WASHINGTON, Feb l6 - The
Supreme Court said flatly today
that Congress has constitutional
power to draft business establish

added that still other measures
may have to be devised to prevent
profiteering.
Justice Black made the asser-
tons in a 5 to ! opinion unfolding
contracts entered into by the gov
eminent with the Bethlehem Ship

struction of ships in the first World
War.
Justice Felix Frankfurter dis
scented. Replying to the Justice De-

contracts resulted in "inconscion-
able profits for the shipbuilding
company" Black said Congress said
the profits were granted under
Congressional authority and that
the court is powerless to set them
aside at this time.

Dutch Vessel
Reaches Safe
Alaskan Port
Jap Officers 0verpowered
Vessel Crosses North
Pacific Ocean

How Dutch captain and Chin
csc crew of freighter under chart
er to the Japs succeeded in bring
ing their vessel safely across the
North Pacific from Japan to an
Alaskan port was disclosed here
today by Lieut.. ]. F. Breedveld,
Royal Dutch Navy attache from
Washington.
Without food, water or charts for
the long voyage, the vessel reached
safety and entered the service of
the Allies, Breedveld said, after the
Russian radio operator heard an
announcement of the Jap attack on
Pearl Harbor, December 7.
THE vessel, owned by a Dutch
company, was under charter to a
Japanese concern" he explained.
1T was captained by a Dutchman,
differed by Japanese and manned
by Chinese crew. The Russian
heard the news when the vessel was
about 10 miles off the japanese
coast, enroute from one Jap port
to another"
Japs Thrown Into Brig
The radio operator took the warn
ing directly to the captain, who
siezed the Jap first and second Of
ficers and had them thrown in the
brig.
"They had only five days food
supply aboard" Breedveld said,
land their charts extended only to
the Kurile Islands. Nevertheless.
the captain headed the ship east.
After 20 days, with food exhausted
and their water supply ruined by
seawater, the 3,400-ton ship arrived
safely in an Alaskan port.
Those Chinese were pretty
hungry :. and the Japanese, we'll
l think they're we'll taken care OF
now. The ship is in the service OF
the Allies now, captain, radio op-
orator and crew.
Bredveld, who has spent sever
years in the Royal Dutch Navy All
Force, was in the United States as
member of Dutch purchasing
commission when the war broke out
He was ordered to the Alaskan port
by airplane to take charge of the
vessel and brought it to anothe,
Alaskan port. He now is awaiting
air transportation to the States
where he will report to the Dutcl
liason officer in San Francisco fol
! further assignment.

election is dangerous and threatens the existence
of the organization. We do not share this belief at
ALL As matter of fact such accusation is unfair
to both DR.. McClendon and the Reverend Hill who
are apparently the outstanding contenders for the
presidency of the association. We do not believe
that either of these men would dare put his personal
interests above the interests of the association and
we are sure that they will cooperate for the
good no matter what takes place on election day.
There are number of campaign lies that are
going the rounds and the most vicious one is that
there are certain cliques in the city which would
like to scuttle the NA.A.C.P. We cannot see how
any sane Negro, or liberal white for that matter,
could possibly want to destroy to curtail the
activities of the association We believe that these
lies are being circulated in order to brighten those
who dare to make up their own minds about whom
they should vote for. We are confident that if all
those persons who are figuring in the present con-
troversy were to drop out of sight today, there
would be strong and militant N.AA.C.P. tomorrow
The N.A.A.C.P. is an institution and not one-man
stunt show. We want to build a strong institution
for racial advancement and strong leadership to-
carry the institution forward The NA.A.C.P. should
not be used merely as an instrument to build per-
sonal regulations but on the contrary to lift the
masses of people out of the chaos of the present
into brighter future.
Further, we resent the efforts of certain groups
to intimidate members of the NA.A.C.P into voting
one way or the other We believe in free elections
and we believe that any member of the association
should vote according +" his lights and not have
to fear retaliation from anyone. Personality diff
ferences must be forgotten pr effort to build this
movement which has meant Sd much to all of us in
the past and may mean much more to us in the
future. The Michigan Chronicle is proud of the
widespread interest in the welfare of the N.AACP,
and we hope this interest will continue after the
election.

THE NAACP ELECTIONS

Gone and forgotten are the good old days"
when N.A.ACP elections in Detroit were hardly
more than private gatherings of mutual friends who
were assembled in order to pay tribute to each
other by politely dividing up the offices between
them. Those were the days when the Negro cynics
and smart-alecs claimed that the letters N.A.ACP.
stood for the National Association for the Advance
ment of Certain People. We, however, wish to pay
trihutp to those early earnest souls who, although
they kept the organization about as militant as a
sewing circle did patiently water the fragile seed
that has now at last grown into full flower where
we have mass organization full of storm and STRESS
which, incidentally, will be always found in organza-
lions that are alive and kicking.
Nevertheless we do not lament the passing of
the old era, but on the contrary, welcome this new
period of militancy where leadership is measured by
things accomplished and not necessarily by the abil-
iy to acquire personal friends however laudabe the
latter may be- We have heard it said recently that
