ATLANTA, Ga, June 23-
Meet Miss Helen Gregory, a
queen among csnvassers.
Meet the tireless, efficient
woman who's guided, cajoled
and accompanied personally
some 5000 North Carolina
workers to registration offices.
George S. Mitchell, regional
director of the Political Action
Committee here, reports that
more than 5000 union men,
bers registered for the first
time this year in North Carolina
because of Miss Gregory's abtl-
ity and ceaseless efforts.
Assigned by the Textile Work
ers Union to spur registration
in the southeastern region, Miss
Gregory has made registration
the password among II North
Carolina unions.
Miss Gregory is definitely not
the "swivel-chair" type. She
knows political action must
come from the grass roots and
she went to the grass roots IN
her campaign.
She spoke before local unions
ard city industrial union coun-
ellis. She established local pol
iticaI action committees. She
helped form CIO-AFL political
groups. She assisted in map
ping precinct organizations and
contacted city and county Off
cials for information.
Nor were tiresome clerical
chores out of Miss Gregory S
line. She outlined ward and
precinct maps, checked regis
tratfon lists and prepared dis
tributed handbills, letters and
other printed material.
The south seems to inspire in
dividual registration campaigns
In this city, Mrs. Annie Creel,
Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers representative, registered
1900 workers and DR.. George
F. Towne, a retired 76-year-old
Negro scholar, defied local off
cials to register 1000 Negroes.

But rigid price controls will

BROKEN PROMISES
A. p. G.-The Detroit Times.

Why are we fighting in this war
The pat answer is:
eve are fighting fascism; we
are fighting against those who
would conquer and enslave the
world; we are fighting a war to
end all wars; we are fighting to
establish the four freedoms to all
peoples; we are fighting to protect
our American institutions"
The state of affairs as they exist
and as they tend to materialize in
Europe, give the lie to the absurd
professed aims of our shortsighted
leaders.
How would we benefit by having
a Communist Europe instead of a
Fascist Europe?
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Po-
land, Czecho-Slovakia and Yugo-
slavia already can be added to the
side of Communistic ideology, not
from choice but by the most brazen,
uncompromising coercion. Italy and
France can also be assigned to the
Communist camp.
In practically all the other Euro
pean countries there exists strong
pro-Communistic parties that will
make their voices heard at the
proper time.
Pledges and assurances, broken
before, can and will be broken
again. We should not rely on
them. We should not rely on what
dictatorship tells us they will do
but on what they are doing or have
done in order to gain our conf
dence.
What Stain is doing is glaringly
obvious. He has begun to Com
munize Europe and has already
made much progress.
Not one American life is worth
losing to install Communistic
or Fascistic ideology in Europe and
eventually over the whole world.
Both are born from the same womb
the womb of destruction, aggres
sion and murder.
