Although the capture of Nezhin
spotlighted yesterdays Russian ad-
vance, the Soviet forces to the south
were not idle. Driving toward the
great bend in the Dnieper, Moscow
said, they captured Gulai Pole and
Pokrovskoye, both so miles from
zaporozhe. a Dnieper River city
which also is an important point on
the one railway line leading to
Melitopol and the Crimea.
Cutting of this line would
jeopardize another large segment of
German forces which are garrison
ing the Crimean Peninsula and the
Tamensk area across the Kerch
Strait.
More than 1000 Germans were
killed in the battle for Gulai Pole
and Pokrovskoye. Large numbers of
enemy tanks and guns were de-
stroyed. A covering umbrella of
Soviet warplanes downed "a Ger

Makes Strong Weapon
For Axis, FEPC Told
By the Associated Press.

Exploitation of race relations
problems in the United Statse is
one OF the most successful Axis
propaganda weapons, Prof. CLYDE
r. Miller of Columbia University
told the Presidents Committee on
Fair Employment Practices today.
In the Far East, Japan unremit-
fingly directs the attention of hun
dreds of millions of colored .Asiatics

our President In this war for hu-
man freedom are statements proven
false by the acts of white Americans

with colored SKINS" Mr. Miller tes-
titled before the FEPC panel in

against colored persons by % rail-
roades and IA railway labor unions.
japanese and German exploita-
ton of the feeling of racial supe-
rlority OF Americans who conscious

Ter pattern of what anthropologists
call the myth of racial superiority
is extraordinarily effective, dynamic

DR.. William M. Leiserson, chair
man OF the National Railway Medi-
alton Board, said earlier he had mo
comment" to make regarding
charge made before the committee by
DR.. Herbert r. Northrup. War Labor
Board staff adviser, that he had
aided and advised white labor unions
on methods to deny colored workers
fair representation in collective bar
gaining.
DR.. Leiserson said he did not ex-
pect to appear before the committee.
DR.. Northrup also declared yester-
day that the late James w. Carmalt,
1ormer Mediation Board member.
advised the unions on methods to
discriminate against colored work
ers. Letters from DR.. Leiserson and
Mr.. Carmalt to railway labor union
officials were read into the records
by DR.. Northrup.
Mr.. Carmalt advised a white rail
union involved in a iurisdictional
election that increased representa-
tion for colored workers constituted
an unhealthy condition." DR..
Northrup declared.
Msgr. Francis J. Haas Is chair
man of the FEPC, which is charged
BY President Roosevelt with the
duty of eliminating discrimination
because of creed, color, religion, or
racial origin in any war industry.

Railway Union Official
Visits White House,
Asks Wage Action

Railroad workers are very much
exercised at the delay" they are en-
countering In demand for wage
increase. George Harrison, spokes-
man for 100000 operating
workers today told newsmen after
conference with President Roose-
welt in which the pay impasse was
reviewed.
An emergency panel recommend
ed an Scent hourly increase for
these groups in May. after negotia-
tions extending over since last fall,
but Economic Sterilization Director
Vlnson refused to permit it to 60
into effect. He said the workers
were not entitled to anything under
the Little Steel" formula.
Since Mr.. Vinson rejected the
board decision the bro.herhoods and
rail management have signed con-
tract calling for an Scent advance
and the unions have been seeking
it's approval, although seemingly the
contract terms would fall under the
same ban by the stabilization di-
rector as did the emergency board
award.
Mr.. Harrison said that the mat
ter was discussed at some length"
with President Roosevelt, but he
did not feel at liberty, he explained,
to say what the Presidents reaction
was.
Adding that he was hopeful some
thing could be done, Mr.. Harrison
said the delay in getting action was
resulting in tremendous turnover

clude shopcraft, maintenance men.

actually identified with tram opera

Mr.. Harrison would not predict
what might happen if the wage pro-
posals absolutely failed. He said he
old not want to get into that field.
Mr.. Harrison is head of the Broth
erhood of Railway Clerks. His as
sociates at the meeting with the

More than year ago, he said,
an order was issued that no pre-

said he would not argue the legality
of that order, but that it was not

and Coast Guard had 1883 200 male
officers and men on active duty, plus
SO, 1868 female personnel.
He placed the requirements on
December 81, 1943, at 2,935 ,284 males
and 74,297 females. for a total of
5000 ,581, and listed the following
needs for male personnel from Sep
tember through December:
September 8,618, October 147 1876,
November 125,274, and December
121 .274, or total OF 532,362.
IF the Navy is to be expected to
carry out its mission in this effort,
and If ships and aircraft now under
construction are to be manned. it is
necessary that these personnel be
procured according 10 schedule" Ad-
miral Jacobs said.
