The S.resa three power confer

leached full agreement on ways
and means to save Europe from
war.
Highlights of the parley were:
Decision to support France’s ap

against Germany's treaty viola

principle of an air pact for com

If the conference really does as

THE TRUTH WHAT HAPPENED
IN HARLEM

‘ ‘ Let the Bastard Die. ’ ’ Cop Says
Murray Samuels and Harry
Gordon, two white youths, tell of
how they were carried to the po
lice s ation, beaten on the way,
and beaten again as soon as they
arrived. Every protest they made
made met with one response1
“Get mixed up with a bunch of
Goddam niggers, will you stick?
S ick up for these damn black
bastards, will you?” They were
cuffed about the head, hit with
billies across the shoulders, jab
bed in the stomach with clubs.
The cells filled rapidly, police
dragging in fresh prisoners every
few minutes. The jail looked
like the scene of a bloody baitle.
Workers—‘particularly Negroes;
were thrown into the cells and
left to lie, many of them helpless
and bleeding.
Gordon called for help for a Ne
gro cell mate who was suffering
torture, but all medical aid was
denied. Another white man who
begged for attention for a bleed
ing Negro friend was told by the
janer: “Let ;he bastard die.” Po
lice dashed in and out, bringing
new victims, calling the Negroes
“black dastards” and dozens of
unprintable names, and leaving
the cells aLer each trip with the
announcement that they would go
out again and “kill us some nig
gers.”
Court Room Scenes Liketfwyap
Like Scottsboro Court' Scene
On Wednesday morning, the
scenes at 121st Street and at
Washington Heights rivalled ihe
Scottsboro trial. A police cordon
was flung about the courts. Any
Negroes who managed to run the
gauntlet were searched before
they could enter. The prisoners
were marched in, staggering and
weak from the beatings they had
received. Nearly all of them were
bandaged, many wore shirts and
collars dyed crimson with their
own blood. Hardly any of these
prisoners had counsel; but no at
torney except those previously
employed was permitted inside
he rail with the arrested men
and women. Not once during the
day was anyone dismissed. Every
three or four minutes another
case was disposed of; no Misssis
ippi court could have made a
more cynical diplay. Thirty days:
sixty days; six months; mechani
cally the courts ground out sent
ences, all thought of constitution
al rights, all pretences of imparti
ality, thrown to the four winds.
A Negro boy of 17 was brought
up on a charge of looting. The
‘evidence”—and apple and an
arange found in his coat. The
‘proof”—the “identification” by
a grocer of that particular apple
and that particular orange. The
court accepted the “evidence”
and held the boy in $1000 bail for
special sessions.

Outside the sourtroom, fright
ened city officials were laying
plans for a monstrous whitewash
uid a monstrous frame up. The
Hearst press ,as usual, prepared
the ground. In open and shame
less lynch excitement, the Hearst
newspapers during the week rival
led the official organs of the Ku
Klux Klan. These papers report
ed . he brazen lie that the Negroes
had called on each other to kill
ihe whites, that they had at
tempted .o do bodily harm to a
white woman in a parked car.
Typical of the headlines and sen
tences of the stories carried in
these papers were the following
phrases: “Negroes roar for
blood.” “The Negroes showed
their yellow fangs.” “The blood
lus.y cries of the frenzied black
hordes.”
The Courts and Rights
of Negroes to Vote
(NOTE: The following article
on the Supreme Court Decision on
the Texas Primaries was contribut
ed by a young white Southern writ
er, a native of Texas.)
Austin, Tex.—(CNA)—If you are
black, you cannot vote in a Demo
cratic primary! This is what the
Southern planters and politicians have
'always said. This is what the United
! States Supreme Court has just said
in its decision upholding the Jim Crow
^procedure of the Texas Democratic
Party. Surely in one corner of the
bed we have the white-robed knights
of the ku klux klan; and in the other,
the black-gowned justices of the Su
preme Court
j The exclusion of Negroes from the
primaries has meant the virtual dis
franchisement of the entire race. The
Dcmocatic party exercises a political
monopoly in the South, and its nomi
nees are almost invariably elected.
These nominees are selected by white
voters only, with the result that a
Ngro citizen has no right to say who
shall make his laws, assess his taxes,
or govern his schools.
The Negroe of Texas have become
increasingly resentful toward this
high-handed discrimination against
them. A few counties have allowed
Negroes the right to participate in
the primaries, but only when their
votes were needed td keep some polit
ical machine running.
In certain counties where the Ne
gro voters have demanded the right
of participation the ku klux klan has
been called out to enforce the wishes
of the local election officials.
Court Leaves Loophole
Tho state legislature attempted in
1925 to bulldoze the Negroes by pass
ing a law forbidding them the right
of participation in Democratic primary
elections. The Supreme Court de
clared this law unconstitutional, but
left a loophole for the politicians by
declaring that the Legislature could
not bar Negroes through statuatory
enactment.
How quickly these politicians in
cluding James V. Allred, the present
Governor, jumped through this loop
hole! The state party convention of
1930 adopted a resolution opening the
primaries only to persons of white
descent.
Two years later, another state con
vention proceeded to restrict party
membership to whites only. The hy
pocrisy of these resolutions is shown
by the fact that there is no set form
for becoming a member of the Demo
cratic party. Any white person may
vote in the Democratic primaries of
the South, even though he may be a
convinced Republican or Socialist at
heart. But a Negro who may be a
convinced Democrat is automatically
barred from participating in the af
fairs of that political group.
Fosters Prejudice
Last year, the Negro issue again
came up to embarrass the aspiring
politicians who were stumping the
state. Allred, then attorney-general
and a candidate for' governor, saw a
golden opportunity to get the votes
of prejudiced white people. In his
capacity as attorney general, he ruled
that the resolutions of the two con
ventions did not conflict with any pre
vious ruling of the Supreme Court.
During the campaign, he proceeded to
play the race issue for all that it was
worth.
“Stand back, you niggers,” he yelled
at one political rally, “and let white
Democrats hear what their next Gov
ernor has to say.”
R. L. Grovey, 44-year old Negro
voter of Harris county, decided last
year to bring Jim-Crow into court.
When he was refused a ballot by Al

