lowed by a letter from Battal-
ion Surgeon Robert Schorr to
the wife, Mrs. Martha Burton

family at No. 3 Warwick St.,
Roxbury. In it he stated that
James was struck by a mortar
shell at Christmas Hill, four
fifths of a mile in front of the
main line. He attributed his
death to the great loss of blood
and shock. Believing that he
was only wounded, he request
ed the doctor, who was also
his friend, to write his wife
in care of his parents. DR..
Schorr expressed sincere regret
that due to their position on
the front, he was unable to do
more to save the life of his
friend.

in Boston on March %, 1929,
to James and Mary Hodsdon of

SECRET CODE USED In
BERMUDA TOURIST BIAS

NEW YORK - The American
Jewish Congress called upon
the Bermuda Government In
formation Office to investigate
the Bermuda Tourist Bureau
which suggested in circulars
to New York City travel agents
that they use code words in
their correspondence to ident-
ify tourists as gentiles, Jewish,
Colored or Asiatic because
some hotels are restricted.
The circular is marked "con-
fidential information to travel
agents." and suggests the use
of the following code words to
denote racial origin: Gentle,
Oleander; Jewish, Hibiscus;
Colored, Geranium; Asiatic,
Poinciana.
The letter of protest, signed
by Will Maslow, director of the
A. J, Congress Commission on
Law and Social Action, pointed
out that under New York
law, it is illegal for any agent
or any place of public accom-
mediation, resort or amusement
to display any notice that the
patronage of any racial or re
ligious group is not accept
able.
"It is bad enough" Maslow
declared, that hotels and
other resorts in Bermuda dis
crimate against guests other
wise qualified, because of their
race or religion, but intolerable
when Bermuda tourist bureaus
attempt by secret codes and
conSpiracies to involve New
York agents in their discrimin
story policies.
Maslow added that the Ber-
muda Gov ernm ent Office
should, at the very least, take
steps to prevent the distribu-
ton of the offending circulars
and other violations of New
York law.

Loyalty to my family, my

fundamental to me-"
Bishop OMAN.
BISHOP OMAN has been
Rleared by the American
Committee of the red batting
ana witch-hunt slander which
is steadily threatening TO dis
rdpt religious harmony in the
United States. Moreover, the
famous and courageous Meth
odist Bishop is only one of the
many Protestant church leaders
scheduled to be grilled this year.
1.-The Accusers" have cited
thousands" of Protestants. This
points to a tremendous Amer
ican danger.
FACTS Reveal that Bishop Ok
nam, like many other Amer
leans, did associate with some
groups aiding Russia when the
Soviet was a democracy ally"
from 1941 through 1945. This
was not treason. And like other
Americans, the good Bishop was
linked with some liberal organi-
cations which did contain some
communists but who in on way
represented his views.
THE REPUBLICAN Party, for
example, may contain pro-
FaciSts, Ku Klux Klan Dixie
Gratis, and other un-American
hate -mongerS, but these in no
way reflect" or represent the
views of President Eisenhower
and most members of the same
party. Yet such elements are
equally as dangerous to Demo-
cracy" as the communists. Even
today, they oppose granting of
full Civil Rights.

has had to work with many dir
verse conflicting groups within
his own ranks. But it is increas-
ngly clear that Eisenhower does
not hold the same beliefs" with
all his. Party members. Unde-
mocratic elements "inflltrate''
into all parties, ali groups. But
it is malicious slander to smear
unjuStly the entire organiza-
ton, or all individuals because
of the few. Mccarthy does this,
today.
RELIGIOUS dangers of the
current investigation are obvi-
Gus. If it can be proved that
'some Protestants" were fooled
bv Stain. it will later develop
that "some Catholics and
others were fooled by MuSsolini,
Hitler, and Franco, all equal
Fenemies of the U. S. form OF
government" But what good
would such religious argument
do this nation? For the good of
the country this religious con-
f1ict should be avoided. Only
Russia profits.
THOSE FILES which Bishop
Oman and other loyal Amer
leans condemn as both unjust

posed as being one sided, biased,
and as inaccurate as some of
the people who compile them.

GOVERNORS
PROCLAMATION

The first half of our present
century is marked by an appre-
ciative attitude toward the
American Indian. Thus in 1915
American Indian Day was insti-
tuted as an Indian holiday
which every person Of Indian
ancestry was requested to OBJ
serve. In 1917 the United States
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
proclaimed a new policy which
looked to "the ultimate abSorp-
ton of the Indian race into the
body polite of the Nation, and
the beginning of the end of the
Indian problem In 1924 full
citizenship was granted by Con-
gress to all Indians born in the
United States. In 1885 the Mas
sachuSetts General Court enact
ed a statute requiring the Cover
nor annually to issue a Pro
clamation setting apart August
12 as Indian Day and recon-
mending that it be observed by
the people with appropriate
exercise commemorative of the
Indian tribes of Massachusetts,.
The most serviceable observ-
ance of this day will not be by
recalling the sordid past of un-
happy relations between the Red
Man and the White Man, nor by
recalling lurid tales of Indian
gambling, drinking, treaChery,
and relentless cruelty in savage
warfare. Neither will the best
intrests be served by berating
and deploring unjust actions of
White Men and harsh measures
of the Government.
We who belong to the present
generation deserve neither the
honor for the glory nor respon-
sibility for the debasement of
the past. J.ut we do hold in our
hands the fate of the coming
years.
Therefore, let us observe In
dian Day by recalling and emu
lating noble traits of the typi-
cal American Indian - his self
control and self denial; his
natient endurance of hardship
and pain; his undertaking
honesty in word and in deed;
his fulfillment of all promises
which he made; his loyalty to
family ties and his fidelity to
standards of virtue; his dispo-
sition to regard generosity as
more to be esteemed than
wealth; his ability to participate
in games and sport and laughter
when appropriate, and also his
ability to be dignifed and
theatrically solemn on occasions
of Importance; his reverence for
his deities and his religious
ideals; and his courage which
made him fear nothing but the
shame of cowardice. All these
the present generation of Amer
leans of any color and of any
inheritance or any previous
condition may wisely emulate.
Likewise, all governme en- t S
throughout the world today
might wisely emulate the prac
tice which obtained among the
American Indians when they
were the proud rulers of this
land that war could be declared
only by a council of all the men
and women in the Tribe.
Massachusetts, citizens have
right to recall with pride the
work Of John Eliot. the famous

duced a rude and barbaric

Progress by the Army Engi-

The money will come out of

the entire country.
How much the Bladensburg
