The scrapping Of a single car

Scrap from 20 cars will build a

each year are the chief source of
the 10000, 900 tons of scarp metal

"This country's 10, 900 Neg
roes along with the great major
ity Of all Americans Of every race
and creed, were given renewed
faith in the democratic cause by
the historic eight point pronounce
ment last week before last of Pres

Although ultimate peace was
the object of the meeting, both

that there can be no lasting peace
until the scourge of Nazism is de-
teated," White said.
