HOLIDAY WEEKEND RELATIVELY QUIET FEW ARRESTS MADE AND TRAFFIC ACCIDENT REPORTED AS VERY LIGHT The city Crime Preventio Bureau reported "not a single juvenile arrest" during the Fourth of July celebration last week. "In fact, it was the quietest Fourth I've ever seen, Lt. Francis J. Peaks, assistant department head, disclosed. "Not a single juvenile violation was reported to us during the entire day. It wasn't until two days later that we received any complaints relative to fireworks being used by kids." The traffic division, likewise, reported a "very light" accident rate during the long holiday weekend. Lt. C. C. Oldham, acting chief of that department (Capt. L. E. Chaudoin, bureau superintendent, is ill in the Damon Runyon Memorial Cancer hospital, New York), said 177 accidents were reported, "most of which were minor." Only seven persons were injured in the accidents. One fatality was listed in the total. "We have no way of comparing these figures with last year's holiday rate," Oldham said," there is every reason to believe that this year's is much lighter than last." He attributed the decrease "for the most part" to the selective enforcement system instituted by the deparment June 12. Under this system a careful check is kept on the type and number of accidents occurring at various intersections and traffic patrolmen are dispatched to these areas to be on the alert for specific kinds of traffic violation. "It's incredible how much this system has acted as a deterent on accidents," Oldham said. the vice squad reported one liquor law violation, four lottery, one handbook, two crap games, and one disorderly house arrests last week. Vice officials, headed by Captain William E. Bindner, chief, nabbed the following: Leroy Moore, 37,, of [624?] W. Walnut, for possession of liquor on unlicensed premises. Moore was arrested at 531 S. Hancock. Thomas Anderson, 49, of 128 East Lee, arrested at 600 Finzer, for operating a crap game in a rear room. Anderson was fined $10 in police court. Mack Parrish, 43, was arrested at the Diamond Horseshoe bar, 1136 Zane, for operating a (Continued on page 8) NAACP Counsel Delivers Address To Fisk Race Relations Group NEA To Meet In Cities That Provide Maximum Degree of Equality Accidents may occur to all motorists but you can do much to prevent one happening to you by experiencing ordinary care when you drive.

Wendell, Lexington, Ky., was recently honored by the Bluegrass Medical Association and Eastern State Hospital for his contribution and services to community and state during his fifty years of practice. A 33rd degree Mason, Dr. Wendell heads the Negro psychanalytic ward at Easter State Hospital. ELECTED TO OFFICE IN STATE VFW ENCAMPMENT Dr. Marshall Jones, Lexington, Ky., was elected to the office of Department Surgeon at the 30th encampment of the Kentucky VFW, convening at the Lexington Courthouse. Dr. Jones served in the army with the 92nd Division in July. He held the rank of major. He organized the Early Basley Post 8110 in Lexington and served as post commander for four terms. He was nominated for his new office by Senior Vice Commander Paul L. Dunn. He was highly praised for his work by the commander of the Henry Lucas Post and past state commander Robert Lee Murphy. Dr. Jones polled so many votes that the other candidates withdrew and conceded to him. He was installed in office by the national chief of all the VFW's in the United States, Commander-in-Chief Clyde A. Lewis. NEGRO COLLEGE FUND DRIVE CLOSES JULY 22 The local campaign of the National Negro College Fund will close July 22nd. During the last week of the campaign July 17th, Mr. Tytus, National field Supervisor, New York office, and Dr. Rufus E. Clement, president, Atlanta university, member of National Council, will be in the city. In accord with the approval of the Baptist ministers and deacons meeting and the interdenominational alliance, the local committee designated Sunday, July 16th, U.N.C.F. Day in the churches. Each pastor has been asked for a generous donation for this worthy cause. Some of the larger donations to date are: Courier-Journal & Louisville Times $500.00 Mammoth Life & Accident Ins. Co. 500.00 Standard Oil Co. 300.00 Domestic Life Ins. Co. 100.00 Leroy Spears 100.00 Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore 100.00 Beecher Terrace Tenants by E. L. Pruitt 100.00 Dr. Bush Hunter, Lexington, Ky. 50.00 Atty. Theodore Wormser 50.00 At the close of the campaign all donations will be published. Reports are yet due from the various alumni Associations, Fraternities and Sororities, Medical Association, Local Bar Association, Business Men, Civic Clubs and other friends of education. In order that Louisville will do its part in this national cause, the public is asked to rally 100% during the last week of this campaign.

The splendid schools, colleges, universities, research laboratories, and schools of technology which America affords are the products of philanthropy of business leaders. Since this philosophy has served so well, we believe it devolves upon business men of today as well as upon the professionals, the artisans, mothers and fathers, and the citizens at large to make an investment in the future training of our children. We know of no better way to make a distinct contribution than by a donation to the United Negro College Fund. This fund is the "Community Chest" for thirty-two independent Negro colleges that are training our sons and daughters for their life work. Why is this fund necessary? Because the number of G. I.'s is being reduced in all schools. [?] the income - [?] Rockefeller Foundation which has contributed generously to education has about spent all its allocated funds -- Because the Rosenwald Fund which has built schools in the South for Negroes and has supplied money to help pay teachers' salaries is no more. Thus you see the colleges need your support. The modified educational trends indicate that in the not too far distant future the outstanding college will have not only a mixed student body, but also a mixed faculty. For these reasons we, the local committee, agreed to make an investment of our time, money, and energy to assist Louisville in raising its quota of $15,000 in the campaign. This is the last week of the effort, and we ask all persons interested in education to make out their checks to the National Negro College Fund and mail to the local office in the Mammoth Building.

Hospital attendants reported that he suffered a fractured right leg, fractured pelvis, deep lacerations of the head and neck, and a fractured jaw. In a statement of the Leader reporter hospital nurses said that they worked nearly ten hours in the emergency room to save Wilson, and they described his condition as grave. Roy Garner, Ellerise Ave., driver of the car, received only slight injuries. He was booked at police headquarters on charges of assault and battery and of damaging private property.

Bus Discrimination Is Protested Taylor Ballew, Bluegrass representative of the Louisville Leader, held a 45 minute conference with Southern Greyhound president, Guy Hugglett and vice-president, Jones, a few days ago. Ballew went to the officials to protest the practice of bus drivers reseating Negro passengers on the southbound Lexington-Knoxville buses. (A frequent rider on this route, Ballew has been a personal victim of this practice of the bus drivers.) However, Ballew reports that checking up after the conference with the bus officials, he has found that the practice has definitely been discontinued on the Lexington-Knoxville run.
