The November elections will pro bably be the determing factor If his party sweeps the county once more, his influence on Senators and Repre sentatives will be as potent as ever— no Congtiesaman likes to throw away votes- If the Republicans make sub stantial gains, such as taking 70 or 80 House seats now held by Demo crats. the picture will under go de cisive change- Most political comm entators. writing for papers repre senting both major parties, ari of the opinion that the Republicans are likey to regain much of the ground they lost in 1932- It is usual for the party in power to experience more difficulty in the off year elections than in the years in which a presid ent is running. Most important factor in the gen eral business situation at present is the drought. Thouands of farmers who would normally offer a sizable market far clothes, farm implements, automobiles and similar manufact ured products, are wondering how they are going to live through a bar ren year—and they are naturally keeping a tight hold on what money they have- The automobile industry is being hit unusually hard—in re cent months the agricultural states have provided the largest market for new cans. Aside from that, recent figures show small, but encouraging, upturns in business activity. Commodity prices recently touched a new h:gh It is an interesting fact that a number of business writers, includ ing the editor of the Annalist, are afraid that the prospect of increased expenditures for relief by- the Fed eral government is a threat to con tinued business improvement. They are of the opinion that governmental retrenchment, so far as spending is concerned, would tend to encourage capital, lead to industrial expansion WAYLAND RUDD RETURNS TO STATES AFTER TWO YEARS ABROAD WASHINGTON, June 27— (CNS) —Wayland Rudd, formerly of this city and now well known as an actor or merit, has just returned to Amer ica, after two years in Moscow.

Immediately after the verdict was pronounced a small riot ensued when fifty of his followers, mosty women, jumped from their seats in the courtroom and started for the bench where Jus tices Fred Slick L- Hackenburg. A- V B- Voorhees and Hyman Rayfield were sitting. An emergency call brought six patrolmen, who restored order with the aid of the more subdued disciples of Gill- The “master’ as he is known to his followers was held under $500 bail and will be sentenced June 29 Gill, thirty two years old, a goatee wearer, had sandals on his feet when convicted. He used to be a porter at the Brooklyn Central Young Men’s Christian Association. Gill’s followers are highly incensed at his conviction. ELECTRIC HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES IN EVERY HOME (S e Page Seven) c! ulers and trades to join togthtr in this the greatest selling opportunity i t the history of our industry, and which, in my opinion, could be deve rped intn the greatest coordinated s'lling and advertising promotion activity in the history of American business-” Itoy Page, vice president and gen eral manager of the Nebraska Power Company, the chief speaker, describ ed the important part low electric rates will play in the selling cam paign “For many years,” Mr. Page said, “it has been the policy of our com panies to sell electricity at rates which are attractive to customers in order that they may enjoy the luxur ies of electric appliances- We have always had the lowest possible r ates consistent with good service.” In pointing out that electric rates in Omaha and Council Bluffs have been reduced sixty-two per cent in the last 20 years he said that the two cities, now enjoy among the low est rates in the United States. The same type of rate structure, Page said, also applies to the smaller com munities sei-ved by th: two eom ! panies While electric rates for the last I score of years have steadily decreas j ed. according to Page, the cost of liv | ing has as steadily increased.

W. G- Sneed made the welcome ad dress for the Oklahoma City branch of the Association- W- E- McMurray, nresident of the Oklahoma City branch, presided Delegates from twenty states and the district of Columbia were in at tendance, with a heavy registration from southwestern states Interest in the economic situation of the Negro workers and farmers overshadows all other topics in the preliminary talks of the delegates. The various New Deal policies and their effects upon Negroes will be analyzed from ftest-hand testimony of speakers and delegates who have seen them in operation in the South. It seems certain that the conference will condemn in no uncertain trims the administiation of the recovery policies which has left Negroes “out in the cold-” N. A. A. C. P. Elects Dele grate to National Convention The NAACP-, branch of Omaha, called a special meeting June 6, 1934, for the purpose of electing a delegate to the National Convention of the N. A- A.

