SOLONS ASK END TO NAzI
 INDUSTRIES

Washington, November 13. - (UP) - The Senate War Mobilization Sub- Committee today proposed a drastic pro- gram to curtail Germans war making potential, in cluding destruction of her cartels and deindustrializa- tion to virtually the same ex- tent as envisaged in the con- troversial plan linked with Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, warning that same elements in Germany already are looking forward to a third attempt at world conquest, the subcommittee, a unit of the Military Affairs Committee, said that an ef- fective disarmament pro gram for the Reich must overlook nothing that can contribute to such a goal.
 "A real disarmaent program re- uuires not only the dismantling of all direct munitions industries but also the dismantling and removal to the devastated areas of Europe of the primary indirect munitions 1n- dustries including the metallurgical and chemical industries" the report said.
 'The subcommittee believes that those who have urged that all indus try, other than direct armament manufacture, be left intact have overlooked the fact that for more than 30 years all of German indus try has been closely integrated as . munitions economy"
 The so-called Moygenthau plan, which would make Germany almost entirely dependent on agriculture, was not mentioned by name in the report but the sub-committee's recommendations would accomplishe much the same purpose.
 AEorgenthau's drastic proposals were reported to have caused a cab- inet split in October because they were at variance with the ideas of Secretary of State CnrdeIl Hull. who,

14th Airmen
 OuitVoIuabIe China Base
By WALTER BUNDLE Limited Press War Correspondent)


 Chungking, Nov. 13 = (U.P) = The 14th Rir Force announced today the destruction and evacuation of it's most valuable remaining East China air base at Liuchow last Tuesday upnder pressure of fast driving Jap aneSe columns.
 Loss of the Liuchow airf1eld, tlie last American base in Kwangsi Province, virtually threw the 14th back upon it's Running base, with only smal fields at Kweiyang and Manning from which to carry on support of China,s ground forces.
 (The Japanese claimed they cap tured both Liuchow and Kweilin, capital of Kwangsi Province, last Thursday0
 The decision to bio up the Liu- chow base was reached when the Japanese established themselves within three minutes flying time of the field. This close proximity had deprived the weary 14th pilots, who were carrying out two and three missions daily, of even few min- utes warning of Japanese attacks.
 Even with the field mined for destruction, planes continued to take of for strafing and bombing missions until the last hour. The crews lived in hostels stacked with gasoline drums awaiting the order to apply the torch.
 That order came late Tuesday afternoon. Throughout the night, explosions shook the earth as the 14th wrote off base built with American dollars and the sweat of thousands of Chinese coolies.
 GA Domei news agency dispatch said that 200 defenders, presumably Chinese troops, were killed and 100 captured in the conquest of Liu-

 Moscow, November 13, - Soviet armored forces, pushing along a 25-mile wide front, stepped up their offensive against Budapest from the southeast today, with one sal- tent threatening the big communi- cation center of Jaszbereny, 31 miles east of the capital.
 (The Berlin radio said strong Russian forces had entered Jaszber- eny, indicating that the fall of the big rail and highway town was 1rl- minent.
 While the lull still continued along the siege line four miles below Buda- pest, other forces of Marshal Rod1on Y. Malinovsgy's 2nd Ukranian Army were converging rapidly on the Hun garian capital from the southeast and northeast.

 More than 30 towns or inhabited places were captured by the Red Army troops as they hammered out gains up to 13 miles in one day and killed or captured 2,100 more Ger mans and HungarianS.
 The new drive toward Budapest was centered along 8 front stretch ing from Alberti, on the southern Budapest -Szolnok railroad, to Alat- tyn, where the Soviet troops were only seven miles from Jaszebereny.
 In establishing that line the Russians also seized the village of BoIdoghaza, two miles southwest of Alattyn and Soreg, 10 miles north of Cegled.

