Over the opposition of plantation own

France well. Going personally to the

Throughout these years his culti-

ing Your Christmas Parcels TO
Ser0iceS Men, Women on Time

Approximately $4,000 uniformed
men and women in the Army and
Navy postal services are preparing
for their biggest job that Of NOV
ing an estimated 100000 packages
of Christmas presents (three times as
many as last year) to the military
men and women overseas, the Office
of War Information reported today
on the basis of data obtained from
the Army and Navy
Army postal officers are preparing
their organization to move about
twice as many Christmas parcels as
were handled in 1913, when 100000
900 holiday packages were sent over
seas.
TheThe Navy Mail Service ex-
poets nearly four times the volume
of gifts handled in 1943 through fleet
postoffices in New York and San
Francisco A total of 7,4sO,OO0 pack
ages went through the fleet post offic
es last year, 3,4s0,O0O Of them to adj
vanced bases or ships at sea and A.
100000 to ships putting in at Amer
ican ports, the Navy reported.
Both Army and Navy said that this
year more facilities have been estab-
lished all over the world to assure
prompt delivery of properly wrapped
and properly addressed packages to
service men and women overseas on
or before Christmas Day. That's
why Christmas Mailing Month" has
been set for September Is to October
IS. Parcels mailed during that per
iod, officers said, should reach each
soldier or sailor, wherever he may be,
by Christmas Day, provided the SEN
ders take few simple precautions.
Packages should weigh not more
than five pounds and have combined
dimensions OF not more than 36 inch
es. Be sure to address package,
plainly and correctly, the Army and
Navy officers said. Don't use labels
that in handling, may come off. Put
an extra address inside. Don't send
perishables and, above all, don't try
to put edibles such as fruit cakes or
cookies in the same box with wrist
watches, pocket knives or other dur
able gifts soldiers appreciate. II the
edibles spoil they may destroy the en-
tire contents Of the box.
The only packages that were late
in arriving or not delivered at all last
year were those incorrectly addressed,
wrapped or improperly packaged.

would have been a victim of Hitler.
1t was the grim days of the summer
Of 1910 when Rommel was sweeping
across North Africa. The Allied
cause was standing before the abyss.
Who was this black man of whose
death General Charles de Gaulle him
self wrote:
The Mother Country, the State,
the Empire are plunged into mourning
for Felix Eboue Every Frenchman
knows and will remember that Felix
Eboue, by keeping the territory of
the Chad, of which he was Governor
in the war during the worst moment
of our history halted the spirit of
surrender Felix Eboue, great
French African, has died in the high
accomplishment of his duty. But he
has taken his place in the very spirit
of France"
Felix Eboue was not native of
Africa He was born in, French,
Guiana, in Cayenne, on the northern
end Of South America. He did not
come up from poverty. His father
was well-to-do plantation owner
! This was the world of the assinilated
elite Negro citizens Of Frances
distinguished from the illiterate Ne
gro subjects-the world of gentlemen
whose loyalties are more French than
Negro
A gentleman's son must follow the
footsteps of a gentleman. That is
traditional. Only aris can supply the
proper environment. So the boy Of
nine is sent to the capital of France
There he becomes brilliant student
at the Lyceum, popular athlete, cap
tain of the college football team.
The tastes of the man of leisure
the good and the bad-develop and
multiply: capacity for literature and
music, philosophy, languages, cards,
food, wine, witty conversation, grac-
ious company.
He knew the French poets, centur-
les OF them, chapter and verse, by

ing voice. years later, travelling the
African veldt by car and horseback,
| up the ancient jungle-tangled Congo
by crude river boat, tired of conver,
sation, he often entertained himself
! and his staff by singing entire operas,
all the parts, complete. Manon Les
caut was his afvorite when there was
the comparative comfort of the car
Up the river he preferred the more
! turbulent Faust.
Not belonging to that great mass of
illiterate Negro subjects burdened
with ,onerous taxes, low wages, milit-
ary conscription and the forced labor
that bedevils the colonial subjects OF
all great powers, he might have had a
professional chair at the Sorbonne, or
seat in the Chamber Of Deputies
Or he might have returned to the
easy indolent life of a Guiana Planta-
ton.

FEPC BUDGET
TO CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, CAMP -
The first budget ever to be
submitted to Congress by the,
FEPC is expected to arrive in
the Offices of the House ap-
propriations committee either
late this week or early next,
and hearings are anticipated
to start late this month.
Though knowledge that
FEPC will submit a budget
may ease for the moment the
fears that rose when Senator
Russell of Georgia introduced
his amendment to the indie
pendent Offices bill requiring
all executive agencies in exis-
tence for a year or more to
come to Congress for further
funds rather than receive them
through transfers from the
Presidents special funds, it is
freely admitted here that there
is a large element in Congress
who are sharpening their
knives for FEPC to eliminate
the agency completely.
The real threat lies in the
restrictions which Congress
may impose upon the expendi-
ture of the funds it finally APP
propriates rather than whether
any money will be forthcoming
at all. .-1.saa--~- -
The National Council for d
Permanent FEPC was under
stood to be reviewing its STRAIT
egg with an eye more to coping
with the new situation than
with pressing for immediate
passage Of legislation.
