FurIoughed Men

WASHINGTON, July 25. up
The Office of Price Administration
Tuesday made effective a new sy5-
TEN of portioning out gasoline to
seryicemen on leave or furlcugh.
Under the new plan, servicemen
who receive leave or furlough fol
three days or more will be allowed
one gallon Of gasoline for each day,
up to a maximum Of 80 gallons
This ccntraais with the previous
plan under which serVicemen re-
ceiyed a flat five gallons regardless
of the length of their leave OPA
said the old plan was unfair" be-
cause it gave more gasoline to a
seryiceman who got many short
leaves than to man who received
one long leave such az a soldier re-
turned to the United States.

That Chicago Meeting

of the kind. AS member of the
Republican National Committee,
we are happy to get every kind OF
Republican that will come and
work with us to redeem the party
from this awful Democratic mess
into which our President and his
associates have thrown us. For, I
am one of those who just do not
think that Democrats can success
fully run this government, as 1t
seems that every time they get in
power we have war, smallpox, yell
low fever, starvation, initiation, or
damnation.
The facts as to the Chicago meet
ing were these: Cd This was pure
" an informal group of Republic
can men and women who were
there solely by the invitation OF
eadh other and not by election
CD I had been advised by Mr..
George w. Lawrence that Mr.. r. r..
Church had suggested Mr.. Edward
Henry for the chairman. Together
with others, I suggested to Judge
Henry that he be present and pur-
suant to that understanding vot-
ed for him, even after he had UNI
fortunately brought down the dis
pleasure of the house upon him be-
cause of his rulings. I did this be-
cause of my effort to be consistent
with my promise, which every indi-
vidual must do in politics If he
would be liked 90 If Mr.. Church
had been suggested at first, would
have voted for him. Fortunately he
was not. There was no other candl-
date for the position of chairman.
"a Any statement that the Elks
were trying to run the meeting or
that j. Finley Wilson and / had
any pet candidate is wholly with
out foundation 60 AS to the story
that there was a lineup of the "old
guard against the newcomers,
this is ridiculous for the reason that
the Official roster of officers is made
up of what an intelligent person
would call the "old guard"
Let us see. There is Mr.. Church,
campaign manager under Will Hays
in 1920; George w. Lawrence, con-
ciliator, active politically for twen-
ty years: Edward W. Henry, poll
tically active for over thirty
wears; Mrs. Grace Evans and
Mrs. Eunice Carter, both veterans
in the game; Charles w. Anderson,
who has been member of the Leg
islature of Kentucky for four terms
Lawrence Payne, veteran of many
POLITICAL wars; and DR.. John T.
Fisher, who was a lieutenant back
in the days of the late Colonel Hen
ry Lincoln Johnson.
THE misleading statements by
the press came from the fact that
they misunderstood a little shadow
boxing by some of our young fell
lows who were having a good time
and gave the appearance of an in
ternecine battle.
1--WE all worked on the same Res
olutions Committee, EXCHANGED
views. expressed our combined iud-
pment, conferred with our friend
Bob, the chairman, Lawrence the
secretary, Henry. treasurer, and left
in one united drive.

No Diversions And
No Divisions
BY o. Z. McKAINE

COLUMBIA. S. C. = l(SNS) -
The temptation is great to COM
ment at length upon the inffam-
matory speech that Representative
John D. Long, a politician repre-
senting Union County, made III
the House last week. However as
most of the intelligent white press
has already taken him severely
to task and the Negro Citizens
Committee has already written
blistering open letter to him, we
turn to things more important.
In parenthesis however, we can
readily guess one Of the chief
reasons for this speech. 1t was the
success of the suit for equal sala-
ries. The very liberal and fair
minded Columbia Record had re-
peatedly warned the authorities
that if the Negroes brought suit
they would win it and that a deci-
sion in their favor would upset
completely the system of state
