Sabotaging The War Effort By Appealing
To Racial Prejudice And Disunitv

SPEAKING ON HIS REGULAR SUNDAY NIGHT
BROADCAST, Dr. Clanton W. Williams, University of Ala
bama professor, and commentator widely heard
throughout the South last Sunday night in listing various
types of saboteurs listed among them those who are now
engaged in spreading racial disunity
For long time before Pearl Harbor, the American
people had been hearing much about saboeurs spies and
fifth coumnists So much writing speaking about sabo

now knows and understands of such Spies saboteurs and

from New York to Trenton, re-
turning seven boys from New York
to the camp. He said he was told
at that time that for some reason
the tomatoes, which they had speci-
fled in the order, were not ready
and that the boys were being en-
ployd in other areas.
MANY NOT WORKING
Upon his return to Atlanta, sew
eral mothers informed Cochrane
that they had received letters from
their boys indicating that they
were not working and asking for
money to return home, he said. An
investigation revealed that there
was some misunderstanding between
the New Jersey office and the At
lanta office and in addition, also
with the F. S. A., which has res
possibility of operating the camp,
Cochrane stated. He said that
there was considerable conflict in
statements of the boys, some hav-
ing plenty of work and earning
from $25 to $50 a week and others
doing nothing. Cochrane found,
he stated, that most of the diff
Guilty came around the young boys
of sixteen years and a few who had
misrepresented their ages and were
only fifteen. Several were dismiss
ed because of inexperience, and
when Cochrane pushed the matter,
the employment service sent 81
of the young boys back to Atlanta
via bus he said.
so STILL THERE
Cochrane said that the service
broke its contract by not having
the work, namely, picking toma-
toes, for the boys. He said that he
and the 'Y' had spent approximate
ly $500 in correspondence and
travel to straighten out all diff
culties that had arisen around the
New Jersey work, and that now
he was working on the matter Of
deductions for transportation which
had not been refunded number
OF boys after they had worked more
than two weeks, as specified in the
order. He said he believes that
around so Atlanta youths still are
in New Jersey working on farms or
IN other adjacent areas and doing
well. Some 116 went there, it was
stated.
The Amsterdam Star-News re-
porter, however, said the boys he
interviewed were penniless and
left to live as best they could, re-
fuSing to work for neighboring
farmers for IL or Is cents per
hour and that they were bitter
in their denunciation of Cochrane.
Cochrane said that the camp
manager and the employment SER
vice managers were shifting the
blame to him for the boys un-
satisfactory reactions.
The Star-News quoted an inter-
view with two Atlanta youths,
Roosevelt Thomas, IA, of IS Hill

Cochrane was said to have explain
