Should this happen, the age limit
would be removed and training
program would be available for
many others.
At his press conference on Mon
day, McNutt announced the pro-
posed plan whereby 100000 mem
bers of the armed forces would be
sent to universities and colleges to
study medicine and other sciences.
McNutt said he would make a
complete announcement on this as
soon as the information was in the
hands Of all universities and COL
leges.
The educational plan was under
taken in an effort to safeguard the
needs of the armed services and
industry and government as well,
for doctors and scientists. Only
those who have specific capabilities
in the sciences, particularly those
who were studying these things at
the time of their induction, will
be sent back to schools.

do, and he also pointed out how
huge quantities of food are being
sent to our fighting men and allies.
The session on industry got
underway Wednesday evening and
continued through Thursday after
noon with series of forum and
panel discussions on various phases
of training and utilizing of Negro
ManpOwer. Mr.. Carson took an ac-
tive part in conducting and sum-
med them up in his address here
Thursday night.
"The narrowing Of jobs oppor-
tunities for Negroes" he said, Is
not due altogether to race, but in
a large measure to economic con-
ditions. Now that the war is on and
manpower is in great demand, the
competition for jobs among various
groups is relaxed. This is the time,
Mr.. Corson, said, for Negroes to
take advantage of the employ
ment opportunities to prove their
Skills and capabilities so as to be
in demand for larger margin OF
jobs after the war"
Already we have 100000 men
and women in war industries; by
the end of next year we will have
%, 900 0G0; We'll have 100000 men
in the armed forces and enough
workers for our fans. Our record of
achievement in manpoWer mobil-
cation will go down in history.
The closing session of the con-
\ fenrece was held in the institute
hCapel where the Tuskegee choir,
conducted by William L. Dawson,
sang numbers. A summary Of the
conferences findings is being edit
ed by a committee, headed by DR.,

sity. Other members of the COM
mittee are Mrs Bessie Walcott of

tons Department. Cy w Record,

of the Information Division, F'SA.
and Sherman BriScoe, USDA,
| Washington.
Emphasizing the Importance of
training and the full utilization of
all available lnanpoWer, DR.. Haber
said that more than 100000 men
and women will be trained for war
jobs next year. He also said that
100000 workers may have to be
taken out Of less essential indus
tries and put into essential war
work in order that our 80 billion
dollar war production job can be
achieved in 1943.
Going further, he said, mo army

Soldiers Find Chicago Prices
Lower Than Those In Atlanta

The hotel situation in Chicago
during the holiday season is in the
most part critical. Tt is impossible
to get rooms at weekly rates and
the daily rates are with a few ex-
ceptions lower than hotel rates in
the south. In releasing the figures
compiled over a month of investi-
Cation it was found that high
pdices for cabs and food were led
by Atlanta and cities listed in the
following order:
Atlanta, jacksonville. Washing
ton, Omaha, Birmingham, New
York, Columbus, Ga, Kansas City,
Philadelphia, and Chicago.
Food prices on the railroads are

in Chicago and that Negro soldiers
were not tagged the extra fares
noted IN Birmingham, Atlanta and
the larger southern cities.
1t was found that in some caSCa
ride of almost three miles OF
South Parkway in Chicago could
be had for 10 or IS cents while a
ride that distance in Atlanta would
cost N most cases from $100 up
ward. While food prices necessari-
ly are higher because of the war,
soldiers are charged the Same
prices as civilian and in some
cases lower. Several soldiers who
came to Chicago on furlough were
pleased to know that a good meal
could be gotten at a reasonable
price.

The swift moving army OF black
fighters mounted on camelS NOV
ing I'D from French Equatorial
Africa now forms the biggest threat
not only to RornmePs fleeing efforts
TO Join hands with the Nazis at
Tunisia, but keeps the reinforced
Nazis facing the Americans, open
to a disastrous danking attack.
MOST SIGNIFICANT
To this writer the most signi-
ficant statement contained II the
Office of War Information release
cited the true reason why these
black Frenchmen fight with SO
much tenaciousnesS and in the
same instance pointed out how
America might increase the zeal
with which ten per cent of her
army, who are black men, so into
battle.
The paragraph is well worth
quoting:
One reason for the excellent
fighting spirit of the French
native soldiers is the attitude
of the French in not establish
ing rigid color bars. The French
have exhibited far less racial
bias against the native than
have Anglo SaxOns. The educat-
ed native becomes citizen of
France with the same rights as
xryI1,fo oI, a
.Frenchman can aspire to the
highest posts in the political
and administrative hierarchy.
Frenchmen of African descent
have served as Vice-President
of the Chamber of Deputies
and under Secretary of State.
And Felix Eboue is now Cover
nOr-GeneraI of French Africa"
In that one potent paragraph
sent out by your government tell
ing how another government has
found a solution to what Ameri-
cans mistakenly call a problem of
Color" lies the pathway to per-
manent peace. Men like Rankin
Dixon and other Negrophobes, who
say otherwise are only breeding
before this war is over, the eggs
that are certain to hatch into an
even greater catastrophe.
| Wendell Willkie sees it. Pearl
Buck, Vice President Henry A. Wal
lace and Under Secretary of State
Summer Welles have sounded the
warnings. Theirs are the voices
crying in the wilderness voices
which must be heard. There can
be no permanent peace where there
is Imperialism, where exists racial
| inequalities, where rank racial
determinations flourish. That is
the great truth that must be clear
/ ly seen by all who sit at the peace
table-if there is to be lasting,
victorious peace.

Even raee-conscious, Hitler,
a corporal in the last war, re-
membered well the ability of
the hardhitting SenegaIese to
spread utter terror iii the hearts
of the so-calIed superior Ar
vans" This was shown when
in building the Third Reich
Army. he designed special
weapon with these black war
riors of France i'll mind. That
is actually the history of the
ffame-thrower, which has been
used with such telling effect.
Well remembered by the Ger
mans, too, are the valiant black
fighters of America, who knew not
the meaning of retrea. The rec
ord of the 369th, who under the
heaviest artillery fire the Germans
could muster, gave not single
inch, is one that any army might
well be proud of.
DIRE REFLECTION
That these facts have not been
made generally known to the people
for whom they were making these
supreme sacrifices, is a dire reflec-
ton on a nation which in truth
owes them eternal gratitude.
For the first time, too, as the
result of the Office of War In
formation release. Americans
generally were Informed of the
tremendous contribution to our
cause that is being made by
brilliant black man, Governor
General Felix A. EbOue, a
native of this hemisphere.
Despite the fact that some of
the unofficial censors who sit be-
hind editorial desks on many of
the Southern newspapers, deleted
the information that Governor
Eboue is Negro, the fact never
theleSS was allowed to go through
telling how important has been
his assistance in the struggle for
freedom.
RECOGNITION GIVEN
Due recognition was given this
black mans military proWeSs in
using an army of $4,000 crack
colonials to form an insurmount-
able barrier preventing a junction
between the Italian Libyan Army
under Marshall GRAHAM and the
Facist Ethiopian Force under the
Duke of Aosta in the early days of
the French ArmiStice.
That one act set not only
the stage for Ethiopia's return
to independence, but also laid
the groundwork for the pres
ent United Nations offensive
in North Africa,
