A f OF L. TO INVESTIGATE

Federation of Labor, in which Green
promised that an inquiry would be
made this week into the segregated
ulnon proposal Of Tom Ray OF L.
cal ~, Boilermakers Union at the
Kaiser ~shipyard, the NAACP ex-
pressed surprise at learning that
the NAACP was the first to inform
Green of Rays proposal.
The NAACP pointed out that dis
elimination in the Portland ship
yard had been widely publicized in
the press for the past two months
and that the AT of L. represented
by John Frey the AT. of l.. had
participated al a November confer
ence in Portland at which rep-es-
entatives of the War Manpower
Commission, the War Production
Board, and the Maritime Commits
sion met to take action on the Sit.

CONTINUES ATTACK ON JIM
CROW RED CROSS

New York, N " oicing Wig
orous opposition to- the Red Cross
plan to continue with the introduce
ton and extension of segregation in
England and other places by labell-
ig certain Red Cross clubs as EEK
clusively for Negroes in the Europ-
can theatre of Operations. The
NAACP this week stated in a lei
ter to Mr.. Norman H. Davis, Presi-
dent Of the American Red Cross
1T is our information that prior
to the above action Negro soldiers
have eaten, used the recreation
rooms, lounges and shower rooms
and all other facilities of non-seE-
regated American Red Cross Clubs
without difficulty Of any sort with
but a very few exceptions. This
makes all the more ~indefensible and
inexpiicable the attitude Of the a.
merican Red Cross. Insistence up
on it of Jim Crowism not only is 4
needless irritation to Negro sold
iers and officers who are, presum-
ably, in the American Theatre Of
Operations to fight for democracy
but it will inevitably accentuate
prejudice or ignorance on the part
of Some American white soldiers SO
far as Negroes are concerned. And
I need only mention here the wide
spread and growing resentment Of
English people at the fostering Of
American racial segregation pat
terms on Englishmen and English
territory. We further understand
there are a considerable number Of
white Red Cross workers who are
bitterly opposed to this introdr,t-
ion Of segregation which more ac-
curately fits a Hitlerian than a dc.
mocratic way of life"

MARIAN ANDERSON TO SING
AT A SPECIAL CEREMONY
IN WASHINGTON, ID. C.

Marian Anderson, noted Negro
~contralto, will sing at a special
ceremony at the Department of the
Interior on January 6, it was an
nounced by Secretary of the Inter
ior Harold L. Ickes.
Miss Anderson will appear in Tie
auditorium Of the Department OF
the Interior building for a cerem-
ony to be attended by a group OF
prominent Federal officials, mem
bers Of the diplomatic corps, civic
leaders, outstanding Negro repres-
entatives and other prominent per
sons. The occasion will be the for
NAL presentation to the Federal
Government of a mural painting
representing Miss Anderson's first
concert in Washington when she
sang on the steps Of the Lincoln
Memorial on Easter Sunday, 1889.
While all details of the program
for January 6 have not been com
pleted Secretary Ickes said that
Miss Anderson would sing several
Selections. The program will be
conducted in recognition of the
great contributions made by Miss
Anderson Secretary Ickes said.
The mural to be presented was
arranged for by the Marian Ander-
son Mural Committee, under the
Craftsmanship of Edward Bruce. It
depicts the scene at the Lincoln
Memorial at Easter, 1899, when Miss
Anderson sang an outdoor concert
to a crowd Of $4,000 persons gath
cred before the Lincoln Memorial
Use of the Memorial was granted
by Secretary Ickes at that time fol
lowing refusal of the use of Con-
stitution Hall for a concert by the
Negro singer.
To memorable that event, the
Marian Anderson Mural Committee
was formed. Funds to finance a
painting e raised by thousands
of contributions from school child
ren and others throughout the ma
ton interested in the strengthening
of racial relations. Mitchell jam
ieson was chosen to paint the mural
after a national competition. The
mural has been installed in the De-
partment Of the Interior building,
and will be formally presented 10
the Government on behalf of the
Mural Committee. It will be ac-
copied for the Government by Sec
etary Ickes.
Complete details of the program
will be announced later, Secretary
Ickes, said. In addition to partic-
ipation of Negro leaedrs in the e.
vent, plans are being made for the
attendance of a representative
group Of Negro school children who
will appear on behalf OF the many
children who made small contribu-
tons to the fund which financed
the painting Of the mural.
Miss Anderson's appearance at
the Department of the Interior aud
itorium will precede her initial APP
pearance in Constitution Hall when
she sings there on the following
night, Thursday. January 7, on be-
half of the United China Relief.

