CLUBS. but by 1873 Ine JOD OF Manu-
ling newcomers required the serv-
ices of a full-time person, and
having no finances other than that
taken up by the Churches, a group
appealed to the Community Chest
for help.
The Negro leaders were told that
money from the Chest, if available,
could only be given to a recognized
social agency. The group then de-
cided to write the National Office
of the Urban League for informa-
ton concerning the organization.
The National Office stated that it
would be glad to send a representa-
tive to st. Paul to meet with the
group and help with the establish
ment of a branch of the Urban
League.
On July 2, 1928, a group of AS
persons met at the Pilgrim Baptist
Church to hear T. Arnold Hill,
Western Field Secretary of the
National Urban League, explain
the work of the League. The group
adopted a constitution and bylaws
as branch of the Urban League,
and Mr.. Hill agreed to appear with
them before the Community Chest
in order to help raise funds.
At the meeting, representatives
from the Chamber of Commerce
opposed the League on the grounds
that it would bring in more Ne
groes. Mr.. Hill argued that such
was not the Leagues intention; it
was interested only in those al
ready settled. He stated that the
League would not oppose migration
nor would it encourage it, and
went on to state that since con-
tinued migration was inevitable,
it would be better to have an
organization to help ease the prob
lem of adjustment and prevent
serious racial tension.
At first the group was refused
its request. A second appeal proved
successful; but the group was told
that there was only $500 available
since the 1928 drive was over and
all the other money had been ap-
propriated. The group was assured
that the League would be included
in the 1924 budget, and it was
suggested that the balance for
1928 be raised by the Negroes
themselves as an indication of their
desire for the organization.
A mass meeting was held at
both the large churches and the
Leagues program was explained
to the people. The majority of the
response was favorable but there
were some who were suspicious of
the interracial nature of the Board.
These persons felt that the League

Lester Granger Says
Much has been accomplished
But. in the words of Lester B
Granger, national executive direc-
tor of the Urban League:
While it is true that we have
registered gains in employment,
there still exists a wide economic
gap between the white and the
non-white population. A revolution
has come about in public education,
but the historic day of May II,
1854, was the beginning of a series
of community problems which
must be solved through effective
social action. Housing is still a
frustrating challenge to community
planners. Many colored youths need
job and career guidance special
effort to insure their receiving the
same guidance advantage as their
white fellows"
League Meets Challenges
The League has boldly met these
new challenges, its policies reaf-
firmed by the Board Convention
in 1855 It continues its work
through its Industrial Relations,

EDITORIAL
L. Use the Same YardStick

ENIDEL CASTRO, in his satanic violence could
l. not have believed that the day would come
when he would be measured with the same yard
stick with which he measured BatiSta, and that
his own system of guerilla warfare and terrorism
would be used against his evil and brutal Gov
ernment. Today, Manuel Beaton is repeating
CaStroS maneuverS of two years ago, and is
occupying the same hideouts in the Sierra
Maestro in which the bearded major installed his
horde of incipient evil-doers.
The time has come for Castro to remember
his own biography and to reconstruct events.
His original force was also small one but be-
cause of its hatred of Batista it rallied and re-
Cruited thousands who had been victims of the
fugitive dictator. Now the new dictator is even
more hated as traitor and confiScator of for
elgn assets. CaStro'S outrageS have reached
degree never reached by BatiSta and he is man
condemned to fall and to 60 into hiding. Those
who follow Castro, even his most intimate friends,
must follow him blindly or suffer personal de-
Struction All have been witnesses of the SUBJ
merging and annihilation of those who doubted
Castro and the names of Hubert MatoS and
Camilo CienfuegoS are repeated with terror.
The multitudeS that gather for CastroS spec
tacleS are composed of Sheep-like individuals who
are SubServient to all leaders and faithful to
none. On the very eve of BatistaS downfall the
same faceleSs masses demonstrated in his behalf
even as they today pay homage to Castro.
Castro has deceived the whole world, and
only few sections of the peasant class still hold
out hopes that the promised distribution of land
will be made The vast majority already realize
that they will never benefit since it is only a
matter of the collectivization of land under the
system initiated by Mao Use Tung in China.
The working people detest Castro because
they have had their earnings reduced, they have
been fleeced and Inundated. Tens of thousands
have been enslaved and are panic-stricken.
1t is absolutely certain, therefore, that the
30 men who have taken refuge in the Sierra
Maestro with Manuel Beaton will repeat Castros
feat of two years ago and will increase like foam
when people from every sphere of life join them
in rising tide of rebellion against the evil die
tator. These 80 men are the nucleus for great
army which will bring about the destruction of
Castro and after its victory, will aSsuredly take
over the Government and implant its own form
of tyranny. However, perhaps the painful expert
ence of Castro has revealed to the people that
they should not bindly trust those who present
themselves as their Saviours, and they will only
give Beaton the backing necessary to permit him
to overthrow the dictator and establish a regime
of democracy and decency in Cuba.
However, that will come later. For the mo-
ment, what is most urgent is to combat to de-
molish the atrocious tyranny of the bearded one
and his followers and to free the island of the
control of that mad beast The rest will follow
as course.

juvenile is picked up twice
within a year for lettering. he
would be turned over to the
Metropolitan Police Depart
ment's Youth Aid Division and
from there might be sent to the
court, he explained.
Other committee criticisms
are that:
l. The regulations would hold
parents responsible for their
children's actions.
2. The regulations would Gre
ate further problems by forcing
juveniles to congregate in ad-
joining areas in Maryland and
Virginia that are not subject to
similar rules.
If the District wants to curb
lettering, Mr.. Miller said, it
should enforce statutes already
on the books. Vagrancy regula-
tions, for example, already pro-
