LESTER GRANGER APPRE-
HENSIVE OVER CREATION OF
INTERRACIAL COMMITTEES
WASHINGTON, ID, C. (NNPAl

WASHINGTON, d. G. (NNPA).
Apprehension over the possibility
that the creation of "interracial
committees" may lull too many
American communities into false
sense of security was expressed by
Lester B. Granger, executive secre-
tary of the National Urban League,
in an article in the November issue
of Survey Graphic.
While the mere existence of more
than one hundred recently formed
interracial committees or commits
sions indicates "a new and impress
sive concern" on the part of the
American public, Granger saws,
community leadership is still fum-
bling with various techniques in a
new and comparatively untried
field of efforts.
According to Granger, many of
these committees have been power
less to take any positive action,
largely because they have been
without legislative status, and have
had no funds with which to oper-
ate. Almost as serious, he says, is
the fact that while such groups are
deeply interested in community
problems, they have neither the
time nor the resources with which
to do an effective job.
Voluntary committees, states the
author, show greater promise of
success, largely because they are
'1east inhibited by official red tape
and free to engage in experiment. "
But there is always the danger that
such groups, in an excess of en-
thusiasm may in the long run add
to already existing confusion. The
American community is justified in
its alarm over increasing racial
tension, but to date we have devel-
oped no large-scale, organized pro-
cedures for measurably reducing
this tension, Granger warns.

Secrecy ShrOuds
Sky Thrust into
Albanian Hills

ROME, Sept. % - Up - The
Allied command today remained
silent on progress of the invasion
of Albania and the Islands off
the Dalmatian coast of Yugo-
slavia by air and sea, a move
designed to squeeze some 2OO,-
900 remaining Nazis on Hitler's
crumbling Balkan flank.
At last reports, the airborne
troops were operating on a wide
front in Albania, and these OPP
erations probably represented
the first phase of the final pinch
of the Germans between the
coast and the advancing Rus
slams in the east.
The line of German retreat
from southeastern Europe runs
through mountainous country,
studded with strongpoints OF
bitter Yugoslav and Albanian
partisans attacking with ever
increasing vigor.
The landings were made by
seaborne and airborne forces OF
"the land forces of the Adriatic
and Berlin acknowledged that
they were made from Albania
all along the whole Dalmatlan
coast" lying to the north. The
German radio claimed the forces
were meeting with fierce Nazl
resistance.
