ment of Justice received a
memorandum pertaining to the
race riots in Detroit, Michigan,
submitted by William HI. Hastie
and ThurgOod Marshall on be-
half of the National AssOcia-

Colored People. From usually
reliable sources it was learned
that the memorandum is receiv-
ing serious and favorable con-
siderati0n.
Mr.. Marshall went to De-
troit, Monday, March 9, to make
further investigation. The De-
partlnent of Justice also nOti-
fled the NAACP last week that

Navy Hires Two
Race Teachers
In Chicago, III.
Appointments
Do Not Indicate
Change in Policy

CHICAGO-(ANP)-- The Navy
. has appointed two teachers to
serve in the navy teacher~trainer
H center here where gobs, mechanics
and various others of the Navy en-
listed personnel are trained. The
= two teachers are Douglas r. Turn
s er Of Chicago who reported to the
!. training course after which he will
! teach meteorology and Lloyd Cor
hin Of xenia, Ohio, who has been
certified to teach aviation me-
chanics.
The navy teacher training CEN
ter is located in the new three
million dollar Chicago vocational
school. When it was completed a
year ago, the navy promptly
q sought it and the city reliaouished
it for the purpose of aiding in
training navy personnel.
Turner, a Chicagoan and former
tennis star at the University of
Illinois, has been teaching at Vir-
ginia Union University. Corbin, a
graduate of Ohio State University
in Columbus, in industrial arts, has
been teaching in Xenia schools for
the past two years.
The appointments do not indi-
cate any especial change in the
attitude Of the Navy, it is felt. The
school at Chicago while under
naval supervision, is in the educa-
tiona1 field and probably not as
hidebound in its attitudes as
southern or Washington brass hats
normally are. Both young men are
Enthusiastically colored. Turner, fear
iul Of naval intolerance, had
Washington contacted when he re-
ceived word to report but naval
headquarters there, when inform
ed he was a Negro, still told him
20 report for duty.

FAULTY SENSE OF PROPORTION

Mr.. Talmadge has become so in
lanta teacher, William II. Reeves,
in the United States District Court
seeking from the Atlanta Board
of Education compensation equal to
that paid white teachers.
FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE
This is an issue that is SO funda-
mentally in line with democratic
principles, the tragedy is that it
was necessary to call upon the
courts to even decide it.
But to Georgia's governor, the
suit is a dangerous thing. Though
the petition was drawn up and
filed by al Atlanta lawyer, with an
Atlanta teacher as the plaintiff,
and the funds to support the action
raised among Atlanta citizens, the
governor sees it as the efforts of
a "furrin" organization to cram
something down the throatS of
GeorgianS, black and white, that
they do not want.
just when Governor Talmadge
took time out to even consider the
wants of Georgias S Negro citizens,
who comprise 40 per cent of the
states population is not made clear.
Nevertheless in his Statesman, he
presumeS to be a spokesman for
this large group of people, whom
heretofore, he has completely for
gotten, except as being a useful
segment Of the population upon
which to make political capital at
election time.
SOME QUESTIONS

Georgia don't want any such suits
as this filed. The Association fol

Not Governor TaImadge. He ap
parently is not at all excited by the

the pseudo patriotic front he adopt
ed in an effort to rescue his fading

is not Hitler and his undersea rat

Hungary and Rumanis
Accused by DayiIa Of
Treason 10 People
Antonescu and Horthy
AssoiIed by Leader
Of Free Movement

Charles A. Davila, head Of the
Free Rumanian Movement in the
United States, today ISSUED a state
ment accusing the governments Of
Hungary and Rumania OF treason
towards the Hungarian and Ruman-
ian peoples for their recent agree
ments with Germany to furnish the
Axis with 100000 troops needed in
Russia.
Mr.. Davila, who formerly was
Rumanian Minister here, said that
Germany is playing of Rumania
and Hungary against each other
and thus gaining its wishes. He
put the responsibility for the agree
ments on Gen. Ion Antonescu Of
Rumania and Regent Nicholas
Horthy OF Hungary.
The fear of Bolshevism Is, Of
course, besides the Nationalist con-
siderations. the reason given to
their people by Horthy and An
tonescu," Mr.. Davila's statement de-
clared. T.
Reactionary Pretext.
But that is the typical pretext
| of all reactionary regimes every
where. I am convinced that So
Wet Russia. after its adherence to
the Atlantic Charter, will give q
fair deal to all its neighbors II
they become real democracies.
THE heroic resistance Of the
Yugoslav, Polish and Greek people
against those who try to inslave
them is q shining example for the
Rumanian and Hungarian peoples.
It is part Of their free movement
to make them understand that
they must fight on the side Of
freedom for dear life and dearer
honor"
Mr.. Davila also said:
TN his grim and most convincing
address to the House Of Commons,
the Prime Minister (ChurchilD said
a few days ago:
1--WE are fighting for dear life
| ana dearer nonor.
THE Hungarian and Rumanian
people must be made to understand
where their duty lies. If Hitler
won, they would become slaves Of
the German Herrenvolk.
Should Have Resisted.
But today, after the Atlantic
Charter was signed by rs nations
including the U. s. S. r., after the
latter have proved to be a most
serious match for the German
armies, after the United States Of
America has entered the war, 1t
would be reasonable and criminal
for both Messrs. Antonescu and
Horthy to force their people to shed
more blood to help Hitler's hopeless
attempt to enslave the world.
IF they had had some sense and
had not been blinded by anachronic
chauvinism and class prejudices,
they would have got together. stuck
together against Hitler's demands,
repudiated together the Vienna ar
bitration of 1910 and trusted the
Atlantic Charter for q Just deal