This convention is stated to be the best yet. At this meeting plans were drawn up where by money for Omaha s as sessment to the convention, and for the delegate, could be raised Plans have been made hv the Nat ional office for special transportation to and from the Convention URGES NEGROES TO SECURE MORE N. A. A. C. P. MEMBERS Mary White Ovington Tells 25th An nual Gathering Colored People Must Drop Prejudice. Educate Whites on Problem, and Re cruit the Thousands Who Would Gladly Join the N. A. A. C- P. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., June 27 —Thousands of white people all over America gladly would join the Na j tional Association for the Advance ' ment of Colored People and support its program if they were properly educated and recruited by colored people This was the assertion of Miss Mary White Ovington, treasurer of the as sociation. and one of its founders in 1909, in her address to the opening mass meeting of the 25th annual con. fa 'ence tc night at Calvary Baptist church Miss 0\ington declared most white j pie vtr ■ “abysmally ignorant” of die pioolems of Negroes and urged colored people to drop their own race prejudice and approach whites “man to man” and ask them to join in the work of the association After tell ing something of the beginning of the association andits achievements in the past twenty-five years, Miss Ovington appealed for a larger white membership, saying: “There is one very noticeable change between the Association of twnty-five years ago and the Associa tion of today, the pli'oportion of Ne groes to whites. At our first con ference, held in 1909 in New York City, the number of white and colored was about even. Today the whites are not one in a hundred. Only at the meeting of the board, do we have decisions that represent interracial discussions “I shall not attempt to analyze wThy this is, but I believe it to have been a policy, unconscious perhaps, but nevertheless a policy, of the Negro members. It is they who have form branches thraoughout the country, they who have sent in their fifty names necessary to secure a charter Rarely is a white man’s name among the number- And this not only in sections where the whites might not be in sympathy with so radical a Ne gro program as oU^s but also in cities where there would be no difficulty in securing white membership- Branch organizations are colored and the j white man wrho might be interested j knows nothing about them. t j “This is not true of a few of our ! large cities. Judge Jayne of Detroit, j David Pierce of Cleveland, Miss Me Dowell of Chicago, the late Moorfield j Storey of Boston; these have been and sonae still are loyal and impart ant supporters to the cause- At one time Harold L- Ickes, secretary of the ! interior, was president of our Chieag d j branch. Senator Capper was long ! active in the Topeka. Kans- branch In New York Governor Lehman is one of our most loyal supporters. I could name others, important people who have been interested in our move ment- But they are exceptions. The fact remains that the Negro has segregated himself in the N- A- A C- P Must Educate Whites “Segregation- That is a word that brings instant attention in a colored audience today- Dr. Du Boic’ editori al, that pointed out a value in segre gation, was repudiated by the bulk of ! his readers. But what I want to ppoint out is that it is not the white man that does all of the segregating For twenty-five yeans I have watched the N- A- A. C. P- beeome more and more an organization manned by one race only. . “For myself I can see no advantage in these tactics. This is a movement for larger opportunity for on oppress ed minority. But ultimately this opportpunity will be given by the majority- Why then, make no effort to enlist such whites as are in sym ' Ideal BottMng Co.. “IF IT’S IDEAL IT’S GOOD” 1806 North 20th Street WEbster 3043 ^■■MBESBHV/i The Omaha Guide Recommends The State Furniture Do.

Prices the Lowest and Terms the Easiest pathy with the minority’s aspirations ? the Negro wants to lead his organi finds that he needs white friends—on the bench, in the jury box- Why not educate people in his ideas? I have often wondered if Negroes have any realization of the abysmal ignornce of white Americans regarding their con ditions. Many splendid white people in the United States are battling for the Jews in Germany but are quite indifferent, because they know no thing about it to Negro-baiting in their home state. “Perhaps you think the white people are not interested. I wish you could have seen the way in which the authors of America, at Mr- White’s I call, poured in their acceptances to the Writers’ League Against Lynch ' ing- It seemed as though evei'y writer of account in the country, northerner and southerner, easterner and westerner, wanted to be enrolled in it- But the authors would never have thought to come together. It took the secretary of the N- A. A- C P. to get this- And there are other issues almost as dramatic as lynching Get them then before white people Get the col<r/ed newspapers into their homes. I wish that evei’y colored paper would have one issue of the year especially for whites and that evjry colored subscriber would circu late it- Don’t blame people too much for being indifferent to your.’ ills, when you don’t ask them to drop their indifference and join with you Whites Must Be won “Segregation- You don’t want to be segregated- You want to be Am ericans- You are Americans- You have worked for Ame&dca and fought for America, and died for America But you want to live in this country with dignity, as George Arliss says in that marvelous film, The House of Rothschild. How is it possible to get this except you win the whites to your cause? And there are white people ready to join your cause if you only invite them, man to man, to join it I know there are, and they would come at your invitation twice as quickly as they would at mine- Ours is a battle for justice- It is the de mand that color shall not bar men from the oportunity offered by this Republic. And there are courageous white people all owr this land who would like to help if you would drop your color prejudice and go out and b.dng them in-” President Roosevelt Sends Greetings to N. A. A. A.

Levin, president of the Young Voters League for Metcalfe for Governor, said at a meeting of the league at the Rome hotel Tuesday night The tax bill, known as House Roll No- 9, which provides for a tax bill on credit accounts of business and professional men and women, drew the particular fire of Levin- He char acterized this law as impossible of enforcement “There is real work to be n Neb raska on taxation,” hs said- “The most practical form of relief is to be found in a reduction of the cost of government through the elimination of jobs which have been created for purely political purposes.” He declared that Metcalfe could be depended upon to follow such a pro gram of strict economy.
