Draft Heads Report
D. T.. CIassifications
Are 88% Complete
103,317 Registrars

Speed Remainder

Less than II per cent of the 49,
S37 Washingtonians registered for
selective service remained to be
classified as of November 80,
cumulative report released by Dis
trict draft headquarters revealed last
night.
Many of the local boards have
completed their classifications, it was
understood. and others are rushing
through the remainder of their lists

ters request that the number OF
available Glass IA men registered
be determined as quickly as possible.
Last nights report showed 103,317
registrants in the District had been
classified by the first of this month.
OF this number, 52,533 had been
placed in Glass III because of de-
pendents, and 4,218 in either one of
two Glass II groups as engaged di-
rectly in the national defense effort
or working in jobs considered in the
national interest.
10,605 Over % Years.
Glass III, reserved for registrants
over % years of age, included 10,605
men who face reclassif1cation when
the draft age limits are revised by
Congress.
Classified as totally unfit for mill
tary duty because of physical, mental
or moral impairments we're 10,791
registrants, over 5000 more men
than the District has had accepted

7077, according to the report.
Numbered as having enlisted in
the armed services through other
channels were 1910 Washingtonians
This figure does not include men
who volunteered for induction un-
der selective service. The inductions
of 653 class IA registrants have

other reasons.
One thousand, six hundred and
seventy-three men were classed la

November 30. More than 300 of these
men were inducted during the first
week of December. Classified as fit
or willing to perform only limited
military service were 8,069 regis
trants.
Directors Total Only 40.
The report showed that the city's
local boards have classified 40 reg
istrants as conscientious objectors
Five of these men have been sent
to C. o. camps for civilian work
of national importance, 16 were over
the current 28-year limit and three
have indicated their willingness to
perform certain types of military
duty. The remainder still are being
processed.
The report indicated the fol-
lowing totals of delinquent regis
trants: 1897 who have failed to
complete their questionnaires, IS
who have failed to report for physi-
cal examination, and % who have
failed to report for induction.

The Negro should heartily endorse

arrangement whereby the editorial
policies of our leading journals and
the scopes of Negro leaders would
develop a homogeneous attitude. The
Negroes policy must call for national
unity and solidarity. Personal gains
must be sacrificed. Mass power and
power tactics must be employed with
ever-increasing successes. A tacit I'M
derstanding of racial relations would
better serve all people that democratic
ideals upon which our country is

champion all causes in our behalf with

THE FRENCH ~TERRORISTS
RIDE AGAIN

The "REIGN OF TERROR" is
beginning once again in France and
traitors heads will 0 begin to fall.
In ITO TERRORISTS ruled
France and revolution came and for
a time, at least, washed away a cruel
and ancient caste with it's blood. But
they rose from that crucible, purged
and glorifed and chose for the national
motto, LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRA
TERNITY.
Under Hitler's orders these guar
antees have been swept away, and
therefore, TERROR" once more
reigns. It's tide will rise, until the
Seine shall once more run red with
blood; the blood of Frenchmen who
have betrayed the people and made
the fruits Of the Revolution a mockery.

LABOR DAY

Monday was LABOR DAY" on

critical days for mankind, all that we
have gained in the long struggle up
ward will be lost.
A new day is coming for LABOR.
1t IS going to share in the problems Of

the things which trouble our economy
and the whole social organization I'M
der which we live.
Henry Ford has led the way. He
has called upon the leaders of labor
In the automobile industry to help work
out a plan to prevent unemployment
as a result of the curtailment of auto
mobile production during the defense
effort.
At last they are learning that la
Dor, capital and management together
constitute FREE ENTERPRISE. Hen
ny Ford has gone all the way with or
gained labor. And labor is very like

A STUDY IN L

Not very long since we met a
white Colored woman; that is, one
who is identified with Colored People
by exclusion, who has spent many
years in the deep South. Often when
riding on jim crow street cars, white
women beckon her to leave the Negro
section and sit with the whites. The
Colored passengers glare at her. Her
method Of escape from these embar-
easements is to take her place in the
white section.
All of which indicates how silly
color prejudice is. 1t is a phase of ig-
norance, and we hope a rapidly pass
ing phase.

IRAN is CAPTURED BY BRITAIN
AND RUSSIA


Great Britain and Russia have
captured Iran and her oil, and if they
can hold it, Germany will be the loser
in the end. Germany must have oil
and more oil, hence the race for the
oil fields of Iran.
Iran was formerly named Persia.
And Persia in the ancient world had
her hour Of glory and ruled nearly
all the world. She gave Cyrus, The
Great, to the ancient world and Cam
bysees, his son The latter conquered
Egypt in the fifth century B. c., five
thousand years after Egypt had at
tanned her greatest glory and was de-
Ginning.
What caused the decline of Persia,
history does not clearly record. But
her oil may be the means of Hitler's
undoing. If so, she did not rise and
reign and fall in vain.
Both Great Britain and Russia
are to be commended for the swift
conquest of Iran and her oil. Once,
they beat Hitler to the punch.

THAT ALL MIGHT SURVIVE
By RyIand Eugene MelfOrd

Never in the modern history of
the American Negro has the need for
leadership been SO apparent as it now
is. Lincoln wisely said that "a house
divided among itself must fall" The
bone of contention among the Negro
leaders Of our race must be buried,
or we as a race of people, already i'm
poverished because of lack of econom-
ic nourishment, will find ourselves
plunged deeper into the muck of in
ternational banditry.
To whom can we as a race of
people rely upon in these dark and try
ing times of international unrest? To
whom can we turn to prevent the
ephemeral shadows of economic Sc
curity from loosing themselves from
us? And what Of the many divergent
problems that daily confront the
Negro in his pursuits, whether they be
acts of pleasure or travail. Is it not true
that the pigment of u skins all too
often results in the degeneration of
years Of academic preparation to ap-
pease some uncouth gentlemen Of in
dustrial or business advantages within
our local confines. The writer would
mildly suggest that those who direct
our policies whether they be interna-
tional, national, or local in scope look
not with disfavor upon men because
their skin is tinted brown or black,
but rather, majestically seek those who
can best produce on the job, whether
it be in the field, at the office, in our
finest technical laboratories, at the fac
tory, or some mental task.
Of the millions appropriated and
now spent by u able Congress, little
of these silver ducats have found their
way into the pockets of the Negro
people. Yet, we represent both con-
sumner and purchaser. | ask, must we
shoulder the burden of higher taxes
and suffer under the yoke of poverty.
In these perilous times the black man
is still excluded from holding positions
of command and trust in the Navy;
the Marine Corps must laugh when the
inception of Negro youths within its
ranks is mentioned, our army, slowly
but surely, rising to meet the armed
might of European dictators, still pur-
sues its lily white policies despite the
elevation Of Brigadier General Davis
by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the sew
eral other Negro officers of the reg
ular army recently commissioned. True
it is, that our air force may soon be
acclaimed the finest in the world and
reach a parity with the forces Of
Adolph Hitler, and yet pitifully weak
is the numerical strength of Negro
military aviators. When will the doors
of West Point, and Annapolis swing
open to the hundreds of Negro youths
who can match physical, mental and
gentlemanly qualities with the cream
Of any American youth when the bars
of racial discrimination are lifted.
