the opinion that he is attacking
that organization only TO cover up
his own ineffectiveness or unwil-
lingness to act.
The NAACP is an organization

includes among its warm support

Frank Murphy. General Theodore
Roosevelt. and Herbert H. Lehman.
The NAACP is a trouble-making
organization in the sense that any
organization that protests against
injustice is trouble-maker. in the
sense that unions are trouble
makers for unfair employers. and
in the same sense that those who
believe in liberty are trouble
makers for Hitler.

THE DOUBLE Y

PLEDGE DRAWN
Committee Formed For
Negro Contribution
To Community

"The Double v Begins With Me"
Committee held a special meeting
Friday in the cafeteria Of the Lucy
Thurman Branch Of the YWCA, at
which time a definite approach was
made to familiarize Detroit and
Paradise Valley with their program.
A spokesman for the Double v
committe announced that L. c.
Blount and William c. Loving, Jr,
had an appointment for a confer
ence with Frank N. Isbey, chair
man of the Michigan Bond commit
tee, but failed to make known the
nature of the conference.
The Double v Committee was con-
ceived several weeks ago as "a con-
tribution Of the Negro community to
the entire city" 1T is hoped by
the sponsors that during the next
five weeks every individual De-
troiter may be made fully aware Of
his personal responsibility to inl-
sure a victory for democracy both
abroad and on the home 'front.'" ac-
cording to announcement made by
Louis c. Blount, chairman of the
Double v Committee and General
Manager of the Great Lakes Mutual
Life Insurance company.
Part OF the Double v Campaign
is a ten-point pledge which it is
hoped some $4,000 persons will sign.
and keep. The pledge reads:
/. I will do my duty to God and
my country.
2. / will exercise my right and
privilege to vote.
3. / will do my best on my job
by going to work EVERY day and
on time.
4. will cooperate with my man
agement and labor committees for
mutual benefits.
S. will do my duty by taking
active part in civic and patriotic
affairs.

8. I will make friends with my
fellow workers regardless of color.
creed, or national origin.
8. l will dress, and control my
speech and vocabulary and temper
so as TO demand respect always.
10. l Will SAVE: Scrap, rubber.
stamps. bonds, etc.
Part Of the purpose Of the cam
paign, according to the sponsors is
to stress the obligations OF all war
workers to report every day on
time and cut down on the absen-
teeism which can acct war produc-
ton. Since the recent riots the COM
mittee is also emphasizing the pa
triotic duty Of all American workers

all united in our democratic objec-
/ tives and that We can work to-
gether amicably to manufacture
