WITNESSES ADMIT ONLY RI I.E FOR VOTING IN TEXAS DEMO CRATIC PRIMARY IS TO BE WHITE (Continued from Daee 1) at the trial of the famed Texas ‘‘white primary” case Saturday, Apr. 25. These admissions and other testimony at the trial, along with the statutes of Texas, led to predic tions among authorities in constitu tional law that Negroes in Texas will soon have the right to vote. One of the election judges being sued by Dr. Lonnie E. Smith of this city, for refusing him a ballot in the Democratic primary, July, 1940, ad mitted a white prospective voter was never questioned about what party he belonged to. As a matter of fact, he revealed, white Demo OMAHA OUTFITTING Furnish Your Entire House hold at the ‘Omaha Outfitting They carry Furniture, Washing Machines, Radios, Travelling Bags, Jewelry and All Kinds of Coal. 2122 North 24th St. Phone AT. 5652 -.-.... - ; We Offer for Your Approval A Complete Curtain Service and Another thing,— Have Your Dry Cleaning Done Now! —Cash and Carry Discounts— EDH0LM&SHERMAN 2401 North 24th Street WE. 6055 %>0 <o ^ t U • » ATTENTION PLEASE... all Water and Gas Users You can help us conserve rubber on our service trucks by making requests ior all types oi service 48 hours in advance of need. The critical rubber shortage due to the war has made it necessary ior your gas and water departments to ask your co-operation in reducing our truck mileage to an absolute minimum. Since May 1st all calls for gas or water service received up to noon each day are being handled some time the following day. Calls re ceived after noon are being taken care of the second day following. The new practice, requested and approved by the tire rationing board, covers all types of gas and water service calls: (1) Service and appliance ad justments; (2) "Turn off" orders for gas and water; (3) "Turn on" orders for gas and water. By grouping service calls in different parts of the city, we can, with the help of our customers, cut tire use considerably. In the great majority of Instances the delay in answering service calls should cause no great inconvenience. This new service schedule was effected at the request of the tire rationing board, which has or dered that rubber be conserved in every possible way. We understand from the rationing board that the supply of rubber even for the most essential uses w 1 be far below requirements, and that unless the most rigid curtailments are put into effect now, serious interruption of essential services will come later. By these changes in service practices, the district hopes to be able to maintain actual essential service calls for gas and water users under the difficult conditions of the future. crats, Socialists, Communists and Independents could vote in the De mocratic primary so long as they were white. No Negroes, regardless of their qualifications, were allowed to vote. Dr. Smith’s suit against E. S. Allwright and James J. Luizza, el ection Judges, was filed here Novem ber 15, 1941. The defendants have claimed that the Democratic prim ary elections in Texas were party elections and therefore not subject to federal or state control. Thurgood Marshall, NAACP spec ial cunsel, who has Just returned to New York from Houston, said that testimony brought out that the De mocratic party here has but few characteristics of a closed organiz ation. It has no constitution, no by-laws, no rules, save statutes of Texas, no membership rolls, and no method for becoming a member, ex cept by considering oneself one. Butcher and Germany also stated that Democratic party elections were run in accordance with the statutes of Texas. Mr. Marshall, counsel for Dr. Smith, point ed out in his argument before the court that under the facts and law, this case is almost identic al with that of U. S. vs. Classic, in which the U. S. Supreme Court held that the primary election in Louis iana was an integral part of the el ection machinery of the state and therefore subject to federal control. Mr. Marshall was assisted by At torney W. J. Durham of Sherman, Texas. The NAACP attorney submitted briefs in which were included tabl es giving the results of elections in Texas from 1859 to 1940, showing that with two minor exceptions, De mocratic candidates for public of fice had always been elected in the state- Other tables showed the sim ilarity between election statutes of Louisiana and those of Texas and between the primary election laws and the general election laws of Texas. After argument Judge T. M. Ken nerly of the TJ. S. district court took the case under advisement. NAACP WANTS NEGROES ON RATIONING BOARDS New York... .Negroes should be placed on local rationing boards, and should be considered for em ployment as paid executive secre taries of the boards, the NAA<7P suggested to Leon Henderson ad ministrator of the Office of Price Administration in a letter May 1. The NAACP said that it under stands the rationing system will provide for local boards of three or fjve persons from each 25.000 pop ulation, members of which will serve without pay. To these the NAACP urged the appointment of Negroes, “perhaps in proportion to population ratio in various comm unities.” The NAACP also said that it has learned that the plan is for each board to have a paid executive sec retary. It urged that Negroes be considered for these positions and mentioned the precedent set by the Selective Service Act. Hnderson was also told that freez ing prices at March levels in cer tain sections of communities where prices are very high would work hardships on colored Americans and other disadvantaged groups by forc ing them to carry a heavier burden due to lower average income, discrim ination in employment and the nec essity of paying the same tax os others more advantaged, RULE THAT NEGRO MUST BE 87 TO VOTE MAY BE CHANGED IN SOUTH CAROLINA Columbia, S. C.—After all the names of Negroes who had regist ered to vote in the Democratic pri mary here were purged from the lists because of the rule that they must have voted the Democratic ticket continuously for 66 years, a large delegation of aroused citizens, led by the local NAACP, succeeded in getting the city board of elect ions to ask the convention of the state Democratic committee to con LIGHTENS TANNED Cl#I M DARK dlLI lx Lightens tanned dark .blotchy skin, externally caused, this ea9y, quick-acting way.

