CHICAGO — Pinball is the mod

rame originally called “bagatelle,”
Which was very popular in the ’80’s
f>{ the last century. A novice can
play it as well as an expert. The
game is intriguing because of its
Infinite variety of action.
W. A. Patzer, shown above, chief
engineer of a member factory of
Coin Machine Industries, *Inc., here,
studied mathematics at the Univer

following interesting figures. On a
table having 12 bumpers and five
balls, a given player has one
chance in 720,000,000 of ever see
ing two games with ball action and
angles exactly alike. The possibil
ity of two identical games in every

> Dn Sterling V. Mead
A nation-wide program to make
dental care available for all chil
dren regardless of income or loca
tion is being urged by Dr. Sterling
V. Mead (above), of Washington,
D. C., new president of the Ameri
can Dental Association.
“We believe that the greatest
problem that now confronts us is
the care of children,” he said.
“Every child should have an annual
dental examination. If parents are
unable to meet the costs of dental
care for their children, it should be
provided by community health pro
grams.”
Dr. Mead said the dental associa
tion would seek aid from the new
congress for children’s dental care
and for a national dental research
institute in an effort to find new
means of prevention and control of
dental diseases.
He said, however, that the na
tion’s dentists are opposed to com
pulsory health insurance because
it would fail to improve the na
tion’s dental health.

NAACP. Urges President To Send
Impartial Committee To Germany
To Investigate A. M. G.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5th. .Brand
ing '‘a political smear of Negro
troops in Germany” the report of
George M. Meader. general coun
sel for the Senate War Investiga
ting Committee, Walter White,
NAACP Executive Secretary, on
December 3rd, sent an urgent te
legram to President Truman re
questing him, as Commander-in*
Chief of the Army, to send an
impartial, bi-racial commission to
Germany at once to investigate
the conditions described in Mea
der’s report. Said Mr. White:
“Certain members of the Sen
ate Committee to Investigate War
Expenditures are obviously more
interested in smearing the Negro
troops than in getting at the
truth.
“On December 2nd, Senators
Owen Brewster, Homer Ferguson,
William F. Knowland and Joseph
H. Ball placed copies of the Geo.
Meader report on the behaviour of
American occupation troops in
Germany in the Senate Press
Room. We are informed that two
employees of George Meader were
prsnt to hand out the report, and
this action was taken after these
four Senators had requested Sen.
Kilgore, chairman of the Commit
tee to release the report, and af
ter Senatore had called a meet
ing of the Committee for this
Friday, December 6th, to discuss
the report.
"We are informed that head
er’s report was based on the al
leged testimony of Colonel Fran
cis P. Miller of widespread mis
conduct of white and Negro troops
especially the latter, and an al
leged reoprt that American gen
erals were afraid to discipline
Negro troops because of political
repercussions.
“We are informed that Colonel
Miller requested correction of the
transcript of his testimony to
deny that he, at any time, stated
that American generals were a
fraid to discipline troops, and to
stress that the alleged misconduct
was ‘only true of a small minor
ity’. Meader is alleged to have
refused to permit correction of
the transcript
“The Inspector General of the
Army made a three months’ in
vestigation from mid-August to
Mid-November in contrast Hath
Meader’s report, which was avail
able to all members of the Senate
Committee, showed that only a
few American soldiers were guil
ty of misconduct.
“This kind of vicious propagan
da by reputable Americans, will
do irreparable damage unless it
is checked by inquiry. We urge
therefore, that without delay you
dispatch such a commission to'
Germany to get the truth.”
Mr. White dispatched another
telegram to the four Republican
members of the Committee, who
released this rport to th press,
requesting an eplanation of their
reasons for releasing the report.
Along with a statment that they
would not assume responsibility
for its accuracy.
Mike immediately recognized Joe
with a smile and said “Hello Joe”.
At the age of 66 Mike Jacobs is
the victim of his own tireless spi
rit. For at least three years, he
lias ignored the advice of doctors
ind friends to take it easy. Si
multaneously with the announce
ment that Jacobs had been stric
ken heavyweight champion Joe
Louis rushed to the hospital.
THI RG(K)I) MARSHA! L
RETURNS TO SCENE
OF NEAR-LYNCHING
NEW YORK, Dec. 5th..Thur
good Marshall, NAACP Chief
Counsel, returned today to Colum
bia, Tennessee, recent scene of
threatened violence against three
NAACP lawyers in which Marsh
all was the principal near victim.
In spite of the November 23rd
incident, in which Mr. Marshall
was arrested by eight fully armed
Tennessee law officers and carried
in one of their cars to a dark, lit
tle travelled Tennessee back road
the courageous NAACP attorney
is returning to appeal the recent
conviction of Lloyd Kennedy, 21
year old Negro bootblack, senten
ced to five years on a frame up
attempt t omurder charge after
the so-called riot in Columbia last
February 25th.
Mr. Marshall, only recently re
covered after a long illness deve
loped during the desparate NAA
CP campaign to rally the nation
behind the defense of the Colum
bia Negroes, whose property and
personal belongings were ruthless
ly destroyed by Tennessee State
Commissioner of Safety Lynn Bo
mar’s black jacketed troopers dur
ing a night of Nazi-like terror,
was obviously slated to become a
victim of the same uniformed ter
or, on November 18th, when the
car in which he was riding with
Z Alexander Looby and Maurice
Weaver was stopped on the high
way to Nashville. Only the quick
witted actiin of Loiby and Wea
ver, saved Marshall from what
may have been another attempt
at lynching. Instead of continuing
toward Nashville, the two attorn
eys followed the car carrying Mar
shall and the uniformed officers
along the obscure back road until
the officers apparently changed
their minds and returned to the
main road back to Columbia.

