NAACP Brotherhood Week Promoters Spurn Communist Front Advances Charges of "conspiracy and sabotage" were hurled at communist front groups for attempting to subvert the NAACP Brotherhood Week rally by leaders of labor and the Negro community today. W. J. Bassett, secretary-treasurer of the A.F. of L. Central Labor Council, Albert T. Lunceford, Republican Head Warns on Spurious Fund Solicitors A warning has been received from Robert S. Barnes, chairman of the Orange County Republican Central committee, that persons who are not affiliated with the recognized and legally empowered Republican Finance committee may be soliciting funds in the county. Barnes quoted from a letter which he received from the Republican State Central committee, signed by Charles S. Thomas, state finance chairman, that "At least one representative of the National Precinct Workers, Inc... is actively soliciting funds in California ... This ... is to advise you that the National Precinct Workers Inc., is not connected with the official Republican party organizations." Barnes stated that all contributions to the Republican party should be made only to official finance workers, all of whom will be duly accredited by the Central secretary-treasurer of the Greater Los Angeles CIO Council and James H. Henderson, executive secretary of the Southern California area council of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issued a joint statement charging that "communist-line groups are attempting to give people the impression that they are associated with the NAACP Rally." The Brotherhood Week rally is scheduled for the Shrine auditorium tomorrow night. "By trying to get across the impression that they are connected with the rally, these communist-front groups hope to undermine the honest efforts of legitimate organizations to solve, in a democratic way, such difficult problems as those which have been raised by the failure of law enforcement in Florida," the statement read. Only non-communist groups have been invited to sponsor this rally and only non-communist organizations are participating, according to Anderson who charges that the "communists" would like to put a red label on this honest effort to better American democracy because the reds would hate to see racial discrimination eliminated. If this were to happen, their propaganda would fall apart." This statement follows closely on one released earlier this week by the National Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor which pointed out that "such anti-American conduct (racial violence in Florida) is especial- County Men Serve On Hoag Hospital Directors' Board Twenty-five representative citizens of Orange county are in the group appointed by the Presbyterian churches to select seven members to serve on the board of directors of the Hoag Memorial Hospital, Presbyterian, and represent their communities for the coming year.

Woman on Loose In Auto; Hits Oil Tanker ATLANTA (AP) — Anyone who turns a woman loose with a gadget like an automobile gear shift must be prepared to accept some responsibility for what happens. That, in effect, was what Georgia's court of appeals held yesterday in a suit brought against an automobile sales company by Mrs. Alma Burke who was hurt last fall when she piled a new automobile into an oil truck while trying to decide whether to buy the car. Mrs. Burke said that after only a short ride the salesman let her effort to better American democracy because the reds would hate to see racial discrimination eliminated. If this were to happen, their propaganda would fall apart." This statement follows closely on one released earlier this week by the National Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor which pointed out that "such anti-American conduct (racial violence in Florida) is especially harmful to the good name of the State of Florida and to the international prestige of our country at this critical hour when it is beset by so many heavy responsibilities in rallying the freedom-loving peoples of every creed and color for the defense of human decency, liberty and peace against communist subversion and Russian aggression." The NAACP rally will be addressed by Walter White, national executive director of that organization who will report on latest developments in Florida terrorist activities against Negroes, Catholics and Jews. Walter O'Keefe, star of stage and radio, will be Master of Ceremonies at the Shrine affair which begins at 8:00 p.m. O'Keefe is the popular Quiz Master on the NBC "Double or Nothing Show."

Oklahoma City Woman Still Alive After Death Date OKLAHOMA CITY — Remember Mrs. Heart? She's the anonymous Oklahoma City woman who three years ago said she was given only a year to live and asked the nation's newspaper readers how she could spend $10,000 in savings to enjoy her remaining days. Mrs. Heart is still alive—two years after doctors said she would die from a heart ailment. She said yesterday she is "living very carefully," adding: "All I do is try to forget things and just live from day to day. I won't permit myself even a little bit of overexertion." Mrs. Heart received thousands of suggestions on what she should do with the $10,000. But she decided to live out her days frugally as usual, not spend the money and "pamper my heart." "I'm tickled to death to be doing so well," she explained. CHOKED with stomach GAS? THANK HEAVENS! Most attacks are just acid indigestion. When it strikes, take Bell-ans tablets.
