WALTER WHITE TO WRITE COLUMN FOR DAILY PAPER A “first" in the history of news naper publishing in the United States was achieved with the ini tial publication this month by mass circulation newspapers of a weekly column bv an American Negro leader, Walter White, secy, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple. Particioatihg in this trail-blaz ing event were representativ news papers with a combined total cir culation in excess of 2.500 000 daily. Thev were the New York HFRALD-TFTBUNE: the Akron BEACON JOURNAL: the Phila delphia EVENING BULLETIN the Chicago DAILY NEWS: the Detroit FREE PRESS: the New ark STAR-JOURNAL; the Tren ton TIMES: and the Mansfield (Ohio) NEWS JOURNAL. The Walter White column is un der consideration by a number of other publishers who are awaiting public reaction in its initial appear ance. Originally projected as a thrice-weely commentary on the *ews of the day with especial em phasis on the field of race rela tions. the newsprint shortage, which has caused many newspa pers to throw out advertising and severly curtailed the amount of Space they were able to devote to features, has made necessary the change to once-a-week. , In the current column, White writes on “The Negro Vote” and sees no perceptible drift back to th$ GOP. He concludes that “the present temper of Negro voters is to ignore party labels completely and to vote independly on the re' cords of the candidates”.

I —Booker T. Washington City Improvement Plan Is Progressive Movement Omahans who have long turned their noses up at the city’s dusty, creaking auditorium will have a chance to do something about it at the November 5 election. E. F. (Gene) Agee, general chairman of the City-Wide Im provement Plan today pointed out that a bond issue of $3,540,000 for a big and modern auditorium is i a leading issue among the 14 im provement projects to be voted upon. Objective of the improvement program is to develop Omaha into one of the nation's progressive ci ties. The City - Wide Improvement Plan committee recommended that the new auditorium should be an all-purpose building,” said Mr. Agee. ‘ It should be air condition ed and there must be ample park ing space available for use not only while the auditorium itself is in use but for public parking day or ight, which would make it possible to secure additional re venue”. Mr. Agee said that the com mittee believes that a properly operated auditorium not only would pay all of its operating ex penses but it also would produce a sufficient surplus to take care of improvements and upkeep. The proposed civic center, rough ly governing the area between the post office building and the Jos lyn Memorial, has been deemed the logical site for a new auditor ium. Voters must also decide by spe cial ballot if they wish to have the proposed auditorium governed by a non-partisan commission to su pervise the carrying out of the project. A second improvement project to be put to vote is the proposed construction of an $185,000 naval armory. The proposal developed follow ing an announcement of the navy plan to train in this area a re serve force adequate to man one ship. It is expected that the naval re serve will produce for Omaha an I annual payroll of from $250,000 to j $300,000, representing the pay for J permanent naval officers in charge ! and the salaries of an estimated 1000 local participants. Mr. Agee declared that the type of structure required to serve the navy will be so designed and con j structed as to include a drill hall and gymnasium, shops, school rooms, movie projection room, of j fices, and lockers and gunnery j facilities. A site at Carter Lake Park I has been recommended for the building although an exact loca tion has not been set. Urging Omahans to keep in mind the city-wide- improvement plan’s slogan "Omaha Vision is Your Decision”, Mr. Agee recom mended that voters go to the polls early in the day in view of the great number of ballots to be marked. There will be a separate ballot for each project in the improve ment program. In addition to the auditorium and armory, other projects to be voted upon include ci%'ic center; public market; Airports; river-rail ter minal and river transportation; fire stations; police stations; grade crossings and viaducts; streets, boulevards, and traffic signals;' parking; parks, playgrounds, and recreation; municipal garages; and sanitation.

MUD Offiolis Slate In a statement released this week officials of the Metropoli tan Utilities District MaphaMavd that Omaha citizens wlU NOT? be Ieciding whether the Ss to lave manufactured or Natural Obis in the future. They point out Ihpt regardless of the election ou|pome. Omaha will be forced to ctmpgc from 50 percent to 75 pwer.t Natural Gas next summer, la or der to meet the urgent demands for more gas. The choir* la be tween 75 percent Natural Gas or straight Natural Gas. The Utilities District bad to curtail all new Installation of gas heating this summer because the present gas plant capacity had been reached. "Omaha is now using a 80 per cent mixture of Natural Gas, and this mixture must be inOBHMd to 75 percent if voters do not ap prove full Natural Gas November 5th”, the statement says. “Gas engineering authorities j have advised the city that a 75 percent mixture would be only a temporary measure and that with in a few years Omaha would have no choice but to go to full Natural Gas service. Putting off the de cision to go to full Natural Gas would practically double the changeover expense”. The statement says that “Ap proving full. 100 percent Natural Gas now will assure abundant gas at lowest cost, for all rurooses in the future and will avoid fur ther inconvenience, expense and difficulty as Omaha’s gas demands increase through the years’’. District officials fear that the small Natural Gas ballot mav be ’ost or ignored by voters among the stack of ballots that will be handed them at the polls Novem ber. For this reason. We District is publishing pictures of the bal lot and its text in the various newspapers oublished and circu lated in Omaha, in an effort to familiarize citizens with the ap pearance of the Natural Gas pro posal and its significance. “we expect this movement to ex pand t obecome the most power ful liberal or progressive organi ation ever brought together in the history of this country”.

Jo Dividson, Clark Fore man and James Patton, president of the National Farmers Union would comprise the Nomination Committee with Kroll acting as chairman. ' DAVIS RECOMMENDS JAMES J.
