April 16 (CNA) — The United States Supreme Court ruled last Monday that u labor dis pute was created w'hen the New Negro Alliance requested a Dis trict of Columbia grocer chain/ to. employ Negro clerks in stores in Negro neighborhoods. The court held that local Feder al courts erred in enjoining mem bers of the Alliance from picket ing stores of the Sanitary Grocery company in protest against its job basis policy The court held such an injunc lion was prohibited under the Nor ris-LaGuardia act outlawing Fed eral arti-picketing injunctions in labor dispute cases. The ruling, it is believed here, will serve tto spur the fight to force private employers and public utilities, in particular, to abandon their traditional policy of barring employment of Negroes except as porters, ate.

Called White Man's Disease New York, April 16 (ANP)—In a remarkable article appearing in the April issue, “Survey Graphic," Dr. Thomas Parian, nationally knomn authority on public health and the Surgeon-General of the United States, gives an interesting insight into the magnitude of the twin scourges of mankind—syphil is and tuberculosis—and tells why Negroes suffer such a high death rate from these diseases. Dr. Par ian’s article says in part: “Syphilis is the white man’s dis-' ease. Tuberculosis is the white man’s disease. It is said by medical historians that (the Negro slave hrought malaria and the hook worm to America. If he did, the white man paid him back with us urgy by giving him tuberculosis and syphilis, from both of which ho suffers more greatly than the races originally the reservoir of infection. “Among the circumstances con tributing to his abnormally high death rate from these and other causes, not. the least is the fact that the Negro is at the bottom of the economic ladder. For, as among | the third of the population known to be ill-fed, ill-clothed and ill housed, as a race North and South —and especially in the rural South — his house is the most miserable, hi clothing the scantiest, his food ration most out of balance. “Add to proverty is ignorance. For except in a few cities, public school budgets, thin at the best— and especially in the rural South— ■ are divided disproportionately be tween the white and colored. Rare lv has a Negro child the opportun ity to go past the elementary grades in the rural schools. Rarely does a rural school offer him more than a few months a year. I he Negro can not climb over, the barriers to his competency un less he is physically sound to begin with. Unless he is given the oppor tunity for health, he can take pro fitable advantage to mo other op portunity. Not s a matter of char ity, but as the expression of justice and wisdom for all races concern ed, public health must be the base 1 line of effort—the point of depar ture for all successful programs of educational and economic improve ment.” -o JACK JOHNSON IS 60 New York April 16 (C)—Jack Johnson, who was the first Negro to hold the title of world's heavy weight champion, “was 60 last Thursday, and boasted that he can whip Joe Louis today.
