The War Department today an
nounced that the army will CO.
operate with civic and patriotic or
CARNATIONS in the celebration Of
Independence Day, Labor Day and
Armistice Day in major cities
throughout the county. The army

lians may make close inspection of
the srmy's tools.
Open house at camps, posts and
stations will be held on each of
these national holidays. Drills, ex-
hibitions and other military cere-
monies appropriate 10 the occasions
will be Staged.
The army plans to make every ef-
fort 10 hold nationwide demonstra-
tons on these three days to acquaint
the public with the character Of the
military forces. All troops and
equipment that can be used for the
purpose without interfering with
training and military requirements
will be available for these cele-
brations.

Taxes For County
Lower This Year

Wayne County's 1942-1943 tax rate
will be lower than the l94I-l942
levy Of S5.55 per $1,000 of valuation,
it was definitely indicated follow
ing the completion Of preli minary
budget hearings before the new
Board of County Auditors. These.
hearings were the first ever con-
Quoted by a board in advance of
budget considerations.
This fact developed Monday when
James D. Friel, secretary Of the
board, forwarded the report Of his
colleagues. County Auditors Ray
Hafeli and John c. Cowan and him.
self as member, to the County Tax
ALLEGATION Board.
Every department head was in
terrogated as TO the absolute mini
mum requirement for next year
consistent with adequate public
service. Despite increased activities
due TO defense preparation and re-
quirements; TO increased cost Of
commodities, supplies and personal
service the new budget for county
needs alone will be $315,0OO less
than set up in the present budget.
The Huron-Clinton Metropolitan
Authority Law having been upheld
by the state supreme court, Wayne
county must levy one-eighth mill
for It's share, Mr. Hafeli pointed out.
Even this addition will not bring
the l942-i943 rate above the present,
as a preliminary rate OF S5.425 per
$1,000 was requested for general
county purposes alone, he said.

that the American Negro is agitated
not because he is asked to fight for
America but because full partici-

Company Has Usually
Side-Tracked Issue

Quote: The recent controversy
In the Dodge Truck company, in
volying the strike OF some 300 en-
ployees. and the firing Of two, be-
cause Of the transfers of less than
. dozen Negroes, places our union
in a better position to meet the
Negro question, than ever before
In every case, previously involving
the transfer or promotion Of Ne
groes, the company always capitu-
lated, by taking a rather weak po-
sition, that is before any showdown
could be reached, Negroes facing
such transfers or promotions, were
generally returned to their former
employment. The company would
say that it was the men. The union
would say that il was the company.
In the Dodge Truck. the company
took a position, and the union took
a position. The Negroes were trans
ferred, and the rest Of them are
working, with no further trouble
anticipated. This business-like posi-
ton, taken by labor and industry,
will now become the one advocated
by the Inter racial Committee in
the Hudson Naval Ordnance Plant,
where the Hudson Motor company
has shown urexplainable weakness
for the past two months. President
Thomas has stood firm on the posi-
ton that he took before the Ma
tional Convention of two months
ego. He stated that he as president
Of the UAW-CIO would enforce the
provisions of the constitution as
long as it remained there. further
adding. that those who disagreed
with the clause OF our constitution
which states that there shall be
no discrimination against persons
because of race, creed or national
origin, should come to the next
convention and change this or be
willing to go along with H." Walter
Hardin, chairman, Inter-racial COM
mittee, UAW-CIO.
