ELECTRONIC BRAIN
TO REPLACE $50
ARMY CLERKS

DETROIT (P).-The Army
is installing a mammoth
electronic brain in Detroit
to replace $50 clerks who
keep an inventory of the
replacement parts needed to
keep all United States mill
tary vehicles rolling.
The brain costs IS million,
but Brig. Gen. Paul M.
Seleen, commander of the
Detroit Tank Automotive
Center, estimates the elec-
tronic device will pay for
itself in six years. He said
clerks take a month to do
what the machine will do in
minutes.
The brain will keep track
of every fanbelt and wing
nut the Army buys. When
it sees stocks falling on any
of 100000 items it will flash
a warning to buy more.
It will be the Army's first
electronic brain. known as
"Bizmac," 1t is scheduled to
be in partial operation by
october.
In Army tradition, when
data is fed into the brain, 1t

Chicago NcNw
Fight Is Settled;
Wide Open Split
And Fight In
Ranks Avoided

Chicago - The threat of a wide
open fight in the ranks of the Ma
tional Council of. Negro Women
was averted by reinstatement of
the Chicago chapter after a hear
ing before committee sent here
by the national headquarters of
the organization.
Charges of irregularities in cleo
ton of officers and handling of
funds had caused wide rift in the
Chicago chapter and had resulted
in a suspension of the local group
until a hearing could be held.
The committee, which heard the
charges and held an on-the-spot
election of officers, was comprised
of Mrs. ARENA C. Mallory, first
vice president of the national or
ganization; Mrs. Eunice Matthews
chairman of the NCNW constitu.
ton committee, and Mrs. Margaret
Hawthorne, Washington, D. C.
The committee ruled that an
election at which Mrs. Dorothy SUIT
ton Branch was chosen president
was illegal. It had been charged
that the election was rugged SO
that only persons who were candi.
dates for office were present.
After ruling that the election
had violated certain constitutional
requirements of the organization
the committee held another cleo
ton Immediately with the same
slate of officers, headed by Mrs
Branch, emerging victorious.
Center of the dispute was Mrs
Jean Dago, ex-president Of the Chi
cago chapter, who was accused 81
having rugged the elections which
were the basis of protest. Mrs
Dago was also charged with hav.
ing pre-empted the functions Of
the chapters treasurer.
Although no specific charges
of misuse Of money was made
the committee ruled that Mrs
Dago had ignored the clubs treas
urer, Mrs. Geneva Brazeley, and
had completely taken over hel
functions.

AIeorn To Meet

On Saturday

After soundly trouncing the

the revitalized Alcorn Braves take
on the Lincoln University Tigers
at Jefferson City, Mo-, Saturday
afternoon.
An injury ridden Alcorn squad,
who after playing Southern Uni
versity to an 1918 draw dropped
two straight contests to NJ. |. and
Jackson College. The Braves will
be a decided underdog in this
weeks encounter with the Tigers.
Lincoln presently has SO record
losing only to Tennessee and Lang
ston University.
The Alcorn coaching staff evil
IDENTIFY did quite bit Of expert
menting in their last game; expert
menting that paid off. Reaching
back into the pitiful rank Of re-
serves on hand, the Brave mentors
came up with some capable re-
placements for the first-string
Braves now sidelined by injuries.
The Alcorn team will have two
more fierce opponents staring them
in the fact after the Lincoln game,
namely Arkansas A. NJ. & N. and
Tennessee State. Whether or not
the rejuvenated Brave team will
come out victorious remains to be
seen.
The Lincoln University Tigers

cows. II kept them in top shape"
he recalls.
Mr.. Frazier left Talladega in
1881 to take a job as a county
agent. He held this post for five
years, never losing sight of his
real goal: to have a dairy farm
of his own. He already owned 100
acres which he had purchased piece
meal between 1924 and 1928. For
a while, he rented it out, but the
tenant left during the early years
of the depression and the land re-
NAMED idle for four years.
Seldom a day passed but what
l didn't think about going into
dairying," says Mr.. Frazier. In
1896 he quit his county agent job
and started dairy farming with a
small herd. The war interrupted
his plans and he suspended opera
tons.
But in 1916 he started out again
with only 10 cows. He has grad
ually increased the size and quality
of his herd, and has developed
some improved pastures of carpet
and dallis grass, White Dutch and
Crimson clover. However, the
dairyman still is not fully salts
fled with his pastures. He wants
to develop 80 acres of good graz
ing, and is getting considerable
help in the planning from his coun-
ty agent, George A. Peasant.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frazier now live
in Talladega; their farm is on
the outskirts of town. They have
a son in Akron, Ohio, and daugh-
ter in Charleston, S. c. Mr.. Fraz-
Ter handles the dairy mostly by
himself. He even makes the dairy
delivery to Admission, but he never
tires of his chores, because dairy
farming is what he has always
wanted to do.