FRED PALMER’S SKIN WHITENER aider changing the rule. The state committee will meet month. Should it change the rule, it will be a major victory in colored citizens’ fight for full democracy, the NAACP said. Negroes were allowed to register for the primary election here, but according to James M. Hinton, chair man of the NAACP executive com mittee, it was an empty gesture, since under the ruling of the Demo cratic party, a Negro must be at least 87 years old to vote. Appearing before the board of e lectlons, April 22, the delegation crowded the court room of the coun ty courthouse where its spkesman Dr. R. W. Mance, read a statement which called on the Democratic party of South Carolina to “meet the challenge of the times” and allow Negroes in the state to vote. Mr. Hinton said that Negroes burst into applause and whites were astounded when R. Herbert Beverly outstanding white attorney, speak ing as an interested citizen, declar ed that the board should ask the state Democratic committee to re vise its rules and put in clauses cl lowing Negroes to vote because, “to deny the Negro the right to vote is denying him suffrage and is th are fore unconstitutional.” DEAL CLOSED ON LOCATION OF WASHINGTON BUREAU New York—The NAACP announc ed Friday, May 1, that a deal has been closed with the landlord for an office for the Association’s Wash ington bureau at 100 Massachusetts Avenue. The new office is near the inter section of Massachusetts and New Jersey avenues, close to car lines on both avenues: two blocks from the Union station; close to the Capitol, the United States supreme court; House and Senate office buildings and other government agencies. The date for the formal opening will be announced as soon as neces sary renovations have been complet ed, the NAACP said. The establish ment of the Washington Bureau marks an extension of the machin ery for the NAACP’s service to Ne gro America and will increase its ef fectiveness as guardian of the citiz enship rights of Negroes, officials said. DETROIT CITIZENS PRAISED IN SOJOURNER TRUTH VICTORY New York, N. Y.—Although many forces were at work to secure Negro occupancy of the Sojourner Truth Housing project in Detroit, which began April 29, chief congratulat ions should go to the Sojourner Truth Citizens’ Committet, it was asserted today by the NAACP. In a telegram of congratulations to Reverend Charles Hil, chairman of the Citizens’ Committee, the NA ACP said: ‘National Association for the Ad vanctment of Colored People sends heartiest congratulations t you and every member and supporter of the Citizenh’ Committee on the final victory in the long battle for the oc cupancy of the Sojourner Truth projec. Many forces were at work, but without the united and persist ent efforts of the citizens of Detroit through your committee, we doubt that we would have won.” NAACP CONFERENCE CROWDS HELD TO 5,000 BY ARMY Los Angeles, Calif.—Regulations of the Army high command on the Pacific coast will limit the size of the crowds at the NAACP annual conference, which meets here in July, to 5,000 persons. General Do Witt has ordered all indoor meetings held to this size. The NAACP conference, which has not met on the Pacific coast since 1928, is expected to draw large crowds to some of the mass meet ings where nationally known speak ers will be on the program. One such meeting will be held Friday night, July 17, when A. Philip Randolph formally receives the 27th Spingarn medal. The final mass meeting Sunday afternoon, July 19 will be held in the famous Shrine Delegates from the East are ex pected to come to the conference on Auditorium here. a special train leaving St. Louis, Mo.

