OMAHA'S SAFETY DRIVE_
Every evening at seven minutes
after eight another day passes in
Omaha's Safety Drive. Only a
couple of weeks more without a
traffic fatality and Omaha will
have surpassed the World’s Re
cord. There is only one way that
can be accomplished and that is
by the drivers themselves. THEY
MUST DRIVE SAFELY AND
CAREFULLY!
We all know that someday,
someone will be careless and a life
will be lost. It is up to the drivers
of the automobiles to save as
many lives as possible. Those who
do most of their driving in our vi
cinity, can at least, keep the Sa
fety Record on Our Street. Let
us do our part, then it will be left
up to the drivers in the other
parts of the city to do theirs.
Now Lawrence, don’t you write
about me, said one of our most
popular young matrons.
Mrs. Margaret King, 2626 De
catur, and the mother of two of
the sweetest children in Omaha,
made that remark to me while
eating lunch in Neal's Cafe the
other day.
Mrs. King has just returned
from a vacation that took her to
Chicago and then for a few days
ID Carbondale, Illinois.
Mrs. King is Carbondale as large
as it sounds?, I asked.
Mrs. King looked at me as if
she wanted to throw her lunch on
me but decided against that. I
guess because food is so high, and
there is still thousands starving
in Europe.
Yes, she answered. But it is a
lovely place, and Jean and I just
rested and increased our weight.
should see her now; as fat
as she can be.
How did you enjoy your stay in
Chicago?, I asked.
I enjoyed every minute of it. We
found so much to do. You know
what there is in Chicago, or you
should, you lived there, she said.
Yes, I lived in Chicago, but the
salary that I made could not keep
me attending such places as the
Club DeLisa. White’s Emporium,
Grand Terrace, Rhumboogie, and
the 411 Club, play golf, eat ham
and eggs, steaks and chicken, and
still keep some part of the family
up to standard, I said. Millions of
people live in Chicago, so it must
be a grand place to live, but for
me, being small town, Chicago is
not the place.
We talked about the children;
Joyce, Jean, and my better-half
and my little daughter Judy. We
talked about the prices continual
ly going up and how many mer
chants were taking advantage of
it.
Mrs. Margaret King is now at
tending the Northside Beauty
School, and hopes to became an
operator this fall. Many years
have passed since I first became
acquainted with Mrs. King and
her family. Her two daughters are
growing lovelier everyday, and
with their beauty, they have learn
ed kindness, respect and obedi
ence.
Those years have not changed
their mother much. She was a
charming young lady then, filled
with determination. Today, still
determined, Mrs. King is equally
as charming.
VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU.
WHOSOEVER SHALL NOT RE
CEIVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD
AS A LITTLE CHILD, HE
SHALL NOT ENTER THEREIN.
St. Mark 10:15.
This is a story about a child not
yet four years old. A small child
just like thousands of other child
ren that live amongst us. She is
a normal child: always wanting to
play with her playmates, not want
ing her face washed or her hair
combed, and often she runs into
the street after her rubber ball,
not realizing the danger, although
she has been told many times.
One day while playing this child
ran into a steel pole, cutting a
deep hole in her head. She ran to
mother, and mother took her to
the doctor, and everything seem
ed alright.
A few days later her head began
to swell. It was swelling so fast "
that you could almost see it. Her
mother, of course, grew frantic,
but the child, not knowing about
fear, just complained a little
about her jaw hurting.
The family doctor was out of
town, but her mother called an
other. At first the doctor seemed
interested, but when she gave the
address, the doctor told her I can
not come out there. He was nice
enough to reccommend another
doctor, and later this doctor did
come. All this time the swelling
was getting worse, but the child
did not complain as she lay quiet
ly on the bed.
The doctor examined the child.

Negro Vet Beaten,
Eyes Gouged Out
By Georgia Police
NEW YORK—One of the most
horrible cases of southern police
brutality against returning NegTO
vets was brought to light today
when the NAACP released the
facts surrounding the unbelieva
bly barbarous beating and blinding
of Isaac Woodard, 27 year old
veteran of 4 years, 15 months of
which were spent in the South
Pacific. Woodard, 3 hours after
his discharge from a demobiliza
tion center, was taken from a bus
in Georgia by two policemen on
complaint of a bus driver. The po
lice immediately attacked the vet
with their blackjacks and as he
lay at their feet gouged out both
his eyes with the blunt end of a
blackjack before throwing him in
a narrow cell where he was left
intensely suffering through the
night without treatment.
