Vol. 29 No. 32Friday, October 7, 1955__ l6c~Per Copy
RESOLUTION
The following resolution was adopted unanimously by the
delegates to the chief stewards and president conference
held in Des Moines, Iowa, October 1, 1955.
WHEREAS the murder of 14-year old Emmett Till was a brutal
lynch act made by men who wish to enforce medieval practices of
segregation, and
WHERAS such an act, unpunished by the state in which the act
was committed, tends to serve notice on the country and the rest of
the world that the State of Mississippi refuses to adopt standards of
justice and common humanity, and
WHEREAS the hasty and thoughtless decision of jurors who
tried the two men, who obviously were guilty, demonstrates the lack
of regard the State of Mississippi has for the traditions of justice
which have evolved through the struggles of common people in this
country, and
WHEREAS the decision of the jurors was an act that shocked the
rest of the nation into realizing that a profound injustice is being
done to the Negro people and all humanity, and
WHEREAS it becomes obvious that, if justice is to be done, it
must be done by a higher authority than the State of Mississippi,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the delegates to the District
3, UPWA-CIO chief stewards and presidents conference on this first
day of October that we demand President Eisenhower call an emer
gency session of Congress and urge such session to pass legislation as
will give the federal government authority to prosecute such cases in
the future.

THREATENS TO'BOYCOTT
ANY DEBATE
_
United Nations, N. Y. (CNS) The
Union of South Africa brazenly an
nounced this week that if any
United Nations debate got under
way on the Union’s flagrant race
problems, then the Union would
boycott the meeting. The Union
claims that for nine years other
nations have been trying to attack
it for its treatment of Negroes and
Indians. This year, however, the
Union says it will not even discuss
the problem.
India has led in the attacks for
India argues that those Indians
now in South Africa went there as
laborers under an agreement guar
anteeing them equal treatment.
India says this agreement makes
the issue an international affair
subject to U. N. action.
How our tastes change. Little
girls like painted dolls; little boys
like soldiers. When they grow
up, the girls like the soldiers and
the boys go for the painted dolls.

Season
Theodore Roosevelt Post No. 30
American Legion advances into
the fall season with the same fine
spirit of genuine comradeship that
has served to keep us going ail

SOUGHT TO EMBRASS
STEVENSON VISITING
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
Houston, Texas (CNS) Despite
the fact that parts of his state have
already embraced the Supreme;
Court ruling outlawing segregation
in schools, Texas’ Governor Allan
Shivers made a bitter speech a- j
gainst the justices: “They stepped j
out of their judicial robes... Nine
men sitting 2,000 miles away are
not going to tell Crossroads, Texas
how they are going to run their
schools.”
Shivers, a thorn in the Democra
tic Party’s side for he bolted it in
’52 for Gen. Eisenhower and says
that in ’56 he will do the same if
Adlai Stevenson heads the ticket, i
made his speech at a time to par-1
ticularly embarrass the liberal
Stevenson on his visit to Texas
with high party talks with Senator
Lyndon Johnson and Speaker of
the House, Sam Rayburn.
Shivers says he sees the segre
gation issue a “political problem”
and one in a long series to bring
about “centralization of govern
ment.”
Fools admire, but men of sense
approve.

[Why Join Kellom In ’56?
Travelers
Seek Team
Talent
Practice sessions begin Saturday,
October 8. Omaha Travelers man
agement has announced that their
famous basketball organization will
hold their initial practice and try
out sessions for the 1955-56 team
at 6:00 p.m., on Saturday, October
8, at the Near North Branch YM
CA, 22nd and Grant Streets.
Regular members of the 1954
55 team as well as any man 18
years or over who would like to
join the Travelers team are urged
to make this initial practice and
meeting. All should bring their
own practice equipment.
Travelers’ manager, “Josh” Gib
son is anxious to acquire suitable
new talent, as several members of
the 1954-55 team, which had a
record of 15 and 1, have joined
the armed forces or are away at
tending college.
Says Mr. Gibson, “Every man
will get a fair and extensive try
out, and every position on the
team, except that of manager, is
open.”
Campy Made
Good In 3rd
Series Game
_
Brooklyn, N. Y. (CNS) The way
they were berating and lambasting
Roy Campanella for his ineffective
ness at the plate in the first two
days of the World Series, you
would have thought that Campy
needed to be sent back to the mi
nors, or that he was just plain
“chicken” when he saw those Yan
kee uniforms. But Campy’s third
game appearance was so complete
ly the opposite that it put the cri
tics to rout and to shame.
Campy’s “skid”—called one cri
tic on the catcher’s 0 for 8 times at
bat. “Slump-shackled” Campy ci
ted another as the reason the
Yanks would make it in four
straight.
Only Campanella himself wasn’t
worried. He knew the club would
snap out of it and that they had
n’t been playing that bad a ball.
Campy himself resounded beauti
fully with first-inning two run
homer — his second in two days j
and his forth of world series’ com
petition. Campy also got a hit
and brought across another run.
That should keep the critics quiet
for a while.

