CHEST GOAL
The goal of the 18t'n annual O
maha Community Chest campaign
scheduled for. October 15th to 24th
Inclusive will be $544,504.00, ac
cording to H. W. Pierpont, Presi
dent of the Chest. This amount

not represent by any means the
total which the agencies request
ed orco uld use to a good advant
age—it is a “minimum budget ’.
The budget was established fol
lowing a meeting of the Budget
Committee headed by Casper Y.
Offutt of the Board of Governors
of the Chest last week. Mr- Of
futt said that the amount of the
budget was established only after
two months of personal study of
each agency budget by all mem
bers of his committee. The Bud
get Committee is composed, in ad
dition to Offutt, of Max Miller, E.
J. Connors, Mrs. C. W. Hamilton,
M. L. Shawcross, Francis P. Mat
thews, W. H. Smails, W. L- Pier
pont and H. W. Pierpont.
The campaign for the thirty a
gencies of the Chest will be held
October 15th to 24th, with Will R.
Johnson as the General Chairman.

WHITE MAN BEATS
NEGRO TO DEATH;
LOSES JOB
Memphis, Aug. 22 (ANP) With
evidence developed, indicating thet
Roger Richardson, Shelby County
Penal Farm inmate, died last week
from a beating at the hands of a
guard rather than the heat as Was
alleged by prison officials, Chief
of Police Oliver Perry assigned 2
deputy sheriffs to investigate the
case. The dismissal of a gang
foreman, P. O. Morrow, and a
guard, L. G. Wilson, followed
closely Richardson’s death. This
action, according to County Com
missioner 0. . Ellis, was taken not
because of Richardson’s d tath,
however, but because the circum
stances were incorrectly reported.
The action of Chief Perry im
scheduling tyfo deputies to the case
came after a prisoner wrote him,
declaring Richardson’s death to be
the direct result of a beating by
a guard, who is said to have
struck him three times after he,
apparently overcome by the heat,
had fallen to the floor.
County Commissioner Ellis, in
reporting the case, said that Rich
ardson refused to return to work
Wednesday morning after a rest
peiod, and appeared dazed by the
heat. Wilson ordered, him hack
to work and a scuffle followed,
bringing to the scene another
guard, Coleman, who slapped Ric
hardson down. It was then that
Wilson allegedly struck the pris
oner several times. Removed to
the Penal Farm from Cap'eville
where the gang was working,
Richardson died almost immediate
ly. He was working out a $25
fine for drunkeness

Edgar Brown Wants To
Rescue Elks From Wilson
and Republicans
Washington, Aug. 22 (ANP> —
Edgar G. Brown, president of the
United Govtmment employes and
advisor for the CCC on Negro af
foirs, announced this week that he
was definitely in the running lor
the position of grand exalted rul
er of the Elks, opposing J. Finley
Wilson who has had this job for a
number of years.
Mr. Brown declares that his
platform will be: “A New Deal
for Forgotten Bills'' and has been
promised, he says, the support of
westerners, who express themsel
ves as not being willing to have
Wplson, Howard and Hueston con
sign the lodge to the Republican
party as these men committed
themselves in Philadelphia.
Prominent Democrats in the
Midvfest have pledged their sup
port to Brown and in selecting
him as their candidate, they felt
they had chosen a man who would
carry the fight to Wilson in a new
way and break down his former
steam roller methods of operation,
according to information. ?
Serious op^position to Wilson has
already developed in his own camp
with several Eastern adherents de
claring themselves through with
the metods used by the Little Nap
oleon in conducting the business
of the order.
