 WASHINGTON.-The War De- partment's Morale Branch is not only anxious to remain alert to the prob lems of the Negro soldier,' but "eager to gain the benefit" of the working ex- perience and Special familiarity and insight into his problems" which or ganized groups among the Negro peo- pie can bring to bear in helping the Morale Branch of the army to solve these problems.

Proposals In Congress Are Unavoidable
Can't Freeze Discomfort And Resentment Of
 Workers"

Proposals made in Congress and elsewhere for freezing of wages during the defense emergency were assailed this week by General Philip B. Fleming, Fair Labor Standards Act Administrator, as unjust and mwork- able.
 ''To freeze wages is to freeze all the wage injustices and unequal. / ities now existing" Fleming de. clared. ''But you can't freeze the discontent and resentment of the man in one factory who is being paid far less than a man in some other factory doing exactly the same kind of york;
 Fleming suggested that boards of employers, labor and the public be sci up to seek uniform, high wage levels industry by industry.
 PROPAGANDA
 The administrator also denounced propaganda for lengthening of the work week as a ''blind" for elimina- ton of the requirement in the law for payment of time and one-half rates for overtime. In many defense in- dustries, he said, hours run as high as g to 5 a week
 "Can it be said that these hours are not long enough?" he demand ed. ''On the contrary, from the standpoint of health, safety, and efficient production, they are near the danger point"
 Employers permitted to escape the time and One-half pay rule for overtime would have ''green light" to work employees unlimited hours, Fleming warned.

 sCREDIT TO MOVEMENT"
 "He is a credit to the organized labor movement, and the best proof of the success of the leadership which he has exercised, is his record of get ting substantial benefits for the mem bers of his union, without resorting to strikes.
 "Mr. Hurley's feeling that the necessity for taking special means to preserve his health, requiring him to surrender the three labor posts he has filled so well, should not mean, it is to be hoped, that he will find 1t neces- sary to cease all activities in the labor movement"

Washington Senators was leading
the American League with .52l and

Travis, still setting the pace for both
big leagues, has dropped to .459 and
no other regular in either loop is
within the 400 bracket.
Enos Country Slaughter of the
st. Louis Cardinals has supplanted
Harry (Cookie) Lavagetto Of Brook
lyn's bountiful Dodgers as the Ma
tional League leader with .391.
Slaughter assembled to the lead
by running against the tide with a
6-point increase while Lavagetto
slipped from .4O3 to 359. Bill Jurges.
