TO THE EDITOR:

The Macomb County Ration
ing Board has asked the Macomb
County Civilian Defense Volun-
teer Office TO handle the re-
issuance of supplemental gas
ollne applications.
Anything that you can do in
your community to enlist the
aid of volunteers to come to Mt.
Clemens to help on this huge
program will certainly be APP
preciated. Up to now, with the
exception of few communities,
Mt Clemel has carried the
load of re-issuing supplemental
gasoline rations. The time has
now come when we need addi-
tional help and we must secure
it from the outlying districts.
If car load could come in once
week from each community,
it would certainly help our sit
uation here. All volunteers
should contact their Civilian
Defense Volunteer Office Direc-
tor in their community or else
call Mt. Clemens 6Cl2.
Yours truly,
MACOMB COUNTY
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

reserves OF men and equipment
ready for quick movement TO the
west or south in event Of an Al
lied invasion.
Al present, these sources said,
the Germans appear more con-
cerned over the possibility OF an
Allied thrust through the Bal
kans than an attack on their At
lantic wall, and consequently
are speeding defense prepare
tons in southeastern Europe.
Reports from the Balkans de-
clared that while the Axis de-
lenses there are not complete
the Allies nevertheless would
find them a tough-but not inn
possible-nut 10 crack.
RUMORS RIFE
Rumors concerning A lie d
plans for a Balkan invasion -
most Of them apparently i'll
founded-are rife in Turkey, and
there is considerable speculation
as TO what the summer may
bring forth.
Expert observers. however,
predict that an Allied attempt to
crack Adolf Hitler's dcfenses in
southeastern Europe is not likely
10 involve Turkey in the war
unless she is threatened with a
German counter : o ( ensiv e
through Thrace and the OAR
danelles region.
The general opinion here is
that the Allies delivered the
knockout blow to the Axis forces
in North Africa about two weeks
sooner than had been expected
in Berlin or Rome, and that this
surprise is responsible for the
current hasty preparations in the
Balkans.
At present less than one full
German garrison division is re-
ported in Bulgaria, although the
Nazis recently have thoroughly
overhauled communications and
supply systems and prepared adj
vance base sites for quick move
ment of troops if this proves
necessary.
SUPERVISE PARTS
Bulgaria's Black Sea ports are
said to be strictly supervised by
the Germans, who are under or
ders to fire without warning
upon anyone - even Bulgarian
officers-who approach defense
zones.
Sofia, however, is reported to
be extremely vulnerable to air
attack and efforts are being
made to evacuate as many per-
sons as possible.
Partial evacuation of several
OF the larger Rumanian cities
also is reported under way,
while in Budapest police are said
to be conducting sweeping
roundup OF elements believed
likely TO prove troublesome in
event of invasion.
Greece currently is believed TO
boast the largest Axis garrison in
the Balkans, with more than 20
Italian divisions, three German
divisions and possibly Croat
division based there.

Lewis' Bid
for AL Favor
Sums Labor
BY JOSEPH A. LOTUS

WASHINGTON, May 2o-(P
John l.. Lewis return TO the
doorstep of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor stunned all but
a few insiders in labor circles
today and left them cropping for
an explanation.
The unpredictable president
of the United Zine Workers,
who defied the AFL in 1885 and
was suspended for organizing
the rival CLIO, formally petit
toned in behalf Of the miners
for readmission. An ALL state
ment yesterday said the appli-
cation was welcomed and
was being considered in IAN or
derby and sympathetic way
Lewis withheld comment at
his New York hotel but his
friends said his action was evil
dence of his desire for uni
fled labor movement Critics
doubted if that told the whole
story. Many believed he made
the jump because he had 9TH
er place to go, while still seek
ing the top spot in the Amer
lean labor movement.
When Lewis lost control OF
the CIO and left it last year
he virtually burned his bridges
behind him. He tried a third
movement under the banner of
District so, a catch-all unit of
the UNIV. The results were
less than spectacular.
INFLUENCE LIMITED
AS the leader Of single UNI
ion, the United Mine Workers,
his influence in politics has its
limitations. BY rejoining a
federation of unions whose mem
bership soon may aggregate
100000, he could be seeking
q potent alliance in political
councils, perhaps starting with
the 1914 presidential cam.
paigns.
William l.. Hutcheson, pres
ident of the AFL Brotherhood
of Carpenters, is regarded as
Lewis chief ally and sponsor
Of his return TO the fedora
ton. Like Lewis, Hutchinson
is a Republican.
In All interview last night,
the president of the carpenters
said Lewis application was
evidence Of his sincerity for
q unified labor movement"
Hutchinson said that in the
current soft coal wage dispute,
"too much blame is being plac-
ed on Lewis He is represent
ing the men who dig the coal.
and from what | can learn he
is only carrying out their de-
sires."
UNRELATED
Lewis latest move, however.
was not believed TO bear any
immediate relationship to the
current soft coal wage dispute.
II was Hutchinson whom Lew
Is punched al an AFL conven-
ton eight years ago But that
wound has long since healed.
The carpenters chief said he
thought Levi s application
would encounter no difficulty
in the AFL executive council.

Green and the rest of us have

''The Negro in the South has
suffered from prejudices, because
the white people, in considering his
petitions for more facilities or op-
portunities, such as vocational
schools, feared that he was after
social equality. Now, in a real and
deep sense, there is no such thing
as social equality, even among
white people. And even in those
states where the law does not for
bid it, there is little intermarriage
between the members of my race
and the white race."-C. C. Spauld-
