5000 Negroes Were
Among Delegates At
National Meetinu

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 = Manv
sections of the south were well
represented by Negroes at the an
nual gathering of Jehovah's wit
nesses here last week. This cult
has attracted many Negroes in all
parts of the south and in other
parts of the nation.
About $50 members of the faith
attended the sessions from Rich
mond with sizeable number of
Negroes in the group. Norfolk
was well represented by Negro
Jehovah's Witnesses. A member of
the faith said last week that more
than 100 Norfolk Negroes attend
ed.
Of the $4,000 or more Jehovah's
witnesses who attended the con-
ventlon here, more than 5000 were
Negroes. An estimated 1000 were
from the south. Jehovah's Witness
es take seriously the Bible Pass
age, "Ye are my witnesses saith
Jehovah, and | am God" Isaiah
43:12.
They are also greatly influenced
by the passage "Ye shall be wit
nesses unto Me = unto the utter
most parts of the earth. Acts
1:8.
Jehovah's Witnesses have no
time for racial discrimination or
racial segregation. No one paid
any attention to races. creed or
color or nationality at the con-
ventlon here except to extend
warm welcome to such newcomers.
The group boasts of at least $780,
OOO members around the world. and
10000 or more of these are Neg
roes.
They are under the direction of
the Watch Tower and Tract So
clety which has headquarters in
Brooklyn. 1t is governed by a group
OF 4O2 persons in 20 countries.

Atlanta Clio Union
Hit By Race Issue

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 12-The
CLOS United clearinghouse Work
ers union today faced a growing re-
volt of Southern locals which
charge that national leaders have
failed to halt Communist infiltra-
ton.
The revolt broke in the open
Monday after UPWA vice presi-
dent Russell R. Lasley and Secre-
tary- Treasurer G. R. Hathaway de-
manded in Chicago that Southern
district director A. O. Mckinney
be brought to trial before a union
panel on charges of practicing ra-
cial discrimination.
They accused Mckinney of vio-
lating the unions anti-discrimina-
ton policy by ordering Negroes to
leave a recent local social affair
in Atlanta and excluding a Negro
official from staff meetings.
Mckinney Immediately branded
the charges ridiculous" and indi-
Gated that Communist influences
were behind the accusations.
Some 1900 members of Atlanta
locals later voted to withdraw from
the union and seek direct charter
from the Go.

The Chain In The Heart

Chain in the Heart is the title Of book released
for sale this month by Random House, of the lead
ing publishing companies of the nation which writ
ten by Hubert Creekmore, White man, and native
of Jackson, Mississippi.
Chain in the Heart is story of Negro family in
Mississippi and its struggle against the forces of
prejudice, discrimination and tradition existing in the
state, which is not likely to bring Mr. Creekmore much
enthusiastic acclaim from certain quarters of thinking
in Mississippi and other sections of the south.
We have just finished reading advance copy of
Chain in the Heart sent to by Random House. and al
though the book written in the form of novel it APP
proaches with greater clarity and truth the subject of
Negro life and relations in the state, which is the
throughout the SOUTH than any other book dealing
with the Negro and relations which has to
notice in a wide reading of books such subjects.
Here in Mississippi we'll as in the rest of the
South both Negro and white people have their hearts
chained by the and fokways of prejudice and
discrimination WHICH has long needed only the deeper
insight gvenin Hubert Creelmore's Chain in the Heart
Those who work and hope for the coming of
the south, with better and wholesome relations
between its white and Negro people need only hope for
wide reading of the Chain in the Heart which will not
fail bring largencrease of workers and people with
the same hope for new SOUTH south which will
be great blessing to the entire nation and the rest of the
world.

