WASHINGTON, June 30. r With
trans Mediterranean military oper-
ations on a major scale closely inn
pending, the Washington govern
ment, it is revealed, is ready to
back Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, AL
lied commander in Africa, to the
limit in whatever steps he finds
necessary to eliminate the threat
to success created by the political
controversy between French Cen
erals Charles DeGaulle and Honore
Giroud, heading rival factions.
This information came from I'M
Improbable sources who cannot be
directly quoted.
Washington expects Gen. Eisen-
hover to tolerate no DeGaullist or
other Frehch activities which would
delay the execution of Allied mill
tary operations or jeopardize Anglo
American and French vital supply
lines north and west of Africa.

The W ashingt ton
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
major Robert s. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON.-It is no secret
that today's biggest worry among
highup officials is Russia's reac-
ton to current Allied strategy and
the delay in establishing a Second
Front in Western Europe.
For IS solid months Stain has
been requesting an Allied invasion
straight across the English chan
mel to the heart of the enemy. He
has never been too sympathetic
with operations in the Mediter-
ranean, has regarded them as de-
tours, has pointed out that the job
of an army was to engage the
enemy and that the way to en-
gage the bulk of the Nazi army was
by an attack in France, not by
lighting italians and six or eight
divisions of the Afrika Corps.
When Stain has been reminded
Of the tremendous losses sure to
result from bucking the bristling
guns and hidden mines Hitler has
placed along the French coast, he
has pointed to the millions Of Rus
slams lost in battle.
Therefore, it takes no mind
reader or even 'astute Ambassador
Joseph E. Davies to know that our
present peculiar amphibious oper-
atoms" in the Mediterranean must
get sour reaction inside the
Kremlin.
Moreover. it needs no report from
Joe Davies to guess that this sour
ness is sure to be taken out chief
" against the British. Real fact is
that Stain has never trusted
Churchill. He also remembers the
old Cliveden Set proposals that
Germany be encouraged to attack
Russia, so the two countries coulc
bleed each other white.
So naturally, suspicion must
linger that the British would like
to see Germany and Russia con-
tinue bearing the main brunt oil
battle, both weakening each other
and leaving the British in posi-
ton to follow their traditional poll
cy of holding the balance of power
after the war is over.
That is why recent conferences
between Foreign Minister Molotofi
and the Jap Ambassador in Mos

Planners Have Idea
To Fix Aui0 Traffic
Highway Congestion
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, June 28-There'S
so much talk of postwar planning
these days, it's hard to see the wal
through the clouds over the future
But don't get me wrong. The lack
CT postwar planning has been the
prelude to more wars and more
economic disasters than all others
factors combined. The trouble is
that most outlines for peace are
nebulous ideologies which are not
backed up by hard-headed, two
listed, practical blueprints.
Wilson's IA Points, President
Roosevelt's -Four Freedoms, the At
lantic Charter-with its Pacific ex-
tensions and the Good Neighbol
Policy-are wonderful moons tc
shoot at, if somebody back home
is building the rocket ships that
will get US there
That's why I want to tell you
about a little movement starting
here in Washington today. At the
moment, it doesn't amount tc
much. In the scheme of things tc
come for a U. S.A. at peace, ii
may amount to a whole lot.
The movement is simply one tc
save our present federal-aid high
way system and to blueprint net
work Of shuttle roads between traf-
fic centers that will take care oil

Modern NOmad

In early youth we used to hide
Each time a gypsy train was spied,
Those caravans Of painted wagons
We thought were full Of awful
dragons.
And when some gypsy fortune
teller
Raped our door we hid in cellar,
Only folks with itching heels
Would care to make their homes
on wheels.
The gypsies now have settled down
With tea-rooms in most every
town
The city folk with moving lamps
Keep rolling toward the trailer
camps.
There is no urge that seems to
goad
Like sunlight and the open road,
The pleasant breeze, the rowing
mood
Can give a recluse gypsy blood.
Some farmers now are rich and fat,
The "No Trespass" is Welcome

JAMAICA NEGROES VS..
NATIVES

The government brought several
thousand Jamaica, B. W. l., Ne
groes over here to work as farm
laborers. But it was careful to ex-
plain that these people were not
accustomed to racial discrimination
and must be handled accordingly.
But for its own Negroes, the gov
eminent, through the War depart
ment, says not a word. Everyone
knows that Negroes reared, edu-
Gated and trained in New York
State resent bitterly and violently
the treatment handed out by Mis-
sissippi and Georgia whites. There
is no way on earth for the War de-
partment to make them like it.
There is no law which says they
have to stand it indefinitely. These
men from Harlem know that men
are just men and that wilderness
does not make a man superior.
That may be the thought in Mis-
sissippi, but not in Manhattan. We
know better.
This situation brings up the old
question of why the War depart
ment sends northern Negro troops
to be trained in the South. If the
department is determined to follow
this policy, then it would seem that
it is obligated to insist that its
soldiers be treated as soldiers and
not as slaves-Roy Wilkins.

the manner in which Negroes are
treated. In addition, the Detroit
conference hopes to consider and
perfect plans by which the interest
and cause of Negroes will be rep
resented at the Peace Table in the
postwar period.
At no period in our American
history has it been more urgently
vital and imperative than now that
effective and long-range planning
be made on behalf of Negro Amer
leans and their future status. For
no matter how seriously certain
writers and speakers may contend
that jim-crowism, segregation and
other racial wrongs should be left
to the South for solution, the ines
capable fact is that the color ques-
ton ceases to be a sectional matter
and that by the very pressure of
the times, it becomes in scope, a
national and international concern.
And in the words of one recent
writer, "How free is a man who
cannot go where other men go, or
work where other men work, be-
cause he is of a different color 2"
That is the question a great many
Negroes are asking, and will con-
tinue to ask.
There can be no honest blinking
the fact that in the North, now
almost as in the South, that anti
discrimination laws, dis guis e d
though they may be, operate
against the Negro effectively as
they do in the South. So that the
Detroit Conference is not only
faced with problems more involved
than ever in our history, but like
wise, is challenged to prosecute
wise and long-range plans by which
these colored Americans can share
more equitably in their government.
We believe that the conscience of
America will come to a fuller and
more just realization of this vision
and challenge of the Four Free
doms.-Atlanta World.

ing School, Hampton Institute
Hampton, Va.
My dear Mrs. Smith:
Your son has maintained an
average of ninety or better for
the past four weeks, and conse-
quently has been on the honor
roll for that period.
The work covered by stu
dents in the sixteen-week pc
Rod is quite intensive and in
practical work is equivalent to
two years in an ordinary col
lege. Our standards are very
high, and competition, while
friendly, is keen. You can see,
therefore, the significance of
a student appearing on the
honor roll for four consecu-
tive weeks.
We believe that the progress
made by your son is due large
ly to the training and guild
ance under your supervision
through the years, hence, we
feel that congratulations are in
order to you both.
Very sincerely yours,
