and consideration. The danger
/ will be especially great if there
is any extensive unemployment
after the war. The methods police
use to handle their end of this
problem will go far toward de-
termining whether the inevitable
changes are made peacefully or
whether they are accompanied by
civil strife"
The report recognizes "difficul-
ties and limitations under which
police operate in such situations,
and points out that "the police
usually are blamed if trouble
breaks out" even though they
cannot control or solve the basic
causes of antagonism between
groups.
But in every community" the
report adds, police impartiality
is particularly important In the
handling of tense situations or
clashes between members of diff
ferent racialy. religious or ma
tional groups (and) ID the
only basis on which the police
can expect the cooperation OF all
groups in the prevention Of dis
order"
Police forces of several cities,
including Washington. d. c..
Flint, Mich. Houston. Tex, Pas
sale, N. j., and New York City,
did magnificent jobs in main
tanning order or in minimizing
outbreaks that did occur during
the period of high race tension
in the summer of 1913, the re-
port said, and described expert
ences of these cities in preventa-
tive policing in tense interracial
which might be useful
to other cities if similar situa-
tons should arise.

The name of the place and of

witness should be secured. Your
report should be made in writing

advice given you by the NAACP.
In the event suit is started, by

NAACP to take the lead and to
map out the course of action.
AS Americans we must be
willing to contend and fight
Qegally) for our rights as citi-
zens and use every lawful and
available means to secure them.
Real good Americans cannot af-
ford to allow these attempts at
discrimination to go by unchal-
lenged. If these conditions, now
existing. are allowed to continue
without opposition, in a few years
Seattle will be as bad as Atlanta,
Georgia or Birmingham, Ala

People of both races, coming
to Seattle from the South will
have to leave behind them some
of the customs of the places from
which they came. The purpose
of this article is to arouse Ameri-
cans of color to a point where
they will place a higher value
upon their rights as American
citizens.

RACIAL CLASHES

Continued from page y
Wilmette, Ill. The report is
based on analyses of action
taken by police forces of 80
cities during recent tense racial
situations and on the ideas and
comments of many police ana
other municipal officials.
Pointing out that deaths and
injuries, extensive property de-
struction, and severe damage 10
public morale are virtually m
eyitable in large-scale disorder,
the report calls for a positive"
police program aimed at improy-
ing in group relationships,
which will have as its by-product
the elimination of riots, and
makes constructive, practical
suggestions on preventative polio
ing in the field of interracial re
lationships. Emphasis is placed
on police technigues for prevent
ing riots and improving relations
between different groups.
1.-THE vast population move
ments during the war have
created problems that gravely
threaten widespread civil dis
order in the near future and in
early postwar years" the report
said.
New job opportunities fol
members of minority groups, the
competition among workers for
war-scarce consumer goods, hous-
ing; transportation, recreation
these and others factors may
lead to increased antagonism be-
tween racial, religious or ma
tional groups.
such a situation in a COM
may result in serious dis
orders if not handled with care

American citizens and that as
American citizens, our behavior
and conduct should be above
que ion. Boistrousness and
rowdyism must be far from the
domain in which we live and
move. There is no excuse for
being unelean in person or cloth
ing. There are cases where lines
of demarcation are drawn be-
cause of a persons cleanliness
or lack of cleanliness. An unclean
person of any race is objection
able. Cleanliness can rightfully
be expected at all times and from
all people.
When we have satisfied our
selves that we have measured up
to these simple rules, then there
should be no hesitancy in expect
ing to enjoy every right which
justly belongs to American citi-
zens. If an attempt is made to
segregate you or discriminate
against you under the circum-
stances related above, you should
first be sure that you are being
Disseminated against. You should
make a report of same to the
office of the NAACP, stating
clearly what happened. at what
time it happened and the address
of the place where it happened.

Church Leader Halls
Methodists' Shift 10
Stand Backing War
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, May 5.-The re-
treat Of the Methodist Church from
its antiwar position is viewed by
DR.. Lynn Harold Hough, dean of
Drew University, Madison, N. j., as
a defeat for the lads who believe
that if you smile long enough you'll
get a smile back"
The 66-year-old educator who
helped lead the movement to scrap
the stand against support, indorse-
ment or participation in war, said
in an interview the shift may change
the "history of pacificism that has
confused the churchs young people
50 that they don't know how to act
in time of war"
Called Significant STEP"
1t is zone of the most significant
steps the church has taken in the
past Is years." DR.. Hough asserted.
BY adoption of a resolution yes
terday, the General Conference held
that God Himself has a stake in
this war;" and committed the church

to active support Of the Allied
cause.
I'VE are well within the Christian
position when we assert the neces-
sity of the use of military forces to
resist an aggression which would
overthrow every right which is held
sacred by civilized men," the reso-
luton stated.
DR.. Hough said he resents "paci-
fists who by their teachings have
put our youth in an impossible posi-
ton while they themselves remain
aloof from the conflict, yet ready
like a delightfully."- irresponsible but
terfly to f1utter in to dictate the
terms of peace"
Sees Move Aiding Chaplains.
The new declarations should be
welcomed by Methodist chaplains,
DR.. Hough said, because from now
on they can say to their men Our
church is with you. 1t is praying
for your success
The conference devoted the entire
day to debate on the resolution,
which was adopted by the narrow
margin of one vote of the minis
terial delegates. The lay delegates
voted, 203 to 131, for adoption,
while the ministerial vote was ITO
to 169. The resolution required a
ma jority of each group for adoption.

