j. 5. Cannot
Condone Race
Riots, He Says
Enemies of F. D. r,
Hit by Mate In
Ringing Address

DETROIT - (SNS) - "We can
not fight to crush Nazi brutality
abroad and condone race riots at
home," Vice President Wallace de-
clared here Sunday in one of the
most ringing speeches of his career.
"We cannot plead for equality of
opportunity for people everywhere
and overlook the denial of the right
to vote for millions of our own peo-
ple," the Vice President continued
I'VE cannot offer the blueprints
and skills to rebuild the bombed
out cities of other lands and styInie
any rebuilding of our own cities.
Slums have no place in America
We cannot assist in binding the
wounds of a War-stricken world and
fail to safeguard the health of our
own people We cannot hope to
raise the literacy Of other nations
and fail to roll back the ignorance
that clouds many communities in
many sectors of our own nation.
PRACTICE "FREEDOMS" HERE
Here in Detroit, scene of a recent
race riot, Vice President Wallace
said that many patriotic and for
ward-looking citizens are asking
why not start now practicing these
four freedoms in our own back
yard?' They are right" he eX-
claimed. "A fuller democracy for all
is the lasting preventive of war A
lesser or part-time democracy
breeds the dissension and class con-
flictS that seek their solution in
guns and slaughter"
Wallace declared that the nation
was not confronted with the choice
between an Americanized Fascism
and the restoration of preWar scar
city and unemployment saying that
''too many millions of our people
have come out of the dark cellars
and squalor Of unemployment ever
to go back"
Our choice" Wallace maintain
ed ''is between democracy for
everybody or for the few-between
the spreading of social safeguards
and economic opportunity to all the
people = or the concentration of
our abundant resources in the hands
of selfishnesS and greed"

TEST OF SINCERITY

After many disappointing delays,
the Fair Employment Practices
Committee has finally scheduled
hearings on the justifiable griev-
ances of these Negro trainmen.
They are to be held in Washington
September 1917.
These hearings will be the first
real test of Msgr. Francis j. Haas
promised determination to make
FEPC the effective agency it was
designed to be. The sinister railroad
agreement is certainly a clear-cut
case of discrimination. It Is to be
hoped that the FEPC proves equal
to the challenge to the oft-stated
government employment policy that
it offers.

NO RIGHT TO SHEER

Certainly the management of the
N. G. and st. L. has no right to
sneer at the Axis nations because
of their program of regimenting
and telling workers what they can
and what they cannot do. For the
Axis dictators have no monopoly on
this practice. What is the South
eastern Conference Agreement but
fascist-like regimentation? 1t tells
Negro workers, no matter how well
qualified you are for the job, you
cannot work because of your color.
What difference is there between
this kind of economic repression
and that practiced by Hitler against
the Jews? Maybe the N. c. and St.
l.. will answer that one in their
next American Way advertise
ment.
That a federal statute, the
Railway Labor Act, was mis-
used to bolster this travesty on
economic justice, is one more
reason why it is the solemn
duty of government to step In
and correct the gross discrimi-
nation it fosters.
The big white railway unions, be-
cause they were the majority, were
accorded full bargaining rights for
all railroad workers, thousands of
whom were barred because of color
from membership in the agency
that was supposedly representing
them. These unions, drunk with
their new power under the Railway
Labor Act, Immediately started
plotting against the very workers,
whose interests they were sworn to
protect.

Get Busy AndGet Rid OfYour
Weight; Get Youthful Shape
Slow Up on the Sweets and Cut
Down on Sleep, Miss Jameson Says

The mention of exercise has al
ways brought on chills and fevers.
She's a cushion girl She doesn't
like to move about briskly because
she has SO much flesh to carry
with her. Well, something has to
be done about that. Unless she re-
strictS fat-producing foods and gets
a swift move On her, she is not 60
ing to get any simmer.
A good way for her to delete inch
er is to get out in her victory gar
den, dig and noe and weed and
sweat. She can sweat off weight.
The bending of the body will tight
en- slack abdominal muscles. She
must remember to bend at the hip
hinges, not at the waist line. If
she has to walk back and forth to
her garden, SO much the better. She
should walk briskly if any good
is to come from this exercise. Saun-
tering does nothing in the way of
figure conditioning.
CUT DOWN SLEEP
If she is in the habit of getting
up late in the morning, that must
be stopped. 1t is during sleep that
fat cells multiply Seven hours
sleep are enough for any adult.
Reducing is a matter of determi-
nation. BY deleting fat-producing
food elements and exercising in
moderation, woman can take off
five to eight pounds a month, and
that's fast enough. Rapid reducing
is a health menace. 1t beckonS
wrinkles to come and take possess
sion of the facial premises.
If you are a heavyweight, stop
your hawling. Get busy; be rid of
your surplus weight, regain the
youthful shape.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1943-08-14
SLOW UP SWEETS

If she is to cut a pretty figure
she must slow up on sweets and
starches. Uncle Sam is seeing to it
that she is cutting down on fats. A
little will power, and the trick can
be turned. She must live on lean
meats, vegetables, fish, poultry,
fresh fruits. No potatoes, cereals,
macaroni, pastries. Rye toast must
take the place of buttered white
bread. Cottage cheese and butter
milk are her good friends.
