ficial, Mr. Hendrie, is quoted as
saying that he could not under
stand why the boys were not ac-
«epted in view of the fact that
Brigg was asking for all the
riveters they could get.
The same difficulty was met
by Frank Smith, also qualified
as an aero-riveter and referred
to Briggs company by the MSB
S. His affidavit, made on Au
gust 28, states feat he was gi
ven two cards of introduction
from the employment service to
the company in a group of 30
anen.
About 20 of these men were
hired, mith says, some of them
after he had been interviewed.
H asserts that the employment
manager asked him to fill out
another application blank al
though he had already had one
on file. The affidavit states that
Smith was told he would be sent
for “if anything turns up,”
and that he should “come back
once in a while. ’ ’
He has been going back every
morning since ‘August 21, he
claims, but there are still no
openings.
The first eomplaint against
Briggs was made by Albert J.
Lucas, who said he was told that
a card asking him to report
for work was sent him “by mis
take.”

groes, loearked in the RichGaond
Hill section on the Burlington
city line, was completely de
stroyed by fire abotit 2:8® o’
clock Tuesday morning with
amage estimated to be close to
$50,000.
The origin of the fire is un
known. It was discovered by a
taxi dtivCr, who sent in the
alarm. When the fire depart
ment arrived the building, con
structed of brick with 13 large
class rooms and an auditorium,
was completely enveloped in
flames.
According to L. E. {^Ikes, su-
perintenednt of the Burlington
City Sbhool system,®the destruc
tion of the Negro school was the
first major fire loss in the en
tire system. The school program
for 1941-42 started Thursday,
Sept. 4, and the Monday enroll
ment showed 415 students. Mr.
Spikes stated to a reporter of
this paper that the projecting
machines other visual equip
ment was at the Jordan-Sellars
School, so missed being con
sumed by the flames. One hun
dred ftew books which were re
ceived Monday for the library,
and which had not been unpack
ed were lost as were new maps.
Tuesday a check was being made
to leirn the number of state
text books which were lost. It
was thought nearly all were de
stroyed since only a few had
been issued.
Insurance in the amount of
$30,000 was carried on the build
ing and $3,000 \ras carried on
the contents. According to Mr.
Spikes the insurance decs not
begin to cover the loss. He re
marked that every three years a
survey is made by a board on
which is an insurance man and
a real estate man. Insurance
carried on school property is
computed on the basis of the re
port made by the board. The
$30,000 carried was adequate to
cover this particular school pro
perty when the survey was made
three years ago.
The past week the 1941 survey
was made as it has been here
tofore but the report had not
been turned in prior to the fire.
It is thought that the fire be
gan in the auditorium, but only
guesses as to.exactly where and
how it happened can be made.

you can’t keep her if she does

Th*' conference wa» sponsored
by the Conference on Educa
tion and Race Relations, and saw
heads of departments of tea
chers colleges and representa
tives of state departments of ed
ucation present. Among these
were Dr. Arthur Haper, author,
sociologist and research worker
for the government, Atlanta;
who charged that Negroes are
discriminated against in the
makng and admnisterng of laws,
and that the police system in the
south k often osed to protect the
existing fedual system.
Speaking on the subject of
“The Negro and the liaw”, Dr.
Raper stated that the function of
the race line in the United
States is to provide a wholesale
way of enforcing permanent
class restrictions, in violaton of
of the democratic principles up
on which the country is founded.
He averred that dscrimination
against Negroes begins w'ith the
laws themselves, thtft there was
discrimination in the jtdhninis-
tering of the laws, and that o-
ther pressures were applied in
addition to and in spite of the
laws.
From facts gathere recently
by him for the Carnegie founda
tion, he told ef police chiefs in
southern tow’ns in which inves
tigations were carried on, who
boasted of the fact that they
were helping to curb potential