Told in his own quiet words,
Woodward's story matches any
that ever came out of the barbar
ous horror chambers of Nazi Ger
many. The following story is ta
ken without embellishment from
the Negro vet’s affidavit filed with
the legal division of the NAACP:
“I, Isaac Woodard, Jr., being
duly sworn, do depose and state
as follows:
‘That I reside at 1100 Franklin
Avenue, Bronx, New York, Apt.
2. 1 am 27 years old, and a vet
eran of the United States Army,
Having served from the 13th of
October, 1942 to the 12th of Feb
ruary, 1946, when I received an
honorable discharge from Camp
Gordon, Georgia. I served for 15
months in the South Pacific with
the 429th Port Battalion. I served
in the Philippines and in New
Guinea and earned one battle star.
“I was discharged about 5:30
p. m. February 13, 1946 from
Camp Gordon, Georgia. At 8:30
p. m. at the Greyhound Terminal
in Atlanta, Georgia, while I was
in uniform I purchased a ticket
to Winnsboro, South Carolina and
took the bus headed there to pick
up my wife to come to New York
to see my father and mother.
About one hour out of Atlanta the
bus driver stopped at a small drug
store. As he stopped, I asked him
if he had time to wait for me
until I had a chance to go to the
rest room. He cursed and said no
and when he cursed me, I cursed
him back. After I cursed him, he
said, “Go ahead and get off and
hurry back”, so I got off hurrying
back as he said.
“About half an hour later, when
the bus got to Aiken, he stopped
again and got off and went and
got the police. I did not know what
he was doing and thought it was
just a regular stop. He came back
and came in the bus and came up
to me and said, ‘Come outside for
a minute,’ and I got off the bus.
When I walked out, the police were
there. As I walked out, the bus
driver started telling the police
that I was the one that was dis
turbing the bus. When he said
that, I started eplaining to the po
*ce that I was not raising a dist
urbance on the bus, but they didn't
give me a chance to explain. The
policeman struck me with a billy
across my head and told me to
shut up. After he finished talking
he said to me, ‘You won’t catch
this bus out of here, you catch the
next bus’.
‘After that, he grabbed me by

Gary Citizens, Welcome
Fiormer Omahan and
Husband
Couple To Have Charge
of Settlement House
Gary, Ind—Representatives of
city and church organizations wel
comed Rev. and Mrs. Frederick B.
Clay last night at a reception in
the Stewart house lounge.
Mrs. Clay will assist Rev. Clay
in his new work as superintendent
of the John Stewart settlement
house and as pastor of the De
laney Memorial Church.
The Clays, formerly of St. Louis
are both experienced in recrea
tional work. Rev. Clay is a grad
uate of Rust College, Gammon
Theological seminary and Boston
university. He succeeds Rev. B. F.
Neal who is now working on a
real estate project for the Meth
odist church.
Mrs. Clay, a former public
school teacher from Omaha, Neb.,
has also done nursery school su
pervision work.
Welcome addresses were given
by Dr. Dennis Bethea for the tru
stees of the church; A. S. Williams
Southside Business and Profess
ional Men’s Association; A. B.
Whitlock, Stewart house board of
directors, and Rev. H. B. Mitchell
of the Interdenominational Mini
sterial alliance.
Greetings were also given from
the young people of the church by
Miss Geraldine McDonald; from
Neighborhood house, by Miss Cath
erine Barber; Woman’s Society
of Christian Service, Mrs. Rebec
ca Fields; Methodist Men’s organ
ization, James Davis, and the Chi
cago district of Methodist Mini
sters, Rev. Sumpter Riley of Chi
cago.
Congregational singing was led
by the Church choir. The Kings
men, directed by Mrs. Eloise Aa
ron, also sang. Miss Emma Neal
sang a solo, William Jones gave a
piano selection and Miss Norma
Jean Bethea played a violin solo.
Charles Winston read the invoca
tion. The guests were introduced
by Clarence Walker, chairman of
the official board of the church.
Tribute was paid to Mrs. Lucilla
i Whitlock, 91-year-old widow of
A fine doctor. You could tell by
watching him; tenderly fondling
the child, telling her stories, and
letting her play with his tie and
some of his instruments.
The child did not understand as
the doctor quietly spoke to her
mother. We must get her to the
hospital tonight. She must receive
treatments immediately, he said.
As her mother wrapped her up
she smiled and played with her
mother’s hair. Little did the child
know that the doctor was puzzled
and that her life was dangerously
close to the end. But small child
ren do not worry about life or
death, and as long as her mother
was there, that was all the life
she needed.
