street cars, buses and taxicabs can

1. Shop now. Mail now. Do
not wait until the eleventh hour"
2. Ride the buses and street cars
during off-peak hours. between
10 am. and 4 pm. Transit facilIt-
les are crowded in the morning and
evening with workers.
3. Move back in street cars and
buses. Make room for others.
4. Have exact fares ready il
possible. This will speed up sew
ice.
5. Queue UP for orderly board
ing of buses and street cars.
6. Use taxis only when necas-

MRS. BETHUNE PRAISES OUR
BOYS FIGHT FOR FOUR
FREEDOMS

Washington, Dec. 9 amp Praise
for the contribution Negro fight
ing men are making for the pres
ervation of t hefour freedoms was
voiced by DR.. Mary Mcleod Beth
une. president Of the National
Council of Negro women, last Sun
day. She was one of three guest
speakers at the Thanksgiving din
ner given for wounded soldiers and
sailors by the Equestriennes, a
club of government girls, at the
Lucy Diggs Stowe Hall.
I'VE women want to do all We
can to help that your pathway is
as smooth as possible" she told
the servicemen who listened intent
ly. Whatever happens to that
body" she added, I'VE know that
the soul is eternally at rest"
My prayers are for you, my
work. my fight. Be honored and
be proud Of the contribution you
are making for the four freedms."
William H. HASTE. former civil
ian aide to the secretary Of War
and Major Harriet West, Women's
Army Corps, we're the other two
speakers.
HASTE gave the lie to the "25
year-old' story that Negroes in
World War 1 were a failure. He
described the story as an attempt
to discredit Negro fighting men.
He told of the responsibility
which all will face in helping the
men of the armed forces to return
to CIVILIAN life and full employment
after the war. ~Selective service,
he said. will have to carry much Of
the burden but it will remain for
many others TO help in the trans
ition.
The Equestriennes originally or
ganized as a riding club with I
membership of nine government
girls. have turned their attention
to entertaining soldiers at the Wal
ter Reed hospital and sailors at
the naval hospital at Bethesda. Md
Each Sunday they take smokes,
candy and newspapers TO them and

Smith Committee
Launches Attack on
Order
Banning Discrimination

OC1 y A14N4 "a
new attack upon President Roose-
velt's executive order banning race
discrimination and the effective
ness Of the FEPC was launched
last Monday by the Smith commit
tee Of the house in a report which
stated that all anti-discrimination
clauses in public contracts should
be prohibited by law.
The report, which mentioned
neither the FEPC nor the execut-
i've order by name, declared that
any such contractural provisions
must come only after laws to that
effect had been enacted by congress
and that no government agency
Lad any authority on its own tc
insert such clauses.
Head of the committee is Rep.
Howard Smith, Virginia Democrat.
Other members are Reps. Hugh
Peterson, Georgia; John ]. Delaa-
'ey, New York, and Jerry Voorh.s,
California Democrats and Reps.
Clare Hoffman, Michigan; John
Jennings, Tenn, and Fred Hartley,
New Jersey Republicans.
Several federal agencies were at
tackled in the report and the Fed
eral Surplus Commodities Corp.
was specifically condemned for in
sisting that dairy companies which
sell to Uncle Sam include anti-dis-
elimination clauses in their con-
tracts. This is the same commit
tee which also took potshots at the
OPA for seeking to enforce price
ceilings on meat.
Said the committee report after
citing the regulation anti-discrim-i
ination clause in surplus commod-
tiles contracts:
Congress has never enacted such
a law and, however Iaudable its
purpose may be, no government a
gency has been authorized by leg
islation to impose such a condition
1.-The subsidy program, the lend
lease, as well as the needs Of u
armed forces, were never intended
by congress to be used as a subteT-
fuge to impose legislation upon
the country which congress had
failed or refused to enact.
ANY effort to use subsidies, lend
lease funds or other appropriations
for any such purpose should be
prohibited by law"
Although the Roosevelt execut-
i've order was not mentioned by
name. the report condemned ~ur-
authorized executive ~directlves
which are bound, sooner or Later.
to fall of their own weight"
Seeking to justify its stand, the
report continued:
Progress in the interest Of The
common people of America will
not be made if devious or uncon-
s%titutional methods, or methods
o authorized by congress, are
used to bring about such progress.
Sooner or later, the whole has
is of such action will be swept a
way and the net result will be Joss
rather than gain for the peoples
cause.
Some members Of the commit
tee are opposed to discrimination
regarding employent and are strong
in their support Of all the provis-
ions of the wages and hours act.
However, the members Of this
committee are unanimous in their
conviction that neither the object
ives Of the wages and hour act nor
the prevention of discrimination
can be accomplished by the device
Of making subsidy payments con
ditional upon what amounts 10 the
writing OF new laws by an execu-
tive agency"
