Ask Bill To Permit Governor Peterson To Appoint Child Law Committee The task ahead of Nebraskans to provide better laws for their children is too important for any one man to undertake and too big to expect it to be done by a jroup of volunteers. In brief, this is the reason the Nebraska Welfare Association has asked that legislators now in ses sion at Lincoln support the pass age of a bill to permit the gov ernor appointing a committee to study children’s laws. Not only would the committee work toward the establishing tit a more adequate state children/* Nebraska’s Well-Regulated Taverns Why k the selling of beer in Nebraska usually as clean and law-abiding as the selling of other products through retail Mores? One reason is the Nebraska Committee of the U. S. Brewing Foundation. This Committee maintains an ac tive program of education to help all beer retailers operate in such a way that they are a real credit to their communi ties. Cooperating with law en forcement agencies, the Com- ■ mittee insists that the Nebras ka liquor control laws be up held. When a violation is ob served, a letter of caution goes to the retailer. In the few cases that a retailer persists in operating to the discredit of the industry and against the public welfare, appropriate action is sought through legal authorities. These activities- steadily raise Nebraska tavern conditions. NEBRASKA COMMITTEE H United States Brewers Foundation Charles E. Sandall, State Director 710 First Nat’l Bank Bldg..

Members of the committee would be appointed by the governor on the basis of their interest, qualifications and experience. Eleven would be ap pointed. This would be done with in 60 days after effective date of the act. The committee would make its recommendations to the governor for transmittal to the 1949 regu lar session of the legislature. Working with the Nebraska Welfare Association insupporting the measure is the Child Care Sub-Council of the Omaha Com munity Welfare Council. “Nebraska was one of first states to adopt progressive legis lation for its dependent, neglected and delinquent children,” Mrs. Herman Cohen, chairman of the Sub-Council, declared. “However, this was back in 1905. There were revisions made in 1917 and again in 1927. “But in the last 20 years the state has been putting on patches trying to make the best of un workable situations. There are many examples than can be tsld of conflicting and concurrent Jur isdiction which make it impracti cal to try to correct the problem by trying to put on more patch es.’ FOUR ESQUIRE MEDALS TO BE RECEIVED ON "KING COLE TRIO TIME, JANUARY 18 Four group and individual me dals have been won by the King Cole Trio in the annual Esquire Jazz Awards, as announced in the 1947 Esquire Jazz Book.

Williams, submitted a petition for clemency in behalf of Gener al Prisoner, Alfred Hayes, to the Secretary of War. Mayes, a Ne gro former Private of Headquar ters, Service Company, 298th Air Base Security Battalion. was charged with the violation of the 93rd Article of War—“assault with intent to commit the crime of rape.” He was found guilty as charged by a General Court-Mar tial on the 30th and 31st days of January, 1945. He was sentenced , to be dishonorably discharged and I to be confined at hard labor for 20 years. The petition pointed out that the prosecueion had failed to estab lish the intent necessary for con viction of the crime for which Hayes was tried and convicted. It was further alleged that Hayes had never been identified as the attacker beyond the reasonable doubt required by law. The re viewing oard was called upon tc consider the testimony of the com pijljainting witness as sgpet in view of her obvious prejdice again st Negroes. A statement of this complaining witness appearing in the reord to the effet that “I don’t stand Negroes in the first plae” was ailed to the attention of the Board. The petition went on to say that even assming that Hayes had as salted this witness, the court could not presume that such assault was for the purpose of committing the crime of rape. “It would be just as logical a presumption that it was perpetrated for the purpose of committing robbery . . . Something more than mere assault by a Ne gro male upon a white female must be shown to establish the commission of this crime.” It was stated further that “American military courts, particularly in view of the present universal cri ticism being leveled thereat by thegeneral public, should do all within their power to assure in dividuals brought before its bar of justice, be they black or white, every right; guaranteed to them y our American principles of law. This was not done in the instant case.” The petition concluded by re questing that the Clemency Board do all within its power to right this wrong by granting to General Prisoner Hayes a “full remission of the remaining portion of his sentence of confinement and an opportunity to re-enlist in the ser vice of his country and earn an honorable discharge therefrom.” MODERN AI RES WITH PAULA KELLY GUE8T STAR ON KING COJ-E TRIO TIME, JAN- 18 One of the country’s top vocal groups—the Modemaires with Paula Kelly—will guest star with “the best small band in the land” on ‘‘King Cole Trio Time," Satur day, Jan. 18, at 5:45 p. m.

