state, has any right to tell any
sort of private business what per-
sons it shall hire or fire. It's known
that colored charwomen have been
forced into government positions
as clerks and secretaries. Inc
FEPC has no warrant III either
law or logic"
is THIS AMERICANISM?
That doesn't sound like the lam
guage of a citizen, let alone a
CONGRESSMAN of a country that has
held itself out to the worlds OPP
pressed peoples as a land OF OPP
portunity, does it? Not mucn
Americanism there, is there?
Well, let's examine Brother
Starnes' plant. He says no
government has right to tell
a business whom it shall hire.
The Presidents Committee on
Fair Employment Practices has
never done that. The executive
order which brought it into
being, mesely states that IL
company is working on war
orders, it must abide by GER
tain specifications set by the
government.
One of those specifications is
that the company must play the
game by the rules first laid down
by the trainers of the Constltu-
tion-that all Americans regard
less of race, religion, color OF
national origin, shall be given an
opportunity. Now honestly, Mr.
Starnes, what could any true
American find wrong with that?
HAS NO PLACE HERE
Of course it could easily be
seen why fascist might find an
order that holds all men must
be given an equal chance, dis
tasteful. Hitler believes in the
.herrenvolk. Such a creed has nc
place here. Are you saying, Mr.
Starnes that you find his superior
ity notions to your liking?
But words are being wasted
attempting to attach reason to
the statements made by either
Representative Starnes, or any
of his fellow travellers in the
unholy alliance. They are be-
yOnd the pale of reason. They
are i'm politics. And votes are
the only thing that they can
understand.

Wins Soldiers Medal For
Saving Life OF His Pal
Took Burning
Clothes Off Man
With Bare Hands

HEADQUARTERS, 18TH AIR
FORCE, North Africa-(S N 81
- Although painfully burned
Staff Sergeant (then sergeant)
Robert Lee Thomas, of Dallas, Tex
as, smothered the flames engulf-
ing a fellow soldier with his own
body and ripped off the burning
clothes with his bare hands, the
War Department learned today.
For his heroism, the 38-year-old
non-commissioned officer recently
received the Soldiers Medal in the
presence of his Military Police bat
TALON drawn up in formation at a
North African air base. Quite en-
barraSsed by the display, Sergeant
Thomas blushed boyiShly and NUT
tered I'm mighty proud as Major
Melvin v. Engstrom, of Rawlins,
Wyoming, base commander, pre-
sented him with his decoration.
Sergeant Thomas, who entered
the service in February, 1941, and
was once discharged for leverage"
saved the life of one Of his fellow
soldiers on December %. 1943, when
tine latter's clothes became ignited
from the flames of a burning ryra-
midal tent. The victim, frantic with
pain, fled from the tent.
''As the victim ran out into the
open, tanning the flames, Ser
geant Thomas pursued him and
flung him to the ground" the cita-
ton reads. Although painfully
burned in the process, Sergeant
Thomas smothered the flames with
him own body and tore off the
burning clothes with his bare
hands.
The soldier suffered multiple
second and third degree burns and
quite probably was saved from ia
tai injury only by Sergeant Thorn
as quick action and total disre-
gard for self.
Sergeant Thomas heroism and
devotion to duty reflect great cred
it upon himself and the military
service of the United States" the
citation concluded.

CHARGE COVE RM0R Dewey DITCHED
BILLS THAT WOULD HAVE AIDED RACE
Has Joined With
S0uth'S Demos

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Charges that Gov Thomas
E. Dewey has joined hands with southern Republicans IN
efforts to block Negro and win their support were
heard this week in chorus of disappointment from col
leaders when the recommended creation OF
new an-discrmnation commission, rather than act on
discrimination already pending III che state leg
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1944-04-01

Interpreting the governors move
as a complete 'abdication OF his
responsibility to the states 100000
colored citizens the National Ne
gro congress along with other or
carnations charge him with Keep
ing his deal with southern polltl-
clans. Action on the Hilburn and
Stuyvesant bills, introduced by As
semblyman Hulan Jack, and the
Wicks State FEPC bill were block
ed by his message to the legislature
recommending the creation OF a
new 23-man anti-diScrimination
commission, which will be financ-
ed by a $4,000 appropriation.
SEND HIM WIRE
In the wire to the governor, the
National Negro congress charged
that his actions were Of the mid
die course.
Reason assigned is your fear to
sign such bills because southern
support might thereby be alienat-
ed for your presidential candidacy
and that you fear to veto such
measures because of the northern
Negro vote" the telegram said.
1--WE urge you, if this is true, to
rise above such petty partisan con-
siderations and support passage of
these bills"
Gov Dewey's political manipu-
lations have been traced back to
the Harlem race riots of last Aug
ust when he appointed a 25-man
committee on discrimination in
employment Working with sim
cerity of purpose, these white and
colored men not only made a de-
tailed report Of their findings but
sent finished bill to the gov
ernor to be introduced in the leg
islature. Dewey sent the bill to
Rep. Wicks (R) to be introduced
in routine fashion, but without his
blessings.
bitches COMMITTEE
The case involving Gov. Dewey
is that he has ditched his own
committee, it's investigation, and
It's bills, which has covered Pc
Rod of IL months work, during
which nothing concrete has been
done to eliminate discrimination,
based on race, creed and color. An
other committee, another inVesti-
cation, other bills will give him
time to make his bid FOR the Pres
idency without losing the support
of the Negro and southern Repub-
ijcan vote, IN assemblyman said
'Dewey's game is done" wrote
Victor H. Bernstein, in PM edl-
torial. 'He starts another. He does
not expect to have to finish the
second. The Republicans from
Georgia will in the meantime be
voting for him in Chicago.
"And the White House door is
wide, and it is far from Harlem
and New York's 100000 Negroes"
with the principles of this bill,
am thoroughly in accord" Dew
ey'S message to the legislature said
CAS- it happens, these various pro-
posals are unrelated to each other.
MANY are difficult Of administra-
ton and there appears to be the
widest divergence of opinion con-
corning them, even among those
most directly interested he wrote
in laying a foundation for his ac-
ton.
