Nov. 4—A recent parade through New York’s Chin, esc district to raise funds to aid China in the war with Japan rais. ed a total of $11,000 in a few minu tes. Contributions were tossed in'o flogs ami banners carried by young women, and long strings to which were tied bills of all dominations were fed into the mouth of a cloth dragon. Pointing out that New York’s Chinese population is many times smaller than its Negro population, thu NAACP today cited the sacri fice of the Chinese people for their st.riekened nation as an example to he followed by colored Americans, The New York parade was only one small part of the money which most Chinese are raising and send ing to their home land- San Fran cisco Chinese are reported to have already sent $1,500,000 back home. “Colored people are being mis treated and denied opportunities every1 day in the year,” said the NAACP statement, “but if the morn furtunate members of the race would sacrifice and raise the funds necessary to carry on the fight for their brothers, much greater progress could he made against the handicaps we face. We also hnve an example from the Jewish people who are raising this year more than four million dollars to aid Jews in other parts of the i world. The millions of colored Am ericans, even though they are not wealthy, could raise a fund to fight for their rights which would change the picture within a year.” .-o Appointed to Chicago Recreation Hoard Chicago, Oct. 28 (ANP)—May or Edward J.

Rogers and family Mr. and Mrs Joe Owen Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Owen and family Children Dark Clouds Hang OVer Ohio AME Sky; Politics Involved Cleveland, Nov, 4 (By Clarence L. Simmons for ANP)—Apparent ly the slight controversy between tho North Ohio conference of the AME church, Bishop Reverdy C Ransom and the Rev. William II. Hodge, former pastor of Avery AME church here, is not altogether settled. There aro still a few dark clouds handing over the horizon, although Rev. Hodge accepted the pastorate at Bethel AME church at Columbus, instead of the one offered him Weirton, W. Va-, and to the W. Va. Conference. It was at Akron that all the fuss started during the session of he N. C. conference which Bishop Ransom reading the appointments, got to Avery church and announced the remi val of Rev. Hodge. The stun ned pastors attending the meeting looked at one another as they came I into the realization that Bishop Ransom had struck at the one ! man under him who had refused to accept the political faith of the Bishop. Bishop Ransom is a Democrat of many years standing. With the turnover of Negroes from the Re publican party with the rapidity of lightning, he has loomed larger as a state and national leader in his party. Last year he was appointed a member of the state parole board by Governor Martin L. Dnvejr at a salary of $6,000 a year. On the other hand, Rev. Hodge, since coming to Cleveland approxi mately five years ago, is very ac tive in the Republican party. He stumped the state for his party and has played a big part in local elections. When asked about the rumor that he was not in accord with Bishop Ransom’s program, Rev. Hodge said that he was not in harmony with the Bishop and I)r. D. O. Walker in their program to make Democrats of all Negroes in Ohio. When the newly appointed pastor the Rev. S. H. McGee, reported to Avery the following Sunday, mem bers and officers asked him to leave the church and would not per mit him to conduct the services. They padlocked the doors. An el aborate investigation was launched into the controversy by local news paper reporters. It was disclosed through this investigation that for ward satements were not in nccord with their findings. Absolute denial of the circulated story of the pre vious week that the Bishop had transferred Rev. Hodge because of his political activities was made by AME officials. tacts gleaned disclosed that the story was merely a misdirected at tempt to cover up the real truth behind the transfer of Rev, Hodge, which is wholly based, officials stated on the fact that Avery church has shown no commendable progress during the five years of Rev. Hodge’s pastorate there. Re ports of the last conference dis closed that members of the church had asked Bishop Ransom last year to remove Rev. Hodge because of his failure to properly carry on tho work of the church and be cause the church had made no real progress since he had been pastor. As evidence that Rev. Hodge has failed to show progress, AME of ficials point out that the two mort iages against the church, one for $8,000 held by the Cleveland Trust and a second