offers to give testimonial for
many products,—but I will endorse
anywhere this genuine southern
harcecue, as the very best I've
ever tasted and coming from Ala

southern barbecue.”

Dr. Wright did not dodge the po

“In a democracy political action
is the strongest weapon the com
mon people have, and their surest
protection against oppression and
discrimination. It is true that in
U>39 over a million Negroes are
disfranchised and robbed of the
vote in the South. But bhat does
not alter fundamental principles.
The remedy is not to take public
health out of politics, but to wago
a fight to get the vote for the 8
million Negroes,
“We lire in favor
of the Federal Government going
into the practice of medicine. We
insist that the Federal government
shall have the ultimate authority
to compel the city or county doctor
and the state health service to give
identical health coverage to every
citizen according to specific needs.”
Dr. Wright bitterly denounced
the National Medical Association
for attempting to get into the A
merican Medical Association “thru
the back door", while giving cer
tain support to the AMA. in fight
ing against the Wagner Health
Bill.

68-69-70-71 and 72 congresses; e
lected speaker of the house, Dec
ember 7, 1931; reelected to the 73
congress, hut resigned, having been
elected vice president of the Unit
ed States, Nov. 8, 1932; re-elected
vico president of the United States
Nov. 3, 1936.”
Cold figures and fact give little
indication on the surface of the
man —who is next to Franklin D.
Roosevelt as leader of the political
party in power.
Refusing to talk for publication
directly 'because of 'his position,
nevertheless Mr. Gamer in a most
remarkable conversation aired
some very interesting views, pure
ly personal, but nonetheless valu
able.
Bans Quotation
It is impossible to quote him for
he refuses to be quoted and will
not give interview,, either for th?
daily press, press associations,
magazines or any other type of
publication. He remarks that
when he was speaker of the house
he talked plenty, enjoyed being
quoted and seeing 'his name in
print, but when be became vice
president and a member of the cab
inet, he eschewed making any state
ment on questions of public policy,
gave a promise that he would not
seek the appointment of any per
son to office or disclose any infor
mation which came to him without
the consent of the president. He
certainly has kept that promise.
But that does not mean he won’t
talk “off the record,” and just as
white newspaper correspondents
have found the jovial white haired
presiding officer of the senate one
of the most colorful of personalit
ies, so have the colored reporters
who have had an opportunity to
invade his private office. It is im
possible to attempt to quote Mr.
Garner because the colorful and
picturesque adjectives that punct
uate his descriptive phrases fre
quently could not be published any
way. They aro too realistic and
savor too much of the wide open
spaeiou3 of Texas and the he-man
typo of talk for polite publication.
Garner knows a lot about color
ed people, is entirely conversant
with their problems, and has a lot
of ideas about their progress and
t citizenship surprisingly broad and
in many of his attitude* and priv
ately expressed opinions, almost
beyond liberal.
Why he has never put them into
action is another question, but in
private conversation, they fre
quently come to the surface in a
most startling fashion.
Born in Red River county, Texas
some distance from where he now
lives and where he has been elect
ed to Congress for the past 30
years, Gamer grew up in a section
where Negroes outnumbered whit
es five to one. His playmates
were colored boys, one of whom,
Rube, still lives and counts the vice
president his best friend.
Moscow, July 12 (CNA)—Three
drunken hoodlum* who invaded a
village church near Moscow on
Easter Eve were handed prison
sentences thia week by a Soviet
court.
World Negro Par
lev in London
■ t/
London, July 16—(Special to
ON A)—A conference on “African
peoples, Democracy and Peace,”
was scheduled to take place there
on the week end of July 7 to 9.
Organized cnder the auspices of

Association, tihe conference will
discuss the positions of the Afri
can peeples and the people of
