Board in subsequent cases. More¬
over, with increasing demand for
the amendment of the National

Their repertoire must be a va¬

In the search for such a
foursome Miss Moir met Guis-
eppe Balistrieri, a famous sing
er in hi s own right and a
(teacher of a few fine singers
of operatic ambitions.
At Miss Moir’s request, he
carefully selected four individ¬
ually trained singers and form¬
ed the quartet. The singers
began training as a group and
special arrangements of vari-
rioi'jt jmusf-cal compositions
were prepared for them.
Their audition brought such
enthusiastic response that they
were named "The Hallelujah
Quartet" and their introductory
theme became a blending of 16
measures of Mozart’s ecstatic
'Alleluia” and Vincent You-
man's spirited song of the
same name. Their repertoire
ranges from the e! assical
heights of Beethoven to the nos
talgic rhythm* of Gerhswin
and Kern. And. ofcourse, they
sing spirituals with inspira¬
tional sincerity!

Philadelphia, Pa., has denied flat-
ly that it recently requested 1,-
000 women, “white only,” from the

In a letter to NAACP Secretary
Walter White, President A. J.
Newman of the cigar company de-
dared: “Without reservations or
qualifications of any nature, we
wish to state that this report is
absolutely untrue and entirely
without foundation.
“For your information, this
company has not in the past nor
does it now or in the future ex¬
pect to discriminate against race,
creed or color, and the following
facts prove beyond any question
that any reports circulated to the
effect that we discriminate are
ill-founded and probably circulat¬
ed to create discord.
“For many years we employed
more Negroes in our plants than
any company in the State of
Pennsylvania, with the exception
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. At
that time Negroes constituted ap¬
proximately 25 per cent of our
employees. Today 40 per cent of
our employees are Negroes and we
are adding to this percentage at
the rate of approximately 50 per
week.
“Negroes in this plant enjoy
exactly the same advantages and
opportunities as do the whites, do
the same work as the whites and
are paid at the same rates as are
the whites. The head shipping
clerk in one of our plants is a
Negro. We have steadily up-grad¬
ed our Negro women employees
until today they occupy positions
as supervisors and forewomen.
“Our future policy will continue
as in the past, and we do not ex¬
pect to lay off any worker, what¬
ever the race or creed, for any
reason other than those govern-
1 '!? efficient work. It may inter-

Warns About
Poll Tax
Amendment
Washington, D. C. — The
NAACP Washington Bureau hail¬
ed the action of the Senate judi¬
ciary committee in reporting to the
Senate H.R. 7, the Anti-Poll Tax
bill, on October 1. It warned that
Senate Joint Resolution 92, pro¬
viding for the abolition of the poll
tax by means of a Constitutional
amendment, which was sent to the
Senate at the same time, will
“wreck” the fight to eliminate the
poll tax requirement if it is con¬
sidered by the Senate before H.R.
7.
Even if S.J.R. 92, which seeks
to abolish the poll tax by me»iyi
of an amendment to the Federal
Constitution should pass both
Houses of Congress, thirty-six
state legislatures would have to
ratify it before it would become
the law of the land, the NAACP
pointed out The NAACP recalled
that an amendment to the Consfir
tution to ban child labor was pass¬
ed by the 68th Congress on June
2, 1924 but that after a twenty-
one year fight only twenty-eight
state legislatures have ratified it.
There is no reason therefore to
assume, the NAACP continued,
that the states would move any
faster on a poll tax amendment
than they have to outlaw practices
which have destroyed the health
and lives of hundreds of thousands
of the nation’s children.
As further proof of the hope¬
lessness of abolishing the poll tax
by the method of amending the 1
Constitution, the NAACP point¬
ed out two statements made by
Senators Theodore G. Bilbo (D., ,
Miss.) and Allen J. Ellender (D.,
La.). Bilbo was quoted as saying
that he would not filibuster
against it, while Ellender said
that, though he would talk against
H.R. 7, the bill which passed the
House on June 12, “as long as 1
have breath,” he was not concern- .
ed about the amendment because ,
“there will never be enough states
to ratify it.”
The NAACP urged its Branched
and everyone who wants a “free
vote” in every one of the states
to write Senator Alben W. Bark¬
ley, the Democratic Majority Lead¬
er, to let the Senate vote on H.R,
7 before debating the amendment.
It j!,ii ur-ctl people to wriTe tlieif
Senators to vote for ILK. 7 and
against the amendment.
