RICHARD WRIGHT WRITES
NEW EPIC ON THE NEGRO
New York, (C) Abandoning the
novel as a medium, of getting a
cross his plea for better treatment
of the Negro, Richard Wright,
winner of the 1940 Spingarn Med
al and author of the stirring story
“Native Son”, has writen with fire
and passion a narrative of the Ne
gro in America, appropriately
titles, “Twelve Million Black Voic
es.” In 152 pages, Wright tells
how “the Negro cried for joy when
he was made free, and then learn
ed better; of how he fled the cot
ton fields for the beckoning oppor
tunity of the big city, and then
learned better. It says very sim
ply that this kind of education
can not go on indefinitely, that
this country can not exist half
slave ad half free-”

CROWDED CHURCH HEARS
RANDOLPH REPORT ON
WASHINGTON MARCH
NEW YORK, Aug. 13 (By Ern
est E. Johnson for ANP)—Three
thousand persons crowded into
Salem M.E. church here Tuesday
night to hear A, Philip Randolph,
Mayor FioreUa H. LaGuardia, Da
vid Samoff and other personages
identified with the circumstances
surrounding the executive order
issued by President Roosevelt bar
ring discrimination in the nation
al defense program. The occasion,
also marked the first public report
from the Negro March on Wash
ington committee since its nation
al director, Mr. Randolph, told a
nation-wide radio audience on
July 1 that the projected march
had been found “unnecessary at
this time” and therefore post,
poned.
No attempt was made to evade
the fact that considerable criti
cism had be®n levelled at the
march committee for its decision
bo call off the demonstration. In
fact, the meeting was intended to
give full explanation of the fac
tors involved which prompted this
momentous decision. Mr. Ran
dolph, in a clear and forthright
manner, succeeded in doing just
that.
However, the remarks of Mayor
LaGuardia .described by all pre
vious speakers as the ‘ unrelent
ing champion in favor of the exe
cutive order,” along with the
committee, were no doubt the cli
max of the evening.
“I am glad to be called upon
to join in the discussion,” he open
ed, “of what is a real landmark
in the progress of democracy. I
believe the executive order signed
by President Roosevelt will ie
main on of the important public
documents in our history, and the
man who signed it will take his
place among the true champions
of liberty and true democracy.
It may not be a literary gem,
he continued. “Its meter might be
defective in its poetry, but I am
in a position to tell you that the
man who signed it believed in it,
in every line of it, in every word
of every sentence of it.”
He minced no words in lauding
members of the March on Wash
ington committee for their s;n
cerity in tackling a problem
which had become “a public scan
dal against minority groups.”
Turning his attention to the
members of the <air Employment
Practice committee, named under
the order, the fiery little Mayor
said: “This board may be a suc
cess for a time—and it will be.
But what is imporant is that I
w<ant it to be a success for aU
time. It will have the opportunity
to demonstrate to the entire coun
try w hat the Negroes of America
have produced in the last gener
ation. No group nor race has
made as much progress in 70
years as the Negro. You have ac
complished and you have produced
men and women in the sciences,
arts, industries, and professions
and athletics that has taken other
races generations to produce.”
Considered of paramount impor
tance was the admonition of the
speaker, also civilian defense ad
ministrator, to guard against
claims of discrimination by in
dustry to cover up ‘‘incompetency,
dishonest and immorality.” While
this remark met with wide ap
probation and had its proper rela
tion to the subject under discus
sion, many were quick to see the
mayor making an indirect defense
of his order suspending a Negro
city employee on a charge of al
leged “moral turpitude.”
Mr. Randolph also reviewed the
circumstances leading to the ide*a
of the march pointing to the need
for the development of “the tech
nique of mass pressure,” a thing
new to the Negro. He scored the
‘‘dreadul conspiracy of silence” on
the part of the white press with
one exception, that of ‘‘P.M.”
There was praise for the efforts
of Mayor DaGuardia and disdain
or William S. Knudsen, co-direc
tor of Office of Production Man
agement.
Coming to the controversial
point* he said: “Simply stated,
the march was postponed because
jits main objective, namely the
issuance o an executive order ban

