Brituin Urged to
Clarity Stdnd on Indio
WASHINGTON, D. G. (NNPA)

Qualification of it's stand on India
independence as a means of saving
thousands of American lives was
urged upon Britain last week in the
House of Representatives by Rep
Calvin Johnson (R. of ILL.,.
eff the lives of these American
soldiers were not involved" John
son said, "the Indian question would
not directly concern the United
States. But with Britain and the
United States pledged to crush
Japan together, the issue becomes
more than a dispute between India
and Britain"
The Congressman urged prompt
consideration by the House Foreign
Affairs Committee of his recent
resolution to declare persona non
grata". two diplomatic ministers
representing Britain and India in
Washington for alleged efforts to
mold American public opinion with
regard to the Indian question. The
ministers are Girja Shankar Bal
pal, minister for India, and Ronald
Campbell, minister extraordinary
and envoy plenipotentiary for Great
Britain.
Thousands of Negro troops, most
ly in service forces, are stationed
in India.

ROLE OF NEGRO IN BUILDING
ALCAN HIGHWAY DRAM
ATIZED ON RADIO

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
The contribution of American Ne
groes to the winning of the war
was dramatized over a national
hookup of NBC last Saturday eve
ming, in a program "They Call Me
joe"
Central theme of the story was
developed around the work of the
famed 9th Engineers, who built "a
read through a continent of forest"
One of these engineers, Sgt. Jack
son, was driver of a bulldozer, and
after many months working in
freezing weather and nearly i'm
passable forests and deep mud
finally made contact, with a white
regiment coming from the other
direction to complete the Alcan
Highway.
The script, however, heaped
praise on Negro units fighting all
over the world. It cited the 93rd
Infantry Division at Bougainville,
the 99th Fighter Squadron at Anzio,
and many other fighting units in
which Negroes have played an i'm
portant part.

Sailors On Trial
For Refusal To
Load Ships

San Francisco (NNPA).-Fifty
Negro sailors are on trial for mu-
tiny in California, charged with
disobedience of orders, the NNPA
learned this week. They were men,
bers of the ammunition loading
crews who escaped from the Port
Chicago explosions which killed
over 300 Negroes on July II.
In response to an inquiry, the
NNPA has obtained this EXCLU-
SIVE statement from the Navy De-
partment:
Immediately following the Port
Chicago explosion, Navy personnel
which made up the ammunition
loading crews were given short fur
loughs before beginning loading
operations at new location in the
San Francisco area.
after the men had been at work
at the new location a few days,
slightly more than 300 Negro en-
listed men refused to continue on
the job. When orders to work were
repeated individually to the men,
all but 258 men returned to work.
"The commandant of the Twelfth
Naval District then visited the To-
cation to address the insubordinate
group. He explained the i'm
portance of their work to Naval
operations and the serious conse-
quences of refusing to obey orders.
The men were given an oppor-
tunity to explain the reasons for
their actions. About rs did so, and
spoke freely and respectfully.
"After this visit all but Al of the
men stated they would comply with
the orders and did so. Later six
men stopped work again.
"The approximately 200 men who
stayed away from work but re-
turned to the job after the visit
were tried in summary courts and
fined. No further action will be
taken against these men.
"The so men who refused to go
back to work after the COM
mandant's visit are those who are
now on trial before a general court
for disobedience of orders"

County Attorney Warns
Hotels, Restaurants, Taverns
Against Race Discrimination
Hennepin Co. Attorney
Michoel Dillon Writes
Associations

Cognizant of the increased
violation of the Minnesota
Civil Rights statute, Michael
J. Dillon, Hennepin County At
tOrney, issued a warning last
Thursday, September IA, to
Minneapolis hotel, restaurant and
tavern owners in letter pointing
out that violators are subject to
prosecution.
In his communication to the Min
neapolis Restaurant Association,
the Minneapolis Liquor Dealers
Association and the Minneapolis
Hotel Association, Mr.. Dillon wrote:
1 wish to draw your atten-
ton to section 1921, chapter
579, of the Laws of Minnesota
for the year 1913, which states
as follows:
mo person shall be excluded, on account
of race, color, national origin or religion,
from full and equal enjoyment of any ac-
commodation, advantage, or privilege fur
nished by public conveyances, theaters, or
other public places of amusement, or by ho-
tells, barber shops, saloons, restaurants,
or other places of refreshment, entertain
ment, or accommodation. Every person
who violates any provision of this section,
or aids or incites another to do SO, shall be
guilty of a gross misdemeanor and in addi-
ton to the penalty therefor, shall be liable
in a civil action to the person aggrieved
for damages not exceeding $780,"
Complaints have come to this
office from time to time stating
that discrimination has been prac-
ticed by certain restaurants and
hotels, especially where colored
people are concerned. Naturally,
the colored people feel quite ag-
grieved about this discrimination
as do the big majority of the white
people. The law is very clear on
the subject and 1 feel it proper to
tell you that any @. operator vio-
lating this statute is subject to
prosecution.
I, personally, should be very glad
to feel that l will have the cooper
alton of the Minneapolis Associa-
tions in the enforcement of this
law. 1t is for this reason that
am writing this letter so that a
copy of this law may be sent to
every member of your Association
to the end that they may be proper
ly advised of it's existence and its
contents so that violations may not
occur through ignorance or mad
vertence.
1t might be well for members of
the Association to instruct their
employees that colored people
should not be refused accommoda-
tons or service solely because of
the fact that they are colored. I
know that your Association is in
terested in good business practices
carried on according to law and in
spirit of tolerance and good will.
Yours very truly,
MICHAEL D. DILLON,
County Attorney,
County of Hennepin,
400 Court House,
Minneapolis, Minnesota.

