WDL PROTESTS BLOCKING
OF SCHOOL FOR MIGRATORY
WORKERS’ KIDS
CRANBURY, N. J—The block
ing by „nU-Negro elements of a
state-sponsored school for migra
tory workers’ kids here was pro
tested by Rowland Watts, acting
national secretary of the Work
ers Deiense League.
The school board had promised
use of its buildings, but reversed
itself after a "citizens protest
rally" which ace’ised Negroes,
98 per cent of the workers, of
LCOWTlMCMrAt. f' fOA — •

Watts wired state o fficials:
| "Urged you back up original de_
, cision of local school board to re
' sist discrimination against these
| children.’'
The activities of the WDL are
well known here in Cranbury. It
is still recalled how the League
in 1940 won $9,000 damages for
seven migratory workers who
were assaulted by a mob.

COST OF RATS HIGH
Meet Skulky, the rat.
You might as well get better
acquainted with the filthy gray
; destroyer. You and fellow Oma
i hans are supporing him and his
family—at an estimated cost of
$4,400,000 per year.
City-County Health Director
Dr. L. L. Fatherree estimates that
Skulky has about 200 thousand
equally filthy relatives in Omaha.
Multiply that by $22, the Depart
ment of Agriculture’s pre-war es_
i timate of the value of food eaten
and property destroyed by a rat in
one year.
The total is $4,400,000.
garbage main fare
Skulky’s country cousins are '
even more destructive, Dr. Fath- j
erree said. They eat grain, whily i
j Skulky dines largely on garbage. |
Dr. Fatherree urged prompt ac. !
J tion to stamp out Skulky and his !
kin. Omaha s rat problem “can
continue to row unless something
is done about it,” he said.
Omahans don't bother Skulky
much. In fact, they often give him
food and lodging by leaving the
covers off garbage cans and al
lowing trash to accumulate in the
back yard or the basement.
He is free to ' gnaw on food
stuffs, destroy property, spread
disease and produce more rats.
may menace health
Dr. Fatheree says Skulky and
his relatives are a “potential
health menace.” They spread
polio, typhu7-ini}sctious jaundice '
and other sewage and filth-borne
diseases.
How can Or:alians make things !
tough for Skulky and his brood?
Dr. Fatherree says it will take
a "well organized community
wide program devoted entirely to
rat control.’ He wishes some civic
group, “strong enough to tackle
a tough job and stick with it,”
would volunteer.
To control rats, you have to be
smarter and better organized than
they are. Dr. Fatherree said. .
People aren't always able to meet
those qualifications.
CAN WE GET ALONG
WITH RUSSIA?
Zerita Thrower (Peace Caravan)
Since we are now living in an
atomic age millions of people
know how too tragic another war
would be. When the Town Meet
ing of the Air asked its vast
radio audience “Does our foreign
policy lead us toward peace or
war?” Every 7 out of 10 repons- j
es de dared that the United
States policy was leading toward
war. The question in everyone's
mind now is—How can we keep
the peace ?
Although Russia entered the
war very late it was she that
helped to end the war quicker
than it would have been. It was 1
she that broke through the Ger
man lines. The entire world re
joiced then and praised Russia,
all of a sudden bang! the tables '
turned and we have turned a
gainst our former allies. If we '
can get along with her during
a war we can surely get along
with her in the peace.
Russia is without doubt a great
power. She emerged from the I
war as one of the victor nations. '
Although she has been denied
the atomic bomb and warm
water outlets, she is annoyed
with many fears. Russia knows
what war is. Her fear grows out
of anguish and suffering. Dur
ing this war she lost 15,000.000
men. Tl^g United States only lost I
a quarter of a million of men.
