was an extremely overcrowded
condition in many cases four

some were without any oilet

houses are bordered by an old

at night the bordering street
is swarmed with roaches from
the dump, and that rats from
he dump are “too large for
cho cats to tackle.’’ Among oth-

were leaking roofs, walls and
doors, inadequate garbage col¬

and junk areas and uncleared
vacant lots near residences.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—According to the United Stales Depart¬

Bread each day, over six million loaves a day could be saved to teed
starving Europe until new crops are harvested. To aid the American
homemaker to save wheat hut still feed her family nutritiously, the

in spi.e of the heavy rain-

which cut down crop produc¬

from grocers’ shelves, such as

and mincemeat made from
pears. The rec ! pe for pea^'
meat was introduced to

a member of the group. Two

excessive heat, these thrifty
housewives worked cooperatlve-

As a climax to the activities

Rumor has it, whispers, that
possibly and even probably
he was put to death by ene-
nr'es he had among whites by
his participation in a recen;
union movement in the chalk
mines. An earlier case of a
beating given a Negro labor
union member in the m : ne re-
ceived considerable publicity.
Although the case has not
been investigated locally, the
coroner and the sheriff who
were called iimmedlaitely up-
on discovery of the body, and
held an immediate inquest,
gave their verdict as “gun-
shot at the hand of un-

j however, the veteran readily
supplied investigators with the
informat on he possessed and
drew up a signed affidavit
when promised NAACP protec-
tion. •
The veteran, whose identity
cannot be disclosed for obvious
reasons, in his affidavit, clears
up a con roversy which reach-
ed a dramatic cl max recently
when Orson Welles, hard-hit-
ting radio commentator
Hollywood actor, answered
mayor of Aiken, S. C., who de-
manded a retraction of the
charge made by Woodard that
the brutal attack had occur-
red in that city. Wells, in his
regular Sunday afternoon net-
work broadcast, had stated
j : that Woodard, a man who had
served his country during the
war. claimed that he’d been at-
tacked and blinded n
S. C. The burden of proof
lies with you, Mr. Mayor,” said
Wells. “You should have ad¬
dressed your demands for a
retraction to Sgt. Isaac Wood¬
ard. But it should have been
sent in braille, Mr. Mayor, for
Isaac Woodard has no eyes,”
continued the provocative com¬
mentator.
Woodard in explaining his
reasons for naming A ken as
the scene of his horrifying ex¬
perience, said, “To the best of
my knowledge I was attacked
in A’ken, S. C. The policeman,
after he put me in a car to
take me to the hospital ans¬
wered me when I asked him
i where I was. He told me we
were in Aiken, S. C. When we
go. to the hospital, the police
the doctor that he vas
from Aiken, S. C. A few days
later a couple of guys came
into the ward inquiring about
the soldier who got beat up n
Aiken. They were interes.ed
because they were from Aiken
themselves.”
;
According to the story told
by the eyewitness the attack
actually occurred in Ba esburg,
a few miles from Aiken. “The
bus operator came into the bus
with three police officers and
pointed to Isaac Woodard. One
of the policemen came into the
back of the bus and took
Woodard ou:. When they got
him outside, one of the police¬
men took out a blackjack and
I smashed, Woodard across the
head . . . then they carried hint
