“NEGROES VS. HITLERISM"
TO BE SUBJECT OF FFF
CONFERENCE
Plans for a nation-wide confer
ence of Negroes to combat the
menace of Hitlerism were ann
o j ced today by Edward Wore,
executive secretary of the Harlj l
Division of the Fight for Freedom
Commitee. The conference will
be held in Washington on January
8 and 9.
‘ Every N 'gro is aware of the
serious situation concerning the
welfare of our country today,”
Mr. White said in explaining the
purpose of tne meeting. ‘‘Al
though conditions grow more a
cute each day, there is still consid
erable speculation as to the at i
tude of the American Negro; that
is. we just d( r’t seem to have any
attitude on the question of Hitle •
ism.
“The intelligent Negro hates
fascism, because he has experienc
ed so much of it. This is so true
that we have treated it as some
thing that goes without saying
and have concentrated all our ef
fort on what we consider the more
pressing problem.. ..that of
knocking out Hitlerism at home.
“But the defeat of France
should teach us something. While
we must continue the fight for our
domestic rights, we must recog
nize that with Hitler victorious
there is no future for the Negro
here or anywhere else. We can
not afford the luxury of indiffer
ence. Hitler hates us more than
the Russians or the British or the
Jews. We have no place in his so
called New Order.
“Negro are determined that Hit
ler and all other brands of fascism
must be destroyed. The purpose
of this conference is to give sun
stance to this conviction and to
put our words into action.”
Mr. White reported that dele
gates from churches, fraternal or
ganizations, labor groups, and
press associations are expected to
attend.

December the month every one
! has practically lived for is here.
I Celebrations of the Birth of
Christ.... Exchanging of gifts
Santa Claus.... Christmas part
ies-dinners-Visiting and Va
cationing.... and many Studds
will celebrate in the joints...
But let’s look back at Novem
ber and review Thanksgiving day.
The Grant Street Drug store
was as full as the Cats and Chios
were.
Jeff, the soda boy, was off duty
.. they say he antroed up to his
girl friends house with an invita
tion to dinner after which they
I took in a movie.
The Alstons in South Omaha,
Nebraska had a gang.. quite a
gang at their party Thanksgiving
night.. The music was fine and
j the crowd was jumpin’.
Raymond Moore at 25th and
Binney Street had a fine party. A
mong the hep-cats was Manual
Johnson, who was doing the square
dance with Naomi Downs. Fran
ces Jefferson was looking very
fine.... Poochie Mease was also
cornin’ on fine_.a great num
ber of other hepped Cats were on
deck at the fine party.
Woodrow Allen came up frori
KC. and spent the day lunching;
the Thanksgiving Day at his girl
friends house. He was drapped to
a solid lick!
Henry “Skin” Davis found out
the real fact that liquor and Gas
oline did not mix (at least he
should of).
Gazing at the Studd from KC.
We can see that he’s drapped,
he dances, he sings, he jives, and
from what we have heard, he re
cently entertained in Ernie Fields
orchestra. Well known in Kansas
City for his quick jive answers..
his name is William Hawkins, who
is here, looking this Dull city over
to find the lively spots.
Well hipped man No. 1, Mr.
Leroy Broomfield is back again.
We spotted him at the dance with
the fine chic, W. W. Knock your
self out kid!
The Girls on the Streets want
to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Rich
ard Rice who recently were wed
ded in Holy matrimony.
James Calhoun is obsessed by a
desire to luv. He was asking a
bout one of his old flames.
CONFESSIN’ THE BLUES
-mmim » . js
JAY McSHANN
Jay McShann, who will bring
his famous orchestra to the
Dreamland, Monday, Dec. 8th.
Featured vocalist is Walter
Brown, whose “Confessin’ The
Blues”, has sold 81,000 records
a new high for a Race Band.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! is al
most as funny as the Santa Claus
down Town laughing. J. Booth
walked two miles to get two ten
cents tickets from two girls.
Willie McBride should be called
‘‘Jive Man” because she sho got
the jive.
