HOT LAWYER INDICTS LOUISVILLE NEGROES INTEREST LACKING SAYS WEAVER ATTORNEY IN COLUMBIA RIOT CASE NAACP MEMBERSHIP RALLY SPEAKER Negroes in Louisville are moving backward instead of forward, charged Maurice Weaver, white attorney from Chattanooga, Tenn, in the opening membership campaign rally of the Louisville Branch N.A.A.C.P., at Broadway Temple Sunday, March 23. Pointing to the local segregated park situation as a good point in example, the guest speaker, who served in the European and Pacific theatres during the war, castigated Louisville Negroes for their apathetic attitude on civic matters. He said the city parks could be opened to all the citizens, if Negroes would fight for them. Advising his listeners, of approximately 500 persons, that he was not "in love with them," Weaver said that he learned in the war that "all men are men, and democracy must be preserved." He told how he entered into the Columbia, Tenn., race riot case three months after he came out of the war, as a gesture toward preserving the democratic process of government. The native Tennessean, acting as council for the N.A.A.C.P., is credited with playing a major part in the fight for the lives of the 23 or more defendants in the Columbia, Tenn., riot. Weaver declared success of the outcome of this affair could be traced directly to the solidarity of Negroes in the "Mink (Continued on page 4) ATTACKS FIGHT ON LILIENTHAL COLORED STUDENT WINS PRIZE IN LOCAL ART CENTER EXHIBIT Hosie Bradley, 13, student at Jackson Junior High School, and Charles Booth, 11, of the Henry Clay School, in the western part of the city, captured two third-place prize ribbons in the annual Art Exhibit, sponsored by the Louisville Art Center Association this week. A surrealistic water color entitled "Horse-Racing," was Bradley's entry and an un-named painting, a riot of color, depicting a railroad engine was Booth's entry. More than 40 pictures were entered in the exhibit. The winners were Hosie Bradley, 13, 641 Burnett, third place; David Eberhard, 13, 1125 E. Broadway, first; Mary Louis Schroeder, 16, Shively, second; Janet Albie, 11, 3627 Taylor Boulevard, first; Charles booth, 11, 3129 River Park Drive, second, and Oscar Eaves, 9, 1431 S. Clay, third. The children under 12 competed separately. WOMAN ACCUSED OF SOLICITING DATES FOR TEEN-AGE DAUGHTERS Accused by police of sending her two teen-aged daughters to a man's room for immoral purposes, Mrs. Francis M. Johnson, 39, 927 W. Madison, was arrested early this week after police, working with juvenile authorities, reportedly found stolen clothing in her possession and obtained evidence of pandering. The two girls, aged 14 and 15, were forced by their mother to shop-lift and to accept dates with men for money, police said. Slated on six charges of larceny, one of pandering and another of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, Mrs. Johnson was placed under a $600 bond and the case continued in Police Court. INSIDE MAN GETS PUT "INSIDE" Advising a woman that he could get her "let off" from a jail sentence, Alonzo Rogers, 614 S. Ninth Street, was arrested and fined $10 in police court this week, when arresting officers told the court that Rogers was in the basement of the City Hall soliciting bond business. Told to stay out of the City Hall basement, Rogers was placed under a $500 bond to keep the peace for six months. -- Furs were worn chiefly by men in the Middle Ages, according to the Britannica Encyclopaedia. SLEEPERS AT WORK IN BATH ROOM? For the second time in less than a month, police arrested Huell Snow and Gregory Terrell, 509 South Eighth, on a vagrancy charge. The two men, according to "Fashion-Plate" Hayden, the arresting officer, said the men were taken into custody after complaints. He said the men broke into an apartment house at the above address and were found sleeping in the bathroom. Both men denied [the?] charges stating that they worked there. The case was continued in police court until April 2. PRINCIPALS AT THE N.A.A.C.P.

LIBERIAN GROUP IN SECOND MEET The Kentucky Liberian Centennial Committee held its second meeting since its creation, at the Chestnut Street Y.M.C.A. Saturday, March 22. The Committee decided to invite the seventy-odd members of the Advisory Council of the Committee to come to Louisville tend a meeting at Madison Ju- during the K.N.E.A. week to at- nior High School, Friday, April 18, for the purpose of drawing up plans for arousing State-wide interest in the celebration of the Liberian Centennial and Victory Exposition in Monrovia, July 26, 1947-1949. One of the projects recommended to be considered by the Advisory Council is a series of flag-day exercises in various communities, when the Liberian flag will be raised with appropriate ceremonies and information regarding Liberia given out. ASKS $20,000 OF L. N. AND UNION Nine colored employees of the L. & N. Railroad filed suit for $20,000 against the company and six labor unions this week, in Federal Court here. The men, Thomas Hall, John Slaughter and seven other workers, who live in Covington, Ky., charge discrimination in being denied the right to promotion, seniority and other privileges, regardless of whether they are members of a craft union or of African descent.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED SUSPECTS FOUL PLAY IN DEATH INVESTIGATING DEATH OF MAN REPORTED KILLED BY SWITCH EN Considering the possibility of foul play, police, according to the coroner's office, are still investigating the death of Thomas Rankins, 50, 3700 Southwick, who was apparently hit and killed by a switch engine at the grade crossing, 36th and Woodland, early Sunday morning, March 22.
