Dear Mrs. Duncan:
The. Negro Art Exhibit was as
you may already know an over
whelming success. Such a project
was undertaken because we were
sure of your interest. 1t took
shape when this interest became
a reality. Thus the exhibit grew
and developed on a larger scale
an aggregate attendance of more
than we had anticipated, having
than s71 persons. Even more i'm
portant than the number who at
tended the exhibit is the con-
structive planning and thinking
that groups are doing, as a re-
suit of having had this matter
Jailed to their attention. This Is
he result of our consclentiou
planning, and working
.ogether.
We are, Of course. proud OF
.hese facts and grateful to you
or your share in the undertake
ng. Realizing the inadeQuacy of
words in expressing our deep ap-
'reciation for your assistance In
making this effort succe
'lease accept our sincere I'VE
hank you"
Yours truly

Your hobby many determine

be of some value.
Those of you, VIII have hob
bies, let it be known at your re
ception center. The Army is now
modernized with special trained
men. Men who have special ap-
titudes, should have it placed in

If you are now draft age, this

branch of the service you enter
is determined by your ability. For
instance, you haven't had much
experience in a particular field
or hobby, but have interest in 1t;
there are schools to train such
persons.
Suppose your hobby is photog-
raphy, you are of value to the
signal corp. The army needs cam
era men. Men to operate all types
of still or movie cameras are
needed. There isn't much differ
ence between the operation of a
box camera and an aerial high

be the ones to help do this.
Dramatics play an important
part too. The signal corp can
use men to demonstrate various
procedures in army training and
those of you who can act will be
of great value in making photo
graphic class room movies.
Public speaking is of use too,
there will be many details that
need explaining and anyone with
audience appeal is desirable. If
your voice records well, you may
be of service to the signal corp
in the making of it's sound NOV
les as a clear voice is important.
If you are apt in sports, you
have a place in the army, as
the recreation dept. needs fell
lows to help train and exercise
others, who have not had such
training. A healthy body can be
developed and maintained by the
aid of you, who desire this type
of work.
So your hobby is cooking? You
might as well say that your
goose is cooking for the army. AS
the army travels on its stomach,
1t has to have experts that know
what to put into it.
The mechanical units can use
all of you that have ever cleaned
spark to overhauling an en-

fighting mechanics are needed. If
you have ever tinkered with ma
chimes at all, you have definite

Washington, July ia pamphlet
designed TO assist the campaign to
abolish racial discrimination has
been published as a reprint by the
quarterly. SOUTH TODAY. En-
titled There Are Things to Do"
the pamphlet Is "beamed" chiefly
at white residents Of the South.
The author, Lillian Z. Smith,
points out that white people can
make varying contributions to the
fight against racial bias, ranging
from militant action through labor
unions and other progressive organ
izations to simply the contribution
Of funds to support such action.

Brother Myers pointed out to
the delegates that the union was
no longer primarily concerned
with economic issues, that the well
fare of each union member was de
rectly bound up with speedy vic
tory Of the United Nations, and
that giving leadership in mobiliz-
ing the people Of this country to
support our commander-in-chief
was a major part of the union pro-
gram.
NMU members spend most Of
their time on the high seas-s0
the union must depend on the

The union doesn't expect them
10 shoulder this task alone. One
full-time auxiliary organizer Is al
ready on the union payroll, and
more help will be given.
Our NMU sisters deserve enor-
nous credit. Four Of the delegates
this year were women who have
lost their husbands in torpedoings
at sea. All of them have been
through heart-sick months won
dering whether their men would
come back. And yet they encour-
age those men to ship back out to
deliver the goods while they or
ganize the women to get behind

principles Of local, democratic
participation In the food produce
ton programs" as opposed TO the
present way Of leaving the food
program wholly implanted.
Farm production Cannot be
turned on and off merely by push
ing a button" the statement point
ed out, and because of the long
term risks farmers undertake when
they convert one crop to another.
or when they expand production,
they must be protected against
losses which otherwise would put
them out of business.
SUBSIDIES WELL KNOWN
"The government has been pay
ing out subsidies in order to bring
high-cost mines into operation and
II has been using incentive pay
ments in order to stimulate extra
production necessary to the war
even though its per unit cost Is
higher" the committee stated.
There Is no reason why such
payments should be denied the
farmers. II they are to increase
production and shift their farm
plans to meet war needs they
should be safeguarded against
loss and their extra costs should
be met"

Murray Cd, Wis.,, Feighan 3D.,

ers. 1t Is to the interest Of tho

or without subsidies.

or without subsidies.
Proof Of the tragic incompetence
OF Prentiss Brown as Price Ad-
ministrator Is daily piling up.
In the last days Of Congress be-
fore the recess he lobbied on
Capitol Hill to loosen the ban on
grade labelling and standardization
which had been inserted in the OPA
appropriation act. But as a result
Of his own lack of enthusiasm for
these steps, the ban was reinforced
and made permanent through an
amendment to the Price Control
Act.
1t will now require o legal
Houdinl to wriggle out Of the ban
and save the meat pricing pro-
gram, which Is based not only
on grade labelling but on pricing
by standardized cuts.
Another blunder was Browns
relaxation Of the prohibition on
pleasure driving in the eastern
states to permit vacation trips. This
was done over the protests Of the
rationing staff. and. IL reports are
true. in accordance with the advice
OF Lou Maxon.
In view Of the shortage OF gas
on the east coast and the necessity
of prohibiting non-essential driv-
ing, to permit the use of gas for
vacation trips means creating a gas
crisis in the near future. This Is
what happened last spring when
Maxon persuaded Brown to lift
the first pleasure ban.

1--WE propose a program Of price
control and rollback which will
guarantee that there shall be no re-
duction in the prices farmers re-
ceive," the committee said in the
statement released by its chairman,
Rep. Thomas Scanlon ID, Pa).
"Such guarantees can be made by
appropriate legislation. Subsidies
provide the means by which ii Is
possible to roll back prices without
having the cost rolled back on the
farmer"
Basic approach on the war
food problem must be "that Of
assisting farmers to increase food
production the committee said.
This must include aid to the farm
ers In shifting from non-essen-
tial to essential crops, as well as
in producing more food, In stop
ping wastage Of land and other
resources. and In helping them
on market problems.
This will have TO be done despite
the opposition Of the so-called
farm block" that does not repre-
sent the working farmer but rather

fiation gang that has been working
all along in Congress against SUBJ
