Maxie Miller: I’m a hard-working
husband and I think a roomer has
made it with my wife. She is cold
to me and jolly -with him. I’m too
tired to make love and she says I’m
cold. Do you think it will be so aw
ful bad if I kill this man? I ex
pect I’ll do it some day! What do
you think. Will you take the wife’s
side. Samuel Brown.
Samuel Brown: If what you sus
pect is true blame yourself- Why
did you take a roomer when you
know there is danger. You seem to
have no evidence and you’d be a fool
to harm a man. The thing to do is to
tell this roomer you need his room
and have him move. The next thing
would be for you to thaw out and
make love to your wife as every
woman has a right to expect from
her husband. A woman wants more
than daily rations. Take yourself
in hand and play the man. DO IT
NOW! Maxie Miller.

Redress Committee

ABOVE COMMITTEE BEGS TO
SUBMIT THAT
IN THE MATTER OF GEORGE
CRUMBLEY:
Matter was investigated by the
N- A. A. C. P. on February 27,
1935. Mr. George Crumbley came
to I)r. Wesley Jones, the presi
dent of the National Association,
complaining of an attack made
upon him by one officer Bud Lev
in of the Police Department. He ;
requested that Dr. Jones, as j
president should take such steps
as were necessary to bring this;
case to the attention of the proper i
authorities. In view of the fact |
that various committees of the
Association ha dnot been set up,
Dr. Jones in capacity of presi
dent, handled the details of this
case, and the Legal Redress com
mittee in itself played a very
small part.
Dir. Jones, after making a
thorough investigation of the
case, took the matter up with
Robert Samardick, Chief of Po
lice, and as a result of the inter
view with Mr. Samardick, rela*
tive to the matter, Mr. Levin was
suspended indefinitely from the
police department. A few days
later, however, the suspension of
Mr. Levin was reduced to 10 days,
after which time he was returned
to the force
Reviewing the facts in this ease,
Mr. Crumbley ,together with his
wife, was arrested on or about the
26th day of February and taken
to the police station. After be
ing booked, they were conducted
to the elevator and on the way up
Mr. Crumbley and his wife were
engaged in an argument. Officer
Levin semed to resent some re
mark that was passed and struck
Mr. Crumbley, causing a very
severe injury. The Association
took the stand that a man under
arrest should not he beaten or
mistreated by members of the po
lice department; that the attack
in this-case was perpetrated up-!
o na man whom the poice officer
thought defenseless because of his
color. < >n that assumption, the
Association caused the suspension 1
of Mr. LeA-in. °

IX THE MATTER OF DAISY i
ANDERSON:
On May 15th. 1935, Mrs. Daisy
Anderson, a resident of Box Butte
' ounty. Nebraska 0 appeared be
fore a portion of the Executive
Board, desiring to be heard rela
tive to a suit which she had pend
ing in the county pf her residence.
After outlining briefly the facts
in her ease, it was the opinion of
the members present that the
matter should be further investi*
gated by the Legal Redress com
mit ee before any affirmative ac
tion was taken in her case. The
committee was given power, after
bearing the facts, to take such
action as it deemed advisable. Mr
Davis, as a representative of the
committee, called on Airs. Ander
son at her place of residence in
Omaha .and talked the matter
over with her at length. After
hearing the facts in her case, it
was the opinion of the committee
that the matter was one not with
in the scope of the activities of
the Branch and for that reason no
action was taken in said matter.
IN THE MATTER OF DANIEL
YOUNG, alias Gabe McElroy: •
Complaint was made to the
i chairman of the Legal Redress
committee by one Mr. Mitchell
and by Mr. R. C. Price, that one
Daniel Young was being held in
the city jail without a charge
against him, against his will and
in violation of his constitutional
rights. This is the case in which
Daniel Young was supposed ta be
heir to oil land in Teas amounting
to somewhat of a fortune. The
chairman of the Lega Redress
committee, John Adams, in coro
nany with Mr. R. C- Price and Mr.
Bernard Squires, executive secre
tary of the Urban League, made
investigation of the complaint.
The investigation consisted of go
ing to see Mr. Young, the attor*
nev who was representing Daniel
Young, offices in the Omaha Na
tional Bank building. Mr. Young
the attorney, was informed of the
nature of the complaint made to
the Legal Redress committee. He
stated that there was nothing to
such a complaint, and that it was
untrue that Daniel Young was not
in jail against his will, that he
was in jail at his own request be
cause he felt that he was in dang
er of his life, and feared great
bodily harm and injury. In the
company o fattorney' Young, th#
chairman of the Legav Redress
committee, Mr. Price and Mr.
Squires went to the city' jail and
talked with Daniel Young. From
the conversation with Daniel
Young and questions submitted to
him by the committee, it was de
termined that Mr. Young was in
jail voluntarily and at his own re
quest and could leave as he de
sired. The chairman of the Legal
Redress committee decided that
nothing further could be done in
this case
IN THE MATTER OF THE FAN
TASTIC BEER GARDEN.
In one of the recent board
meetings it was suggested that
the Legal Redress committee
draft resolutions to be sent to the
municipal judges, which resolu
tions would in effect state to the
municipal judges that they were
to lenient in their decisions of
cases involving arguments, dis
putes. fights and conduct by and
; between colored 'people in the
neighborhod in and around the
Fantactie Beer Garden. The com*
. mittee, after discussing this mat
j ter, decided that it was not for
the best interests of the organiza
t’on to carry out the instructions
which have been given, without
further discussion on the same;
and the concensus of the commit
tee’s opinion was that the matter
again be referred to the executive
board for discussion.