A MESSAGE TO —GALLOWAY (continued from page 1) ited Arkansas and Texas. —CCM.— I’ve been talking with a lot of your readers, C. C. as you suggest ed that I do, and many have come up with some useful suggestions. Mrs. Laura Moore, 2858 Burdette Street, would like to see the GUIDE built up to compete with the large national racial weeklies. Mrs. Lottie Keys, 2516 Burdette Street, really has a useful and prac tical suggestion. In these times of economic stress she thinks a lot of valuable household hints could be provided readers and believes that other readers could contribute the rtsults of their experiments, etc. Do you suppose other readers would take the trouble to do so, C. C? I can’t begin to remember all the comments of those I have already contacted but as I write this rambl ing mesage to you, C. C. and as I think of the many incidents I’ll .iot them down. —CCM— Met a Mrs. Elmer Gant, 2220 Wil lis Avenue, and discovered that for several years she lived in Michigan —Flint, I believe. —CCM— Every time I pick up a Defender, Call, or Courier, to read, I see “Rag land Bros.” stamped at the top. Well, I met the father of the bro thers. He Is W. G. Ragland, 2204 Seward Plaza. He says that the family has been local distributors of national papers for eighteen years. Right now though he Is patiently counting the days until the close of school as he is then expecting his daughter, Elece Naomi Ragland to return home from Pasadena, Calif ornia, where she is now attending school. —CCM.— This reminds me that I also met Mrs. Harry Leland, 2824 No. 26th Street, also in the newspaper game. I’ve seen the Leland jottings in the Call for years. —CCM— Did you know that Mr. and Mrs. George Selby, 2519 Blondo Street, have been in Illinois for several months? Mr. Selby is attending an Arsenal School “somewhere in Illin ois.” —CCM— John Pinn, of Forth Worth, Tex as/is now making his home with his daughter Mrs. Marie Parker, 2825 No. 24th Street. Mr. Pinn’s health has been failing for several years but expects to rapidly im prove under the tender care of his daughter, Marie. —CCM— Mrs. Nellie George, 2423 Seward Street, who broke her arm while at Fort Crook, some weeks ago, is mending rapidly. —CCM— Caught Mrs. Bailey Sims, 2827 Seward Street, while busily engag ed in making an attractive rock garden around her hill-top resid ence. —CCM— How do they keep a double gen eral out of the war? Met a young chap with the military-sounding name of Foch Pershing Allen. Be lieve he said he was an advertising man. He introduced me to a Al bert Andrews of the National lo fense. —CCM— Heard a good one on you, C. C. It seems that for a year or more Dr. Price Terrell, 2501 1-2 No. 24th Street, has been suggesting the need of a minor operation on your eye but you always shied away. The way I heard it he got you in his of fice the other night, applied some novacane and before you knew it the operation was over. Who was it that said, “There’s no fear like fear itself.” —CCM— Your sociable and petite office secretary, Miss Bernice Gray, 2210 No. 27th Avenue, is responsible fcr my contact with the Morning Star Baptist Church Through her recommendation I went around to the home of Mrs. Eva Johnson, 2110 Ohio Street, to partake in the special barbeque of fered the public, Saturday, by the Sa(nior Choir of the Morning* Star Church. The barbeque must have been a huge success for when I ar rived it was all gone. Better luck next time, I hope. But Sunday morning I did attend the services at the Morning Star Baptist Church, 2608 Franklin Street. C. C. did you know that your office secretary is quite a solo ist? I arrived in church just ill time to hear Miss Gray sing. The pastor, Rev. L. W. Anderhon, cer tainly appears sincere and courag eous. He rendered a sermon—"Hon esty with God”—that deserved a much better attendance. I would like to hear Rev. Anderson give that same sermon in one of the large churches of the country—Bethesda, of Chicago, for instance; Abyssinia, of New York; Temple, of Philadel phia; Bethel, of Atlanta, or any of the real large churches, and then would like to have a special seat in the gallery somewhere so that I could see the members fidgeting and squirming as the truth of Rev. An derson's words would be brought home to them. —CCM— Mrs. Leola Jones, 2866 Grant Street, representing the Tri-Club Council, and the Quack Club of the Y. W. C. A. with a delegation com prised of Mrs. Anita Blackburn, Exe ctive Secretary, Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Roberta McCloud, president of the Trojan Club. Mrs. Altha Vann, chairman of the committee of man agement, Y. W. C. A. and Miss Jean Wright, girl reserve secretary, Y. W. C. A. are attending the Central Regional Conference, at the Hotel Sherman, Chicago, the 8th, 9th and 10th of May. —CCM— C. C. just what constitutes news? 1 asked Mrs. Geraldine Melford, 2810 No. 30th Street, if she had any news. She said she had no news for she has been entirely too busy to have, attend, or otherwise part icipate in socials, visits, etc., as she had just recently had a baby. Now C. C. I ask you what would be news if having a baby isn’t news? Tile baby boy, Ryland Eugene Melford, the second, is doing nicely. He’3 al most a month old now though. Mrs. Melford is a girl reserve advisor at the Y. W. C. A. —CCM— I I asked another lady, Mrs. L. El ▼erta Smith, 2736 Parker Street, al most the same question. She said she had no news only a babv boy was just born to Mrs. John Frazier, 1 of the same address, her daughter, and that her twenty-year old boy, Erias Billy Smith, who is nov: working at the Oakland, California, shipyards just married an Oakland girl. —CCM— I saw a great big house at the top of the hill, 2811 Caldwell Street, and upon inquiry learned that Mrs. Ev elina Coburn conduncts a conval escent home there. She has thir teen patients, seven children, and six adults, ranging in age from five years to ninety-seven years. New there’s something—a ninety-seven year old person. Wonder if any of your readers are older than that C. C? —CCM— C. C. here’s one for the book. Mrs. John Voner, 2537 Binney Street phoned up and wanted some on-; to call around there and collect some money she owed. How many sub scribers do that C.
