McGranery
has been refused Supreme Court
permission to argue personally In
the school segregation cases next
week, officials today conceded.
Arguments start Tuesday.
The Justice Department in
formally requested the court in
mid-November to grant the cab
met officer permission to appear.
But the court rejected this re-
quest, although there is no formal
entry on it's records, officials ex-
planned, because the request was
not made in writing.
The Federal Government has
already filed q brief as a friend of
the. court signed by Mr.. McGran-
cry, in which he asked the tri-
bunal to outlaw school segrega-
ton.
A spokesman for the Supreme
Court said today it is not unusual
that requests to make oral argu-
ments as friends of the court are
turned down. OF course, direct
parties to the litigation are per-
mitted to argue. through their at
torneys, in presenting their cases
before the nine jurists who make
up the court.
But usually the Attorney Cen
eral is heard in cases where the
Federal Government is interested
in the outcome. In his brief. Mr..
McGranery made it plain the Gov
ernment considers the school
segregation cases as of para
mount Importance.
The Supreme Court recently
pointed out to the attorney gen.
eral of Kansas that that State had
failed to file brief in the lltlga-
ton. But there the City OF To-
peka is a direct party to the suit.
The States chief law officer has
indicated he will file a brief short
ly. But whether he will appear
personally to argue the case has
not yet been made clear.
Court officials recalled that in
real estate restrictive covenant
litigation some years ago, the Su-
preme Court allowed the Solicitor
General of the United States to
argue. And the Federal Govern
ment was not a direct party to
the litigation.

Joe Morris was born in Mont
gomery, Ala, in 1922. He lived
there until 1910. He attended and
was graduated from public school,
Booker T. High school, and went
to Alabama State Teachers Col
lege for two years.
Joe played in the school band
fer several years; then decided to
60 on his own without the school
band. He played string of one
nighters in Florida.
It was in Florida that Lionel
Hampton heard him and immedi-
ately engaged him as first trumpet
player and arranger. Joe stayed
with Lionel Hampton five years.
During the period he was with
Hampton, Hampton recorded three
of Joe Morris original tunes. They
were "Chop Chop" punch and
Judy" and Tempo's Birthday"
In 1916 Joe left Lionel Hampton
to appear with Buddy Rich. After
leaving Rich he formed his own
aggregation, playing theatres, cafes
and one nighters.

October, awakened, blind-folded,
driven across the state line and
flogged. It seems a terrible way
to attempt to regulate the morals
of adults. It was reported that in
one instance a potential victim, a
woman, was told the name of one
man with whom she could have
dates, and was warned that if she
were found with any other man
"steps would be taken"
No wonder the world looks down
on us as hypocrites. Surely, there
are many good things about our
country that could be talked about,
but in journalism it is the departure
from the normal that makes news
which explains why Fayetteville,
N. c., Minis, Fla, Cicero and
Cairo, ILL.,, get more space and
prominence in the world press than
items of an uplifting and compli-
mentary nature.
This will always be true as long
as we have a free press. In cOun-
tries where bigots such as those
who have been terorizing Negroes
and whites have come into power,
they have muzzled the press.
While these atrocities are fright
full, and do us incalculable harm
overseas, they nevertheless prove
to some extent at least that our
press is still, for the most part,
free.
The fact that the press reports
these things is all to the good; the
trouble is they fail to arouse public
opinion to the point where the
people will "do something about
them"

New York (GlobaD 1t seems as
if the race problem is going to be
solved by big name Negroes in the
amusement profession and out. The
stars, once they reach consummate
brightness, are beginning to choose
their mate from the white race, or
they are being chosen by members
Of the other race.
Lena Horne, top Negro glamour
girl, is married to a white musi-
clans; Hilda Sims and Anne Wig
gins Brown were captured by white
boys; so was 10 Baker. Now comes
word that Pearl Bailey, recently
dsxorced, will take on white mate,
as will Martha Kit, according to
the same grapevine. One thing that
can be said about the white boys
they usually pick the best. We Won
der about Dot Dandridge; she is
about the hottest thing going right
now, and could be considered a
prize catch. But completion will
be awfully keen.
The Blenders, who just finished a
successful engagement on the stage
of Harlem's famed Apollo Theatre,
told this writer back stage that
they had auditioned to record a
beautiful ballad for major re-
cording company. An official said
that the song was pretty and that
their arrangement was terrific, but
that the boys sounded white. Il
want you to sound black" the
Blenders were told. The Blenders

tall five of them) were furious as
they talked of the insult. It was
pointed out that the white man
doesn't mind if white singer or
musician sounds colored, but a Ne
gro can't sound white. Take the
case of Jonny Ray of Columbia
Records. . Ray was started out
as an iimiator of a Negro on Co.
lumbia's Okay Label, considered by
some as that company's Negro
label. On this label, Ray first re-
corded "Cry." He clicked over
whelmingly and his recording COM
pany rapidly took him off the Okay
label and put him on the "pop"
label of Columbia itself. Ray being
a white boy, his white recording
company jumped him up. Yet, this
same Ray initiates Billie Holiday.
Many top white singers initiate Ne
groes and benefit from it. Many feel
they have to do this because they
have no original "souP' for jazz.
It's shame the way some Of
these small recording companies
are bleeding young Negro perform
ers. Here's what they do: They
have their own recording company,
their own music publishing COM
pany, their own booking office,
their own personal managers con-
tact. And, if an unknown Negro
performer wants to record for said
record company, he or she must
not only sign a recording contract,
but must also sign a personal man
ayers contract with the company,

"STR RAIGHT
AHEAD"

1NeW 1OIk, \GIOUd1I AL LIlS
Negro wants to do, it seems, is to
keep on battling for his rights, and
stay on Gods side. He is still get
ting an awful pushing around in
this country, but the mills are
grinding fine.
The other day in North Carolina,
the FBI moved in on ten members
Of the Ku Klux Klan who have
been charged with kidnapping and
floggign. No, the victims were
not Negroes, but that doesn't mat
ter too much. What is important
is that we know now that the FBI
can act and act effectively if it
wants to.
AS for the Klan, its mistake was
its choice of victims. They were
a white man and white woman.
This may be the beginning of it's
undoing. AS long as the Klan
flogged, kidnapped, and terrorized
Negroes, it had some kind of i'm
munity from punishment, as the
recent Florida bombing so force
fully illustrated. But such sport is
not to be indulged in with whites
as the victims.
It took the kidnapping of Charles
A. Lindbergh's baby to bring dras-
tic action against kidnapers, and
the recent North Carolina incident
may result in some positive action
against floggings and other forms
Of mob violence. One of these days
another mistake is going to be
made and the Klan, or some of its
compatriots, are going to lynch the
wrong man or woman, and We'll
promptly get an anti-lynching law.
It is quite understandable though,
now the Klan and it's kind can re-
main active in the South. It's men
like Gov. James Byrnes and Gov.
Herman Talmadge who give en-
couragement to them. 1t must,
however, be terribly embarra ssing
to these officials when they see
these night riders venting their
wrath on white folks.
iThe real sad note in the North
Carolina case which ought to in
terest the nation, is found in the
reasons given for the floggings.
From all reports it appears that
the couple, apparently not married,
were found together one night last
aS we'll as a booking contract. And,
| ifi the unknown Negro performer
whites music, he or she must let
this same outfit publish same. At
lebst two small labels are the prin-
cibal offenders. In the case of one
of them, the outfit not only re-
cords the songs of a popular sing
Ee1 but has her tied up a. per-
Isohal managers contract, meaning
that they get slice of her playing
,insperson engagements.
