Marian Anderson
Records New Album

In her first studio recording in
nearly ten years, the beloved Ma
rian Anderson is heard singing
nineteen sirituals, including the
albums title song Hes Got the
Whole World In His Hands,"
Many of the sirituals heard in
the album have never before been
recorded by Miss Anderson. Only
two, the title song and "Some.
times | Feel Like a Motherless
Child" are Implications from her
earlier best selling album, Mari,
an Anderson Sings SpiritualS." The
new album includes such favorites
as ''Dere's No Hidin' Place, "Oh
Didn't it Rain," ''My Souls been
Anchored in de Lord, ''Scanda-
lize my Name" and Hard Trials. .
Piano accomaniments by Franz
Rupp lend a sense of intimacy to
these revered sirituals, and the
warmth, simlicity and sincerity
which have always been the uni
que qualities of Marian Anderson's
singing are heard at their purest.
The album text includes an adap-
ton of Edward R. MurrOW' S
text for 'The Lady From Phila-
delphia," which was produced by
Murrow and Fred w. Friendly as
part of thei r'See it Now series

Arthur Chaplin, special assistant
to Secretary Arthur Goldberg,
will confer in Phoenix and Santa
Fe with state officials at time
not yet determined. He will make
the investigation as a result ol
charges made by the National
Association for the Advancement
of I Colored People that the two
state employment services have
taken and filled discriminatory
job orders.
Labor Department authorities
pointed out that the law forbids
racial determinations in taking
and filling job orders by the en-
ployment services, especially with
respect to defense contractors.
In Arizona's case, the NAACP
also charged that discrimination
was practiced within the employ
ment service itself with respect
to promotion and job opportunity.
The Arizona case involved a
phone call from an official of the
state employment service inform
ing the state welfare department
that assembly line jobs were
available at a local industry for
welfare recipients.
The welfare worker who took
the call then distributed an inter
office memorandum saying the
JOBS, were available only to white
welfare recipients who qualified
for that type Of work.
welfare officials explained lat
er that the caseworker misunder-
stood the phone conversation from
the state employment service and
that the memo circulated in the
welfare department was in error.
THE state employment service
did mot specify that the jobs were
available to white persons only.

its actions, it apparently contends

Third PdrtY In Arizona

"For the first time in American

way to endorse the idea of world
constitution. This statement was
made recently at press confer
ance held by Thane Reed. Many
organizations have advocated a
world constitution, he said, but as
far as he knows, this is the first
time that political party has
started with this as a basis for
its platform.
If the camaign goes as exect-
ed this group, The American Fed
eral Party which Mr.. Read rep
resents, hopes to point out very
strongly that the other two parties
are advocating a method of pre-
venting war that has never work
ed. The American Federal Party
says they are presenting a plan
that has succeeded on every level
where it has been tried the in
Stitution of law.
They state that many of the
problems that confront those who
are developing a world consti-
tuition of the United States. This
organization feels that many OF
the solutions our forefathers found
for their difficulties will now ap-
ply to the problems now faced by
the founders of a world cOnstltu-
ton. In this call that has already
been issued there is great SIM
plarty to the call that was issued
by twelve individuals in Maryland
in 1887, they claim.

Of war arms, for so many years,

POLICEMAN RE1IRES
Came To Phoenix In
1922, Decided Not
To Be A Doctor

After twenty years of service
Leon Thompson. 1889 South 9Th
Avenue, retired on March 8, 1862
from the Phoenix Police Depart
ment.
Mr.. Thompson came to Phoe-
nix from Albuquerque, New MexI-
co in 1929. He completed grade
school at Dunbar and Booker 7.
Washington schools and then grad
uated from Phoenix Union High
School, after which he attended
Phoenix Junior College.
Mr.. Thompson took pre-medi-
cal course at Phoenix Junior Col
lege but, at that time, he says
that number of civic leaders
went to him and urged him to be-
come candidate for the Phoenix
Police Department. After much
consideration, Mr.. Thompson
states that he made the decision
to give up his plans of becoming
doctor and to become police
man instead where he felt he could
be of the greatest immediate help
to his people. This was in 1871, and
it was very difficult then, as now,
Mr.. Thompson said. to find quali-
| fled men who were willing to give
up other duties and devote their
time and effort to bringing about
peace, law and order. Because
of this, he says, and because of
the urging of my mother and neigh
bors and friends who were victims
of thefts and other crimes felt
it was my duty to become a part
of the Phoenix Police Department
and help make the city nicer
place in which to live.
The requirements for anyone
aspiring to place on the police
force are a clean moral record
and adequate education. Leon
Thompson fulfilled these require
|ments and became a member of
the force after which he was pro-
moted to the anti-vice squad. La
ter he was promoted to the de-
partment of detectives where he
worked for several years. During
this time this particular depart
ment shows a record Of reduction
in crimes.
Leon Thompson took several col
llege courses and police courses
during his 20 years in the depart
ment. Some of these courses were
hdman relations, personnel adj
ministration and police admins
tratiOn.
In 1858 Mr.. Thompson was as
signed as school crossing guard
in the city. t'This," Mr.. Thomp-
son says, ''was the biggest pro-
motion in my career, for this waD
the first time in the history of the
city that a Negro officer had been
put. in an all white district to
work. -
Mr.. Thompson says that Chief
Thomas was somewhat concerned
at first as to how people might
react and for a few days he re-
ceived some telephone calls COM
planning about the Negro officer.
However" Mr. Thompson tells
us, latter about two weeks the
chief began to receive telephone
calls complimenting the crossing
guard. Some of these calls were
from the same people who had
complained in the beginning
At this crossing several hund-
red children passed each day to
60 to a nearby school and, at that
time, there were no Negro children
among them.
In 1857 Mr.. Thompson was cri-
