CONFLICTING POLICIES IN
NORTH AND SOUTH AKIN,
R05ENWALD OFFICIAL WRITES

CHICAGO, Dec. II (ANP)-
Our Conflicting Poicies," an ar
ticle by Will w. Alexander of the
Julius Rosenwald fund, for the Jan.
2 issue Of Harpers magazine, names
education as the first of these pol
icieS. Tracing the history of Negro
education from the days just fol-
lowing the Civil war to the present
time, he explains:
The increase in educational op-
portunity has caused the Negro IL
literacy rate to drop from 95 per
cent at Emancipation to less than
10 per cent today" and added that
southern states are showing a ten
dency to move toward equalization
Of educational funds for Negro and
white schools.
After lauding the work of Ne
gro educators, Alexander passes on
to segregation and here reminds
his readers that not all segrega-
ton, bias and discrimination prac-
tices are confined to the south but
IN the north, too, schools, trans
portatlon, entertainment and par
ticularly housing services have

gro.
segregation is not only southern
but national" stated Alexander.
1T varies not SO much in degree as
in method in different sections of
the country"
Sizing up these conflicting pol
icies, he said that segregation tends
to defeat "the inspiring work of
Negro education" Unless the prob
lem of segregation can be solved,
the writer explained, there is no
hope Of any alienation of the race
problem in America"
General social conditions in re-
gard to Negro-white relations are
none too different in the north and
south, Alexander further criticises.
The Negro housing problem for ex-
ample, in cities north and south, is
not equal but far poorer. Colored
people are largely forced to live in
slum areas which have been aban-

new IOrk, y. L. 5s.fSss-a,
doned by other groups and Negroes
who are financially able to secure
better Accommodations find it almost
impossible to do so outside the seq
regated areas. Residential segre-
cation has forced Negroes to pay
higher rents and higher purchase
prices for inferior accommodations
in every city where they sock hous-
ing.
Back to the problem of Negro
education, the julius Rosenwald
fund executive calls attention to
the fact that in Chicago, 16 public
schools have double shifts, all of
them Negro schools.
A sum total of all of this segre-
cation and deprivation on the part
OF Negro citizenry results that the
economic development of these col
ored people has been seriously eff
fected and retarded. "While edu-
eating Negroes for participation in
American life" Alexander stated,
I'VE have denied them free partici-
patton in the economic life of the
country"
The CIO, however, is doing it's
best to correct this economic prob
lem. In the long run, said Alex
ander, it may turn out that the
new attitude of labor toward Ne
gro workers, as expressed by the
CIO, may have more significance
than the changes that have taken
place in government employment
patterns.
Officially, the CIO has abolished
the color line as to opportunity and
privileges for Negroes in it's un-
ion," he further states, and des-
cribes this organization as "the
most promising force for correct
ing the inconsistencies in our ra-
cial patterns.
Concluding, Alexander asserts
that Negroes behave like other hu-
man beings and that SO completely
American are they "that our Ne
gro population will not submit pas
sively to being pushed around as
they are under segregation.
American way of life. In giving it
"Edncational opportunities for
the common man is a part of th~
to Negroes, we have let them in on
the meaning of democracy. Their
unrest under their special limita-
tions is the result, not Of sinister
influence from the outside, but of
our education which, with all it's
faults, is the best thing in our de-
mocracy.

ASK RACIAL BIAS BE SET ASIDE
IN FIGHT AGAINST FA5(I5TS

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 27 (ANP)-
The least we can do is set aside our
prejudices and our intolerances,
and unite our strength in the fight
against our fascist enemies, was
the essence of remarks by Otto N.
Maschoff, president, CIO United
Electrical, Radio & Machine Work
ers of America, local 825, to union
members and employees at the St.
Louis Ordnance plant as he urged
them to aid in his efforts to fill
the 6,4O0 vacancies at the plant
with Negro workers.
Maschoff and Miss Betty Raab,
secretary-treasurer Of the local,
resigned Sunday after union men,
bers violently protested his sugges-
tion that additional Negroes be
taken into the war plant to work
side by side with whites, without
regard to race, color or creed.
Maschoff's three-point program
included:
l. To initiate a campaign to re-
cruit members who voluntarily will
man the buildings on an interra-
cial basis; to obtain from the COM
pany an agreement whereby jim
crowism or segregation will not be
practiced in any form in these
buildings.
2. To aid Maschoff and Miss
Raab in forming a committee for
democracy and fair play to show
that Negroes and whites can work
together.
3. To take all necessary steps to
help recruit the 6,4OO workers re-
quired to bring the plant into full
production.
Already Maschoff has solicited
the aid of the following persons and
organizations in promoting his Gin
terracial good will and intolerance"
policies: the Ministerial Alliance,
Archbishop John ]. Glennen, the
Rabbinical association, the May
od's Interracial commission and
other civic groups.
"The least that we can do is to
set aside our prejudices and our
intolerances, which at U. S. Cart

