Food Production Gools
Call for I 500, 900 More
Loborers, Study Shows
By JESSE O. IRWIN.

Food production for home con-
sumption, the armed forces and the
United Nations will require 1,500 OOC
new farm workers next year, the
Agriculture Department announced
today. At the same time, the Wal
Manpower Commission has under
consideration plan to import
Puerto RicanS and Mexicans to aic
in meeting these farm requirements
a spokesman said.
Approximately 5000 Mexicans al
ready have been certified for entry
into the United States for farm
work. In order to relieve unemploy-
ment conditions in Puerto Rico, the
commission is considering pro-
posal to bring in thousands of work
ers from the Caribbean island.
The United States Employment
Service is planning survey to de-
termine how many copper, lead and
zinc miners will be needed from the

Committee Proposes ImportatiOns.
This survey is one of the recon-
mendations made late yesterday by
the War Manpower Commission S
Management-Labor Policy Commit
tee for the importation of 5000 to
10000 Mexicans to increase produc-
ton of metals.
VINO Deputy Chairman Fowler
v. Harper said the recommendation
was Endorsed by Undersecretary of
War Patterson and It. Gen. Brehon
Somervell because production of
these metals, which are vital to the
manufacture of munitions is far
below capacity due to manpoWer
shortage.
VINO estimates indicate copper
production can be increased approx
imately $500 tons month for each
1000 miners added to the present
working force.
Rail Workers Said Not Needed.
The deputy chairman said the
nanagement-labor group had re-
fused the request of Joseph B. East
man, director of the Office of De-
fense Transportation, to import
Mexicans as maintenance of way
workers on railroads. The COM
nittee held that there was a surplus
of such workers in the United States
Mr.. Eastman had said II large
Western railroads have reported
1859 vacancies among maintenance
crews.
The Agriculture Department said
farmers will lose 100000 workers
from their labor force during the
12-month period ending next July /.
Indications are. it added, that an
additional 100000 will have been
lost by the end of the 1943 harvest
season.
"At the same time the depart
ment said, needed agricultural pro-
duction next year would require
100000 more workers than were
available in 1912 To meet these
needs in full, next year We would
have to recruit 100000 new
workers"
The departments figures were
made public shortly after Secretary
Of Agriculture Wickard told farmers
In a radio talk that recent increases
in wartime food demands caused
him to feel more and more con-
Germ" over the Nations ability to
meet those demands.
The department said that per
haps some public action can be
taken to relieve some of the need
for new workers.
1t suggested that some likely
sources of new help could be found
among 250,000 farm boys reaching
the age of IA years, and $4,000 Older
men and physically handicapped
persons now unemployed.

Negroes rape and murder of the
missing heiress spread through the
city.
Police reported that many win
dows in the Negro sections were
smashed. Every street car, bus, el
train and auto leaving the South
Side is being stopped and search
ed. Police and vigilantes, armed
with rifles, tear gas, flashlights,
and photos Of the killer, began at
18th Street this morning and are
searching every Negro home under
a blanket warrant from the mayor.
They are making a careful search
of al abandoned buildings, which
are said to be hideouts for Negro
criminals.
Maintaining that they feared for
The lives of their children, a dele
cation of white parents called Sn-
nerintendent of City School, Horace
Minton, and begged that all schools
be closed until the Negro rapist
and murderer was captured.
Reports were current that sew
eral Negro men were beaten in
various North and West Side
neighborhoods.
In the Hyde Park and Engle-
wood districts, men organzided
viligilante groups and sent word to
chief of Police Gleman offering
aid.
Glenman said this morning that
the aid of such groups would be
accepted. He stated that woeful-
ly undermannd police force to-
rether with recurring waves of Ne
gro crime made such a procedure
necessary.
Several hundred Negroes re-
sembling Bigger Thomas were
rounded up from South Side ''hot
spcts"; they are being held for in
vestigation.
In a radio broadcast last night
Mayor Ditz warned of possible mob
violence and exhorted the public to
maintain order. Every effort is be-
ing made to apprehend this fiend, p"
he said.
It was reported that several hum
dred Negro employees throughout
the city had been dismissed from
Jobs. A well-known banker wife