The hospital was strange to her;
the nurses and interns in their
white, and everyone so quiet and
business-like. The many small
beds with other sick children in
them. This put a different light
on the subject, because she under
stood that something was up, and
mother looked worried, but still
the child was not worried.
As the nurse entered, mother
stepped back. The nurses turned
her on her stomach and she felt
a sharp pain. She yelled. Mama,
Mama. In a few seconds they were
gone, but mother was there, so
she forgot the pain.
But the nurses came back again.
At first, every ten minutes, then
every hour, every two hours. Al
ways the pain again and again,
but always there was mother, and
the child knew what was happen
ing had to happen, because her
mother would never let them hurt
her unless it was right.
All this time her face was still
swelling and one eye was swollen
shut. She didn’t cry any more
when they punctured her tender
body. She just looked at her mo
ther, and sometimes mother would
i take her hand. She didn’t like it,
and she would yell at mother to
help her but mother couldn’t help
her, so she just yelled at the nur
se instead, and by that time it
was all over for a little while.
One day, two days, three days;
needles, more needles; sulfa, more
sulfa, and sometimes when she
was not herself, mother would be
come frightened. When she was
herself again, she would play and
sing to the other children, prob
ably disturbing them more than
helping them, but she only wanted
them to be happy too.
The nurse came with the
needle, those needles this child
had become quite accustomed to,
and said, Well young lady, one
more time and you can go home.
The child looked up at her mo
ther and smiled, and this small
child, not four years old, just
turned over, and let the nurse
stick the needle into her already
sore body. Not one word, not a
yell, but a smile, as the nurse
finished, for her mother.
Mama, let’s go home now, the
child said.
That is the story. I thought it
was a good story, because it is a
true story. Surely it must make
us realize how great the pain
when we do not have COURAGE
WITHOUT FEAR!

Negro Leaders
Mourn Death of
Sidney Hillman
Negro leaders joined with labor
and other progressive forces in
mourning the death of Sidney
Hillman, chairman of the CTO Po
litics’ Committee and president of
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers Union, CIO. Hillman, the cen
ter of bitter controversy during
the 1944 presidential election, was
buried Friday afternoon (July 12)
following funeral rites at which
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise officiated
and Philip Murray, CIO president
delivered the eulogy.
Death came to the 59 year-old
labor leader/ on the morning of
July 10 as the result of a neart
attack. Although he had been in
his union office the day before, he
had been in ill health for months
due to a serious cardiac condition.
Indeed, he had not been well since
his return last winter from Paris
where he had been a prime mover
in the establishment of the World
Federation of Trade Unions.
Statements from Negro labor
officials, civic leaders and associ
ates hailed Hillman as a great
American, who despite discrimina
tory attacks, was a valiant cham
pion of minority rights.
The statements follow:
Willard S. Townsend, president
UTSEA-CIO
“In the passing of Sidney Hill
man., the American labor move
ment lost a consistent and valiant
champion. Rising above the attack
of racial bigots, he not only be
came one of America’s great la
bor leaders, but also sustained an
influential position in the interna
tional labor movement through his
invaluable contribution to the est
ablishment of the World Federa
tion of Trade Unions. Here at his
home he will long be remembered
for his sterling role in the found
ing of the CIO, in the fight for
the FEPC and in the leadership of
PAC. The United Transport Ser
vice Employees of America shares
with all trade unionists and other
progressives the deep loss sustain
ed by the death of Sidney Hill
man”.
Walter White, secretary of the
NAACP
“The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple sends you most profound sym
pathy in the death of your distin
guished husband. Few men in the
history of America have been sub
jected to such criticism because of
birth and race. America is a richer
place because he refused to be
daunted. We mourn his passing not
only for you but for all of Amer
ica”.
Congressman Adam C. Powell
The passing of Mr Hillman must
take its place as a national tra
gedy by the side of the passing of
Mr. Roosevelt. Both were people's
leaders. The loss is irreparablle.
Just as we who believe in Mr.
Roosevelt dedicated ourselves to
keeping alive his spirit so now we
must rededicate ourselves to keep
ing alive the spirit of Mr. Hillman’.
A. Philip Randolph president of
Brotherhood Sleeping Car Porters
AFL.
“Kindly accept my condolences
and heartfelt sympathy upon the
death of your illustrious husband
Brother Sidney Hillman. He was
a great American and labor lead
er”.
Eugene Kinckle Jones, general
secretary, National Urban League
“The cause of Democracy every
where and particularly American
minorities have lost a great cham
pion. Your husband was not only
a great citizen but a distinguished
statesman. The National Urban
League joins you in your grief
and extends deepest sympathy”.

