Calvins Digest By FLOYD J. CALVIN Listed by EDITOR & PUBLISHER War Threatens If war comes row it will he thrust upon a world that does not want war. Even the puppet na tions, struggling under the heels, of dictators, are not as anxious to fight as they pretend. The rea son is the cost of war is too frightful. There are on longer any illusions about dying in mud waist deep, or being buried standing up. War might give the sagging eco nomic system a lift; but that is all. We all know' it would be an artificial boost, to be followed by a worse callaspe later. So we might as well try to figure our way out of this dilema, as to have a worse one with which to con tend. Nobody knows what the sabre rattling dictators are going to do, finally. All a sorely tried world can do is watch and wait. In the selection of Dr. L. II.

Brown has now struck out for $1,000,000 increase for the 3,000 low-paid workers of the Dis trict of Columbia. Appearing be fore the District Commissioners on 1 Monday, September 12, Mr. Brown | asked that 3,000 workers be given consideration to the extend of add ing $1,000,000 to the District bud get, so that school and hospital custodians and orderlies, street sweepers, ash collectors, garbage removers and thousands of inter, mittent per djem wortiers—that these people be given a five day week and regular status on the annual roll with sick leave and an nual leave as others in the federal service. The UGE has already set an en viable record in guining increases for low-pa ill Federal workers, no tably in the Department of the In terior. May they be sccessful in this latest attempt. Yt'mg Mpn Up The Baptist conclave in St. Louis brought two militant young men into the spotlight—Rev. A. Clay tor Powell Jr., of New York and Attorney Joseph A .Booker of Chi cago. Rev. Powell, leader in the labor fight in Harlem which has been successful in winnnig many new jobs, was one of the principal speakers of th. convention. Mr. Booker, son o fa distinguished Arkansas educatof, was one of the main speakers before the laymen’s section. Dr. L. K. Williams who is an inspiration to youth, was re elected president of the convention for the 17th consecutive time. Bup_ tist affairs are still in progressive hands. Nr.tieral Resources Varying ir terpretation are beinq; placed on tho figures released 1 y tho National Resources Committee. The Negro Labor News Serviro of New York points out that: The Committee’s figures also show that 42 per cent of the families of the country are getting under $1,000 a year. This is certainly a powerful indictmmt of capitalism. Experts tell the technical knowledge and tho available man-power to turn out an average of $5,000 a year for every family in the country. Yet we are falling far short of that figure which engineering sci ence makes possible, simply and solely because ur.dev capitalism there has been a complete failure to distribute to the workers and farmers the purchasing power ne cessary to keep our industries go ing at anything near full blast.” This is something to think about, indeed. -O Patronize Our -7»T.

Carmichael was requested Friday by Morris Shapiro, Sctossboro De fense committee counsell, to set a dato for hearing pardon appli. cations on behalf of Andy Wright Charlie Weems and Clarence Nor ris. However, Qov. Graves, who is in Washington, will probably set the date as is his custom. Pardons were asked for the boys recently in a hearing before the pardon board. At that time the state refused to recomnv'nd pardons for Haywood Patterson and Ozle P well and said pleas for Norris Weems and Wright, wero "prematurely made” since time for appeals had rot expired.

And I says, no. Well, he says, this dog looked like 2 bits but the feller held his price at 10 thousand—but he did not sell him. And then one day ho rushed home and he said, I sold tho dog. But when he was pinned down he said is wasn’t exactly 10 thousand in cash—it was kind of a trade—he got 2 nice five thou sand dollar cats. So I says, were the cats sure enough worth 5 thousand? And our neighbor, he took a long breath and he looked out the win dow and far away and he says, Jo, I see now why some of our elect ions turn out sofunny.
