HAIL, SEABEES!

Washington, D. C.-Praising the
war record of the Seabees, Richard
Gray, Acting President of the AFL
Building and Construction Trades De-
partment, promised that every effort
would be made by affiliated unions to
find good jobs for the Seabees when
they return home at the wars end.
Text of Mr.. Gray's talk, scheduled for
delivery on the final program of the
AFL's Builders of Victory" series
over CHS, follows:
On every fighting front of this war,
the Seabees have distinguished them
selves. All America is proud of them.
They have done a miraculous job.
Labor isn't at all surprised by the
wonderful record in action made by the
Seabees. We knew they would deliver
the goods. Because they are mostly
our boys-good union members, who
laid down their tools, left their jobs
and joined the Construction Battalions
of the Navy at their country's call.
You will find among them carpen-
ters, bricklayers, operating engineers,
teamsters, electricians, boilermakers,
ironworkers and many other types of
skilled craftsmen. Every one of them
enlisted for duty and a large percent
age of them were recruited for the
Navy through unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
In this series of programs, which
concludes today, we have tried to tell
you some of the outstanding contri-
buttons made by the Seabees to vic
tory in Europe and the winning of
the war in the Pacific. These dramatic
episodes have covered only part of
the true story of courage, skill and
hard work written in blood and sweat
by the members of the Seabees on the
field of action.
Perhaps the best tribute to the Sea-
bees is the fact that they are so well
liked and so sincerely respected by
every other branch of the service. 1t
is typical of the high morals of Amer
ica's fighting forces that each outfit
regards itself as the best. But all of
them-even the Marines-take off
their hats to the Seabees.
1t goes without saying that the
American Federation of Labor joins
in that salute. But we are going to do
more than say nice things about the
Seabees. We are determined to see to
it that when they come back home,
after the war is won, they won't have
to tramp the streets, broke and hun
CRY and hunting job.
AS acting President of the Building
and Construction Trades Department
of the A. F. L., | can assure the Sea-
bees that their unions have kept them
in good standing during their service
with the armed forces and have pro-
tected their job seniority, their wage
standards and working conditions. We
are doing our part on the home front
to help win the war as quickly as pos
sible and when the fighting is over
we will make it our business to find
a good job for every worker who has
served with the Seabees.

No Unemployables',
Interviewers at Federal
Job Offices Say

Washington, d. c. (ILNS).-There
is no such term as an "unemployable"
with respect to selective placement of
the handicapped, experiences of inter-
viewers at local U. S. Employment
Services offices have proved, the War
Manpower Commission reports. At
present, it was pointed out, blind work
ers are sorting mica because of their
extraordinary sense of touch, deaf
workers are doing riveting work in
noisy war plants that would distract
those with sensitive hearing, and those
without arms or legs are doing many
types of jobs heretofore thought i'm
possible to perform by anyone but the
able-bodied.
No 'ists of jobs adaptable to the
handicapped" are now being main
tanned by the USES, VINO said, be-
cause handicapped placement has be-
come a highly individualized process.
The selective placement approach,
which has been developed by the en-
ployment service over a period of
years, is being emphasized and expand
ed in the revised manual "Selective
Placement for the Handicapped" which
was introduced at the recent VINO
conference on the handicapped at Ann
Arbor, Mich. The manual is now in
the hands of, USES interviewers but
because of it's significance to en-
ployers, especially as it concerns hir-
ing of disabled service men, copies
are to be made available to the public
through the Government Printing Of
flee later this summer, VINO officials
said.

ANTI-P0LL TAX BILL m-7

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (ANP)
The executive board of the Ma
tional Committee to Abolish the
Poll Tax met here Tuesday and
voted to direct all the energies of
the committee toward passage in
the house of the Marcantonio bill,
commonly known as HR-7.
Silent for some time, the commit
tee has had difficulty in getting
the sufficient number of it's execu-
tive board members together to act
upon the legislation now in the hop
per to eliminate the poll tax.
Full speed ahead is what Kath-
ryn Shryver, executive secretary,
said would be the motto following
the meeting. She said the commit
tee is making every preparation to
round up quickly the 218 signatures
which will be necessary to get the
bill discharged from the powerful
rules committee Nothing can be
done on this point, she said, until
the expiration Of 81 legislative
days-3O for the judiciary commit
tee to act, and Z for the rules COM
mittee. Mrs. Shryver anticipated
that the petition may be laid on the
table for signatures about the end
of February.
Meanwhile, the steering COM
mittee of house members is now
being organized under the leader
ship of Rep. George Bender (R) +,
Ohio. Mrs. Shryver also exhibited
great enthusiasm at the action of
the Georgia legislature in enacting
anti-poll tax legislation.

tlEW YORK CHAMBER
Of COMMERCE AGAINST
ANTI-Dl5(RIMINATI0N BILL

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 (ANP)-
The Chamber of Commerce of the
State of New York, went on record
as opposing anti-discrimination
legislation such as is now pending
in the state legislature.
In a resolution which reversed a
one-vote margin of a previous meet
ing, they expressed their opposi-
tion to any legislation "that de-
clares or enacts it to be, directly or
Indirectly, misdemeanor to dis
criminate against a person in en-
ployment because of race, creed,
color or national origin.
''That creates a permanent state
commission with power to investi-
gate the employment practices of
business concerns in this state and
with power to order an employer to
employ or reinstate or to promote
any employe found by the commits
sion to have been Disseminated
against because of race, creed, color
or national origin.
'That dictates to an employer in
private enterprise whom he shall
employ" the resolution concluded.
This group has been reported as
one of the powerful forces that
made Gov. Thomas E. Dewey evade
the state FEPC bill last year.

