Negro Voters Want More Than Janilorships
Reports coming from Arizona’s larger centers of pop
ulation confirm local rumors that the state’s Negro voters
Tesent the deal, or lack of deal, they have received from
Governor Osborn. It has been observed and commented
upon that Governor Osborn takes the Negro vote for
granted and is oblivious of any obligation to include them
in his thinking. He has never counted them in on any
thing. He has simply ignored them which is tantamount
to counting them out, although he has had their undivided
and constant support in every campaign. Year after year,
the governor’s Negro supporters have hoped that he would
give them some encouragement. They would have been
happy to have received even an empty gesture of some
sort. They have been disappointed and are sensitive to
the fact that Arizona has not kept pace with other states
in the matter of integrating its Negro citizens into the
body politic. Arizona’s four fold increase in Negro popu
lation during and since the war gives the Negro a political
potential that can not be ignored. Included in this increase
are many Negroes of ability. These newcomers have been
quick to observe Arizona’s backwardness about which
the are having a lot to say. They will not be satisfied
with a smile, a pat-on-the-back and a janitorship at the
Capitol. They want to be regular citizens and accorded
the recognition to which their ability and competency en
titles them. The Republicans return to the state’s politi
cal arena offers possibilities that Negroes and many whites
have been denied under the one party system. It can be
easily possible that the one party system is on its way out.
By his failure to properly evaluate the Negro voter, Gov
ernor Osborn has made the Negro highly susceptible to the
present blandishments of the Republicans.

WHO SAID IT
By D. F. B.
Who said it doesn’t rain in the
“Valley of the Sun”?—the biggest
scoop of the week is the record
breaking rain—and still not over.
Many high school “kids” have not
witnessed such a long continuous
drizzle in Phoenix before, accord
ing to the record. I hope it does
not stop our fight
for the Colorado River Water.
And, while we are on the subject
of water, why not suggest that the
3 cent increase in street car fare
be ear marked and set aside to
buy row boats to replace street
cars on rainy days. (If we have
any more).
Who said “Go west, young man?”
Well it seems that advice is being
well taken here of late, especially
here in Phoenix —the much criti
cized part of town, 4s really “go
ing to town.” Everything is mov
ing that way. With the comple
tion of the $70,000 Elks home and
the erecting of the Boys Club to
be started soon we will have just
about all of the big things, impor
tant to our group, concentrated
over there, which I think is grand,
even if I am an East-sider. When
the streets are paved, which has
been approved and that area is
taken into the city, which is con
templated, we will look forward
to a community comparable. to
Los Angeles’ West side.
Places of amusement is on the
list of improements; the latest ad
dition to PhoeniJc nite-spots is the
American Legion “Dug-out” on
East Jackson St., opened a couple
of weeks ago by the Wallace Simp
sons’ Post, —a clean up to date and
well mannered place which is des
tined to go places.
Who said we wouldn’t ever get
a break in the community? What
do you think about Hadley Mur
rell’s appointment? Not so bad,
huh? A step forward. There have
been other appointments in recent
months which I will tell about
next issue, some, maybe you don’t
know about.
But bear in mind things don’t
“just happen”, so until next week
when I’ll be bringing you some
more city highlights.
I’ll be “sueing” you.

