D TO FIGHT ~

RACIAL INTOLERANCE

Chicago ~(ANP) ~ A 38-page
report on race relations urged

Support legislation designed to
eliminate discrimination and
residential restrictive covenants.

NEW YORK. ~ The wizened old
lady slowly climbed down the three
flights to a neighbor~s tenement

_. apartment, knocked timidly on the
_ doer and when the neighbor appeared asked for a cup of coffee.

-Delia Edwards, 67, had been
doing this for many a day, so it
was to make conversation that the

neighbor, Mrs. Mary. Bennett,
asked:
~How~s. your. brother, Miss
Delia?~~

Still sipping the hot coffee, and
pulling her old sweater tighter
about her to fight off the cold, the
woman muttered:

~f think Charlie~s dead. Hasn't
~ moved since Saturday.~
oe Calls for Priest.
| Mrs. Bennett immediately called
a priest who climbed the dank stair~case into the squalor of the Ed~ wards~ apartment. There the priest
saw the withered body of Charles
Edwards, 77, covered with an oldfashioned nightgown, kneeling on
the floor beside his unmade bed, his
head buried in his hands in an attitude of prayer.

In another dusty bedroom, piled
with yellowed newspapers ~and remains of unfinished meals, lay Miss
Anna Edwards, 69, pleading for
food.

The priest called police. The poNdéé" physician studied the ancient
figure kneeling as if in supplication.
He took out his card and wrote:

~Dead on: arrival. Natural
causes.~~

Unearth Fortune. -

The women were taken to Kings |
County hospital where doctors diag- |
nosed Anna Edwards~ ailment as,

~

Presbytery during its monthly
meeting at the Presbyterian
church in Libertyville, and was
approved as a subject for study
by the 120 local: Presbyterian
congregations. j

Entitled ~Pattern of Act~on
for Race Relations,~ the report
calls for endorsement of | fair
employment practices acts at
municipal, state and federal ievels; passage of a federal civil
rights bill; better housing; passage of anti-lynching and antipoll tax legislation, as well as
~elimination of restrictive covenants, thru action of congress
to eliminate the requirements of
a covenant in federal housing
administration mortgages, and
through action of the Illinois
state legislature.~

The Rev. Augustus E. Bennett,
pastor of Grace Presbyterian
church, was one of the clergy
document and Frayser T. Lane,
of the Chicago Urban league,
was a member of the special
15-man~ committee.

Mayor Edward J. Kelly was. praised for the work of the
Mayor~s Committee on: Human
relations and for ~his support
of the Chicago Housing authority in its policy of non-discrimination in the assignment of
housing on the basis of need. Me

The report urge local Presbyterians ~to refuse to sign restrictive covenants, under. the
certainty that the covenants will
collapse if a small minority. refuses to sign them.~

The neighbors talked. They said
ti~ Edwardses had lived in such
peverty as long as they could retember

And they recailed that the. only
extravagance the Edwardses ever
indulged in was Delia~s custom. of
occasionally slipping out to buy an
ice cream cone after her brother
had gcne te bed.

Soon the detectives came. In
desultory fashion they dusted off
the documents and papers that littered the Brooklyn coldwater flat.
Then they stopped short~

For underneath all the rubbish
were banknotes listing $67;000 in
deposits and mortgages and pends
valued at $100, 000.

Turkish Bath Robbed;
Bandits Get $18,000
NEW YORK. ~ Seven armed
and masked bandits, -in a wellrehearsed robbery, escaped with
1$18,000 in money, jewels and
other valuables from a Coney
Island turkish bath house recently.
The daring holdup was exei] cuted in the early dawn as 200
guests slept upstairs.

Pvt. A. B. Richie, Hickory, N. C.,
who had ~successfully appealed; from.
a death sentence for the slaying of.
Corp. Pete De Fusco, Uniontown,
Pa., near Camp Phillips. And in custody here is Otho Charles Stockdale, 25, Fresno locomotive fireman, whom Detective Sgt. S. G.
Vind quoted as saying:

~He (De Fusco) didn~t like the
brand of whisky I'd bought, so I hit
him. Well, then he seemed to be
dead.~

Richie, according to this Seiets
was not involved in any way in the '
death.