And it Is considered highly un~ likely that the President Will send one American soldier Co Jugoalavta on Q mission which might bring clashes with Russia, He ls likely e tell Churchill that, R he feels 60 strongly about Jugoslavia, he shoui6 send the British army.
 Prior to Teheran, the President il understood to have been sounded out regarding . confederation os Catholic countries, but made no commitment. However, at Teheran, when the question Of the Balkans arose, he definitely sided with Stalin that Russia was entitled to Q sphere of influence in the Slavic countries of Bulgaria and Jugoslavla, plus the neighhoring Latin country of Rou- mania,
 Churchill bucked at this, It was one of the points which so riled him against Stalln, Since then he has continued to chate, and continued to maneuver with Greece and va- rious Balkan factions to continue Britain'S sphere of influence in southeast Europe,

he sought the VaticNn'S help In stemming it. Obviously he felt that the Vatican also would be alarmed over the sight of Soviet RrnaieS spreading over Jugoslavla up to the brink of the Adrlatic, only Q gun. shot away from Italy,
 He therefore Is understood to have proposed Q group of Catholic states which might serve as a Med- iterranean buffer against Russia, These would include Roman Cath ollc Croatia and Slovenia (now Q part of JugoSlavla, but never too happy with the Orthodox Catholic Serbe); also Hungary, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, perhaps later France,
 Churchill Is known to have had this Catholic c-buffer-States idea up his sleeve for some time, In fact, 1t was in order to bring Spain into this orbit that he threw such sud. den bouquets in the direction of Spanish dictator Franco last spring,
 When the Prime Minister sounded out the Vatican on this however, the Pope, who is very practical, Is reported to have been somewhat lukewarm, and asked what power was to support this confederation of Mediterranean nations, Tn other words, unless the prestige of the United States and Its Army were behind the union, its existence might be troubled and short-lived, Churchill now wants to put this whole idea before the President,
 Spheres Of Influence
 It also has been reported that Churchill would like to send more Allied troops into Jugoslavia before the Russians get there, thus block. ing the Soviet occupation of the eastern shore of the Adriatic, This Is also Q subject he Is reported to have discussed with the Pope. But here again Churchill cannot trans fer Allied armies from Italy across the Adriatic without Roosevelts consent,

 The Eisenhower strategy was proving Itself day by day. Through these early weeks the French port of Dakar, which Hitler had planned to use as Sprlngboard across the South Atlantic to South Amer lea, was turned over to the use of the United Nations. American ground forces reached Dakar American forces were battling at Tobourba. Allied planes were bomb- ing Bizerte in TuniSia. United States and British forces were in. fiicting severe casualties on the enemy.

 New Years Day, lo43, found the Allied forces driving hard wedges into the Axis strongholds. There was a constant succession of blows and counter blows as the Amer. jeans advanced, were driven back, and then drove forward again in terrific onslaughts,
 Eisenhower called his headquar. ters Grand Central Station" be- cause of the crowd constantly passing through. There he sat and sweated in the daytime and nearly froze at night as he issued orders and listened to complaints.
 General Ike is the man to take your troubles to- exclaimed an officer. like can grin at anyone and make him feel good. When you see what he's up against more than half your troubles disappear" |"
 His informality, with his sound advice or admonition. was a com polling force in itself, At the be- ginning Of the campaign he sent this message to General Patton.
 Dear Georgie: Algiers has been crumbling rapidly with Navy shore batteries surrendering. Only tough nut left to crack is in your hand. Crack 1t open quickly. (SigneD Ike"
 Even when forced to fight two wars at the same time, one on the military front and the other on the political front, General Ike re- mained cool. His great working capacity. his vast memory and extraordinary organizing ability, commanded respect of friend or foe.
