Unknown Quantity
May Prove Big FOctOr
In Election This Fall

CHICAGO - THE unknown
quantity in the Negro vote this
November should certainly play
an important, If not decisive part
In determining whether the Cook
County Negro vote goes Republi-
can or Democratic" declared A. C.
MacNeal. former publisher OF the
non-existent Chicago WHIP, and
one-time president of the. Chicago
Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. Mr.. Mac
Neal, who Is now a high OPA Of
ficial here. wanted 1t understood
that he was not in politics and
spoke merely from the standpoint
of one who had a different view
of the situation.
The unknown quantity" in the
Negro vote. he said. is in the huge
influx of Negroes migrating daily
into Chicago from points deep in
the middle south. Mr.. MacNeal
guessed roughly that an average
of 500 to 1000 Negroes pour into
Chicago each week and that two
years ago the Negro population
was 274,000, but is now well over
the 100000 mark. While not all
of these persons remain in Chicago
enough of them do to create prob
lens In housing and a bonanza
for the politicians.
While Mr.. MacNeal could see mo
sign of a Republican landslide, 4"
Ae ventured that it was fair to
assume that the sympathies of the
newcomers to Chicago do not run
toward the Democrats" These
people, he said. will be voting this
November for the first time.
'FWhoever takes this unknown
quantity vote and handles it cor
rectly. will profit" he declared.
The job in store for the Demo-
Gratis to convert" the new Negro
migrants to Chicago to the Demo-
cratic Party doesn't merit envy,
that 1t was the same old story:
southern whites versus southern
Negroes in the North. These Ne
groes, leaving the South as they
did in 1916-1919 to escape oppres-
sion. denied opportunity. lynch
ings. discrimination and segrega-
ton. have from childhood been
taught to associate these evils with
the Democratic Party 1t isn't
likely. Mr.. MacNeal thought. that
they will soon forget the reason
they left the South and join the
northern extension of political
machine they have learned to fear
and hate.

Sends Supplements
To FEPC Testimony

NEW YORK A supplement to
testimony to be placed before the
House Committee for the creation
of a permanent FEPC was sent by
NAACP Secretary Walter White,
when an invitation to appear per-
sonally before the House Sub
Committee arrived too late.
Referring to the recent state
ment by the WPB indicating dras-
tic cutbacks imminent in defense
Industries. on the day Germany
surrenders. Mr.. White said, 1T is
urgent that your Committee report
Immediately and favorably S2048
aSld press for immediate Senate
action. Postponement of action
through adjournment of Congress
until November would. in our
measured Opinion, be q catastro-
phe. Experiences of the Fair En-
ployment Practice Committee dur
ing past three years give ample
proof that minority group workers
must have protection of Federal
Legislation If they are to secure
equal employment opportunities in
post war period. Vociferous OBJ
jections of some members of Con-
gress to Government by executive
order in this difficult field would
come with better grace if Congress
would deal with the problem ef-
fectively and expeditiously by en-
acting appropriate Legislation. We
submit lie is imperative that Con-
gressional committees having be-
fore them such critical Legislation
as S2048 give evidence to Ameri-
can people of their good faith and
thereby convince a large and ever
growing segment of the American
people that something more than
political shadowboxing is taking
place. We, therefore. urge your
committee to expedite passage of
this vital and necessary Legisla-
tion."
