WASHINGTON, JULY 25-
Those people within the Negro
race who say I'VE do not read coll
ored newspapers are admitting
their lack of acquaintance with
one of the most powerful instru
mehts with which to promote the
general welfare of themselves and
others. The printed pages always
travel faster and reach more peo-
pie than mere persen-to-person
discussions.
What About the USO and Us?
The USO, United Service Or,
CARNATIONS, have been doing a lot
of soliciting throughout the coun-
try for funds to provide recreat-
ional eenters skirting the nation
for the benefit Of the sailors, sol
diers, and marines. Government,
State, County and private employ
ees have given freely to this
worthwhile program. However,
there are some highly important
facts in this connection that have
been allowed to slip by many Of
our leaders.
In the District on Columbia,
there has not been appointed,
