Edwards, Edeeeomb and
Rev. White on the Spot

Three men were on a spot
Saturday in this nayoral cam
psign. closing their eyes and block
ing their ears against the political
sights and the tumult that sur
rounded them.
The harassed officials in a
mutual stew are Councilman
George Edwards. Housing Com
mission Director George r. Edge
comb and the Rev. Horace a..
White. Negro member of the
housing commission.
Two months ago. they were
happy, diligent municipal workers,
loyal to Mayor JeffrieS and opti-
mistic over the future. Today
they are uncomfortably enmeShed
in a swirling political battle.
Though no longer happy they
remain loyal 10 Jeffries. That S

LETTER UNMAILED

The mayor is reported 10 have
refused TO allow the housing di-
rector 10 climb out on a limb. In
any event, the letter became COM
mon knowledge around the city
hall, but was never mailed.
The Rev. Mr.. Whites difficult
ties are obvious. He is one of the
city's foremost Negro leaders. He
would like TO see Jeffries re-
elected for he agrees with the
mayor that bi-racial housing at
this time would be a dangerous
undertaking.
The position OF the Negroes in
this election was shown in the
primary when their precincts sup

LEADERS IN CIo

The troubles OF Edwards and
Edgecomb grow from the fact
that they are the outstanding Go
leaders holding public office in the
present administration.
Besides being councilman, Ed
wards has been an important cog
IN the JeffrieS regime. He Travelled
with the mayor during the cam
paign two years ago. worked with
him in solving many a problem
and served as chief air raid
warden.
However, Edwards grew 10
political stature through the ClO
and his roots are deep in that
organization. Now that the JAW
and the Go are backing Frank
FITZGERALD for mayor and financ-
ing his campaign, Edwards re-
mains mum and looks neither to
the left nor 10 the right.

VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF
PEOPLE REDEEM BONDS TO
PAY QUARTERLY TAXES

Gentlemen: | am writing to tell
! you about what 1 believe is a mag
nificent tribute to the patriotism
of the American people.
AS you know, there has been
considerable speculation and talk
concerning the effect that increas-
ed taxes might have on the sale
and redemption of United States
Savings Bonds.
You will be delighted to know
that during March, when the first
Tax instalIment fell due, bond sal
es were ga percent higher than in
February, and more than 65 per
cent ahead of March, 1912.
The story on redemption is equal
ly encouraging.
From May l, 1941, when U. s.
Savings Bonds Series E. F. and g.
were first offered for sale, thru
March 81, 1943, redemptions have
been less than 3h percent of total
sales. And redemptions during
March this year were only 81 one-
hundredths Of one percent Of the
total amount outstanding. That's
a record that all Americans can
well be proud of.
What it shows is that we as a Ma
ton fully realize the privilege that
is OURS to do our part in helping TO
finance the tremendous costs CT
total war. It shows that as a peo-
pie We understand the necessity
not only for buying War Bonds
but also for keeping them.
Many thanks for all you have
done, and for your. continuing eff
forts to make the War Savings
Program successful.
