with Lennox (Coutiuued from Page 1) *aun:ty, and with a persona! observa tion you could readily see our reason for seeking this reduction, knowing you would sympathize with conditions We are hop ng you will make a close •vest - ation of these situations, with our support at your retiuesC and give th is matter your hearty cooperation. Thanking you very much for what ever future consideration you may Stive along these lines, we are Respectfully yours, Omaha Working Men’s Commissioners, Dr. G. B. Lennox, Pres. lUr C. R Lennox. North 24* h St., Omaha. Nebr. Denr Sir: Replying t«> your letter of May 27th will state that I have given the matt nr referred to in your letter close consideration and in 1932 and also in 1933 this district will receive the high «e*t percentage of reduction of any resurlentisl district in Omaha and I think the district has been treated very fairly. Yours very truly, Sam K. Greenleaf, County Assessor. June 12, 1933. Mr. Sam K. Greenleaf, County Assessor, 'Court H< u-e. Omaha, Nebraska, l>rar Sir: I have your letter of June 5th in reply to my one of May 27th, thank, ing you for all considerations given ** regards to a community that has 1 Wen held down relative to employ, went, and taxed beyond their propor tion of income. We realize the tax reduction of 1932 and *33, a total of approximately 38 pew» nt You also state this is the highest percent of reduction in any j resident sal district of Omaha, which way be true, but not so taking into ‘consideration the vast numbers of un. employed and the average salary re. • served by those who are working, 'cmapared with the salaries of individ uals of other communities. I believe y*u mean to be fair with an. never doubting the veracity of the ! internal attitude of anyone, but not firing in „ position as I, it is impos. airle for you to really know this -community and its situation. It is your civic duty to interest yourself nngarding this matter and to make a personal investigation of same. We fully believe that you will, and pcnording to the economic situation of today with this district, you will reconsider and give them a reduction of 60 percent or more. We live in a ■district that has ben continually de -rued their prorata of employment and always placed at the bottom of the fist regarding same, yet paying taxes in proportion to others, and in some instances a higher rate. Thanking you again for further in wedtigations you may make, and hoping you will reconsider this reduc tion. I am Respectfully yours. Dr. G. B. Lennox, Pres. Omaha Working Men's Com. Base all KANSAS CITY MONARCH TO PLAY HERE — The Kansas City Monarchs, world champion Colored baseball club, will play the Clink Clair City Club at Western League Park Saturday, June 17th and Sunday, June 18th at 8:30 P. m. DOINGS AMONG THE AMATEURS On out and round in this man’s | league, we find things just the re verse. You remember something to this effect, U. P. Boosters—14, Hol mes 3. Cudahy Rex—6. Globe Trot ters, 5. Wei, on this 2nd spree just turn the thing around only leave the playing grounds the same. For now those up and at em Holmes have done nothing else but run the Rex into a tie for 2nd place. Do you know that they have whipped everything in the league soundly except the Trotters. This Sunday will find their big guns set for them. What the opposing heads have up their sleeves remains to be seen. The Holmes returned to the Boos ters what they received in the first encounter. They ran Bud Lawson until his tongue hung out. They hop ned on Doc Manger for 5 runs then took John Lowe for 7 more and were i calling for G. Davis when the game was called. Holmes 12. Booster 5. Globe Trotters Take Lead The South Side Globe Trotters showed to the fans that they can take a lead and at least hold it long enough to win a game. Bit Red, manager of Dago’s.

Ernie made several costly errors. Lawson lost heart on Smith’s hit and allowed it to go for a ho (1) mer. Grays’ hitting is improving, almost undressed Doc. Trirg of the Boosters has a sore pedal. Limps a little. Stanley is on the job. Keeps bench es free of visitors and fines players if caught smoking in uniforms. !Wakefield batted 1000. getting 4 hits. Being hit twice by pitched balls and getting a single and a triple. Arvin let Freddie’s drive go thru his hands for three bases. Kirksey had the Rex shut out for venin innings two errors took the strain off the packers. Liggins looks good in right field for the Trotters. Hilton went deep into center field to take a throw from fellows to stop Clements at the plate. Clement hit a terrific smash into deep center send ing Fellows to the fence. Clem tried to make a homer out of it.

