Suspend Arkansas Police
Sergeant Charged With
AssaUIfing Editor Palmer

West Memphis, Ark CAMP -
Kermit Tullos, desk sergeant in
West Memphis, was suspended
Monday on a charge of attacking
colored newspaper. H. D. Hol-
lans, chief of police, said Tullos
would remain off the force until
an investigation is made.
The charge was made by L. F.
Palmer, editor of the Tri-State
Defender in Memphis, across the
Mississippi River from West Mem
phis. Palmer said he was thrown
out of the police station when he
tried to post bond for an employee
Suspension of the sergeant, ac-
cording to Holland, was ordered
by Mayor H. B. Price who was
not available for comment. Tullos
declined to talk.
Palmer said after the officer
threw him out he warned: The
next time you come to West Mem
phis, act like a NJ" is sup
posed to act"

was received in the mail for each
parent. They were so thankful for
their sons work that they paid
him 500 for his work. The son
was a college graduate, and to
them this was a concrete illustra-
ton of the value of an education.
Few Negro parents have trained
members in the family who can
help them with problems of this
nature. There is a lot of detailed
information the parents must have
to get the help they need in apply
ing for government benefits. The
average parent or Negro doesn't
know where to inquire for the in
formation
Average Parent Doesn't Know
Negro churches, fraternal orders,
civic clubs and other organizations
could meet the challenge of this
urgent need, but this writer knows
no organization in Virginia which
offers such service. There are some
notary publics who will give their
professional service in these cases,
but many families don't know they
can get this help from them.
AS a result thousands of Negro
widows and orphans have resigned
themselves to a difficult situation
and make no effort to get the
benefits due them from the gov
eminent. This is a sad picutre
and something should be done
about it.

Spider Webb Returns
To Chicago Minus
Purse From Bout

Chicago CAMP Hector Know
les, manager of challenger Ellis
worth Spider Webb told the
press last week that he and Webb
and his trainer, Carl Nelson, re-
turned to Chicago without their
$35,40O purse from the middle
weight title bout with champion
Gene Fullmer.
1t was not Immediately known
why Webb's purse was held up.
However, it was recalled that In
gemar JOhansson's purse also was
held up following his knockout of
Floyd Patterson to win the heavy
weight championship. The finan-
cial transactions were snarled by
promotional manipulation, accord
ing to testimony given before the
New York State Athletic Associa-
ton, which Investigated the fight
Knowles also disclosed that
Benny Ford, San Francisco prom
otter, offered to stage a Fullmer-
Webb title encore in that city but
Mary Jensen, Fullmers manager,
was not interested. Jensen indie
ated he would not be interested
unless it was staged in Salt Lake
City, Fullmer's hometown, Knowles
said.
In their title bout in Logan,
Utah, recently, the ring officials,
all from Utah, awarded Gene a lop-
sided 15-round decision over the
Spider" although it was generally
agreed the fight was very close
One official gave Fullmer every
round
Webb complained Afterwards
that he was robbed. He said he
would fight Fullmer again any
where except Utah.

Negro Councilman
Elected vice-MoYor
Of Toledo, Ohio

IOledo, ONO lamp - IN de-
velopment that surprised political
observers, Councilman James B.
Simmons Jr., was elected vice.
mayor of Toledo last week by a
SO councilmanic vote.
Simmons, the only Negro ever
to serve in the city council, swung
enough support his way after he
cast the key vote in the election
of Michael J. Damas as mayor.
Damas in turn nominated Sim
mons, praising his services in six
previous terms and pointing out
that he was the senior member of
the council.
What startled observers was the
fact that Simmons, a 6O-year-old
attorney, was read out of the
Democratic party before last Nov.
election. He survived by placing
eight in the field of 10 for nine
seats. Democratic leaders were
irked because Simmons supported
city-manager government.
Damas, a Democrat also, needed
one vote to assure winning the
mayoralty. A group of Negro
Democrats, timing their move per-
fectly, went to party leaders and
demanded support for Simmons.
In exchange for votes of Damas
supporters, Simmons agreed to
vote for him. Damas won by a
5-4 vote, but Simmons picked up
an additional vote to win 6-3.
City Manager league supporters
were irked by Simmons move
One of the leaders entered council
chambers, stood over him for sew
eral minutes, glaring down.
immons calmly puffed a
cigar, blowing rings of smoke in
the face of the irate man.
Some observers said he useG
racial epithets in denouncing Sim.

