right to work on account of race,
which is the issue in this case, be
declared unlawful" the brief states.
During the coming months this
question will become even more
acute as reconversion and the con-
sequent shrinkage of jobs may
cause discrimination against Ne

hold in industry during the war;"
The brief supports the suit of
two Negro firemen, Tom Tunstall
and Bester Steele, against the

NEGRO EXHIBIT AIDS
RACE RELATIONS

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA (ANP)
"A pictorial exhibit titled 'The
Negro in American Life" and show
ing the role played by Negro people
since Bunker Hill has been displayed
in 27 states, including four in the
south, and in the opinion of the
Council Against Intolerance in
America, is contributing widely to
better inter-racial understanding.
The exhibit originated at meet
ing of the adult council of the Henry
Street settlement in downtown New
York. The group wanted to do some
thing to bring about mutual regard
among the majority and Americas
minorities. The idea was taken to
John Becker, public relations ad-
wiser for the council, who developed
it and won for it the sponsorship of
the council.
The exhibit consists of 26 large
placards, each 2Ox3O inches in size
upon which have been mounted
carefully selected photographs and
small amount of textyThe placard
groupings have been classified to
show the Negroes contribution in
wars, science, arts, music and other
pursuits.
Used in schools and libraries
throughout New York, the exhibit
has been requested by similar insti-
tutions elsewhere. Eight private
schools have used it as focus for
study as we'll as six single public
schools and six entire public school
systems. Nineteen interacial organ
izations, 26 churches and religious
conferences, seven colleges, seven
libraries, three unions and 16 mis-
cellaneous groups make up the re-
quests between April and Septem-
Der. Six organizations have pur-
chased the exhibit.
Arrangements for shipping are
made through Mary Draper of the
Council Against Intolerance in
America, New York City.

Heads for Alaska
After leaving Hawaii, the Presi-
dent said I'VE headed for the
Aleutians and four days later, ar
irving at Adak, one of the most
westerly islands of the group, there
found intense activity and what
might be called a nearly completed
advance base. 1t was from here
great part of the expeditions in
the recapture of Attu and Kiska
had started Adak, two years ago
a bleak and practically uninhabit-
ed island and with other Aleutian
Islands,, seemed relatively unim-
portant in the plans for security of
our continent.
The Japanese Threat
You here we'll realize the COM
motion that followed the Japanese
occupation OF Kiska and Attu and
may have thought the Chiefs of
Staff in Washington were not pay
ing enough attention to the threat
against the Alaska Coast. We real
lied, of course, that such a Japan
ese course could become serious il
unopposed but we also knew that
Japan did not have naval and air
power to carry this into effect
without greater resources, time and
plan for preparations to throw
Japan toeholds that had been laid
even before the japanese got there.
THE rest of the story you know
1t took great preparations and
heavy fighting to eject them at
Attu BY the time the great ex-
petition to recapture Kiska got
there, the japanese decided dis
erection was the better part Of valor
and they decided retirement and
retreat was better than hari kari
They abandoned the Aleutians.
Safe from Invasion
The climate of Adak is not the
most inviting in the world but
want to say a word of appreciation
to the thousands of officers and
men of all services who built this
base and other bases in the ex-
IRENE Northwest in such a sholt
time, to a point where the people
Of the Pacific Coast and British
Columbia and Alaska can feel cer-
tain we are safe against Japanese
invasion on a large scale.
Visits Kodiak
Delayed by fog and rain, we
had to give up putting into Dutch
Harbor but did stop at Kodiak.
Here also, three services have COM
pleted very excellent although a
smaller base. This was the first
little town 1 had seen in Alaskan
waters and the first trees made me
think of the coasts of Maine and
Newfoundland We were told that
a number OF officers and men IN
this and other ports were consid-
ering settling in Alaska after the
war and l hope this is so because
the development of Alaska has only
been scratched 1t is still a coun-
try of pioneers and only small
part of its mineral resources have
been explored There is of course
an abundance Of fish, game and
timber and together with the great
possibilities of agriculture.
Il could not help remembering
the climate and crops and other
resources are not essentially differ
ent from northern Europe, Norway,
Sweden and Finland and the peo-
pies of these countries, in spite Of
the cold winter and darkness have
brought their civilization to'a high
prosperous level.

ulation but which l am convinced
has great opportunities for those
willing to work hard and build up
all kinds Of new things and new
lands"

A Remarkable Map

The many members of the Ma
tional Geographic society have re-
ceived the remarkable new map of
Japan and adjacent regions put out
recently by that organization.
This is the first time that de-
tailed map has been computed with
the geographic heart of Toxic as its
center. The National Geographic
Bulletin states that the exact spot
is Tokio's central railway station
about which cluster the imperial pal
ace, the central post office and the
Marunouchi building, one of the
city's largest official structures.
The map has been compiled OF
entirely new base material and is
being used by the general staff and
other government departments
which opened their files to the Ma
tional Geographic researchers for
its preparation.
Just because we have our eyes on
western Europe at the moment is no
reason why we should forget what is
going on in the Pacific. Fortunately,
our forces have been built up there
to the point where we can carry on
simultaneous action with the move
ments of the armies in Europe.