Here is a diagram explaining some of the stunts to be seen at the third annual Omaha Air races, to be held at Municipal airport on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week. These will be performed by experts in addition to the high-speed races, parachute drops and other thrills of the Air Races. Thrills Gaicre Omaha, Nebr., June 14—The city of Omaha has been besieged and lit ! erally captured by aircraft during the past two days, but the occasion is not warlike. It’s the opening of the third annual Omaha Air Races, to be con ducted Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week at the Omaha municipal airport. Two hundred planes will be on hand during the meet, dozens of them competing in the various events. Each day’s program, beginning at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, will have some special features, climaxing with the two-man, two.mile high, delayed opening parachute jump on Sunday afternoon, in which Clem Sohn and Wayne Wagner drop within 1,000 feet of the ground before pulling the rip cords to open their parachutes. The 9,000 foot sheer drop of their bodies takes only a few moments, but it is the outstanding thrill of the meet, with thousands heaving a sigh of re lief when the daring jumpers open the ’chutes and break their dizzy falls. Speed races, with contestants zoom ing around the triangular course at over 200 miles per hour, will feautre Johnny Livingston, Art Davis, Mar cellus King, Harold Neumann, Roy Hunt and other noted pilots. Bettie Lund, world’s greatest woman stunt flier; Frank Faulkner, tutor of the “educated autogyro”, and George Bur rell, who will stunt a huge all metal, 10 pasenger tri-motor Ford airplane, are other feature performers, as are Bob Moore, with his comedy “pusher” pane, “Goofus”, and many other dis- ' tinquished aviators. in from Hilton. T’wasL, my friends, a sweet piece of baseball. Something usually seen up in the big show Say, Mr. Score Keeper, where is Woodruff and Kirksey’s hit? No see in papah, Isaac? Chas. Crump held the Trotters scoreless for 4 innings. Nice going in there, Chas. So long, will be seeing you. C. A. S. League Standing W. L Pet.

Boosters 1 4 200 Holmes Give Trotters Scare In the night cap at 32nd and Dewey last Sunday, Holmes’ up and at em Tailors played the daylights out of the Globe Trotters althuogh the score was tied twice it does not necessar ily mean that the Trotters were not playing ball for they were. But there is a natural feeling toward the stron ger team that they should show strength, now when a seemingly weaker team plays against a club in the Trotters strength as did the Hol mes Sunday and taking into consid eration the gait the Tailors have been traveling, the odds would favor the Holmes hence we say the Holmes played the Trotters hard. Lawson and Lane Suspended The hammer has fallen on two boys for 3 years, Soup Lawson and Ed Lane, causes deleted. A Shame Yes, it was a shame that such poor sportsmanship should show itself as it did Sunday. Some of the players overwrought with victory and defeat, marred the splendid record that Stan ley’s league had set. We do not want that kind of foolishness. That is no representation for a league; none for the backers ‘ and very poor for the race. Keep it up. we will be out in the sticks again. THESE DATS COMMANDER HOLMAN Mr. Holman, Commander of Col. Young Post No. 269 American Legion went out to Dublon Canyon to inter view Mr. Morrison, Supt. of the Un ion Paving Co. Mr. Morrison promis ed Mr. Holman to give work to mem bers of his Post as soon as the con crete work starts. Two colored men are working at present, and were re ported by the Supt. as doing very satisfactory work. SANE ADVICE President Roosevelt in addressing the graduates of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, gave some advice that could be applied to members of our group who graduate from the acad emies of higher education, and have received their diplomas. But this badge of honor should not imbue them with a spirit of superior complex, there can be no argument with a hold er of a diploma being proud, but not i to the extent of looking down upon i his fellows. And as the President says ; “Esprit de corps, pride of profession, is as delightful and imperative an el ement in the making of a good officer as it is in the making of a good pro fessional or business man but when it is carried to the point of assuming that only the holder of an Annapolis commission or diploma, or the pos sessor of a college degree is a valid member of the aristocracy of life, it becomes a hindrance instead of a help to your service, to the Government, and to your fellow citizens.” These words spoken to graduates from a school noted for its snobs can well fit snobs of our group who form their little admiration societies with their exaggerated sense of importance. HAWAIIAN GOVERNOR Some people are wondering what was behind the scenes of Roosevelts move to change the law, which re quires a resident of Hawaii for the governorship. It will be remembered that a powerful element were for stripping the Island of all home rule and turning the government over to the military authorities. This was an aftermath of the lynching. It now looks as though the Kentucky Colon els were getting in their work.