Teachers Assn.
Gives $1,000 To
Education Cases

ORANGEBURG, S. c., Aug. 6
"A contribution of $4,000 was
made to the NAACP Legal Defense
and Educational Fund by the Am
erican Teachers Association at its
5Oth annual convention here last
week to aid in the emergency ex-
penses of the re-argument of the
public school segregation cases in
the United States Supreme Court
next December 7.
The gift represents an extra con-
tribution of $4,000, since the Alta
gives the Legal Defense Fund each
year about 81 800 on a membership
percentage basis. The regular con,
tributions began in 1889 and the
total amount contributed by the
teachers association for the fifteen
year period is now $16,69O.1O.
In announcing the gift which
was presented to NAACP attorney
Spottswood w. Robinson, III, DR..
H. Council Trenholm, executive
secretary of the Alta, said:
GAS a result Of a special appeal
made to the Board of Trustees by
Mr.. c. L. Harper, there was the
decision to increase the contribu-
ton this year to $4,000. This addi-
tional contribution became possible
through some budget adjustments
which we are happy to make at
this time for this year and which
thus means that we are signalling
this 50th Alta convention with a
contribution which in reality repre-
sents 500 for each of the fifty
conventions Alta has held"
Expressing his deep thanks on
behalf of the Legal Defense Fund,
Thurgood Marshall, director, wrote
DR.. Trenholm that the Alta contri-
button was most heartening," say
ing cit answers the unjust criti-
cisms of our Negro teachers who
are so often the victims of propa-
ganda to the effect that they are
only. interested in themselves and
not in the welfare of their people
You and other officers Of the AM
erican Teachers Association have
set the pace with regular contri-
buttons over a long period of
years."

were charged with major and minor
crimes, including taking part in
anti-white Mau Mau oath taking.
Many of the Nairobi murders

And a man birth to go this way.
Poor sinner you must be born again
Born of the spirit Of Christ

Good bye sorrow of sinners life.

To all who are lost today
Good bye sorrow, give up all your

So why not surrender to my God
And answer to your name.
Poor sinner this is the voice of God
Warning you through his man
Sooner or later death may call for

And you won't be able to stand.
The Lord gave to me good news

FBI Asked To
Probe New York
State Farm,

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation was
today asked to make a thorough
investigation of a farm near Way
land, N. Y, where % Brooklyn
youths were held in conditions of
practical peonage, according to
the stories told by the boys who
escaped and started back to Brook
Ign afoot.
The request for FBI intervention
was made by Norman Johnson,
lawyer and member of the execu-
tive committee of the Brooklyn
NAACP branch. Mr.. Johnson
submitted to the FBI all the in
formation he had on the case and
asked for a probe for possible vio-
lations of federal statutes.
The boys, between IA and II
years of age, were picked up in
Brooklyn on July % and promised
good wages to work on a Long
Island farm. However, they were
taken upstate where they were put
to work. on farm picking berries
and beans. They were charged
for inadequate and poor quality
food and for lodging, sleeping five
to a bed in a shack. They found
that they were making no money.
When they complained and asked
to be taken home they were told
that if they wanted to leave they
would have to walk home. On the
night of July 27, group of them
started walking back to Brooklyn,
a distance of more than $50 miles.
They got an occasional lift and a
little food. At Auburn, police not
iced some of them and, upon learn
ing their story, notified their fam
lilies. The other boys continued
hiking towards Albany. Finally
they were arrested in a small town
and fined $40 each. Their parents
were then notified and came to
take them back home.
The NAACP has been engaged
in an effort to secure legislation
to improve conditions for migrant
farm labor, 80 per cent of which
is Negro. Particularly, the Asso-
citation has sponsored legislation
curbing child labor on farms. At
the last session Of the New York
State Legislature, Herbert Hill,
NAACP labor relations assistant,
together with Mrs. Effie Gordon,
president of the New York State
NAACP, conducted a successful
campaign to defeat the Wadlin-
Hatfield amendment to the New
York State child labor law. This
amendment would exempt agricul-
ture from the provisions of the act
which forbids employment of chill
dren under Ia years of age.
The Association, Mr.. Hill said
today, intends to propose several
bills to the next session of the
legislature requiring licensing of
labor agents, establishment of uni
form housing and sanitary condi-
lions n,farm labor camps, oppor-
tunity for farm workers to organ
lie for collective bargaining and
establishment of maximum hours
of work.

HAPPY CHAMP: Out at my
house Monday afternoon Joe Louis
was allowing his picture to be tax
en- with group after group of
young kids, and long after the big
crowds had thinned out the stray
glers kept coming. One thing the
Champ finds hard to conceal is
an apparent deep love of kids just
before time to go to the Theatre
the last of the stragglers came in
to see Joe Louis, and the Champ
reached in his bag and took out
Baseball given to him by Don
Newcombe at an Army camp down
in Texas and autographed it and
gave it to that Kid g. Looking at
them it was hard for me to tell
who was happiest the Kid or the
Champ.
