Priorities
Explainedto
GO. P. Unit
Women Hear
DR.. Pratt Plead
For Cooperation

Material shortages and the priority
system were the subject Of q talk
by DR.. E. e. Pratt, chief OF the
training section Of the War Pro-
duction Board, before the League Of
Republican Women yesterday at its
final meeting of the season.
Citing particular materials, the
speaker explained that much Of the
copper shortage was due to the lack
OF ships to bring the supply, much
OF which has come from Chile In
former years. Whereas there is an
abundance of old rubber that could
be reclaimed, q shortage In reclaim
ing machinery is responsible for a
''bottleneck," preventing much of
the needed material from being re-
used.
Synthetic rubber will be stepped
up greatly, Dr.. Pratt explained, but
1t will not be suficient even to take
care of military needs, he added.
Silk, he continued, Is "out" COM
pletely for civilian uses until the
emergency is over.
Unless wool can be imported next
year, the speaker predicted, there
will not be enough to supply uni
forms for the Army and Navy.
This war is not only fought by
the soldiers and Sailors" he con-
cluded. "You don't have to buy q
uniform to get into the war. Each
one of us has a part we can perform
by upholding the orders of the War
Production Board and buying only
what they permit one to buy"
Mrs. Edward E. Gam was re-

over-runs American Industrial ac-
tivities today.
I should like to point out in clos
ing that l., too, realize the diff
culties with which we have been
faced in these fields in the past,
but should also like to point out
that If we ever expect to correct
these difficulties, we must have
someone trained and able to step In
aud execute the jobs that we ulti-
mately hope to open to the youth
Of the Negro group.
Therefore, may say again that

their youth, an interest in training

A good machinist has an excellent
opportunity of gainful employment

Dear Mrs. Smith,
This is a letter of thanks from
the two boys, Private Fraser and
Private Givens who dined at your
home Easter Sunday. We thanked
you then and we are thanking
you and Mrs. Duvall again. For
when we come to town it prevents
us from roaming the streets, and
gives a feeling of assurance that
we are accepted into the private
homes of good families. I spoke
to the rest of the fellows who came
to town with us and they all en-
joyed themselves and are looking
forward to another invitation. Give
our regards to your household.
Private Richard H. Fraser, Jr."
Yours respectfully,
Other families will entertain ad-
ditional service men this Sunday.

The Klan Rides!
BY Ruth Taylor

We are waging two wars today.
One is the war OF men and ma
chimes, which Is being fought all
over the world. To this war we
send our best. To the winning of
this war we have dedicated our
selves as a nation and as indiv-
iduals.
But there is another war wag-
ing at the same time. It's battle
field is here and now. Here Is no
war of men and machines-but q
war of poison gas, Of treachery,
OF sniping from belinda stealthy
guerilla warfare that descends
from the shadows and fees be-
fore the light, leaving havoc and
desolation in its wake. It is a
gigantic Khan attack upon the
minds of our people.
This Is the war in which we all
are soldiers. This Is the war we
must all fight. Just as our boys
are in training to learn how to
fight the enemy. sc we must learn
how to fight this insidious attack
upon us. We must learn to rec
ognize the enemy propaganda for
what 1t ia deliberate attempt
to destroy from within-to divide
and conquer.
The attack is coming in various
ways-but the first and foremost
is an attempt to divide our peo-
pie, to sap faith, and in sapping
faith to destroy courage. The en-
envy tries many different methods
but whatever creates hate or div
ision among the class, racial and
religious groups that make up the
UNITED States is enemy propa-
ganda-and 1t is another Khan lie!
1t will come cloaked in a dis
guise, of course-the purveyors of
hatred delight in the masquerade,
be it black shirts, brown shirts, or
flowing robes of white. But it will
be an appeal to hatred of others,
a generalization about groups, an
attempt to stir up resentments, to
emphasize the flaws in our Democ-
racy, in order to conceal the fact
that these same flaws are a bot
tcmless abyss in the totalitarian
empires.
At the present moment an at
tack is being made upon the minds
and emotions of the Americans of
Negro blood. 1t will fail, I know
have talked to too many Negroes
in the past months not to be abso-
lutely confident of your loyalty
and steadfastness. But you must
do more than defeat its purpose
you can and must tear the mask
from these Khan raiders of the
mind. You are in the van of the
attack-yours can be the glory in
its defeat!
