that Carver received the recogni

Carver'* work was dedicated
to showing the people how to

from things that they did have.
CurtU said. The many product*
which he derived from the pea

point.
"George W Carver is an example

GOP'S FIGHT
CHANGING OF
CONSTITUTION
House Joint Resolution "A”
amending the state constitution to
apportion districts such as Detroit
where members are elected at
large, was laid on the table last
week, the N.A A.C.P learned, be
cause Republicans have changed
their minds about the measure.
Originally, the measure was spon
sored by Rep. Eaton of Plymouth
|R) and was allegedly aimed at
splitting the Detroit Democratic
strength by apportioning the dis
trict.
Under the new proposal, there
is a possibility that Negro voters
could elect two or three members
of the lower house in Lansing.
• • •
DETROIT DEMOCRATS in
formed Dr James J. McClendon,
president N A A.C.P. last week of
tjieir opposition to the measure on
the grounds that it only applied
to Detroit and was designed to
weaken their position. The asso
ri.pion is supporting the amend
ment.
According to Tracy Doll, state
representative from Detroit, when
iho measure was voted out of
committee amended to include all
districts having legislators elected
at large, "it was [ romptly tabled
by the Republicans . .
"Since that time, we of the
Democratic minority have twice
attempted to take the resolution
over the table, but have each time
been defeated by the Republicans.
It looks very much like the reso
lution will die on the table.”
