Negro counciIFnon
Elected Vice-MuYoF
Of Toledo, Ohio

Toledo, Ohio (ANP) - In a 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.
8 election. He survived by placing
eight in the field Of Is 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.
simm mons calmly puffed a
cigar, blowing rings of smoke in
the face Of the irate man.
Some observers said he used
racial epithets in denouncing Sim
mons.

ference with his mother and father
to get the information he needed.
He filled out the forms and sent
them to Washington.
Mother "stm sIeptacaP
The mother was sim slSeptical,
but in six weeks the family re-
ceived a reply asldng 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 q 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 II for several
weeks. then one Saturday in Aug.
the parents were pleasantly sur
prised when a check for S1,734
was received In the mail for each
parent. They were 50 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 win 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 q sad picutre
and something should be done
about it.
