V. B. Voonhees who retired when liia term ended a>t the close of the year. The ap pointment ia for the regular term of 10 years and aa a Jus tice^ Mr. Paige will receive an in crease in annual aatary from 110,000 to 112,QOO. A atai;, football player at How ard university in 1920, the nefn Justice later worked as a Pull man porter while ^ atudying law ttt Columbia. He served aa magis tratf ;for more than three years, being appointed to that position 1936. Justice Paige is 41, married, father of two children, and was'admitted to the New YoAc bar in 1926. He was on«a a deputy attorney general in charge of the woi^men’a com pensation divMon. There ia one other Negro con nected with special session court Mrs, Eunice H.' Carter, who was appointed by District Attorney Dewey an assistant district ait- torney, is assigned to prosecu tor in special sessions, by Mayor LaGuardia in Sept. Justice Paige was j>raised by Chief Justice William R. Baye^ of the special sessions court, al though he stated he had no pr«- vioua knowledge of the mayor’s decision. “Speaking for mjrself, Magist rate Myles A. Paige has aat her* fut brief assignments on aaver- al occasions and I have » very high opinion, of him,” fa« aaid. “H# has a very fine character and has fine ability. Ha will make an excellent Judge. We wil. welcome liim to th* beach.*’ At the Omega meeting, Mayor LaGuardia was introduced by Richard £. Carey, « former a^iatant diatrict' attornf^ and fraternity member, who deacrib- ed the mayor «a “a champion of human righU.” Mr. LaGuardia .in his talk said he did not con sider the situation of Negroes a problem” that should ihstve any different consideration than any other racal situation. “I have not and will not aP* point any one just becauae he is a Negro,” he said. “That won’t help the group. Every apoint- ment I’ve made t’li atand by, because it was made^ on merit, and that reflecta to the benefit of the group.” The speaker also said he had Just-'ieft a confererence on de pendent Negro children and be cause the city could not find enoug'h foster homes he would appeal to Harlem minifter* to encoumge an interest in auch children. The mayor also urged that the race marshal ita best thougbt and leadership since the time had passed when any group could be satisfied with “happy epigrams and laudatory atate- mei;ts.” • , In addition to the appoint ment of Mr. Paige first aa m.agia- trate and then aa Justice, May r LaGuardia last year also named ^ women. Miss Jane Bolin, to the domeetic relations court fm judge.

(ANP) Puts Olson On Spot When Kenny Ignored LOS ANGELES, (A N P) — While Kenny Washington was preparing to go professional in a game at Gilmore field Sunday, labor unions, student organiza- tioOT and pulblic figures renewed their criticism the committee and the coaehes responsible for barring the great all-American from the East'West football game in San Francisco on New Year’s Day. Forthright in his denunciation of the injustice waa Lieut. Governor Ellis E. Patterson who locaal weekly that failure name Wasihington waa "not sentiment of the maJorHy of the people.” Such prejudice is un American.

If his color was black, his soul was white and clean, for he was ‘washed in the blood of the Lamb.’ If the small re muneration he received for i^is s^^rvices and the demands made upon his income kept him poor, he was rich Jn lieavenly trea sure.” ed” because of a desire to play collegiate baseball this spring. This statement by theVgovernot is at odds with thiT"*S5ct that Washington declared openly be- tiiought of fore the invitation was denied not ptey him that he would collegiate baseball. While the governor’s secretary did say that “the reaction of the governor to the failure to ap point Kenny Wasliington a* one to participate in the East-West football game was' that the out standing foottbaU player on the Pacific Coast ht^d been eliminat ed,” he claimed that the fact Save Time And Mooey ‘ By Relaxing In The BUS Voing IliUMil Hi yirginia Hoior K«il RIOHMOND, vra. — Eleven peTVons have “reflected credit upon the state *f Vir ginia” lind have done their JoIm “superiatively well," were nam ed Sunday on the 3rd annual Virginia Honor Roll of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, i^ut standing daily newspaper and among Uie twelve was one Ne gro, P.
