One Of the great shortages, a
shortage which must be overcome
if we are to win this war, is a
shortage Of steel. This shortage
was cited in the closing of the Hig-
gins Shipbuilding Yard in New
Orleans where several thousand
Negro workers were to be trained
and employed in all skills. This
shortage is already slowing pro-
duction in other factories in which
Negro workers are now employed.
1t is indeed a shortage which every
American must tackle. We must
do a better job Of collecting iron

A Real


There is a real opportunity thu
week for the discovery of talented
musicians living in Omaha and in
neighboring communities. New
members for Omaha's Little Sym
phony Orchestra will be chosen by
addition this week before a COM
mittee headed by Musical Director
Richard E. Duncan.
Important is the fact that va
cancies need to be filled in all sec
tions, that is, in the string, per-
cussion, woodward, and brass sec
tions.
There will be a series of three
concerts. November 10th, January
25th, and March 29th. Albert
Spalding, violinist, will appear as
guest artist at the November con-
cert. A greater variety of music
than has ever been possible before
will be presented this year. This
will naturally give the member
players an additional opportunity
for developing their talents under
the direction of Richard E. Dun
can. Mr.. Duncan is a protege of
Serge Koussevitzky, conductor of
the Boston Symphony. After all,
the primary purpose of the Little
Symphony Orchestra is to discover,
develop and encourage talented
musicians in this vicinity. These

USES MEMO PERMITS JOB JIM
CROW, VIOLATES FDR
ORDER. NAACP TELLS

MCNUTT
New York-Direct to Paul v.
McNutt, Federal Security Admin
istrator and chairman of the War
Manpower Commission, went a
vigorous objection from the N. A.
A. c. P. last week to Section 5 of
United States Employment Serv-
ice Bulletin Gas which would al
low an employer to ask for white
have his request granted by the
USES.
The section which the N. A. A.
c. P. called "plain instruction to
state directors to ignore Executive
Order 1902 and assist employers
who seek to violate the ORDER"
states: "If the employer refuses
to eliminate discriminatory specifi-
cations, referral will be made on
the basis of his order, providing the
jobs to be filled are on essential in
dustry."
The section makes an exception
Of states where legislation outlaws
discrimination on in employment
for war industry.
There are only four states, the
NAACP told McNutt, which have
laws prohibiting discrimination in
employment. They are New York,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsyl-
vania, and the laws in the latter
two states are not strong.
"This means in effect" the AS
ISOLATION said, chat Director John
j. Corson's memorandum Of July
l, advises that the USES offices
in A states are not bound by Ex-
ecutive Order 1902.
If the memorandum is allowed to
stand, it will mean Negroes will
be back where they were before
the President signed his execu-
tive order, the NAACP asserted.
Since USES is now the princi-
pal venue through which labor
is furnished war industries, this
order, if carried out, means
that a federal agency will be aid
ing employers in freezing Negroes
out Of jobs; the protest declared.

We ire now on the offensive.
For the first time in this war
American forces have moved again
st the enemy with the objective
Of expelling him. The theatre of
action is the Solomons-a chain
of islands and steaming jungle
through which the japanese line
If communication TANKS Australia.
Australia is one of the many
fronts on which American Negro
troops are stationed.
From its very start the first
American offensive indicates the
need for redoubling u production
effort on the home front. There
are, fortunately, indications that
the home front offensive is being
intensified. Increased activity on
the part of some local officers of
the United States Employment
Service in seeking full utilization
of our labor resources is one such
indication.
The USES in Illinois, for in
stance, is now distributing a 51a
by 81a inch replica Of the Exec.
utive Order 1902 poster "Fair En-
ployment Practice in Defense In
dustries," in an effort to combat
restrictive hiring practices. The
poster can be folded into a book
let which states:
"Your sons, brothers, fathers,
husbands, Notwithstanding 10
preserve American liberty-will
never ask the race, creed, color or
national origin of those building
the ships, planes, tanks, guns
needed to win"
The second page Of the poster
booklet declares:
"The man at the next bench may
differ from you in race, color or
religion $50. but he's workig for
Victory just as you are ... to
ave the home that America has
made for him. Remember: There
are 5,00o,0 900 Jews IN America.
there r 5000, 00c aliens, there are
IL. 0O0.e 600 Negroes, there are 81
600. 900 Catholics, there are 36,00O,-
900 Protestants 80.
when you bar one group from
working you pave the way to bar
ring all such groups from a pur-
suit-America can't afford the loss
of a single workers skill and will
lingness to help the country that
has helped him
"a Nazi conquest means a land
filled with hate -. with intolerance
and oppression race AGAINST
race religion against religion
/. color against color the
opposite of every American deal.

GL0RIFYING
YOURSELF
By ALICIA HART
EA Service Staff Writer

Those bra and trunks bathing
suits, newest and smartest of 1912
sun styles, do show off the extra
curves which advertise in-action
And since inaction is the last thing
any feminine citizen wishes to ad-
nit, not to mention advertise, now
is the time to curb spreading hips.
There are several ways to &C
complish this in nice coordination
with your Steppedup schedule. If
your air. warden duties call for
walking-well, mile a day should
keep healthy figures shapely.
Whenever you walk, you should
show little military vigor without
the stiff economy of soldier effici-
necy. Walk chest high, chin up,
backbone straight-but relaxed.
If you're doing office work, try
to arrange your work so that at
least part of your routine is ac-
complished while you stand. House
work also afford excellent exercise
if. there also, you welcome the
activity and take it as a workout
You may need special exercises
to reduce a particular part of you,
like hips. This is worthy of con-
sideration particularly when Eou
find yourself an inch fuller-though
your weight hasn't changed much
since last summer.
CHECK YOUR
EATING HABITS
OF course. when weight inCreas-
eS, you need to correct some wrong
eating habit. In that situation. and
also when you lack inspiration for
doing simple spot-reducing routines
all b. yourself at home, you would
be wise to go to a good salon for
few sessions with an instructor.
If you have the fortitude,
though, you can obtain good re-
suits by simply rolling on the floor
for five minutes daily Lie flat on
your back Keeping shoulders flat
against the floor, roll to the right
until your weight is on the right
thigh. Roll back until weight is on
the left thigh. Repeat 20 times.
