ored speakers and came away
with pronounced praise and en-
thuSiasm. They fairly raved over
the brilliant speech of Hon.
Marshall L. Shepard, Recorder
of Deeds, in his ringing reply to
Clare Booth Luce. Never before
had Mccormack or Tobin. ex-
perienced such a memorable as
ISOLATION with colored leaders in
Boston. While Curley is an
"old hand" at such meetings,
Mccormack had not been able to
make such vital contacts in the
past and has not been so well
known to colored voters. This
is equally true of Governor
elect Maurice Tobin. The Situa-
ton has now happily changed,
all for the best. And DR.. SilaS F.
Taylor deserves a lions share of
the credit.
GOOD REPUBLICANS
Since the Republicans also
scored, notably with a victory for
Senator SaltonStall and 1t. GOV.
Robert F. Bradford, 1 believe
Atty. Irwin T. Dorch rates am
pie applause for his arduous eff
forts in the campaign. Since this
was a Democratic sweep" it
was indeed remarkable that any
COP. candidates made the
grade at all. The cards we're
stacked against our popular
Larry Banks as well as other
good COP. standard BEARERS.
Nevertheless many colored vot-
ers went to all three. With COL
ored citizens SaltonStall has
always been a huge favorite;
and especially so with colored
army men. He has had good
contacts with our people through
able colored assistants, among
them Colonel LAKELAND Hewitt

ford is a clean-cut straight
shooter, also Of old Yankee
stock. I met Bradford the night
he won the COP. nomination
and he told me he appreciated
the colored voters who had |
helped him along. So Mr.. Dorch |
also has reason to smile.
'DEMS" MISSED CHANCE
Obviously the forces of DR.. |
Taylor now stand In line for
some sort of reward well above |
a five-cent cigar or a cheap
chicken dinner. The proverbial
pat on the head and all the
beer you can drink era of politi-
cal awards usually reserved for
colored leaders, will no longer
fit the bill for either the MeSsrs
Taylor and Dorch or their many
helpers. Therefore your old

nation Of political-plumS, a
strange fruit" indeed to most
colored political workers here in
the Bay State. 1t is my honest
opinion that If the 'Dems" had
given Taylor a strongly sup
ported colored candidate this
year he would have been swept
into office. We suggest that the
local Democratic Party support
Taylor with less talk and more
candidates here in the Bay
State. With the backing of Nc
Cormack, Curley, Tobin and the
PAC it seems most obvious that
a qualified Boston colored Dem
could easily have been swept
into office with Roosevelt last
week. It is up to the party big
wigs to help BoSton's DR.. Tay-
lor put over local candidates
with as much zest as they sup
ported his now, historic Hub
rallies.
DID GOOD JOB
COP. Director Dorch has
made good gains locally even
though his national choice was
defeated. This fact should not
be forgotten by his party. There
is no doubt that in the split
ballots last week the colored vote
went heavily for Senator Salton-
stall and Lieut. Governor Brad
ford. Moreover Dorch supported
the only colored Boston candi-
date who polled a good vote in
spite of the defeat. The fact
that the COP. ran a colored
Boston candidate and the Demo
Gratis did not, is of itself chal-
lenge to the New Deal victorS
that they have plenty of work
to do hereaboutS before they
start any Boosting. If, as some
believe, Tobin next moves to
Washington, he will be succeed
ed by Bradford, without a doubt.
Senator SaltonstalI will be a
good friend to have in
Washington and Curley as May
Or of Boston has always been
a top favorite and UMPIRE
JUDGED in his appointments.
Politically as~the cards are now
stacked, Messrs Taylor and
Steele should retain their ca
oacity to bring many more bene-
Its to our people. They can do
so provided they use wisdom,
patience and foresight. And in
stead of harboring any political
grudges, all three should be CIV
n a public party in appreciation
or the good they achieved. This
S the genuine American Way.
Ind we believe we echo the res
'onse Of mos tvoters in saying
hat each did a very good Job.