GA RESOLUTION FOR
THE NEW YEAR
by RUTH TAYLOR)
THE NEW

Resolved: To live with all my
might while l do live"
Such a resolution is worthy of the
keeping. for it calls for the best
that each and everyone of US has
to give. Philip Brooks once wrote
do not pray for easy lives. Pray
10 be stronger men. DO not pray
for tasks equal to your powers.
Pray for powers equal to your
tasks. Then the doing of your
work shall be no miracle, but yod
shall be a miracle"
That is what we need to do this
coming year-to rise to the demands
that will be made upon us-not to
translate those demands into what
we want to do. Most of us can
do a lot mroe than we are doing
most of us can give a lot more than
we are giving-in our homes, our
unions our communities, our nat.
ion. We must live with all our
might today when the fight fol-
right is at our very doorsteps.
Overseas the helpless people Of
the conquered and subjugated ma.
tons r forced into acts utterly
foreign to their own religious and
national ideals, while in the totalil,
arian countries the souls as well
Is the bodies of men are regiment
ed. They hate and worship at the
nod of a power-drunk dictator. But
here we are still free to think. No
one can make us do anything we
do not want to do. No one can
make us lie, or cheat Or steal, or
be cruel, or intolerant, or bear false
witness against our neighbor. We
are free to make our own decisions
and we are free to do right. We
ca nmake a resolve-and we can
keep it.
1t isn't particularly important
what happens to US as individuals
if we stand firm ready to fight or
to die for those things which we
know to be just and right. But it
is important what we ourselves are
If we Shlrk on the job, if we fail
to cooperate if we grouse hard
ships, or if we don't lift our end
of the load, we are not only nurt-
ing others, We are hurting oursel-
ves-and we are not living with
all our might. We aren't doing
the best of which we are capable.
Let's make a new resolve this
New Year. Let's make this world
a better place just because we are
in it. Let's work to the best of our
ability and then do a lot more. This
is u woodland it will be Just

him." He turned Slightly to call back
over his shoulder. "You, Jenkins?
Hear what the road agent says?
What's it all about?"
From the stages dark interior
Andy jenkins answered gravely in a
very quiet voice, cool and collected,
not the least hurrying,
"Tell him, Peters, all I've got on
me is about fourteen dollars, silver,
and a gold watch and chain and
some smoke tobacco. That what he
wants? He's sure welcome"
Long Peters relayed the answer.
Before he had spoken the last word
there was red flash from a point
high up the slope and the reverberat-
ing crack of rifle, and a bullet
whizzed yard or so above his
head.
That's just to show mean bust
ness" the voice called sharply. "Get
a move on you, Jenkins! I know
what you've got and where you got
it and how much. Step lively"
Cole Cody said softly to Long Pc

Jenkins scrambled down out of

There was the sound of his light
tread, then they saw him passing
on beyond the horses, climbing over
the log, stepping along briskly with

and woman ever felt themselves so
truly man and wife as we did. We
never thought of the irregularity OF
our relationship; we had decided
once and for all that ours was a
truer marriage than hundreds that
are approved every day. l suppose
we always intended to straighten it
out, but the years went so fast and
were so happy that nothing seemed
to be missing.
Divorce Too Late.
Nov, TO go back to the old town,
hunt up Harry, and make arrange
ments for divorce without the chill
dren suspecting that something ex-
traordinary was going on, is utterly
out of the question. And even if l
did, what would it accomplish since
Dick is not within reach? The Slight
est suspicion of it would break Pam S
heart, and shame my proud. hand
some, confident boy. They would lose
faith in their mother forever.
"When Dick and l first decided
to take this step l8 years ago." the
letter goes on, 1--WE faced the con-
sequences - or thought we did,
squarely. We even spoke of a posi-
Bile child, and I remember saying
that if we had one he or she would
be little gypsy who wouldn't worry
about conventional oversights. We
felt that we were strong enough to
rise above the law, and to us both it
seemed preposterous that an ire
sponsible, idle, impecunious and i'm
provident man like Harry should
have any power over our lives.
But Dick Junior is NOT an un-
conventional Gypsy type of boy, and
my little Pamela is the clinging gen.
tie type, and l don't dare think of
what the truth would mean to them.
What is the right way out, one that
will save us all?"
I'm not answering this letter, be-
cause as far as l can see, there is
no answer. When and if Dick Sem
Tor comes home after months, it
might be possible for Helen to per-
suade him to make things as right
as they can be made now. If he
doesn't come back, perhaps Helen
could confide in her mother-in-law,
ask the old lady to make the chill
dren of her son her heirs.
Husband Always a Threat.
To find Harry now wouldn't do
much good because Helen, even if
divorced, couldn't be married to
Dick until Dick returns, and unless
Harry has somewhat improved he
might seriously threaten her peace
of mind, and betray her to her chill
dren.
So that the only thing to do is 60
on this way for the present, and
hope that time-time that brin Is
about so many unexpected solutions
to our human mistakes and prob
lems-will offer an opportunity SOON
er or later to straighten out all this.
1t is one thing to call the tune at
%, and feel quite willing to face the
consequences, and it is another to
pay the piper when he cones around
with his bill. Real consequences
have a maddening way of being
much more complicated.