yourself indispensable, be a gentle
man, be clean, and you will attain
success" He hopes his record will
be an incentive to Negro youth to
enter into an industry providing
craftsmanship and rise to the top.
Mr.. Hughes brothers, James of
St. Paul and Percy C. of Mime
apolis were among those he helped
train in the early days. James is
foreman of the ink roller depart

WOULDN'T GIVE DROP OF
BLOOD TO J. C. RED CROSS
FATHER MILLS

Baltimore.-"I wouldn't give a
drop of blood to the Red Cross so
long as it maintains it's un-Chris-
tan policy of segregating blood of
colored and white DONORS" Father
Cedric E. Mills, rector of st. James
Pc Church, told his congregation,
Sunday morning.
Father Mills said that while con-
tributing to the Red Cross was a
personal matter that everyone had
to decide for himself, it was impos-
sible for him to bow to the undemo-
cratic and un-Christian policies of
the sO-called welfare organization.

ARMY TAKES OVER THERESA
HOTEL IN NEW YORK
Washington, D. C. (NNPA).-
The Army was to announce on Fri
day that the Theresa Hotel, swanky
rendezvous of out-of-towners visit
ing New York and the home of
many prominent and permanent
guests" in Harlem, is to be used as
redistribution center for battle
weary soldiers returned from over
seas combat areas. All civilian
guests and residents of the hotel
will be evacuated. There is a slight
chance this plan may be changed
after protests of Negro leaders.
The Theresa is the second Negro
hotel to be taken over for this pur-
pose. The week before, the Perish
ing Hotel in Chicago was taken.
The loss of the Theresa for
civilian use will be severe blow
to Harlem's housing problem for
both in and out-of- towners. The
hotel was constantly filled to the
rafters, and reservations were more
difficult to obtain there than at the
McAlpin, the Pennsylvania, the
New Yorker, the Commodore, the
Edison, and many other of the
downtown" hotels.

ING URGED FOR VETERANS
BUREAU POST
Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
The proposal to place a Negro ii
the Veterans administration, where
the handling of the welfare of re,
turning veterans will be concen
trated under the CT Bill of Rights
and other veteran legislation, is
catching on like the prairie fire
The Negro press, leaders and or.
CARNATIONS are insisting that such
representative should not be g
race relations adviser" but an as.
sistant administrator.
The NNPA has learned that con-
siderable influential strength is be-
ing put behind the urging of Col
Campbell C. Johnson for the post
Col Johnson is not an applicant
He is unaware, probably, that his
name is being suggested. But there
is general consensus that no
other person is better qualified by
experience and temperament for
the job.

China Raises
Race Equality
Issue At ParIey
ONLY RUSSIA EXPECTED TO
SUPPORT CHINA'S STAND

Washington, D. C. (NNPA).-
The principle of equality of all
races, acknowledgment of which
China is expected to request of the
future world security organization
now being formulated at the Dunn
barton Oaks Conference here, prob
ably will receive support only from
Russia, according to informed
sources here.
The United States and Great
Britain probably will oppose such
a clause in the document drawn up
for the new organization.
The Chinese document for the
Dumbarton Oaks conference is the
only one submitted it has been
learned, which advocates that men,
bers of the security organization
should accept the principle of equal
ity of all races and all states.
Great Britain and the United
States are reported to have agreed
that colonial policies and possess
sions would be no part of the Dunn
barton Oaks discussions, despite the
role these questions must inevita-
bly, play in any lasting and secure
peace of the world.
Great Britain is said to oppose
the inclusion of the race equality
clause because of her Pacific do
miniOns where there is supposedly
a strong anti Oriental feeling.
The United States opposition is
said to be based on both the NEGRO
problem" and the anti-Japanese
sentiment on the West Coast.
In 1919, it was Japan which as
sumed the role of championing the
equality of all races which is now
being urged by China. The pro-
posal was rejected then by the
U. S. and Great Britain.
