was launched here this week by
the local branch of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People.
The action, according to Carl R.
Johnson, president of the branch,
was taken following the discovery
of a deliberate plan hatched eith
er by the Standard Milling Com
pany or its subsidiaries, to ex
clude Negroes and| foreign born
citizen^ "in the greater Kansas
City Market," from the benefits
of a sales campaign for "Presto”
flour.
In a letter to tihe Chicago flour
concern dated November 11, Mr
Johnson said:
"It has come to the attention
of the local branch of the NA.
ACCP. that a large number of
grocery merchants in this city
lhandling your produces receiv
ed a bulletin dated October 28
either from the Associated Gro
ceries, Inc.( or from your distri
butors in the Kansas City area
in which there was material
with reference tot the sales of
Presto cake flour. Appearing
on page six of said bulletin,
number 628 is the following par
agraph:
“ ‘A coupon Worth ten cents
in purchase of a package of
Presto will be distributed to
each of 80,000 homes in the
greater Kansag City market, e_
iliminating only Negretes and
foreign born.’ ”
Pending action on the part of the
cotnpany, the letter said: "As a
protest against this discriminat
ion we have asked Negroes in gen
eral to discontinue the use of Pres
to cake flour, Aristos or any of
the products manufactured by
your comapiiy.

BUY YOUR CHRISTMAS SEALS EARLY!
The thirty-fourth annual Christm% Seal Campaign of the Ne
braska Tuberculosis Asociation begins November 25 to raise funds to
continue tfhe fight against tuberculosis in Nebraska. The annual drive
continues through Christmas.
Ninety-five percent of the Christm% Seal funds raised in Ne
braska remains in the state to maintain the active health program of
the Nebraska Tuberculosis Association. Five percent of the funds goes
to the national association for educational and research work.
Almost 200 chairmen( many of them county superintendents,
will conduct the Christmas Seal sale through the rural communities.
Rural school children in Nebraska will play an important part in the
Christmas Seal campaign, acting as messengers of health bearing
Christmas Sea^ to families in their communities.
The drive is of great importance to every man, woman and child
in Nebraska. Every citizen in the state should feel grateful for the
work being done to eradicate tuberculosis—a communicable disease
that is preventable and curable. No home is safe from tuberculosis
until all homes are safe.
This year’s Christmas Seal depicts three children singing songs
of the season. This picture is especially appropriate, since tubercul
osife is still the leading cause of death in this country between the ages
of 15 and 45, the most productive period of life
Tho Nebraska Tuberculosis Association hopes to> continue the
fine work being done to eradicate the white plague from this state.
Generous purchases of Christmas Sea^ will make this possible. Buy
and use Christmas Seals!
SUPREME COURT RULING IN CHICAGO CASE
(Continued from page One)
was invalid because the required number of property owners had not
signed it.
This means, in effect^ that the restrictive provisions of the
covenant cannot Ibe enforced and Negroes may move into thig area if
they are able to purchase property there. At the same time, any
other restrictive covenant case must be decided on its specific merits
and not by earlier decision or precedents.
According to Gibson, ‘ The action of the United States supreme
court in reversing the decision of the Illinois supreme court upholding
restrictive covenants is further evidence of increasing recognition be
ing given Negroes in their fight for a full measure of citizenship.
The decision is particularly significant because, first—it is the only
favorable decision in a caae involving restrictive ceovnants ever hand
ed down by the highest court, and next, and perhaps most important,
it is the first decision involving social rights of Negroes that has been
presented to the new court, which, by ist actionj reversed a trend
that has continued unchecked since the civil righs case, which took all
the meaning out of the 14th amendment, insofar as Negroes were af
fected thereby.
“Until the Hansberry case, moist of the cases that were present
ed to the supreme court involved the right to freedom from physical
violence. Obviously, it is as much to the interest of white persons as
Negroes that communities not be torn by physical strife.
“When the court was called on in the Hansberrp case to hand
dowfi a decision opening up 500 or more new homes to Negroes in
Chicago, it was presented with a question that preeeeding courts had
consistently shied away from. The action of the cour in reversing
the case meant a complete victory for the defendant and a recognition
(by the court of the right of Negroes as ciizens to live.
"The court was not required in the Hansberry case to pass on
the constitutionality of covenants generally, as that matter) was not
necessary to the decision even though the point was raised in the de
fendant’s briefs and argued vigorously. Since lawsuits are tried on
specific issues, and since the issue of constitutionality was not neces
sary to the decision( that matter mus be left to a later action, where
the facts will raise the specific question.”

vance of t)he time of classification
are merely complicating the work
of the local boards without serv
ice to interested parties.
When the time comes for class
ification of a registrant, he, his
employers, and his dependents will
be given every opportunity toi
substantiate deferment claims, the
Director said. Any information
concerning the registrant sub
mitted now to his local board
wihich alone has power to defer
him, and prior to his receiving the
questionnaire probably would be
added.
Mr. Dykstra said that many
large corporations had requested
quantities of special Selective Ser
vice forms on which dependents
and other interested parties may
reqeuest deferment of registrants
apparently with the intention of
filling out the forms in prepara
tion for such time a$ their em
ployees might be due for classific
ation by local boards
‘‘Such procedure, in all probab
ility, will be a waste of effort on
the part of eveityone concerned and
most certainly would intpo3e a
useless burden upon tihe local
boards if they were deluged with
these requests in advance of the
time for the classification of par
ticular registrants” Mg. Dykstra
said.
Employers in doubt as to the
likelihood of? their employees be
ing called for Selective Service
training should consult the state
advisoi*s on occupational deferm
ents now at work in Selective Ser
vice Headquarters in every state,
Director Dykstra suggested.
