They are caused by insulting re marks from one group directed to members of another group. Natur ally, they are resented and in the followups, there are often outbursts of physical violence. The activities of subversive ag encies in the middle west, particul arly in Detroit, where the despised j KuKluxKlan seems to have obtained 1 a new lease on life despite the ef ! forts of the department of justice to eliminate the organization, are disturbing. The situation in the big industrial center is more than tense, according to reports filed daily here in Washington. Pro-axis activities discovered in this section have alarmed the nat ion, but those activities dated back to before the Sojourner Truth flare up. Such activities are believed di rectly responsible for much of th J trouble in this area, according to reliable reports. Not easily discernible, these take the form of protests, strikes and work hindrances. Union activities are also involved in these demon strations. The general feeling is to keep Negroes out of skilled work and it is reliably reported that the NegrO.iS jn jobs in defense areas are sworn to secrecy. This is done, it is be lieved, to prevent the actual facts concerning work and employment from being made public. Negroos are told that their jobs are a part of national defense and as such, they should not tell the type Of work they are doing, nor where they work. Advised that this is a war secret, Negroes therefore keep their mouth shut and no amount of in vestigation nor questioning will make them reveal the work they are doing. Two cities in this same area, mid dle west, are faced with a shortage of Negro labor. They are Dayton, and Louisville, Pittsburgh, as well, has a similar problem. Observors see in this section a repitition of the mass labor migration that came — - ■ \ Train For First Aid Detachments I Baltimore, Md.—Part of the first three groups to be signed up by the Baltimore Red Cross Chapter as neighborhood first aid detachments, members of the Southern First Aid Detachment learn administration of I first aid from Elbert C.

Groups of 15 to 50 members, divided into teams of five each, learn how to rescue their neighbors from wreckage caused by bombs, how to administer first aid relief and to prepare casualties for transportation to hospitals. with World War I. This migration is bringing t> these areas, problems that demand immediate attention. Involved are housing, health., education, morals, and morale. Too much attention and stress has been directed and placed on tha Pair Employment Practice Comm ittee. In large areas, Negroes, it is reported, have been given "token employment" to keep down investi gations and to prevnt hearings on discriminatory practices. However ,the general wave of discrintinatory practices sleeping the country has done nothing tc lift the Negro morale, despite ef forts on the part of some to say the picture is much brighter for the Negro EXPOSE TORTURE OF THREE SOLDIERS IN LOUISIANA “SCOTTSBORO” CASE (Continued from naare 1) life terms in prison.

Treasury Department Mrs. Blanche Holmes, mother of Pvt John Bordenave, has pleaded with army officers and officials of the federal government to investigate the case. She went into the case after her son wrote her July 23, de claring that he was innocent and had been arrested only after a state ment from one of the others involv ed him. He alleges that on tha night of the crime is said to have occurred he was on guard duty. “I’ve been in jail 21 days,” Bord enave wrote. "They put me in on the 25th day of May, this case hap pened on the 9th day of May and il was not reported until the 15th of May. When they put you in jail here they don’t want you to Say anything whether you are right or wrong. You know it is here, they make you say you did if you did not, the camp officers did not come to see me or whether I was right or wrong,” he declared. He swore to his mother that he did not know anything about the case, stating that he always steered clear of “that kind of trouble.' Ex plaining the dangers of relations be tween Negro soldiers and “these kind of women,” he pointed out that “‘they have white girls out here selling themselves, you know there was a colored soldier shot here about the same case and there was nothing done about it.” TORTURE FORCES CONFESSIONS When arrested the soldiers de clared that they were innocent of the charges, hut they were tortured until they signed written confessions Bordenave told his mother when she spoke with him in court Monday. He said that for three weeks they were kept in straight jackets, but when they failed to confess then the torturing followed. Three lawyers of Alexandria were appointed to the defense of the trio. They are Ward T. Jones, John R. Hunter Jr., and Isaac Wahlder. Hunter, who is defending Bord- j enave, wrote Mrs. Holmes on July 10 to the effect: “It is extremely distasteful, to Sd.y the least, for me to have to defend Bordenave, or any other Negro, charged with raping a white girl, and I did my best to try to get out of defending Bordenave, but the court would not permit me to with draw. “If there is any way for you to raise any money and engage some other attorney to defense Borden ave. it would be perfectly all righ. with me and possibly might help some. I don’t want to create the impression that I will not defend Bordenave to the best of my ability, for that I will do. but if there is any way possible for me to get out, I am going to do it.” ODDS AGAINST THEM Hunter went on to state, “It is not my ^ intention to frighten you, but this crime is punishable by death, and the way the case stands at this time, it is my opinion that the odds are great against Bordenave and the others.” A letter to Mrs. Roosevelt was re sponsible for an investigation which brought a few of the tacts to light. The alleged attack is said to have taken place inside a barracks in the Negro section of the camp. Two of FIRST DELIVERANCE CHURCH BENEFIT STORE 2020 NORTH 24TH ST.