Boy Floyd has finally decided
that dancing without them is bet
ter than dancing with them. (His
shoes) you think he didn’t?)
Reviewing the stomp Wednes
day night. Lloyd Hunter really
did play. The Rabbitt came in
from the midnight about 2:30 and
sanged up a Breeze and did those
jitterbugs rock on. The Chattan
ooga Choo Choo_and Anna Mae
Winburn, knocked everyone out
on... .Ginn.
Mr. John Fontane really is an
ideal athlete_he has made
quite a name for himself and his
race at South High. Keep the
wheels rollin Johnny! You’re doing
fine! %
Don’t forget Jay McShane, Mon
day night, Dec. 8—Dreamland
hall.
That’s all this week!. .Your..
Girls on the Streets!
The All
Seeing
EYES.”
Well after a weeks’ absence we
bring to you just a little of the
chatter along chocolate avenue.
CLUB NEWS:
The Sub Deb club visited radio
station KOIL Friday afternoon.
Those that went were Rozelia
Thomas, Helen Bradley, Nancy
Bryant, Venita Hall, Dorothy
Woods, Bertha Davis, lone Upch
er.
The Gross Eickes had a lovely
Vesper Service and a timely pro
gram.
Thanksgiving
Well we all scoffed lavishly at
Thanksgiving and from the looks
of couples each had something to
be thankful for. Betty Shepherd
was thankful that she still was
wih Roy. David Hughes was
thankful for Rozelia Thomas. We
all had something to be thankful
for.
Slambooks:
Slambooks are nice to read and
write in, but we should refiaih.
from writing such mean things. I
read a few very bad things writ
ten in slambooks about people. I
read in one where they called a
Chick Haggy Lamarr. We admit
this Chick is frone, but if you
can't write good things or suggest
helpful improvements then don’t
write anything.
QUESTION:
What is the meaning of a green
eyed monster? There is not a
Negro in Omaha with green eyes.
■mbmbwmmwmim
-I wish to correct a statement that
y
was printed in this paper last
week. The “Green eyed monst
er” has not arrived early in the
Ft. T. and D. H. love affair. Roz
ella does not and never has timed
David Hughes’ speeches with oth
er chics. I just wanted to set you
folks right on the misrepresent-,
ation of Rozella Thomas. Rozella
is not a jealous person of David
or anyone else.
FASHION PARADE:
Miss Lydia McCraty looked
very fine in her red form .fitting
dress.
Miss Estelle McCraty was strict
ly on as she strolled down Har
lem in a red form fitting dress..
she wore gold costume jewelry.
Congratulations:
To Miss Charlotte Ellis and to
Jimmy Allen.
THANK YOU:
This is to other columnists. I
read in your column last week a
short paragraph that was for me
personally. You told the Cyclops
not to make too many comments
on what you write. You said I
might get stuck. My dears I get
the point, and thank you for your
untimely advice.

THANKSGIVING HOMECOMING
Last night was Thanksgiving
night in Jackson, Mississippi and
the crowd that packed and jam
med the Crystal Palace Ballroom
acted as though they were also
thankful that the ‘Swinging Raya
of Rhythm” had returned to Mis
sissippi after an absence of six
months.
The dance was advertised as
‘Thanksgiving and Homecoming”
for this popular co-ed band of girls
from the Piney Woods School, Pi
ney Woods, Mississippi.
The youth, the music and the
pep of this world’s greatest all
girl dance band is amazing on the
on-lookers and thrilling to the i
dancers.
Many of 'the crowd had heard of
the loss by fire of the South’s most
beautiful ballroom El Dorado in
Huston, Texas and also that the
‘‘Swinging Rays” had recently fill
ed it to overflowing and one could
hear this expression in the crowd
i nudifferent forms:
‘‘If these “Swingring Rays” were
as hot in Huston and played this
torrent jazz that they are beating
out here tonight i must have hung
in he air and caused spontaneous
combustion after they were gone ’.<
The band consists of 17 high
school and junior college girls; a
saxophone sextet; a brass sextet;
and a Rhythm quartet.
