tablish an economy of $50 billion

by the National Association of
Manufacturers, in which they en-
visage an economy of rs to 100

Kansas City, Mo.-In a di-
rect, unprecedented personal
appeal, President Roosevelt
this week asked the AFL In
ternational Brotherhood of
Boilermakers, now in conven-
ton here, to end the unions policy
of Jim Crow locals for Negroes.
More than 1000 delegates attend
ing the convention heard the Presi-
dents letter and warmly applauded
its contents indicating that the
union may take favorable action on
a number of pending resolutions
which would wipe out the tradi-
tional policy which segregates Ne
groes into separate locals.
The President wrote: "Our war
production requires that every
worker capable of serving his coun-
try be permitted to serve regard
less of creed, race or national
origin"
Leaders Make Plea
The convention also received an
appeal from rs national Negro lead
ers to end its Jim Crow policy
which has been the cause of a num-
Der of layoffs on the West Coast
because of Negroes refusal to join
locals in which they have no rights
except to pay dues.

Becomes Mayor of
Washington, d. G..

Observation-Disclosures of a
civil rights law in the District of
Columbia, even the right to vote
because of 20 per cent Negro
population, received a severe set
back last week when Senate senior
ity rules elevated "that man" Theo-
dore Bilbo, Democratic Senator
from Mississippi, to craftsmanship
of the Senate Committee on the
District of Columbia. Bilbo becomes
virtually the ''mayor" of Washing
ton.
Death of Sen. Frederick Van
Mugs (D) of Indiana left the chair
manship of the powerful Senate
Judiciary committee vacant. To
this vacancy Senator McCarran
(D) of Nevada was named by the
Senate steering committee. McCar-
ran had been chairman of the Dis
trict committee. Unwritten rules of
the Senate prevent one Senator
holding more than one major COM
mittee craftsmanship. McCarran's
resignation from the District COM
mittee Craftsmanship led to Bilbo's
appointment.
Rev. Arthur D. Gray, president
of the local branch of the NAACP
and active in civic affairs of the
District, expressed the consensus
of Negroes when he declared: 81
certainly think that the seniority
rule which elevated Bilbo to this po-
sition is most unfortunate. l feel
the whole government Of the Dis
trict of Columbia should be non
partisan in its set-up. A m o e ca
pable and fit person should have
been selected for the place. On the
basis of Bilbo's record and state
ments, Negroes cannot expect any