MARYLAND TEACHERS
CONTRIBUTE $125 TO NAACP
FUND
Baltimore, Md.,—From the Cal
vert County Educational Associa
tion, an organization of teachers
in Calvert County, Md., the NAA
CP received last week a check for
$1255 to be placed in its educat
ional fund.
The check was sent by the tea
chers in appreciation for the NA
ACP’s battle to equalize salaries
in states where differentials exist.
The fight has been especially suc
cessful in Maryland, where as a
result of NAACP action in their
behalf, teachers have gained an
n"°llv more than half a million
. dollars in income.
*
uing discrimination in national
defense- was secured in confer
ence with the President.
“What about discrimination in
the departments «xf the federal
government? This was one of our
objectives. While it was one of
our objefctbts. it was noti our
main objective. We consider that
it is more important to get jobs
for Negroes in national defense,
so that they may get milk and
bread for their babies than to get
them in the arrry or navy or air
corps, althought we shall contin
ue to fight to abolish discrimin
ations in ail departments of the
government and the armed forces
of the natbu. This will be the
next stop in the fight of the
march committee movement.
‘‘The National Negro March on
Washington Committee would
have been placed in an untenable
absurd and ridiculous position had
it rejected its chief objective when
offered by the President on the
grounds that we didn’t get every
thing we wanted as a pretext for
marching anyhow
“I want to make it clear “that
the purpose of the march on
Washington movement was not to
serve as an agency to create a
continuing state of sulle unro3t
and blind resentment among Ne
groes against discriminations. Its
purpose was and is to achieve a
specific and definite thing, name
ly. elimination of barriers to jobs
for Negroes.”
Declaring that the march com
mittee will be retained and ex
panded, the national director in
stirring and dramatic fashion so
typical of him, let it be known
that “we w<ant one million Ne
groes organized in these commit
tees to make a power that must
be reckoned with.”
Bessye Bearden, a deputy coll-1
ector of internal revenue and lead
er in women’s organizations,
pledged the continued suppoi-t of
Negro women. Mrs, Bearden, act
ive in eastern democratic political
circles, was one of the few such
persons willing to take a hand in
the march on Washington when
politicians everywhere were drop
ping it like a hot poker.
Lester Granger of the National
Urban League, Walter White of
the NAACP, Dr, Channing H. To
bias of the Selective Service Ad
ministration, and Frank P, Cross
waith of the Negro Labor Comm
ittee, all active members of the
march committee, made short ad
dresses. In the place of Mark
Ethridge, chairman of the Fair
Employment Practice committee,
was David Sarnoff also a member
and also president of the Radio
Corporation of America, who
spoke in behalf of the committee,
Mr, Sarnoff said that to date
the committee had done little
worth reporting on, but did ann
ounce that the administrative per
sonnel would probably be selected
at Monday’s meeting of the com
mittee following which active work
will begin.
Dr, Warren Brown, secretary to
the march committee, delivered a
report on the finances for the en
tire venture, The general funds,
he said, came from the sale of but
tons and contributions by individ
uals and organizations. Of the
total receipts of $2,992.26, a total
of $900 was realized on the buttons
the balance coming from the or
ganizations, chief contribution be
ing the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters with $957.89, the NA
ACP with $543 and various civic
religious and professional organi
zations with substantial amounts.
Expenditures amounted to $2,297.
04. The balance was used up to
defray the costs of the public
fleeting at which $107.21 was col
lected.

IMPORTANT FACTS OF NEGRO
HISTORY
The Moors, descendants of the Ancient Af
| rican Berbers, conquered Spain and remained
there for nearly eight hundred years. Surviv
ing many wars, the old Sultans palace, The Ala
hambra, still stands in a reasonably good state
of preservation.
At the time of the Moorish Occupation of
Spain, the socalled “Dark Age” was upon the
world by reason of the invasion of the large and
ferocious blonde Barbarians from the North.
They laid Rome waste and destroyed all evi
dence of learning and religion incompatible
with their pagan faith.
But in Spain, the Moors bore the torch of
learning aloft and saved mankind the link be
tween the ancient and the modern world. Pro
pagandists who pass for historians call these
very black Negroes white people. Thousands of
American Negroes are descendants of the
Moors.
“THE EXPULSION OF THE MOORS
FROM SPAIN” by Richard T. Greener.
when the suggestion was made by
Col. Howard G- Gilbedt, that a
concert be held once or twice a
week, Warrant Officer Raymond
Sheldon and the boys were ready.
Due to the fact that most of the
men in the regiment were under
going traiinng, all arrangements
which included the building of a
bandstand, had to be taken care of
by members of the band
The concerts are to be held Thur
sday and Sunday evenings and if
the practice sessions are an indi
cation of what is to be served, 0De
will have a full course dinner.
Selections from famous operas,
military marches, played in the
Sousa manned, and moderate mel
odies will fill the air.
Both in peace and in war this
unit has won honors in the field.
Wai’rent Officer Sheldon led a
Boston band in the Worlod War
and the current crop of men have
been wfith him from two to 20
years. They have ad the distinc
tion of playing at many state func
tions including the gubernatorial
inaugurations.
When they first arrived, the
band was at regulation strength,
but while in camp they will be al
lowed 20 more men on detached
service. The new men will be
drawn from the ranks of those
who have recently been transfen*
ed from the replacement center at
Camp Croft, S. C
During their jam sessions the
boys arranged words and nusic
for two hot numbers, ‘‘Beano” and
“I’ve Got the Furlough B11 *s”,
which have taken the airw»rs 1 y
storm.