Chicago Negroes
Stage March On
Washington

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a A
delegation of Negro and religious
leaders from Chicago marched
around Washington to protest "the
lynching of Emmett Louis Till"
and demand federal action "to end

Tuesday.
Led by DR.. C. w. Harding, pas
tor Of the Victory Baptist Church
of Chicago, the marchers demon
strated in front of the White
House and then went to the CAPT
tol, where they made an unsuccess-
full attempt to see Vice President
Nixon.
When, later, they asked for an
audience with Atty-Gen. Brownell,
Arthur B. Caldwell, head of the
civil rights section in the Justice
Department, agreed to receive six
of them.
Caldwell reported the Negroes
"again asked for federal interven-
ton" in the Till case and were ad-
vised that the case reflected no
violation Of federal law and con-
sequently no grounds for federal
Intervention.

ed so, but were reinforced with
about 20 other persons on Capitol
Hill. Special police guards were
stationed outside Nixon's office
and at the Justice Department, but
there was no disorder reported.
Emmett Louis Till was q Ia
year-old Chicago Negro slain in
Mississippi recently. Two white
men were charged with his death,
but were acquitted after a jury
trial.
Harding said his followers want
special session of Congress to
enact federal antipoll tax and anti
lynching legislation. He added that
they also favor federal interven-
ton to end racial disturbances in

Alcorn, Miss, Oct. "a Especially
--Alcorn A & M will field one of

at Melrose Stadium, Saturday
night, November 9Th.
Coach Dwight Fisher of the AL
corn Braves will field line aver
aging ZIG lbs, topped by Cleo (the
Wob) Knight, Jr., guard weighing
800 pounds and Teddy Davis, Jr.,
tackle at 235. This line tapers off
to a mere 215 FOUNDER at the other
guard slot in the person of Clarks-
ville's Gilbert Mackabee. The ends,
Charles Boston and James Head
speth at 1876 and 100, respectively
are both large and fast. With all
this beef, one wonders how w. c..
Jones at center ever got into the
lineup; his weight is listed at ITO.
Could be that the report we re-
ceived is incorrect and that he real
ly weighs ITO pounds.
The backfield with Buford MCGEE
at quarter Q85), James Clark
(2O0) and Burnell Smith (190)
halfback, and James Speight' (19O)
fullback, gives the Braves back
field average of 191 pounds and a
team average of 203 pounds.
While the Golden Lions of Ark
ansas State cannot boast of quite
as much beef, they are not exactly
in this department. The line is
anchored by Mammoth Chester Ri
ley at center, formerly of Booker
T. Washington of Memphis, who
tips the scales at 282 pounds. John
Eubanks, of Memphis, at guard is
the little man in the line at ITO, the
other guard, and co-captain, Nc
Kinley Nash comes in at 1877
pounds. The tackle slots are man.
ned by Floyd Morris, captain, 20s
pounds, and Harold Montague, 205
pounds. Glenn Gibson and Charles
Jackson at It's and 100 pounds hold
down the end positions on a line
which average 205.
The Lions backfield is light, but
fast, with several scat backs who
are threats to go all the way on
any play. Little Joe" Napoleon
100 pounds, at quarter, is slick
operator, a good passer and dan
gerous runner. This youngster
from Shreveport, La, made first

Co. AGENT Who Turned Dairy Farmer
Has Top Herd; Crosses $4,000 Year

A former Alabama Negro coun-
ty agent, who turned to dairy
farming years ago, now has one Of
the finest herds in the State and
is crossing close to $4,000 an
nually as a Grade A dairyman,
says State Leader w. B. Hill of
the Alabama Extension Service in
report to the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
The farmer is Demus Frazier
of Talladega, Ala, who began
wanting to be a dairy farmer as
boy when he was given a Jersey
calf. Today, he owns IS grade and
pure bred Jerseys and milking
Shorthorns and two registered bulls
Jersey and Shorthorn.
At present "a of Mr.. Frazier's
cows are fresh. He milks them with
mechanical mixers, getting around
80 gallons a day. This he delivers
to a Grade A. dairy in Admission
-25 miles away.
But getting into dairying wasn't
easy. Even at Hampton Institute
and Talladega College where he
earned his way, he never got a
chance to work at the dairy. No
matter how hard he tried, he al
ways ended up tending the hogs.
He had to content himself with
courses in dairy husbandry and
laboratory experience.
However, after college, he was
offered a job operating the dairy
farm at Talladega. He grabbed
the post, and he and Mrs. Frazier,
whom he married the same year,
remained there for Is years. The
college had herd of 80 milk
