Condemns Mob Violence— Washington, D. C., —Sept. 13—Wendell Willkie, Republican nominee for the Presidency, climaxed his epoch-making visit to Chicago today with a smashing attack upon the New Deal Jim Crow created jobs for Negrcfes, which he said, “must go”; declared his phil osophy of complete tolerance for all races, and ripped into New Deal handling of relief as it affects colored people. “The New Deal,” he said, “has cume to re gard relief as a sort of Negro reservation where these people can be kept away from the ordinary eco nomic life of the country,” and pointed out that a study has indicated flagrant New Deal discriminat ion against colored applicants in relief administra tion. “In! WPA”, he said, “whites have usually rec eived $16.80 a week, while colored persons doing the same wdrk received only $10.50.” More than 15,000 people, on Chicago’s famous South Side, greeted the nominee, and enthusiastical ly applauded rlearly every sentence as he drojve home sledge-hammer condemnations iof New* Deal hypo cricies and exploitations.

MRS. ROOSEVELT ADDRESSES PULLMAN PORTERS IN N. Y. AUTUMN (by William Henry Huff for ANP The leaves once green Arfl taking on A lovely golden hue; How bright the scene And rich the tone W'hen sprinkled With the dew. ‘ This market should be more great ly intedested and more readily re sponsive to our advertising appeals than are those outside Nebraska whom We are reaching by adver tisements in national magazinesi and business journals. It is to the best interests of every Nebraskan to give preference to the products of the state. ‘‘We are not advocating boycott of products from outside the 'ate in railing attention of Nebraskms to the merits of our state’s o-od ucts and asking them to ‘Buy Ne braska,’ ’* Mr. Neville explained. “When our own products are of equal or better quality and as low or lower in price, it is just com non sense for Nebraskans to use hem. That will build business and i* ci'ease employment and )>ayrolls :n Nebraska and bring measure of prosperity to "V'try resident.” The “Buy Nebraska” campaign, launched this week with advertise ments in Nebraska”s newspapers and announcements over all radio stations of the gtatef will call at tention to the unexcelled qualities of various Nebraska products such as apples, potatoes, canned fruits and vegetables. Nebraska wheat and bet sugar, which are being ad vertised nationally, also will be ad vertised wiithin the state by distrib uting reprints of the national adv ertisements to wholesale and re tail distributors. Nebraska manufactureds, whole salers and retailers will cooperate by tying in with the ‘‘Buy Nebras ka” campaign with their advertis ing and sales promotion.

C. It is to be constructed under a $450,000 PWA grant. The design was approved by the National Commission of Fine Arts at its fall meeting on September 10. President Franklin D. Roosevelt will deliver the cere monial address at the ground breaking exercises on Thu; sday afternoon, September 26 at 4 O’ clock. [I New Yorki Sept, 26 (by John H.

It is only lately we have realized how much culture of the country has come from the minority groups of the United States.
