BLACK RAPIST
^Continued from Page 1) Negroes were blamed In the Austin and Deery cases. Efforts are also being made to link the white man with eleven other major sex attacks and murders in hotels and hospitals. In practically all of them, police have sought Negroes as the culprits. Daily papers here have played up each assault and hundreds of Negroes have been picked up “on suspicion” as the white press fought fork the arrest and conviction of the “black morons” re-
sponsible.
Miss Austin, who was first hit with a brick while she lay sleeping and then assaulted after she awakened, said she thought her assailant was a colored man. The Chicago Tribune pointed out that “McCall is dark complexioned. dark haired, has black eyes and sharp features. In the half light, police said, he might easily be mistaken for a colored man.” That her assailant could not have been a Negro was revealed after McCall was arrested. He repeated his words to Miss Austin during the attack which were, “You know me. You’ve seen me in the hotel.” However, the ivoman “forgot” them when she started police searching for a colored prowler and remembered this statement only after McCall told it to officers.

Will Build Club At Cleveland
CLEVELAND, Sept. 30. (By Clarence L. Simmons for ANP)— Construction of the long awaited lake at the Maple Hollow Country club, an all-Negro play spot, is to begin within the next few days, providing the weatherman is good. The engineering and construction is to be handled by the firm of Paul Elwell. * Many evidences of healthy development and life are seen as a result of the Maple Hollow aggregallon’s hard and wise planning. Judging from their calendar of past and coming events, the public is at last showing the inter- t est merited by this beautiful tract of land. Although progress has been slow, it is the general opinion that the pace will accelerate with the actual starting of the laloe. One healthy indication is the interest shown by a sizeable group of youngsters who banded themselves ! together and are now known as j the Maple Hollow Valley Junior ' club.

Makale was the scene ‘of heavy fighting early in the Italo-Ethiopi-an war and was captured by U Duce’s troops on Nov. 8, 1935.

ST. LOUIS AFL
(Continued from Page 1) began conferring with Negro leadeds and union officers to settle the question. Rafferty said a group of colored painters recently applied for membership in the Painters’ union. He said his organization recognized the soundness of their claims that many members of the race prefer giving work to Negroes, with the result that organized labor was losing some business. The union leader declared it is understood the colored workmen will confine their activity to jobs in Negro neighborhoods, such as is being done successfully in Ghicago where there is an A. F. of L. union of Negro painters. No definite action has been taken on other skilled trades. If the local Painters’ union is organized, it will be the first colored skilled labor unit admitted to member ship by the Building Trades council. '

BENSON JIM CROW
ST. PAUL, <A\VF)—Gov.
spoke out in ringing tones against intolerance against racial and religious groups and national minori ties. The Governor’s statement ap poared in a letter of greeting which he sent to the World Congress Against Racism and Anti-Semitism which was held in Paris last week ills statement reads in part: The people of America, and of all i he world, face some of the gravest problems that have appeared in the whole history of western civilization. The future of our economic life and of oiy democratic processes are at stake. The economic problems which have arisen all around us must be faced. They must be brought into the political arena and openly debated without fear or favor. During those
square accounts with the invading Italian horde. Observers lie re say the recent Makale slaughter may explain Italy’s offer to the major European powers, to stop sending men and ammunition to Spain's rebel forces in return for the powers’ recog nition of Italy's conquest over Ethiopia. England’s status in the Mediterranean is still another dif fieulty with Italy that must be ironed out before overtures can he made on the Ethiopian situation It is generally conceded that neither England nor France will come to an agreement with Italy while there is large Italian armies in Spain. During the past six or eight months reports from Ethiopia have indicated continued and increasing resistance by the Ethiopian tribesmen to Italy’s army of occupation. Two weeks ago, from his refuge in London. Selassie sent a letter to the league of nations at Geneva, asserting: “My reports indicate that the resentment of my people Is hardening and continuing tirelessly.” ' In Rome, a high Government official said that reports of a Makale massacre were “not only false, but fantastic.” He continued: “Not only has there been no massacre at Makale, but there has been no untoward incident which could give rise to sucli a report.”
