sponsible officials. l believe no matter
how badly the situation is, we can take
it.
About six weeks after this talk. in
"This Day" we say, watch carefully
every step of the way the manner in
which the gasoline sitaution is handled
by the public and by the officials in
charge This may be a clue to what
conditions will be like after the war
For instance,-we have plenty Of
gasoline in this county and plenty Of
men out Of work. But where is the
link, the inertia or the power to move
this plenteous supply of gasoline and
distribute it to those who need it?
After the war, we shall have practi-
cally the same situation, only on a
larger scale. We will have many idle
hands and huge surpluses in this coun-
try. The same solution we use for the
gasoline situation on a small scale and
on one product may work exactly the
same way on a world wide scale.
Solve this gas problem and you will
have gone a long way towards solving
one Of the main causes of war and one
of the chief problems Of peace.

366TH CAPTURE
YANKEE DIVISION

CAMP EDWARDS, Aug Maj.
Gen. Roger W. Eckfeldt, commanding
the Yankee Division and all his staff,
together with an officer from the War
College and the 9Th Army Corps, were
captured in a surprise maneuver by
officers and men of Co. D. 366th Infan-
try, from Fort Devens today as war
between the Red and Blue armies got
underway.
An unguarded sandy road delivered
more than forty officers into the hands
of the invading Red Army. The men
of Co. D were in armored trucks each
theoretically representing three tanks.
Behind a supposedly impregnable de-
tense the staff of the Blue Army was
planning its moves against them. All
main approaches to the camp were
bristling with defenses. But this road
had been overlooked.
Alnie of ten trucks loaded with
troops came roaring up to the COM
mand post of the Blue Army. Out of
the trucks piled the armed troops,
rushed up and surrounded the sur
prised officers.
officers Crestfallen
With the invading force was 1st
Lieut.. Albert Barkin, an umpire in
these war games. Addressing the
crestfallen officers in command of the
defense he said: Gentlemen, it is my
duty to inform you that you have just
been captured"
Among the officers taken in addition
to Maj.-Gen. Eckfeldt were Lieut.-Gen.
Leslie McNair of the Army War Col
lege, Washington, D. c., Maj.-Gen.
Karl Truesdell of the Sixth Army
Corps with headquarters at Provi-
dence, R. I. the intelligence and liason
officers.
Their captors were Lieut.. Raymond
N. Buffam and 1t. Charles A. Pratt
of the tank unit. Such a disaster in
war time would have thrown the de-
Tending army into chaos, But the
action went on as military problem.

THE F.E.P. COMMITTEE

With the committee on Fair En-
ployment Practice organized and ready
for work, it is everybody's response
bility to cooperate in making the
Presidents order effective. At the
outset there should be a clear under
standing of what the executive order
means. Briefly it amounts to this:
l. All vocational training pro-
grams for defense operated under
government supervision must be
open to all persons desiring training
for defense industries, regardless of
the persons trace" color, creed or
national origin. This includes all
courses in industrial skills operated
under the supervision of the WPA,
NYA, U. S. Office of Education, and
local programs receiving assistance
from the federal agencies.
2. All contracts granted after
June 25 when the executive order
was issued, by the U. S. government
(including all its departments and
agencies like the Army, Navy,
Marine Corps, Office of Production
Management and others) must have
clauses in them which state that the
company or companies getting the
contract will not discriminate
against any worker because of his
"race," creed, color or national
origin.
The first task before the committee
is to find out where discrimination
actually exists. This can be done
through bona fde factual complaints
from persons who because Of "race,"
creed, color or national origin have
been refused vocational training at
any of the specified centers or have
been denied employment in any de-
fense industry. The complaints should
be sent to the Committee on Fair En-
ployment Practice, Mark Etheridge,
Washington, D. C. The
committee then can begin its work.
Its duties are to investigate the COM
plants and, if found valid, to take
measures necessary to enforce obedi-
ence of the Presidents order.

first of invited speakers in the person
of the Editor of THE GUARDIAN,
who spoke for ten minutes in apprecia-
ton of the project and in behalf of the
publication which will be forty years
old on Nov. 9, 1941. Mrs. Steward
began by saying she might not speak
so well but she was going to improve
on most speakers and talk into the
mike (and not on either side), so at
least what she said could be heard. In
spite of its being Sunday, the audience
broke into applause at the close of her
remarks.
Photographer Brown has on several
occasions been present to take pictures.
The subjects each evening the past
week have been especially interesting.

