Police (Continued from 'pagej£gr,l) my right arm and twisted it be hind my back, and walked me down the street, continually twist ing my wrist. He asked me was I discharged and I told him yes. When I said yes, that is when he started beating me with the billy, hitting me across the top of my head. After that, I grabbed his billy and wrung it out if his hand. He ran behind my back and grab bed my arm again. I had him by his right shoulder. After that an other policeman came up and drew his gun on me and told me to drop the billy or he would drop me, so I dropped the billy. “After I dropped the billy, the second policeman held his gun on me while the other one was beat ing me as we were walking down the street. I did not see anyone on the street. When we got to the door of the police station, he hit me again and knocked me uncon scious. After I commenced to come to myself, he hollered get up. When I started to get up, he started punching me in my eyes with the end of his billy. I finally got up. I could still see for a few minutes as I can remember, because I was hardly conscious. ‘‘A few minutes after he locked me up, he came in and threw me my purse. He went back out and locked the door. I picked out a cot and lied down. “I woke up the next morning \ou don’t appreciate howj wonderful sleep is until you. have had one or two wakeful nights.

After that, a policeman came to the door and opened it and told me to come out. He said ‘let’s go up here and see what the judge wants’ I told him that I could not see how to come out, I was blind. He said, feel your way out’. I did not make any move to come out so he came i in and led me to a sink and told. me to wash my face. He then led me up to the judge, and the judge said to me, ‘You were raising sand on the bus last night stubborn' So I said to him .‘no. sir’ and then told him what happened. After I told him what happened, he said, ‘We don’t have that kind of stuff down here’. After he said that, the policeman spoke and said, ‘He wrung my billy out of my hand, and I told him that if he did not drop it, I would drop him’. That is how I knew it was the same policeman as had beat my eyes I out. “After that, the judge spoke and said, ‘I fine you $50 or 30 days on the road’. I said that I would pay the $50 but I did not have the $50 at the time. So the policeman said You have some money there in in your wallet’. He took my wal let and took all I had out of it, which was a total of $40 and took $4 from my watch pocket. I had a check for $694.73 which was my mustering out pay and soldiers deposit. He said to me ‘Can you see how to sign this check—you have a government check’. I told him ‘No sir’ so he gave it back to me after that. ‘He took me back and locked me up in the jail. I stayed there for a while and after a few min utes he came in and asked me if I wanted a drink of whiskey—if j I took a drink of whiskey I would ! probably feel better. I told him no j sir, I did not car for any. He went j and got some kind of eye medicine ' and came back and poured it in both my eyes. He went and got | a hot towel and spread it across my head. I stayed for the rest of the day until about 5:30 that even ing. I could tell about what time I it was because I asked a police man and he told me it was late.! I do not know if that was the same one or not. At that time he came in and got me and told me that We're going t otake you to the hospital’. I did not hear anyone Maher-Kelleher !

When I got there, the doctor was not in at the time so he laid me on a bench. A nurse took my name and asked him what was the matter. The policeman told him that I was raising a disturbance on the bus and drunk. The doctor asked the policeman was I drunk then, and he said no. So the doctor had an attendant carry me in a room and the attendant undressed me and put me to bed. “About 5 or ten minutes after I was in bed, the nurse came and started giving me shots in my arm. ‘One of the contact men came around one day and told me they were going to take out a pension for me. I believe that the doctor who cared for me was named Dr. Clarence. I told him what had hap pened to me. He made no comment I but told me I should join a blind' school. "I stayed in the hospital for two months. I went in on the 13th of February and came out on the 13th of April. My sisters came down to see me, and since they discharged me while they were down there, they brought me back to New York to my father’s home in the Bronx, where I am still staying. Walter White, executive secret ary of the NAACP, who as a war correspondent and special obser ver for the War Department vi sited Negro troops in both the European and Pacific Theatres during World War II stated: -For sheer bestiality and fascist terror the terrible story told by young Woodard is without parallel in all my experience. This man served his country for four years, fifteen months of that time in the South Pacific where he managed to live through and accept all of the hor rors of jungle warfare only to return to what he had been told was a grateful nation. Here in the homeland he’d fought for and pro tected he was given a taste of that gratitude by southern policeman who maimed him for life”. Dr. Chester W. Chinn, well known eye specialist who examin ed Woodard’s eyes at the request of the NAACP declared that there was absolutely nothing that me dical science could do for the vet. “The boy’s eyes are completely hopeless”, stated Dr. Chinn. The War Department which was asked to conduct" an investigation into Woodard’s case by the Nat iinal Association for the Advance ment of Colored People in May, has had nothing to say in the case.

Today, as the company enters its third month of service it is being re vealed that the promise Mrs. Hampton made is being fulfilled. The president of the firm felt that through the organization of Hamp tone, Negro business men owuld be able to enter the recording field in the role of distributors. Over 60 Negro businessmen have made requests to Hamptone re cords for distributorship. A number have already quali fied and are busy establishing themselves, while many more are being considered. According to Mrs. Hampton, the deep south is still virgin territory and the new company is planning an intensive drive in this section of the coun try.

The first releases of eight sides include numbers by the Hamptone All Stars with Milton Buckner and Arnett Cobb being featured; Wy nonie Harris (Mr. Blues) and Roy Milton and his sextet. So great is the popularity of the numbers that the company is having trouble keeping up with the orders which continue to pour in. Records have hit the Pacific Coast and the Mid-West but are just beginning to seep into the South and East. Mrs. Hampton in making an appeal for Negro bus iness men who desire to enter the field has urged that they write her.

NEGRO SOPRANO FLIES TO MEXICO FOR GRAND OPERA DEBUT Ellabelle Davis, first of her race to be starred by famed Opera Nacional, will sing two performan ces of "Alda” at Palace of Fine Arts. Departing from Newark Airport last night (Thursday. July 11th), at 8:05 p. m., Daylight Saving Time, via Eastern Air Lines, Ella belle Davis, the noted American Negro soprano, flew to Mexico City for an event of major news significance to the world of music and to her race; her grand opera debut in the title role of Verdi’s "Aida” as the first American Ne ro ever to have been starred by Mexico’s famed Opera Nacional, one of the major opera companies of the world regularly calling up on the services of top ranking stars of the Metropolitan, La Sea la Milan and other centers of the lyric art. Miss Davis, who will make two appearances as Verdi's captive Ethiopian princess at Mexico Ci ty's historic Palace of Fine Arts on July 23rd and 27th was invited by the Opera Nacional to assume the role as a result of the specta cular success which she scored in concerts in the Mexican capital last summer, when she was obliged to give six recitals to SRO audi ences at the Belles Artes within four weeks. Following her operatic appear ances in Mexico City, Miss Davis will embark on an extensive con cert tour of Central and South America, to include more than 20 recitals and appearances as sym phony orchestra soloist in all of the principal Latin-American ci ties during August and Septem ber.

Things looked bad for Store in the 1st inning when Triggs erred an infield fly ball to allow two runs for Falstaff but He made up for it by knocking a three-bagger and a home run. Begining battery for Store was Peak and Gibson and the latter was doing a jam-up job of cov ering the home sack. Best I’ve seen him in a long time. The bat tery of Hill and Harris, (which is always on the ball) held that one run lead. And let me not fail to mention that Harris who played left field at the start of the game, was catching everything that came out his way that didn’t grow.