OF RUTH GLOER, Colored,
aged 12. by Horace W. Jones,

W. Adams, secretary of the Com
mittee, Mrs. Glover and Ruth
Glover. From the investigation
and testimony of the wifneses in
this matter, the committee came
to the conclusion that rape or an
attempt to rape had been com
mitted o nthe said Ruth Glover,
and advised Mrs- Mary Glover
that a complaint should be filed
with the County Attorney, charg
ing statutory rape against Har
ace W. Jones. The Legal Redress !
I committee,-consisting of its Chair-1
I man John Adams, Charles F.

Jury Rights Won
For Negroes
—
Knoxville, Tenn, (CNA)—As a re
sult of the recent U. S. Supreme
Court decision on Scottsboro, three
Negro citizens were chosen for jury
duty here.
They are ^James Brice, David E.
Kemp and Samuel H. Toole. The first
two named will serve on the July
term Grand Jury, the last one on the
petit jury.
A week previous, in the na bo ring
state of North Carolina, the names
of Negroes were placed on the jury
box of the Martin County Superior
Court for the first tame in more than
a generation.
The Scottsbore ruling which pro
hibits the systematic and arbitrary
exclusion of Negroes from jury duty
was sanded down by the Supreme
Court on April 1 after the Interna
tional Labor Defense had aroused
world-wide opinion for a favorable i
court action.
Paul Robeson Enthusi
astic About
Soviet Union
New York, (CNA) — “I met Paul
Robeson, the famous Negro actor and
singer”, says Edward Cheyfitz, white
chemist who recently returned from
the Soviet Union.
“He is so enthusiastic about the
Soviet Union that he wants to come
back to live there permanently. He
has learned Russian and told me how
he intends to play Othello in Russian”

Protest Conditions of
Negroes in Cuba
—
New York— (CNA) —Angry pro
tests against the treatment received
by Negro members of a delegation
of fifteen representatives, all of whom
were deported from Cuba on July 4,
were left with Pablo Suarez, Cuban
• consul.
Manning Johnson, representative
of the Food Workers Industrial Un
ion and elected secretary of the dele
gation, described the vicious threat
ening manner in which he and Frank
Griffin were received by Cuban au
thorities.
Large Negro Population
“Mr. Suarez”, said Johnson, “I
want to speak of the treatment the
colored members of the delegation re
ceived. Our purpose was to investi
gate conditions of the colored people
in Cuba. They consist of 27 per cent
of the population.
“We heard about countless hun
dreds languishing in dungeons. To
our sad disappointment we were not
permitted to land, nor to even begin
the impartial investigations of these
conditions.
Called—Well You Know What.
It is something we won’t Print in
our Paper.
“We have seen the official attitude
of the Cuban government towards the
colored people of Cuba. They not on
ly insulted us by using vile language,
but members of the secret police han
dled us roughly, threatening to shoot,
to kill us. They told us they didn’t
want any more - in Cuba.
“They asked members of the com
mission why they associated with
“-This attitude on the
part of the secret police can only lead
us to conclude that this is the official
attitude af the Cuban government.
We will not be stopped by these ex
pulsions, but will continue to give our
support to the liberation struggle of
the Cuban people—both Negro and
white.”

tice agents’ part in the hunt that
resulted in the arrest.of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann for the kid
naping and murder of the Lind
bergh baby, said:
“I worked on the case and I
am convinced Hauptmann was
guilty. But I think a man who
I is on trial for his life is entitled
to a little consideration.