COMING GOLF


Preparations for the U. G. A.
Championships at the Ponkapoak
course are really on a grand scale. Two
new dressing and shower rooms are be-
ing constructed to facilitate handling
the expected host of golfers from all
parts of the country. The greens, fair
ways and tees are groomed to a gloss
and will be reconditioned each morning
during the tournament; divot holes re
filled; the bite of pitch shots to the
green ironed out; markers moved on
the tees and the pins moved on the
greens. Men will lbe stationed at each
green to rake the sand traps and the
gallery will be handled by experienced
State police led by Capt. Rooney him
self. Additional checking facilities for
three hundred bags of clubs are being
set up with twenty-four hour police
protection for clubs and trophies. A
caterer will be on hand with an addi-
tional outdoor dining room where ex-
cellent la carte meals will be served
at very reasonable prices. Glass A cad
dies are being recruited from nearby
Country Clubs and are studying the
layout. The State Officials have never
before so extended themselves and the
host of visiting golfers are really in
for a treat.
In Boston Friday night, when the
struggle is over, still another treat
awaits the visitors to the Annual U. G.
A. Championshis. At Rainbow Planta-

One drowsy summer afternoon in
England, driving through the quiet
countryside down winding country
roads, through leaf rooted lanes, past
green fields and little villages clustered
around old stone churches, we came to
a meadow beyond which the great
waters of the Thames sparkled under
the late afternoon sum- My companion
stopped the car and said quietly and
almost reverently-"Thi is Runny-
mede." Instantly l Strengthened up
from my comfortable position in the
car, for "Runnymede" deeply stirred
my emotions as l thought of what it
meant to America and Americans.
Many of the quiet villages through
which we had passed are piles of
crumbled stones. The grey churches
are but masses of rubble-their affairs
open to the heavens in mute appeal.
Today the fields are furrowed to pre-
vent the landing of hostile planes. The
roads are barricaded with barbed wire.
Today the silver blue ribbon of the
Thames is a treacherous guide to the
enemy from the sky.
But Runnymede is imperishable to
every Britain-and to every American.
Bombs cannot hurt it, nor the devas-
tation of war dim its glory, for there
the Magma Charta-the Great Charter
of England-was signed. Runnymede
was the real cradle of those Anglo
Saxon liberties which are our proudest
heritage.

A "RRILLIANT,, NAVY

If by repeating his former state
ments Admiral Nimitz insists that his
reason for keeping colored sailors out
of the navy is because the colored men
are Extremely brilliant" then he
ought to be Immediately removed from
his post. His reiterated reason for
keeping colored men out is a strong
argument for letting them in. The
nation needs strong, brilliant" navy.
Since he is admitting inferior men
simply because they are white and is
rejecting other men because of dis
liked skin-coloring, he not only de-
prives the country of the services of
some of its best qualified men but he
and other brass hats who are held by
similar bias could be accused of in
direct sabotage of the navy.
AS reported by Director H. M. Finck
of the American League for Tolerance
Committee the Admiral's statement
is that colored men are Extremely
brilliant and in the very short space of
a year are able to rise to the rank of
chief petty officer, and that is very
much resented by white sailors, caus-
ing much discord within the ranks. +"
Now here white young America re-
ceives another "stab in the back"
Their loyalty to their navy, their 10y
atty to their country are thus placed at
a low ebb; it is implied that their
respect for lawful authority is condi-
toned upon the skin-coloring of the
person or persons vested with such
authority. Moreover, it is a perturb-
ing admission that discipline in the
navy is inferior to that of our public
schools where there are colored teach
ers; inferior to the order in some in
dustries where there are colored fore
men; inferior to that of municipal
police forces with their colored officers
If discipline in the navy is as fragile
as the admiral says it is, it follows
that there is something wrong not witt
the frank and file" but with 'higher.
ups" who are charged with the re-
sponsibility of maintaining discipline
at all hazards.
Frankly, the admirals expressed
views are seriously unfortunate al
this time. The nation is in need o.
confidence, unity and a high degree
of morale. These qualities are leo
pardized by repeated instances of dis
elimination and mental inertia in tn,
army and navy.

