NEGRO VOTE DISAPPOINTING AS DEMOCRATS WIN LAWRENCE LONE RACE WINNER REPUBLICANS MAKE LIBERAL BID BUT GET MAJORITY IN ONLY ONE WARD AN EDITORIAL Charles P. Farnsley was reelected mayor of the City of Louisville, Tuesday. B. L. Shamburger, candidate for County Judge, and with little exception the full City and County Democratic ticket were swept into office after a vigorous campaign by both parties. It was not the general opinion that the Republican Party did not have a chance to win the election with Sheriff Rees H. Dickson, candidate for mayor and Country Commissioner Miles R. Thacker, candidate for County Judge, heading a ticket composed of citizens of high calibre, including a representative number of colored men. But a victory for Mayor Farnsley was not to be looked upon as anything like a surprise, where the white voters were concerned. There was a contention, however, that should Mr. Farnsley carry the white vote by anything like a reasonable majority, it would be overcome in the colored districts, and every effort was put forth by the white and Negro leaders that a large, substantial race vote might be counted on to bring victory to the G.O.P. Whether the occupational tax fathered by Mayor Farnsley was an issue which might react against his reelection was not a major question where those who were depending on a winning race vote were concerned-and the overall picture of the improvement of the city streets and the using of certain of them as recreation points, plus the weekly "sessions" which allowed Negroes to "beef" equally with the white citizens, was not disturbing to those Republican leaders who saw victory stemming out of the Negro wards. (Continued on page 4) NEA IN BUSINESS, SAYS KENDRIX "The National Education Association is in business. It is in the business of promoting the educational interest of America's boys and girls and chaperoning the professional growth [illegible] in education pursuits," Moss H. Kendrix, NEA representative told the Fifth District Teachers Association here last Thursday morning. Developing the subject, "Public Relations and the NEA," the public relations man spoke of the forty-odd departments and divisions of the NEA, Association sponsored commissions and committees, and its connections with the state and local educational bodies. "Like America's businesses and industrial enterprises, the NEA must be ever cognizant of its public relations," Mr. Kendrix pointed out. "American Education Week," which is observed November 6-12, "is just one example of an NEA fostered public relations project," noted the speaker. "Through this observance, the NEA, in cooperation with other national organizations, works with local school leaders all over the nation in this week-[illegible] community to our school houses, and this is public relations for closer understanding between the school and the community," said the speaker. The NEA's current campaign for a federal aid to education law was described by Mr. Kendrix as a major public relations venture of his Association. As a member of the NEA Legislative-Federal Relations Dvision, the Washington spokesman expressed the belief that he could best disclose the working of this significant public relations endeavor, which he termed "a job in legislative public relations." Pleading the cause of federal aid to education, Mr. Kendrix explained that the NEA is (Continued on page 4) Law Students to Graduate from Accredited School File Suit Against University Riot in Harlem; News Man Injured Supreme Court Acts Supreme Court Agts In 2 Cases Discrimination Against Railroad Employees And Bias In Schools Involved Dawson to Present Truman at National Council of Negro Women's Convention WOULD AVOID SUIT AGAINST "U" OF "L" At a recent meeting of the Executive Committees of the Louisville Branch NAACP, it was decided that for the present no suit would be filed in the effort to have Negroes admitted to the University of Louisville Instead it was agreed that a committee go to the board of trustees of the University of Louisville and see if a friendly adjustment of the situation could be worked out.
