r ' ? Saturday, May 1^ }?64 Militant, Prog A Matter Of Fact,. .Among the thin^'n I would like to clear up concern the "Jo" Baker P1..U II !J ? * w.v/<n viuu mciaeni . , . Ana wniie a vast majority of folks are ? of the opinion that whatever I have to say is meaningless, they evi- v drntly have forgotten that while Miss Baker was given the brush by Sherman. Billingsley, the entertainer's quest for publicity found the B'way columnist Walter Winchell holding the bag. And what a sad a/.eking they gave him! . . . After being called upon by members of ^ the Negro press to give my impression of the dAstardly Jim Crow : act I called upon Miss Baker in her dressing room at the Boxy Theatre wh' re she wis appearing at the time. She admitted right off the hat that **it teat a filthy business" and, else that the remembered nodding a cheery **Hello r t*y WW upon em- I' Bering the Stork Club. She had no recollection as to whether Wincheii | was still in the Stork Club when she and her party discovered they were victims of a discriminating plot . . . She remembered that the ! " then 7th Deputy Police Commissioner (William Rowe) teas contacted <> along with other leading Harlem cltisens. When asked, "Why didn't fou contact WWf", she stated, "In the exciting msoments, I guess, never gave it a thought." ... But somebody did. In fact several v busy-bodies realised that this teas it. Opportunity knocks but ossce. Their goat would be the B'way sage, Mr. Columnist, himself. Prior to seeing MUs Baker I had spent several days up hi Bostou f helping to raise over fifty thousand dollars for the Damon Runyou Fund. Up there I learned how WinrheU had aided the widow of , policeman killed in Miami by spear-heading a drive for more tikes sixty thousand dollars . . . And speaking of Miami, Remember It wee ' ; Winchell ? and nobody else, but ? who made it possible for i ' Negroes to entertain in White clubs and for Negroes to attend those same nite spots . . . And among the **things you never knew tUI now" ] (Beg pardon, Walter), I told Miss Baker at the time of my interview with her, "I will support yon in any action yen take against Sherman r- Btttfngsley."

I looked out from the bright lights across a sea of faces and saw that big Longines clock over the stadium and I said to myself, "It won't be long now." I It took just ten rounds and I won the Middleweight title back again. Lord love that Longines clock! George Bannon, chief timer, timed the rounds with a Longines, I hear. It is the greatest watch in sports. It's my good luck watch and it should be yours too. Itii beautiful and a real champidn. It's well called "the world's most honored watch". I offer congratulations to Coxy Coles and Gene Krupa, the world's Eoatest "skin" men, on the opening of their drum school ...

On February 23, 1886, Charles ' Martin Hall, a 22-year-old student at fl M Oberlin, O., prepared a crucible for an electrolytic experiment in the woodshed at the rear of his home. Heat from the electric current reduced cryolite in the crucible to a molten mass. Into this substance, Hall added some aluminum oxide. Hours later the current was shut off. The mass cooled. The brittle sla? was broken up. Out of the crust came shiny aluminum buttons. And that was the day our mod- ^H| Wr I ern aluminum industry was bom.
