pay attention. Already, White
House leaders are disturbed. Three
years ago, for example, had a Ne
gro soldier shot a white officer, in
some mix-up, there is no question
who would have been blamed, who
would have been punished. NOT
the white man! But today Wash

WHY?
They KNOW, the men in power
today, how IMPORTANT the atti-

is in an hour of stress. They
KNOW that national unity can be
only a myth, a bit Of political
mumbo-jumbo, as long as ONE

But, beginning today, there
CAN be one kind of UNITY. That
is the UNITY Of the colored peo-

many hours a day with the business
of making himself a better soldier?
My young friend understood nv

through her tears. Together we
outlined a busy routine for her,

And we also worked out sewing

they are that they aren't married!
But busy people do not drift. And

CRAMER SAYS

Washington, pt.-(ANP)-Law-
renee Cramer, executive secretary
Of the Fair Employment Practices
committee, in a discussion Of Q
groups work said last Monday
that the committee in the short
tiest had been in existence had
accomplished a very astonishing
amount Of good in breaking down
the prejudial barriers against Ne
gro employment in defense indu-
stries.
However,, Mr.. Cramer contin-
ued, 81 would much rather wait
until u staff is completely orga-
nized and functioning begore Civ
ing out any statement to the press
as to what we have accomplished.
81 feel that the greater amuont
of good can be accomplished if
we didn't try to say too much at
a position to do much talking
present. Then again, we are not in
we aren's even organized COM
pletely.
my desk is cluttered with cor
respondence which I am just get
ting around to and our quarters
are too small. When we are set
tied in larger quarters, we will
know which wab we are going and
can turn our press matters over
to a competent person, whom | be-
lieve we already have.
At present, there is much con-
Germ over the organization due
due to a leak in the committee by
which certain deliberations were
given out before the matter was
entirely settled.
The usual procedure in such mat
tiers is to wait until all persons
concerned have been cleared, APP
proved and certified before any
announcement is made. Because
of the unusual manner in which
information reached the public
there is some doubt as to whether
a much desired worker will be
assigned to the FEP.
However, arrangements are go
ing ahead to fill this bost if the
person desired is obtainable and
others will be assigned as Soon as
the Investigations of the civil ser
vice commission are cleared.
Mr.. Cramer is pleased with The
reception given the committee by
Negro newspapers and feels that
they will exert a potent force tc
bring about desired results if the
papers will string along with the
