Annual Convocation
Of Howard u. School
OF Religion Opens

Working conditions OF colored per-
sons have been more responsible for
social disorganization in the life of
the colored race than any other in
fuence, Julius A. Thomas, director
of industrial relations of the Ma
uonal Urban League, New York
City. today told the opening session
Of the 28th annual convocation OF
the School of Religion of Howard
University, William S. Nelson, dean
Of the School of Religion, is in
charge Of the program.
More than $50 delegates from IL
States attended the meeting. The
convocation will continue tomorrow
and Thursday. It's theme is THE
Church and Social DISCRIMINATION
Mr.. Thomas explained that the
colored person first changed his out
look on his status as a citizen when
war conditions made it possible for
him to be employed in positions
having good economic returns. For
example, he said, the colored popu-
lation in Detroit has increased from
5,471 in 1910 to an estimated 225, 900
in 1914 because of financial oppor-
tunities In that area. In addition,
these workers are now employed in
skilled and semiskilled jobs, giving
them a new sense of responsibility
and independence, he said.
Several items tending to improve
the conditions of colored people
were noted by Mr. Thomas. He
pointed out that thousands of young
Negroes in the armed forces are re-
ceiving their first real training and
discipline.
He also said the colored worker
enrolled in labor unions are be-
ginning to lose some OF the caste
status and are being merged into
the rapidly growing American worker
class"

Reds Enter Rail CITY
As Part Of Maneuyer
To 0utfIank Budapest
BY the Associated Press.

.
MOSCOW, Nov. l4.-Russian
forces have driven into the i'm
portant rail city of Jaszbereny,
81 miles east Of Budapest, and
are engaging the enemy in hand
to-hand fighting, front dis
patches said today.
The Germans were reported hurl-
ing in numerous new tanks and
scores of antitank weapons in an
attempt to check the Soviet drive
to ouflank the Hungarian capital.
The Nazis were offering the most
determined armored resistance since
the big tank clashes in which they
were beaten back in the Debrecen
area last month.
(The Germans admitted So
Wet units had penetrated into
Jaszbereny, but asserted the at
tackers were hurled back.)
Soviet Forces Join.
Red Army columns striking from
the northeast after crossing the
Tisza River apparently had made
solid contact with the main forces
Of Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's
I'd UkrainiaA Army, and were aid
ing in drawing the assault line close
to JasZbereny from the east, west
and south,
Front dispatches said the Ger
mans resisted strongly, using Pan
ther tanks and flame throwers in
an attempt to wipe out advanced
Russian infantry elements.
Despite the fierceness of the
enemy opposition. the Russians cap
tured at least 10 towns including
the rail terminal of Jaszapati, II
miles east of Jaszbereny and IS
miles east of Budapest.
moscow dispatches made no
mention today of Russian forces
previously reported in the south
ern outskirts of Budapest A Ger
man broadcaster, Col Ernst Won
Hammer, said the Russians held
a bridgehead on the Danube at
Dunaharaszti opposite Csepel Is
land, S miles south of the cap
ital.)
1000 Prisoners Taken.
Front advices declared that In the
muddy tablelands southwest of Jasz-
bereny the Russians were less than
25 miles from the eastern limits of
Budapest, but the attack had the
character of huge encircling move
ment, rather than frontal assault
on the capitals defenses.
The Soviet war bulletin said the
Russian drive around Budapest's
eastern flank had swept miles
northwest of Cegled and that more
than 1000 prisoners were taken in
the Hungarian fighting.
There was no information in Mos
COW from either official sources or
front dispatches shedding light on
the situation on the west bank of
the Danube near the Yugoslav-
Hungarian frontier, where Marshal
Feodor I. Tolbukhin was reported
building up powerful force.
One view was that he would march
north as the arm of a pincers to
assure the capture of Budapest.
