The Vanguard OF

Washington (ANP) Off,
cial confirmation of the role play
ed by Negro troops In the recent
invasion Of France came Thursday
from the lips Of Secy. Stimson.
While praising their performance,
he revealed some were stevedors
and engineer units, and admitted
that they suffered high casual
ties.
In recounting the part played
by Negro troops In the spectacular
invasion, Stimson disclosed that.
Negro engineer outfits were on
the beaehllead where previous re-
ports have indicated some OF the
heaviest losses were encountered.
The secretary identified the as
signment of the Negro units az
unloading ships and as engi-
neers'.' The object OF national
criticism by his efforts to smear
the Negro soldier, Stimson prais-
ed the courage of the Negro units
that were among the first allied
soldiers to set foot upon French
soil.

COPS Racial
Plank Puts White
Supremacy onRun

CHICAGO -- (ANP) -- The
abortion of a racial plank BY the
Republican party is said tc Gefi-
nitely block any plea from the
south Cor white supremacy, accord
ing to expert opinion last week
after the National COP conven.
ton hey while making it neces-
sary III the Democratic party to
make a similar racial declara-
ton.
Caught in what may be a squeeze
dissident southerners can find
little comfort in voting a Repub-
lean ticket nor will they be as
sured of any action in their be-
half by voting a Democratic bal
lot.
The reaction to this turn of
political events against the south
erner may result in their effort
to throw the election in the elect
oral college, it was pointed out.
Authoritarian Democrats in
Texas and Mississippi have warn
ed that unless the Democratic con-
vention returns to the two-thirds
rule for nominating IS CANDIDATES,
upholds white supremacy and
pledges itself to keep hands off
states powers over elections, their
electors will not support the party
nominee and will vote in the cleo
toral college for some other Demo
crat.
While it Is thought that the
Southerners may not wholeheart-
eddy back the Republican party,
it is known that the ant-Roose7elt
campaign S being pushed vigoro'
usly by southerners who oppose
equal rights for the Negro. They
believe that the November cleo.
ton between Roosevelt and Dewey
will be so clos they will be able
to bargain for white supremacy"

Negroes And Whites Find Peace
Together In War Housing Project

Martin City, CAL (ANP)--That
Negroes and whites can live to-
gether peacefully without race
feuds has been made a reality
here at the new public war-hous-
ing project. Besides sharing the
war-housing project together, both
races use the same churches and
community services as one.
Located only a few Miles from
San Francisco, the official policy
of the city has been one OF nom
segregation and has been ably
supported by the mayor, a former
member of the Oregon State Leg
islature and now a welder in the
shipyards and editor of the COM
munity paper. He Is credited
with making the non-segregation
policy effective.
The war-housing project here
consists OF 1900 dwellings. White
residents frequently object to hav-
ing Negro neighbors but the pro-
ject management refuses to make
any changes unless the Negro
family is actually troublesome in
some way. Since there is literally
no other place to live in this over
crowded section the white people
resign themselves to the situation.
There is no stigma attached to
living next door to Negroes; there
is no one to administer the stig-
ma" declared Milla z. Logan,
formerly of the Martin County
Housing authority.
Logan said the same policy ap-
plies to social relations. There
are Protestant and Catholic

separate service for Negroes. All
the whites. except a small min
ority, have accepted the situation,
he reports.
There's no trouble between
Negroes and whites in Martin
CITY," commented whites, ex-
cept a small minority. have ac-
cepted the situation, he reports.
While the indignation of Neg
roes into community life has been
making steady progress, Logan
said White people with" a pas
sive attitude of sympathy" for
racial minorities have been Undue
ed to take an active stand against
discrimination and the results
have been In the encouragement
extended to Negroes to take part
In community activities" At least
one Negro has been member of
the community council from the
beginning, Logan pointed out, add
ing that the anti-Negro elements
have not been 80 hostile as to
agitate against the election of
Negroes. He thinks, however,
that II the white majority had a
chance to vote on the question of
whether the Negro should, or
should not. be elected from the
project, they unquestionably
would vote for election of the
Negro.
Nevertheless, Negroes and
whites are today living together
in Martin City In a harmonious
intimacy unknown in any other
community In this area" Logan
declared.

Urban League To Study Employment
Of Minors In Negro Business

Recent observation made by the
Legue of the use Of child labor
in violation to state labor laws
has drawn the attention Of the
local Urban League.
Charles r. Eason, Executive
Secretary Of the Urban League
in studying the matter is Of the
opinion that most of the estab-
lishments operated by Negroes
are guilty of violations within the
framework of the Child Labor
Laws. Specifically, are those places
in violation which have for sale
intoxicating liquors In particular,
all establishments minors are
employed or are allowed to fire.
quent such places. Schedules Of
work are such that minors are OBJ
served to be working after hours
as prescibed by the law.
In a recent communication with
the Commissioner of Labor, the
League has been asked to report
such violations to the state de
partment for investigation. The
cooperation Of Juvenile aLthori-
ties is also being enlisted to wipe
out this practice through prose
cution of employers constantly
violating the child labor law.
