WHITE MINISTER CALLS
FOR FAIR PLAY
Wilmington — The Looney case,
w^ch has been in the limelight
Jor some days, has elicited much
comment in Wilmington. Recent
ly speaking for the two-member-
minority of the five-member city
civil service commission, the Rev.
J. F. Herbert, ministerial member
of the commission, issued the fol
lowing statement relative to the
case involving Officer Looney
who was accused of cursing a
white waitress and assaulting a
discharged Negro war veteran,
while the officer was intoxicated.
The statement of Rev. Herbert
follows:
“1 feel that the time has come
to say that the decision of the
civil lervicc commission not to
have the hearing of the Looney
case last Monday night was a i
to 2 decision.
'T myself, made the motion be
fore the commission that the hear-,
liig be held. My motion was so-'
cunded by Dr Murchison, but it I
was defeated by the other, three |

Since tne Workers Defense
League is opposed to ail forms oX
slavery, its national executive
committee has been on record as
lavoring lull pay for labor per-
termed in camps, and as
signment of CCte, at a|equate
cempensation, to work of nation
al importance for which they are
qualiiied and which they are will
ing to do. Now the WDL calls
upon other labor organizations al
so to protest against the system
now in vogue.
Renewed attention has been foc
used on the matter by the resign
ation of Paul G. Voeliter, manager
of the CPS camp in Germfask,
I .Michigan. “This action is taken
ioniy after familiarising myself
I llioroughly with the situation,*'
•Mr. Voelker, a Michigan resident
of independent means, declared.
"1 have found the selective serv
ice treatment of men in this CK
camp to be the re-establishment
of slavery in this nation and the
punishment of men whose con-
jcience does n o t permit their
participation in war. As a liber
ty-loving American citizen and ,
ex-serviceman, I cannot take part I
in the administering of a system j
of unpaid forced labor.**