mortgage of $4,000, hove not been reduced in principal, nor has the interst been kept up during his pastorate. They also claim that the financial state of the church is in a deplorable condition. In reference to this, Rev. Hodge I stated that he thought his work in building up Avery church from a small mission to the third church in Cleveland, had not been given the proper recognition by Bishop Ransom. Much significance is attached by the AME officials to the fact that most of the delegation which wait ed on Bishop at Cincinnati asking for Rev. Hodge’s return were not members of Avery—and that all of the telegrams of protest ex cept one, at Hodge’s removal, came from Republican clubs. Further in vestigation showed that a major ity of the church members are not clamoring for Rev. Hodge’s return. So the AME conference pot is yet boiling. AMERICAN WIENER SHOP 2509 N. 24th, fltreet. REST CTT1T/I AND REST RED HOTS IN THE WEST AT T- KTNDS of S ANDWICHES Ice cold beer to complete the meal Complete Plans For Christmas Seal Sale I ’ Plans are practically complete ! for the opening of the thirty first , annual Christmas Seal campaign : throughout Nebraska on Thanks . giving day, November 25th, ac cording to Miss Alice Marshall, | executive secretary of the Nebras ka Tuberculosis Association, who, within the past three months, has organized county campaigns and appointed 156 Seal Sale chairmen. Miss Marshall says that the need for a vigorous program against tu- i i berculosis is increasingly necessary i in view of a recent national sur vey by the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association that re veals tuberculosis is still the fore most cause of death between the ages of! 15 and 45 “The tragedy of tuberculosis is that it strikes mainly at the most vial elements of the community, ' people in the prime of life, during their most productive period and greatest value to their family and community,” continues Miss Mar shall. “Tuberculosis has not been wiped out despite every effort we have made to do so.” Great progress nas been mane since the war, but the last six or _ i sevr ven is why health leaders feel the pu- J blic must not be lulled into a sen se of false security by figures show j ing a decreased death rates from the disease,” she says. A jolly town crier provides the basis for the design of the 1937 i Christmas Seal, the little penny stamp that finances the fight ag ainst tuberculosis, not only in the United States but in many other countries. On a background of bright blue, the town crier is pic tured ringing his bell with his right hand, and carrying his lan tern in the other. The color com bination of the yellow rays from the lantern, the bright red scarf and mittens of the crier,, and his brown coat, form a unique and at tractive seal. This year’s seal bears but one word, “Greetings” and the year, 1937. As is customary, Christmas Seals will not go on sale prior to Thanksgiving Day, so as not to conflict with the campaign conduct ed by the American Red Cross- All Seal Sale efforts will be concen trated on the time between Thanks I giving and Christmas. --—o Dies In Attempt To Save His Son-in-law New Orleans, Nov. 4 (ANP) — Wesley Lewis, 40 years old died a hero’s death last Monday morning as he vainly tried to save the life his son-in law, Walter Lemieux, 29. Both men worked at the Celotex Company plant at Marrero and were assigned to be a big crane used to unload freight cars. At the time of the. accident the crane was being moved from one part of the plant to the other, with Lemieux walking at the rear of the crane and helping to turn it by pry ing his crowbar beneath the wheels. As the machine turned, it suddenly came in contact with a high tension wire, the steel frame of the. crane completing the electric circuit and sending the 1,300 volts through Lemieux’ body. His father-in law, Lewis, seeing his plight, ran to the rescue, was also electrocuted as he tried to free Lemieux’ body frozen to the steel wheels. Other workers shouted to Wilfred Dufresne, op erator of the crane, to remain in the control cabin until the power could be turned off. The wooden floor on which he was standing saved Dufresne. Dr. M. M. Odom, Jefferson parish coroner, investi gated tl*e tragic accident. Resignation Of Noted Social Worker Stuns The Northwest Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 28 (ANP)—Miss W. Gertrude Brown, hfad resident of Phyllis Wheatley Settlement House in Minneapolis for the past 13 years has resigned her post to become effective Nov ember 1st. Minnesota, and particularly Minneapolis and St. Paul were be wildered and