RACE RELATION COUNCIL
SAYS MINORITY VETS ARE
DETOURED BY BIAS
It is still less than a year since
our veterans began to come home.
And in that brief time, sufficient
evidence has piled up to prove
that all the pretty speeches and
promises that were made while
the fighting was still going on
were not meant for the more than
a million Negro, Japanese Ameri
can and other minority veterans.
Discrimination as usual by gov
j ernment agencies, starting from
! the federal level and going all the
way down the line, is depriving
this more than a million veterans
of their benefits and privileges
supposedly guaranteed them un
der the G I Bill of Rights.
The ever mounting instances of
Jim Crow treatment of Negro war
veterans above and below the Ma
son-uixon nne is a national dis
grace. The American Council on
Race Relations has focused nat
ional attention on the problem. In
a survey of Veterans Information
Centers in 21 key cities in the
in the United States, the American
Council found evidence that min
ority group veterans, particularly
Negroes, were receiving service
and treatment in almost every
city studies. The situation was so
serious that the American Council
called together veterans’, civic
and religious organizations in a
national emergency conference on
minority veterans problems. This
was the first cooperative attempt
to bring all organizations together
to consider the plight of the min
ority veteran.
That the minority group veter
an was being discriminated again
st in his reconversion to civilian
life was well known and much lip
service was being given on behalf
of the problems he was having.
The effort to make a national is
sue of the plight of Negro, Jap
anese American and other minor
ity veteran deserves the commen
dation and the active support of
all who are interested in seeing
democratic treatment given to
those who gave so much so that
others might enjoy it.
Government agencies are now
well aware of the public indigna
tion with respect to their gross
neglect of the rights of minority
veterans. Nevertheless, the press,
church and civic organizations
throughout the nation should con
tinue to speak out whenever in
justice comes to their attention.
The American Council has started |
the ball rolling but only the con
tinued pressure is going to get
for the minority group veteran
the democratic treatment that he
so justly deserves.

j “Stanley R. Osborn Fund”
To Encourage Creative
Employment for Colored
Americans
STANLEY r. OSBORN
Benefactor Was Startled by
Huge Economic Loss To
Nation Due to Prejudice
Quote—Having no dependents I
feel free to bestow my savings
where it seems to me these will be
of greatest public benefit. In seek
ing this end I was startled by a
realization of the huge economic
loss to the Nation which comes
from one-tenh of its producers
being by reason of prejudice, fear
and tradition and their own ignor
ance, barred from creating more
than a fraction of the National
wealth of which they are capable.
It is therefore, my desire to do
what little I may to help Colored
Americans upward into a more
efficient and productive citizen
ship”.
In those words the late Stanley
R. Osborn, Nebraska born author
and newspaperman expressed his
reason for setting aside the bulk
of his estimated $100,000.00 estate
to be used for the training of
young Negro men and women who
seek employment in industrial en
terprises.
The contents of the Osborn will
and his remarkable understanding
of the problems encountered by
the Race group came as an ap
preciable surprise to the colored
populace.
Mr. Osborn, 69, who was a nat
ive of Blair, Nebraska, died June
25th at Duluth, Minn. He was a
graduate of the Blair High School
and attended the University of
Nebraska from 1897 to 1900. He
lived in Samoa while his father
was United States Counsul there.
It was then that he obtained at
mosphere for his successful novel,
Red Hair and Blue Sea, a popular
fiction work of the 1920's. Amorg
his other writings were: The Ser
pent and Mr. Henrdy’s Heavens:
Two Feet and a Thousand Miles;
On Rush St. Bridge; The Lonliest
Man God Ever Made; and The
Knife In the Door.
Mr. Osborn worked five years
for the Omaha Bee and the Daily
News and later for the Chicago
Tribune. He returned to Blair in
1920 and lived there until 1937.
During the last nine years he had
toured the South during the win
ter months and the Northern
States in summer.
In addition to the Educational
Fund, provisions were made in
the will for relatives and the Ne
braska State Historical Society.
