PETER MEHRENS
Mr. Peter Mehrens who some of'
us have known for 37 years is vet
on the firing line for justice.
Mr. Mehrens was in the Guide of.
fiee on July 14, to make a statement
to the Acting Editor. C. C. Galloway
in regards to his candidacy for
County Commissioner of the 1st Dis
trict of Douglas County. Mr Meh
rens states that he yet believes in
the Negroes’ pro-rata of employ
ment in proportion to the taxes we
pay and the votes we cast and that
that will be his position if he is
nominated and elected for the l*t
District of County Commissioner of
Douglas County.
Mr. Peter Mehrens is a wealthy
man at 66 and is not running for
an office for what consideration in
salary and is not in it for himself
He wishes to be placed in a position j
where he can render a service toj
the people who made it possible for
him to accumulate his wealth in r’ne
last 29 years
29 years ago Peter Mehrens was
just an ordinary chef cook, in a sec
ond rate hotel, known as the Mer
chants Hotel on Famam between ;
15th and l*th streets on th“ site
where the World-Henild building
now stands.
He has been a pioneer in th“
working and building of Omaha. Tie
is considered as a successful busin
ess man. He wants to serve the
people who made it possible for his
success If you live in the 1st Dis
trict—you can't make a mistake b-*
voting for Peter Mehrens for County
Commissioner He will do for he
Negro as County Commisioner. what
he has done as a member of th- I
Board of Education.
There has been a number of ^ la
ments made as to who put Negro j
teachers on the school board wav- j
roll and Negro janitors. We will
admit many Omahans have tried in !
the last 39 years, but up to the time
when Peter Mehrens went on the
Board of Education from the date
Of Mrs. Ulla Overall’s resignation,
there was not a Negro on the school
payroll system. Today we have five
janitors. two janitoress and three
teachers I
The janitors are J. C. Bates. How

ees all placed on the payroll since
Peter Mehrens has been on the
Board of Education, not a single one
was there before.
Peter Mehrens sat right here m
the Omaha Guide s office and said
to the acting Editor. C. C. Galloway j
that if he was elected as a member
of the School Board he would do
everything within his power in get
ting our pro-rata of the work as

the above is not some evidence that
he has made a fine start in keeping
his word. Mr Negro voter you can

WASHINGTON. July 17 (ANPv—
Declaring that the U. S. Navy had
worked out no plan for use of Negro
i officers and that the navy was not
disposed to train men for Officers
and then not use them. Addison
Walker, assistant to Sec. of Navy
Knox and Dean Barker, director of
the navy training program, last
week told Dean C. H. Thompson of
Howard university and Charles H.
Houston, noted attorney, represent
ing the Conference of Presidents of
Negro Lang Grant colleges, that
the navy could make no further ex
pansion in the navy program to
train Negroes at this time.
Mr. Walker and Dean Barker, in
effect, declined to recommend that
Negro colleges and Negro students
be permitted to participate in the
new V-l training program, which is
designed to provide officer candi
dates for the navy out of quotas of
college students, and over protests
of the Conference of Presidents of
Negro Land Grant Colleges and Oth
V representative organizations
throughout the country, stood adam
ant on the navy policy of discrim
ination.
Under the V-l program, as it now
stands, no Negro college may parti
cipate and no Negro student enroll
ed in a white college, may take ad
vantage of the opportunity for fu
ture naval service to his country.
In accordance with the plan, the
navy has a quota of approximately
one-third of the nation’s college;
students, who are permitted to en
list in the navy, pass to the naval
reserve, remain in college until
graduation and then go into the V-l t
program for commissions in the
navy. As long as the student's col- '
lege work is on a satisfactory level,
he is not sent to active service. If
he fails in college, however, he is
sent immediately to active duty. 1
The purpose of the plan is to fur
nish the navy- a continuous sappty
for the duration of the war of train
ed and intelligent potential officers.
Mr. Walker and Dean Barker stat
ed to the land-grant representatives
that it was contemplated that re
cruits for officer raining wo till
come from he men now being train
ed at Great Lakes naval station aud
at Hampton, “when and if the"
qualify as officer candidates."
The training at Great Lakes and
Hampton is not designed to qualify
sailors as officers, but for the enlist
ed ratings, the committee pointed
out. and an officer candiate has the
further disadvantage of the require
ments of a year's sea duty and the j
recommendation of his commanding i
officer in order to take examin
ations to qualify for a commission
Dean Thompson and Mr. Houston
declared that the condition that the
sailor be recommended by his com
manding officer was a “loophole
and a snare for the elimination of
all Negroes” and that in effect the
navy has not opened the way for
Negroes to become commissioned
officers.
Impetus to the action by the land
grant conference, headed by John
W Davis, president of West Vir
ginia state colege. came when the
conference learned, during its two
day meet at Hampton recently, that
Howard university and several other
colored schools had applied for par
ticipation in the V-l program and
had been refused. This stand had
been taken by the navy while tbe
army had invited all colleges be
longing to the conference to partic
ipate in the AERC. The army's

