E. x. S.: My husband and 1
adopted a boy when he was small
and now he's 10 years old. He is
acting cold and insulting toward US.
He doesn't want to do anything at
all around home and treats us as
strangers. What must we do?
Ans: Your adopted son is grown
now and has a mind of his own.
You can't continue to treat him as
a child. Stop burdening him with
childish "hOme chores" Instead of
picking at him and nagging him
like he was a school boy change
your tactics and deal with him as
you would a man. He needs a par
ent's love and guidance now more
than ever to help him prepare for
and find his rightful place in the
world. Help him plan his future
now and you will be well repaid in
later years.
H. M: I have been going with
a young man for some time and he
says that he loves me and wants to
marry me. There are two other
women he is fooling around with,
one lives in our town. He tells me
one thing and tells her another.
Tells her he doesn't love me. Is he
just playing around with them for
the fun of it?
Ans: Yes, and you, too. He's
just another man about town" and
has no intention of carrying anyone
of you three to the altar. If it's a
husband you're seeking, you're
wasting your time for this fellow
is having too much fun to tie him.

came home to mother and the doc
tor said I could return to my hus-
band two months after the baby

the time, gives US money but he
hasn't carried us back to his home.
His mother hasn't been to see the
baby yet but she did send me a
chicken one Sunday for dinner. Does
she like the baby?
Ans: She lives you and the baby
but she feels the time has come fol
her son to make a separate home
for his wife and child. She accepted
you in her home until time for the
baby to arrive. If she continued to
accept his burden, she realizes that
it would make him slow to accept
his responsibility. You and your
husband must make your plans to

Bv CHARLES ALIEN

it is concluded that the paragraph
of Executive Order No. 9346 in
volving the inclusion in govern
ment contracts of provision obi
eating the contractor not to dis
criminate against any employee or
applicant for employment because
of race, creed, color, or national
origin, and requiring him to include
a like provision in sub-contracts,
was intended only as a directive to
the contracting agencies of the
government, so that FAILURE TO
INCLUDE SUCH A PROVISION
WILL NOT RENDER VOID an
otherwise proper contract or REM
DER OBJECTIONABLE otherwise
proper payments Hereunder"
Clause Never Tested
This will no doubt be construed
as an open invitation to war con-
tractors to disregard the executive
order, not only in the negotiation
of a contract, but in adherence to
such clause in contracts already
negotiated, or even to the very
principle of non-discrimination.
Though the non-discrimination
clause in these contracts had never
been tested, there was always the
possibility that FEPC might call
upon a government agency to with
hold payment from a contractor
who violated the clause. This threat
was the only sanction the FEPC
seemed to possess to get it's orders
and directives enforced. Warren's
ruling, if allowed to stand, will re-
duce the FEPC to mere fact-find-
ing agency and laughing stock
to employers.
Negroes are anxious to learn
from the President just what he
did mean. They want to know
whether Warren has spoken the
Presidents mind or broken the
Presidents good faith!

employers who put their prejudices
ahead of the war effort and refuse
to contract with the government for
necessary war services, unless the
non-discrimination clause is re-
moved, are to be appeased by re-
moving the clause-and he, War
rem, will authorize payment of gov
eminent funds under such contracts,
the orders of the President to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Nine days after this ruling was
made on October z, the Director Of
the Division of Central Administra-
tive Services, on October 16, sent
a directive to his field agents in
forming them of it. Contracts have
already been negotiated with the
clause excluded.
But this is not a feud between
the Comptroller General and the
President. It has more of the ear
marks of teamwork between the
Comptroller General and the assis-
tant president, James Byrnes, direc-
tor of the Office of War Mobiliza-
ton and former Senator from South
Carolina prior to becoming an as
sociate justice of the Supreme
Court. Byrnes is the South's white
hope" The southern bloc is groom
ing him as candidate for the presi-
dency.
White House Knew Nothing
It was Byrnes, in his capacity
of liaison officer of the Office for
Emergency Management in the ex-
ecutive office of the President, who
asked for the ruling from Warren.
And despite the fact that Byrnes
practically sits on the Presidents
knee, Stephen Early, press secre-
tary of the President, said the
White House knew nothing of the
ruling as of last Wednesday-three
weeks after it was issued.
The occasion for the ruling was
the refusal of the Southwestern Bell
Telephone Company of Kansas City,
Mo-, to furnish telephone service
to the federal government in Kan
sas City if the contract for such
war service carried the non-dis-
elimination clause ordered by the
President. Byrnes wrote Warren
saying the DEM wanted to know
whether the Comptroller General
would authorize payments under

were left out.
Warren said yes, of course he

Hidden From FEPC

But neither Warren nor Byrnes
thought the matter important
enough to confer with the FEPC,
or even to advise the committee of
the action afterwards. The COM
mittee learned of the ruling from
another government agency almost
three weeks after it was issued.
The ruling was dated October z,
1913 - the same day on which
Monsignor Francis ]. Haas re-
signed as chairman of the FEPC
to become Bishop of Grand Rapids,
Mich. The coincidence of these
dates, and Haas leaving before the
very important Railroad discrimi-
nation case decision was reached,
have caused some eyebrow rails
ing"
The matter was not a hidden Sc
cret to the industrialists, however.
Almost a week before the FEPC
had heard of the ruling, the full
text was published in the Labor
News - reactionary paper pub
lished for management to tell them
how to handle labor. Labor News
is put out by the same group which
edits the United States News -
David Lawrence and his crowd.
The text of the ruling concludes
with this statement: Accordingly,
