BIDDLE ASKED TO ACT ON
GEORGIA VOTE DENIAL

ATLANTA, Dec. IL (ANP)-
The question of ballots being re-
fused Negroes in the past July A
Democratic primary in Georgia has
been sent to Atty. Gen. Frances E.
Biddle for action, it was disclosed
by Federal District Atty. Neil An
drews at a conferen 2e with eight
Atlantans, who had sought to vote.
Mr.. Andrews, in explaining why
his office had failed to take action,
asserted that there were 96 federal
district attorneys in the nation and
in such cases as that involving vot-
ing, the department of justice at
Washington must authorize any
action taken by the district office.
Attending the conference with
Mr.. Andrews were Atty. A. T.
Walden, president Of the Georgia
Association of Democratic clubs !;
J. A. Bats, insurance man; c. A
Scott, general manager, Atlanta
Daily World; DR.. Ira De A. Reid,
associate director Of the Southern
Regional council; Miss Irene Har-
ris, YWCA secretary; Prof. C. A.
Bacote, Atlanta University; the
Rev. NJ. L. King and Y. w. Hodges,
associate editor, Atlanta Daily
World.
Following the conference, Mr..
Scott wrote Mr.. Biddle pointing the
concern of Negroes about being un-
able to vote in primary elections in
Georgia and said among other
things:
Participation in the primaries
in Georgia is the only way we can

have an effective opportunity to
express a choice between the men
and women who make the laws that
we are forced to live and die by.
So, if we are denied this vital
right, the 18th amendment will
have little real meaning to us.
NATURALLY, we are expecting
your department to protect our
constitutional rights, recently af-
firmed by the supreme court in the
Texas decision, and are wondering
when your department will take
final action"
Another letter was sent the at
torney general by John Wesley
Dobbs, grand master Of Georgia
Masons and prominent political
leader, who asked of Mr.. Biddle
that ''you will use the power of
your high office to help me to Sc
cure voting rights in keeping with
the u. S. constitution"

When the combat boys get
ashore, they can dig in and escape
some of the shelling and strafing,
but the service lads are sweating
it out in the hold of a ship loaded
with gasoline and ammunition. You
don't have to be told what happens
if hit is registered.
Only recently a truck outfit went
into the line with tanks. The ar
NOR had pushed the Krauts back
so far that the dogfeet couldn't mop
up and keep up too, so the service
lads were called in with fleet of
trucks. Imagine an unarmored two
and-a-half ton truck moving side
by side with Sherman tank in the
blistering heat of enemy fire! Non
combatant?
Of Things to Come The over
pubicised pictures of U. S. soldiers
sitting atop jeeps kissing pretty
French girls, helmeted GI's drink
ing champagne or cognac in the
shelled ruins of ghost towns or
sweating out shopping lines in

home frontiers the wrong impress
sion of how CT Joes are spending
their precious spare hours.

studying of books. The sub

conditioning, diesel engines, radio
and industrial electricity.

NEGRO TANK BATTALION
IN ACTION IN FRANCE
By James A. Sanders

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE,
Dec. IL (ANP)-For the first time
in World War II Negro combat
tanks have entered the allied COM
bine to purge the world Of the Hit
Ter scum. This task battalion is on
the third army front and is one of
the elements of the U. S. 26th In
fantry division.
In welcoming the tankers to the
front, said Maj. Gen. Willard S.
Paul, comanding the 26th, 'Pm
proud as hell to have you in sup
port Of my division"
In Which We Serve: They call
them non-combatants-the men of
the service forces. True there will
be very few DISCS and far fewer
Medals of Honor, but its a mis-
nemer to call the quartermaster,
engineer, ordnance, signal, trans
portation and port boys non-cOm-
batant. To say the least it is an
understatement.
Men from these groups have
been in the vanguard of every in
vasion in World War II. True they
do not go in on the first wave.
But who," they ask, "move the
supplies and ammunition from ship
to shore in the teeth of the worst
that the enemy can toss at them"
Everything goes when 88s scream
over.
The bombs and shells that miss
the first waves land right in the
laps of the lads with the ammo
laden "ducks" and trucks. The en-

Board Receives

District manager calls
attention to need for.
proper numbers

Anton r. Boettcher, manager of
the Yakima field office of the
Social Security board was in Ken
newick Wednesday comforting
with employers and employees
relative to Federal Old Age and
Survivors Insurance matters.
Mr.. Boettcher stated that his
office, which serves Yakima, Ben
ton, Kittitas, Chelan, Douglas, and
Okanogan counties, had processed
$50 new claims for benefits in
1943; issued 10000 original Social
Security cards; LOO duplicate
cards: and had effected over 900
changes of record. Changes of
record are usually the result of
marriage of women employees,
which necessitates reissue of their
social security card in their new
name. e. q
Mr.. Boettcher pointed out the
Importance of complete and &C
curate reports Of all employee
wages in covered activities. He
urges employers and >employees
alike to exert every effort to the
end that each employees social
security number appear on all re-
turns filed. If employees wages
are reported without social Sc
curity number or an incorrect
number loss or delay in receipt
of benefits may result. This Is
because all benefits are based on
an employees average monthly
wage in covered employment.

importation of Mexican nationals
to assist with both field work and

bers spent considerable time sur
veying the farm labor problem
of the valley for the coming sea-

with normal crops the situation is
such as to require maximum re-
of home folks home
workers to be amply supplemented
by many hundreds of workers to
be brought into the area from

Reporting the meeting at today's

stated that he had an interview
with the district manager for the

necessary before any further ac-
ton could be undertakn. Mr..

make investigations concerning
such a location.
