ing heaven and earth to get him. self off the State Department black list. He has even gone so far as to get Ed Flynn, Democratic boss of the Bronx and former chairman of the Democratic National Con- mittee, to go to bat on his behalf.
 Flynn has been making repre- sentations to Secretary of State Hull that Wenner- -Gren has had abso- lutely no connections with Germany and should not be blacklisted. The State Department, so far, has re- fused to move.
 Wenner- Gren came into prom thence shortly after war broke when he fled from Sweden on his yacht, the Southern Cross, and picked up survivors from the torpedoed British vessel, Athenia.
 After that, he lived for some time in Nassau, near his close friend. the Duke of Windsor, and later moved to Mexico, where the Mexican Gov erpment seized his palatial yacht
 -Gren has now requested the State Department to let him come to Washington. He believes that, if he could present his case personally. he could supplement the efforts of Ed Flynn and shake off the blacklist.

POSTWAR U. $. BASES

A House Naval Affairs subcom- mittee, headed by Representative Edward Hebert of Louisiana, which recently returned from an inspec- ton tour of United States bases in South America, has made three major recommendation in a report to Congress:
 l. Permanent acquisition of Brit ish bases in the Caribbean area,
 ?. Continued operation of eight American military and naval bases in Brazil after the war
 3. The granting to Brazil, and other friendly neighbors in South America, of small surplus warships -destroyers, cutters and patrol boats, which we will not need after the war but which will be useful to South American nations for coast patrol and trade purposes.
 Hebert brought out in his report that these surplus vessels could be granted to our South American neighbors in exchange for bases.
 NOTE-The first Hebert recom- mendation, regarding permanent acquisition of British bases, was

LABOR'S PROGRAM

Worthy of consideration is the statesmanlike pro- gram recently submitted to the American Federation of Labor by organized labor the postwar problem.
 Few thoughtful Americans can quarrel with most of the specific recommendations. Both at home and abroad the labor committee has recommended the basis for peace.
 Aboad it sees the necessity for international organization, for continuing study, for force where force alone serve, for the basic freedoms, for wider prosperity resting lowered trade barriers
 At home it reaffirms it's faith in democratic pur- poses and democratic aims in freedom of enterprise as essential to freedom of labor in the middle way between great power of Government and too great power of unregulated private business, in the re- sponsibty of labor well as other groups for the welfare of the impoverished agricultural and indus trial workers" in good private well public hous ing in cooperation between the unions and manage ment to lower production costs
 There is leeway in the program for disagreements between specific AFL unions and specific employers. Such disagreements must arise because of the very nature of the industrial society. The competitive system, itself, rests on certain amount of daily disagreement prices and qualities in which there is a stimulation to exertion risk and progress.
 But if the AFL lives up to this program, at home as well as internationally, there will be lessenng of meaningless conflict, away from class tendencies which do not belong in America, move toward more sober and controlled industrial ad- justments

TUESDAY, MAY Is

Benefic aspects rule today bring ing portents of good news from battlefronts. But sign of evil omen for flying forces seems to presage ambush in the skies HEART AND HOME: Women are subject to stimulating and in- spring planetary influences. Heavy responsibilities and greater oppor- tunities for public service are fore cast. Wise adjustments between home duties and wage-paying tasks must be made at this time; there should be careful preparation for the future. Midsummer is to bring crises to many households.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Large profits for the fish industry are foretold this season will bring a demand for millions of pounds of food from coastal and inland waters. Relaxation of many Government regulations is indicated
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Equal rights for women will be widely dis cussed as war emergencies increase demands for workers Many per sons are unaware even now that citizenship failed to remove all legal handicaps for wives and mothers.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Signs that the United States will realize more keenly the effects of the world war are read as warnings of some disaster. The summer months will bring about the most desperate fighting in history, ac- cording to astrologers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of extraordin- ary events. Tears will mingle with laughter but good fortune will rule. Children born on this day prob ably will be artistic, intellectual and widely popular Hospitality will be major joy among these Taurus folk

