school in Gary.
A former social teacher and spe-
cialist in geography and local
chapter president of the National

Gus fellowships.
The Sigma Gamma Rho soror

Dallas Negroes :.

and refused service by sales per-
sonnet at one of Dallas leading
department stores.
Local Negroes have attempted
to ease the situation by negotiat-
ing with heads of various stores
in Dallas. However, if further ne
gotiations do not bring about a
satisfactory solution to the situa-
ton, colored citizens intend to
trade elsewhere.
In opening the recent meeting
at the Excelsior Building, w. J..
Durham said:
"In my judgment, we have ex-
hausted all efforts at negotiation
to settle this matter, and | now
feel that the only remedy is re-
taliation through withdrawal of
over 81, 100000 in purchasing pow.
er the Dallas department stores
now enjoy from Negro citizens.

Intercedes To
Save Veterans
Schools

WASHINGTON-Grand Exalted
Ruler Robert H. Johnson, of Phil
adelphia, head of the nations
Elks, has moved to secure Con-
gressional action to save Negro
owned schools training veterans
from having to close their doors.
He has asked the House Veterans
Affairs Committee to pass legis
lation for this purpose.
With several Negro schools in
the District of Columbia and the
Southern States facing shutdowns
because they cannot maintain the
Is per cent non-veterans' enroll
ment requirement of the amended
CT Bill of Rights, Grand Exalted
Ruler Johnson is backing legisla-
ton to curb that requirement.
The legislation, already in the
hands of the proper subcommittee
of the House Veterans Affairs
Committee, propose repeal of the
section or amending of it to ex-
clude schools which have operated
and received VA approval continu-
ously for the last five years. Rep.
William L. Springer (R., Ill.) is
chairman of the subcommittee.
Grand Exalted Ruler Johnson.
himself a vet and the highest rank
ing Negro holding administrative
office in the VIEW, asked Congress-
man Springer to hold hearings and
push the legislation through be-
fore Congress adjourns. Other
wise, two schools in Washington
will be forced to close on August
!. They are the Carver Voca-
tional and the Sterling Vocational
Schools. Other schools in the
South face a similar fate.
81 am asking you to save the
party the ignomy of having said
that we failed to undo some dam
age done by the Democrats" Mr..
johnson told Rep. Springer. Due
to segregation policies, Negro vet
Grams will be unable to continue
their training should the Negro
schools close.

also Florida corporation.
In an ultimatum issued by Cir
cult Judge Edwin L. Jones, the
Central Life Insurance Company
was ordered and directed upon
financial and legal procedures of
the Afro-American Insurance Com
pany to transfer to that firm $50
and one sixth shares of it's stock.
The Court held that despite the
CentraTs contention that Afro
American had no legal right to pur-
chase it's stock that the Afro-Am-
erican, Incorporated under the laws
of Florida, has the right to buy
sell, deal in,transfer, both real and
personal property and that the
Afro-American purchase of this
stock fell within the rights and
privileges of the Afro-American
charter.
The fight grew out of the Cen
trails refusal to transfer to the
afro" shares it had bought from
Central stockholders.
The Central's refusal to make
the transfer was based on the
argument that the Afro-American
did not have the corporate power
to buy the stocks of another insur-
ance company. However, it is felt
that Central Life's action stems
from the fear that the Afro-Am-
erican is seeking control of the
Tampa firm.
The ruling came after more than
a year of battling up to Florida's
Supreme Court which upheld pre-.
vious INJUNCTION.
