Pew's Sun Shipyards in Chester,

Howard University and assistant to
the Secretary of War during World
War /, and Judge Francis E. Riv-
ers, Dewey-appointee to $4,000
a-year judgeship in New York, to
which he was subsequently elect
ed, have told the Republican Ma
tional Committee and the Repub-
lican leadership in Congress that
support of the FEPC appropriation
and the anti-poll tax bill are
"musts' if there is any expectation
Of carrying the Negro vote.
IN HOT POSITION
With this ultimatuin to their
party, Dr. Scott and Judge Rivers
have put the Republicans in a po-
Sition where they are faced with
the decision of supporting these
measures to the fullest - and thus
assuring their passage or of
weakening the vote-pulling effec-
tivenesS of their main "stand-bys"
by publicly repudiating them in not
adhering to their advice.
Senator White Or of Maine) Re-
publican floor leader, has indicat-
ed the minority members might
support a cloture vote on poll-tax
debate and passage of the anti-poll
tax bill. A steering committee
meeting has been held on these
questions.
But Senators Bridges OR of N.
HI and Bushfield OR of S. d.
have already broken from Republi-
can ranks and declared they will
not support clotlre, calling it

The seriousness of the paper short
age Is stressed In q survey made BY
the Commerce Department which
points out that at the present time
the collection Of wastepaper Is In q
summer slump. At the end Of the
season Of best production, collections
throughout the United States had
fallen 100000 tons short Of quota
That shortage will be aggravated
during the summer.
Commercial sources of wastepaper
are being efficiently covered and II
is only in the individual homes, with
their small collections of magazines
old newspapers, cardboard boxes and
similar material, that an answer tc
the problem is to be found.
When the schools were in session
this source of paper was covered
with considerable efficiency, nearly
$500 900 pounds being gathered in
Washington from October to the
close Of school in June.
With the schools closed, the Rec
reation Department has taken up
the work through Fairgrounds. Be-
cause the contacts possible through
the classrooms are lost, the new pro-
gram calls for a greater amount OF
cooperation by adults. Parents are
being urged to have children take
paper to the Fairgrounds. Persons
without children are urged to take
paper to the nearest playground
either on collection days or on the
day before. Schedules will be listed