GAS BLACKOUT

The following talk was given ap-
proximately six weeks ago but is as
pertinent "This Day" as it was then.
In an interview in Washington on
June 5, Petroleum Administrator Ickes
declared that restriction on oil con-
sumption would be probable within a
month; he stated further that not only
gasless Sundays might be necessary but
that it might mean that we can't drive
for pleasure on any day.
There are those of us who think and
try to get at the reason in back of this
statement. When a man talks enough,
you sometimes are able to get clue as
to his reasoning.
Of course, oil is used for heating as
well as for power for automobiles. So
that when Ickes also stated that apart
ment houses might have to reduce the
temperature a few degrees this winter
because of the oil deficiency, it seems
possible that he might be trying to whip
up public hysteria. This statement
gives to the rich a chance to provide
against the shortage but to the COM
mon fellow only fear that their houses
would not be heated at all. They re
member the coal shortage in the last
war.
There is some relation between oil
and daylight saving time, which Ickes
urged for the entire nation. The oil
shortage, however, is at present only in
the East and according to him due
solely to the lack of transportation ia
cilities because of the transfer of one
fifth of our domestic tanker fleet to the
British.
But here follows-it seems to me
the nub of the situation.
G. W. Kellog, president of the Edi-
son Electric Institute and chief of pow
er for the Office of Production Manage
mant (OPM) is an expert in this line
and has no political affiIiation any more
than Knudson, the head. The former
looks at the situation from a cold, scien-
tifc and analytical business point of
view.
This man-with no axe to grind
shortly before the Ickes' statement said
that the power situation will be found
to be adequately provided for.

With Rev. William S. Ravenell, pas
tor of Ebenezer Baptist Church presid-
ing, a very impressive service was held
Thursday, July 81, 4:3O pm. at Mt.
Hope Cemetery where the unwilling of
the Rev. Cassius A. Ward Tombstone
took place.
After opening with the hymn espe-
cially requested by Mrs. Ward, "Serv-
ant of God Well Done, Rev. Ravenell
called on Rev. E. E. Thompson to read
the Scripture, and Rev. M. ]. Minor to
make the prayer. Rev. Hester, speak
ing of the late Rev. Wards activities
in the Interdenominational Ministers
Alliance, emphasized how inspirational
his life and words had been to the mem
bers. One of the poems composed by
Rev. Ward, Through the Gate," was
read very eloquently by Rev. J. W.
Hill.
A surprising feature was the pres
ence of Rev. Cornell Talley, pastor of
the Central Baptist Church, Pittsburgh,
the Church Rev. Ward last pastored.
Rev. Talley struck the keynote of the
Service when he stated, "This is not
the real monument for Rev. Ward, for
out there in the world are MANY people,
young and old, whose hearts and lives
he has touched and encouraged enabl-
ing them to struggle towards success,
which is a monument that we could
never give him" Rev. Talley then pre-
sented Mrs Ward with $4,000 sent
from the members of the Central Bap-
tist Church, Pittsburgh.
Special mention was made by Rev.
Ravenell of the splendid work done by
Mrs. Annie White, chairman of the
committee. With the singing of "Bless
Be the Tie that Binds, the lovely gran
ite tombstone, admired by all, was un-
veiled by John Alvan and Edgar Louis
Ward, sons of the deceased. Present
with her mother was daughter, Miss
Weltha Emily Ward. Another daugh-
ter, Hertha Mae, and son, Cassius
Armand, were unable to be present. A
bus load Of forty people plus number
of private cars were on the scene 10
witness the commemorative exercises.
Mrs. Annie White, chairman, wishes
at this time to express her deep graft
tude to the clergy and all those who
helped to make the service successful.

The International Workers Order is

Mr.. Benjamin is confident in the sue

bility for the cigarette campaign it
extends a fraternal welcome to all
national group organizations and
others to add to the success of our
