Mobs “Break In”
Jails: Are Unfit
Washingon, Jan. 4ANP)One
of the reasons why mobs find it
so easy to break in jails was
revealed here last week when
federal inspectors, seeking
lock-ups to hold federal prison
ers, condemned 44 per cent of
those they visited as unfit.
Prisons in Alabama and Mis
sissippi were among those thut
were, found inadequate.
The local jails were not jud
ged on the high standards re
quired of federal institutions,
but on requirements thought
necessary for the safekeeping
persons over short periods,. Di
rector of the bureau of Prisons
Bates declared. The govern
ment houses in local jails some
serving short terms.
“Food" and “building and
equipment ’ are heavily weigh
ed in ihe federal estimate of a
prisonfitness, next in im
portance come “administra
tion and discipline" and per
sonnel". Hates attributes the
poor conditions to the fee sys
tem under which a sheriff is
paid on a basis of the number
of men in a jail, runs the pri
son from the fees, and pockets
the rest of the cash.
Only three jails in the coun
try are rated above 900 per
cent. These were in Califor
nia, Idaho and Minnesota. Jails
in Alabama and Mississippi,
typical of the South where
mobs run rampant, showed ‘2(i
rating between 50 and 59 per
cent and42 under 50 per cent,
while in Missisippi 10 were be
tween 50 and 59 per cent and
07 rated less than 50 ptr cent.
Italian Fascists
Having Trouble
‘At Home’
Amsterdam, Holland
(ONA)—Reports received here
indicate that the difficulties of
Mussolini’s fascist regime are
not only in East Africa hut al
so at home. Strife is said to be
bitterly waging between the
fascist generals, growing out of
the failure of the Italian army
to make satisfactory headway
in Ethiopia.
The heavy rains arc only four
months away, and it is well
known tliut it is virtually im-j
possible to penetrate into the
Ethiopian hinteiand due to the
soggy marshy land.
The ‘Haagsche Post’, local
newspaper, printed an article
in which it was declared:
“In Italy there is increasing
depression. Signs of loss of
faith In ultimate cistofry be
come more noticeable. These
signs multiplied by the possibil
ity of more effective embar
goes’’.

Critic Club Debate
(Continued From Page 1)
don with his unreserved, yet
unassuming attitude stunned
the members of the opposition
with his method of presentation
of a historical background of
Italy and Ethiopia. Mr. Gor
don’s sway came when mem
bers of the opposition were un
able to smear this contention as
being pertinent.
Messers Henry Thomas and
TTenrv Levels, members of the
negative team, however, held
closely to the rules of Collegiate
debating and proved their is
sues from three main points of
view, namely: Social, Econom
ilal and, Ethical. Mr. Thomas
pointed out that, “Mussolini’s’’
motives were purely selfish, in
as-much ns the development of
Ethiopia wa not at heart and,
that the principle of jutsice
must always prevail where the
betterment of a country is con
cerned regardless of si*e or
race. Mr. Thomas appealed to
the judges in his closing re
marks how fifty-one nations
had decided to place an em
bargo on all of Italy’s goods
and, likewise boycott her of all
important products.
Mr. Levels opened his argu
ment. by refuting much of the
oppositions argument and de
clared, “that much of their
prepared and m emoriie d
speeches were irrelevant to the
question for debate, and that
Italy’s invasion set a bad pre
cedence for other nations, large
or small.’’ Mr. Levels pointed
j out further that Mussolini had
encouraged mass production of
marriages by making offers of
attraction, and that his para
mount purpose for so doing was
to make expansion in territory
necessary. Mr. Levels again
pointed out, that the money,
energy and time, being spent by
the Italian people could be
spent to better advantages by
reducing pauperism and lower
ing its huge relief loads. In
conclusion Mr. Levels proved
that a formal declaration of
war was never made, and that
the invasion was began at
Mussolini’s will. These injust
ices are far from intelligent and
highly civilized countries and,
the act within itself is deemed
Lindbergh Flight
Due Partly To
Lynching—Tobias
New York, Jan. 4.—That the
growing lawlessness in the United
States which caused Colonel
Charles Lindbergh and his family
to flee from the United StSates
for safety is caused in part by
“the complacency with which
America has accepted the brutal
lynchings of scores of Negroes an
nually” was charged today in let
ters to the New York papers by
Channing H. Tobias, Senior Sec
retary for Colored Work of the
Y. M. C. A. Wth his letter Mr. To
bias sent copies of the leaflet re
cently published by t h e NAACP
containing a photograph of the
lynching of Rubin Stacy at Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, in which well
dressed white children stand look
ing at the suspended body. Mr.
Tobias also declares that “the
apathy on the part of some, and
hostilty on the part of others in
the last Congress when an anti
lynching bill was proposed for
passage,” is responsible for the
growing indifference to human
life which is becoming so acute a
problem in the United States.
Raise $305 To
Aid Ethiopia
New York, Jan. 4 (ANP)
■—With JJz Tasfayo Zaphire,
first secretary of the Imperial
Ethiopian location in London
ns the chief speaker, 3,000 New
Yorkers gathered at a mass
meeting held Monday night in
the Abyssinian Baptist Church
here and raised $305 for that
nation’s defense.
This sum will be used to pur
chase medical and other sup
plies for the Ethiopian forces,
Zaphiro, who was introduced
by the Rev. It. Clayton Powell,
pastor of the church, appealed
to those interested in the fate
of Ethiopia to coordinate the
efforts of the various agencies
working to raise funds and
supplies to his country.