MOON and ARNOLD CLAIM INNOCENCE
DEFENDANTS OFFER ALIBI5
in HERBY MURDER TRIAL

IN HERBY MURDER TRIAL
After considerable testimony yes
terday, the state rested it's case
against George Arnold and William
James Moon, charged with first de-
gree murder in the Staying of John
Herby, July 5, 1914.
The defense, claiming an alibi for
Moon and Arnold, placed five wit
nesses on the stand yesterday before
Judges Robert U. Martin, Lester L.
Cecil and Don R. Thomas, who are
hearing the case.
Arnold and Moon both testified
that they were at home at the time
Of the attempted robbery and shoo-
ing of the Brown Derby Night club
manager. Their alleged confessions
were read in court yesterday.
Mrs. Helen Gray of 537 Ruth ave-
enue, defense witness, said Moon,
Arnold and Hugh Parks, state wit
ness, roomed at that address in 1914
and denied that Arnold, who left
last May, had returned to her house
after the crime and visited Parks.
Mrs. Marie Stewart of 227 Dunbar
avenue, sister of Arnold, testified
he came home at 1 :45 a. m. July 5
and never left the house until after
$50 a. m. when she woke him to
go to work.
Mildred Frazier of 341O Mccall
avenue said she was with Arnold
from noon July 4 to 80 a. m. July
5. Mrs. Florence Graham of 1862
West Fifth street, sister of Moon,
testified that she left him at $3.50
a. m. July 5 at Fifth and Dunbar
avenue.
Lois Moon of $50 Greencastle
street, a relative of defendant,
said Moon came to her house at
3:45 a. m. July 5 and went to bed.
A second alleged statement by
Arnold, made to Dayton police, was
admitted yesterday into evidence.
The alleged second confession con-
tanned substantially the same state
ments as his first purported state
ment. In that Arnold said that
Moon told him that he, Moon, "shot
a man" during the holdup.
Following the reading of the sec.
ond statement by the prosecution
Parks was recalled to the stand fo1
cross examination.
Parks said he did not talk to
Clark county Prosecutor Jerome A
Nevius about the Herby case while
he was in the Clark county Jail
Nevius previously testified that he
had talked with Parks about the
case.

East Asia Seen Protected
From New War Threats

MOSCOW, Dec 81 ON. Pol
yanov, writer in KomsomolSkaya
Pravda, yesterday said the freedom
of people of Eastern Asia forever
should be removed from the threats
of new war" as the result of the
Moscow Foreign Ministers Confer
ence.
One cannot fail to note that the
friendship of the great powers, born
in the storms of warfare, continue
to develop in the days of peace also,
he wrote.
He said that the 11-member Far
Eastern mmiSsion and the four
power co il for Japan, agreed on
by the tn : Foreign Ministers, had
the task o. preventing a revival OF
the "disG sting Samurai bandit
spirit so Characteristic of Japan"
The agreement on Korea also
helps this cause of strengthening
the postwar peace in the Far East"
he said. Korea was one of the first
victims of Japanese aggression. This
small country drank to the bottom
all the bitterness, suffering and hui
initiation, but now before her open
broad paths for free development"

Koreans Stone Yanks
In Violent Protest
OF Trusteeship Plan
Hy the Associated Press.

SEOUL. Korea, Dec. 20 (De-
layed) Korean hotheads fought
in the streets of Seoul and threw
rocks at American soldiers today
in violent protest against the
Big Three's five-year trusteeship
plan for their country.
Rightist speakers addressed q
mass meeting which demanded i'm
mediate recognition of a Korean
provisional government, called for a
strike of Koreans employed by the
American Military Government and
branded opponents of independence
now as traitors.
In an attempt to forestall more
demonstrations against the trustee
ship program, announced after the
Observation-Disclosures confer
ence at Moscow last week, American
military authorities who control
Southern Korea ordered an pm.
curfew.
(There was no report of the
Korean reaction to the program
Al avn 1A0l WllC1C Vic
Russians are in control)
Koreans, craving independence
after nearly a half century as a
colony of Japan, were inflamed by
the Big Three program for a trus-
teeship by the United States, Russia,
Britain and China while Korea
learns to walk unaided among ma
lions.
Huge posters on Seoul buildings
charged the Communist party with
responsibility of the trusteeship
plan.
Hundreds of Koreans employed by
the American military government
walked off the job; a mob attacked
the office of newspaper which
Rightists declared had Communist
leanings; banks closed and police
men left their posts.
A Communist party spokesman,
blaming the Rightists for the out
breaks, said all Leftist groups, in
Guiding the Communists had been
advised to limit their actions to
peaceful protests.
1t. Gen. John R. Hodge, Amer
lean commander in Southern Korea,
explained to Korean newspapermen
that the plan did not mean that
t1uSteeship of their country would
be imposed Immediately.
Gen. Hodge said the plan was
drafted for Korea's own protection
and he gave his opinion that the
nations patriots and Nationalist
had nothing to fear from it.
