As if that lesson weren’t severe enough, Nature is again menacing crops—dust clouds recently swept day after day across the vast mid-west wheat country. The area affected includes over fifty million acres of wheat land. The result, unless late rains do the unexpected and remedy the situa tion, will be an inconsequential crop. The See re ary of Agriculture has removed certain restrictions on the planting of spring wheat. This is expected to cause a rise from 1 to 30 million bushels in the normal spring crop. POLICE MAIM DEFENSELESS WORKER IN BREADLINE New York, N. Y.—CNA—As he attempted to get a meal at a relief kitchen located at 142nd Street and Fifth Avenue, Tommy Aiken, unemployed worker, was savagely assaulted by a relief official and policemen last week. Aikens right eye was knocked out and he was o.herwise permanent ly maimed. The worker was standing in the bread line when the police men ordered him to “get out of line” and “get inside the kitch en.” Aiken who had been waiting for his turn for several hours, protested that he would lose his | place in line and refused to move. The policeman, knocked him out of the line into the kitchen. Beaten To Floor. Aiken then threw* his hands above his face for protection, whereupon the policeman hit him on the head with a night stick and knocked out his eye. The relief station head, Capt. Radclif fe, whi.e, held Aiken while the policeman kicked him in the stomach and beat him to the floor. Even after he was on the floor face down he was beaten on ihe head by a policeman. The policeman dragged him in I iO the lobby where he lay un conscious a half hour before an ambulance picked him up. T,l»e policemen were numbers j 6671 and 4406. The former is; known for his brutality against Negroes. Capt. Radeliff who comes from Kentucky has a repu tation for beating up the Negroes in the breadline. Framed on Assault Charge In addition to the beating giv en Aiken, the policemen have framed him on a charge of crimin al assault. The worker is now in the Harlem Hospi: al. Aiken lives at 411 Convent Ave. in Harlem. His sister Miss Hor tence Aiken, has turned his de fense over to the In.ernational Labor Defense, which will be supported by the Unemployment Councils and the League of Strug gle for Negro Rights. The relief knhen at 142nd St. and Fifth Avenue formerly gave 3 meals a day but since the City Administration cut relief only one meal is served. Workers claim that the food is unfit for human consumption. MERIDIAN, MISS., FORMS BRANCH OF N. A. A. C. P.

The proposed Public Utility Act of 1935, on which Senate committee hearings are now bein" held, is supposedly designed to eliminate hold com panies. The public has heard much from the politicians of real or fancied abuses of various holding com panies. What has not been emphasized is the potential effect of the bill on operating companies—on any utility company, large or small, which is in any way connected with a holding company, or one v hich engages in interstate commerce, or one hav ing any physical connection whatsoever with ano.h er company engaging in interstate commerce. Ever since the utility industry began, it has been regarded as a local business. For that reason, regulation was left to the jurisdictions of each tate, and was never vesed in a commission which could act for the country as a whole. The public’s needs are obviously very different in South Caro lina, for example, than in New York. The cost of producing and distributing power varies widely from s.ate to state. A utility program which is necessary and adequae for one state, might not fit the needs of a neighboring commonwealth. Under stale commission regulation, utility serv ice has been made extremely responsive to the needs of each individual state. There has never been a derth of power—always a surplus. Service has con stantly improved, and rates have steadily declined. It can be statistically proven that the American people, operaing costs and taxes considered, receive the best and cheapest utility service in the world. If the proposed Act is passed, operating utility companies generating 99 per cent of the nation’s power will come under the jurisdiction of a federal commission. Management will be a figurehead— and the state commission will have little cause for continued existence. If they make a decision that might conflict with the blanket policy laid down at Washington, that decision will be automatically negated. So strict and sweeping are the provisions of the bill that a utility could not engage legal or engineering counsel, expand facilities or buy sup plies, without permission of the Washington com mission. In brief then, the bill proposes to nationalize management of operating companies—under a po litical bureau. It would do that at the expense of the present owners of the properies, who would no longer have a voice in ministering their own affairs —and at the expense of each state, which would no longer be able to regulate utilities in the best inter est of its own citizens and consumers. The bill seeks public support under the guise of correcting abuses. Those abuses, if they exit, should be corrected—but should that end be achieved by giving a politically apponited commission absolute dictatorship over one of our most essential and progressive industries; an industry in which mil lions of citizens have invested billions of dollars, and which is already subject to stringent regula tion by each state? V.W.WAVW.V.W.V.V.V.V.V.V.VAW.WiW.ViWiV STUDENTS CONSTRUCT APPARATUS TO SAVE UNIVERSITY EXPENSE Students at the Municipal Univer sity of Omaha, working under the direction of Dr. W. D. Maclay, assist ant professor of physics and chemis try at the school, have constructed laboratory apparatus for use in their classes at an estimated saving of more than a thousand dollars to the university and Omaha taxpayers. According to Dr. Maclay “for all practical purposes the equipment is a3 serviceable and efficient as the most costly on the market.” “There’s absolutely nothing crude or amateurish about the apparatus” Dr. Maclay said. “It is of an excel lent calibre. In addition to the sav ing effected the university by the undertaking, the students also re ceived valuable training in practical construction of apparatus” he said. As an illustration of the saving ef fected, one piece of apparatus, an ampere frame, costs something over $35, according to Dr. Maclay. The one built by the students cost exact ly 35 cents. Included in the collection of new apparatus are a device for testing the efficiency of a motor, for study ing the function of a vacuum tube, a coulometer, apparatus for verifica tion of Kirchosff’s laws and the am pere frame. School authorities say the work of the students will save taxpayers “more than a thousand dollars.” POEM Those wHo are quick to criticise, Condemning what you try to do, 4nd never giving aid to you Are the ones you can surmise, Have made a failure of their lives, While those who share complete suc cess, Will give a hand of helpfulness, To worthy efforts that are made To help another make the Grade.
