At the national headquarters

in commenting ON the race riot
in the Pinto Island Shipyards in
Mobile, Alabama, because Negro
welders were being put on the job

Negroes should demand that Pres

shameful exhibition of racial pre-
judice and order the Federal
Army to protect Negro workers
on the Jobs, and that no Negro
worker should fail to stay on the
job in the Mobile shipyards. For
IL Negroes can be run off jobs in

racial ofgots get away with it,
Negro workers will not be secure
on any job any where, continued
Mr.. Randolph.

have been reversed and given to

The President stressed agar
That the support of all citizens

quently be shunted off to some
Jim Crow hotel and the remain
der of his entertainment left to
members of his own race.
But President Roosevelt made it
perfectly clear, on Barclays ar
rival, that he was to be treated
with all the dignity and respect
accorded any visiting head of an
other state.
The President, members of the
Cabinet and representatives of all
the armed forces staged the usual
welcoming ceremony on the White
House lawn. In the evening. the
President held a stag dinner party
in Barclays honor. And after
wards, Barclay and the Liberian
president-eleet, W. V, Tubman,
who accompanied him, stayed at
the White House as overnight
guests. while the rest of their
party moved into historic Blair
House.
Despite the CONSERVATION which
Barclays visit repeatedly caused
in certain quarters of the State
Department Secretary Hull
gave a dinner for Barclay.
Furthermore, for the first time
m history, five Negro reporters
and a photographer, shepherded
by Ted Poston, OWL expert on
Negro affairs, were granted tenn
porary press passes admitting
them to the White House grounds
for the welcoming ceremony.
Also for the first time in his
tory, the same group of Negro
newspaper men were admitted to
the press gallery today to cover
President Barclays speech before
the House of Representatives.

was owned by Montgomery blair,

This year" says President Har-
ris, we are concentrating on get
ting aid for as many students as
possible. When the war is over
we know that there will be thou
sands of students who desire fin
ancial assistance to carry on their
education where they left it, when
they entered the service of their
country. With the aid Of the Stu
dent Loan they will be able to
graduate from college, and have
their rightful four years Of high
or education.
The Student Loan in the past
~ years of its existence has made
available almost s10,000,000 to
over $4,000 students. The Fund rs
a revolving one, in that it loans,
the student repays the loan, and
it Is Immediately reloaned to an
other student. Through this meth
ed, many young people receive an
education, who otherwise would
not have the opportunity to do
SO.

stayed alright, but not at the

greet came from our good friend,
Travis Ferguson, 8l2 Cross, his
regrets were that he had to leave
before it was over, but everybody
figured Travis had his moneys
worth, for instead fseeing four

the same money and insisted on
seeing more. $40. More regrets
came from Bette Ingram, go IL
