20,000 Fans Witness
Tuskegee's Victory
Over Wifberforce
(by Louis Simpkins)
Chicago, (PPNS) 20,000 excited
fans found wholesome release from
the tension of a world at war when
thye pouded into the vast stands of
Comiskey Park Friday night to wit
ness the 15th Annual football classic
between the Tuskegee Tigers and the
Wilberforce Bulldogs. Sparked by
the sensational playing of Alva Tab
or, team captain, Tuskegee upset the
mighty warriors from the Buckeye
State with a 19 to 14 victory, in a
game rich with thrills and spectacul
ar plays.
The powerful bright lights above
the park illuminated the colorful pag
eant as the two teams jogged on the
field clad in their vivid colored arm
or. The Tuskegee squad made a
handsome team in their colors of
crimson and gold; while the Wil
berforce eleven looked equally strik
ing in green and gold. A mild tem
peraturc and a cool northeast wind
made the setting ideal for football
The shrill whistle of the referee
marked the opening kickoff, which
was greeted by a wild cheer from the
crowd that echoed far into the outer
darkness of the night- With cleats
pounding in the gridiron the two
teams charged down the field and
clashed when Williams of Wilber
force who received the kickoff from
Tuskegee was brought down on the
35 yard line- The ice was broken
shortly afterwards when Capt. Denn
ison passed to King, who thundered
around right end and over the goal
line for the first Wilberforce touch
down. The kick was good making
the score 7 to 0. At this point Tus
kegee unleashed its deadly aerial at

tack that paved the way to the Wil
berforce goal ine for a touchdown by
Crawford- The kick was blocked.
At the beginning of the second
half, Wilberforce quickly bolstered
their scode by 7 points after Balor
on a line play hit Tuskegee’s right
end tn a driving attack for the sec
ond and winal touchdown for Wil
berforce. Hall's kick was good
One of the game’s greatest thrills
came when McClellan, who was a
veritable powerhouse for Wilber
force, intercepted a pass by Tabor in
tended fod Perry and zig zagged 80
yards to Tuskegee’s 10 yard line
Taking to the air in a desperate at
tempt to stave off what seemed like
inevitable defeat in the last quarter,
Tabor led his men in a spirited charg

downs and one successful goal kick,
ending the game in a last minute
thriller with a decisive victory pf 19

, INDICT 30 TRANSIT WORKERS
IN PHILA. TRANSIT STRIKE
(Special)— PHILADELPHIA —
The Federal Grand Jury investigat
ing the recent transit strike, which
followed the upgrading of eight Ne
gro employees hasl indicted 30 trans
it workers for violation of the Smith
Connally Act and mildly rebuked the
management of the Philadelphia Tran
sportation Co-, for failing to take
proper action to avert the walkout.
With a pat on the back to company
unions and a slap at fhe Transport
Workers Union, CIO, the jury hand
ed up a contradictory presentment,
topping its list of defendants with
the four men who were arrested as
ringleaders of the strike which ended
on its sixth day after the U. S.
Army moved in
These four men were James H
McMenamin, William C. Dixey, Jr-,
Frank P. Carney and Frank Anthony
Thompson.
Federal -Judge Guy K. Bard order
ed bail of $500 each for the 30 men
but no trial date was set- The Grand
Jury found that proper conduct by
company executives might have av
erted the strike; in another, it held
that the promotion of Negroes to op
erating jobs was the fundamental
cause of the strike, and in a third,
stated that the Negro question played
no deep role in the tieup of Philadel
phia’s war transportation.
Again, the jury placed responsibil
ity for the strilce squarely on the
company, then shifted responsibiltiy
to the Transport Workers Union

