Political
Action

Chairman

OF the Political Action Committee
This is the last column be-
fore election day By the time
the next issue reaches the pub
lie the result of this election
will be determined. 1t will
be too late to alter them. 1t is
NOT too late now.
The registration this year
was gratifying. Now we must
get out the vote. The PAC
is making arrangements to
have literature distributed on
election eve, and have watch
ers in the booths on election
day, but the only thing that
can assure victory for the
workers in this years cleo
ton will be their own deter
mination to get out and vote.
If we win this years cleo
ton the process of translating
the social security program
and the postwar full employ
ment program into social
legislation can be put into
operation.
IF WE LOSE
If we lose the election this
year, a long and bitter strug-
gle to save the gains we have
already made will ensue and
it is doubtful how many of
these, including the right to
organize can be saved from
estruct | o n by anti-labor
regime.
An election such as this one
doesn't happen often. For the
whole issue of just and last
ing peace, with jobs for all as
opposed to isolationist policies
and scarcity of jobs is now
before our people.
PAC has made a study or
the candidates for most offices
in this years election and has
made endorsements b a sc d
upon a study of their labor
record and the program and
the policies of these candi-
dates.
The list of our endorsed
candidates appears on page 2
in this paper. In the interest
of social legislation we must
elect the candidates endorsed
by the PAC.
The election of PAC en-
dorsed candidates in this years
election is the only possible
assurance of the enactment of
social legislation which will
. make possible a lasting peace,
jobs for all, adequate social
security, protection of civil
liberties and a decent stand
ard of living for every Ameri-
can worker,

West, except to the govern
ment itself, has brought mixed
reaction and comment here in
Washington. While there has
undoubtedly been a growing
and serious shortage Of corn
supplies available for use Of
war Industries, and some ac-
ton to relieve the situation is
undoubtedly necessary, many
agricultural leaders are objec-
ting to this latest regimenta-
ton af American farmers.
Governments officials an
nounced that while corn prices
will not be increased from the
present ceiling of S1.16 per
bushel, fob. Chicago, allow
ances up to five cents per
bushel for shelling and pre-
pairing corn for shipment
from the farm will be granted.
This, of course is actually a
price increase or subsidy. Per-
haps the present dilemma in
corn could be more easily
solved by giving the old fash
oned law of supply and de-
nand a better opportunity to
junction. The freeze order on
corn sales does not apply to
Ohio where more corn is
usually consumed than pro-
duced.

Howard President Want Free
World, He Tells Ministers

Washington, Apr. lANP
Pr .sident Mordocai John
son Of Howard universit,
speaking at the public meet
tng Of the Washington bureau
of the Fraternal Council q
Negro churches on Tuesday
night, presented his views on
world affairs and the peace
and won the plaudits Of some
1900 persons gathered to
hear him speak.
Three weeks ago DR. John
son was endorsed by the Rap-
tist Pastors conference of Chi
cago as the likely Negro to be
presented at the peace table.
The endorsement was given
on the basis of his courage
to fittingly represent the
race" as well as his character
and foresight.
The Well-knoWn educator,
speaking in parable form, set
forth his views on four items.
I. He rejected isolationish
and favored a world organiza
ton.
2. He opposed imperialism
and favored self-government
for colonial peoples.
8. He rejected war as a
means of settling interna-
tional disputes.
4. He demanded a demon
stration of trust by the
United States by doing for the
Negro in this country what
ought to be done for the In
dams, the Africans, the Phil
ippinos and others Z
What we want is a world
that will set all men free he
declared. when this war is
over, we want Uncle Sam to
stay in until it is really over
DR.. Johnson could not be
sure that, without the aid Of
the United States, others of
our allies would mete justice
to the colored peoples Of the
world. He called for an end
to "exploitation of human life

occasion to insist that here in

He anticipates that unless

Auto Injuries
Armada Man
Edward HeIbers, 81
Seriously Hurt

ARMADA - Edward Helberg
age 81, of 2l04 Church street
was taken to st. Joseph Hos
pital Mount Clemens in critical
condition Monday at AIS p. m.
after being struck by an auto
mobile while crossing Fulton
street, at Main street.
Helberg was hit by a car driv-
en- by Charles w. Rugenstein,
IS, of the ONO road, according to
the report of Marshal Earl Robb.
Passers-by found it necessary
to lift the auto and move it be-
fore aid could be given to the
injured man.
His injuries included broken
leg, head and collar bone in
juries, crushed chest and a
possible punctured lung.
Marshal Robb said witnesses
reported Rugenstein was driving
properly through green light,
and that Helberg apparently did
not see the car approaching.
An unfortunate aspect of the
accident was that Helberg's
wife and son, Gordon, with 9TH
er relatives, had left town over
the weekend to visit .Helberg's
other son, Leroy, in a Texas
army camp.
They were notified by tele-
gram Monday evening and were
seeking plane reservations for

have shown particular inter-

there are two varieties on the

brought US two samples of the
Big Mosquito and one sample
of the Small Mosquito-proper-

of paper. There's a distinct diff
ference between them, and may
be someone can explain the phe-
nomenon, if such it is We
do know this, that mosquitoes
have been so bad this year that
many people have been forced
to leave the beaches, and more
than one long planned boat par
