MILLER STORY NOT TOLD
Most white Southerners until to-
day do not know the heroic story
of Dorie Miller, or of the action
of President Roosevelt in award
ing him the Navy Cross, or of
the ceremony at Pearl Harbor last
month when the medal was pinned
on his breast by Admiral Louis
Nimitz, commander of the Pacific
Fleet. The censors undoubtedly
dropped the item in the waste
basket or conveniently lost it.
You would think that all
newspapers would run any
thing said or done about the
President of the United States,
wouldn't you? If so, you just
don't know how total is this
Dixie censorship.
A year ago last month, President
Roosevelt issued this famed Exec
utive Order 1902, forbidding dis
criminatory employment policies in
war industry If white Southern
workers or manufacturers depend
ed on their local press for infor-
nation about this order, they still
don't know about it, And the way
some of them act, one wonders if
they are actually aware that the
President had issued it.
STIMSON CENSORED
There are countless other in
cidentS showing how deliberate is
the effort to keep anything good
pertaining to Negroes from reach
ing white Southerners. The an
nouncement by Secretary of War
Stimson at his press conference
that 769 Negroes had been COM
missioned as officers was never
passed on to Dixie readers.
The same fate met a Subse-
quent announcement from the
War Department that Negro
soldiers were more than doing
their part in the world wide
fight for freedom in such far
flung corners as New Guinea,
Eritrea, Australia, New Gale
donna and Egypt. 1t was never
CARRIED by the white uresS of
the South although most of
these boys come from Dixie.
When 1t comes to censorship.
here is one section of the Ameri-
can press from which even Herr
Goebbels could take few lessons.

Over $4,000 women have already
been trained for various phases
c. war work in Detroit and OF
this number a thousand are Ne
gro women. Recent estimates
foecast that approximately 100000
omen will be needed in local war
plants and non-factory Jobs In
this area. Many OF these will be
Negro women.
Detroit schools depict democ-
racy in action. Negro and white
males and females are all train
ing together without difficulty.
Many employers contend that II
can't be done. but our schools are
demonstrating that workers OF all
nationalities and backgrounds,
creed and sex, can work har-
noniously. Some far-sighted en-
p!oyers have observed this sit
uation In our schools and are du-
plicating II in their plants quite
successfully. Teachers have been
recruited from industry. most OF
whom had had little previous ex-
perience with Negro workers in
the past. Our school authorities
recognized this fact and saw to II
that both instructors and trainees
were given guidance to create the
proper understanding between the
two groups. Contact Is also made
with industry, in order 10 aid
trainees in their adjustment to
he factory situation and to pave
the way for them. Many teachers
have been successful In their fac
tory contacts to aid the U S. En-
ployment Service in its effort to
place trainees after they have
completed their courses.
The success OF the Detroit pro-
gram in meeting the challenge
for providing training in all
occupations essential TO the war
effort. according TO Supt. War
rem r. Bow. has been done through
the whole-hearted cooperation OF
labor, industry and the commun-
ity. The goal has been set at
100000 trainees for next year.
Most OF them will be women and
older men.
To October 81. 1912. the total
number having received training
for war work In Detroit wps
1928, OF which number were
11.746 Negro trainees. Negroes
constituted - per cent OF the en-
pioyed workers IN training: IL
per cent OF the male unemployed
in training; SO per cent OF the
NYA youth training.

At the same time. by an ex-

the United States agreed to ex-

Government OF Liberia. and to as
sist in the Improvement and ex-

The strategic situation OF LII

American forces. chiefly COM

Facts About Liberia
Liberia owes its origin to the
efforts OF the American Colonial
ton society OF America which
was organized Dec. 16, 1917. 70
settle free Negroes in Africa. In
1920. an unsuccessful attempt was
made to locate the colony. In
1921, the attempt succeeded. On
July 2s. 1s47. the State was con-
stituted as the Free And Inde-
pendent Republic OF Liberia.
The colony then became more
prosperous. churches and schools
were established, a postal system
was introduced. newspapers we're
established and slavery was abol-
ished in the neighboring states.
The total area OF Liberia Is
about 10000 square miles. The
coast line OF about $50 miles ex-
tends from the British colony OF
Sierra Leone on the west TO the
French colony OF Ivory Coast.

In vain cried aloud Come unto me and will

Loves thee There is a balm in Gilead there's
Peace TO the troubled sin-sick soul.

And yet she laughed the laughter OF child

She scorned the call and srolef out from the mission