which opposed the strike from the
start and won official Army thanks
for its aid in returning the employ
ees to their jobs
The jury expressed approval of
company unions (TWU won a bar
gaining agent victory over a so-call
ed company union last Spring), which
under some circumstances, the jury
said, represented the ‘‘ideal" in indus
trial relatoins. The Jurors also not
ed with alarm the growth of a strong
national lahor organization ‘‘reaching
its tenacles into every community”
as subversive of ‘‘the life and govern
ment of our great republic.”
And in indicting the 30 men they
declared: “It is our opinion that all
of these individuals are victims of
larger forces under the influence of
which they have been affected.” The
indictments included two counts: —
Causing the strike and taking part in
a strike which “caused interruption of
the facilities and interfering with the
operation” of PTC. The maximum
penalty is a year in prison or $5,000
fine or both.
“It seems quite clear that so far
as there was flame or fire in the
strike, the chief fuel, therefore, came
from resentment over the upgrading
of Negroes to ‘platform’ positions
such as none of their race had here
tofore held,” the Grand Jury said
“The members of this jury wish it
to be known that they agree entirely
with the viewpoint which holds for
this race the right to higher posit
ions and wages where-ever they so
qualify on the same basis as fellow
employees of the white race
“We are pleased, therefore, to ex
press our conviction that the great
majority of the employees were not
interested to strike on this basis.”
James J. Fitzsimon, international
vice president of the TWU, said ‘The
Union considered the jury report “a
miscarriage of truth and justice.”
“In their zeal to whitewash the
real instigators of the strike located
in high places of industry, city gov
ernment and the Republican Party
organizations, the grand jury indict
1 ed several innocent workers” Fitz
j siman said.
After tracing the history of the
strike back to Dec. 27, 1943, when
the Fair Employment Practices Com
mittee ordered PTC to cease dis
criminating against Negroes, the
GrantJ Jury declared:
“It appears evident that proper
planning befroehand on the part of
management for such an emergency
(as the strike) and quick action by
responsible officers would have turn
ed the incipeint strike into a forceful
display of employee loyalty to their
company and to their public duty.
“The jury regrets the failure of
PTC to take firm hold on the situ
ation. Their general attitude after
the strike began seems best expressed
in the weak excuse—“What’s the use ?
“Actually on the first day of the
strike a prominent official expressed
it thus to the head of the War Man
power Commission: “Its your baby
and it’s on your lap.”
Referring to the defaeted union
(PRT Employees Union) the Grand
Jury said:
“The members of the jury are in
terested to note that countrywide we
have made a long step away from
the company union which might, with
the right motivation on both sides,
have seemed the ideal method of re
lations i our industrial life.”

GRANT REYNOLDS RESIGNS
NAACP POST IN D. C.
Grant Reynolds, Administrative As
sistant of the Washington Office <>t
the National Associa im foi the Ad
vances eit of Color-1 P-Miole ha: re
protest against the mistreatment i I
Negroes in the Armed forces.
Mr. Reynolds said it is his feeling
that “On November 7th, America
will have its last opportunity to cor
rect the gross injustices to the Negro
soldier, by voting .to put in office a
Republican Administration.”
Mr. Reynolds, a Congregational
Minister, served two years as a cap
I tain of Army Chaplains. As a result
of his own Army service and through
information and complaints received
by him in the Washington office of
NAACP, he has become an authority
on the widespread abuses to which
Negro troops are subjected.
He served as chaplain at Fort
Huachuca, Arizona, the only camp in
the United States at which exclus
ively Negro troops are stationed
where, he states, “30,000 troops are
maintained in a condition of degrad
ation and cruelty.”
“Fort Huachuca is generally refer
red to as being a combination of the
horrors of a prison camp and a mil
itary camp in Africa where black
colonials are trained. Long sentenc
es meted out to Negro soldiers as a
result of false charges, unprovoked
assaults by whit officers upon Negro
enlisted men, segregation of Negro
officers into squalid quarters, at
tempted suicide by Negro soldiers be
cause of intolerable conditions, state
ments by the commanding general
referding to his 14,000 ‘niggers’, jeer
ings by the colored troops of their
division commander, and the main
tenance of a white supremacy caste
system over all the Negro personnel,
both enlisted and commissioned, are
some of the unAmerican practices
which make Huachuca the most in
famous camp in America- This con
dition is made more shocking be
cause Huachuca is the bottleneck
through which the only Negdo com
bat divisions, namely: the 92nd and
93rd, have gone to the fighting front
namely: the 92nd to Italy and 93rd
to the South Pacific.”
Mr. Reynolds is now associated
with the Baltimore Afro-American
for which he will write articles con
cerning the mistreatment of Negroes
in the Armed Forces.
The romance of Susie and the Major
first told in Louis Bromfield’s popular
novel, ‘‘Mrs. Parkington”—has been
brought to the screen by yours truly.
★ ★ ★ ★
The stars of “Mrs. Parkington” are
Greer G arson and Walter Pidgeon and the
story is one that gives this talented duo
the greatest opportunity of their career*.
★ ★ ★ ★
It is quite a different type of story from
any in which they have heretofore ap
peared together.
The sparkling saga of a beauty who
married a rogue, “Mrs. Parkington” is
lusty, gusty and as American as base
ball and huckleberry pie.
k k k k
Greer is the daughter of a mining camp
boardinghouse keeper, lovely to look at
and a bit naive at the start. But she
learns, she learns—and becomes witty
and wise as well as winning and winsome!
k k k k
She has a good teacher in Maj. Parking
ton, a handsome rogue with a roving eye.'
★ ★ ★ ★
The part fits Walter Pidgeon like the
proverbial glove. His "Major” is as
engaging a rascal as a girl could hope
; to meet—and conquer.
★ ★ ★ ★
Tay Garnett, who directed, makes the
Bromfield novel a thing of power, beauty
and humor on the screen.
★ ★ ★ ★
He is aided by a galaxy of stars includ
ing Edward Arnold, Agnes Moorehead,
Cecil Kellaway, Gladys Cooper, Frances
Rafferty, Tom Drake, Peter Lawford,
Dan Duryea and Hugh Marlowe.
