The whites were busily searching the statute books to see whether there was any law that could be invoked against a "heaven" in their midst, following acquisition by Father Divine of the three-acre estate at 357 Park Hill Ave., heart of the ritzy community.

The brothers, who had been in "hiding" since the lynching of Snell, leisurely surrendered after attending the funeral services of a youngeh brother accidentally killed by Snell's taxi.

The Blackwelders seized Snell from a constable on April 30 while the taxi driver was being taken to a hearing on manslaughter charges in Benny Blackwelder's death. Snell, a vVorld War veteran, is survived by a wife and adopted child. Police Constable James Durden testified before the coroner's jury that he was transporting Snell from Daytona to ne;rby DeLand after the Blackwelders had made threats against Snell's life. He positively identified the two brothers as the slayers of Snell. Snell had been involved in the accidental death of 12-year-old Be nBlackwelder, Jr., brother of the two lynchers, whose cycle collided with Snell's cab on April 30.

ANTI BIAS BILL PASSED BY SENATE Albany, N. Y., May 11.- Jim-crow segregation are aspects of the discrimination system that is so ever-present as to be obvious and irksome to even the most backward politically. This Jim Crow extends into every phase of life, transportation, education, health, restaurants, housing, everything! Although the Klan has paraded through the Negro section of the city on every election for a number of years, its activity was more violent this year than ever before. The Klan directed its threats particularly against the work of the Negro Citizens Service League, an organization interested in improving conditions of Miami's Negro population. The Service League was largely responsible for the registration of 2,000 Negro citizens to vote i~ this election, an unusually large number. Although some 20,000 Negroes here are of' voting age, only 150 to 200 have registered for elections in the past. "I have no objection-as long as they behave properly." A deed transferring the property to Father Divine's followers was filed this week in the Westchester County Clerk's office in White Plains, N. Y. The revenue stamps on the deed indicated that $10,000 cash was paid and that a $5,580 mortgage was continued. The Overcliff Holding Company was the seller. The coroner's jury rendered its (CNA)._ Two anti-discriminaverdict of wilful murder after the still locked in Republican-controlled committees. dered, depending on the grievance. The Republicans have failed to report out a bill which puts teeth in these provisions by making it a misdemeanor for an appointing official to discriminate on racial There are those, of course, who say that the Negro people do not object to segregation they simply want EQUAL facilities. There is an obvious fallacy here. Segregation and inequality are twin brothers. The very fact of segregation implies inferiority and the result is always some form of discrimination. There was never yet a Jim Crow railway car equal in cleanliness or comfort to the cars in which the whites were riding. There was never, in the South, a segregated Negro neighborhood that had street lights, paving, packs and houses equal to those in the white neighborhoods. Resentment against Jim Crow laws and customs is becoming daily more widespread. If any thing, the threats of the Klan made Negroes more determined to vote, and an accelerated vote was the result. During the first two hours of voting only about 8 per cent of the white population voted, a normal figure-during the same time, about 25 per cent of the colored voters already has cast their ballot.

The Portland Observer Publlsbed Frid.a.y of ea.ch week at Portland, Oregon. WILLIAM H. McCLENDON, Editor and Publisher. Editorial Office-1504 N. Williams Avenue Porlland, oregon. Phone EAst 0949. All news and editorial matter should be addressed toP. 0. Box 3728 WE MUST WAKE UP I Some Negroes in the state of Oregon are seem-' ingly devoid of ambition. Few, if any, of the members of this group have put forth any special effort to better their social and economic status. There is an alarming percentage of members within thfs group who are content to sit idly by while they are gradually restricted to employment in a few stereotype jobs such as domestic help, servants and the like. In some instances this listlessness can be explained by citing the fact that the majority of Negroes in this locality are lacking in preparation necessary to hold positions that demand technical or scientific training. A limited number have been trained to perform certain types of professional work. These cannot follow the professions in which they have efficiently prepa1·ed themselves because there is no political cohesion within the Negro group as a whole. Consequently, there are practically n oopportunities for employment open for Negroes along professional lines, especially where political affiliations could prove beneficial. Negroes in this community have further retarded their progress by attempting to acquire special training in a few professions. This program can no longer be followed. There must be earnest attention given to every phase of employment so long as it shows an inkling of a chance for advancement. Negroes cannot pick any one field of endeavor on which to concentrate their energies as they will usually find upon completion of their education a tremendous amount of envy, jealousy and ignorance which will tend to dwarf their personalities and distort their senses of perception. The short-comings of the Negro group stand out for themselves. The few who have a social insight know that suspicion and distrust creates strife and conflict.