 London, November 13. = (UP) = Berlin said today that strong Russian forces had smashed into Jaszber- eny, big transport center S1 miles east of Budapest, and Moscow reported that the Red Army had established a firm. bridgehead across the Danube just below the Hun garian capital.
 By Russian and German account, Marshal Rodion, Y. Malinovsky's drives to out flank Budapest were develop ing steadily, and Moscow said the outskirts of the city were under steady Soviet gunfire.
 The Nad acknowledgement of the Soviet penetration of JaSzbereny, key base guarding the eastern ap- breaches to Budapest, indicated that the city soon would be besieged from that direction as well as from the south.
 '1The battle in the area east of Budapest increased in intensity" Ernst Won Hammer, Nazi radio com mentator, said Both sides are con- tinually bringing up endorsements. A strong Soviet tank formation penetrated the town of Jaszberny. German Panzer grenadiers support ed by tiger tanks and assault guns pierced the enemy assault wedge and pressed the Soviets back to the southeast"

 United Press Correspondent Henry Shapiro reported from Moscow that Malinovsky was carrying out mop up operations between the Danube and Tisza and had expanded his bridgeheaed on the west bank of the Danube south of the capital.
 Earlier Moscow dispatches said U11d1 dSo oOOA1 oO OAAO HAAO5OAASeSA WeNo Solidly established, Malinovsky was expected to swing around the capital to the west in a double flanking movembent.
 "The young Soviet Marshal who in the course of the last month claimed more than 142,000 Germans and Hungarians killed or captured now appears determined to wipe out the remainder of the enemy forces and knock Hungary out of the war in the nearest future" Shapiro's dispatch said.
 With the capital in state of growing panic, he said, the Hungari- ans appeared demoralized and the Germans, bearing the brunt of the battle, had to throw in fresh Panzer divisions.

cause they are performed by a
political party; that the organic
law Of the United States, a consti-
tutional democracy, grants to all
citizens the right to participate in
elections regardless of race; and
that no state can nullify that right
by casting it's regulations in a
form to permit a private organiza-
ton to practice racial discrimina-
ton in elections.
The decision is certain to be one
of the factors in the coming ma
tional election. Republican oppo-
nents of the President are encour-
aging southerners to blame the
President for the decision. Which
is another anomaly in American
politics since it was the Republican
party which first, in 1860, declared
boldly against Negro slavery.

Urges Negroes to Become More

Urges Negroes to Become More
Critical of Themselves
Mr.. Randolph urged a more criti-
cal analysis of the Negro by him
self to correct any weaknesses that
are to be found within his own
range. He cited further the con-
duct of the Negro, and that every
thing he did stood out with the
other group, and that Negroes
should refuse to be a spectacle of
humor for the white man.
Takes Shot at Foot SuitOrs
Mr.. Randolph spoke of the zoot
suit and how damaging it was to
the Negro as it offered an oppor-
tunity for the white man to point
his finger of scorn and humour at
him. He urged the Negroes to dress
and act like all other human beings.
In conclusion he said, 'The zoot
suit rage is an expression OF per-
sonality inadequacy, as the Negro
boy lacks the opportunity of ex-
preston in so many of the avenues
that are open to the white boy;
therefore, this zoot suit was moth
ing more than the expression of
self Importance or some degree
of outburst of pent up emotion"
Mr.. Randolph lauded the work of
the Presidents Fair Employment
Practice Committee, and expressed
optimism over the future of the
race if such committees as this
will be permitted to function dur
ing the post war era.

gether.
He commended the program of
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters' Organization, and ex-
pressed hope that it would continue
to help to bring about a real de-
mocracy in this country.
Charles l.. Horn Present
Charles L. Horn, President of the
Twin Cities Ordnance Plant, and
one of the recent appointees of
President Roosevelt on the Fair
Employment Practice Committee,
was among those present at the big
mass meeting.
Frank Boyd, Secretary Treasur-
er Of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters, Twin Cities Division,
introduced A. Phillip Randolph.
Mr.. Randolph in his usual calm
and mastery approach, began one
Of the most dynamic addresses the
citizens of the Twin Cities have
been privileged to hear. His sub
ject, "The Negroes in the War and
Peace" gave him a broad scope
in which to deal. He made a COM
parable analysis of World War
with II and portrayed the distinc-
ton between some of the issues in
volved. He cited that World War l
dealt with racism and geographic
boundaries as it affects class and
standards of living with small and
large nations while today with two
thirds of the peoples of the world
being colored, the major issue was
one of race and color.
In discussing Americas part as
a world crusader, he said the Eu-
ropean countries were amazed over
the fact that this same America
was sending to Europe two sepa-
rate and distinct armies, one black
United States Army and another,
a white Army. Meanwhile the sole
purpose of these two separate
armies to fight for freedom of the
world! The question naturally fol-
lows Randolph said is, "How can
this type of democracy work."
He asserted the trade union
movement from the point of pro-
duction, offered the only alterna-
tive from which the Negro could
win. Unions, he said, deal with
the worker, and SO per cent of all
Negroes are workers; therefore
their common interest was tied and
relegated to the position of the
plight of all workers throughout
the world.
He emphasized the Importance of
the Negro becoming more con-
scious of his rights and response
bilities as workers, and stated that
the Negro also must become CO.
operatively conscious; as the coop
erative movement aids in his pur-
chasing power and reserves certain
profits that should accrue to his in
terest, and this will undoubtedly
play an important factor in the
postwar era when certain upheavals
must be anticipated.
Mr.. Randolph stunned his aud

