 Men Chosen To Supervise State Disposition Of Metal

Mayor Vincent A. Scully today still awaited word from Hartford as to where the aluminium collect- ed here last week should be sent. Newspapers received word that New Haven county cities and towns should forward the metal to New Haven but the mayor had not re- ceived any notification.

However, 1t had to be removed from the bin yesterday to make room for erection of bleachers for the American Legion parade, and was taken in city trucks to the street department yards.

King Tut

King "Tut' was an Egyptian
Pharaoh, known as Tutankhamun
or Tutankhaten, who assembled the
Egyptian throne about 1858 B. c.
He ruled at Thebes, the old
Egyptian capital and the site of
his tomb, after schism between
two religious factions forced him
out of the new capital at Akheta-
ten. Atenism, the cult of the suns
disk, espoused by his predecessor
and father-in-law, was given up
during his reign for return to
the old orthodox Egyptian wor-
ship. He is believed to have died
about the age of 10. The curse of
death laid upon anyone entering
his tomb made him famous. Ar
cheologists opened the tomb in
1923, and again in 1926.

Navy
School
Dedicated

Because Henry Ford believes In
the navy being America first line
of defense. the first navy service
school ever TO be operated IN COIL
nection with civilian industry has
been dedicated at the River Rouge
plant of the Ford Motor Company.
The ceremony took place yes
terday afternoon In front OF the
newly erected administration
building of the school.
Surrounded by the first unit OF
apprentice seamen students, Ford
stood on an uncovered platform,
swept by a bitter wind. While
others wore overcoats and stock
ing caps. Ford, in a hight tan
topcoat, told a nationwide audi
ence by radio:
During this crisis our or
gaflization wants to do every
thing possible 10 help America
and the President.
BENEFIT TO NATION
"The navy being our first line
OF utItHSt, u Ittl tuht tHt tIhih-
ing of these young men will
vitality benefit our nation.
And, when this crisis Is over,
we can then reclaim these
mechanically trained young men
In our industries"
Introduced by Commander c. P.
Cecil, executive officer at the
Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
ton, Edsel Ford, president Of the
company. said the idea of the
school was not new but that the
establishment of the navy school
was of great interest to all of us
here at the Ford Motor Com
pany." He added:
I'VE were pleased to learn
that the principles of education
and training which we used In
these schools, together with the
facilities Of the Rouge plant,
would be OF great advantage In
the training of navy recruits,
and set about to develop this
program with Admiral John
Downes and also with Secretary
Knox"

in capacities commensurate with
their individual skills and aptitudes
should be undertaken at once.
In many localities, qualified and
available Negro workers are either
being restricted to unskilled jobs
or barred from defense employ
ment entirely. Because of this
situation, Negro workers of skills
and apttudes are in many in
stances not being included in many
of the training programs for de-
dense. Such practices are extreme
ly wasteful of our human re-
sources and prevent a total effort
for national defense. They result
in unnecessary migration of labor,
in high rates of labor turnover,
and they increase our present and
future housing needs and social
problems for defense workers.
All holders of defense contracts
are urged to examine their employ
ment and training policies at once
to determine whether or not these
policies make ample provision for
the full utilization of available and
competent Negro workers. Every
available sources of labor capable
of producing defense materials
must be tapped in the present en-
Urgency.

Harlem Celebrates
Negro Bus Victory

The United Negro Bus Associa-
ton, 1872 w. 1873 ST., New York
City, representing hundreds of Me-
gro and white organizations who
have fought together for the past
four weeks for Negro bus drivers
and mechanics will hold a gigantic
victory parade in Harlem, New
York city, on Saturday, April 26
at 1 o'clock.
For four weeks the United Ne
gro Bus Assn. composed of three
delegates each from the Harlem
Labor Union, the National Negro
Congress and Greater N. Y. Coor-
dinating Committee whose names
are Clayton Pawell, Jr., Arnold
Johnson, Harrison Jackson, Roger
Straughn, DIR. Cyril P. Ollivierre,
Hope Stevens, A. J. Jahnson, Aud
ley Moore and Naomi Kornacker
have waged a historic battle for
Negro bus drivers and mechanics
in the Fifth Ave. Coach Co. and
N. Y. City Omnibus Corporation.
This battle came to a close when
an agreement was signed between
the duly authorized representatives
of the Transport Workers Union,
the bus corporation and the United
Negro Bus Assn. on Friday, April
18.
The agreement which was drawn
up by Counsellors Harrison Jack
son and Hope Stevens calls for
immediate employment as the need
arises of 70 Negroes in the MAIN
tenance division, of 100 Negroes
in the bus drivers division. No
member of any other race can be
employed until this ITO has been
employed. After that there will
be an employment of one Negro
for each white until 179S of the
working group is Negro this
means over 500 of the 5000 odd
employees of the bus company will
eventually be Negro workers.