stunned at the news that their friend, benefactor and leader for such a long time, has decided to leave them for other fields of endeavor. Through Miss Brown’s efforts the status of the northside community where the house is located has been changed from one of very ordinary propor tions to one of outstanding import ance with its $100,000 setkment in the midst of the new PWA hous ing project. Negroes feel her de parture jeopardizes the status of colored citizens of the city to an inestimable extent, and have cir culated petitions under the direc tion of the Minnesota Negro Coun cil asking that she reconsider her move and decide to return at the end of her six monhs leave of ab sence which the board has accord ed her in recognition of her long service to the development of the house.. In accepting her resignation the board passed a resolution re gretting her action most sincerely. The Council outlined her activi ties in their petition, and stated: ‘ We feel that Minneapolis cannot afford to lose this individual who gained the prestige of being nomin ated to the Court of Honor as an outstanding woman who has con tributed toward the achievement of Minnesota women during Women’s Week Exposition in Minneapolis. (The only Njegro so honored). She was selected as America’s repre sentative to the Women’s Interna tional Peace Conference in Dublin, Ireland, by Miss Jane Addams; she is a member of the Minneapolis In terracial Commission, Urban Lea gue Board, Twin City Federation of Setlements; a member of the Un ited States Constitutional Sesqui centennial Committee for the city of Minneapolis, a member of the Advisory Board for the PWA Fed eral Housing Project. The possibil ity of her definite <1/ parture jeo pardizes the status of colored citi zens of the state, and we fe»el that all possible efforts should be ex erted so we may not lose the ser vices of one who has built up a $100,000 institution, who has acted as arbiter in every controversy of the minority group, and whose act iviti s in interracial matters can not be replaced.” In order to secure a cross section of the sentiment of the community the Council circulated petitions which were signed by over 1,800 persons urging that Miss Brown return to Minneapolis at the ex piration of her well earned six months leave of absence. The name of Miss W. Gertrude Brown has become synonomous with Phyllis Wheatley House, and the name of Miss Brown has stood for progress generally among Negroes and whi b-s in Minnesota. A banquet is be ing given in her honor November 4th, at the University of Minnesota Union by the citizens of the Twin Cities to b? followed by an Open House Reception at the Settlement House. Many of her friends from out of the state will attend.

The foes of the anti lynching bill, of course, are seeking any me thod by which they can tie up the bill. They know the votes are there to pass it, but if they can juggle the program in anyway, taking advantage of any ‘breaks,” they intend to do so. The foes of the Roosevelt ad ministration are using every op portunity to embarass the Pre sident’s program and are working the anti lynching bill overtime The NAACP, which is heading the forces seeking the enactment of the anti-lynching bill, is urging all organizations and individuals sup porting the bill to see their sena tors and congressmen in personal conferences before they go to Washigton, urging them to insist upon the inclusion of the anti lynching bill in the special session. The bill already has passed the House, but in order to limit the special session program, a resolu tion has to be passed by both the House and the Senate and, there fore, congressmen who already have suported the bill can render still further service by refusing to limit its consideration in the Sen ate. Another danger which the NAA CP warns against is the possibility that there will be an attempt to eliminate from the bill the section imposing a financial penalty on the counties where lynchings occur. This is the most improtant section of the bill and is one which has drawn the sharpest criticism from opponents. The NAACP points out that every anti-lynching bill now on the books of the various states contains a penalty provision. The South Carolina anti-lynching law has a provision that the counties may be fined $2,000. Every effort should bs made to resist the attempts to amend the bill and remove this penalty, for without this section the bill will have practically no teeth. There is also the ever present danger of a filibuster which must be fought, and voters should make their wishes known to their con gressmen without delay.
