meeting at Bethel AME church.
Thursday night. Although the
plans for expansion also call for
condemnation of property in near
by white communities. Negroes at
the mass meeting interpreted the
program as a direct method OF con-
fiscating valuable Negro owned
property and also move TO push
Negroes further back from the city's
congested center.
The area chosen for immediate
condemnation includes two blocks
living between Farnsworth and
Theodore. and Beaubien and Has
tings. and a third block bounded
by Frederick. St Antoine. Farms
worth and Beaubien. In this area
approximately 10000 Negroes live
in semi-slum dwellings: nearly q
hundred businesses are located and
five of the city's leading Negro
churches are established and re-
Gently cleared Of Indebtedness.
The expansion plan Is viewed
with alarm by property owners.
while many residents of the COM
munity see in the program the pos
sibility Of Negroes escaping from
this ghetto-like congestion and also
possibility Of breaking down re-
strictive covenants which prohibit
Negroes from living in certain
areas. A few real estate men voiced
the opinion that at is the best thing
that could happen to Negroes in
Detroit We have been crying for
better housing and this provides an
opportunity to demand the opening

effected even before razing of prop.

INSIDE ITALY
By SGT. JAMES SANDERS

South Parkway, and hundred side
streets OF the land Of the free, can't
help feel a lump in our throats
for homeless, unclothed. hungry
women and children; for men
whose Roman heart Is the only
thing that carries them on-that
and the hope that the American
way will be the dynamic that will
restore their beloved land TO its
rightful place in the corporation
OF free people. 1885 and the rape
Of Ethiopia is as some frightful
nightmare that happened in a dead
yesterday. This thing is bigger:
upon il depends the destiny OF all
WE love and hold dear 10 our
hearts. Before what has happened
here and in other countries inside
Europe happens 10 you, Lii Orchid
Face. / and the thousands OF Yanks
over here will see our blood turn
the turquoise blue OF the Mediter-
ranean into a sea OF scarlet.
Whatever the faults Of these
people might be; whatever might
be their tumultous history; what
ever might be their ideology in
waving the banner OF democracy.

Bargaining Power With Labor Holds Negro Future
MOST HOPEFUL
SIGN IN SOUTH.
SAYS JOHNSON

The greatest hope for the Negro
In the postwar world is the use of
his bargaining power with labor,
according to DR.. Charles S. John
son. director Of the Department OF
Social Sciences at Fisk university,
who spoke to large audience at
Plymouth Congregational church
last Sunday night. Great popula-
tion shifts from rural to urban areas
during the years from l940-l943
have resulted in increasing tensions
between the races. DR.. johnson
stated that 100000 Negroes have
taken part in this population shift
and OF this number $1,000 Negroes
have come into Chicago, 10000 into
Washington. $4,000 into Baltimore,
and 10000 into Los Angeles.
DR.. johnson devoted a great part
OF his address to listing positive
steps which have been taken in the
field OF race relations He noted that
n cities in the South now have Ne
gro policemen on their forces; that
III inter-racial commissions are in
existence all over the country, 46
OF which were officially appointed.
There are II Negroes serving on
housing authorities in the South to-
day. an unheard of situation ten
years ago. DR.. johnson said.
Hopeful Sign
The role Of organized labor in the
South has been the most hopeful
sign there according to the speaker.
There are 10000 Negroes in the
ALL in the South today and an
even larger number in CIO unions
= Approximately a half Of the 10000
members OF the Southern Tenant
Farmers union are Negro. Coop
erativeS set up under the Farm Sc
curity Administration have proved
. definite step forward in race rela-
tons DR.. johnson said Throughout
the country there are 5000 ClO
members serving on commissions OF
one kind or another where they cx-
ercise definite influence for equal
treatment Of Negroes.
Dr. Johnson emphasized the fact
that the South must improve It's
race relations before the nation al
large will be able 10 make much
Improvement. Until this happens
Northern cities Will probably bor-
row Southern patterns OF race rcla-
tons 10 cope with their growing
tensions Change in the prescn,
Southern set-up will be a slow pro-
cess and legislation or presidential
edict alone will not be able TO bring
It about Although this il true the
Negro must continue 10 press his
case for equal opportunities
More Tolerant
DR.. Johnson advanced the idea
that the Negro must make himself
more -tolerable" but not humble,
In order TO be more acceptable as
an individual. In answer 10 a ques-
ton DR.. Johnson praised the role Of
IL, Negro press which has kept the
N, gro acquainted with the facts on
many issues. has increased his lit
eracy and has made him aware OF
the problems OF other races and
groups throughout the world. =
After the lecture the Fisk cl1b OF
Detroi' was host at reception for
DR.. Johnson in the club rooms OF
the church. Copies OF DR. Johnson's

Dear Lii Orchid Face:
This is the 98th week o. Y. S.
participation in World War II. and
the 62nd day Of Allied occupation
OF the Italian mainland. This. Lii
Orchid Face. is not page from an
invasion journal; nor is il tale OF
heroics and nobility: but rather the
first impressions of Yank in war
torn Europe. II is hard TO believe
that here was once the seat OF world
politics and the home Of the
worlds greatest armies: that here
was once the acme Of art and cul-
ture: that even now il is the cradle
Of great Christian creed. But
when one sees first-hand a beleag-
ured and battered Italy--yet an
Italy in whose breast hope springs
eternal-one has something Of an
idea OF what has happened in other
Nazi occupied countries.
/ have talked with some OF these
native Italians. men who have
spent from two 10 twenty years
in the IT, S. but came back TO their
native land 10 settle down and
spend the last years of their life
in peace. without exception. every
one Of them talk to you with a
tear in their hearts. They want the
goodwill OF America; they want
the war over: they want to see Hit
Ter on the business end OF hang
mans moose. Stories are legend OF
how. before Italy's recapitulation
was officially announced. many OF
them dared Nazi bayonets to give
aid 10 the Allies.

street. and Lenox avenue. and
