the American Newspaper Women's
Club. On this occasion members Of
the club and guests are requested to
bring donations for the Camp and
Hospital Service or to arrange with
Mrs. Vandenberg to have the articles

articles needed constantly to assure
fitting atmosphere in the recre-

America, Inc. The work of this
organization is to supply civilian
clothes to men of the services being
mustered out. Mrs. Randall Hagner
and Mrs. Philip Peck, members Of
the Washington committee, will be
at the tea Wednesday and they will
accept in the absence of their chair

the Special Assistant to the Secre-

worthy cause. Supplying good ci-

served their country nobly and
bravely is one of the little ways we
can all help to make the way a bit
brighter for the men who have done
so much for us. Bundles for Amer

necticut avenue and here volunteers
are just as busy making used gar

support for a permanent FEPC
denounced poll taxes as restric-
ton on American citizenship and
pledged his weight to legislation to
abolish such taxes, and assured his
support for legislation to afford
protection for men in the armed
forces against assault and other
forms of violence.
Inasmuch as both parties are
committed to establish FEPC per
manently, the view here is that
the coalition bills now before COM
mittees in both chambers of con-
gress could conceivably be enacted
before the termination Of the pres
ent session The aid Of the Presi-
dent is going to be needed wheIl
the bills come to the floor of the
house and the senate, possibly
more particularly the latter where
a filibuster can upset its chances
of passage.
Mr.. Roosevelt was fortnight in
his criticism of the poll tax. How
ever, no action is likely to be TAX
en- this year although technically
the Marcantonio bill can be call
ed up in the senate, having al
ready passed the house.
The chief executive can now be
called upon to prod his spokesman
in the house to bring the bill to
the flood quickly providing pro-
lection for Negro men In uniform.
This bill passed the senate last
spring, but is stymied In house
committee.
A fear rapidly developing is that
fair and equal consideration may
not be forthcoming for Negro vet
Grams at the hands Of the Veteran
administration. Various Negro or
CARNATIONS have been pressing Brig.
Gen. Frank T. Hines, administra-
tor, to name a Negro to his staff.
He has not yet done so. President
Roosevelt will be expected to exert
himself in this direction also.
SOCIAL LEGISLATION
Apart from these specific meas
Iires, the President mas committed
himself to further social legislation
beneficial to all Americans. His
economic bill of rights will no
doubt rank high on his list. In
this Negroes stand to gain provid-
ing the President decides to press
for action at the same time that
he will be trying TO write a just
peace
Another significant result OF the
election has been the degree to
which Negroes and the labor
movement have blended and iden-
titled their respective interests. 1t
is a natural coalition, but only
recently has it been effected. Dur
ing the Democratic party conven-
ton perhaps the chief bargaining
point possessed by the CLIO was its
claim to a hold on Negro votes.
Negro people will expect closer
support from the Clio in connec-
ton with legislation in which they
are interested.