how much Negro Americans resent
being denied their rights as Amer

We are convinced that the J. U.
Reynolds Tobacco Co., was in no
way responsible for this insult to
the race in general and Miss May r or

by someone not connected with the

Petrillo has informed all record

records except for war agencies, un
less the companies found a way to
prevent their use by radio stations

because Roosevelt still thinks he has

He does not want their opposition j

Governor Dareen is a creature of
the Byrd regime in Virginia, so he
did what the machine wanted him

' First of Articles Begir.
In this Issue—
As a part of the national and l>
cal campaign for the control of ven
ereal disease, the Nebraska Negro
Medical Society is cooperating by
instituting a refresher study course
in venerea] disease treatment.
The Society has gone on record
as recognizing that the war effct;
demands a healthier nation, and
that venereal disease is one of the
major health problems. T0 take an
active part in the educational cam
paign. they have planned a series
of five meetings under the direction
Of S. L. Pear]man. 11. D., Director
Communicable Disease Control. Cry
Health Department. The meetings
will deal with the attitude, diagnos
is, an dtreatment of syphilis and -
gonorrhea, and educational and \
class material will be given through
literature, lectures, and films.
Of public interest will be the re
suits of the meetings, which will be I
summarized in a series of education
al articles appearing in this news- ’
paper, beginning this week, under
the signature of the cooperating
physicians.
All the meetings axe being held j
at the Northside Clinic except the '
final lecture. This will be at the
home of S. B. Northcross. M. D. at
2731 1-2 -Q” Street.
The physicians taking part in this
course are: Dr. Price Terrell. Dr.
D. W. Gooden, Dr. W. W. Solomon,
Dr. Wesley Jones, Dr. Herbert Wig
gins. Dr. G. B. Lennox, Dr. S. B.
Northcross. and Dr. A. L. Hawkins.
Dr. Craig Morris, who is president
of the Nebraska Negro Medical Soc
iety stated, “This series of meetings
should be a precedent for further |
organized community effort to con
trol venereal disease Similar re
i fresher courses on other health top
ies of emergency interest are plann
| ed for the future because the medic
al profession realizes that these are
times when we must keep pace with
the advancement of science.”
The following article is the first j
of a senes or articles contributed by
the members of the Nebraska Negr i
Medical Society. These articles are
presented as a public service in the
interests of better health for Nat
ional Defense. Because control of
venereal disease is the least satis
factory in our present program, this
series will deal with this subject.
WHAT OUR ATTITUDE
TOWARD VENEREAL
DISEASE SHOULD BE
(by DR. G. B LENNOX)
Despite our present critical world
situation, some victories are being
won on other fronts. The war fore
ed us to take a realistic attitude to
ward Health This is particularly
true of syphilis and gonorrhea. We
now speak freely of these serious
health problems. When these twq
diseases slow our effort to victory,
it is too expensive not to talk about
them. We must speak of syphilis
and gonorrhea as disease problems,
for that is what they are
The sick person needs treatment.
No person should deny this funda
mental fact.
Any attitude which might discour
age a sick person from applying for
adequate and reliable treatment is
unhuman.
Xo Christian basis can be found
for forcing any person to conceal
a serious, crippling, killing and con
tagious illness.
Disease is not a punishment for
sin. That attitude should have been
discarded with the idols of wood
and stone.
Germs respect neither class nor
creed. The innocent victims of the
germs of syphilis and gonorrhea are
testimony to this fact.
We must examine our beliefs and
attitudes to find if we are individ
ually responsible for the agonized
writhing of infants not yet able to
talk. If we, by a false attitude,
make treatment for these less de
sirable than concealment, we have
sinned.
The public should urge the medi
cal profession to play an increasing