Vind said Stockdale surrendered
to police and related his story of
De Fusco~s death~breaking a 32 -month silence. While the story is
being investigated, Stockdale is
held on a charge of failure to posess a draft card.

Vind said Stockdale described De
Fusco~s death as ~~just one of those
things... I stole a jeep... drove
it out... and bought a fifth of
whisky. I got a little tanked up and
drove back into camp and picked
up this soldier (De Fusco)... I
don~t remember everything that
happened, but we got to arguing.~~

The sergeant said Stockdale~s
conscience hadn~t bothered him
about Richie~s conviction for the
killing, -because, the fireman explained, ~I didn~t know the guy.~

Only President Truman~s action
on an appeal saved Richie from
execution.

Coover, 51, of Ames, Iowa, wife of

yisitor on the observation floor,
~I'm going to jump.~.

Max Fiirman, an assistant state
attorney general, identified Gordon
as his nephew and said he had been
~depressed~ since his release from

Powell Asks House Committee
To Investigate Discrimination
In Capital] Eating Places e

WASHINGTON.~(ANP) ~In an appointee

a move to clear up ~once and
for all~ the question of discrimination against Negro: employes
in the capitol eating places, Rep.
Adam Clayton Powell has introduced a resolution calling upon
the house committee on education and labor to investigate the
entire matter. Powell has found
that all Negro employes on the
hill are kept out of the restaurants. His resolution followed

President Truman~s appeal for |.

help for Greece to insure ~the
democratic way-of life.~

In introducing the resolution,
Powell said: ~I am _ sure. that
the Republicans who are in control of the house and senate will
not allow Negro employes to be
barred from the employe restaurants. I am sure, therefore,
they will welcome a full investigation so. that this matter will

' be cleared up once and for all.

In the meantime, any Negro

employe who is barred from.

any eating place under the
dome will kindly report to me
the. incident and I will personally raise it on the floor.~.
Edward F. McGinnis, sergeant-at-arms who bars Negroes
from the capitol restaurants,

is,

of Sen. Brook: |
(R.-IIL).

Powell~s resolution would seek
to determine ~why and by what
authority Negroes are excluded
as patrons of the public portions
of the restaurants and cafeterias
in the United States government
buildings~ in Washington, and
would empower the committee,
of which he is a member, to. sit
in judgment upon all complaints

~The committee shal] have
the power,~ states the resolution, ~to sit-and act within the
District of Columbia (whether
or not the house is in session
or has recessed or adjourned),
to hold such hearings, to require by subpena the attend~ance and testimony of such. witmesses and the production of
such books, papers, and documents, and to employ such stemographic and othen personnel,
as it deems advisable. Any |:
member of the committee, ~May
administer oaths to witnesses.

/Subpenas shall be signed by

the chairman of the committee
and may be served by any
member of the committee or
other. person designated by such
chairman.~

Ellis Arnall Flays Lynching, Hits
Talmadge in Fiery Boston Speech

BOSTON.~(ANP)~~I predict
the supreme court of Georgia
will unseat Herman Talmadge,~
said ex-Gov. Ellis Arnall addressing an overflow Boston
Ford Halj forum here last week,
~TI predict the court will be
unanimous. I predict it will
happen within the next three
weeks.

The Bay State paid high tribute to the liberal southerner
whose appearance here filled the
1,200 capacity of the hall so that
hundreds were turned away. at
the door.

~I want to see men guilty of|

lynching get the death penalty,~
said Arnall in reviewing his efforts to apprehend. such~ criminals during -his regime during
which he offered $65,000 reward
and enlisted the aid of the FBI.

Arnall also slapped back at
some of his northern critics,-alWays eager to put all the blame
on the south. ~The pot can't
call the kettle black,~ he declared in blaming the north for
much of @he economic woes of
the south which he asserted had
been kept down in a status com;
parable to ~drawers of water
and hewers of timber.~

Arnall asked for faifer distribution of economic~ development.
and a legs concentrated indus-.

of~ the ~natign which, left, the

gram; he said, was to bring
benefit to all: the people equally,

and this program included more
