NEW YORK, Jan. 2O-Leaders OF
industry, Government and the
armed services would like to make
certain America is never again
caught short by the sudden on
slaught of war. E
The latest proposal, that the
armed services and industry team
to keep this country forever pre-
pared and equipped with the latest
In weapons, came last night from
Charles E. Wilson, vice chairman of
the War Production Board and
former president of General Elec-
trio.
1t dovetailed with the suggestion
Of Secretary of the Navy Knox that
compulsory military training be a
postwar project, and with industry
outlines Of plans for postwar stock
piles of raw materials vital for war.
Mr.. Wilson. in an address capping
a series of similarly aimed speeches
before the annual meeting of the
Army Ordnance Association, urged
that the Nation maintain at all
times leadership in the technical
and operational superiority Of the
implements of war"
Barrier to Aggression.
Should the world know that we
were in that position, that we were
determinedly keeping the fires Of
scientific and developmental effort
burning, and that we were ready
to shift our industry quickly to the
production Of these thoroughly
tested and proven superior weapons,
the probabilities of another Mus
solini, Hitler or TOTO undertaking
to conquer the world will be much
more remote" he declared.
Rear Admiral George F. Hussey,
IT,, new chief Of the Naval Ord
nance Bureau, commented that the
Nation must regard the years to
come mot as postwar years but
as prewar years"
Mai. Gen. L. H. Campbell, jr.,
Army chief of ordnance, urged
maintenance Of "our industrial su-
premacy." Gen. Campbell. Admiral
w. H. p. Blandy, former naval chief
of ordnance, and Industrialist Tom
M. Girdler were honored with cita-
tions for their parts In the war
effort.
Gen. Campbell's comments. along
with those Of earlier speakers, par
alleled Mr.. Wilson's declaration
that
We should henceforth mount our
national policy upon the solid fact
of an industrial capacity for war,
and a research capacity for war
anything less is foolhardy."
Urges Complete Preparedness.
Mr.. Wilson said he was aware
sentiments such as these have ira
ditionally been met by the cry Of
'warmonger' and answered:
II am convinced that had our
country possessed this type of setup,
it would have been the most effect
i've insurance against the Pearl Har-
Dor attack. What I am here pre-
senting Is the harnessing of the
technology and the science Of the
services and OF industry-for COM
plete preparedness"
I'VE are in world politics to stay,
whether we like it or not" he COM
mented.
Mr.. Wilson added that he did not
advocate large armed forces, but
only a nucleus OF men trained in the
operation Of the newst weapons.
Il am not proposing a doctrine Of
aggression and brutality" Mr.. Will
son asserted, simply realistic
point Of view. that the tendency to

SMALL NEGRO GROUP SEEKS
SEGREGATED CENTER

PORTLA ND, Ore, Nov. IL
(ANP)-Portland's mayor Riley
wondered as he listened to a small
group of Negroes headed by George
Streator of the War Production
board headquarters in Washington,
blast democratic practices of toler-
ance and propose instead COM
plete jimcrow program of retro
gression. Attending the meeting al
so were the Rev. and Mrs. J. James
Glow, Mrs. Julia Smith and Ange-
10 Herndon.
Calling for complete segregation,
Streator stamped Negro integra-
tionists as being "emotional and
inconsistent"
Angered over Streator's sharp
remarks about Negro minister's at
tempts to understand labor issues,
Rev. Glow took violent issue and en-
barrassed the government official
and all his followers by laboring
them as "undemocratic and in dis
cord with the NAACP platform. P"
Favoring the erection of jim
crow city recreation center, Streat-
or called those who opposed the
idea, "obstructionists." Aggressive
Portland Negroes were startled to
learn that there were colored cit
izens in the audience who agreed
with the government man. One man
said that the segregated center
would do a lot of good as Negroes
in certain sections in the city
amused themselves by drinking and
gambling only.
When Mayor Riley was called to
arbitrate the matter, this small
group was advised that Portland
had never exercised the practice OF
segregation and never will.

JURY frees GUARD
WHO KILLED WORKER

LOS ANGELES, Nov. Fl (ANP)
Mason, white, a guard at
the Calship shipyard, here, was
freed by coroner's jury Of the
killing of Gerald B. Edwards, an
18-year-old shipyard worker, on a
verdict Of justifiable homicide.
Edwards Staying is said to have
climaxed an argument between him
and the white guard who fired a
bullet almost point blank into Ed
wards stomach. Edwards died in
stantly.
According to Miss Hildegrade
Crezier, a colored shipyard worker
who was near the murder scene,
white workers Immediately began
denouncing the guard for his un-
warranted use Of a deadly weapon
against an unarmed boy. Only Ma
sons threat to shoot them saved
him from being mobbed before the
police arrived.
The shipyard guard attempted to
justify his violence by declaring to
police that Edwards had attempt
ed to attack him when he refused
to let Edwards leave the yard be-
fore his shift was over. He fired the
first shot into the ground, he said,
only turning the gun on Edwards
when he continued to advance
Mason's story was contradicted
by eye-witnesses. They report that
Edwards was not leaving the prem
ises from his superiors. A wave of
Indignation followed the Staying,
which follows closely on the heels
Of similar recent killing of a Ne
gro defense worker by a federal
guard at Riverside.
Since the federal guard was con-
victed and sentenced to prison, the
concensus here is that Mason
should have received the same pun
ishment. Edwards was one of the
workers who built the SIS Booker
T. Washington and SIS James We'll
don Johnson, two ships named in
honor Of Negro leaders.

him if the party is to go places.
 Governor Warren was the key- noter and temporary chairman of the convention, and generally thought to be Dewey's first choice as vice. presidential nominee, if he'll take 1t. California's reluc- tance to release the governor at this time under no circumstances means that he is through as a na- tional political figure, even if he should turn down the vice-pres- idential nomination. There are years of good public service ahead of him.
 The other 25 Republican gover- nors now in office form a nucleus of younger leaders coming up in the party, experienced politically and able to take administrative jobs in federal government as their state terms expire.
 Gov. John Bricker of the Buck eye State becomes a politician out of job if he gains no place on the national ticket, but he is cab met material, as are Gov. Dwight Griswold of Nebraska, Dwight Green of Illinois, Leverett Salton- stall of Massachusetts, and others ! who were given some considera- tion for vice-presidential nom- nations.
 Of the congressman, house min- ority leader Joe Martin of Mass achusetts, the conventions per- manent chairman, has the stuff 1t takes to make Speaker of House that is already Republican in majority but will not take the reins or seize the power. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois got @ little too big for his britcheS in aspir- ing to the Presidency this year, but lot more of this same get up-and-go is just what the Grand Old Party needs.
