C., April 9 (By Dr. H. II. Haaen for ANP)— So flar as the author is aware, there has no where appeared in popuAir language an authorized account of the methods for com batting the venereal diseases. Of necessity, such an account must commence with a discussion of prophylaxis. Much has been heard of the vir tues of male and female chastity, as well as of the value of the pub lic prophylactic stations, especially during the World War. Packages for prophala.xis are sold in drug stores in many communities. It is well known that soap and water almost immediately kill the germ syphilis. The ordinary citizens de pend, however, upon luck and at times on various mechanical con trivances. The annual crop of dhildren born with hereditary syphilis is some 60,000. This would not hap pen if the mothers were well treat ed, beginning by the fifth month of pregnancy. Only a brave man would say that the present generation of youth is more chaste than the past generation. Is this due to the fail ure of chaperonage, to the auto mobile, to divorce, to lewd movies and indecent literature, to liquor, to drugs, to the modem style of dress, to the failure of the church, or to economic stress? Prophylactic stations in war time France were universally ac credited with keeping the venereal disease rate among the soldiers at a very low point. Whiy are they tot used in America? Do you know of the influence brought to bear on Congress by certain female re ligious organizations, who felt that venoreal disesases were a divine visitation for what they were pleased to call ,'sin,” Arc “prophylactic packages’* of value to both male and female? IIow promptly should they bo us ed ? What is the attitude of your state health officer ns regards their use? What does your physi cian say regarding them, What are the values of douches and various mechanical ppo’ectives? Of course, there i9 no known vaccine, and no type of injection has been proven to. be successful against innoculation. The medical inspection of licen sed prositutes has given rise to a feeling of fulsc security; in addi tion, most prostitution is clandes tine. Unfortunately, the United States Public Health service has so far been qnlet on the subject of pro phylaxis. To have been otherwise would have boon ito offend the emo tions and susceptibilities of certain worthy individuals or organiza tions.

Tho individual companies in the Association have had thier taxes increased tiemerndoualy by this Act, the total of which is estimated to be more than $100,000.00, since the tax for 1937 was 2 per cent of the payroll and for 1938 will be 3 per cent of the payroll, which in cludes commissions and all other compensations paid to agents. The compenies are seeking an amend ment to the Social Security Act to exclude field workers from the op eration of the Act. Several states including Tennessee, Kentucky, Ala bama, and Texas, have placed field workers of the insurance companies in the exempted class; and the companies are seeking this exemp tion under the federal act so that it will operate uniformly in all states. Ttie primary reason of the com panies seeking this exemption arises because they do not see how their employees (field) can benefit from the Act. The insurance com panies do not lay off field worker because of slack conditions or be cause of seasonal demand. As long as workers can produce and are efficient, they are retained, and when they leave the employ of the they do so permently because they get better work elsewhere. The companies, therefore, feel that they are paying out this money for no benefit whatever either to the workers or themselves and, there fore, seek the exemption. A committee has been appointed, consisting of Harry H. Pace, pres ident of Supreme Liberty Life In-j surance company, and general counsel of the National Negro In surance Association: M. Stuart, vice- president of the Universal Life Insurance company of Mem phis. Tenessee; W. D. Hill, assist ant secretary- comptroller of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insur ance compeny; and J. Leonard L°w is, general counsel of the Afro American Life Insurance compeny of Jacksonville, Florida, which comnittee will have the task of lay ing before the sought amendment. It was noteworthy that in this call ed meeting of the Executive Com mittee and executives of members companies all companies in the Assoration were represented, the exception of three. In addition to the specific task of working for the exemption of field workers from the operation of the Social Security Title IX, the Executive Committee had before it the approval of the program fo the eighteenth annual session o the National Negro Insurance As sociation which will be held in Cleveland, Ohio in the month of June. This program will be perfect ed ntid armainced to member com panies and the public at least CO clays before the convening of the session. The Supreme Liberty L’fe Insurance company, which has of fices in Cleveland, and the Dunbar Mutual Insurance company will act as hosts for the meeting.

