Commander Peebles Protests Foster May’s Racial Broadcast Over Radio
LETTER TO EDITOR OF *
WORLDHERALD
June 12, 1941
Mr. George Grimes,
Managing Editor World Herald
Mr. Dear Mr- Grimes:
I am addressing this to you per
sonally because I am greatly ap
preciative of your attitude to the
group I represent, and Roosevelt
Post American Legion.
Always reflecting the tolerant
friendly and sympathetic spirit of
the late Herby Newlande, you
have brought courage and hope to
all the colored people of Omaha,
and the State of Nebraska. For
all of this we are duly grateful.
In last night’s news broadcast
Foster May went far out of his
way by constant repetition to fo
cus attention to an unfortunate
situation wherein a Negro was in
volved.
During critical times like those
wherein the safety of our coun
try is vitally involved, when the
nerves of the whole people is
tense and uncertain, and the col
ored people stand still as always
loyally and usefully behind our
government, Roosevelt Post No
30 American Legion protests to
you strenuously against this act
of sedition Which could very easily
cause serious trouble to an imm
inent and loyal group in your
midst.
Roosevelt Post urgently re
quests that you call this matter
to the project officials that a rep
etition of a like instance shall not
occur again.
Thanking you personally for
past favors,
I am respectfully yours,
Dr. W. W. Peebles,
Commander Roosevelt Post
No. 30, American Legion.
This by order of the Post

RULER OF A MILLION
J. FINLEY WILSON GRAND
EXALTED RULER OF A
MILLION ELKS
J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted
Ruler, in one of his characteristic
poses while reading the Omaha
Guide platform which hangs on
the wjall of the Omaha Guide of
fice which was written by C. C.
Galloway, one of the co-founders
of the Omaha Guide, in 1926.
The seven National points of the
platform seemingly interested Mr.
Wilson very much, two in partic
ular, No- 1, “Fight for the pass
age of the Dyer and NAACP. Anti
Lynch Bill,” Mr. Wilson expressed
the opinion that it had gone be
yond the Dyer and NAACP. Anti
Lynch Bill, and had become the
American Anti-Lynch Bill. No. 7
the last paragraph of which reads:
‘If the Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of man are not weld
ed into the hearts of this world’s
family now, by teaching the prin
ciples laid down by our Saviour,
it will be welded into the hearts
of our children someday on the
bloodiest battlefield the world has
ever knowh.”
Mr. Galloway extended an in
vitation to Mr. Wilson to come
back to Omaha at the end of the
Omaha Guide’s $300.00 Scholar
ships Campaign, and crown the
winner as Miss Omaha Guide. This
invitation was accepted by Mr.
Wilson if it did not interfere with
his itir.ery.
Waiters are very fortunate in
having Mr. E. G. Scott in their
organization as he is the man for
the job and is always attending
to business and believes in every
one having a square deal, and all
cases being thoroughly investi
gated
*****
Mr- Berry, the locker-room man
is making good at the Highland
club, and with his past experience
of good service. He is the right
man for the place. We all hope
for him, good success.
*****
All the workers in he drive
for funds for the Urban League
had good support and we shall al
ways think kindly of them for
their earnest efforts to raise the
required amount as it was making
history for the colored race. Sub

it is the leading Colored Paper

THE IMPORTANCE OF WARM
MEALS IN SUMMER
The importance of warm meals
and meat in the summer diet is
being emphasized by the Metrop
olitan Utilities District Home Ser
vice Department during the warm
months, in cooperation with the A
merican Meat Institute, Omaha
Packing concerns, and Omaha food
stores.
The Utilities District's adver
tisements in Omaha weekly and
foreign language papers will fea
ture meat in the July issues. Daily
newspaper advertising, radio and
street car cards will also be used.
Omaha’s major packing concerns
will install special displays dur
ing July at the Metropolitan Dis
trict’s downtown offices, 18th and
Harney. Packing firm installing
displays are Wilson and Company,
Armour and Company, Cudahy
Packing Company and Swift and
Company.
Theme of the campaign is “For
your summer menu: At least one
warm meal a day - - with MEAT?”
Mrs- Alta Weymuller, home ser
vice director of the Utlities Dist
rict says: “Lots of people still
think meat is hard to digest, that
it isn’t a goCd summer food. This
is a false impression. Meat is one
of the most completely digestable
foods, and should be cooked and
served freely during the summer
• • • • at least once a day. Roasts,
broiled meats, and boiled meats
are particularly suitable for sum
mer meals, and can be prepared
comfortably on the modern, insul
ated gas ranges. Meats are part
icularly valuable in summer for
their high protein, mineral and
vitamin content and easy digesti
bility.”
HESS’ FLIGHT SENSATION
OF WAR
The senastional flight of Rud
olf Hess, personal deputy to Ad
olphe Hitler and No. 3 leader of
the German Reich, has been the
outstanding development in the
war thus far England has gained a
phenomenal psychological victory
while Germany’s repercussions
have been a large number of ar
rests of Hess' associates. The 850
mile flight, outlined with only a
blue pencil and landing within a
mile of his destination, is proof
of Hess’ remarkable ability as a
pilot
