United States Supreme Court is
the now famous "Segregation
Case" Attorney Marshall has ap-
peared before the Supreme Court
81 times and has lost only two
cases. Mr.. Marshall is both a good
lawyer and a forcible speaker. We
feel sure that all who are fortu-
nate enough to hear him will
consider it a milestone in their
lives.
According to Attorney Carsie A.
Hall, president Of the local branch
of the NAACP, the purpose of the
Freedom Fund Rally is to collect
monies to defray some of the ex-
penses of the national organiza-
ton in it's effort to free the Negro
completely by 1868. Is the ma
tional convention of the NAACP
held in St. Louis, Missouri, last
summer, the organization pledged
to wage ten year legal battle
to end segregation which will call
for S1,000,000 a year.
The program will be held at the
Pearlie Grove Baptist Church, on
South Parish Street, at 1880 pm.
1t will also eliminate the 1854
membership drive which is now
underway. All members and friends
are invited to come out to what
promises to be an inspiring pro-
gram.

Hail Victory

Washington - James B. Cobb,
president of the National Alliance
Of Postal Employees has announced
from Washington, D. c., that Ia
members-seven from the Phila-
delphia Post Office-have received
back pay checks from the U. S.
Treasury totaling $4,000.
The payroll" satisfying the
1862 judgment of the U. S. Court
of Claims, was held up until the
President signed the second appro-
priation act early in March.
The successful litigants-all pos
tai employees suspended under the
"Loyalty Program" five years ago
and later reinstated on appeals to
the then Postmaster General and
the now defunct Loyalty Review
Boards-are:
Frank H. Barnes of Santa Mon
lea, Calf; Harold C. Jones, of Los
Angeles, Calf; Joseph w. B. Clark
of St. Louis, Mo-; Horace Elkins,

Chicago; and Rees j. Brown, Isa-
dore N. Cohen, Arthur L. Drayton,
Clarence H. Haughton, William D.
Ridgeway, Edward A. Smith and
Felix A. Titus, of Philadelphia.
In 1851 when the Post Office
Department refused to honor the
claims of these men for base-pay
covering periods of suspension, the
NAPE directed it's Welfare Di-
rector, w. c. Jason, Jr., to protest
their interest by court action.
"This is a precious victory for
good government even if it did
take the action of a U. S. Court and
the Congress to correct the arbi-
trary act of an executive agency

President Cobb.

What we still
don't know about cancer
and one of the reasons WHY

IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, our knowl-
edge of the nature of cancer, and
how to treati it, has grown encour-
agingly. Patients, who would have
been considered hopeless cases
even five years ago, today are
being completely cured. And even
those who apply for treatment
too late can usually live longer
and less neutrality-suspicious. of
modern palliative treatment.
All the same, there have been
defeats as we'll as victories. We do
not know-to take a single ex-
ample-why so many more men
are now dying from cancer of the
lung. In 1933-just twenty years
ago-lung cancer killed 2,252
men; in 1853, some IS, 500. That's
a great increase-which even our
expanded population, and other
known factors, can't possibly ac-
count for in full.
Well, why haven't we found

more Of the answers to cancer?
Not only because cancer is an
immensely complex problem: diff.
ficult to diagnose, and difficult to
treat; challenging to the best re-
search minds.
All that is true enough. But
there is another reason: ve do not
have enough money.
Last year your gifts to the
American Cancer Society were
more generous than ever before.
But they were not enough.
You gave the Society almost
twenty millions to fight a disease
that-at present death rates
will kill twenty-th.ee million liv.
ing Americans.
Less than one dollar for each
American destined to die from
cancer. Much more is needed for
research, for education, for scrv.
ice to patients. Won't you please

Everglades Park
Expansion May

Issue, Johns SAYS

TALLAHASSEE B-The Florida
Cabinet wants a public hearing,
with U. S. Park Service officials
sitting In, on proposed expansion
of the Everglades National Park
and a controversy over drilling
for oil within its boundaries.
Acting Gov. Johns, one of the
three candidates for governor,
says the matter may mushroom
into a campaign issue. He and the
cabinet have withdrawn a three
year old state offer to donate land
for the expansion. Candidates LIE.
Roy Collins and Bradley Oldham
say the expansion should be under.
taken.
State Treasurer Ed Larson, who
asked the cabinet to reappraise
the situation, said the hearing and
conference with park officials is
needed ito find out what we are
doing and where we stand and
where We are going from here"

officials. Florida congressman also

The question Of whether oil
drilling should be permitted
throughout the park arose when
two exploratory wells just outside
the northern boundary began pro-
dueing oil in still INFESTED guam
titles.
Because Of a complex set OF
agreements, laws and regulations,
drilling is not permitted on an
area adjacent to one well. But
the explorers may drill on an H.
0OO-acre tract Immediately ada
cent TO the second, more promiS.
ing well. and the state viii get an
eighth of any oil found.
Johns. who says the park con-
tains nothing in Gods world but

producing wells, declared:
IF We have oil in the state,
think we ought 10 discover il.

The acting governor said he re-
ferred TO the Miami Herald. one
'of several state newspapers which
have complained that withdrawal
of the state land offer has hurt
chances for opening a West Coast
entrance 10 the park. II now can
be entered only by way of Home

Norris. WE'LL said the figure was

The 29-year-old Marciano will

the Grossinger, NY, country club,
where he already is encamped.
Charles will start drilling four or
five weeks before the fight, Tannas
said.
The jinx Charles faces is almost

boxing. In addition to Charles and
Corbett. Jeffries, Bob Ftizsimmons.
Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis and
