Negro behind the guns Of ships al sea or in the
swamps OF the Southwest Pacific
We have a long way to go But there arc more
cClorcd men and women working side by side with
tho white men and women az semi skilled and highly
skilled OCCUPATIONS than ever before IN history and
they are getting along Joining unions together
playing together. There are Negro graduate engi-
neers in deep research as Jen Davis with the Bell
Aircraft IN buffalo There Negro chemists gaz-
ing into the fascinating world OF the dancing anioms
and Negro physicists deving into the dark mysteries
OF clecironics In the great sperry Gyroscope cor
poraton. Negro engineers doing research where
a few months ago Negro couldn't wash the win
dows And colored girls by the hundreds, fashion
the delicate Instruments OF giant bombers and dead
ly sky fighters.
In the meantime colleges hitherto closed 10 Ne
grocs are opening their doors Swarlhmore IS an
example and the magnificent Catholic College for
Women at New Rochelle. New York hundred
youth organizations IN schools and colleges
cepting the Negro and planning for his complete in
tegration into American life.
We are winning the fight. The road IS long and
hard but winning
In New York qualified coiorcd teachers are on
the faculties OF great universities. City College OF
New York university and Hunter Colored are
motormen and guards and dspachers the sub
ways az we'll as change-makers II Is not uncom-
mon either 10 see them the street as motor
men and on the buses as chauneurs.
And Behold Richmond Va. former Capitol OF the
confederacy Is about 70 abolish Jim Grow in trans
portation IN that city.
This Is a clncher This Is conclusive evidence
that u we keep up the fight We can win.
For Negro or a group OF Negroes now 10 fos-
ter Jim Crow institution based race and col
or is incredible. And the Negro community must
rise up and reject A. no matter what It's disguise or
pretsniion. Any other course spells catastrophe.

Stote's Bond Purchases

First Day Of Drive
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Sept. l0.-A total
Of l48, 8,503 Maryland men and women
are serving with the armed forces,
Gov. O'Conor said last night in a
Third War Loan proclamation ad-
dress.
The Governor said the War De-
partment had authorized him to
quote the figures in a radio broad
cast which concluded the drives
opening-day ceremonies.
OF the total, 96,121 entered under
selective service and 52,382 through
other channels, the Governor said.
"This is terrif1cally high per-
centage of the able bodied popula-
ton of our State but its proportion
is distinctly in line with the re-
sponse that Marylanders always have
made to their country's call. = =
Maryland knows what sacrifice
means and surely no State -" has
more incentive to back up its fight
ing sons" Gov. O'Conor asserted.
His talk came shortly after War
Finance Committee headquarters
announced subscription of $43500,-
900 in war bonds in the first II
hours of the drive.
Despite the surrender of Italy
- the end is not in sight," said
Gov. OConor. Germany is still a
strong, implacable foe. Japan has
won unlimited resources to bolster
it's warlike ambitions. Together,
even without italy, they constitute
threat to American and world
security.
If this war is to be won So" we
cannot, We dare not, sit back COM
placently here in America and talk
and think in terms of sacrifice
when it comes to buying war bonds

to slightly less than one-fourth the

Rent Control
Liked. {. Has
Urged al Farley
Virginia Realty Men
Hit OPA 'FumbIinq';
Favor locuI Power

Urging that stop be put to fur
ther OPA "fumbling" with rent con-
troll, Cyrus Crane Willmore, presi-
dent of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, yesterday de-
clared the Washington rent control
system should be extended over the
entire Nation.
Mr.. Willmore, a St. Louis realtor,
spoke before the annual outing of
the Alexandria Arlington Fairfax
Real Estate Board at the Washing
ton Golf and Country Club in Arl-
ington.
Mr.. Willmore asserted a sound
rent control system is necessity
now, but criticized the manner in
which OPA is handling the prob
lem. He pointed to the District
setup as a model of how the job
should be done.
THE control OF rents, which
means the control of private prop
erty, is serious matter" he said.
1T is matter in which local judg-
ment and local control should be
stressed. ~..-,
THE District system, which oper-
ates under its own plan, independ-
ent of OPA, is based on local par
ticipation," he said. "It is a good
system and has shown that rent
control, when properly handled, can
be made to work equitably and with
out causing injury, hardship or
conflict"
Mr.. Willmore said that the OPA
system has shown that, because of
overcentralization and indexibility,
hardship has been created and ILL
will caused between landlords and
tenants.
I'VE in this country must get back
to the concepts of our forefathers, !"
he said. I'VE no longer must place
such emphasis on having people do
what the Government wants. We
must get back to having the Gov
ernment do what the people want"
