indignation and resentment OF both
Negro and white organizations in
the "power-house OF victory" con-
corning the status OF Negro Amer

The congress and its affiliates feel
that the present jim-crow set-up in
the military Is needless waste OF
man-power, that victory will be
speeded by the complete integra-
ton OF Negro men and women into
the armed forces.
The Wayne County council OF the

Whereas: Discrimination against

Whereas: Such discriminatory

Whereas: Such practices are
harmful and damaging TO the mo,

Employment in the islands is
BASED primarily upon the produc-

HE explained that sugar production
required more actual labor than
does cattle raising. and that in the

While there is no longer a WPA,
he added. the government will in
abe course OF time have to devise
some subsidy plan.
