The NAACP statement follows:
Only July 28th, eight Negro girl
elevator operators at Home Store,
reported to the N.A.A.C.P. office
that they had been approached by
the Personnel manager, Mrs. Mil
dred Bader, and asked if they
would be willing to accept a pro-
motion from elevator operators to
stock girls. Believing in the sin
cerity of this proposal, the girls ac-
cepted the offer; thinking the mat
ter over and discussing it, they
decided to consult with Mrs. Bader
to determine on what grounds she
considered their transfer promo
ton, despite the fact they had been
told that they would not be removed
for a month. When the Negro girls
returned to work the next morning
they found, to their surprise, white
girls being trained as operators to
replace them. This infuriated the
Negro girls, who walked out in
protest.
When the story was told to the
N.A.A.C.P., a committee composed
of Mrs. Charles Francis, chairman
Mrs. Thelma Clark, secretary; Mrs.
Miley Williamson, executive secre-
tary of the branch, and Mrs. Mary
S. Williams decided to call upon the
president Of the store, Mr.. Adler,
to hear his side of the story.
This committe was received by
Mr.. Adler, who claimed he knew
nothing about the change, but who
agreed to call in Mr.. Barnes, the
Supt., and Mrs. Bader, Personnel
manager. These persons admitted
that they had proposed the trans.
fer of the Negro girls, but held fast
to the claim that they we're only
interested in promoting the girls
to better position, despite the fact
that no increase in pay was to be
given at the time.
The Committee asked that the
store personnel be frank as to theil
reasons for such high purposes
asking if there were any complaints
against these girls, which might b,

consul went to the camp and told
the men that they were free but
must remain in the camp until ar
rangements were made for trans

scure and the men were obliged to
stay in the camp until Aug. 26. The
night of the 25th, in typical Nazi
fashion, they were encircled and the
Huns did their best to destroy them.
They were bombarded by Tiger

shells on the camp. Luckily there
were no casualties but most of the
men were suffocated.

The Germans are firmly en-
trenched on the tops of noun
tains, supplied by a system of
waterproofed underground tun-
nels. After Rome falls an inva-
sion could take place along the
coastal area in northeasterly
direction through the Alps,
meeting the Russians coming
down. However the Alps make
a difficult barrier for a modern
mechanical army.
Aileen Wallace pointed out
the many difficulties which con-
front the Allies in the Pacific
battle front. After the last world
war the Pacific islands were
divided up and many important
groups such as the Caroline,
the Marianas, and the Marshall
Islands were mandates of ia
pan. Distances are great in the
Pacific and these small islands
have natural physical features
which make them difficult TO at
tack. The island Of Japan itself
contains extensive bodybuilding
facilities, and some Of the
worlds finest natural harborS.
The Burma campaign in this
section is in the news now, but
the monsoon season will pres
emily halt activity there. The
very low jungle land of Burma
makes fighting conditions diff
ficult. Japan must be conquered
by air attack, and cut off from
her supply lines.
John Houck, a high school
senior, read his thesis which

BATTLE FRONT B L u Z
PRINTS panel discussion by
four students of Mount Clemens
High School led by the instruc-
tor, Miss Rose Mary Scott, was
the program presented at the
League of Women Voters meet
ing held Tuesday at the home
of Mrs. A. A. Thompson. Phyl-
lis Meade, Ailecn Wallace, Thorn
Lohr and Dick Fox of the class
in global geography each dis
cussed a field of operation Civ
ing the historical and geograph-
ical aspects which bear on the
present trend of events. A fore
cast Of the probable develop
ments in each field was then Of
fered.
Thorn Lohr described the
militaristic growth of Germany
since 1880 when the economy
was geared to wage war and the
attempt that was made in 1914
when Germany plunged the
world into war. When this at
tempt failed, a treaty was sign
ed which history has shown pro-
vided a breathing spell for the
undaunted Germans to prepare
for the present war. Now they
control the whole western front,
composed of France, Belgium,
Holland and the Scandinavian
countries. 1t is we'll protected
with many natural barriers
which would allow little choice
except for an invasion of the
area at the mouth of the Elbe in
northern Germany. This action
would divert troops from France
which could then be invaded at
Nantes and up the Loire river.
In this area an invasion would
have to take place before Sep
TENDER as the English fogs
would make extensive air &C.
tivity impractical.
EASTERN FRONT
The eastern or Russian front
was discussed by Phyllis Meade.
In 1917 Russia was forced out
of the war and lost vast amounts
of land which she has since tried
to regain. Some was returned
to her by treaty in 1899 from
Germany. The future actions of
Russia are unpredictable. She
has not signed the Atlantic
Charter and believes the Baltic
countries of Latvia and Lith-
uania are rightfully hers. Her
attitude toward a Polish nation
has not been clarified. The Allies
are making every attempt to win
the allegiance of Turkey, an
enemy of Russia for years. Her
friendship is necessary for the
safe transporting of supplies
through the Dardanelles. There
are many signs of coming in
vasion in the recent activity in
the Crimea, and when this sec
ton is captured an invasion Of
the Balkans, which at present
seem more friendly to Russia
than Germany, can be expected.
Sevastapol, great naval base
must be taken before an attempt
can be made to invade the Bal
kans. This advance could be
made along the coast of Ruman-
ia up the Danube river valley
to the important industrial
plants of Germany.