 TT ypes or Penalties"
Taxpayers Given Advance Warming on What to Expect if Declaration of Estimated Income

farmers, 66 2-3 peri cen of the tax). In making this comparison and computing the penalty, 1t should be remembered that the taxpayer will be given the full benefit of all the credits to which he is entitled for tax withheld from his wages during the year. Accordingly, the estimate on the declaration will be revised by the Bureau of Internal Revenue to equal the total of the estimated tax'' plus the withhold ing credits. It will be compared with 30 per cent of the tax liability or 66 2-3 per cent of the tax liability in the case of farmers) to ascertain whether or not there has been an underestimate subject to penalty; if so, it will then be compared with the tax liability itself to determine the amount of the shortage on which the per cent penalty is to be based.
 If taxpayer fails to file a re- Quired declaration and later files a return with tax liability, the dif- ference between the tax reported and the withholding tax, will be the basis for determining if there has been substantial underestimate.
 The penalty for understanding tax will not be imposed for the year in which occurs the death of tax payer.
 If 1914 declaration filed in April, June or September, 1944 is later disclosed to be erroneous, 1t may be revised as late as December IS, 1914, by filing an amended declara- tion, marked Amended" with the same collector with whom the original declaration was filed. If 1t is anticipated prior to the date a declaration is first dueS that un- foreseen transactions affecting in- come may occur after December IS and before the end of the year, the penalty for understanding tax may readily be avoided by comput- ing the estimated tax, when filing the declaration, by using last years income and this years trates and exemptions, and making quarterly payments of the resulting tax on time.
 By reasonable care, taxpayers may so calculate their current in- stallments of income tax payments that only minor year-end adjust ments in the way of refund or ad- ditional payment will be necessary when the regular income tax re- turn is filed after the close of the year, and the tax liability will be very largely paid of in the year when the income is received.

Adequate Apparatus
 Industry Safeguard
Public Administrators Urged to Replace Worn Out or
 Obsolete Bumpers and Ladder Trucks

paratus of the regularly organized fire departments which must be depended upon to prevent destruc- ton to the industries still vital to the winning of the war. It is this apparatus which must be used to save the lives of people crowded into hotels, apartments, tenementS and houses, and those in industries working under less than the normal safe conditions.
 Even before the present emer- gency 1t was well recognized that much of the fire apparatus - the bumpers and ladder trucks - was becoming obsolete. It was built be- fore experience could eliminate un- desirable features of design or ma terial. It was becoming more dif1i- cult and more expensive to main tain it. And, of even greater tm- portance, few cities had the desir- able amount of reserve apparatus.
 Restrictions on the manufacture and sale of modern fire apparatus have been materially reduced. To- day is the time to take action to properly protect lives and property. This years budget should include liberal allowance for bumpers and aerial ladder trucks, for hose, for gas masks, salvage covers, modern spray nozzles, and the many other pieces of equipment which a mod ern department needs Thought should be given also to adding to and YnodnrniZinp the fire alarm SVS. tenn.
 Some of these may still be re- stricted, and probably none of them can be obtained on an lover the counter" delivery basis. This makes it all the more important that or- ders be placed now, for delivery at an early date.

New York, April 14-Pointing out that it is of utmost importance to prevent the destruction by fire of lives and industries vital to win- ming the war, the National Board of Fire Underwriters has urged pulp lie administrators to make provisions for obtaining new fire fighting ap- paratus to replace that which has been worn out or become obsolete.
 With the needs of the armed forces having been supplied, the board said that restrictions on the manufacture and sale of modern fire apparatus have been materially re- duced. While apparatus and equip ment cannot yet be obtained on an lover the counter" basis the board recommends that municipal budgets include allowance for replacements and additions and that orders be placed now for delivery at an early date.
 These recommendations are con- tained in a special bulletin which has been sent to public officials. fire department officers and others interested in municipal fire pro- lection. The bulletin follows:
 '"The war is not over. This should be a daily admonition to every American, but particularly to those citizens whose duty 1t Is, as public administrators, to provide for the fire service of our cities and towns.
 with the imminent danger of fires from bombing there was the usual panicky urge in all parts of the country for more fire apparatus. This of necessity was restricted and until the needs of the armed forces could be met few communities could obtain fire apparatus.
 "This imminent danger is past, but the need for new apparatus in the fire department of cities and towns is just as great now as dur ing that period. It is the fire ap-

 Despite the many calls upon his time, his life here is lonely one. Mrs. Winant is in the United States, one son is in the Marine Corps and the other, a bomber pilot, is a prisoner in Germany. In the Ambassadors living room are photographs of the President and the Prime Minister as well as generals and admirals, but family pictures hold the places of honor.
 Although born in New York City, he regards himself as 8 New Englander, for he lived in New Hampshire, enlisted from that state as flyer during the last war, and served as it's governor for three terms.
 Ambassador Winant often has been likened to Lincoln, having much the same ruggedness and kindliness. But in his eyes there is seer-like look reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe-and like Poe he has an uncanny prophetic sense. He foresaw Germany's at- tack upon Russia and to make cer- tain that he would be with the Prime Minister when this occurred he flew the Atlantic in a plane with a dud engine.
