HAYES ADVOCATES
POST WAR PLANNING

Negroes of Washington must
have some ideas that should be
brought to light regarding pres
ent and post war planning and
leaders should now begin some
active work on the two major
parties next year. This writer
suggests every section of the
state should be represented in
some kind of a gathering for the
purpose of forming some kind OF
a program for presentation and
consideration. What is the mat
ter with Tacoma, Seattle and Spo-
kane taking the lead? Each OF
these cities certainly should know
some Of the conditions existing,
many of which the war brought
on and some were here before,
and for the most part can be
helped if not entirely changed.
For one, my beef is: We as a
race need city, state and national
representation and the only way
though there may be others
is for every state to have, by
constitutional amendment, Ne

NEGROES DOING GOOD
SERVICE IT IS FOUND

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Ed-
gar T. Rouzeau of The Pitts
burgh Courier, first Negro war
correspondent to be accredited to
American armed forces, was back
in the United States today with
the report that American Negro
troops are perforcing creditably
in the combat theatres.
In his Is months overseas,
Rouzeau travelled $4,000 miles by
air and visited &c countries. He
suffered five attacks of malaria
and one of dysentery, and is now
home for a rest.
Very few Negroes actually are
engaged in combat, Rouzeau said,
but by assignment and not choice.
Some Negroes, he said are re-
signed to the fact that the Army
assigns proportionately few Negro
troops to combat, while others
feel strongly that they should be
permitted to do their share of
lighting.

NEGRO COMMUNIST
ELECTED TO N. Y.
CITY COUNCIL SEAT

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Benjamin
j. Davis, Jr., last week became
the first Negro Communist in
American politics to be elected
to a major political office when
he squeezed under the wire as
one of Manhattan four city
councilmen. Two Democrats and
a Republican were elected with
him.
Coming on the heels of the de-
cisiye triumph of Francis Ellis
Rivers as city court Judge two
weeks ago, which also established
a precedent for Negroes in New
York politics, the significance of
the election of Davis cannot be
minimized. The associate editor
of the Communist newspaper, The
Daily Worker, Davis has been
identified with the party for many
years.
Davis polled ABBA votes. s.
Samuel Di Falco, Democrat, who
polled 42,327 votes, and an in
cumbent, finally conceded fourth
place. in the Manhattan race to
Davis. thus bringing to a conclu-
sion one of the most colorful city
council elections in years.
Davis takes the place of Coun-
Gilman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr..
doughty young Harlem minister,
who has already announced his
intentions to run for congress
next year. Davis is the second
Communist to win election to the
council, the other, Peter B. Cac-
chione 70 Brooklyn, having been
reelected in runaway race.
Known for his ideals and cour-
age, young Davis is considered "a
chip on the old block" his father
having been the National Republi-
can committeeman from Georgia
for many years.
A Communist of long standing,
Davis won tremendous white sup
port to win his city council seat.