Western
Security
Is Discussed
A leading authority on political
science and American foreign
policy, Dr. Hans J. Morgenthau,
will discuss “Germany and West
ern Security” Wednesday even
ing at the University of Omaha
auditorium. —
The 8:15 P.M. meeting is the
second of six lectures to be pre
sented in the Institute on World
Affairs. This year’s program,
conducted for the tenth consecu
tive year by the University’s
College of Adult Edlucation and
History and Government depart
ment, is entitled “Since the Sum
mit.” It concerns the Geneva
conventions and their focal point
Germany, the key to disarma
ment, the European security sy
stem and immediate Soviet rela
tions.
Professor of political science
and Director of the Center for
the Study of American Foreign
Policy of the University of Chi
cago, Morgenthau taught Inter
national law at the Universities
of Geneva, Frankfort, Madrid
and Paris b e fore coming to
America in 1937. He became a
citizen in 1943.
While studying at Geneva,
Morgenthau was able to watch
the meetings of the League of
Nations and of the Disarmament
conference during the time Ger
many, Italy, and Japan started to
undermine international law and
ordert. His warnings appeared
in leading Swiss newspapers, and
he published two books which
contain the conclusions from his
Geneva experiences.
"What Hoppen To Giants?"
Wha’ hoppen’ to the Giants?
That’s the question everybody’s
been asking, and just as many
people think they know the
answer.
The editors of SPORT maga
zine, being an inquisitive bunch,
thought they might be able to
come up with a final and con
clusive reason for the collapse of
the champions if they inteirtoga
ted the right persons. And so
the current issue of SPORT car
ries the biased and unbiased
opinions of players, managers,
sport writers - infact everyone
from Leo Durpcher to the visit
ing team’s batboy.
The varied opinions make it
impossible to reach the single
conclusion for which the editors
hoped, but they sure got some
interesting reading material from
the com ments offered. Some
samples:
Stan Musial b e lieves that
Brooklyn’s spectacular spurt at
the start of the season “took all
the starch out of the Giants.”
As the readers of this column
probably already know, the Oma
ha Parks and Recreation Com
munity playground and meeting
center, the Kellom Community
Center; opened this week. By the
time this article is printed several
hundred boys and girls, men and
women will have registered for
the 1955-56 season -yet there are
several hundred more who have
not as yet registered. It is to you
that this week’s article is aimed.
If you are a parent, perhaps you
are asking yourself what you and
your family can gain by being a
community center patron, or if
you ane a bov or girl, you are per
haps wondering what activities
are being offered or what you
can do.
Of course to fully answer
these questions would probably
take several columns the length
of this one. However, we will
try to give you several of the
morte important reasons; but be
fore we do this, we would like to
say, “Why don’t you come on
over to Kellom and see for your
self?” Registration and the use
of the center’s facilities are free,
and to participate in most of the
center’s activities will cost you
nothing or a very nominal fee.
The center is open every day, ex
cept Sunday, from 3:30 to 5:45
for those 12 years and under; and
from 7:00 to 10:00 o’clock for
those 13 years and older.
Now back to the opportunities
offered at Kellom.
1. Every person needs a chance
to relax, have fun, to assoc
iate with his fellow man.
The center offers you this
opportunity, with abun
dance.
2. The center of a city-wide
effort to provide a chance at
recreation for everyone.
You can be assured that the
center’s personnel ire Quali
fied capable people who have
been hired for their abilities
and skill in their particular
job. They are doing some
thing that they want to do
and that they are trained
to do.
3. The center offers the indi
vidual a chance for self ex
pression in crafts, athletics,
music, dramatics, club work,
and games of all sorts.
4. Adults not only have a
chance to participate in ac
tivities but may serve as
coaches, teacher*. g r oup
sponsors, and may work
with the center’s personnel
in formulating center policy
by joining the Adult Council.
5. The city’s recreation pro
gram along with the school,
the church, the police de
partment and other public a
gencies are leading in the
fight against juvenile delin
quency and in helping the
youth of our community to
find a better way of life.
6. The Community Center is
just what it implies - a com
munity project. It belongs
to you, as a member of this
community; and it is your
duty to use it fully and con
structively.
7. If you have any problems in
recreation, parties, or if you
have need of facilities for
your clubs or if you or
your group is interested in
organizating a club along
recreational lines, just call
us; perhaps we can help you.
Contacts should be made at
the Kellom Community Cen
ter. 24th and Caldwell Sts.

“The Giants simply found out
they couldn’t pull a rabbit out of
the hat two years in a row,” is
the reason offered by Warren
| Spahn, veteran Milwaukee south
paw.
As for Manager Durocher: “I
; don’t think it takes a genius to
i figure out what happened to us.
j Look a it this way. We have a
! man on first, a man on second
| or a man on third this year,
i Who’s going to drive that man
.in? No one! Last year, everyone
■ on the club knocked him in. Now
; that we haven’t done anything
I at the plate, let’s go out in the
field. Okay, we suddenly need a
I great play. No one’s here to
make it. Last year we had a lot
of guys to make it. This year
| either one guy louses it up or an
other guy does. And if neither
i of them do, I do. You can blame
me as much as anyone else. I
deseitve it.”
