Urges Fuller Use

CLEVELAND. (ANP) - Negroes
form the largest single minority
group not yet fully utilized in war
production. according to the War
Manpower's commissions regional
director, Robert c. Goodwin.
The stern necessity Of war has
decreed that racial prejudices be
set aside" he said.
The first responsibility falls upon
the employer who may not have
been making the fullest use Of Ne

said.
Americas fighting men. facing
Jap snipers in the far Pacific. or
blasting German submarines In the
Atlantic, do not ask the color Of
the men who produced the weap-
ons with which they fight They
only ask that these weapons be
supplied in sufficient quantity -
and on time.
Too little. too late, means lives

Don't TraueL
Week en- d S
Owl Warns

Weekend pleasure travel by in
ter-city train and bus is practically
eliminated for the duration. the
Office OF War Information observed
recently-not only because such
travel interferes with war transport
and crowds soldiers on leave. but
also because, the way things are,
it isn't going TO be a pleasure.
Daytime jaunts to nearby beach
es. parks, hiking trails and other
Fairgrounds will be the best way
to snatch a few hours OF relaxa-
ton. as long as pleasure-seekers
choose a non-criticsl type Of trans
portstion. Travel via streetcar, sub
way or suburban bus during nom
rush hours is permissible. Excursion
boats in some areas also may be
used for a days outing.
Railroad and inter-city compan-
les are in agreement that weekend
pleasure travel should be elmin-
ated. Their service in carrying
the essential traffic OF the war un-
der great difficulties has won Off
cial recognition. Many OF them
are stating publicly their realiza-
ton that such traffic comes ahead
Of everything else. Contrary to
their peaeetime practice OF adver-
Using the lure OF recreationsl spots
for Americas usual millions OF
weekend and holiday travellers,
they, as we'll as the Office OF De-
Tense Transportation, are urging
civilians to stay at home over week
ENDS, particularly those connected
with holidays. such as the Fourth

RUSSIAN RELATIONS IMPROVE


RUSSIAN RELATIONS IMPROVE
The diplomatic grapevine reports
that inter-Allied relations with Rus
sia are going pretty well now. This
is certainly true on the surface, and
while some irritations have occurred
below the surface, both sides have
shown a real tendency to try to get
along.
Most serious sub-surface irritation
was over the Mediterranean Council,
through which Russia, the United
States and Britain were to confer re-
garding Italy, North Africa and the
Balkans.
The Russians, snubbed earlier in
the summer regarding preliminary
italian armistice terms, took the
Mediterranean Council seriously and
appointed as their representative An
drei Vishinski, the famous prosecutor
in the Russian purge trials. This
was the equivalent of sending the
most outstanding member of the
U. S. Supreme court or the leading
lawyer of England.
ViShinSki is a man of national
stature, capable of making Mediter-
ranean decisions without consulting
Moscow. But to represent the Unit
ed States on the Mediterranean
Council, Secretary Hull sent Ed Will
son, U. S. ambassador to Panama.
Wilson is a thorough-going, compe-
tent diplomat who can handle any
routine job and handle it well. But
almost no one outside diplomacy or
Panama has heard of him. He has
no national stature and he cannot act
on his own.
Immediately it developed that Will
son was to act as glorified mes
senger and report everything back
to Washington. The British repre-
sentative was to do the same. In
other words, Churchill and Roose-
welt were to make the decisions, and
the much publicized Mediterranean
Council was to be a mere reporting
agency.
This Immediately reused Russian
wrath. They had welcomed the
Council, appointed a top man. So
for moment they considered with
drawing. However, for the sake of
Allied harmony, they stayed on and
are giving the Mediterranean Coun-
Gil a trial.
