WASHINGTON, DC. (APl-The
 Federil Communications Com mission voted unanimously against any prohibition, against future acquisition of radio stations by newspapers.

Dixie Bus Driver
Kills Negro Soldier
In Cold Blood

DURHAM, N. G. (NNPA)-An-
other Negro soldier, wearing the
uniform of his country, was slain
in cold blood by bus driver here
last week. He was Pvt. Booker T.
Speedy, of Tuskegee, Ala. He died
from gunshot wounds in a hospital.
The driver who left the soldier ly-
ing on the ground and finished
driving his route, later gave him
self up to police and was immedi-
ately released on $4,000 bond.
According to the War Depart
ment, board of officers is investi-
eating the manner of the soldiers
death, and another investigation
will be made by the office of the
Inspector General.
The Department of Justice is
studying the case to determine
whether the Civil Rights statutes
of the United States will apply. If
in North Carolina, as is true in
many states, bus drivers are depu-
tiled as peace officers, the driver
will be amenable to prosecution
under the federal statutes. If not,
then the federal government is
powerless to act.

groes had no second choice.
Wallace told his press confer
ence that the Presidents letter to
the permanent chairman of the con-
vention, Senator Jackson of Indi-
ana, expressing his preference for
Wallace but refraining from die
tating a choice to the convention
did exactly what he had suggested
to the President he thought the
President should do.
Byrnes' withdrawal has been in
terpreted by many Negro observers
as partially resulting from their
very definite opposition to the nom
ination of a Southerner on the
ticket with Roosevelt.
What this all adds up to will
not be known until Fridays ballot

French Leader
Praises Africans

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
Declaring that the form of the
French empire after the war will
be entirely different from what it
was before, Gen. Charles DeGaulle,
leader of the French Committee of
National Liberation, in a press con-
ference this week following three
days of talks with President Roose-
welt, expressed the view that every
territory where the French flag flies
would be represented in the fedora
ton as proposed at the Brazzaville
conference held last Spring.
Frances policy is to bring all
its colonies to a degree of self
administration, and gradually to
self-government," he said.
He stated not one territory over
which the French flag flies has left
France during a years of oppression,
and not one territory has refused
to make its contribution for the
liberation of France and of the
world.
Speaking of the contribution of
French natives in Africa, he termed
theirs as very large. There are
over two-thirds African elements in
the French forces at present en-
gagged in the war in Italy and other
areas, he disclosed. The general
also pointed out that we must not
forget the very considerable con-
tribution made by the population
of the colonies in producing cotton,
rubber, minerals and other war ma
terials, which are such great help
to the war effort.

CarOlinians Lose
In Seat Fight
at Demo Meet

CHICAGO, July II (By Wire)-
Despite being rebuffed in their eff
fort to be seated as the accredited
delegates from South Carolina, the
group of eighteen Negroes from
that State, headed by John McCray,
has pledged its support to President
Roosevelt. This was announced in
an executive session of the Ma
tional Democratic committee today
by Oscar Ewing, vice chairman of
the National committee, following
hearings held on the South Carolina
seating contest.
Ewing told the committee that a
subcommittee had held hearings
and that both groups of delegates
made a fair presentatin of their
claims, but no challenge had been
made of the proper election of the
regular delegates. He then recon-
mended that the regular delegation
be seated. In the hearing, the Negro
group told the subcommittee that
it considered itself representative
citizens of the State of South Caro-
lima who are DESTROYS of participant
ing in the political activities of
their State as members of the
Democratic party. They reported
that they had asked the Democratic
party of their State to allow them
to participate in the party's affairs.
They used every process and ex-
hausted every avenue to gain par
ticipation within the party's frame
work. When they were refused,
they had to organize their own
Democratic party.
Maybank Contests
Senator Maybank of South Caro-
lima also appeared before the COM
mittee to contest the desire of the
Negroes to be seated. Before en-
tering the hearing, during an hour
wait to be called (Which show the
Importance he attached to hearing
being heard), he told reporters that
he considered the Constitution SUI
preme and that the question of Ne
groes voting in South Carolina pri-
maries had never been brought be-
fore the courts. That there likely
will be no further contest on the
part of the South Carolina Negro
delegation before the Credentials
committee for seating was indi-
Gated by the fact that some Of them
obtained reservations to leave Chi
cago Immediately after the deci-
sion of the executive session Of the
National committee.