The will was filed for probate in
the County Court June 29, 1946
and will come up for hearing July
27th. Other sections of the last
will and testament dealing with
the Osborn Fund are as follows:
”, .Said trustee shall thereafter,
as soon as any revenue begins to
be able, expend and use the in
come from the Stanley R. Osborn
Fund solely for the benefit of Ne
groes, giving effect to the follow
ing:
PROMOTE EMPLOYMENT
So long as conditions remain
about as present, I have a strong
preference for promoting the em
ployment and advancement of
young Negro men and women in
the manufacturing and other in
dustrial plants.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Therefore, whenever Negroes
are being granted a reasonable
opportunity in the skilled crafts
and technical professions for
which they have hgen trained, I
ask my said trustee to aid them
to gain, through scholarship, main
tenance or such other method as
may be selected by the trustee,
such skills, arts, trades and engin
eering and other techniques as are
in demand by the said industrial
plants. In so far as the University
of Nebraska offers reasonably
sufficient courses in such indust-1
rial and technical training, I ask
that it be given preference. But
if my said trustee shall become
convinced that better results in
this particular field may be ob
tained elsewhere, I ask that part
or all of the said Osborn income
be used to aid Negro students at
the Illinois Institute of Technolo
gy, 3300 Federal Street, Chicago, |
Illinois, or if satisfactory arrange
ments cannot be made there, then
at the Iowa State College, Ames, |
Iowa.
CITES FEPC
When, however, these crafts and
professions are in practical effect
closed to Negroes as they were pri-1
or to 1943 and the setting up of the
President’s Committee on Fair
Employment Practice, then the
said Osborn income shall go for
the above institutions in the order
named for whatever form of edu
cation such university regards as
offering the best opportunities for
Negroes at that time.
PREFERENCE TO
NEBRASKANS
As regards education aid, all de
tails as to its form, terms and
conditions, and method of select
ing beneficiaries, should be left
to the judgement of the school. I

ANNA ARNOLD HEDGEMAN?
Executive Secretary, National
Council for a Permanent FEPG
The headlines on June 25th dealt
with OPA extension and a host of
other matters. There should have
been one more item on the front
page of every paper: the anniver
sary of FEPC.
On that date in 1941 President
Roosevelt issued an executive or
der reaffirming the nation’s creed
of no job discrimination (a creed
more often by-passed than observ
ed.) Despite giant want ads, Ne
groes, Jews, and other minorities
were being refused job training,
up-grading and even union mem
bership. The situation was so ser
ious, in terms of community ten
sions, that A. Philip Randolph or
ganized a mass protest which soon
resounded in Congress and the
White House. Thus, out of the
struggle of one minority group an
executive order was born which
brought other minorities into its
scope.
The wartime FEPC had respons
ibility for discrimination in de
fense industries and government
This Committee developed techni
ques for consideration and inte
gration. But after constant snip
ing from Negro-baiting, Jew-bait
ing, labor-baiting congressmen,
the wartime FEPC went out of
official existence on June 30th.
On June 25th the National Coun
cil for a Permanent FEPC spon
sored rallies and meetings through
the country in order to focus ev
eryone’s attention on our reconver
sion to prewar discriminatory
practices. We want the country
to know that even the U. S. Em
ployment Service is now accepting
orders for "white only", "Gentile
only”, or "Protestant only”.
It was the hope of the National
Council that permanent legisla
tion could be enacted before the
wartime Committee was dissolved.
The National Council has, through
its 67 cooperating organizations,
been able to make the FEPC a
national issue in two years. . an
unusual achievement in the an
uals of Washington lobbying. Both
major parties felt compelled to in
sert an FEPC plank into their
platforms.
The bills introduced in the Sen
ate and the House were approved
by Committees of the respective
bodies. In the Senate, the bill ac
tually reached the floor; but after
the filibuster it was returned to
the calendar. In the House, the
Rules Committee voted to hold the
bill in committee. A discharge pe
tition, requiring 218 signatures,
which would bring the bill to the
House floor for discussion, lacks
43 signatures. But those very 43
missing signatures mean that nei
ther party has lived up to its pro
mises. The National Council made
June 25th a day of re-consecra
tion to the task of preparing for
action in the next Congress. Our
sogan is ‘Political Action at Home’
while congressmen and senators
are back in their districts for the
summer.
The National Council has two
strong arms—the 67 cooperating
organizations and the 98 local
councils. We are reorganizing our
executive committee to include
more representatives of national
organizations and other key peo
ple. We have set up a policy com
mittee. A planning committee is
working with us on a complete
study of our program, with a view
to strengthening it and giving
more adequate services to all in
terested groups.
Recently, from a refugee camp
in Germany a congratulatory
cablegram reached the United
Council of Church Women follow
ing its selection of a Negro mo
ther as the American Mother of
1946. ‘You have given hope to
the world", the cablegram said.
Imagine the hope which could be
given here at home if, after our
our observance of June 25th, we
create a national groundswell that
helps us pass federal legislation
against job discrimination. For in
the final analysis, "the right to
work is the right to live”.
