lynching tryable in Federal courts
and punishable by Federal law
The Republican party in its plat
form and in the declarations of its
candidates should commit itself
unequivocally and specifically to
Federal antipoll tax and antilynch-
ing statutes.
The Negro people of the United
States understand ably refuse to ac-
Cept the technical arguments against
cloture in the debates on antipoll
tax and anti-lynching bills, or even
the sincere claims of constitution
alism which prevent such just
measures from becoming law. And
the very fact that the Republican
party was the instrumentality
through which the Negroes were
given freedom makes them the
more resentful that it should join
in acts which prevent them from
obtaining the substance of freedom

Of the residents of the United

He urged farmers to inform them
selves about the surplus war ma
terials which will be available after
the war. Much of this material
will be useful on the farms. Farm
ers, in his opinion, should see that
. they get this surplus material at
cost and not permit the "sharpers'
to get it for little or nothing and
sell it to the farmers at tremend-
ouSly high prices.

johnson also called the attention
of the farmers CT the nation to the
plan for bringing larger and larger

During World war No. I an ad-

said II have been told that dur

cultivation. Imagine the increased
population necessary to Use the in
creased production. More lard
should not be brought under culti-
Vation until it is needed.
There has been a lot of talk
about settling returned servicemen

THAT sounds well but what good

Arthur's quite a character. Seems
he acquired the "Jitterbug King

the first one. That was before

ASIA Is AGING

They're having a little trouble

After 10 years of stardom in these
Thin Man pictures he's getting a
little old for the part. Doesn't get

they can't write Asia out OF the
script as easily as they did tie
baby, so he has couple Of doubles
who do the leaping and running,
The real Asia comes in just fer the

Asia isn't too old, though, to go
exploring. Other day he wandered
off the set and visited a sound stage
where Fred AsJaire and Gene
Kelly were dancing, An assistant
director, thinking Asia was a stray,
hustled him off the set. The gent
has taken a ribbing ever since.

Let us see to it that the United

Breaking down the figures of
German losses. the Allied COM

Kesselring'S forces had been cut
in half since May II. In that pc
riod, $4,000 Germans were cap

in excess of 100000 wounded.

PAYS ENEMY TRIBUTE

However. the NaZi field marshal
was given full credit by Alexander
for being an able and clever gen.
eral
HE is especially good In re-
gaining control of his forces
after he has made a blunder,"
Gen. Alexander declared.
Reviewing the long struggle
from the days before Nazi Field
Marshal Rommel was driven out
of Africa, Alexander said that the
Sicilian invasion was planned In
detail while the Tunisian cam
paign was still under way.
The Sicilian c m pa gn was
barely under way when details of
the Italian thrust were ironed out
and approved.
EQUIPMENT Is SUPERIOR
Another evidence of careful Al
lied planning was disclosed in the
commanders statement that the
British and Americans have had
superiority in artillery and tanks
and have dominate the air
throughout the campaign.
The general revealed that spoils
have included $40 tanks, $50 as
sault guns. $40 anti-tank guns, 700
artillery pieces, 1873 locomotives
and 1868 railway cars.
HITLER HELPS HIS PAL
Gen. Alexander opined that Hit
ler'S desire TO stand by his old pal
MuSSolini was one of the deter
mining factors which caused the
Germans 10 keep such a large
force on the Italian front.
Weather and the rugged terrain
OF Italy are hampering Allied OPP
erations, Gen. Alexander admitted,
adding that the mandate 10 the
Allies in Italy still remains:
Keep as many NaZi divisions
engaged as possible; destroy as
many as possible: liberate Italy
as quickly as possible"
