Bias Treatment of
Negro Reporters
In South Scored

NEW YORK-In a resolution
unanimously adopted by the 300
delegates to the American News
paper Guild convention in New
York, all publishers and editors
were urged to help end the prac-
tice which relegates Negro repor-
ters to the status of second class
citizens. The resolution cited the
experience of Ted Poston of the
New York Post who was forced
to cover the Tallahassee trial from
a segregated area. Similar Incl
dents In which professional news
papermen were subjected to indig-
mites and hindered in their work
by racial discrimination have con-
tinued to take place, according to
the resolution.
The convention commended the
many Guild locals which have ac-
tive programs to combat discrim-
ination in the newspaper industry
and in their communities, and urg
ed that all locals establish human
rights committees. A Human Re-
lations Program was outlined by
the convention which included ne
gotiating fair employment prae-
tees clauses, working with other
interested organizations in OBJ
tanning fair employment practices
legislation and insisting upon
free access to all public informa
ton. The Guilds Human Rights
Subcommittee report noted that
during the past fiscal year four
new fair employment practices
clauses were negotiated.

ON YOUR
METAL!

Old lamps can cast new light
Nearly any early brass lamp
can be easily converted to cleo
tricity. ScreW-in adapters and
socketand-cord sets, available
from many sources, are all you
need. So look around the attic,
or do bit of hunting at auc-
tions or secondhand shops, and
try to come up with one of
these lovely brass lamps. Pol
ish all brass parts, install the
new parts-and put a bright
new light on a room of any
period.
Another trick to make an old
room look new: replace old
pulls, knobs and hinges on
cabinets and built-ins with
solid copper or brass hardware.
These pieces come in a variety
of patterns, including ham,
mered designs to harmonic
with the popular Early Ameri-
can decoration scheme, and add
shining eye appeal to any room
in the house.
Tub Tales
Speaking of the copper met
ais, Benjamin Franklin brought
the first formal bathtub to our
shores. 1t was made of copper
in the shape of a huge shoe,
with a crate in the "heel' to
heat the water!
First bathtub in the White
House was bought for $40 in
1919. This was a simple copper
.ub without running water. The
first running water tubs were
installed in 1877 by President
Hayes.
And the smartest looking
modern bathrooms are bene-
fitting from use of copper, too.
Solid copper or brass tile, as
high on the wall as you like;
towel racks; soap dishes hang
Ing shelves-all bright touches
TO make the bathroom a thing
Of beautyl

Il. L. Burgess, editor of the
Labor Journal which is the of
flcial publication of the Central
Labor Council and the Alameda
County Building Trades Council.
was taken to task by an Oak
lahd reader. Said the Oakland
man in part IF one will take the
trouble to go through the South
and talk to Negroes and whites
HVlng there, as | did, in the.
summer of 1868. they will find
that at least 3 out of Negroes
want separate schools and a sep
arate part of town to live in.
Answered Burgess: 1.-The edi-
tor was born and spent his youth
In the South, and has been back
there many times. Negroes living
under the conditions prevailing
there don't always voice their
real sentiments They don't dare.
This argument that folks don't
want what they're asking for was
used when women asked for the
vote, and it's used now by EN-
ployers who say working people
don't want unions"

NEW YORK. Sept. IL (AP).
The Transit Authority police,
who patrol the city subways,
have offered TO pound beats in

an effort to curb the city's teen

In the two most recent out
breaks Of teen-age violence an
l8-year-old boy was stabbed in
a fight between two groups Of
youths on Manhattan's lower
East Side. and a white woman

Doctors took AZ stitches to
close five superficial knife
wounds on the boys back, and
he was released from a hospital.
Police said the fight broke out
early today after insulting re-
marks were passed about sew
eral. girls.
The outbreaks were the
latest in a series Of teen-age
crimes that have claimed II
lives this year.
500 Patrolmen Involved
The offer yesterday from
the transit authority police, If
accepted. would add 500 foot
patrolmen to the force tenn
porarily. The city's UNDER
strength force has already been

her way to work in an all
