Bundle Sees No
War in Sight
NEW YORK.—Dr. Ralph J.
Bunche, 1950 Nobel peace prize
winner, said this week he does
not think there is likely to be
!a major global conflict soon. |
But Dr. Bunche, who won the
award far his mediation efforts
between the Arabs and the Jews
that brought an end to the shoot
ing war in Palestine, does not
eliminate the possibility of new
local outbreaks of fighting.
In an article in the November
issue of the United Nations
World magazine. Dr. Bunche ex
plains his optimism is based on
the promptness with which the
UN met the aggression in Korea.
“It is unfortunate,” he said,
“that a peace organization should
have to resort to force. Yet
there is no contradiction be
tween the UN’s peace aims and
armed intervention in Korea. All
who hope for peace must be
j reassured by the fact that the
United Nations did take this ex
treme step when the situation
demanded it.”

streets, and to be safeguarded in

concerning the city politics. Se

In Nov. Election, ANPns Poll Reveals
Chest Drive
Maintaining
Pace of 1949
Lincoln’s 1950 Community Chest
campaign is progressing as well as
last year’s for the same period,
Carl W. Olson, general chairman
said Saturday.
A review of the five days of
reporting up to noon Friday

goal has been reached. Last year
82 percent of the goal had been
reached in the first five days of
solicitation.

THIS YEAR 533 firms and
other units have reported their
employes as meeting their goals.
Last year there were 481 at this
time.
There has been a marked in
crease in number of subscribers,
according to Olson. This year
there are 21,510 to date as com

Awards in the form of minia

OLSON SAID “All in all, it is
a satisfactory condition going
into the home stretch, and if the
workers will work over their as

CHICAGO. (AND. Though a good number of Negroes
will again cast their votes with the party of Lincoln on Nov.
7, the vast majority will line up with Democrats.
According to a cross-country survey made by the As
sociated Negro Press, the Democrats will carry the Negro
vote on the state level in all the northern and border states.
Though now about one million strong in the south, the
Negro vote will have no effect in the November election
which was decisive in the primaries.
The 1,000 Negroes polled were
asked:
(1) How do you expect the
Negro vote in your area to go
in the coming election? Repub
lican or Democratic?
(2) How will the Negro vote
go for U. S. senator in your city
and state? How, for congress in
your district? Please give the
name of the candidate for the
Senate whom you think will win
and the name of the congres
sional candidate?
(3) What vital issues affecting
Negroes are being raised in your
area?
(4) Are any Negro candidates
running? For what offices? What
are their chances?
(5) Are Negro men and women
especially active in the cam
paign? What colored people are
most outstanding in the cam
paign or political picture there?
The outstanding fact revealed
in the poll was that the Negro
is interested in the man who is
going to give him civil rights and
is voting for him.
The most unique incident was
the finding of a 90-year-old Chi
cago woman who will vote for
the first time in the Nov. 7 elec
tion. Born in slavery days in
Guadalupe, Tex., Mrs. Nettie
Alma Patterson, lived in the
south until she came to Chicago
five years ago. Her precinct cap
tain said he found it difficult to
get her to realize that voting
was her right. When ANP’s re
porter asked her how she would
vote, she unhesitatingly an
swered, ‘‘A straight Democratic
ticket.”

“I am strongly of the opinion
that the great majority of Ne

crats have created and are
maintaining a welfare state.
“If Negroes are only interested
in the handouts by Democrats,
such a situation is regrettable

Another phase of the expansion
program of Gold & Co., was an
nounced by Nathan J. Gold, Presi
dent, in the construction of a
modem 4-story and basement
building which will join the pres
ent store building. It will oc
cupy the quarter of the block at
the northeast comer of 10th and
“N” streets. This building will
be similar in style to the present
Gold & Co., building and will
represent another achievement in
the panorama which is taking
place in the city of Lincoln.
The Food Basket, which is the
grocery division of Gold & Co.,
will occupy the complete first
floor of the new building which
will be 115x142. The second floor
will be occupied by a new lunch
eonette; and there will be a
bridge joining the two buildings
on the second, third and fourth
floors. The third and fourth floors
will allow for the expansion of
various fast-growing merchandis
ing departments. There will also
be a new rest room and lounge
for women on the third floor.
The building will be modern in
every respect with t-vo entrances
from the street . . . one on the
corner at 10th and “N”; the other
on the “N” street side leading
directly to the luncheonette. The
building was designed by Davis