Much of Russia’s soil was de
vastated and her people left
homeless and helpless due to the
Nazis invasions. ,
Now Russia is seeking to ob
tain control of the Straits of
Dardanelles which is the gateway
to the Black Sea. We can take
for granted that Russia, feeling
more than ever that it is a great
Power will ask for the prere
quisites of great power on a
basis of equality with Britain and
the United States. If Britain and
the United States show an mer
est in the internal affairs of Rus.
sia’s neighbors (Bulgaria and
Rumania) Russia sees no reason
why he shouldn’t show some in
terest in the affairs of Latin
America or Greece. j
This sort of game of tag could j
■go on forever with grow i no-1
danger to the World Peace. The ]
only way to stop this is to have
all nations conform to the prin
ciples of the United Nations.
PvtWoods,
Continued From Page I,
attorney, and Carlos Ramos, ex
ecutive secretary of the Philip
pine Lawyers Guild who uncover
ed most of the on-the-spot
evidence being presented at'the
trial and who flew back to this
country from the international
Lawyers Conference in Brussels
to Le on hand when the proceed
ings opened.
Former star witness for the
prosecution, John Hicks, was so
vague about the events which
took place on the morning of the
shooting that the prosecutor was
forced to impeach his own wit
ness. Hick told a story at vari
ance to the talk he had only
several days previously with the
prosecutor. It was Hicks who
testified that he had seen Woods
lift Patterson, heard him say
“wake up ’’ and then saw Woods
shoot his tentmate. Hicks, at the
time of the shooting, was in his
tent 100 yards away lying down.
The stories of two star witness
es for the prosecution were torn
apart in cross examination by
Goodman with regard to the
confession Woods had allegedly
made. Two Criminal Investiga
tion Dept, agents who claimed
they took the confession several
days after the shooting could not
agree to whether Woods had us
ed the word "murder,” one re
calling that he hadn’t paid much
attention to the conversation and
wasn't quite sure what Woods
had said. There was no such
testimony by him in the trans
crip of the court martial.
Important in determing wheth
er the shooting was accidental or
murder, as contended by the pro
secution, would be the distance
from which the shot was fired.
However, Dr. Bray O. Hawk, who
performed the autopsy upon Pat
terson and whose testimony was
accepted without question at the
Manilla trial, under questioning
admitted that he knew very little
about the highly specialized
field of ballistics and other relat
ed matters, that he could not
qualify as an expert in medico
legal matters as were involved in
this case.
Identified by Jack Waddy, an
exsergeant who served with
Woods’ company, was the bullet
tornnet which covered the cot of
Patterson at the time of he shoot,
ing. The holes in the net refute
the testimony of Hicks who had
stated that Woods lifted the net
before shooting the sleeping GI.
The trial is expected to last for
another week. Confidence was ex
pressed by the Lemas Woods De- ,
fnse Committee of the Civil
Rights Congress, that on the
basis of the proceedings so far,
the soldier would surely be freed.
U. S. OUTPUT HALF OF TOTAL
Indusrial output in the United
States has jumped from 23 to 50
per cent of the world total dur
ing the past 75 years. This isr e
ported by World’s Business and
Guide, the export business pub
lication.
The formula responsible for
this sharp increase is more pro
ductive power, more tools and
machinery, plus technical know
how.
An American factory worker
now uses six thousand dollars
worth of equipment and four
horsepower of electrical and
mechanical energy several times
that of the world average.
Showing how the formula pays
off in higher living standards,
these statistics are given:
The United States, with 7 per
cent of the world’s population
has 80 per cent of the automo
biles in the world and 60 per cent
of the telephones. It has 54 per
cent of the refrigerators and 42
per cent of the radios. Current
factory wage rates in the United
States are almost double thos«
of Canda, the next highest, and
approximately five times that of
Czechoslovakia and Russia.
One of the immediate causes of
current economic ills, the publi
cation says, is war damage to in
dustrial facilities. But a more
basic reason is the failure of
world manufacturing to keep
pace with advances in tool and
machine efficiency.
As a result, machinery has
moved into the No. 1 spot among
United States exports and de
mand for American technical
know-how is equally high.
Mrs. Jacqueline Pruitt, who his
been ill in St Joseph’s hospital is
convalescing at home, 2436 Grant
it
This is the only way for a strong
world government which has got
to come in the very near future.
If not there are two alternatives
—war or peace. Which will you
choose ?
