dangerous and fatal delusions which many
Americans have been persuaded to accept
are: “One. That one’s church, cult, sect,
or group alone exp! -sses God’s will. Two.
TlTaT one’s race is superior. Three. That
oije’i| class is superior. Four. That one
group can obtain more for itself if it de-
nifcs advantages to other groups.

not a big day for Savannah Negroes. The
colored committee suffered some embar-

nation of the committee could have been

Out Soldier’s Eye
Jacksonville, Fla. (ANP) Pvt.
Joe Suggs, patient at Battery Gen¬
eral hospital in Rome, Ga., lost his
left eye as a result of a blow deal:
him with a pistol butt on July 28
by Constable Roy Duncan of
Micanopy, Fla., after an alleged
misunderstanding between the sol¬
dier and a white civilian, it was
revealed here last week.
Suggs, a native of Texas and
veteran of ."> 1-2 years Army serv¬
ice, 13 months overseas, was on a
•onvalescont furlough, recuperat¬
ing from a broken foot incurred ; n
Normandy.
The army reportedly is investi¬
gating the occurrence.
According to Suggs, the _whole
thing began when he entered a
general store in Micanopy to pur¬
chase some candy for the children
of a cousin he was about to visit.
lie said lie was standing at the
'•OMiiter when an apparently drunk
white man approached him and
mid there was a soldier in the
store disturbing the peace and for
Sugg to make him quiet down.
Suggs said he would do his best,
but looking around the store -saw
no other soldier. He left the store
without further ado for his cousin’s
home.
The soldier returned to the same
store about five .hours later with
the husband of his cousin to pur¬
chase some groceries. He noticed
that the white man was still in the
store, this time drinking a bottle
of beer.
The white ✓ man, named Brown,
was quoted as saying, ’’Let’s talk,
soldier.” ‘‘What do you want to
alk about?” Suggs asked, both
aiking pleasantly. “Oh,” said
Brown ‘Let’s talk about the good
times you boys had overseas. “
Tm trying to forget what hap -
pened overseas, let’s talk a bout
something else,” Suggs replied.
“What the hell’s the matter with
you?” Brown inquired, “Ain’t no
barm in talking, is there?”

Suggs succeeded in making the
white man place the handle
in its rack and continued with his

ever, that Brown was
him with his hands in his pockets
as if concealing something. Suggs
stopped and grasped Brown by
shoulders and suggested that he
stop following him and his cousin

that he was going home and that
he was not looking for any trouble
either. However, instead of going
home, Brown notified Constable
Roy Duncan of his quarrel with
Suggs.
Suggs and his cousin were al¬
most at home when he was stop¬
ped by the constable’s shout for
him to stop. He said he stopped
immediately, not knowing the con¬
stable’s intentions and wanting to
be on the right side of the law.
“What do you want with me?”
Suggs asked the constable, who
retorted: “You’d better come here,

For the NNI’A News Service
i Presidential press conference-
little in form regardless of
whom the White House ineumben'

conference to conference as the
public interest shifts from one is.
( sue to another. A President like
late Franklin D. Roosevelt may
'add pungency to these conference?
by presenting an Iron Cross to p
j newspaperman like John O’Donnell
| of The New York Daily News or
by telling some reporter to put
a <lunce cap and g0 and sit in

The idea that Harry Me Alp in
was the first colored newspaper
man to be admitted to White
H 0U g e pi-gss conferences is errone-
ous . When Calvin Collidge was
president, C. Bascom Slernp, his
secretary, arranged for the admis-
sion _of the first one—C. Lucian
Skinner. Skinner attended the
j conferences for awhile and later 1
j joined him.
Rules for admission to White
House press conferences in those
days were virtually the same as
they are now and virtually the
same as those governing the Sen¬
ate and House Press Galleries.
Skinner was not a bona fide news¬
paper man, and when the White
House Correspondents’ Associa¬
tion wanted to get rid of Skinner.
, it simply invoked the rules, with

his visit to Africa, which included
a stopover in Liberia.
1 In the days of Coolidge, the
i only credentials necessary for ad-
' mission to the White House press
conference was a letter from the
i secretary to the President. Now-
1 adays after your application is

I President’s press secretary, the
Secret Service checks you. When
you are told to pick up your cre¬
dentials, you are fingerprinted.

offices. The newspaper and radio
reporters—they’re the cream of
the profession—gather in the lobby
and chatter until they're told the
President is ready. As you go into
the President’s office, you must
show your pass twice.

There is now none of the leg¬
erdemain of the Harding and Cool¬

Chicago, Hi¬ -Contrary to the
stories in the daily papers, 7 the
school strikes in Gary, Ind., , and
Chicago give real evidence of be¬
ing fomented by an organized
group or groups, according to on-
the-spot investigations made by
Miss Noma Jensen of the NAACP
New York office.
“In Gary not only former known
Bundists are active hut also 5 ’-fol¬
lowers of Father Coughlin, Gerald
L. K. Smith and members of the
Klu-Klux Klan,” Miss Jensen tout.
“All have a stake in this Froebel
school strike and they are acting
accordingly,” she emphasized.,
The school strikes started on
September 18 at Froebel h i g h
school in Gary, where Negroes
and whites have gone to school-*
together for over twenty years.
Miss Jensen’s report continues:
“The school strikes in Chicago
are undoubtedly the result of,'
mounting group antagonisms.
These antagonisms can he tijai^ijA
to the community’s failure to al¬
leviate over-crowding in housing,
discrimination in employment anil
in the lack of success of various
civic groups to reform the city’s
school system.”
SINATRA HITS
New York—Frank Sinatra, of
radio fame, condemned racial and

October 23.
The high school was the scene
everal weeks ago of disturbances
between Negro and white teen* *
groups, some students in*t,ib
ichoel and some hoys in the neigh¬
borhood. Sinatra told the awfi- 3 ™
»nce not to “go around calling
names or indicating your racial
preference.” He asked the stu¬
dents to act as “neighborhood
emissaries of racial good-will.” At
both assemblies he sang “Aren't
you Glad You’re You?”
Sinatra’s appearance was ar¬
ranged by the national office of
^lie NAA* 1’ with Dr. Leonard Co-
