Young Communists
to Hold Lincoln
Douglass Rally

According to its sponsors a Lin
coln-Douglass rally Of the Young
Communist League on Sunday,
Feb. IA, will be a demonstration
for the complete defeat Of the Axis
and for the full Indignation of the
Negro people in the war effort. It
will also protest the position of
Major Gen. J. A. Ulio, Adjutant
General who has stated that the
intermingling of Negro and white
soldiers is obstructive to morale
and detrimental to the war effort"
The above statement of the Ad-
jutant General was contained in a
letter to Harold Schachter, State
Secretary of the Young Communist
League, in a War Department ac-
acknowledgement Of petitions demand
ing the immediate creation Of a
mixed regiment of Negro and white
soldiers. These petitions contained
the names of over 300 Negro and
white residents of the Twin Cities
and were circulated by the Young
Communist League.
In releasing the above informa-
ton Mr.. Schachter stated that,
"every experience has proven con-
clusively that the Negro people are
Loyalty supporting the war effort
in full understanding that Hit
Ter victory will destroy any hopes
of moving toward complete free
dom. Together with millions of
white citizens they are only against
those policies which are obstacles
to victory. Such an obstacle is our
national shame-discrimination and
jim-crowism. The heroic deeds of
Dorie Miller and Charles French
are an inspiration to all liberty low
ing Negro and white Americans.
The creation Of a mixed regiment
would be greeted as a contribution
to national unity and to the unity
of the United Nations. It would
not be detrimental to the war effort,
on the contrary, it would help
greatly"
The rally on Feb. IA will feature
as speakers the Rev. Robert W.
Kelly of the Border Methodist
Church, Sam Swanson, labor organ
izer and Mr.. Schachter. Newest
Office of War Information movies
will be shown. One film is "Henry

features commentary by Spencer

It will be held at Victory Youth
Center, 1850 Chicago Ave. at $3.50
p. m. Admission is 10c. The public
is invited.

NAACP Doubts
FDR's Plan on
Will Work

Washington, D. C.-Doubt as to
the value of a meeting such as pro-
posed this week by President
Roosevelt in his request that War
Manpower Commissioner Paul V.
McNutt call a conference of lead
ers of groups opposing employ
ment discrimination was expressed
this week by the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People.
The N. A. A. C. P. indicated its
approval of President Roosevelt's
wish that the Fair Employment
Practice Committee have more
power and larger personnel but in
a telegram to the White House
said:
cit is not clear, however, why a
conference of organizations, such
as you propose Mr.. McNutt should
call, is necessary to accomplish
these ends. The NAACP and other
organizations have already stated
their position to you. The war is
not waiting for conferences. Work
ers are needed in industry now. The
NAACP therefore urges you as
president to give the Fair Employ
ment Practice Committee without
further delay such powers and per-
sonnet as are necessary for the ac-
complishment of it's vital task. The
minimum program which would
make the committee effective is
first, immediate re-scheduling of
railroad hearings; second, estab-
lishment of committee in indepen-
dent office of president and its re-
moval from War Manpower Com
mission or any other subsidiary
governmental body; third, sane
lions for committee in form of pub
lie hearings; power to impose
money and other penalties and all
additional authority necessary to
accomplish the gargantuan task of
eliminating discrimination in gov
eminent and war industries; fourth,
selection of a committee strong
enough to resist anti-Negro, anti
Semitic, sectional or other political
pressures; fifth, adequate staff and
budget for committee"
