The applications have been filed

of Blossom Heath by our club. We
urge you to take steps necessary to
assure the safety of those who ap
pear nt the Tuesday meeting and
the safety of persons and property
of club members.”
Thomas A. Kenney, legal advisor
to the governor, in answering the
telegram Monday, said the "execu

enforcing agencies. All steps neces
sary in the premises will be Liken

Law School. The resolution would
also ask appropriation of $2,500.
As the trial of the defendants
opened Monday, Diggs’ attorneys,
Harold E. Bledsoe and Joseph
Brown, challenged the array of the
jury and moved that the present
panels of petit jurors called by the
court be discharged and a new panel
called.
In the petition for the dismissal
of the jury, the attorneys pointed
out that there are upward of 2.000
Negro residents of Ingam county,
but that none had been called for
jiAy service.
The motion was based on the rec
ords of the court and an affidavit
filed by J. McKinley Lee Sr., of
Lansing who charges that in the 2’
years he has lived in Lansing he
has never been called for jury
service.

knocked of\ her cottage door and
she came out and walked down the
road with him. She made her first
accusation against him when her
husband awakened and found her
near where she said she had been
forced over a wall.
The case had created a sensation
in England and the decis.on had
been criticized by Liberal and Left
ist weeklies which pointed out that
there was a "reasonable doubt” as
to the actual crime of rape.
Gen. Eserhower stated that he
was sure a review of the evidence
would result in amelioration of the
sentence.

Labor Bias Hit By
Urban League Sec.
Reginald A. Johnson, field secre
tary of the National Urban League,
stated that the labor organizations
which practice racial discrimination
should be penalized and denied gov
ernment protection in his testimony
before the House Labor Committee

ployment Service had practiced
“discriminatory hiring" before the

(Continued from Page 1)
afternoon session, definite sugges
tions were made as to how the vari
ous groups represented would go
about getting their followers to
register and vote according to the
needs of the nation as a whole.
While there was much agitation
to support Roosevelt and endorse
him as a candidate for the coming
presidential election, the point of
the conference was kept and the
non-partisan character of the meet
ing was maintained.
Delegates from the local labor
unions and various civic and re
ligious groups of the state amounted
to a representation of 109.000 per
sons who would be affected by the
measures agreed upon.
In the final meeting Sunday at
the F.bcnrzer A.M E. church Dr. Al
fred M. Lee of Wayne university,
and Mort Furry of the CIO stressed
the reed for action now to guaran
tee that the forces of liberalism
will triumph over the forces of
sm and reaction in Michigan
: ,1 the United States in general.
Poth stressed ihe need for remov
ing certain public officials who have
hown by their records that they
re not in favor of progress and
that the issues with which the con
m nee has interested itself have
ueen ignored by them.
Will Set Pattern
Dr. Arthur Huff Fauset. president
of the United Peoples’ Action Com
mittee of Philadelphia, in the main
address of the evening declared that
the 1944 elections in the United
States will s*t the pattern for China.
Mcx.co. India and Africa, and that
the.'-e countries are watching to see
what the people of the United States
ate going to do.
“In a land of plenty.” Faucet
said, “there should bo a plenty for
ail and it is up to the people of
the country to sec to it that it will
not become plenty for the few.
The t.mes are getting critical and
we must mobilize our forces to meet
the forces of reaction who have al
ready mobilized.’’ he said.
Faucet said further that the idea
that all things will come in time
n.ust now be discarded because "we
intend to get in the near future
those guarantees of first class citi
zenship which have alluded my
people for so long.”
Faucet insisted that non-partisan
docs not mean that a group will be
come neutral or inarticulate but that
the group will take a stand on men
and issues which will guarantee
the four freedoms for all.