Also reported killed in action in
the Mediterranean area was Sergt
George W. Ash, whose widow, Mrs.
Gladys Ash, lives in Warrenton, Va.
According to the Associated Press
dispatch, the attack on Mount Por-
CHA, one of the heights guarding
the approaches to Casino, started
January 4.
Two days later an American unit
attempted to move part way up the
mountain, but was forced to with
draw under intense enemy mortar
and machine gun fire.
1t was then that Capt. Fisher was
reported to have stood up before his
detachment and shouted, I'm going
up that mountain" He started up
with his men right behind him.
They battled their way through
enemy machine gun nests straight
to the objective.
The men who were left dug into
positions and quickly prepared to
stave off attacks-which
came that night, with the Germans
striking both from the ridge and
the lower slopes.
Maj. Thomas W. Hoban, Cleve-
land, Ohio, said the enemy was re-
ported to have 5-to-1 superiority

even though heavy artillery fire had
decimated the ranks of the Nazis
defending battalion.
Capt. Fishers men were forced
down from the ridge in the first
rush of the enemy and had to crawl
into rocky inches on the ledges
below, but after seven hours of fight
ing they climbed back and were
never dislodged.
A War Department telegram to
Capt. Fishers parents, MIR. and Mrs
Frank c. Fisher, 6112 Forty-second
avenue, Hyattsville, said he was
wounded that night.
A native of Birmingham, Ala,
Capt. Fisher came to Hyattsville
with his family in 1923. After at
tending elementary and high school,
in Hyattsville, he was graduated
from the University of Maryland in
1885.
While at the university he was
enrolled in the ROTC, in which he
became a second lieutenant. He also
was member of Company F., Mary

THAT Women Extend
Community Interests

Stating that women are faced with
an increasing obligation to meet the
problems of the wartime community,
Mrs. Roosevelt last night warned
against their becoming too engrossed
with their personal difficulties"
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke at the How
ard University Chapel In program
on Finer Womanhood Week" which
is being sponsored at the university
by the local chapter Of Zeta Phi
Beta. national honor society.
Many women are struggling with
smaller. incomes, the higher cost of
living and keeping their children In
hand when the men go of to war" +"
she declared. while doing these
personal things they must remember
to take their place in the community
in this time Of great stress"
Pointing to the intensification OF
juvenile delinquency as a result OF
the war, Mrs. Roosevelt cited crowd
ed living conditions and lack OF
recreational facilities as two impor-
tant contributing factors.
Children need to work OH excess
energy in wholesome recreation, she
said, adding that much of what we
call Juvenile delinquency is nothing
in the world but good health and
good spirits which must be directed
and controlled"
Mrs. Roosevelt reiterated her be-
lief that all high school graduates
should give year of service to
their country to be divided between
military and community service.
| Stating that girls, as we'll as boys,
should be included in such a pro-
gram. she pointed out that they
might be trained during that period
in nutrition, sanitation, child psy-
chology and care of the home.

A UNITED STATES FIGHTER
BASE SOMEWHERE IN ENG
LAND, Feb. 23-Col. Kenneth R..
Martin, q, of Kansas City, a veteran
Pearl Harbor fighter pilot and COM
mander Of the first of the American
Mustang fighter groups which went
into action against the Nazis a
few weeks ago, was shot down over
Germany on February II while
leading bomber escort in a raid
on Frankfurt.
AS yet there has been no positive
report on his fate.
Col. Martins plane collided with
a twin-engined Messerschmitt
fighter about five miles in the air
and was last seen spinning down out
of control. although it was believed
possible Col Martin could have
bailed out to safety.
Col. Martin led the new high
altitude, long-range Mustangs on
their secret trial missions last De-
cember and always insisted-despite
the fact that he held a high execu-
tive post-on personally leading
hard and difficult missions.
Col. Martins place has been taken
by Maj. James H. Howard of St.
Louis, known as the "one-man air
force" who battled 80 Nazi fighters
single-handed last January IL.
Howard, who was one of Col. Mar
tins squadron commanders and who
also is veteran Pacific fighter pilot,
has been promoted to the rank of
lieutenant colonel. His squadron