bert Townsend, county clerk, Grovey
sued for $10 damages, asserting that
he was qualified by law to become a
member of the Democratic party and
vote in its primaries.
The lower court decided the case
against Grovey, but the United States
Supreme Court agreed to review it.
And this is the gist of the Supreme
Court decision, written by Justice
Roberts:
“We hold the party was a voluntary
association and was competent to de
cide its own membership.”
Fourteenth Amendment Buried
Thus the Fourteenth amendment is
finally buried under a mass of legal
rubbish. The lesson for the Negro
masses shoul dbe plain. There is no
hope for them either in the capitalist
courts or in the capitalist political par
ties . The Republican party did noth
ing for the Negro except to transfer
him from a chattel slavery to wage
slavery. The Democratic party has
been the conscious instrument of the
lynching planters. Now the sup
posedly non-partisan Supreme Court
gives the Negro a kick and tells him
to “stay in his place”!
This is our answer to the nine old
judges and the vicious exploiters for
whom they speak: That the Negro
people of America will make their own
place, through the unceasing struggle
against oppression. That struggle
will be remembered when the decisions
of the Supreme Court are but dusty
rlics for curious students.
Young Liberators Are
Slugged; Revenge
Charged
New York, N. Y—(CNA)—Follow
ing a mass meeting at Rockland Pal
ace, a group of Young Liberator club
members were set upon by policemen
and plainclothesmen.
James Warfield, severely^wounded in
the encounter, was arrested.
iJames Ashford, Harlem youth lead
er, stated in an interview that “the
real motive for attack was the work
of the Young Liberators in exposing
the actions of the police in the re
cent Harlem outbreak”.
Laundry Workers Vote
to Strike
Birmingham, Ala.—(CNA)—Strike
action was voted here by the members
of the Laundry and Dry Cleaning
Workers Local 109, composed of Ne
gro workers. Similar moves were
made by Local 112 and Laundry and
Dry Cleaning Drivers Local 339.
The workers are demanding an in
crease of three percent in wages, and
check-off for the collection of union
lues. The latter is tantamount to un
ion recognition.

Home Work
Once upon a time I was unal
terably opposed to home work for;
elementary school children. Even,
the slightest amount of it aroused!
my indignation, i j
spoke against it at!
every opportnnity.
Indeed, I wrote an!
article unfavorable!
to home work for:
this series.
gjmgfgBa This isnT: a con
fession of a change!
of heart, bnt rather an admission
that I hadn’t analyzed the situation ■
quite far enough. It was a school,
principal, a good friend of mine,
who pointed out the weak spot. As i
a matter of fact this principal
would oppose the old idea of home
work as readily as I do. I know
that is true because she is opposed
to home work as a substitute for
school work. We both agree that
evening work at home shouldn’t be
so many hours tacked onto the
school day.
But she pointed out to me this
philosophy: Children like to be ac
tive. But if the home isn’t inter-.
esting, if there isn’t family unity j
for an evening of games and music,'
if parents turn to their own desires, J
what becomes of the children and J
this irresistible urge to do some- *
thing? Many, of course, beg to go)
out after supper. Older children)
easily acquire the “corner” habit, j
They seek excitement and adven- J
ture. Or they must have the ;
movies. That is enough to call to j
mind the well known problem.
If the home isn’t interesting,
more so than the movie or the gang,
can’t the school provide something? ;
And there’s the answer. Interest- ■
ing books to be read; art posters to !
be sketched; collections to put in
order; science questions to answer;}
and things to make. The list can J
be long. It gives the child some- !
thing worth while to do. It uses j
energy; it takes those troublesome .
hours. And there is educational ■
value. It’s a new type of home
work and in many instances de- ■
cidedly worth while.
What may we substitute today .
for the rugged life of our ances
tors? Dr. Ireland will answer *
next week. r