MORGAN MAKE BIG PROFITS “What It Means” by David Laur ence: “The Crucifixion of wealth con tinues a pace, the Morgans make big profits. They let their friends in on the ground floor. They took advant age of the provisions of the law with respect to capital gains and capital losses, and hence paid $11,000,000 in the fat years, and nothing in the lean years.” If is seen that as the law ’.vas at fault and the Morgans but human, though they may be human vultures they were within their rights —whether it was morally right to take advantage of Uncle Sam for two vears their conscience must be the judge. POLITICAL HORIZON The political horizon has begun to harken up as Congress nears adjourn ment and the new deal program of President Roosevelt is near complet ion. The President has worked so fast i that Congress has been taken off its feet. It has been registering his re quests for Executive power until it was lulled to sleep by the economy song, to cut veteran’s relief to the almost vanishing point. Now these Congressmen and Senators are hear ing from home, and that voice is an organized minority that have votes which will be used in the primaries and the congressional elections next year, so many of the boys are trying to change the record and fix things with the veterans. Of course it was OK to give Mr. Roosevelt dictatorial powers as it relieved Congress of . .... i ii DRINK = | IDEAL Beverages POP GINGER ALE LIME RICKEY “Be Sure—Drink IDEAL” | IDEAL Bottling Co. 1808 N. 20th St. WE. 3043 M « ' Wm _pfCB l IMRkv Don’t be misled by old time brands "marked down to 5c."

URGE JUSTICE IN PUBLIC WORK Senator Wagner Urges Fair Play In Public Work Senator W'agner To Urge No Jim Crow In Public Works Bill New York, June 5—A provision in the new 3 billion dollar public works bill to prohibit discrimination in em ployment on account of race, creed or color, is being presented by Senator Robert F. Wlagner of New York in re. ! sponse to a request of the NAACP. it was announced. The huge new bill, carrying a total of $3,300,000,000 the 300 millions be ing for direct relief, is designed to re lieve uemployment by a program of construction on federal, state and municipal projects including public highways and parkways, public build ings, flood control, water power, riv ers and harbors, improvements, low cost housing and the removal of slum , and bridges and tunnels. The interest on the loan necessary to carry on this work is to be paid by a tax which will hit Negroes as well as whites and that for this one rea- i son, in addition to the many others, 1 Negroes should not be discriminated j against when they seek jobs on these projects. Walter White, secretary of the NACP. who wired Senator Wagner asking an amendment to prevent dis crimination and who received a reply saying “I will be glad to present the amendment you suggest,” urges all branches of the association, individ uals, churches and other organizations to telegraph or wire their senators asking them to vote to make this a mendment part of the public w'orks bill out of justice to Negro workers and other minority groups.

James Davis, and several other Ne groes, testified that their wives had left their homes to follow the Christ consciousness movement since Selk ridge began his preachings.

GOVERNOR OF N. CAROLINA FREES MAN ONCE DOOMED TO DIE Raleigh, N. C. (CNS) Jeff Morrow convicted in Granville County in Oct ober 1930 of raping a white woman and sentenced to die in the electric chair but saved from death by former Governor Gardner, who commuted the sentence to life imprisonment, ha# been paroled by Governor Ehring haus. The parole was granted and Morrowr walked out of prison last week a free man on recommendation of Judge Henry A. Grady. Judge Grady who tried the case and William B. Umstead the solicitor, joined in the recommendation. The former stated that he did all he could in his charge to cause the jury to ac quit the man. Evidence developed that the white woman consented to the intercourse, and Judge Grady said the prisoner was not guilty of rape, and that the time he had served was entirely adequate for the crime he did commit. “The trial resulted in a verdict which shocked both me and the solic itor,” stated Judge Grady. -CUSSTOAOS~ Front Kitchenette for rent, WE. 3707 Wig Making, Curls, and etc. AT.7358 We Specialize in Kitchenette Apart ments.
