Losing Peace

The Negroes in Washington
may have won the war" for
equal rights, but lost the
peace" Mrs. Jewell r. Mazique
told the Oldest Inhabitants,
Inc. last night,
I'VE (the Negroes) here in
Washington are exploited and
Disseminated against still, not
by law but by custom and ira
dition of whites acting still
through power politics." the
speaker said. '"The multitude of
Negroes here are as strikingly
subservient and collectively de-
pendent economically as they
were a quarter of century
ago." she added.
Mrs. Mazique called on the
Oldest Inhabitants, Inc, "an
organization which has already
been in existence for so years
and dedicated itself to a pro-
gram for Negroes, of Negroes
and by Negroes" to assert itself
on the Negroes behalf.
Earlier in the program, the
Oldest Inhabitants, Inc, honor

Mr.. Forester had worked as

Newsboy's Big Heart
Recognized by Club

KINCSPORT, Tenn, Dec. 81
(AP).-The little newsboy kept
walking past the Salvation
Army Christmas collection ket-
tie. Each trip he dropped in
2 cents.
An Exchange Club member,
helping man the kettle station,
finally figured it out. The g.
year-old boy was donating his
? cents profit from each paper
sale.
Just to be sure, the clubman
went up and purchased a paper
and gave the boy a nickel tip.
A few minutes later the boy
was back at the kettle. This
time he dropped in 7 cents.

Salvation Army records
showed that Gary is one of, five
children, aged 2 to 13. The
parents have worked irregularly
this year, with the top income

Rendova Base Set Up
Patrol duty in the RusSells
was as uneventful as it had
been in Tulagi. But before long
more serious matters we're en-
gaging their attention.
Following preliminary land
ingS on New Georgia by units
of the 4th Marine Raider Bat
talon and the 103rd Infantry
and heavy air raids on the
Munda airstrip, the massive
invasion fleet sailed across the
Solomon Sea. On D-Day, June
80, the most important of sew
eral landings was made on the
north coast of Rendova, where
Comdr. Kelly proceeded to set
up base for the PIT opera
tions in the New Georgia cam
paign.
PIT 109's mission in the hours
of darkness preceding the
landings was to patrol an area
between the Russells and New
Georgia, with her torpedoes
ready to help defend the con-
voys from any attacks on the
flankS.
1t. Kennedy'S patrol vas un-
eventful except that during the
night the weather became in
creasingly dirty. By morning
the gray sea was buffeting the
PIT boats brutally. On deck it
was a feat to stand up without
holding onto a ventilator or
gun mount. Men off watch
staggered below to lie on their
hunks to guard against broken
limbs. Even in bed they were
tossed around like sacks. Ed
mund Drewitch, who had |
climbed into a lower bunk. had |
the greatest difficulty in stay
ing in bed at all.
Boat in Distress
PIT 109's orders were to re-
turn to the RusSells upon the
completion of the patrol, and
she was making her way back
tortuously when an accomp-
anying boat sent up a distress
signal. 1t. Kennedy showed his
three throttleS forward and
turned his wheel toward the
stricken boat. The thought
crossed his mind that this was
a fine time for an 80-foot boat
with a plywood hull to develop
trouble at sea. After laboring
up mountains and plunging
down valleys he finally reach
ed the other boat, to find that
the savage waves had knocked
a large patch off her hull. She
was taking on water, although
a mattress stuffed into the
hole was averting disaster for
the time being.
Above the wind the skipper
of the boat hollered to 1t.
Kennedy that he badly needed

Injury-plagued Don Mossi

combination that made them
one of the top relief pitching
pairs in the majors.
The former bullpen special

continued to toll spectacularly
until traded to Detroit in 1858,
picked up victories yesterday
as the Tigers won a pair of

Mossi compiled a 9-8 record
with a BAT earned-run average
although slowed by a sore arm
over the last half Of the 1860
campaign. Yesterday he hurled
effectively for five innings in
a 14-1 victory over Washing

Narleski, sidelined for the en-

tured disc in his back, allowed
three runs in his first inning
