were warned that they must accept
and cast federal war ballots, no mat
ter what color the sender may

fusing to recognize federal war bal
lots which are in the abbreviated
form and contain only the names of

AFRICANS WOULD MAKE
THE BEST MECHANICS

LAGOS, NIGERIA, West Africa,
Oct 81 (ANP)-Given thorough
European scientific training Nigeria
would top her rivals in progress and
many European countries would not
be able to cope with her, Austin
Smith, white, American mechanical
engineer, declared while visiting
Nigeria.
Though his work had carried him
to many countries including Aus
tralia, Europe, Asia and America
nowhere have apprentices shown
such aptitude, skill and patience as
those in Africa, Smith explained.
They gave him a never to- be-for-
gotten" satisfaction.
So impressed was the American
engineer that he once thought Of
establishing a school of his own in
Nigeria, to instruct Africans in the
use of mechanics in modern indus
try.
African mechanics have been ac-
customed to working with crude in
struments, Smith explained, but, he
added, that in spite of such handi-
caps they turn out results of high
quality.
Smith recommended that the gov
ernment set up some such center
whereby engineering aspirants could
be taught mechanics twice weekly
and opportunities be provided for
the practical application Of the les
sons.

Racial discrimination at the Uni

Hampton institute teacher, was
ousted from the university's faculty

student, was colored when he made
his reservations.
After "a hours Of residence at the
club, Prof. E. F. Bean, chairman of

Holt, secretary treasurer, visited
Burke's room. They informed him
that "a Negro would be resented at
the club" and offered to have his
luggage moved free of charge, and
to waive any room rent that was in
volved.
Burke rejected the offer but Sc
cured a room at the YMCA. "It was
an affront to have offered and
craven to accept" he wrote Faculty

HOW TO PREVENT POST
WAR RACIAL TENSIONS
STUDIED ON COAST

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 81 (ANP)
Just as the united nations are
taking time by the forelock in prep
aration for the gripping new prob
lens that will arise when peace is
declared, so are state officials and
far-seeing members Of both races
anxiously considering postwar Cal
ifornia as regards the Negro.
They hope to make the dire pre-
dictions of Harry L. Kingman,
FEPC regional director, for the Pa
cific coast prove untrue. Kingman
declared last week that when 2OO,-
900 Negroes begin seeking jobs as
cut-backs and reconversions in war
industry increase, racial tensions
will grow.
He explained that the first prob
lem to be faced would be to place
65 to 10 per cent more Negroes in
west coast peacetime industry than
in pre-war days. He, like many Of
the colored leaders who have been
studying the matter carefully, feels
definitely sure that only a small
percentage of southern born de-
fense workers will return. Better
living conditions, better schooling
for their children, and less discrimi-
nation will induce them to rather
chance unemployment here than the
south where they came from.
With many whites also out of en-
ployment, prejudice and race hatred
will be aroused in the minds of those
who nurse the belief that whites
should be favored, Kingman contin-
ued. He also quoted the figure of
277,000 Negroes now on the Pacific
coast, which is 100000 more than
formerly.
Before war industries and man.
power shortage attracted the pres
ent great and increasing influx
there were only $4,000 in San Fran
cisco, $4,000 in Los Angeles, 2,OOC
in Portland, and 5000 in Seattle
San Francisco now has $4,000 and
Los Angeles 10000 with the other
communities similarly increased
All feel that there is no time for de.
lay with the war definitely drawing
to a finale.

PRESENTS Fellowship
REQUIREMENTS

CHICAGO, Oct. 81 (ANP)-Jan.
! is the closing date for fellowship
applications with the julius Rosen-
wald fund, Edwin R. Embree, presi-
dent, announced. Especially quail
fled persons are urged to correspond
with Mrs. William C. Haygood, act
ing director for fellowships, 49O1
Ellis avenue, Chicago.
Because of the keen competition,
it is not worth while for any candi-
date to make application unless he
can show an exceptional record of
accomplishment and unless he has
definite plans for a further prepa-
ration for distinctive service, the
announcement said.
The fellowships are open to men

didates will not be younger than "a
years nor older than 35 years,
though the committee is willing to
consider very exceptional cases on
their merits. Candidates must have
completed their general college
course or their general professional
course before making application,
or give evidence of maturity and
preparation which may be regarded
as the equivalent of a general edu-
cation of at least collegiate stan
dard.
The term of fellowships will nor
mally be one year, and renewals will
be considered only in exceptional
cases. The amount Of the award will
be determined in each case on the
basis of the expected expenses in
volved and of all other factors which
enter into the given application, in
cluding the length Of time proposed.
1t is expected that the awards will
average $1,50O for a full years
work.
The fellowships are not restricted
to any special subject or activity.
They are open not only to scholars
and scientists but to persons in the
fine arts, creative writing or, jour
nalism, education, agriculture, busi-
ness or public service. Persons in
law, medicine, library science or the
ministry can be considered only for
advanced work beyond the initial
professional degree; persons in
nursing will be expected to have
both a bachelors degree and an R.
N. certificate.
Applicants must submit full in
formation about the personal his
tory of the candidates, their educa.
tion and experience and a definite
statement of the proposed study OF
investigation.
