Union, told the launching wit
nesses:
Or. Carver's successes were due
to his simplicity and his closeness
to God. Even in defining the issues
of the great struggle in which
this ship is destined to participate,
his approach was simple and dl-
rect. Let us hope that the SIS
George Washington Carver Will
play it's part in bringing to this
world the peace for which the life
of this great man was dedicated.
An attorney, Walter A. Gordon
of the National Association Tor

pie. closed the program with:
"It is significant and appropriate
that we honor George Washington
Carver at this time. His life ex-
emplifies the possibilities of a
Democracy. This Liberty Ship rep
resents q unity of effort-a contri-
button to the cause Of freedom. Tt
is a tribute to an educator, scholar,
scientist, humanitarian, Christian
and a distinguished American"
The celebration began earlier in
the day when Miss Horne and her
aunt, Mrs. Edwin King Of Los
Angeles, arrived from Los An
geles and were honored with a
breakfast at the Athens Club by
the United Negro Labor Commit
tee. The whirlWind bond rally at
the shipyards followed and the

QUESTIONABLE REMEDY
Price Administrator Prentiss M

are practically out of control
promises to roll back out of hand
tant commodities and bring viola
tors of price ceiling to justice.
But there still remains the
moot question whether or not
this would remedy the Situa-
ton. Judging from past actions
of the OPA it would not. For
example the action of the OPA
in freezing restaurant prices,
came not before the prices had
scared heavenward, but after
ward. The prices were merely
frozen to their already inflated
levels. Nothing was done to
push back to normal extortion-
list prices charged by many UNI
scrupulous cafe operators.
THE Little Steel formula" was
adopted ostensibly to ward off the
threatened evil of initiation. But
certainly our government econo-
mists know that wages is not the
only door through which initiation
may enter. Unless these other
doors of sky-rocketing food prices.
OF increased service charges and
mounting professional fees are also
held IN line we have lost the bat
tie against initiation.

not compare SO favorably with the

The most striking thing about
this unjust price squeeze is the
fact that the greatest increase

and inspected the nerve center or

line and saw the colored soldiers
as they put up a fight to halt
the advancing foe They saw color

Negro soldiers laying telephone
wires, driving jeeps and trucks. All
in all, they saw a fine 93rd Division