Arkansas Man
Is Indicted In
Peonage Case

Attorney General Francis Biddle
announced today that Federal
Grand Jury sitting at Little Rock,
Arkansas, returned a account in
dictment against Albert Sydney
Johnson. of Cross County. Arkan-
sas, charging him with violation of
the Federal statute prohibiting Pc
onage.
The ID victims included both
white and Negro sharecroppers and
laborers, and the indictment
charges that johnson so intimi-
dated the workers on his 2,000-acre
plantation that they slipped away
at night, leaving all their possess
sions and standing crops behind
them.
The indictment further charges
that Johnson bound workers to his
plantation by confiscating their RAJ
ton books and forcing them to pur-
chase food through his commissary
only and that he also refused to
accept money from workers to pay
off the debts they owned to him,
thus making it illegal under the
Arkansas statute for any other per-
son to employ them.
Neighboring landowners and Of
ficials, as well as the victims, COM
planned of Johnson's practices, and
the case was reported to the De-
partment of Justice by local Off
cial. Violation of the so-called
Peonage Statute, Section 444, Title
Is, U. S. Code, carries a maximum
penalty of a $4,000 fine and S years
Imprisonment, which means that if
convicted on all counts Johnson
would face a maximum penalty of
70 years imprisonment and $7O.-
900 fine.
Investigation of the case was con-
Quoted by the Federal Burea of
Investigation. 1t was presented to
the Grand Jury by u S. Attorney
Samuel Rorex, Assistant u. S. At
torney William H. Gregory, and
Turner L. Smith of the Criminal
Division of the Department of Jus
tice, and was under the supervis-
ion of Assistant Attorney General

Captain Praises
Crew On Liberty
Ship Robert Vann

Capt. John Codfray, master Of the
Liberty Ship Robert L. vann, car
prove beyond question that Negro
and white officers and seamen car
and will work together on mer.
chant vessels without friction. he
said at a press conference in the
New York City office of the Pres.
ident's Committee on Fair Employ.
ment Practice Monday, February
81.
AS a concrete illustration. he
cited the recent successful overseas
voyage of his ship. Full details OF
the voyage could not be revealed
for security reasons, but Captain
Godfray spoke enthusiastically OF
the fine work of the officers and
crew.
The ships first mate, Adolphus
Folkes, died of heart failure while
on the bridge, Captain Godfrey
said, and was buried at sea with
full honors, including a salute by
the ships Navy gun crew. AS a
result, the entire officer person
mel had to be advanced to fill the
vacancy.
Many Of the ships personnel thus
took over duties they had never
before assumed, the skipper ex-
planned, and it was their efficient
performance in this crisis that won
his warmest praise.
Never before, he said, had he
seen Negro and white officers and
men work together in such com
plete harmony.
Captain Godfray, veteran of %
years sea experience, was called
back to active service by the War
Shipping Administration early in
1943, after being in retirement for
ten years. Prior to his retire
ment, he had served as master OF
vessels of varying tonnage on Ca
ribbean runs for more than seven
years
Despite his long experience and
his possession of a masters license
however, Captain Godfray was un-
able for more than year to obtain
a command, apparently because iot
his race. y<r rv,srrr Il
The Presidents Committee or
Fair Employment Practice, in
formed of the situation, made ar
investigation. Subsequent negotia.
tons with the United Fruit Com.
pany resulted in the assignment Of
Captain Godfray to command the

THE e L O. AND THE NEGRO HERE IN JACKSON

On page of this paper reprint of an article writ

1914 issue of the Jackson Daily News and which

This article as welsas an ACCOMPANYING editorial in the
same 4sse Of the et II known in no uncertain
terms that Jackson owant nor will Jackson tolerate
this labor union.
The article goes on say that even if the c. l. O. labor
union wasslnited to white unions this would be calamity
for industry in Jackson And that the spirit of awlessness
ype the leader and organizers bodies no good for
industry for Jackson.
Further in the article pictures are shown Of the present
organizer here in Jackson and details of his criminal

other things the article also saws that it has re-
much capital to bring about the present industrial develop
ent and must not be destroyed placed in
jeopardy by lawless labor leaders, It says:
Wages paid Industrial workers here are in strict &C.
cordanceWh scales prescribed by the Labor Board
and working conditions satisfactory in all industrial
plants" ~ " 49,"
But perhaps the thing in this editorial written by Mr.
SulenSzW1oh should interest Negroes most is the statement
that two plants whose payros total than 81
600 per year right here jackson who employ nearly
1000 Negro labor have stated that they would rather shut
clown sthanetry to operate under c. l. 0. contracts
Now, it is the policy of paper to attempt to tell
Negroes where to work and for whom to work. but do
feel that all Negro employees of particular plants
others who without doubt feel the same should snend
thought this particular statement Closing either
of the plants mentioned this article would leave nearly
thousand Negroes of work this number multiplied
what calamity this organization could bring Negroes if
the plant did close down. And any instance if they didn't
close their plants when higher wages had to be paid we
be certain that the Negro workers would turned
