Workers Congress
Scores Bias, Tory
Attacks on WPA

WASHINGTON, June Robert
Robinson for CNA) - Racial dis
elimination on many relief prof.
ects, particularly in the South, and
the attacks of tories on the cultural
projects of the WPA were de-
nounced by Negro and white speak
ers at the national Right-to-W Work
Congress held here under the spon-
sorship of the Workers Alliance of
America.
The Congress opened with 1900
Negro and white delegates from
thirty-eight states, with hundreds
of other delegates reported still on
their way to Washington. Most of
the delegates were WPA workers,
or people on relief, but there were
also many from labor, community,
fraternal and other organizations.
Speakers included Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, wife of the President,
Congressman, Federal, State and
municipal officials.
Although the Negro jobless are
proportionately two and three
times as large in number as the
white jobless, Negroes are far be-
low this proportion on the WPA
rolls and relief lists, John P. Davis,
executive secretary of the Nation
al Negro Congress, told the confer
ence. He denounced racial discrim-
ination in relief as economically I'M
sound.
Professor Doxey Wilkerson, of
Howard University, assailed the
present campaign in Congress to
curtail and even totally abolish the
WPA cultural projects. Wilkerson
was introduced by Tom Quinn, of
the Artists Union of New York
City, who called for a struggle
against those who would destroy
the WPA.- Quinn pointed out that
the arts and cultural projects have
been used as focal point for the
attacks on WPA by the reactionary
bloc in Congress and the National
Chamber of Commerce.
Professor Wilkerson asserted
that the chief attacks on the cul-
tural projects of the WPA are
brought by those who fear the en-
ightenment of the American peo-
pie.
Enlightenment of the people
brings about the building of free
men," he said. "But we do not
have a system of work which al
lows men to lead that sort of life.
Certain forces don't want the peo-
pie to get what they do not now
have"
Dixie Delegates Hit Garner
A resolution, submitted by 100
Southern delegates, rejected Vice
President John Garner, of Texas,
as a 1910 candidate for President
of the United States and called for
support of "a man who has the
feeling for the common folks that
President Roosevelt has, who has
his liberalism, his practical sense
of the country's need, who has his
patriotism, and courage to keep our
nation at peace" The resolution
was unanimously adopted.
Other resolutions adopted as

The Russians apparently are at

Tornio, adjacent to Sweden at the

In the fighting on the Karelian
isthmus, the Firms also counter

Viipuri (Viborg). The dispatch said
the Firms captured war materials

With the Red army gathering
momentum in its drive across the
narrow middle section of Finland
toward the Gulf of Bothnia, the
special committee of the League of
Nations at Geneva adopted a re-

Neglected Kids

Neglected Kids
Seems to us we nave made this
squawk before. for every Christmas
1t raises our ire 10 see youngsters
locked up alone in automobiles on
Main street.
The kids are left while the par
ents go shopping and they look
little like forlorn monkeys cooped
up in a glass cage. We can sylnpa-
thize, of course, with the parents
who otherwise would have the an
noyance of children tagging along.
But the burden of our sympathy
rests with the youngsters.
Travelling around the stores is
half the fun of Christmas and there
wouldn't be any fun TO it at all if
it were not for the children.

Golden Chariot,
The Real Thing,
Comes to Town

A modern golden chariot is
locked up in the garage at the
Shoreham Hotel today.
1t is a 12-cylinder 1910 model Lin
coin sedan, the property of Maj.
Graham c. Dugas, colorful Georgian
who struck it rich a few weeks ago,
discovering-after Is years of min
ing work-a lode in gold mine that
is expected to yield millions.
Maj. Dugas arrived in Washing
ton this week on his honeymoon,
driving a car the like of which has
probably never been seen here be-
fore.
Attendants at the garage said he
told them the inside of the car is
outfitted with gold. The door ham
dies are gold, the dashboard and
ceiling light fixtures are gold-and
even the ash trays, they said.
He left the car parked in the
Shoreham garage while he made .
flying trip to New York with his
bride They are expected to return
to Washington later this week.
Maj. Dugas' strike is located near
Dahlonega, Ca, scene of mining
operations for many years. He dis
covered an untouched lode in ex-
ploratory work in an old mine. Some

Moral Embargo
Extension Required in
National interest," Says
State Department

The United States today extended
it's so-called moral embargo"
against the sale of American air
planes to countries guilty of bombing
civilians to apply to strategic secrets
involved in the production of avia-
ton gasoline.
The moral embargo has been
applied in effect to Japan and
Russia. 1t recently was extended
to cover materials essential to the
manufacture of aircraft such as
aluminium and molybdenum, as we'll
as finished airplanes and parts.
The State Department announced
today that "the national interest"
required the extension of the ban
to technical information of strate-
gic importance in the production OF
high quality aviation gasoline.
So far, the moral embargo" does
not apply to aviation gasoline or
other oil products themselves.
The moral embargo" is an extra
legal policy, depending for enforce
ment only upon public opinion and
cooperation of manufacturers and
exporters.
