FORCE, WESTERN DUTCH NEW
GUINEA, Sept. II (ANP Delayed)
Gen. MacArthur's triumphant
march back to the Philippines
seem definitely to have taken it's
inevitable course. Travelling with
his sixth army force, under the
command of Gen. Kreuger, we have
just landed in what might be term
ed probably a sixth wave of Cd"
day forces on the coastal shores in
the Sansapere region of Dutch New
Guinea, which the map estimates
600 mile bee-line to the Philippines.
Aboard ship we found several of
our navy men. There was one gun
ner's mate, among them, while the
others were seaman and stewards

Trouble brewed in the resquare

A separation between whites and
Negro workers would relieve the
strain, they contended.
More than 1900 workers are en-
ployed by the plant.

by registering; paying poll taxes
where required; and voting for the
men and issues of your own choice.
Concluding he said: "a con-
sciousness of this must not be al
lowed to lapse from the minds and
hearts of Negro people when the
events of today have become the
history of tomorrow. Voting is
good! Voting is healthy! Voting is
American. Let us commit ourselves
before God to do it on every occa-

disclosures made by
the Associated Negro Press in
series of articles comes the con-
firmation by the war department
of the report that the two top
ranking officers of the WATERFORD
airbase, Walterboro, S. c., have
been transferred elsewhere. They
are Col. William M. Prince, Com
manding officer of the post, and
1t. Col. Sam P. Triffy, director of
flying operations and deputy post
commander.
These are the men whom the
bulk of Negro fliers and enlisted
men, formerly based at Selfridge
Field, Mich, held responsible for
the unwholesome conditions with
which they have had to put up. The
grievances were brought to light by
the AMP series written by an in
vestigator for the service.

(I0 CHIEFS, BACK
FROM WAR FRONT,
PRAISE NEGRO GI's

w WAO1lINOlOIN, OepI. IL.
(ANP)-Three CIO leaders who
returned from a visit to the Euro
pean war front had much praise
for the splendid" job Of handling
supplies that is being done by Ne
gro soldiers abroad.
In a press conference arranged
to permit them to give their report,
R. j. Thomas, president of the
United Auto Workers; Sherman
Dalrymple, president of the United
Rubber Workers, and David j.
Macdonald, secretary treasurer OF
the United Steelworkers, described
the tremendous undertaking in
volved in keeping the men at the
front supplied.
Somebody ought to write a song
for the supply troops" Macdonald
said in measured words, and point
ed out that all the other branches
have songs. Nobody, it seems, has
any appreciation for the tremen-
dous tosk these other men are per-
forming. The complexities of their
work are beyond imagination"
He told of a large machine shop
in England, "the largest l have
ever seen," where the colonel had
asked for 400 machinists and was
sent 400 truck drivers. In short
time, however, they had been con-
verted to good machinists, among
them good tool and diemakers."
eve didn't see any Negro COM
bat soldiers" Macdonald said, "but
they (supply troops) are very
much at the front. But fellows are
being killed, too, driving trucks of
gasoline just as they are operating
machine guns. When a guy is TAX
ing a load of gas to a flier, the Of
ficer doesn't look to see whether
he's white or colored. They'd all
look alike when it's delivered any,

.BApTI5TS CONVENTION
REBUkE5 EDGAR BROWN
BY Ernest E.. Johnson

WASHIN TON, Sept. IL
(ANP)-Administering a sound
rebuke to the Republican machin-
alton as a result of the efforts of
one of it's emissaries who sought to
commit the body politically, the
National Baptist convention, Inc,
by acclamation reaffirmed it's ira
ditional non-partisan position but
called upon Negro people to avail
themselves, wherever possible, "of
the inalienable right to cast bal
lot"
Edgar G. Brown, self-styled pres
ident of the paper-weight National
Negro council and COP wheelhorse,
is repeatedly responsible for the
story which appeared in certain
papers in which DR.. D. V. Jamison,
president of the convention, is sup
posed to have endorsed Thomas E.
Dewey for president. He had been
active also in conducting an alleg-
edly impartial poll of the 10000 or
more persons in attendance here.
Without direct reference to
Brown, the Rev. J. c.. Austin of
Chicago offered the statement for
adoption in which he reminded that
''from it's very inception this con-
vention has been implored on all
sides to make common cause with
each of those who has believed him
self the annointed and appointed. "
Recognizing the varied political
stripe" Of the Baptist churches,
Austin pointed to the "great dilig-
ence and exceeding care" with
which the NBC has maintained
the unalterable position Of non
partisanship," and firmly declared,
eve do not now intend to depart
from that noble tradition"
However, Austin continued, "the
Baptist churches, cognizant of the
great responsibility that must be
assumed by every American in this
hour of world drama, beseech their

SEEK CHANGES IN
PERMANENT FEp( BILL

WASHINGTON, Sept. II (ANP)
approaches to the Ma
tional Council for a Permanent
FEPC have been made by several
organizations recommending
changes in the bill now under con-
gress, the Associated Negro Press
has learned. Beyond confirming the
matter and saying that the pro-
posals are "now being weighed"
the council preferred not to make
any other comment.
So far as could be determined
these proposals have come from
the American Federation of Labor
and from the National U RIB a n
League. Spokesman for labor up to
this point have all been from the
CIO, although a representative of
the AFL has ben sitting in on GER
tain of the house hearings. Reginald
Johnson, field secretary for the
Urban League, testified in favor
Of the bill in June.
According to a reliable inform
ant, the AFL would like to see that
portion Of the Dawson-Scanlon-La-
Toilette bill dealing with labor un-
ions changed so as to exclude dis
ordinations as may be practiced
within the various internationals of
the federation. They are reported
not to object to other aspects Of the
bill as it deals with unions.
The views of he Urban league
regarding the amendment fall into
two actegories. One involves mere
phraseology which would strength
en- the bill. The other however,
would have the facilities and serv-
ices Of both the National Labor
Relations board and the National
(Railway) Mediation board denied
to those unions found guilty of vio-
lating the provisions of the bill.
In connection with this last, there
is some wander as to whether a
bill such as this one can constitu-
tionally legislate in such a manner
as to influence the functioning of
another agency.

RANKIN BLOCKS CLAIMS
FOR PORT CHICAGO KIN

w WAOHlNGION, sept. III. -
( (ANP)-Rep. Rankin of Missis-
sippi has successfully blocked an
attempt to permit the navy to set
tie claims up to $4,000 growing
out of the Port Chicago, CAL, dis
aster on July II which cost the
lives of more than 200 Negro sea-
men and did considerable property
damage.
Chairman Dan R. McGehee, also
of Mississippi, of the house COM
mittee on claims, presented legisla-
tion favored by the navy depart
ment and unanimously approved at
a meeting of his committee earlier
in the week. He sought unanimous
consent from the house for immedi-
ate consideration.
The army and navy already have
authority to settle claims up to
$1,000, and it is not unusal that
congress itself allows $4,000 and
sometimes more in claims based
upon death of an individual. The
proposed legislation, however, was
confined to this particular disaster
Rankin based his objections on
technical grounds claiming that tc
endorse the measure would set
precedent of delegating congress.
sional authority. ''The gentleman
(McGehee) says this is an extra.
ordinary situation" Rankin said
"All such situations are extraordi
nary. Whenever cases such as these
come up they are going to have
extraordinary angles" he face
tiously added.
Nobody is going to suffer as the
result of holding this Legislation
up or letting it come before the
house for amendment and for gen
eral discussion under the rules o.
the house. I am not willing to give
my consent to the passage of bill
