Tenth Lynching of Year Revives Demand For Passage of Costigan Wagner Bill Roosevelt Asked by N. A. A C. P. To Urge Congress to Pass An ti-Lynching Bill Before Ad journment ; Senator Bailey of North Carolina Challenged to Prove that State can Prevent Lynchings without Federal Aid New York, July 31—The lynch ing of Govan Ward at Louisburg, North Carolina, yesterday caused the sending of the following tele- j gram to President Roosevelt and Senator Joshiah W. Bailey, of North Carolina, today bv the Na tional Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People. The J telegram to l*resident Roosevelt read: * “The tenth lynching of 1935 oc curred at Louisburg, oNrth Caro lina. yesterday when a man. al leged to be insane, was put to death in the State of Senator Jo siah W. Bailey, one of the most vociferous leadtrs of the filibust er against the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill. This is the fifth lynching since the filibusters suc ceeded in sidetracking the anti lynehing bill. Should Congress ad journ without acting against lynching it is probable and al most certain that human beings now alive will fall victims to mobs. Situation necessitates vour urging upon Congress that it act without -delay to pass the Costi gan-Wagner bill. Our country cannot with good grace denounce barbarism in Nazi Germany as long as these mob outrages dis grace America.’’ The telegram to Senator Bail ey. one of the leaders in the fili buster which sidetracked the Costigan-Wagner bill in April, though 59 Senators were pledged to vote for the bill, read: “On April 26 you vigorously at taeked the Costigan-Wagner an ti-lynching bill and asserted that ‘we need no incentive to do our duty in preventing lynching or punishing lynchers. Yesterday a mob in your own State, at Louis burg. presented you and the State of North Carolina with a chal lenge to prove the truth of your statement of April 26. Thought ful Americans, including many white citizens of North Carolina, do not believe that lynching can i be stopped except by Federal ac tion. The eyes of the world will !»*• upon you and your State to see if you spoke truthfully when you filibustered against the Costigan Wagner bill/’ MAYOR SHAW TO WELCOME DELTA SIGMA THETAS AT CONVENTION MEET Los Angeles.

Negro Preacher Pleas es White Hearer Columbia, S. C„ Aug. 7, (ANP)— W. P. Hourneal. white, konwn in this section as the “Dutch Weather Prophet” was profuse in his praise of a sermon preached here Sunday night by Rev. J. C. White, guest pas tor at the Zion Baptist church. Wrifc.ng in the SOUTH CARO LINA STATE. Mr. Housneal. who according to his own declaration, had ben drawn to the service at the Negro church by his anxiety to hear the man whose writings he had read when he was editor of a white Bap tist publication, declared: “Dr. White presented three prop ositions for the guidance, especially of his own race, to whom his sermon was addressed. He told them to adopt the program which Moses had given the children of Israel:!., So cial security, 3, adherence te su preme fath in the Christian religion. It was this faith and the adherence tc surreme faith n the Christian religion. It was this faith and the adherence to the religion, that God gave abundant success and prosper ity to people of Israel that distin guished the regn of David as com pared to the reign of Saul in his lat- j ter years. “The sermon was replete in class ical quotations to illustrate the theme of the speaker in referimg to state national and international or isis of ancient and modern times. Selections from poems of Longfel low and James Russell Lowell were used with accurate precision as illus strations. Especially dramatic was the preacher's reference to the crisis the Allies in Europe when they arrayed against Napoleon Bona parte as he returned from Elba and precipitated the Battle of Waterloo One seldom hears a more accurate or more thrilling description of that decisive battle of modem times.” Dr. White was for a number of years pastor of the Zion Baptist church ahd is now pastor of First Baptist church of Winston Salem, N. C., which claims to be the largest church of the denomination in the state of North Carolina.

Asiatics Aroused By Mussolini’s Color Issue Seek Ways to Aid Ethiopia. — London, England, Aug, 7, (By Rudolph Dunbar for ANP)—Per haps the worst error yet in Premier Mussolini’s egregious policy of ag gression toward Ethiopia occurred last week when he blatantly raised the color issue and issued a rallying cry for Italy to defend the white races of the world against the yel low, bdack and brown. This was not wily bad diplomacy but rotten from a historical paint of view as well. Here in Europe, the Italians are regarded as having more African blood than any other European nation, not excluding Spain. A black man was at one time mayor of the city of Florence during the reign of the Metdicis. The immediate reaction to Mus solini’s call to the colors on the bas is of racial color, was a ringing challenge from Mahatma Gandhi to his millions of followers for'-siipport of the Ethiopian cause. Of equal importance ts the re ported attitude of the ruler of Yemen (Arabia) across the Rec: sea from Ethiopia. Italy had sought to import laborers from Yemen into Ethiopia to aid its preparations for war. Zaidi Inam Yahya refused to give Italy permission to reed nit these la borers and also,announced his sym pathy for Ethiopia. Although the Yemenites are Mohammedans and theEthiopians are Christians, the two people are forgetting their re ligious differences and uniting un der the bond of color. Sr ejects oi inam Yahya are seek ing to enlst in the Ethiopian army. The population numbers 3,500,000. They propose to reach Ethiopia through the port of Zeila in British Somalland. There is nothing to pre vent them from go.ng to Ethiopia before war is declared. It is believed that in ethe wake of the Yemenites over Asiatic nations, as far west as India, will send re cruits and supplies to help Haile Selassie. NATIONAL DENTAL ASS N. MEETING EN ST.

Gets 30,000 Letters j Daily; “Huey’s” An swer to Mob Protest New York, Aug 2—A form let ter alleging that he had received 31.217 letters “in one single day” and that he is now working “more than 20 clerks from early morning until way late in the night”, is all that Huey Long an swers to a letter from the N. A. A. C. P. regarding the brutal heating of Adam Avie at Villa Platte. La., on July 2nd. On July 18 the N A. A. C. P. forwarded to Senator Long the names and addresses of seven members of the mob of twenty five who took Avie from the Villa Platte jail and beat him with brass-studded straps until the mob thought him dead. The N. A. A. 0. P. reminded Senator Lung that he had boasted upon many occasions fo Louisiana’s ability to prevent lynehings and punish lynchers, and of his assertions federal legislation against lynch in gis unnecessary. To this specific information on the part played by each of the seven ringleaders of the mob, Senator Long can only reply, the N. A. A. C. P. points out, in a meaningless form letter, with which was sent a number of re prints of Senator Long’s speech es explaining his “Share the Wealth” plan. Mothers—Let your boys be Guide newsboys.
