BURGLARS STILL "ON THE PROWL"

A West Side and an East Side business establishment listed losses resulting from robberies over the week-end. Crawford's Barbecue and Cafe, 1403 N. Zarzamora, was entered after one of the screen doors was broken. The owner, J. W.

Mrs. Ella Jefferson, 1633 N .

An Earl street resident who stopped to visit a lounge in the 3500 block, Neb­ raska street, left a purse in the car in which she was riding with two G. I.'s. While the complainant was inside her escorts picked up two other women and left, according to police, for another place in the 1900 block of E. Commerce. When the two G.l. 's returned for the complainant, the purse and money, of course, were gone.

More than a few Eastsiders were victims of identical acts of costly malic - ious mischief as youthful vandals slashed automobile tires only to be appre - hended later in the downtown area, Saturday night.

Lewis Smith, 42,of 102 Goldsmith, discovered his damage when he returned to his parked car at 600 S. Rio Grande. Mrs. Myrtle Greenwood, 610 S.

WHO OWNS THE NEGRO COMMUNITY?

Have you noticed how many business organizations are sponsoring political THIS programs on T.V. ? I heard a political indoctrination program the other day that made a vicious attack on Thtugood Marshall. The commentator regard­ ed Mr. Marshall as "unfit" for the recent appointment he received from Pres­ I ident Kennedy. It is interesting to note how most "conservatives" select Ne ­ groes for their attack while appealing to Negroes for their support. Govern­ or Barnett seems to offer the best image for what is known as "Constitution - BEJ..,IEV E al Co':lservatism. " The business organizations that pay for these political. .. programs seem to be against free Negro leadership. By 0. Jones One of the difficulties the Negro community faces in expressing the comm - unities objection to this vicious attack on Thurgood Marshall is that the spon­ soring organization holds mortgages on many of the homes in the Negro com­ munity. It is interesting to observe how mllch silence can be bought with the And Ye sha II hear of wors an:J rumors of wars; see mortgage. Of course, "'e all know that silence is not in the contract.
