Washington. July 21-lAP)
Southern tobacco men stayed
on the offensive today in their
fight for higher prices denied
them by the Office of Economic
Sterilization.
Although Director Fred NJ.
Ninson announced that rejection
of demands for increased cell

fluc-cured crop growers and
WarehouSemen refused flatIy to
back down and called for help
from at least two governors.
Vinson upheld late yesterday the
recently announced ceiling of 80
cents a pound for loose, ungradcd,
tobacco, and 49, cents for graded
and tied leaf.

provided Scant profit margins.
The tobacco men, led by II, L..

step would be an appeal 70 Governor
BrouGhton of North Carolina and

History Of
: Negro Noted
In February
, ByLT. CASTINE A. DAVIS

Our nation IS engaged IN
gigantic global conflict. Mod
ern warfare consumes materlel
so vastly and so staggering a
number of human lives is de-
stroyed that a nation in war IS
compelled to mobilize every
able-bodied man and woman,
every available dollar, and
every atom of energy. 1t is
therefore fitting and proper
that we pay respect to Amer
fcas largest minority compon-
ent by observing the annual Ma
tional Negro History Week,
falling in February.
Negroes belong to an ancient and
noble group. It was among black
men that civilization actually be-
gan! Many scientists, artists, war
riors, and educators of renown are
Negroes. For the information of
many people who would not other
wise learn of the Negroes achieve
ments and contribution to civiliza-
ton, the annual National Negro
History Week was inaugurated
The very first American soldier to
fall in the present war was Pvt.
Roberts Brooks in the Philippines,
"a Negro, after whom Brooks Field, y
the main field at Fort Knox, Ken
lucky, was named. The outstanding
hero at Pearl Harbor was the in
trepid Negro messman, Dorie Miller,
who manned a machine gun against
Jap planes although he had never
before fired machine gun. Miller
