I Police Arrest Writers Investigating South ern Conditions Birmingham, Ala. — (CNA) — With undisguised effrontery, the police arrested and held for sev eral hours three members of a delegation of writers organized by the National Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners to fight for the repeal of anti-Negro and anti-labor legislation in the South. Chief of Police Luther Hollums warned the delegation that if it did not leave town immediately he would not be responsible for its future safety. Prominent Delegates Those arrested were Bruce Crawford, formerly editor of Crawford’s Weekly, at Norton, Virginia; Shirley Hopkins, of Truro, Massachusetts, author of a book of poems; and A1 Hirsch, writer and secretay of the N. C. D- P. P. Miss Hopkins and Craw ford were fingerprinted, and Hirsch was cuffed by a policeman for refusing to answer questions. The Downs “seditious litera ture” ordinance of Birmingham and the Georgia slave “insurrec tion” law under which Angelo Herndon was convicted are the two immediate pieces of legisla tion against which the delegation hopes to arouse wide-spread pub lic opinion fo relimination from the statute books. Frame Militants Both law"s have been used by officials acting in concert with wealthy white landlords and in dustrialists to frame militant Ne gro and wiiite laborers who sought to organize against the wage and relief cutting offen sives. Hollums tc(ld the delegation that he would not guarantee them protection against the “gangs” in Birmingham. By “gangs” is meant the White Le gion and other fascist groups. “We can’t control these gangs”, he said. The implication w*as plain that the police would leave an attack on the delegation to the extra-legal fascist groups. Despite these intimidations, the delegation has announced that it will continue its fight with re newed activity.

Describes Joe Louis As a Factor For Social Good Chicago, Aug. 14, (ANP)—Is Joe Louis, the sensational heavy weight prize fighter conscious of the duai role he must play in life, one a role as a pugilist which he eagerly sought ; the other, a rofe as ambassador for the uplift of his people? The burden of holding up the good name of his raee is a greater load to be foisted onto the shoulders of a 21-year-old bo^ than an entire flock of present day heavyweights would be. Joe has captured the imagination of the American public. Through him, white Americans see a type of Negro they did not suspect ex isted. We know that there are many like him- But Joe has got the chance to show. Will he take the responsibility to heart? Is it too much to ex pect of a boy of his years? Not only millions of Negroes are wondering if the CHARACTER of Joe Louis, nowr that his fists have drawn attention to him, will continue to hold his race up, but also millions of whites. Their hearts have been drawn to this unassuming colored boy. Thus he has all classes in America looking to him. He is a model for white boys as well as colored boy—as long as he does not for sake the “character” created for him in the public imaginatin. The following e d itorial from the Chicago Herald-Examiner calls pointed attention to the po sition Joe Louis occupies as a young citizen of the United State: “THE CASE OF JOE LOUIS” s “In the history of the world fewr boys of 21 have had the op portunity to express themselves as social factors that today lies in the lap of young Joe Louis. “A year ago today he was an autombileo mechanic in Detroit Today, throughout the civlized '.vorld, he is discussed as a pos sible world-champion boxer. “Whether or not he ever at tains that goal, he has impressed himself upon the imagination of millions as an example of clean living and UNEMOTIONAL be havior. “Neither Haile Selassie, nor any of the black ancient rulers of the Rome that now menace him, ever had such a following of loy al friends and wTell-wishers as the bronze Apollo. Twelvs million Americans of his racial descent idolize him. Otlfer millions, in eluding Cabots and Lowells .admire his tech nique and are willing to wager that in a tour of Europe he can detroy the ambitions of any hairy giant that ths old countries can produce. “From the depth of South Af rican diamond mines to the re motest igloo of the Arctic circle— thanks to radio—the name of Louis was on the lips of every he man yesterday. “The world’s spotlight is on him—not so much because he de feated a hard-fighting and good losing Chicagoan in Le vinsky— but because he appears to be a man of destiny in a game that at best is sordid business, “Prize fighting is brutal ,as any participant or devotee will admit. Whether it is'degrading is another question. If it is such, then a poll of ringsiders at any good match might destroy the public’s faith in its leaders—po litical, industrial and profession al. “But back to Joe Louis. If he can hold the poise, restraint and decency of personal conduct thaf he has shown thus far in his brief career he may do as much for his race as the great Booker T. Wash ington accomplished. ‘' While he is the idol he will be imitated- If he slips frflun the pic ture of a Bible-reading, fiddle playing mother’s boy he will be followed. “Joe Louis has the respect of millions of men and women to day. May he hold it.” Along with the w’hite editor of the Herald-Examiner, Joe’s bre thern in blood are also praying', “May he hold it.” Boston Protests At tacks on Ethiopia Boston, Mass., (CNA)—A Ne gro and white delegation repre senting the Provisional Cominit ;te for Equal Opportunities regis tered a vigorous protest with the Italian Consulate here today against the w’ar upon Ethiopia. The ice Consul received the pro test from the chairman but re fused to receive or hear the dele gation, stating “the Consulate has nothing to do with the war I and is here for other business.” The chairman of the delegation Richard B. Moore, Boston organ izer of the International Labor Defense, protested against “the unprecedented violation of estab lished diplomatic procedure and Courtesy by refusing to receive and hear a delegation desiring to transmit a protest to your gov ernment,” Dr. S .G. Pavlo, S' Calderaro, Dr. M. Cravath Simp son, and Mrs. Mary Moore were, the other members of the delega-! tion. The statement left for trans mission to the Italian government “p-rotests vehemently against the invasion and slaughter of the I Ethiopian people, ’ ’ condemns j ‘ ‘ the vicious propaganda which is being employed to justify this! war of conquest by slandering the Ethiopian people, who achieved a high state of civiliza tion in the earliest historic period as ‘savages,’ “and demands” the withdrawl of all troops and the recognition and observance of in ternational treaties solemnly guaranteeing the independence of Ethiopia and outlawing wars of aggression. ’ ’ Woman Shot; Pulls Ball Out Of Skull “. Scotland Neck, N. C., Aug. 14, (ANP)—Fellow-revellers at a party expected to see Ethel Lawrence fall over lifeless when G. B. Richardson in a fit of sjiger pulled his pistol and fired point-blank in her face, but instead they saw her stagger, clasp her hand to her forehead and a ninute later cast the bullet on the | floor. The bullet had embodied it self in the skull of the woman just above the eye and did not penetrate the brain, hence she was able to pluck it cut without assistance. Medical aid was given at a doctor’s | office and the woman’s condition has been reported as satisfactory. Rchardson escaped following the shooting. Visits Friend In Jail; And Stays Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 14, (ANP)— Finding a razor in the package she was carrying to a friend in jail led to the incarceration of Eliza Harris, here Tuesday afternoon. The woman was one of the afternoon visitors at the jail and as she was entering the cell row to see Harvey Stephenson, who was charged with being drunk and disorderly a razor fell out of the package she was carrying and clat tered upon the floor. She told the jailer that she knew that Harvey needed a shave and that a white woman had sent him the razor and some pickles, but this explanation was not sufficient to keep her from becoming an inmate until the case was investigated.
