Former National Committee Head Backs Up "Boss" Crump Charge
CARROLL WILL NOT WITHDRAW The matter of the visit of Jouett Ross Todd, Republican leader in Louisville and Jefferson County, and National Committeeman from Kentucky, to the office of Alfred M. Carroll, attorney and Third Party candidate for Congress from the Third District, has been the sub ject of much publicity and has created a great deal of talk. Mr. Carroll has explained over and over again to those who have approached him, that Mr. Todd came to his office for the purpose of getting him to withdraw from the race. Mr. Todd, of course, is interested in the reelection of Republican candidate Thruston B. Morton. Carroll says that when the G.O.P. leader asked, "What would be necessary to get you to withdraw?", he told him money was no consideration and that there was "no price tag"--Mr. Carroll did not say that money was offered. When the matter of Carroll being associated with Communists was intimated by Todd, the race candidate said that he told him if he, Todd, could prove they were Communists he would withdraw. In registering with Mr. Todd some of his complaints against the Republican Party, Mr. Carroll reminded him that Congress failed to carry out a 1944 platform pledge to relieve discrimination against Negroes. Carroll told a Leader representative that he was in the race for Congress on the Third Party ticket to stay. [Photo] Alfred M. Carroll

Education Fight On
EDUCATION MOVE STIRS CITIZENS SAYS STATE COLLEGE HEAD WOULD LURE MUNI INSTRUCTORS; COMMITTEE IN ACTION A Negro "makeshift" equal education plan as organized and proposed by the politicians and educators at Frankfort, and handed down to Negroes of Kentucky by the merged heads of the University of Kentucky, white, and Kentucky State college, Negro, had reaction in Louisville this week, and the colored citizens are indignant and aroused. It reached the city that the Kentucky State college idea might have some effect on Louisville Municipal college. In fact when a committee of well known citizens was rushed together for the purpose of making certain investigations, it was reported that R. B. Atwood, president of Kentucky State College was making "hurried efforts to entice" outstanding members of the Louisville Municipal College faculty to join with him in the Kentucky State College "joke." The plan to establish a Jim Crow graduate school at Frankfort was regarded by members of the committee as a "brazen subterfuge and an educational travesty", and it was stated that the advanced proposition would not settle the issue of equal education opportunity for colored children in Kentucky, and would not meet the edict of the Supreme Court of the United States. President Atwood was charged with attempting to entice two or three members of the Municipal College faculty who had been with the institution since its beginning seventeen years ago, by "tagging them with a near $6,000 salary proposition", regarded not only as a violation of the state law of $5,000 as a salary limit to state employees, but as "nothing less than an unworthy scheme to violate professional ethics." It was stated that no Ph.D. at Municipal had ever received more than $4,800, more often around $4,000, and that to get around the law $4,800 was offered for regular day service and $830.00 for summer school making the total $5,680.

BIRACIAL GROUP TO TEST PARK SEGREGATION A case to test the park segregation practices in Louisville is about to become a reality. For several years the idea has been on the agenda of the Louisville Branch N.A.A.C.P. At a meeting of a Civil Rights committee headed by young white and colored citizens a resolution was submitted and adopted which called for the holding of a picnic at one of the parks used exclusively by whites since the advent of Chickasaw, a so-called park for Negroes, to invite arrest for a court test case. The resolution provides that the Mayor, parks director and the press be notified of the place and date, which will be announced later. The city officials would be informed in advance of the refusal of the participants to abide by the present enforced Jim Crow restrictions, which is a city ordinance, and regarded as illegal. The biracial committee organizers of the Civil Rights group are Delbert B. Vance who introduced the resolution and Andrew E. Wade, young business man. Letters have been sent to Mayor Charles Farnsley, Democratic nominee, and James G. Stewart, Republican candi- position on segregation in the Louisville public parks. date for Mayor, to state their

HEALTH HAZARD FIGHT TO MAYOR By J. Edward Haycraft Mayor Charles P. Farnsley will be requested at his next regular session to take action to eliminate the health hazard and public nuisance by the Shamrock Iron and Metal Company, 536 S. 12th St. According to residents of the area immediately surrounding the metals company, Sam Cohen, the pro- mits junk dealers who sell him their wares, to stack filthy, odorous and germ laden rags along the side-walks and street in such a manner as to constitute a constant threat to the health of occupants of nearby homes. Sometime ago the Fire and health authorities were notified of the nuisance and Fire officials ordered Cohen to make it possible for the tenants of the second floor housing the metal company, to have a rear exit through the yard, which was clogged with huge stacks of scrap iron. Cohen is said to have complied with the order but is reported to have later evicted the tenants. From all indications the Health Department failed to act. The neighbors report that the junk salesman not only stacks the rags in front of the property he occupies, but in front of their residents as well. An inspection of the premises disclosed also that rags were stacked inside the firm's quarters in piles ten to twelve feet high, and in some places almost touching the ceiling, thereby constituting a constant threat of a fire originating in the rat infested building which would endanger the entire area.
