Dayton, Ohio : A need to recog-
nize that the Urban League as a
movement is at war" against
prejudice and discrimination was
voiced at the close of the National
Urban League Conference by Whit
ney M. Young, Jr, executive d.
rector-elect of the organization.
Mr.. Young, who on Oct. l will
succeed Lester B. Granger in the
post the latter has held for twenty
years, spoke at the annual ban
quet speakers-Mr. Young; George
LIP Weaver, assistant U. S. Sec
retary of Labor, and Louis B. Self
ger, Editor of The Cleveland Press.
In his address, Mr.. Young point
ed emphatically to an urgent need
that I'VE must recognize also that
we are at war against apathy and
indifference; that we are at war
against naturalization. greed, sell
fishness and ignorance.
He said that the years ahead
are challenge to the League
movement that all America must
understand that the null is en-
gagged in "a crusade for justice,
for decency for morality, honesty
and frankneSS. 1t is a crusade,
he added, ito put into operational
framework on a day-to-day, per-
son-to-person basis the American
creed and democratic promise.
Ours is an obligation, most i'm
mediate to the Negro citizen or
other minorities whom we serve,
but in the final analysis it is a
responsibility to America as it
faces its greatest hour of challenge.
"America-Capitalism, free en-
terprise (call it what you wil)-
in the final analysis will have a
meaning and attractiveness to
three-fourths of this worlds pop

the non-White citizen in this coun-

kAACP Defends
Death Sentence

Atlanta - D. L. HollOwell, at
torney for the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People in Georgia, has been re-
tanned to defend 15-year-old Pres
ton Cobb who, charged with the
Staying of a white man, was con-
victed by an all-white jury i'll
Monticello, Ca, last month. He
received the death sentence.
Following investigation of the
case by Vernon E.. Jordan, NAA.
CP field secretary for Georgia,
Mr.. Hollowell was retained at the
request of Mrs. Leatha Cobb, mo-
ther of the convicted boy. The
lawyer is reviewing the court re-
cord to determine whether there
are discrepancies and errors
which would justify a petition for
a new trial. He has until Septem-
ber 16 to file for a retrial.
The NAACP investigation re-
vealed that no Negro has served
on a jury in Jackson County,
where the crime was committed
and the trial held, for more than
40 years; that the court-appOinted
attorney failed to raise pertinent
constitutional issues; and that
there is possibility that persons
other than young Cobb were in
volved in the murder.
Frank Coleman Dumas, the
slain man, was a farmer and the
employer of Mrs. Cobb, widow,
who with her children lived on
the Dumas plantation in dwell
ing not far from the big house"
occupied by the Dumas family.
The Staying followed a quarrel
last June between Mr.. Dumas and
Preston Cobb.

Emmett W. Chappelle was born
in Phoenix on South 10th Street,
the son of Mr.. Moses and Mrs.
Viola Chappelle two fine parents
who wanted their son to. get an
education and to be somebody He
attended elementary school in the
little bare, one room, one teacher,
Negro segregated school, known
as Fortieth Street School, in the
Wilson District. It was nothing like
the well equipped elementary
schools our children attend today.
But it had teacher who loved
children and wanted them to suc-
ceed. Mrs. Matte Scott, now re-
tired, says that Emmett worked
hard with his books, listened when
other children might be playing,
even as a very little boy, and she
gave him all she had as a teacher
and he accepted it.
From this one-room, neglected
little elementary school Emmett
went on to Carver High School.
wonder now how he ever was able
to get from South 10th Street to
4th and Grant in those days but
he evidently made it regularly.
At Carver he made use of the linn
tied facilities he found there and
was fortunate to have Umphie
Coleman, now DR.. Coleman, as his
biology teacher. Then there was
no library and none of the ex-
cellent equipment that Carver had
later but Mr.. Coleman had de-
veloped an unusually fine biology
laboratory and Emmett again took
every advantage of what there was
to work with and, probably, in that
laboratory began to dream of q
career in biological science.
On June 7, 1943 Emmett grad
uated from Carver at the top Of
his class of twenty-three and was
valedictorian on his commence
ment program.
At Carver one of his classmates
was Rosemary Phillips whom EN-
NETT later married. He and Rose
mary both wanted to 60 to college
though the future was DINNER then
for Phoenix Negro children than
it is now. So they very wisely
waited until they knew that, with
