NAACP AGAINST
GAINESVILLE, Ga.
Warning Order
Files Protest !.
With Governor,
Asks FBI Probe
By WILLIAM A. FOWLKES

ATLANTA, Ga. = (SNS) =
The Atlanta branch of the
NAACP has protested to Governor
Arnall and asked the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation to probe re-
cent warning by the mayor OF
GAINESVILLE to men or women, who
have been employed as cooks and
nurses and who are not now en-
ployed" to work or be arrested or
prosecuted.
The circular, according to Chair
man A. T. Walden, of the Atlanta
branch NAACP's Committee on
Legal Redress, "is directed at do
mestic servants who have been re-
ceiving pensions or allotments from
the government, and who, preSum-
ably, are not now working on ac-
count of such support" The bulk
of domestic servants in Barnesville
are Negroes, it was pointed out, and
the warning order" is inherently
capable of producing dissatisfaction
and disharmony in our ranks"
The text of the official warning"
by Mayor Harvey j. Kennedy of
GAINESVILLE, is as follows:
Last year proclamation
was issued by me in my official
capacity as Mayor, directing
everyone in this city to work.
Since that time great number
who were then idle have gone
to work. However, it has been
called to my attention that
many who were formerly en-
ployed as domestic help have
quit their jobs and are now
idlers and Migrants. am told
that some of these former do
nestle workers are getting PEN
sions and dependents allot-
ments from the government
and they feel that do not have
to work. This Is i'm direct con-
flict with our war effort, with
the laws of Georgia, and is

CoIored, White

Session AT AU
Outgrowth Of
Durham, Atlanta
Conferences
BY WILLIAM A. FOWL IS

ATLANTA, Ga. - fSNS) -
Southern Negro and white lead
ers forming the Continuation Com
mittee of the Durham and Atlanta
Conferences made another step in
the effort of solving the undemo-
cratic problems peculiar to this
section Wednesday in a one-day
conference at Atlanta University.
Answering the challenge of a
group of representative Negro lead
ers meeting In Durham that the
South awaken and grant its Negro
citizens equal rights in many re-
Stricted field and the acceptance
of that challenge by cooperative
group of which leaders meeting in
Atlanta, the Continuation Commit
tee called for the organization of a
Southern Regional Council to in
sure progress ''in all approaches to
these goals of equal opportunity"
The committee declared that it
gathered to covenant together in
harmony and unanimity to make
this day, Or what this day should
bring to pass, epochal in a new
purpose, new understanding, and
a new fellowship" It said further:
In the name and declaration of
Americas science and education we
seek to find and to tell the truth.
In the name and spirit of Ameri-
cas- democracy, we seek the way of
equal opportunity. In the name of
Americas patriotism, we strive for
loyalty to the American dream for
leadership to guide, and for states
manship adequate to carry the bur-
den of the new America. In the
name and spirit of Americas Chris
tianity, we search for the new
faith of fellowship. :"
NEW DECLARATION
The leaders agreed, first upon "a
new declaration of American prin-
cipleS and new dedication of our
selves to the task of covenanting
together with all regions and all
races for the continued better or
dering of our society,"" They de-
clared further:
We recognize fully that in the
present crisis this covenant Is as
important as the earlier cornpacts
of the forefathers, and that the
framework within which we COW
enant together must comprehend
compact and a charter which
guarantees equality of opportunity
for all peoples. This means more
specifically as bearing upon the
burden of our present counseling
that the Negro in the United States
and in every region is entitled to
and should have every guarantee of
equal opportunity that every other
citizen of the United States has
within the framework of the Ameri-
can democratic system of govern
ment."

cerning Italy"

Safeway Stores Ask
Court 10 Ease Ban on
Potato Markups

5, Safeway Stores, Inc, late yester-
day filed complaint in the United
States Emergency Court of Appeals
against Price Administrator Brown,
asking relief from an OPA regula-
ton which, 1t is claimed, prevents
the Arm from marking up prices on
potatoes and onions in performance
of alleged functions of wholesalers
and intermediate dealers.
The complaint says that whole
salers and intermediate dealers are
allowed to mark up the prices to
the extent of so cents on 100 pounds
of potatoes and 40 cents on so
pounds of onions. 1t adds that the
Safeway Stores, Inc, operating more
than 1890 retail stores. is not al
lowed the markup, although it per-
forms functions similar to whole
salers and intermediate dealers who
are allowed the markups.
The complaint claims the OPA
regulation preventing the firm from
the markup imposes IAN arbitrary
discrimination" 1t likewise says
that it imposes an unreasonable
burden on complainant in that it
requires complainant to absorb costs
for performing certain essential
wholesale functions in the handling
of potatoes and onions"
Furthermore" says the complaint,
sin operation and effect the regu-
lation arbitrarily and injuriously
discriminates against consumers in
view of the prevailing scarcities in
supplies of potatoes and onions
available to the public through low
cost retail outlets such as those
owned and operated by complainant,
thereby forcing consumers to patron
ize high-cost outlets and black mar
kets to secure such products"
1t also is claimed that the Price
Administrator failed to act on
protest regarding the markups
within the time prescribed by law.
The complaint was filed in behalf
Of the firm by Attorneys Elisha
Hanson and Eliot G. Lovett.
