because-there was on the staff one
individual who objected to her be-
ing employed.
Mrs. Mildred Daniels, who was
until recently employed as Secre-
tary to Douglas Hall, attorney, has
Clerk-Stenographer. On June 5,
1914, she was sent by the Civil
Service Commission to the OPA, in
terviewed and promised that she
would be called if needed. On July
ID, 1914, she was interviewed at
the National Labor Relations Of
fee by a Mr.. Shields who had a
request on file for stenographic
workers. A Mrs. DeCharles gave
her an application blank to fill out
and return and thus their need for
stenographers ended. On July 10,
1914, she was also sent to Camp
Savage where the officer in charge
observed that her qualifications
were "too good" for the job to be
done there. He agreed to let her
know if he could use her, placing
her application on file. On July Is,
1914, a trip to the Chicago. Ord
nance was made in compliance to
the usual Civil Service referral pro-
cedure, her application was "coolly
accepted to be put on file"-On
July 16 she was advised by Miss
O,Donnell that there were no more
requests for secretarial workers. On
June 80 an application was filled
with the Quartermasters Depart
ment of the Army Air Corps with
Mr.. Paulos.
An appeal was made to the State
Director of the War Manpower
Commission in the interest of these
two women-no results to date.
Mrs. Daniels case is being referred
to the FEPC and National La
Dor Relations Office. Incidentally,
Mrs. Daniels is a Vice President
of the United Office Workers and
Professional Workers Union and a
delegate to the Hennepin County
Council to which this matter is
also to be referred.

Roosevelt Will
Run IF Nominated,
Serve If Elected

washington, ~. u. NBy
Wire) - eff the convention
should . nominate me for
the presidency, I shall accept.
If the people elect me, l will
serve" With these long
awaited words, President Roose-
welt disclosed to a breathless news
conference today his position on the
fourth term.
His statement was contained in a
letter to Robert Hannegan, chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee, who had written the
President advising him that on the
basis of official certifcations to the
National committee more than a
majority of the delegates to the
convention are legally bound by the
action of their constituents to cast
their ballots for his nomination as
President of the United States.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that he,
like the soldiers and officers in the
army, has his superior officer
"The people of the United States. +"
81 would accept and serve, but I
would not run, in the usual parti-
san, political sense. But if the
people command me to continue in
this office and in this war, I have
as little right to withdraw as the
soldier has to leave his post in the
line," he said.
From a personal point of view,
the President made it clear that
he does not want to run. He said
his thoughts have turned to the
time when he could return to civil
life and go back to his home on the
Hudson river.
But" he said, 1--WE of this gen.
Grafton chance to live in day and
hour when our Nation has been at
tackled, and when it's future exist
ence and the future existence of
our chosen method of government
are at stake.
"To win this war wholehearted-
ly, unequivocally and as quickly as
we can is our task of the first i'm
portance. To win this war in such
a way that there be no future
world wars in the foreseeable fu-
ture is our second objective. To
provide occupations, and to provide
decent standard of living for our
men in the armed forces after the
war, and for all Americans, are the
final detectives"
In his letter, the President ex-
pressed the opinion that our eco
nomic system is on sounder, more
human basis than it was at the time
Of his first Inauguration.
He refused to commit himself of
the vice presidency, saying in an
swer to a question that he and Wal
lace had discussed China and Asia
during their conference yesterday.

More On Trek
To The East
By Cecil Newman

Going East we had nice accomo-
dations at Chicago's Grand Hotel.
Chicago is the mecca towards which
thousands wend each year, and
hotel reservations are hard to OBJ
tain. Other popular hotels there
are the Pershing and Southway.
=. Palm Tavern is quite the popu-
lar eating and drinking spot where
celebrities gather. On the re-
turn trip we had "a couple" with
Ted Insurance MANI Allen in the
Grand grill room. -.
In New York the Associated Pub
fishers, Inc, entertained Negro
Newspaper Publishers Association
at a grand banquet at the Hotel
McAlpin. Edward Nix, an account
executive of Erwin Massey, top adj
vertising agency, was the principal
speaker. D. Arnett Murphy and
Carter Wesley, executives of the
Associated Publishers, were real
hosts to about $50 guests .
strictly big-time hospitality by
alert business men. Roy Garvin Of
the Afro-American advertising
staff was master of ceremonies.
Roy, a Kansas-Missouri product, is
rated among the three most i'm
portant Negro advertising men in
the country. For some reason
we were seated at the speakers
table. Young Truman K. Gibson,
civilian aide to the Secretary of
War "a hot seat job), was close by.
He made a fine talk. We remem-
Der him as the sparkplug of the
Negro Exposition in Chicago a few
years ago. Mr.. Nix, principal
speaker, pointed out that the Ne
gro publishers had failed to sell
their papers as media which has
direct contact with 10 billion dol
lars of Negro income in the United
States.
We renewed our contact with
Joseph La Cour, the country's ace
Negro advertising man who recent
ly became manager of the newly or
ganized Associated Publishers. Had
chats with Major Homer Roberts
of the Army Public Relations Bu-
reau. Former Kansas Citians will
recognize Roberts as the first Ne
gro in America to operate an auto
mobile agency. He did so well
in Kansas City that he moved to
Chicago where he sold many a car.
His handling of news of Negro
soldiers is highly appreciated
among the publishers. David
Watkins of PEOPLES VOICE was
an interesting personality. -. An old
school-mate of ours, Doxey Wilker-
son, former Howard Professor turn
ed Communist and long active in
American Teachers Association
matters, is now executive editor of
PEOPLES VOICE. AS a boy Doxey
had long brown curls and the pink
cheeks of a cherub. The pink
cheeks are still there, but the curls
have gone the thinning way of