fence when he recited recent in
cident in Memphis, Tennessee with
Boss Crump. He stated further that
on arriving in Memphis, how small
committee of Negroes had met and
urged him to flee from the city
where they had stationed a large
limousine at the door of the home
where he was supposed to have
stopped, and made plea that he
leave at once as his life was in
danger, and the home of the citizens
where he was to reside had been
threatened with bombs.
Tells of Memphis Situation
Mr.. Randolph told how deeply
he was affected by the lady of the
house who came to him with tears
in her eyes and asked for advice
as to what she should do because
Boss Crump has threatened to make
it uncomfortable for all persons
who had anything to do with this
meeting if it was carried out. He
complimented this lady when she
said, 81 do not wish to live in a
place where | can not have guests
in my home" He treasured her by
saying, Il will be glad to leave your
home, but l certainly have no in
tentions of leaving Memphis" After
he had made his statement to her,
she, too, decided that she would
permit him to remain in her home
regardless of consequences.
He brought to the audience a
vivid picture of how he went to the
place of the meeting, arriving he
found only an empty police car
parked in front of the meeting
place. Entering the building where,
to his amazement, he found the
place packed with Memphis citi-
zens. They carried out their meet
ing without difficulty, and while
he was there, he was invited by one
of the leaders of the Farm Fedora
ton who had a convention that
day, to address their meeting at
which time he said, 81 had an OPP
portunity to pay my respects to
Boss Crump."
All meetings were carried out as
per schedule, and due to the cou-
rageous stand of the members of the
union and others in Memphis where
they would not permit fear to de-
feat them, nothing happened. Since
then he has been invited to return
to Memphis to address a meeting
of white union in that city.
Mr.. Randolph urged the Negroes
everywhere to stick together and
build a united front and by all
means assume a fearless and I'M
compromising position.

African Leader
Sends Greetings
tOU.S. People

NEW YORK-Greetings to the
people of the United States of
America from Governor General
Felix Eboue of French Equatorial
Africa were brought to this country
personally by Walter White, N.
A. A. C. P. secretary, who met and
conferred with Governor Eboue in
Cairo, Egypt, April 8. The mes
sage follows:
"In Cairo 1 had the pleasure of
meeting M. White, general secre-
tary of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People
and war correspondent. 1 have
confded this message to him in wit
ness of the sympathy and solidarity
addressed to the brave people of
the United States of America who
are struggling so courageously for
the liberty of the world and the
betterment of the condition of hu-
mainly according to the principles
of the Atlantic Charter"
(Signed) "EBOUE,
"Cairo, 8 April 1914"
The message was handwritten by
the Governor General and delivered
to Mr.. White at the Hotel National
in Cairo.
Governor Eboue is probably one
of the most important colored men
in the entire world and occupies a
key position in the whole question
of Africa and France after the war.
After the downfall of France in
1910, Governor Eboue was the only
French colonial official who refused
to collaborate with Vichy. He de-
clared unending opposition to the
Nazis. His territory, French Equa-
torial Africa, became thus the only
important spot in France or in the
French empire which the Axis did
not control directly or indirectly.
1t was from the radio station in
Brazzaville, Governor Eboue's capt.
tai, that the Free French Govern
ment spoke to the world; and it was
from -Brazzaville that General De-
Gaulle operated during the dark
days and rallied the Free French
Government to him.
All political observers are agreed
that Governor Eboue provided the
only bright spot in the messy
French-African picture and that if
it had not been for his action the
African campaigns by the Allies
would have been made immensely
more difficult.
Governor Eboue was in Cairo on
his way to Syria for a three-month
rest from his arduous duties at
Brazzaville.
