He estimated that there are .

Elmer Davis was disclosed today
10 have told the Senate Appropria-
tlons Committee he had no infor-
nation to indicate that the distribu-
ton Of An once Of War Informa-
ton. pamphlet contributed to the
Detroit race riot.
The pamphlet, entitled Negroes
In the War" was distributed
by Owl among colored persons
throughout the Nation, Mr.. Davis
asserted, to combat Japanese propa-
eanda.
The committee made public the
testimony today As funds for Owls
domestic branch were tied up in
conference committee.
How largely was this distribution
ID the Detroit area prior to the race
riots the other day?" asked Senator
Nye, Republican, Of North Dakota.
No Complaints.
"A good deal Of 1t, SIR" Mr.. Davis
replied.
Have you had some complaints
that this contributed to that very
unfortunate situation there?"
mo STR" said Mr.. Davis.
II have had IS anonymous con-
tentions of that kind" Senator Nye
told the director of Owl. Il do not
pay much consideration to anony-
NOUS letters or telephone calls, but
in this instance, having acquainted
myself with the contents of this. I
could not help but be aware OF the
fact that people were insisting that
this had played a part in stirring up
the strife that prevailed in Detroit"
The pamphlet, Senator Nye as
serted. represented the New Deal in
"the most favorable kind of light to
the Negro people" and quoted from
q New York speech by Vice Presi-
dent Wallace, The peoples revolu-
ton is on the march and the devil
and all his angels could not prevail
against it,"
Counterpropaganda.
At another point Senator Nye
read from the pamphlet: Since the
advent Of the New Deal the phrase
social security has rung like
pleasant bell In the ears Of Ameri-
can Negroes"
Mr.. Davis said there had been "a
great deal of enemy propaganda,
particularly Japanese propaganda,
among the Negroes" and added:
I'VE had evidence from Chicago,
Detroit and New York that thev
were circulating a story around
among them. This enemy propa-
ganda asked, What have the Ne
groes got to lose? What is their
interest in American victory?'
THE whole point of this pamphlet
was to show that they are better
OF under our form of government
and our structure Of society than
they would be anywhere else" He
quoted New York Herald Tribune
editorial commencing the pamphlet.

High Quotas Reported
For Farm Machinery

~ the Associated Press.
Congressional farm leaders said
today new agricultural machinery
quotas for 1914, soon to be an
nounced by the War Production
Board, would range up to $50 per
cent of peactime normal.
Some types of implements, how
ever, will be limited to lesser guam
titles, down to IS per cent for Ger
tain types Of cultivators. The over
all allowance will be about so per
cent Of the 1904 production and
purchases.
These equipment allotments were
reported: Wagon and truck boxes,
II per cent of normal; sleighs, $50
per cent; hand and windmill pumps
IS per cent; Jewelers. and scrapers,
IS per cent; milking machines, 60
per cent; horse shoes, 107 per cent;
tractors, II to 81 per cent, depend
Ing on horsepower
While more than double the 1943
allotment. the 1914 tractor quota of
1929 Of all types was described
as being 24,729 below estimated
minimum requirements of county
boards and $4,000 below 1904
production and sales.
Equipment quotas for the current
crop year were about 40 per cent
OF normal and only part Of the
allotment was available when the
planting season started. Farm
spokesmen in Congress claim actual
needs for this year and next are

II know that the Farm Security
employees are a very earnest and en-

make mistakes q little more often
than those who are less energetic

accomplish a lot more. Most 81 the
charges against the FSA, upon in
vestigation, have either proven to
be false or inconsequential."
FSA should be a separate agency
and should provide both supervision
and credit, he said, adding that

there should be frant recognition Of
the necessity Of attacking rural pow

Report Red Cross
Spreads Jim Crow
In North Africa
(From Afro-American)

Washington-The American Red
Cross is spreading the doctrine of
racial segregation among North
Africans, the AFRO learned this
week.
Persons returning from the
battle-torn areas reported that the
Red Cross insists on setting up jim
crow canteens and recreational
facilities while befuddled natives
wonder what it is all about.
When queried by the AFRO, a
Red Cross official said: eve do not
set up separate units. Of course,
there are certain sections where
there are large concentrations of
colored troops and these centers
are usually referred to as 'colored
centers'."
However, persons returning from
England and North Africa tell a
different story.
One said that regardless of what
officials say over here, '"The Red
Cross does preach and try to prac-
tice Jim crowism over there"
He also cited many instances
where soldiers returning from en-
counters with the enemy "were
told that the 'colored canteen was
just over there" or were treated
in such a manner that they knew
that they were out of place."
White Soldiers Tales
The AFRO AMERICAN has
long heard reports of how the
American colored soldiers are in
troduced to natives by their white
countrymen.
One of the most exciting stories
came out of theatre of operation
where many of our boys are sta
toned with no other social COM
partnership than the beautiful In
dian women"
"For a long time the women
seemed afraid of u.s." a soldier told
the AFRO. eve could not under
stand it. Finally one of them told
US that the white soldiers told them
that if they bothered with US they
would have babies with tails on
them"
The soldier then produced a pic
ture from his pocket and said,
"Those children don't have any
tails on them, do they?"
Our Boys Called Wild
Another fantastic tale comes
from Hawaii. when we arrived
in Hawaii the women treated us
very coldly," a soldier stated. "They
say that they were told that we
were wild and dangerous"
Soldiers from the Southwest
Pacific have told similar stories.
The natives were told that colored
soldiers were slaves, etc.
what individuals say matters
very little" the AFRO informant
stated, eff our boys are given a
few minutes to talk-they have a
way of getting their points over
and making friends. They can ex-
plain to the natives that they are
free American citizens"

spirit prompted the loan Of four of
its members to John Culver, cap
tain of Team 16 in an effort to
maintain the reputation held by
Team 16 over a period of several
years in the Community Chest Cam
paign. The teams goal is 1914.
Workers of former years are
urged to work in the campaign this
year. Cooperation seems to be the
keynote in this seasons campaign.
All the churches in the district are
making individual church reports.
John Culver asks that those who
have not been contacted by solicit
tor please call him at Halle @.
Brown House and he will arrange
to send a solicitor to you. This,
he believes, is a civic duty as well
as a privilege. "How fortunate we
are that we still can support our
private and public agencies because
we want to and not because we are
forced to-"
Johnnie Pettiford came through
with flying colors on his first day
