Robeson's Book
Proves He Has
Learned Nothing
BY JAMES w. IVY
IN THE CRISIS
.1Tere ! stand.n by PAM Robe-

Here I stand" by Paul Robe
son, New York OtheIlo AssocI-
ates, 1858. 1913 pages $780,
paper bound S1.25.
This is Mr.. Robeson's apolgia
for his political beliefs and pub
lie actions during the past seven
teen years. He uses n prologue.
five chapters, an epilogue, and
five appendices IN an attempt 10
explain where he now stands with
respect 10 Negro advancement and
Soviet Russia.
His explanations however are
disorderly and confusing and what
comes through is the blurred pic
ture OF a man with a large sense
OF mission but with no practicable
plan for its achievement.
At no time since his return TO
the states in 1899 could Mr.. Robe
son be dubbed a Negro leader, In
fact, he had little 10 do with Ne
groes and he always lent his tai
ents TO the Communist and Rus
sian cause.
Mixed and all-white left-wing
groups could always get Mr., Robe
sons support but ordinary Me-
groes and their organizations could
not even get a reply to a letter,
He has mostly sentimental roots
among American Negroes
Negroes admired him as an
athlete and concert singer and
applauded his frequent outbursts
against the degradation Of his
people, but they never regarded
him as leader, nor did they ad-
mire him for strict adherence IA
the Communist Party line.
Mr. Robson Is still naive and
unaware OF present-day realities
He imagines his misfortunes &c
stem, not from his own bungling

THROW OUT CHARGE
AGAINST NEGRO WOMAN
ATTENDING PICNIC

Washinton CAMP THE disord-
erly conduct charge brought
against a colored woman for at
tending a church picnic with white
friends in Arlington, Va, was
thrown out OF court last week by
County Court Judge Paul d.
Brown.
Mrs. Robert A. Eldridge, Jr.,
was arrested on June 1, on a dis
orderly conduct charge when she
refused TO leave a picnic in Bon
Air park, attended by about so
members Of the Unitarian church.
Arresting officers claimed they
responded to telephone complaints
that the racial seating law was be-
ing violated on the picnic grounds.
She was released when the church
posted S16.25 bond.
At the hearing, Judge Brown
ruled that segregation was not the
issue in the case. Mrs Eldridge
was charged with disorderly con-
duct, but there was no disorderly
conduct because "the defendant
was seated with persons of her
own Unitarian church, present I'M
der a permit, and who did not OBJ
iect to her presence"
This marked the ninth case,
testing the segregated seating law
in Virginia, which has been thrown
out OF court during the last two
years.
Mrs. Eldridge is the mother of
Robert III, age 8, one Of seven
Negro children who applied for
entrance in white schools in Ar
lington next fall.

Father never feels worthy Of
the worship in his child's eye.
He's never quite the hero his
daughter thinks, never quite the
man his son believes him TO be
and this worries him, sometimes.

smooth the rough spots in the
road for those Of his own who
will follow him.

away TO other men who aren't

also need the cooperation Of their
wives in raising the children.
Some fathers feel the wives leave
all of the unpleasantness, like
punishment, for them TO do. Others
feel they are loved for their abili-

Find Shaw Following Objeetives>
Aims. Of Student Council Pattern

periods at Shaw and so far, is
proving satisfactory. Dennis
also found that while in many
schools but one group worked
on a project, at Shaw there are
many groups for a wider op-
portunity for more students to
participate and learn how these
things are done.
AS for the second topic, Shaw
feels that its Student Council
has a good understanding with
the teachers.
(1) "Aims and Objectives";
(2) How can the Student
Council help to improve student
behaviour outside Of the class
room but in the building. These
are the topics discussed at the
two discussion groups attended
by Sharon. The answer to the
first was to primarily better the
school and encourage school
spirit and school loyalty. From
the majority of instances, it
would seem that the Council
and the student body are meet
ing this objective satisfactorily. :.
As to the second topic, Miss
Lapka reports, this seems to
be a common problem without
too many suggestive answers.
Warren Guthrie of Western
Reserve University and local
TV news broadcaster gave the
keynote speech. Miss Shirley
Haney Of Toledo Libby, headed

zoning Board
Tells Builder

A request to erect a Al suite
apartment building at 1896
Euclid ave was rejected by the
Zoning Board of Appeals and
Fire Board of Appeals Tues
day, April 29th, following a
careful study Of the plans as
submitted by Clifford Building
Co., Louis Skolnick, architect.
The board was of the opinion
that Al suites with cars would
"pack" the site.
However, the appellants were
given the opportunity to resub-
nit plans on the basis of no
more than so suites; plus a
number Of changes to meet
code requirements.
Under their appeal, the Cliff
ford Building Co. sought a
reduction Of the one and one
half car per suite requirement
to one cal; reduction OF the
1000 square feet of land area
per suite to 595 square feet;
and elimination of ten-foot
fire lane adjacent to the build
ing in lieu of an 18-foot drive
some distance from the build
ing.
Some members Of the board
also objected to the type OF
building planned. 1t would be
a three floor motel style build
ing. with long porches from
which the suites would be en-
tered.
The Board waived off-street
parking requirements for the
Pizza Shop which Sam Devito
is onening at 134O1 Euclid ave.,
on the basis of service limited
to pizza and coffee to be served
on the premises or taken out.

First Quarter
1857

Two factors may well be the
reason for certain figures from
Police Department records car
ried in the First Quarterly Re
port for 1858 as submitted by
City Manager Chas A. Carran
to the City Commission. These
factors could well be the en-
forcement program Of the DE-
partment, and the continuing
education program Of the de-
partment and the Safety Coun-
ellis.
First, the city went through
the quarter minus a fatal ac-
cident. 1t also cut the number
Of pedestrian injuries from 10
in the corresponding quarter Of
1857 to 10; Damage and Injury
cases from IL to s and the
Damages Only cases from 234
to 2O1.
Motorists, however, did1 /
change their parking habits.
The 6.532 parking tickets issued
and the 1928 parking tickets
paid and voided, had 6,296 and
$500 corresponding 1867 totals.
Police arrests were 1.547
against 1,45S last year.

be a car taken from elsewhere
and picked up here; or loot

well cause serious problem. il

Welfare Department figures
show s1,758 expended this past
quarter for relief cases. In 1857
the total was 1889.
The city closed the quarter
with an added q full-time, four
part-time and four fewer ION
CALI personnel, for a total OF
245. At the same time in 1857
the figure was 223. The major
increase is in the police de-
partment.
During this first quarter the
Forestry-Parks Division has

New construction is esti-
mated at S277,275 and repairs

category were S537.22O and

.Carran Urges
Yes Vote On
Welfare Levy

The passage of the County
Welfare Renewal Levy that ap-

day is vital to the many thou

and crippled children, the blind,
the sick, and the needy of our
County, declared City Manager
Chas. A. Carran today.
"No tax increase will result,
because the Levy is a renewal
that has been approved by the
voters many times during the
past 20 years." he explained.
Mr.. Carran strongly urges all
East Cleveland citizens to vote
YES" on this ballot on May 6.