few points concerning these tasks
Gift wrapping is fun. Wrap the
gift to suit the personality on the
receiver and at the same time
remember the age and sex of the
person. Most men do not like
fancy bows and decorations that
will hinder their getting into the
package. Solid colored wrapping
paper tied very simply with a con-
trasting ribbon will satisfy the
men folk. Make colorful and fanci-
full gifts for the youngsters Make
them colorful and attractive so
they will be anxious to get inside.
Gifts for the feminine recipients
should be given all ones artistic
ability. The more bows and designs,
the more she will admire you and
the gift. Try your hand at gift
wrapping this Christmas. All you
need is patience, time and the
will to wrap.
There is no end to decorating
a Christmas tree. The more &C
cessories, the brighter and appeal
ing the tree will look. Experiment
ing with sprayed pink tree with
lights all one color. Don't Just
stop with decorating the Christ
mas tree. Make the entire house
look like Christmas. Have all the
family chip in and you will marvel
at the many unique ideas that
will be expressed.
Are you planning a Christmas
Party? Like, I'm sure you are
Parties add fun to any holiday
season. This is one of the surer
and better ways of greeting your
friends who are home for the
holidays. Family parties are also
in order.
Make your plans early. There
are many undeveloped ideas anC
themes for seasonal parties Try
your luck at an informal New
Years party or something similar
Don't forget anything now, have
plenty food and games. Look out
for the unexpected. Believe it OIL
not, being a host or hostess car
be great fun.
Christmas is the time to b.
happy as can be,
Happy to be living, glad to b,
free.

DePIore Widespread
Ignorance Of Vets
Benefits Among Race
BY Victor Calverton

No one knows how many thou
sands Of dollars Negroes and their
families have lost because they
failed to take advantage of bene-
fits offered in pensions and other
financial aid and service which
were and are available to veterans
or relatives of veterans who died
in the services of their country or
were partially or permanently in
capacitated as a result of war con-
nected injuries or accidents.
The average Negro family does
MT know what rights and bene-
fits a veteran has, and many vets
are unaware of government bene-
fits for them and their families.
And some who know what the
Veterans Administration has to
offer fail to take advantage of
these benefits.
The following account of the ex-
perience of Negro family in Vir-
ginia could be cited again for other
Negro families all over the South
and other parts of the country:
Two Sons In World War 1
This Negro family had two sons
in World War I. The younger son
died from an ailment which was
aggravated by service in the U. S.
Army in France. He died at Wal
ter Reed Hospital in 1920 without
ever returning home. He had $10,-
900 worth of insurance and his
mother was the beneficiary. She
knew he had the insurance but
didn't know how to execute the
papers to get her benefits.
The Veterans Administration
sent her the blanks to fill out and
information as to what she could
expect. She didn't even read the
letter carefully to find out what
it said Fortunately, she didn't
throw it away, but let this piece
of mail accumulate with other let
tiers of similar nature.
During the summer of 1928 the
mothers son came home for a
vacation, and one day while clean
ing out the kitchen in the yard
found the letter sent from the
Veterans Administration He read
it, and Immediately explained to
his mother what the contents
were.
She was little skeptical, but
he insisted that the forms be filled
out, and set a time to have a con-
ference with his mother and father
to get the information he needed.
He filled out the forms and sent
them to Washington.
Mother "StiIl SkepticaP'
The mother was still skeptical,
but in six weeks the family re-
ceived a reply asking for further
information. The last problem to
solve was to secure the birth GER
tificate or furnish the information
which would prove that the dead
veterans mother was the woman
who was applying for the insur.
ance benefits.
The veteran was born at a time
when Virginia was not keeping
vital statistic records. The next
move was to have an affidavit
made and notarized and witnessed
by three persons who knew the
mother and son and their relation,
ship.
The affidavit was sent to the
Veterans Administration. But moth
ing was heard from it for severa
weeks, then one Saturday in Aug
the parents were pleasantly sur
prised when a check for $1,734