GOVERNORS BACK RENT CONTROLS
Miami Beach, Fla. (CNS) The National Governor’s Con
ference meeting here, gave executive sanction to a continu
ance of rnt controls for another year. The Governors! ex
pressed a preference for Federal controls during that per
iod, looking toward passage of rent controls by the various
state legislatures. The rent control law passed in Newr York
State was recommended as a model of the'type of legislation
necessary should the Federal rule be relaxed.

Of Firm To Negotiate

ALEXANDRIA, La... Disgusted
over deplorably low pay and re
fusal of their firm to enter into
contract negotiations with repre
sentatives of the AFL Organizing
Campaign, which would have as
sured them of increased wages
and generally improved working
conditions, fully a hundred color
ed, workers of Alexandria Steam
Laundry, Inc., walked off theii
jobs in bitter protest, and, sever
al days later employees of Black
man’s Laundry owned by the
Mayor of this city, sympathetic
ally ‘followewd suit'.
| in eacn case, the walkout ac

| expected firing of key workers
who favored unionization. Three
such workers had been dismissed
from their jobs at Alexandria
Sbdapn Laundry, which employs
about a hundred Negroes, and se
veral had been fired at Black
man’s for displaying “Join the
AFL” buttons, when the respec
tive mass departures occured.
Acts Reflect Dissatisfaction
While the walkouts, both spon
taneous. were unauthorized, they
do reflect the total dissatisfaction
of the workers and their grim
determination to better their eco
was deluged with letters and tele
grams from all parts of the nation
denouncing the Klan like techni
gue used against the attorneys no
noticeable action has been taken.
Before leaving New Yor. Mr.
Marshall announced that he would
attend the Bilbo hearings in Jack
son, Mississippi immediately af
ter presenting the appeal for a
new trial for Kennedy in Colum
bia. Declaring that “the spectacu
lar courage of the Negro witness
es, most of them members of lo
cal NAACP branches, has not yet
been realized by the nation. Mr.
Marshall added, “the historic pro
portions of the hearings, in the at
tempt to oust Bilbo from the Sen
ate will reverberate throughout
the world. And the eyes of every
U. N. Delegate are fastened on
the Mississippi hearings”. Mr. Mar
shall will represent the NAACP in

who was forced to leave Jackson
in order to take care of pressing
business in Washington today.

At that time, a series of con
ferences by AFL officials with

recognition of the union for the
disgruntled workers, but, on the
other hand, the Alexandria Steam
Laundry had made an effort to
avert the effects of the walkout
by hiring “scab'’ workers, who, it
has been proved by photastic

This Committee’s chief aim is
to maintain good conditions in
places where beer is sold. We
offer suggestions for improv
ing practices in the belief that
the best informed beer retail
ers are the ones most likely to
operate their places to conform
> ivith the public interest.
?or example, we cautio'n
f against premitting loud and
boisterous conduct among pa
trons, and we remind retailers
that loud music from a radio
or nickelodeon may be annoy
ing to neighbors and passersby.
We urge that the beer retailer
keep firm control of his place
at all times.
Specific complaints against the
few offending beer retailers
are reported by our field man.
A letter of warning and advice
goes to the retailer. A “thank
you” and a pledge to make im4
mediate correction nearly al
ways comes back to us. Only
rarely is it necessary to follow
through with more severe
action against those who do not
operate in the right way. '**

the organizational efforts recent
ly have been centered here be
cause for years, Alexandria has
been poorly organized in practi
cally all crafts with the result
that workers generally in this
city receive some of the lowest
wages paid anywhere in either
the state or the South as a whole.
Says Results Encouraging
Despite the conflict which de
veloped over organizational ef
forts here, Zack Ramsey, AFL
organizer, who made the contacts
with the workers of two of this
city’s largest laundries, said sen
timent for unionzation among the
workers is so great that it seems
an inevitability. However, he ex
plained, this zeal is chiefly evi
■ dent among the Negro workers as
the white employees were unwill
ing to submit to unionization and
flatly rfused to sign authorization
cards for the union. Offsetting
this, Mr. Ramsey revealed was
the fact that the colored workers
unanimously signed authoriza
tions.
Whereas, at first, the lone trou
ble involved Negro workers, it
has been reliably reported that,
last week a white worker was
fired at the Alexandria Steam
Laundry because she would not do
the work of colored employees
who had walked out, while "two
other w-hite employees reportedly
quit in protest over the firing of
that worker.
Intimidation Reported
In the past, it was learned thru
labor organizers, women laundry
workers have worked from 57 to
60 hours a week for as little as
14 to $20 under the most trying
conditions made adverse by com
pany foremen and bosses, with
some pententiary parolees having
been known to be assigned by lo
cal authorities to work in the
plants.
Shortly after the walkouts, se
veral Negroes were arrested but
later released on bonds, with,
other forms of intimidations and
threats prevalent.