It is not unusual to find children The following extracts from an article by B. F. Irvine, which recently appeared in the Oregon Journal regarding the summer water rate are self-explanatory: "Portland and surrounding territory may be beautified during the forthcoming summer by the generous use of water at a very much reduced rate. This plan, if adopted by the City Council, will enable the home owner to use twice as much ,.,.·ater as he used during June, July, August and September, 1938, and pay half-price for the additional water." "This is a far-seeing plan proposed by Commissioner Clyde, and if adopted, it will result in a vast improvement of lawns, flower gardens and shrubbery because the home owner can afford to use the water at the reduced rates, and the sale of surplus water will increase the revenue of the city's Water Bureau. The plan would mean much to Portland." "This is to be a summer when Portland, like other Northwest cities will be on parade before the thousands of visitors to the world's fairs. It will mean much to show them fresh, green lawns, wel-kept gardens, flower beds and shrubbery. It will give Portland a distinction and a name that will spell much for the future."

In the majority of these cases the parents are at fault. In the parents attempts to be ultramodern and sophisticated they have not only supplied the child with answers to its various inquiries, but they have furnished it with facts and knowledge far too dense for any adolescent ,or premature mind to wade through intelligently. Some parents have even had their children to delve deep into the practical and realistic realms of sex when they were aware of the fact that the child was wholly unable to comprehend the true meaning and implications of what they were being taught.

Consequently, it usually brings about a startling awakening for other children ·who come in contact with these astute adolescents during school and play hours. The calmer, more conscientious parents are then faced with the stark, dreadful problem of erasing from the minds of their children this socalled "~rush" which they have innocently picked up. In their attempts to successfully remove these distorted concepts they meet with grave difficulty.

They say that the warm weather causes this place to be smelled before it is seen. These petitioners, in a footnote to the City Council says: "If you will investigate this place, you will find that it is an awful place for big blow flies and awful odors."

The plant manufactures Chesterfield, Fatima and Piedmont cigarettes and Velvet smoking tobacco. The Durham, N. C. plant of Liggett & Myers is also closed by a strike. For the first time in Richmond's history, Negr~ and white men and women are picketing together, side by side. Negotiations bet1veen the company and union representatives broke down when the management refused to submit the differences to an impartial board. The union seeks seniority rights for union members, and a five per cent wage increase for all workers. There are many other implications that spring from this nusleus. For parents who feel unequipped to guide their children through this period of early childhood and adolescence, the advice of the family physician should be sought. In addition to this, there are many child-welfare and social organizations, national in scope, that will gladly supply almost all information desired.

U. Athletes Would Bar Anti-Negro Teams New York, May 11.-(CNA). -The campaign to end Negro discrimination in the field of athletics received a forward push this week when the Undergraduate Board of Athletic Control of New York University adopted a resolution opposing the formation of teams on any othe rbasis than that of ability. The move was understood to have been inspired by persistent demands of the student body to call off a football game scheduled for next season with the University of Missoun. The action against the Missourians grew out of the refusal of that University to allow a Negro hurdler on the University of Wisconsin track team to participate in a recent match between the two schools. The resolution urged the N.Y. U. schedule-makers to take cognizanze of the opposing team's attitude on sports, and to "refuse to schedule matches with schools that do not have as their sole criterion for play, the ability of the individual players." Commenting on the action taken by the Control Board, Lawrence Charry, a member of the body, declared: "If I, as a member of the Board, have anything to say, teams like Missouri would never appear on our schedules again." • • • • To the Shadow: I wasn't very much complimented, but I can't get mad.