that she might poison the chill

Dr.. N. MCLEAN
Says Doctrine

Race Superiority
Is Blasted By
Hampton Head

HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va
(SNS)-Both the findings of mod
ern science and the teachings of
religion show the fallacy of the be-
lief in the existence of important
race differences, declared President
Malcolm S. Mclean of Hampton
Institute in recent panel discus
sion held at the college on minori-
ties and racial groups.
Anthropologists, Dr. Mac Lean,
said, have proven that individual
differences within races are most
significant than the physical
characteristics commonly asso-
ciated with any given group He al
os stated that religious teachings of
universal brotherhood further en-
phasizc the need for appreciation
of individual qualities found in
persons of all races, rather than
attributing superiority or inferiori-
ty to any particular race.
Mrs. Ida Jones Curry, head of the
college nursery school, who also
participated in the discussion, de-
clared that pre-school children are
not aware Of racial differences,
although they readily reflect the
attitudes and the behavior of those
with whom they associate.
She said that it is the RESPONSE
bility of parents to deal frankly
and Internationally with the sub
ject of race when children become
aware of it, keeping in mind the
child's educational level and di-
recting his thinking and observa-
tions along the lines of individual
rather than racial differences
among peoples.
Other members of The college
staff who took part in the discus
sion were: Roscoe Lewis of the HUI

no such gatherings would be
justified, in view of war burdens
on the transportation system, un-
less they would shorten the war.
Mr.. Eastman pointed out that
expanding war production, larger
troop movements, and a rising vol
ume of travel on war business
would subject the already heavily
burdened transportation lines to
heavier strains in 1943 Railroads
and bus lines, he said, will have
extremely limited facilities in 1943
for passengers not in the armed
services or not on business of an es-
Sential or emergency character"
The OLT Director declared that
every convention or meeting cam
celed, even if it would have involv-
ed travel by only comparatively
small number of persons, will mean
a decidedly worthwhile saving of

that Negro Americans be accorded
the right to share fully in the
duties and responsibilities of the

ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People addressed this week to
Paul McNutt director of the War
Manpower Commission a group of
questions bearing upon the ef-
fective utilization of Negro man
power in the armed forces and in
industry.
The NAACP reminded McNutt of
his recent statement that drafted
men would be allowed to state their
preferences concerning the branch
of the Army, Navy, Marine or Coast
Guard in which they wished to
serve since the Selective Service
System has been placed under
VINO and will be administered
through the VINO Chairman.
The NAACP asked il this state
men meant that the preference Of
draftees to serve in the Navy, Coast
Guard and Marine Corps will be re-
spected without regard, to race
color or national origin The Asso-
ciation further asked if the pres
ent practice of excluding Negroes
form serving at commissioned Of
ficer level in each Of these SER
vices would be bcndoned.
Pointing to McNutt's authority to
issue regulations with reference to
the training program for the armed
forces, including reserve compo-
nents and women's auxiliary
groups, in on-federal education in
stitutions the NAACP asked if Nc
Mutt intended to issue an order
that all such facilities be open and
available to qualified persons
regard to race, creed, color Or ma
tional origin
The NAACP communication also
reiterated that the Presidents Or
der which conferred additional au-
thority on the VINO had been
slanted for the most effective
mobilization of manpower and
asked exactly what steps the VINO
, would make to rectify the con-
tinuance of situations in which
employers and unions refused to
accept qualified Negro workers be-
cause they are Negroes.
McNutt was also asked if in the
event Of his establishing an ad-
viSory committee composed of gov
ernment or private groups, Ne
groes would be appointed To such a
committee.