Originator and Director of i
"UIN'pS OVER JORDAN"
Negro and White Together
~ Created Inspirational Choir
WINGS OVER JORDAN, famed
Negro spiritualist choir, owes its
existence to two men, Reverend
Glynn T. Settle, pastor of Cleve
land’s Gethsemane Baptist Church,
and Worth Kramer, who before
entering the Navy, was program
director of CBS station WGAR in
Cleveland.
Reverend Settle first took his
church choir to Worth Kramer in
1937 and asked for an audition.
After the program department had
listened to the magnificent singing
of traditional spirituals, Mr. Kra
mer volunteered to direct the
group and help prepare it for a
regular Sunday morning spot on
the Cleveland station.
Going on the air for the first
time on July 11, 1937, the choir,
named WINGS OVER JORDAN,
(after the words in a song sung by
Reverend Settle’s mother), became
a regular Sunday feature of
WGAR for six months. In Janu
ary 1938, Worth Kramer, who had
given up his CBS job and was de
voting all his time to the group,
auditined WINGC OVER JOR
DAN for the heads of CBS in New
York. CBS immediately placed
the chorus on a coast-to-coast net
work where they have been heard
for seven years by an audience of
over 10,000,000 people, each Sun
day.
Every week, Sunday schools,
families and individuals tune their
radios to CBS to listen to the in
spirational songs of faith so beau
tifully interpreted by the 20 voice
group. They have made personal
appearances in nearly every state
of the union and have donated
time and money to all charitable
institutions or religious causes in
need of assistance.
Reverend Settle, during the
weekly 30 minute broadcasts, in
troduces each number to be sung
by telling a little of the history
of that spiritual and during each
broadcast also gives a five minute
talk on the achievements of great
American Negroes or of white
Americans who have benefited the
cause of interracial understanding
and brotherhood.
More than the talks, however,
the music sung by WINGS OVER
JORDAN, actually tells the story
of the American Negro through
music, feeling and depth of un
derstanding—and the group itself
is a living example of the great
ness that has been built by people
of two races through the efforts
of the Negro, Reverend Settle and
OVER ISO VETERANS ARE DECLARED
INELIGIBLE FOR ON-JOB ALLOWANCES
The recent policy announced by
General Omar N Bradley with re
spect to veterans receiving Read
justment Allowances has resulted
in 152 veterans being declared in- J
eligible for allowances in Arizona,
said Bruce Parkinson, Director of.
the Unemployment Compensation
Division of the Employment Secur
ity Commission of Arizona, which
is responsible for the administra
tion of the Readjustment Allow- j
ance program in Arizona.
While readjustment allowances
are intended to assist the veteran
financially in his change from mili
tary to civilian employment, the
veteran is not entitled to receive
such allowances unless he is active
ly seeking work. Registration for
work with the "“United States Em
ployment Service is not sufficient
to qualify the veteran to obtain
allowances. He must produce evi
dence that he is making efforts t
of his own to secure employment, i
Readjustment Allowances en- 1
courage the veteran to obatin em
ployment since a job offers many
rewards in addition to wages in ex- !
cess of the Readjustment Allow
ance. Employment experience,
work habits, development of skills
and seniority are valuable assets
acquired only on a job. The sooner
a veteran goes to work the earlier
he will be able to meet the quafi
fications of experience and skill
required by employers.
A survey is being conducted now
in the Employment Security Com
mission offices throughout the
State of all veterans who have re
ceived allowance for 20 or more
weeks to determine what efforts
they themselves are making to get
jobs.
Readjustment Allowances are a
poor substitute for a job. However,

rus will be presented at Phoenix

they do relieve the veteran’s finan
cial worry while he is loking for
work.
In order for a veteran to be eli
gible tb receive Readjustment Al
lowance, he must be out of work
through no fault of his own, be
available for work, able to work
and willing to work.
In Arizona, the number of veter
ans applying for Readjustment Al
lowance is increasing, due princi
pally to the immigration of veter
ans from other parts of the coun
try. Many of these veterans had no
work experience prior to entering
the armed forces or had acquired
skills in industries that do not ex
ist in Arizona. Consequently, veter
ans must use initiative in locating
a job to make use of the skills and
abilities they have developed to
gain experience for the time when
job opportunities are fewer than
they are now.
One kind of lizard can shed its
tail, when in danger, and slither
away leaving the tail to wriggle
for a short time, according to the
Encyclopaedia Britannica. The
wriggling tail often distracts pur
suers until the lizard has reached
safety.
A fraternal guild of the 12th
century, the Grocers’ Livery Com

its members to daughters of guild

failed, Britannica adds.
