BIUefield Hotel BarS Negroes,
w. Va. LegionnoireS
Ponder Next Move

Charleston, w. Va. (ANP) - A
civil rights controversy boiled up
last week over the State Ameri-
can Legion convention scheduled
in Bluefield, July 1928, after the
convention headquarters hotel re-
fused accommodations to Negro
Legionnaires.
H. s. Burnett, manager Of the
West VirginIan Hotel at Bluefield,
said that despite a protest from a
Legion post and the West Virginia
Human Rights Commission, I'VE
don't intend to change our policy
no matter what happens"
The nare-up came a few days
after Legion headquarters in In
dianapolis threatened to cancel a
Sept. 6-12 national convention set
for New Orleans because Of posi-
BILE discrimination against Negro
delegates in hotels and restaurant.

evolve into a permanent national
organization with the purpose of
Identifying the American Negroes
consciousness with sub-Sahara AZ
RIGA. The decision was made at a
meeting at the Roosevelt Hotel by
the committee that organized the
American Negro Conference on
Africa at Arden House, Hartman,
New York, last November.
The historic November gather
ing. which was covered by William
A Payne on AMPS United Ma
tons Bureau, was attended by 100
Of the nations top Negro leaders,
representing major civil rights, re-
ligious, labor and educational or
CARNATIONS. It marked the first
time in us. history that such a
large delegation Of Negro leaders
had assembled to discuss problems
Of the African countries. At this
initial meeting the Conference an
nounced plans to help influence
US. policy In Africa.
While the committee had earlier
decided to continue in existence as
a nucleus for a permanent body,
the forming of the naison is viewed
as a new and significant step.
s. o. Adefo, permanent repre-
sentative of Nigeria at the United
Nations, took part In the session
Of the American Negro leaders. He
was inundated by his African col
leagues at the UN to represent
them.
Roy wilkins, who recently told
q West Berlin conference Of the
us. Negroes plans to "offer coun-
sci to emerging and developing
peoples" said the decision to es-
tablish a permanent liaison with
the African states had grown out
of the Arden House conference.
The purpose Of this liaison effort,
the NAACP leader explained, was
to discuss problems Of mutual in
terest and to support each groups
aspirations.
Informed sources said the meet
ing was devoted in part to a dis
cussion Of the organizational forms
and the financing of a future per-
manent organization to heighten
the American Negroes interest in
Africa.
The committee received a SYM
pathetic hearing from President
Kennedy in an hour-long discussion

Lived Here SIS Years
Although his residence as a
rancher of eastern Montana
had only been since 1908 he
came to this state in 1898 as a
wool buyer for a Boston firm.
He later bought his fathers
interests in the Fox Creek
ranch and quickly converted it
from sheep to cattle. His color
full outdoor life as a western
stockman never detracted from
his honest method of living
nor did it change his soft
spoken New England accent
which he retained during these
years.
The Merrill ranch is one of
the Oldest livestock enterprises

was first owned by Merrill and

once took a pack trip with him
and his wife.
On September l, 1904, Mr..
Merrill was married to Alice
Abbott at Waterville. Maine.
After a brief period in western
Montana they located. in Min

rem were born. He was en-
gagged in sheep feeding at New
Brighton, Minnesota, and then
came west to operate and later

In a speech before a joint
farmer-labor rally at Henryet-
ia, Okla, on Labor Day, Presi-
dent Patton took a swing at the
radical right wing, saying:
when we realize even a lit
tie of what these Self-seekers
are doing every day to our dem
ocratic processes and to our
thinking, we understand such
events as the failure of the
wheat referendum a few
months ago. Spearheaded by a
so-called farm organization, a
great drive was mounted to
vote against such phoney is
sues as recommendations die
tatorship, and government
controls"
He went on to say: Chow
does the radical right work?
Well, first they are against
Communism. Then they are
for religion. Then having con-
WINGED everyone that they have
nothing but good intentions,
they get on to the real reason
for their acts. They are against
labor unions: Because, they
say, labor unions are 'monopo-
lists and because the unions
are leading the country down
to socialism, They are against
the Rural Electric Co-ops be-
cause, they say, this too is So
cialism.' Sometimes they even
call the REA Communist. t.
They are against any kind Of
a sensible farm program be-
cause it might keep some Oh
the farm income with family
farmers instead of siphoning il
all off into the pockets of cor
porate farm operators and bis
business interests"
President Patton further
pointed out the need for coop.
GRAFTON between Americas fam.
lily farmers and city factory
workers. "I'm here to tell VOL
that we in Farmers Mon are
always looking for allies with
common needs. In Oklahoma.
