JubilatiOn Over
Starnes Defeat
Among" Advisers

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The de-
feat of Rep. Joe Starnes Cd. Of
Ala in the primaries held last
week was widely heralded as an
indication of progress in the politi-
cal thinking of the South.
Starnes, beside his anti-labor at
titude, was particularly identified
with the effort to "kill-off" the race
relations functions carried on in the
government-particularly those in
Housing and in the Federal Public
Works Administration.
Though there is a genuine salts
faction at his defeat on the part of
those who are yet serving in race
relations capacities in various of
the government agencies, they felt
reluctance at expressing their
views because of fear of reprisal
against their agencies by Starnes
during the remaining months of his
Lame duck" service in Congress.
The NNPA has obtained from
three former race relations special
lists no longer connected with the
government, statements of their re-
actions to the defeat of Starnes.
DR.. Robert Weaver, now in Chi
cago as director of the Mayors
Interracial Committee, turned to
the Bible in his jubilance and said:
The Lord moves in a mysterious
way his wonders to perform" DR..
Weaver, once the Race Relations
Adviser in Housing, was always the
principal point of attack for
Starnes because of his speeches and
articles on housing, with the demo-
cratic theories of which the Con-
gresham disagreed.
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune,
president of the National Council
of Negro Women, and former di-
rector of the Office of Negro At
fairs of the National Youth Admin
istration, said: The unity of the
nation and the social progress
which has come through expansion
of social and economic problems
has been greatly retarded by per-
sons who worked deep within the
representative bodies of our gov
eminent"
1T is indeed encouraging that
the political intelligence of our ma
ton as a whole, and of our women
in particular, is increasing to such
a degree that persons are being
more and more judged on the basis
of their records rather than their
speeches"
THE defeat of Rep. Joe Starnes
of Alabama in the recent primaries
may be an indication that the
South, and Alabama in particular,
is setting a new high standard for
its national representatives sent to
the capital of the nation and of the
world"
William J. Trent, Jr., Executive
Secretary of the United Negro Col
lege Fund Campaign, who only re-
Gently resigned as Race Relations
Adviser in the Federal Public
Works Administration, said he felt
very happy when he read of
Starnes' defeat.
at is one of the most hopeful
signs in the South, indicating that
the common people can get to-
gether and see through a man who
is obviously reactionary," he de-
clared. at is a harbinger of a new
political era in the South"
"If a man was anti-Negro in the
South, that was all he needed in
the past to be elected. Now that
doesn't carry the weight any
more" Mr.. Trent stated.

VETS INSURANCE
DEADLINE GIVEN

Veterans returning to Whining
ton after a discharge from mill
tary service must apply at the U.
S. Employment Service office, Ill
Grace street, for unemployment
insurance within six months Of re-
lease from the armed forces in
order to establish their benefit
rights, Manager Felix A. Scroggs
said Monday.
Scroggs explained that the I'm
employment Compensation Law Of
North Carolina includes a special
provision for workers who enter
and return from military service.
Wage credits established in their
unemployment insurance accounts
while they were working during
the two years before entrance into
the armed forces may be brought
forward and made available to
them as veterans during at least
two years following return to CT
william life, but only if each veteran
files a claim within six months OF
his military discharge.
Not all returning veterans will
have wage credits available for
unemployment insurance. The only
Way a veteran may determine the
status Of his account is by filing
a claim with the Unemployment
Compensation Commission at the
U. S. Employment office here.
w. R. Curtis, acting chairman
of the UCC, has been quoted as
saying that regardless of wheth-
err or not a veteran has occasion
to draw unemployment insurance
benefits within the six months fol
lowing his discharge, or whether
or not he is able to work at the
time of his discharge, he should
file a claim for unemployment in
surance during this six-month pc
riod. Only in this way can vet
Grams record of past earnings in
insured employment be credited to
his account for the future. Other
wise, he would forfeit his right to
draw benefits based on prior earn
ings. if later on he becomes I'm
employed and eligible to do So"