C. C, GALLOWAY FOR STATE SENATOR
(BY HERMAN FRIKDI.ANDFK
3211 Myrtle Avenue
Mr. C. C. Galloway is a candidate
for State Senator of the 5th District
Mr. Galloway not only deserves our
vote, but we should take it upon
ourselves to See that our friends
an {[neighbors go to the polls and
vote for him alongside of other de
serving candidates.
I have known Mr. Galloway more
than 25 years. He has always been
interested in civic effairs and con
tributed much of his effrots to
make Omaha a bctreor place to Ihe
in for all of us.
C. C. Galloway was not always on
the winning side but he stood for
what he thought was right. I.et
me cite you a few instances as an
illustration of his good judgement
of his farsightedness.
Many years ago and now. he was j
---:-.
ly active part in the control of the •
problem.
The patient should ask for a blood
test if it is not offered, and if it is
suggested, the patient should feel
that the doctor is alert and progres
sive.
You have no personal immumty
to germs All classes, creeds, and
peoples have died from undiscovered
or untreated syphilis.
Most infections occur at an early
age—15-25. This means that these
people must look to the community
for help. The public attitude to
ward this problem will probably de
cide how adequate this help will be.
We cannot afford to fail the next
generation.
Our attitude toward education in
the schools should be a positive one.
We should demand that our high
schools acquaint our youth of the
dangers of syphilis and gonorrhea.
The reports showing the great num
bers of young people infected, show
that they know a part of the truth,
but they do not know enough to a
void the dangers or get a cure.
an anient supporter of Senator Nor
ris and his predictions that Senator
Norris will go down in history as a
great champion and exponent for
human liberty. His prediction eam=
true, when the Senator introduced
the unicameral system. Mr. Gall
oway supported this plan and
brought the Senator to a meeting
on north 24th street, but people did
not care to Isten to him—they fear
ed the unicameral system would
prevent a colored man to be elect
ed to the Legislature. Mr. Galloway \
knew different an dthe Jesuits a Ne-1
gro has been elected ever since.
Mr. Galloway enjbys the respect of 1
many prominent citizens all over j
the city too numerous to mention. 1
How well do I remember his devo
tion to his good friend H. B Zim
man when the Brandeis store de
cided to give the jobs for elevatox
operators to colored girls. I don’t
know who claimed the credit but T
do know that only through Mr. Gal
loway’s influence with Mr. Zimma-I
was it accomplished.
The Community Center of which
I also was a sponsor, may not have
been here, were if not of the assist
ance and effort of Mr. Galloway and
had Mr. Galloway been retained as
head of the Center, we would have
had a larger Center today.
Mr. Galloway is also a great
friend and supporter of the candid
acy of Senator Wherry for United
States Senator. A promising lead
er in America’s present and future
destiny.
I have only mentioned a rew of
the many points why Mr. C. C.
Galloway deserves the Support of
every true American.
In this crisis which our country
is facing, it is our duty more now
than ever before, to pay attention to
our elections. It our duty to ex
ercise our right to vote—to encour
age ur friends to vote and above all
to find cut who the candidates are
before we go to the polls.
