born to Mrs. Clara Mack, a 80
year-old domestic, was begun last
week by Mrs. Lula White, execu-

of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Mrs. Mack's charge was leveled
at a white doctor who, she said, at
tended her at the birth of two male
children on April 8. The physician,
the mother declared, became ex-
cited when it was noticed the twins
were Joined together at the hip, and
Immediately proposed that he
would have to carry the children
to Beaumont in order to "save their
lives" through incubator treatment.
Because of the extreme rarity Of
the event, Mrs. Mack declared she
was easily persuaded to turn the
babies over to the doctors care.

was told it would be necessary to
keep them there for some time be-
fore they could be moved.
Since that time, Mrs. Mack al
leges, all kinds of subterfuges have
been used to keep her and her
husband from the children and she
has not seen them since birth. She
said the doctor offered her $1,000
at first and subsequently raised the
amount to $1,000 if she would sign
the children over to him for "scien-
tific purposes"
The mother further reports that
she has exhausted all methods to
secure her children and still was
unable to get them. She exhibited

Writing as a member Of the

letter to President Roosevelt this
week:
eve are very much disturbed by
information that has reached Us
that Secretary Knox has approved
a plan for the recruitment of Negro
Waves which provides for their
training in segregated schools and
makes no provisions for Negro Of
ficers. We are concerned about the
effect on the morale of the Negro
people of the announcement of such
a plan and ask you to take the mat
ter up with Secretary Knox"
The CIO Auxiliary expressed the
hope that the Navy Department
would consider its plan. Although
the plan has received approval
from Secretary Knox, it has not
yet been officially announced pend
ing the results to find Negro Col
lege at which to train the Negro
WAVES. Walter White of the
NAACP sent a telegram to Secre-
tary Knox in which he urged that
"any plan which provides for sep
arate training of Negro Auxiliaries

in Navy or its Auxiliaries be dis
approved"

Philadelphia Labor
Fights Race Riots
With Paper Ads

Philadelphia. - Organized labor
in the Philadelphia sector has gone
all out in an effort to align itself
solidly behind the war effort and
has resorted to the local newspaper
columns with huge display adver-
tisements to assert itself, par
ticularly in regard to such matters
as race riots.
With the slogan "Only a United
America Can Win the War;" and a
striking art layout featuring be-
goggled welder silhouetted against
the background of the Statue of
Liberty superimposed upon the
American flag, compelling ad APP
peared in the Philadelphia daihes
this week.
"Our program was hurt by the
Detroit riot" declares the copy.
Grace riots don't remedy anything.
They hamper production, take lives,
destroy property and demoralize
the American spirit. That's not
the way America was built and
it's not the way America will grow.
Gust saying 1T can't happen
here isn't enough. We 100000
trade unionists, half the families in
Philadelphia, can do more w
must do more"
Four cardinal planks in a plat
form of concrete action are pointed
out:
eve can use common sense and
elaboration instead of listening to
rumors and provoking rash action.
eve can use our trade union
practice Of working together, and
in tackling this problem collectively
through the use of conference and
negotiation.
eve can work on program Of
equality for all Americans which
will provide job opportunities,
equal pay for equal work, decent
housing and adequate recreation.
"America is a great Nation be-
cause it appreciates the worth Of
each individual; because we live
and cooperate together as neigh
bors; because so many widely diff
fering groups and peoples have
made contributions to America.
America will stay great because
there are enough of US who be-
lieve these things and know how to
put them into practice"
Put up and paid for by a COM
bined committee representing the
Philadelphia Central Labor Union
of the American Federation of
Labor, the Philadelphia Industrial
Union Council of the CLIO and the
United Labor Committee, the call
to unity signs off with this pledge:
ave, as leaders of Philadelphia's
trade unions, pledge ourselves to
apply these principles in race re-
lations and call upon all in our
community to join in making De-
mocracy real in Philadelphia"
