(One of the Essentials of a Democracy) Freedom of speech is but One of the many important rights America is fight* ing for today! Our free speech is as American as Valley; Forge. Fostered by our Pilgrim Fathers, it was protected by the life-blood of the Colonials and finally written into the Bill of Rights as a sacred, inalienable right of the American people. Lose it now? Never! To us freedom of speech is still worth fighting for. Like individual initiative, free speech has helped make America the greatest nation in the world. It took courage, foresight, and hard work to build the great private business enterprises that have made America’s standard of living the highest in the world. And those same qualities— personal sacrifice, hard work, individual initiative—will again make America vic torious in this fight for freedom! NEBRASKA POWER COMPANY TRUCK DRIYR INJURED; DIES ON ROAD WHEN WHITES REFUSE AID Chicago, Sept. 14 (ANP) An Invest igation into the death of a truck driver on a road near Memphis was reported to be underway l / an in surance company with which the de ceased was insured.

The helper was sent to a gas sta tion to telephone for an ambulance. During his conversation to an un identified white. he was heard by attendants to remark. ‘Yes’ and No' Mrs. Lindsay said th attendants beat the man insensible and told him, “We’il teach you how to talk to white folk!” Meantime the ambulance arrived but interns refused to help the ser iously wounded Andrews because hi* was a Negro. Several hours late - ano'her ambulance unit was pre vailed upon to help, but by the time | they responded Andrews had died. -Mrs. Andrews resides here with her seven year old daughter, Patsy Lee. ASK PRESIDENT FOR NEGRO WAVE OFFICERS TRAINING Washington, Sept. 14 (ANP) When the navy department press relations representatives, Lt. Allen, coull give no satisfactory answers con cerning the WAVES, the AKA Nan Partisan lobby through its repres entative, Thomasina Walker John son, immediately addressed a let ter to the President, calling upon him to end the farce of organizing at taxpayer’s expense a battalion of women to train as officers for this group excluding Negro women. Mrs. Johnson, in the name of the AKA, called Lt. Allen, and discuss ed the matter of using Negro wom en in this branch of the navy. She was informed that the probab ility of using Negro women had been discussed, and that a study was being made on the subject. Lt. Allen indicated no Negroes were as sisting in making this study and further said he had no idea how long the study would take before completion, when its recommendat ions would be known. Hs referred Mrs. Johnson to Dr. Will W. Alexander, who is in charge of minority group problems in the War Manpower eommssion, and in no way connected with the navy de partment. The letter to the President says in part: “It is a traversity on American de Madam, here’s one TABOO you can forget when you want relief You can thank your lucky stars that women are no longer squeam ish about discussing their troubles. Otherwise you might never know of the 2-way help that CARDUI may bring when nervousness, headaches, and cramp-like pain are due only to periodic functional causes. Many women find that, started three days before the time and taken as directed, CARDUI aids in relieving functinal periodic dis comforts. Used as a tonic, CAR DUI often wakes up sleepy appe tites, aids digestion by increasing the flow of gastric juices, and thus helps to build up resistance against the days it's needed most.

NEW YORK, SEPT. 15 Negro pilots in training at the Tu' kegee air base will not be fighting and flying for their country before June 30, 1943, according to Hen.-.' L. Stimson, secretary of war. This information was contained in a letter from the Secretary to the NAACP under date of September 1. Said Secretary Stimson: “At Tuskegee, Alabama, the Army Air Forces have a school engaged in training fighter pilots from the graduates Of which a complete fighter group is in the process of formation. This school is being ex panded and additional schools fcr the training of technicians are be ing established so that not later than June 30, 1943, a complete fight er group with all necessary crew and base services will be ready for j combat. As soon as this group is thoroughly trained and prepared for j combat, it will be committed.” Mr. Stimson said also that by the end of 1942 there would be 100,000 Negroes in the Army Air Forces. This total, however, will include technical specialists, administrative personnel, airdrome defense battal ions, aviation squadrons for general work on air bases, quartermaster truck companies, medical detach ments, etc. No figures are given on the actual number of pilots, but on August 15, Lieut. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief of the Army Air Forces released an official statement saying 34 NegTO pilots had been trained and commis sioned at Tuskegee. This was r year’s production, since the actual pilot trainng at Tuskegee did not begin until August, 1941. In its letter to the War Depart ment the NAACP had asked for a MU.

Gray, former welfare officer for the National Postal Alliance and at one time affiliated with Edgar G. Brown in the National Negro coun cil and the United Government cm ployes, is the latest addition to tha staff of Dr. Robert C. Weaver. Mr. Gray’s post is that of senior emnloy ment specialist and he will have to do with liason work among Negro groups not reached by other mem bers of Dr. Weaver’s regular staff. For a long time a resident of In dianapolis, Mr. Gray, a native of Texas, was retired from the postal , service prior to taking up the work 1 as welfare officer for the alliance [Tr> h°ld that post f tr about four or five years, being removed from of fice at the Baltimore convention, j He assumed duties with the man- J power commission Sept. 2. > _l_ _ ■ ■ "■ .

Secretary Stimson wrote that t’le War department is now limiting both white and Negro air cadet ap licants to one year's supply and that all above this numbrr would be subject to Selective Service- He pointed out. also, that Negroes are ; new being accepted and trained in j the field artillery as liaison pilots, i for duty with Negro field artillery j units, observing and spotting field gunfire. These men will fly small unarmored and unarmed planes with a speed of about 80 miles per hour. Although the NAACP letter ask-1 ed for the training of Negroes as j bomber pilots on multi-engined air- i craft, as bombardiers, and navigat-1 ors, no reference to this type of training was made by Secretary’ Stimson in his reply. So far as is known, Negroes at present are be- 1 ing trained only as pilots of {ast, | single seated fighter planes.

Stating that Negro leaders hid told him that Negroes pay 15 per cent more in some chain stores than do whites, Congressman Ludlow asked Henderson what the OPA would do about it. Henderson’s an swer was that his agency had non at that date had such complaints but “if there is any such cas? we will take appropriate action.” Basis for Ludlow’s September 7 speech was the recently published NAACP pamphlet “Food Costs More in Harlem”, a comparatively Study of retail food prices in Ha-1 em and other New York areas, show ing that food prices in the Negro section are consistently higher than, these in other economically compar able sections. ‘‘The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to be complimented on making thi~ very thorough survey of comparat ive food p-ices, which is well docu mented with detailed statistical tab! es,” Mr. Ludlow stated. “It is to b • hoped on the basis of this irrefut able evidence Price Administrator Henderson will be able to do some thing about it." BETWEEN THE LINES (Continued from page 1) excuse Britain is giving for continu- 1 ing her rule could be maintained for another 500 years. With Hindu and Moslem arrayed against each other, we have a division that could ha maintained by an unscrupulous dip lomacy for 1000 years. It seems Of the same pattern as Irish Free State and Ulster where the hand Of Irish man has been turned against bis brother for 700 years. The British policy in Ireland is costing the Br t ish empire dearly. When English miltary base would be of such im mense advantage to warring Brit ain. Irish Free State bitterly oppos es these bases on her coast. The enmity that England has begotten through hundreds of years is bear ing a bitter fruit. But the situation in India is close ly akin to the situation in Ireland. Indians are threatening to rush in to the wicked arms of Japan rather than cooperate with the British in, her fight. There’s “bad blood” a gainst the British in India and there is “bad blood” against her in Ire land. Quite as badly as we need a second front to relieve the pressure on Russia, we need a "third front” to cleanse the heart of warring n* tions. We need a moral front.
