Last week the Daughters OF
the American Revolution met
in New York and elected as
president general a lady from
the sovereign state of Georgia
to direct their deStinieS for the
coming year. This is the first
time that a southern woman
has ever been elected to that
office. In fact, it will not make
much difference who is elected
since the narrow policies of
many past leaders have always
reflected upon colored people.
The Marian Anderson" Incl
dent refreShes my memory in
regard to their attitude toward.
I wonder if Crispus Attacks has
any grand or great grand
daughters. 1t would tickle the
fancy of many to see such a
person apply for membership
in that sacred organization.
Perhaps the most serious bust
ness performed by the grand
danes aside from dining and
frolicking, was the adoption Of
a resolution calling for a halt
on all immigration for a period
Of five years after the end of
the war. No more refugees
should come to the land of OPP
portunity is the hymn Of patri-
otism sung by these ancestral
grandees. Their motive is to
reverse, completely. the basic
principle upon which this ma
ton was founded haven for
the suffering and distressed.
The major problems confront
ing our people today did not
merit their consideration. Sure
they bought some war bonds to
present a patriotic front but
behind this outer exterior
seems to be a policy of ex-
clusiveneSS excelling all the
nobility OF European queens.
In passing, a word may be
said about the Sons of the Am
erican Revolution here in the
City of New York. Their head
quarters is located in the fam
GUS "Faunces' Tavern" at the
corner of Broad and Pearl SITS
in Manhattan. About two years
ago, a college fraternity Of
which I am a member decided
that they would like to stage
a dinner-dance in the old inn
founded by a man who came
to New from the French West
Indies. Samuel FraunceS was
that man. Accordingly, I dis
patched a letter to the local
president asking permission to
hold the affair stating that we
wished to honor the colored
man who had founded the
place in which they were
housed. A polite reply came
stating that Mr.. Frances was
a white man Of French-Wesr
Indian extraction and since
this was the case, I would pre-
sumo that there was no need
for arranging such an affair.
A pamphlet tracing the history
of the French Indian In
dian was included to prove his
white birth. To refute this, /
sent letters to such persons
versed in our racial history as
DR.. Charles H. Wesley, presi-
dent of Wilberforce University,
DR.. Carter G. Woodson, Director
of the Association for the study
of Negro Life and History, Mr..
]. A. Rogers and others. All
replies stated that Frances
was of colored blood. Having
seen an article written by a
white man in the Philadelphia
Bulletin some years ago, I sent
for a photostatic copy Of the
proper page Of the issue in
which the column appeared.
| All these facts were forwarded
to the local head but never q
line of admission, only a pc
lite reply acknowledging receipt
of the material. Fraunces must

WITH BRITISH FORCES IN
ALBANIA, Oct. Delayed (via
|RCA) The commands marrying
the Germans as they withdrew from
this tiny Balkan country aren't act
ing alone.
Their operations are co-ordinated
with the activities of Albanian
Partisans, who have been fighting
for years for the liberation of their
country-first against the Italians
and later against the Germans.
The Partisan movement here,
which has more than doubled in
size in the last six months, now
numbers about 10000 adherents. or
ganized into more than 20 brigades
Throughout the war, Albanian
Partisaps, largely unnoticed by the
world press, have played little
brother" role to the widely publ
cized movement led by Marshal
Tito in Yugoslavia.
The history of their battle
against the occupying forces and
against the rival Albanian groups
who have played into enemy hands
is strikingly parallel to the we'll
known story of the Yugoslav parti-
sans.
Movement Started in 1885,.
The germ of the present move
ment appeared shortly after the
helpless little kingdom was overrun
by Mussolini's troops in 1889.
Activity in those days was con-
fined to Communist, anti-FaScist
demonstrations in the towns, and
to occasional shooting OF some Of
the more obnoxious collaborators.
BY 1941, these scattered forces
were beginning to band together
into small groups, and their efforts
assumed vague pattern of or
ganization. Also, the number of
those actively opposing the Fascists
was growing every day. 4
The movement had acquired the.
proportions of national anti
Fascist front by the autumn of
1912. Its membership by that time
was no longer predominantly Com
munist-at least so far as the rank
and file was concerned.
The Partisans had not yet been
forced to take to the hills as guer-
rilla fighters; they operated in the
towns in open defiance of the
Fascists, who lacked sufficient forces
to police the entire,country. Novem-
Der %, 1912, the day they captured

annual Partisan holiday.
Grew Stronger in 1913.
Partisan activity in 1913 forced
the Italians to stick to larger gar
risons in towns and made it unsafe
for them to move their troops
around the country, except in large,
heavily-armed conveys.
In May, finding it necessary to
reinforce their Albanian garrison,
the Italians called down three addi-
tional divisions from Yugoslavia.
These divisions are said to have
carried out an intense campaign Of
reprisal in the northern part Of the
country. Many towns allegedly
were wiped out. including Korvlesh.
When Italy capitulated last fall,

were forced to retire from popu-
lated areas into the wilderness OF
the hills in which their country
abounds.
Used Hit-Run Tactics.
They began to fight a canny
guerrilla war. avoiding any attempt
to seize and hold territory, but con-
centrating on hit-and-run tactics of
the sort Of phantom opposition
which is nightmare to an occupy
ing force.
Like the Italians. the Germans
were limited to use of the large
towns and principal roads.
The Germans reacted by organ
izlng a militia, recruited from the
anti Communist Bali Kombetar
party and from other groups op-
posed to the Partisans and charged
with liquidating the partisan move
ment in Albania.
Last winter was a bad time for
the Partisans. With very little food,
clothing and arms, and receiving no
help other than a trickle of supplies
from Great Britain, they stuck it
out and harassed the Germans to a
point where the Nazis were forced
to call to Albania two additional
SIS units from Greece.
The Partisans claim to have held
down four German divisions
throughout the winter.
Set Up Government in May.
The Partisans established their
own provisional government on May

Fascist congress at the town of
Bermet. There's no question but
that most Of the political leaders

Communists.
It's equally clear, however, that
the leaders Of the movement don't
wish it to be regarded as officially