AGAINST JIMCROW BOWLING WOL BACKS UAW FIGHT NEW YORK—Asserting that 'elimination of racial discrimina tion in recreation is as important as elimination of racial discrimin ation in employment,” the Work ers Defense League supported the United Auto Workers-C'IO in its refusal to sponsor bowling teams this season unless the American Bowling Congress ends its jim crow policy. Rowland Watts, associate WDL secretary, served notice on Wil liam N. Balu, head of the bowling congress, that the "WDL will call j upon its membership and branch es to support the UAW action. Actually bowling alleys do no: j permit interracial teams in tour naments and do not recognize any average unless it is established in tournaments under sponsorship of the bowling congress. And the constitution of the congress says 'City associations shall be com posed of teams with a membership of three or more Individuals or the white male sex.” W.

"Through our combined efforts, we shall sustain the courage of the aver age Greek in the great battle he is making for recovery and free dom,” the letter concludes. *T couldn't refuse this appoint ment after learning of the appall ing need for help in Greece as a result of five years of war and invasion and its terrible destruc tion there,” Mr> Swanson said. “1 am confident the people of Oma ha will respond generously to the appeal to help these millions of homeless men, women and chil dren who lack even the barest necessities.” The campaign will be in two divisions, Mr. Swanson said.j George Petros is local chairman of the Greek-^American division which has undertaken to raise $6,000 from Omaha’s 317 residents of Greek birth and descent.

HAWKINS Talking The near Northside YMCA box-~ ers will have excess to the Cen tral YMCA gymnasium two days a week in preparation for several amateur boxing tournaments. The tournaments are the Golden Gloves, the Senior AAU, the Jun ior AAU and the YMCA State meet. The near Northside fighters have been working out in the base ment of the Lake st. fire barn. They are Lex McNack, heavy weight; John (Play Boy) Good win, middleweight; Tom (Sugar) Dooley, welterweight and James (Slasher) Gregory, featherweight. The coach and manager being yours truly (The Hawk). Assist ants are James Watson and John Cook. Watson, 1946 middleweight king, has not turned pro. John Cook, cousin to (The Hawk) is no slouch with the mitts himself. Fhy director, Travis Dixon and Su pervisor John R. Butler play a great part in the success of these boys who thus far to date has swept through the test of compet ition the middlewest can offer. In the professional world of boxing we have added another champion to our list. Harold Dade is the name. Dade won the bantamweight championship of the world by beating Manuel Or tiz in California recently. Dade who ranked No. 32 in the bantam class fought as a 12 to 1 under jdog. More power to you Mr. Dade. Omaha's Joe Hartfield will meet fa tough opponent in the person of \ Pat McCafferty oh the Jan. 20 ! fight card at the City Auditorium. Keep the leather flying Joe. It iooks as if Larry Watson, Omaha's lightweight belter is fin ally going places. Larry in a re cent bout at Kansas City defeated Ray Agusta, a highly regarded boxer, in a 10 round main event. Watson is now preparing for a bout with the world’s middle weight title holder Tony Zale. The fight will be staged at Kansas City. Larry is handled by his uncle (Onestep) Watson, former middleweight contender. Lots of luck Larry boy. Omaha's heavyweight Tex Bod die has started back training again. I believe that he has add ed a few more pounds which will go a long way in steadying him I for tough competition. | Did you know that Tex is now rated No. 16 among the big fel lows? Longer strides to you Tex, on your journey to success. Did you know that Mr. and Mrs. Russell Cook are the No. 1 fight fans of Northside Omr.hfi. ( They never miss a show.

Hawkins NAACP FIGHTS TO SAVE YOUTHS FROM CHtAIR NEW YORK—With the denial by Governor Fielding L. Wright, of Mississippi, of the clemency appeals of two fifteen-year old boys, Charles Trudell, and James Lewis the electric chair from which they were spared on Dec. 13 through NAACP action in their behalf may yet claim them on Jan- 17. Charted with murdering their white employer the two boys were granted a temporary reprieve from the chair by the Governor, pending an investiga tidh of the facts. Since the inves tigation did not result in the ex pected commutation of sentence, the NAACP, through its attorney in Mississippi, Walter D.
