Mr. Richardson could not be reached for a statement today and it was learned that he left the city last night but his destination is not known. The charge against Richardson was a matter of much concern around the court house today and numerous members of the bar have promised to volunteer their professional services if necessary in his defense. Beginning work on his father’s truck farm and later assisting him in the insurance business, Attorney Richardson attended local schools and was graduated from the University of Illinois, working to pay his way at that institution. Ever an aggressive individual whom many persons might misunderstand, the former legislator fought his way to the fore of MidWestern life and position through sheer will and drive in combination with his native ability. Successively he became outstanding as a fighting attorney, a civic worker, and prominent in social circles, a very militant political figure and campaigner, and Y. M. C. A. worker. In 1932. he was elected to the

ASK CHURCHILL TO REPORT ON BRITISH BIAS
NEW YORK—Prime Minister Winston Churchill, conferring in Washington, D. C., with President Roosevelt, was asked by the NAACP last week to tell this country what has been done about discrimination against American Negroes by British agencies operating here. In a wire to the chief official of embattled Britain, sent Christmas Eve. the NAACP said: “Your American visit offers an ideal opportunity for an announcement of remedial action taken by the British government on the five types of discrimination against Negroes by British authorities here, which were detailed in a letter to you of September 26. Many thoughtful Negro and white Americans continue to ask what steps have been taken regarding these acts”.

A colorful arid unpredictable figure in politics and public life. Attorney Richardson defied any group of persons or powers-that-be whenever it was expedient to do so or it was his wish. His dash and daring won him the regard of his enemies, his slashing attacks on things meeting his disfavor won him the tremendous loyalty and admiration of the thousands of common people. They regarded him as their champion, reckless of odds, eager to fight, ready to listen. Rising rapidly in legal circles, the militant attorney has figured in many cases which have come to wide public attention. He has sat as special judge in several of the important local courts, has served as counsel for the H. O. L. C. as special prosecutor and in othercapacities. His clients were from all walks and all races. When the Free Legal Aid bureau was formed last year, he was appointed national director. Aside from his membership and participation in many groups and their activities, he became a member of the State Welfare board, re ceiving the appointment March 11, 1940, effective March 20 of that year. He was appointed to the position by then Governor M. Clifford Townsend and the term was for four years. A statement released to the press at that time stated: “There is such grave responsibility and great opportunity for service to our group this being such a momentous job, that I shall very carefully study the situation for several months in order to become thoroughly familiar with the activity and the problems of my people. Naturally I am, as always interested in seeing that equal benefits are given
to all”.

Day and night this work goes on with marines handling the work at night. But since the declaration of the war, work has increased to such an extent, the worker is able to sit at his desk only brief periods to pull the steady flow of containers and pass them on to the coders.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1. (ANP) — The American Association of University Professors meeting in its 28th annual convention at Stevens Hotel here last Sunday rebuked Gov. Eugene Talmadge of Georgia for his “political intereference” in the state university and indorsed the action taken Dec. 4 by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, which suspended several Georgia educational institutions from membership in the
association.
Talmadge ejected Dean Walter D. Cocking from the university last Fall because he charged the dean favored a graduate school for both Negroes and whites. At the time of the dean’s dismissal, the governor stated, “There’ll be no Negroes in the same schools with white folks in Georgia and there’ll be no men in our system who ad-
vocate it.”

They are particularly harm-

“Joe”, as he was affectionaely known by all who knew him, will remain an unforgettable character of the horse racing days of this community. He was known as one of the best horse handlers of his day. He cared for Axtell, former world champion, stallion trotter. Axtell set a record of 2:12 minutes for the mile trot and, following the setting of this record was purchased by a syndicate for $112,000 and placed on the Warren Park farm of Mr. Ijams. where he remained until he died.

ment from another point of view. It was highly significant that their very color, the basis of discrimination in time of peace, was considered prima facie evidence of unquestionable royalty in time of war. as I have elsewhere written. Similary, there is no pride among the Negro people, not only in New York and Philadelphia, but throughout the country, that, in this year of another war emergency, the War Department has recognized the advisability of having on duty at these important points men of undoubted loyalty in whom it reposes complete confidence and trust. That these men will do their full, complete duty, to the satisfaction of the War Department and the citizens of New York and Philadelphia, goes without saying. Peace and Honor To Prevail United in heart and action, with unity of spirit, America has begun the march of democracy to that ultimate victory to which President Roosevelt has referred. Negro soldiers and civilians are a part of this mighty defense effort for the preservation of those ideals cherish-
ed by our Nation.
The totalitarian, dictatorial nationals – Germany, Japan, Italy, have unleashed forces leading to their undoing. The road may be rough, tough and hard. At the end, however, the bed rock of individual liberty will still be standing, the brutal, savage, treacherous nations will have capitulated, and peace and honor, sanity and reason, once again will prevail in
the comity of nations.
For the achievement of these ends, the Negro people have dedicated themselves to an unshakable determination, along with their fellow citizens, that the civilization we have developed shall not perish
from the earth.

“Best available figures on the number of Americans killed in action, or died from wounds received in action, in all the wars the United States has fought since 1776 show a total of 344,450. In the four-year period, 1937-1940, tu-
berculosis killed 254,668.
“Civilian air-raid casualties in England during a ten-month period in 1940-41 were approximately 36,000. During a comparable ten-
period, tuberculosis took
50.000 lives in the United States. “We cannot afford complacency regarding tuberculosis in this country. True enough, the fight against the disease is being won. The death rate has been forced down from first to seventh places as a cause of death for the population as a whole. It has been cut threefourths in the last thirty-odd years.
