Ans: Boys who are in the SER

joying a gay, frivolous life with

your bargain.
F. C.-I feel sure the advice
you have eben giving to folks has
helped them. Help us. We want a
home of our own and we are plan
ming to get one when we can.
How soon do you think we can
have our dream realized?
Ans: The foundation of your
home is being laid right now. The
regular purchase of War Bonds

sible. There is no better method
of saving for your home than

him personally, know that he is

to consent, to one, because we

first child very soon. He has been
home on short leaves many times,
yet 1 don't feel that We have real
ly gotten acquainted. Am l too
optimistic to feel that he may

Ans: The attitude you are tax

J. S. REDDING WRITES
BEST SELLER ON
USO CENTERS WORK

vastly important spade work in
community operations, welfare
work and education is being done
for the negro service man, war
workers anu other civilians at the
USO centers. This is the conclu-
sion drawn by ]. Saunders Red
ding. Negro author of the best
seller, mo Day of Triumph" who
recently returned from a three
weeks tour of USO clubhouses.
which he took to gather material
for a comprehensive article for a
leading magazine on the care this
organization is providing the Ne
gro.
At his desk at USO headouar-
ters. Mr.. Redding elaborated on
this conclusion.
Ihere is strong tendency on
the part of the Negro to be clan
nlsh in community operations, but
L noticed signal improvement in
this respect to those communi-
ties where a USO clubhouse was
located. Because club directors
must call upon all reputable local
organizations to fill the large or
der of providing entertainment and
care for service men and their
families, these organizations, If
they wish to share in the war
effort, are compelled to give up
this greedy preservation of their
own individuality and work CO.
operatively for a common good.
EInr,oa .,,a1.
portant feature of USO programs,
is provided largely through the
churches which are in contact
with resident families, so that re-
ligious groups too must work in
unity No one faith or denomina-
ton can possibly supply all the
needs to all the men, just as the
resources of no one civic or fra
ternal organization can suffice.
This r-organizational and in
ter-church cooperation Is a very
important innovation in Negro life.
THE welfare work done by the
directors is equally necessary. This,
type of work applies more to the
centerS for war workers than for
service men. OF these come thou
sands of young girls and young
men who are thrown into a new
community and new life. USO
not only provides healthful recre-
alton for them but sees to it that
they are respectfully housed and
hygienically safeguarded. Negro
social agencies are not yet organ
ized thoroughly enough to do this
work alone"
Mr.. Redding believes that the
benefits provided by USO in the
cultural and educational field are
perhaps the most vital contribution
of all. He declared himself partic-
ularly impressed by the courses in
music appreciation and was amaz-
ed to see the eagerness with which
the men listened to long SYM
phonic recordings and those of
operas and concert recitals.
Mr.. Redding also writes for
such magazines as Harper's, the
Atlantic Monthly and Mercury. He
received his Phi Beta Kappa key
at Brown University, Providence.

Race Bigotry Decried
By Wagner, White In
Speeches on Unity
At Home Series

NEW YORK, N. Y. - Asserting
that 1--WE do not need more in
vestigation so much as we need
to apply remedies already we'll
known" Robert Wagner, 3D., N.
Y.) reminded Sept. 1 listeners to
WMCA Unity at Home. Victory
Abroad" program here that at
the root of outbreaks like the
August l Harlem disturbance were
the well known conditions of
segregation, discrimination, in
security, overcrowding and bad
housing"
Wagner called the democratic
spirit as seen expressed on New
York's sidewalks, symbolic of
Americas strength.
"Only in a democracy" said
Wagner, would we find citizens
of a minority race such as the
Negro, serving with distinction as
Judges, and police officials, in
legislative and executive positions,
in the City and State of New York.
Only in democracy could peo-
pie, drawn from the four corners
of the earth, live as citizens and
neighbors, uniting their efforts in
the progress of our City and Ma
ton.
Where this picture of harmony
and good will is marred by some
minority incident or problem, it
simply shows that our perform
ance does not quite come up to.
our sincere ideals.
I'm the recent Harlem outbreak,
the physical damage caused by
lawless individuals resembled the
damage that might be caused by
an enemy air raid. But the diff
ference is this-while air raid
damage would have strengthened
our unity, the damage that oc
CURED in Harlem uncovered an
element of disunity and a weak
ness in our armor of defense"
In another broadcast earlier in
the Unity at Home" series, Wal
ter White NAACP executive secre-
tary on August % over WORK
also discussed racial bigotry within
the United States.
"One of the tragedies of our
present situation is that too often
bigotry is dynamic, untiring. and
amply financed; while the forces
of decency and democracy are pas
sive, inarticulate, and unorganized.
That is why this series of 80 days
of broadcasts on Unity At
Home; Victory Abroad, arranged
by Mayor LaGuardia whose hand
ling of the recent trouble here in
New York set a superb standard
for America, is of the utmost i'm
portance. This is not question
of every American loving Jews or
Negroes, Catholics or Protestants,
foreign or native born. You and
1 do not have to do that. But
we do have the obligation to speak
out against bigotry and to work
actively against the denial of any
democratic right to any other
American because of his race, his
creed, his color, or his place of
birth. We must do this If for no
other reason than that when you
or 1 either deny, or permit others
to deny justice to another Am
ef1can, we thereby fop ourselves
of these very rights.
"Too often even those in high
position take the easy way of op-
portunism. For example: the At
torney General of the United
States, Mr.. Biddle, recently made
a proposal-which is a violation
of the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution-to deny a man the
right to move to an industrial
city to work-if that man be a
Negro. 1 understand. now, that
because of public outcry against
this proposal to the President that
this particular recommendation
has been dropped"
