Bishop Hartmann told dinner
guests. 81 have a deep respect,
a profound admiration for The
Community Church Of Boston
for helping to lead the way in
this revolution during these try

warfare and underprivilege. So
ciety can and must reconstruct
itself truly along the lines OF
brotherhood and fellowship,
Bishop Hartmann continued, "or
else the desire to flee from the
wrath resulting from our I'M
solved social, economic and poll
teal problems will usurp posi-
tive, liberal faith"
Rev. Lothrop, whom all know,
is most liberal in his views,
made an eloquent plea for
equality for all.

Segregation: It's Vicious
Purpose

Segregation is the special
American means of branding
colored Americans as the in
feriors of interiors in public
status.
when the white South
found itself confronted with
the federal status of equality
for colored people, the former
equality OF citizen
ship, of freedom, of franchise
rights, backed by the nation
al government - it selected
the denial of presence and of
service in places opened for
public patronage as the one
great way to brand colored
people as having been a slave
race and make them forever
the scorn of civil society.
ut is a very effective meas
ure. Colored people are trail
tors to themselves to aid and
abet the idea by self-segrega-
ton"

Washington, D. C.-The principle of severance pay to cushion tempor- ary postwar employment adjust ments should be extended to all workers, the American Federation of Labor urged.
 The severance-pay allowance was embodied in the National War La- Dor Boards recent decision in the steel wage case.
 The AFL views were given in a concurring opinion by George Meany, secretary treasurer, and Matthew Woll, vice-president. They welcomed the WLB's dis m1Ssal-pay order for steel workers, but cOntended the entire steel deci- sion did not represent the full measure of justice due these work ers because nothing was done to grant requested general wage in- crease.
 The board has approved the principle of dismissal pay and com- mitted itself to order such pay- ments should the parties fail to bar gain on the issue successfully with in 60 days," they said.
 By this action all other workers will be able to insulate themselves partially against the shocks of re- conversion. The American Fedora

 MT. Meany and Mir. Woll said that, otherwise, the VILE extended to steel workers merely the bene- fits of its established policies on certain fringe issues" relating to vacations, holidays and mainten- ance of membership ,whlie main- taining an obstinate, ill-advised position" against a general wage increase.
 Despite exhaustive studies of the cost of living and an abundance of corroborating testimony from the workers themselves" they added, the majority of the WLB refuses to consider the prima facie case against the Little Steel formula and to make specific recommendation to the President.
 'T'his entire case was designed to convince the WLB that the 15 per cent maladjustment allowance Git. tie Steel formula to offset the rise in the cost of living was unjust and negotiable. The refusal of the WLB to act on this issue again demonstrates clearly that the board has succeeded in freezing wages by delay and inaction."

Where, When
How, Question

Washington, Feb. 22-AP-A LOT
OF where, when and how remained
to be answered today in regard to
application Of the government S
new sports travel reduction policy.
The Office OF Defense Transpor-
tation has disclosed that II is ask
ing all sports 10 reduce passenger
mileage by % per cent on a home
field basis, with major league
baseball being the first to make
. the cut. Play on neutral" fields
will be eliminated.
Among unanswered questions as
to how the policy will apply are
/ these:
What will the effect be on tennis
/ and golf tournaments in which in
dividuals instead OF teams COM
| pete?
viii intercolleg iate basketball
championships such as those in
Kansas City and New York, and
major track meets like the Drake
and Penn relays be eliminated?
When will the overall policy go
into effect?
The ODT said the answers TO
such questions will be forthcoming
shortly" in formal announcement
Of the policy.
Particular attention" will be
/ paid to all such problems, the ODT
said, adding that a starting time"
fol the policy to go into effect
probably will be set soon. No indi-
cation was given as to what that
1 date Nigh. be.
Baseball, despite being the first
| to feel the 25-per cent travel cur
tailmeint, necessitating cancella-
ton of the all-star game, possibly
the World Series and some eXhibis
ton games, apparently was happier
than it has been in months.
War Mobilization Director James
F. Byrnes was friendly and court
eous" in discussing baseball's man
power difficulties but Prick and
Harridge realize that not even
Byrnes can see the Wy until Con
gress acts on pending work-or-else
legislation.
Specifically. this is what ODT
asked Of baseball in cutting its
mileage % per cent:
Games will be played only IN
the .ome city OF one or the other
competing teams. Elimination of
exhibition games on neutral"
fields except at Army and Navy
establishments. Preseason train
ing will continue to be held at
places in or near the home city Of
each team.
2-Team rosters, when travel
ling, will be reduced to minimum.
3.-The World Series games will
be held only II transportation and
war conditions at the time permit.
ALI clubs will re-examine their
schedules and make such further
transportation savings as are pos
sible.