(Adv.) * „ Nashville, Tenn, April 9 (ANP) —Speaking on “The .Mob Still Hides.” Arthur Raper, Research anJ Field Secretary. Commission on Interracial Cooperation, ap peared before a group of students1 ami faculty members at Fisk uni versity last Tuetdaj, and blasted some of the popular notions about' lyrchings in America. I)i. Raper, author of ‘,1 be Tra of Lynching,” and “A P»e* face to Peasantry.” had spoken to the Nashville public Monday even ing at a Race and Culture Forum, during which he revealed many significant facts on cotton tenancy) in the South To the group of Fisk students and faculty on Tuesday last Dr. Raper remarked that most lynch-j i-gs of late have not occurred in, the Black Belt or in the old slave areas, but in *.he newer areas of the South where Negroes have he-! gun to express their desire for freedom and independence. This fact he described as an indication trot lynching is a southern techni auo used to hold Negroes in check. “According to figures ot ft] on roe Work at Tuskagee Institute,” said Dr. Ilaper, ‘‘?7 per cent of all lynchings in the last decade as reported by the white pres? take place because <.f homicide charges against Negroes. But there is such thing as justifiable homicide, and, if the cases of justifiable homicide were substracted from the .17 per cent, the remainder would be very small. Only 16 per rent of these lynchings as reported by the white press are attributed to rape and 25 per cent to miscellaneous rea sons, mostly misdemeanors. To Lessen Competition for .lobs “These figures indicate that con trary to popular belief, most Ne groes are not lynched for rape and attempted rape on white women, but for an economic motive—to keep down the competition of Ne groes with whites.” Ho then remarked that there are two types of lynchings—orderly ,,n<l disorderly. The orderly kind is veil planned and carried out by whites who are leaders in their communities. These leaders often get the sheriff and his officers to help carry out the lynching. The diorderly kind takes place in com munities where the leading white citizens are above the level of lyn ching Negroes, but where mofcs of poor whites defy the sheriff and carry out their will to lynch. Lynchers. Chief Consorters With Colored Women “I am suspicious of these white men who cry that Negroes must be lynched to protect white woman hood,” asserted Dr. Raper, “I have learned that most such white men are guilty of contorting with Ne gro women. Therefore, they know that since they are neglecting their own women and at the same time are depriving Negro men of Ne-| gro women, the two neglected groups (Negro men am white wo men) have a natural tendency to seek one another for satisfaction, j Ho explained how lynching is tied with the whole system of cot ton tenancy, segregation, and be-j liefs of racial superiority and in feriority. Too, he stated that the reason why some white people get so alarmed over interracial meet ings of any kind is because they| know that since there is no natural! hatred between Negroes and whites | onre they start coming together they will like one another. Dniiger of Future Legal Lynching “There is a kind of lynching| likely to come.” commented Dr. Raper. “of which I am ore afraid than the kind we have now. This kind I speak of has a fascist t»nit | to it. As Negroes are gradually moved out of jobs onto relief foils ond whites put in their places, theve may come to power certain white office holders who. in order | to convince the public that thet. | can handle the racial situation, might proceed “to lynch” Negroes with the approval of the state. That typo of lynching will be worse tlujn the present type bc-( cause it will be legal.” Throughout his speech, Dr. Ro per maintained that “legal lynch ings,” sanctioned by the courts vicre 'worse than lyrrhings at the h-mds of moibs. because once a court has “lynched” a Negro no thing can be dor.r about it. --O WOMAN EVANGELIST ENDS BIG REVIVAL Louisville. April 9 (By William Perris for ANP)—A packed audit orium last Sunday might at Broad way AME Zion church brought to p. ' close a successful two-weeks evangelistic campaign conducted by Rev. Mrs. Katherine Player of Jamaica, Long Island. The evange list was presented $150 in money, a brief case, flowers and other tokens of appreciation by Rev J. L. White, pastor, ow behalf of the church. During the revival Mrs. Player raised irwne then $300 for the cl.urch and added many persons to the membership list bv conversion and accession.

Cle ment. with Mrs. Moieskn Griffin, organist and Mrs. F.lmer Grundy, cornetist. presented musical pro grams during the revival. Scottsboro Committee Protests Attack On Charles Weems New York, April 9 (ANP)—An attack Tuesday by John Barton, white, guard at Kilby prison in Montgomery, Ala., on Charles; Weems, one of the five Scottsboro boys still imprisoned, has caused the Scottsboro Defense committee to ask Governor Bibb Graves to re move the boys to Jefferson county] jail in Birmingham for their safe keeping pending legal action Weems was cut across the face and head by Barton. Warden Prank Boswell said it was his opinion the guard ‘‘acted to protect himself” from attack by Weems, accused of having a stick and a prison made knife. The youth, however, denied he attacked the guard and Governor Graves had ordered Bar ton suspended pending an indepen dent investigation to be conducted by Solicitor Temple Seibels of Montgomery county. The defense oommittce’s tele gram to Governor Graves, sent Wedniesday, said: “Scottsboro 'Defense Committee deply shocked at cutting of Char les Weems, one of Scottsboro de fenders, by a prison guard yes terday. News dispatches indicate this to be unprovoked attack cov ered up by excuse prisoner had home made knife, but no account of disarming prisoner or descovery of knife. .This slashing, coupled with shooting of Ozie Powel in 1936. supports popular belief defendents are in critical danger regardless of legal moves in their behalf. We note your suspension of guard and order for investigation. Outrageous attack on Weems prompts us to urge most strongly transfer of de fendants to Jefferson county jail, in Birmingham fo!r their safe keeping pending legal action.” -o under double death SENTENCE IN N. C. Winston-Salem, N. C., April 9 (ANP)—Ernest Howie, already sentenced for criminally assaulting a white woman, was given a second death sentence M6nday for raping a 14 year ol<] Negro girl.

Bryce Crawford County Judge Be 4-2-38—En. 4-16-38 Patronize Advertisers Our Bishop Hits NAACP In Dixie Radio Talk Augusta, Go., April 9 (ANP)— Bishop Collins Denny, of Richmond, Va., and a prelate of the M. K. church, South, delivered an address Monday over the local radio sta tion on the merger of the various 1 ranches of the Methodist church. Among the many things he said was that the race question was an important one in the discussion, and that no self respecting Negro would apply to a w^ite church in the South for membership. His op inion is that racial integrity should be preserved, each race developing its own religious life. He spoke of the fight the “Na tional Association for the Protec tion of Colored People,” (meaning presumably the NAACP) had made to get Negroes in the University of Virginia, and that the state was forced to take “their own money.” and send Negroes bo Northern schools, where both races attend. He started the same thing would happen in all southern states. The good Bishop warned the people that the NAACP was working to break down every barrier of distinction between the races, even bo their intermarriage. He seems worried, because the white Methodists are not moving fast enough to prevent the merger. Ho says southerners “Are hard to get started, but when they do, by the grace of God, they aTe hard to stop, and they are waking up and getting started.” —. n — ■ TRIAL RECORDS LOST; CONDEMNED MAN SAVED Tattnall Prisfti; Gn., April 9 (ANP—.Saturday monning, one hour before he was scheduled to die in the electric chair, Archie Heyward of Worth county was told he had been granted a ten-day res pite by Downing Mu*grove, execu tive secretary to Governor Rivers.
