ave are gradually closing the
gap in differentials in education
without stopping the flow of pro-
gress," asserted DR.. E. B. Norton,
state Superintendent, before the
county teachers IN session Saturday
at Parker High school.
DR.. Norton explained the States
policy on equalization as to "eq,la-
lize by pulling UP the lower levels
and extending the standards al.
ready in process
He said the States inclincticn
was to use mere of the new
money! received for equalization
purposes and implied that without
federal aid educational opportunl-
ties between the Negro ard white
groups in Allah anna could not be
properly adjusted.
In DR.. Norton's attempt to show
other than racial differentials in
Alabama, he fell INTO a confusion OF
facts. He pointed out the inequali-
ties as between urban and rural
education, between sections North
and South, but he did not once call
attention to the fact that the Negro
suffers with the white group. in
both examples, and also in q special
way as the result of his race and
color Racial discrimination is dis
elimination within all the other
forms of determinations.
He indicated that the state is
"allccoting" more money to be put
into the salaries Of Negro teachers
and quoted figures to fortify his
Point. It is one thing to allocate
and entirely another to realize.
cannot challenge the observation,
but it would be we'll for somebody
to track down the Allegations.
DR.. Norton traced differentials to
secouonSc" not racial factors.
He cited statistics on per capita
income. That is true only to the
extent that where there is not
enough to go around, the more
powerful will grab more than his
proper share. Discrimination does
not create resources. rather it des-
troys the most precious. the human
being
"Ory through new money can we
extend equality of education to ALL

was brought out, was occurring in
the face of sharp demands by the
railroads for more manpoWer to
meet the pressing demands Of var
time traffic.
A great deal of reluctance existed
somewhere between the FEPC and
the Office of War Information with
regard to the amount of information
that ought to be released with re-
gard to the findings in the cases
heard. Something of a minor bat
tie actually ragged in owl on the
matter.
In spite of this attempt to clamp
down, additional facts regarding the
hearings were obtained by the
Associated Negro Press.
Regarding the southeastern
agreement, the FEPC directed that
any agreement entered into be-
tween the railroads and the broth
erhood, in lieu of the denounced
one, shall contain no provisions or
terms discriminating against any
employee or applicant for employ
ment because of race, creed, color
or national origin
ADJUST PRACTICES
The commmittee told the various
offenders to adjust the employ
ment policy and practices so that
all needed workers shall be hired
and all company employees shall
be promoted or upgraded without
regard to race, creed, color or nat
ional origin" as set forth in
Executive Order 1886.
The committee could find no
justification In the argument of
the carriers that public resentment
would prohibit advancement of Ne
groes in certain jobs, or their hire
for that matter.
"It will scarcely do to point to
social conditions, traditions or US
ages in attempting to answer such
questions for the duties of these
employees involve no mingling with
the public on terms of social equali-
ty," the ruling said. Further, the
public all over the south has been
accustomed to Negroes filling these
positions since the beginning Of
the company's existence"
On the Pennsylvania and the New
York Central, question arose over
the matter of promotions to ste
Wardships. The committee declared
that no question involving super
vision OF white men by Negro
can arise because steward super
vises nobody except Negroes"
In those instances where Negroes
were being refused employment OF
promotion because Of race In GER
tain categories, companies were
ordered to instruct personnel off,
GERS to accept, and public employ
ment Offices to refer, workers fol
all classifications of work or train
ing solely on the basis of their
qualifications without regard tc
their race or color"

standards already established.
This is the theory of perpetual

I did rot hear all of the speech
but I caught its main thesis and

more for education than has been

the deafening explosion Of raining
bombs. Davis remarked didn't the

Then 1t came, one numbering

we joined Farrell.
Later in the morning the Intel
ligence report revealed that tour
bombs had been dropped by lone
enemy bomber, but they had fallen
in the sea. In the heels of the an
nouncement came the alert again.
This time it was a squadron OF
enemy fighters flying out of the
North. In Information they were
miles high and flying in one body.
The 38s were there to extend greet
ing and the fight was on.
It was a beautiful morning,
beaming sun and huge fieecy clouds.
One Zero peeled off of the forma-
ton and ducked into cloud. The
whole formation broke and the
planes paired off. A Lightning fol-
lowed the Zero. The enemy was
easily distinguishable, single
fuselage and silver against the
sky. The Lightning came out first,
banked, and went in again. We
couldn't see them but we heard the
sputtering cannon fire.

10 railroads.
SINISTER DESIGNS SEEN
The agreement, the FEPC ruled,
Is designed for no other purpose
than to cut down the employment
of Negroes as fremen and to in
crease the hiring of whites in these
positions. The agreement seeks to
accomplish this, Malcolm Ross,
chairman of FEPC said, through
setting definite percentages for
white and Negro f1remen; through
limiting firemen's jobs to pro
notable men," and then by exclud-
ing all Negro workers from pro-
motion.
Testimony at the hearings point
ed to steady decline in the num-
Der of Negroes employed in all but
the lowest categories during the
past 20 years. This decline, it

Worthwhile Definite Threat
After Defeating Belleville

In beating Belleville 1922, North
vile High School became a def
mite Area tournament threat in
the Glass b division.
This was only the third time
Belleville had been defeated in the
regular season OF IS games, and as
may be assumed from the score,
was one OF their worst setbacks OF
the season.
Throughout the first half, the
game was fairly close, for at the
beginning of the third quarter,
Worthwhile could claim but three
points lead, but in the final half,
the Worthwhile team really began TO
roll. The score that was 1914 at
the half had reached 26.lS by the
end OF the third quarter. The final
period was no less devastating as
Worthwhile gained another six points
to make the final tally 1922.
Center Frank Hunter led the vic.
tors With thirteen points which he
collected on seven field goals in
nine attempts, and Gene Netzel
was also high with four baskets
and two free throws for ten points.
Hunter was undoubtedly the out
standing performer for the game,
for though he started at center, ne
played both forward and guard po-
sitions, with devastating results for
the opposition, Ne dribbles eXceD-
tionally well, something that very
few centers can do, but he pos
sesses all OF the other Characters
tics that go to make up a good cen.
ter.
For Belleville, Ed Gillinski bare
ly eked out high point honors with
six markers on two baskets and as
many charity losses. Earl Drake
was second with FIVE, and Dick
Hook followed with four.
Most OF the Worthwhile players
are veterans OF year or more of
varsity basketball, and all OF them
possess such a high degree of shoot
ing and passing accuracy that they
may win the Area finals tonight,
hands down.
One OF the outstanding entertain
ments OF the game was a Bellevi1le
cheer leader in the person of Danny
Larsen. Danny Is eight years old
and in the second grade in Belle
vile. His parents claim that since
he was two years old, he has been
