Churchill Draws
Censure Over
Delayed Reports

LONDON, July 5. tUP)-An an
nouncement in Commons that Prime
Minister Churchill had postponed
until Thursday a promised state
ment regarding the German flying
bomb attacks caused an uprOar
Tuesday in the house which For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden had
difficulty in quelling.
Conservative Sir Herbert williams
led the attack, pointing out that the
entire press over the weekend car
ried the governments promise of an
immediate statement and said the
"profoundest dissatisfaction will be
felt by those in the areas affected. =
Eden disagreed, however, with the
suggestion that the public would
be disturbed by the postponement.
The war cabinet considered this
carefully" he said, land concluded
that the statement should be made
Thursday, not because we wish to
withhold information. but because
Thursday we can make public more
information than now"

Making a critical analysis Of
the aims and purposes Of the Ne
gro press in its earlier years With
those of the present, the eminent
churchman, stated that the need
then was for news about his en-
shaved brother in America, no
less than is the need now for news
about his economic. social and
political prescription. 'The Negro
has thus come to regard himself
as somebody the bishop said,
"and this has been due to the I'M
relenting efforts Of the Negro
press. The. Negro press has forged
greater support to Negro business,
has created mounting racial
consciousness, and ii has brought
about a deeper respect on the
part of others for our thinking

Neither the committee nor the
bureau of the budget would of
fer any comment on the figures
contained in it since this is q
matter that is not revealed until
the President has approved the
estimates.
However, the knowledge that
FEPC will submit budget should
set at ease, for the moment, the
fears that rose when Sen. Russell
of Georgia introduced his amend
ment to the Independent Offices
bill requiring all executive agencies
in existence for year or mora to
come to congress for further funds
rather than receive them through
transfers from the Presidents spe-
cial funds.
1t is freely admitted here that
while there is large element in
congress who are sharpening their
knives for FEPC to eliminate the
agency completely, the statement
of Sen. Russell served only to arouse
a defense for the committee that
would have required ooher means.
The real threat lays in the re-
strictions which congress may i'm
pose upon the expenditure of the
funds it finally appropriates rath-
er than whether any money will be
at all.
The National Council for a Per-
FEPC was understood to
be reviewing its strategy with an
eye more to coping with the new
situation than with pressing Tor
passage of legislation.

FUNCTIONS OF THE NEGRO
PRESS OUTLINED

Rising TO the crescendo of the
moment, Bishop King challenged
the press to interpret Negro
genius, Negro hopes and intentions
to the body polite and in turn.
to interpret the body polite to
the soul and consciousness of the
Negro. Listing the major func-
tons of the Negro press, he then
called upon the press to stimulate
constructive thinking of the
group, tell this generation to be-
have themselves; tell them TO
cease taking charge of public
places, and public conveyances;
tell them to quit daggering and
cutting each other to death; tell
them to cease making these dives
places of murder for our people,
tell them that they are disgracing
the Negro race by their conduct,

them to quit telling our secrets on
streetcars and buses and other
public places when they engage
each other in conversation, .
shouted the bishop.
ASKS WAR ON RACE

II call upon the Negro press to
make unceaseiess war upon our
race subscribers, co-called race
leaders. My status as an Ameri-

place was bought by the blood and
suffering of our soldiers and cur
people in war and in peace. TAX

argument of certain white people

social equality in every effort they
make to better their economic

right to work and earn an honest
living And the South Carolina

should understand that all of the

years to stop Amalgamation be-

and their colOred women. We
don't want amalgamation he said
Ending, with scathing attack up
on the false theory of racial sup
eriority. the bishop said: 1T is
a racial dogma which is unscien-
tific ,undemocratic, un-Americar
and un-ChriStian, and I call up
on you to "snite 1t, smite it be-
