WAR CHANGING RACE IDEAS
By Margaret Taylor Goss

b. Margaret Taylor Goss
War is horror and we all will
be inestimably happy when our vic
torious allied armies cross the
Threshold of victory in this peo-
pies war of national liberation. But
war, besides bringing drastic tragic
changes, also brings in it's wake
some things which indicate that in
the postwar world we may live
on a higher plane of democracy.
| should like to deal with one small
aspect, and that is understanding
between diverse people.
l should like to quote from Drew
Pearson who reported in one of
his recent columns an incident that
occurred in Washington when
members of the Mississippi con-
gressional delegation met to well
come one of their states war he
roes. Bilbe asked the young soldier
who had fought with distinction in
several European theaters how he
got along with the Negroes over
there. Bilbe and the entire delega-
ton were set back on their heels
when the lieutenant stated that he
had fought with the Negro boys
and had found them just as good
fighters as the white boys. He went
on to say further that he and a lot
ofother southern boys had changed
their ideas a lot about Negroes
since the war.
Pearson states that Bible then
launched into a long peroration
about what a great friend of the
Negro race he is, telling about his

RED GRANGE WELCOMES
NEGROES IN new
FOOTBALL LEAGUE

FORT VALLEY, Ca, Feb. Ia
(ANP)-In answer to an inquiry
from DR.. Horace Mann Bond of
Fort Valley State college as presi-
dent Of the Conference of Presi-
dents of the Negro Land Grant
colleges, Harold "Red" Grange,
"Galloping Ghost" of former
years, now president Of a newly
that the new professional foot
league, places himself unequivocal-
ly on record as favoring the use of
Negro players in big time profes-
sional football.
Acting on suggestion made by
President William Gray Of Flor
ida A. & M. college, DR.. Bond ad-
dressed an official request for, a
statement of policy on the part of
the new organization, pointing out
that the colleges of the south were
fertile fields for new prospects,
and that there was no doubt that
Negro athletes could make the
grade in big-time football. He also
pointed to the fact that the use of
Negroes would be a big drawing
card for the new league.
Mr.. Oranges answer follows:
1T may interest you to know
that the new professional foot
ball league, which I represent, has
already agreed 100 percent to use
Negro athletes. In fact, I have
talked to a number of outstanding
Negro football players, and have
assured them that our new league
has set up no barriers. Any ath-
lete, regardless of color, will be in
vited to try out for our teams, and
if he has the ability, he will be well
coined into our organization.
"You are perfectly right in your
assumption that there are many
Negro athletes who could qualify
for big league competition. In my
estimation, it is time to recognize
this fact. The Negro boys are
fighting for our country; they GER
tainly are entitled to play in our
professional big leagues.
l THANK for your interest.

a scout!'

11-3 VOTE FAV0R5
PASSAGE ON new YORK
AhTI-BIAS JOB BILL

ALB Y, N. Y, Feb. IA
(ANP)-Much stir is being raised
in connection with the anti-bias
job bill, known as the Ives bill,
which proposes to set up a five
man commission to wipe out dis
criminatory practices. The meas
ure, however, advanced a step near
it's passage Tuesday when the ways
and means committee voted II to
8 in favor of reporting it to the
assembly. According to a count
the three dissenting votes were
cast by Republicans. The bill, it
is predicted, has good chances of
carry along numerous amend
ments.
One of the first amendments
introduced by the Ways and Means
committee itself, was that the five
commissioners be required to de-
vote full time to their official du-
ties. The proposal was adopted on
the basis that the governor could
in this way obtain higher caliber
Of men to form the group. This
amendment may affect the serv-
ices of Charles H. Tuttle, former
U. S. attorney for the southern
district of New York, who served
without pay as counsel to the tenn
porary commission.
Such men as Tuttle, who have
responsible positions and profes.
sions, could not we'll devote full
time to even a cause such as the
Ives bill, it is explained.
Another amendment which is
underway is that of striking out
the penal provisions of the pro.
posed law which make any person
employer, labor organization OF
employment agency wilfully resist
ing or interfering with the com
mission in the act of duty, guilty
of a misdemeanor and subject tt
fine of $500 or Imprisonment fol
one year, or both, for each offense
Sponsors criticize that this amend
ment would destroy the effective
ness of the bill.

tion surrounding permanent FEPC
legislation in the senate mounted
steadily, spurred by the action of
Sen. Robert A. Taft, (R., Ohio) in
submitting his own measure which
would provide an FEPC as an ad-
visory or study group without any
enforcement powers at all.
Declared the National Council
for a Permanent FEPC, leading
organization in the campaign for
enactment of the legislation: "It
is a misnemer to call the commits
sion proposed in Sen. Taft's new
bill permanent fair employment
practice commission. This bill is
a bill to create a permanent in
vestigation commission to deter
mine whether there is economic
discrimination in this country. We
submit that this is a waste of tax
payers money. Only last Septem-
ber, Sen. Taft acknowledged that
economic discrimination does not
exist when he concurred in the fa-
vorable report of his senate COM
mittee on education and labor on
the bill to establish permanent
FEPC with enforcement powers. !"
Declaring, in statement re-
leased when he introduced the bill
heretofore introduced in the senate
(S-101, the Chavez bill, sponsored
jointly by four Democratic and
three Republican senators includ-
ing the New Mexico member after
whom it is popularity called) will
hinder progress toward solving the
problem rather than achieve it. :"
In his statement Taft said that
although the Republican conven-
tion last year endorsed establish
ment of a permanent FEPC by
federal legislation he did not wish
''to have this bill regarded as in
any way as an official Republican
bill. 1t is entirely my own person
al suggestion as to the proper
method in which that pledge should
be carried out"
Prior to his introduction of the
bill, Taft was blasted in a state
ment by William H. HASTE, chair
man of the national legal commit
tee of the NACP, who said, follow
ing conference between Taft and
a delegation of which HASTE was
a member and to which Taft re-
vealed blandly his opposition to en-
forcement powers for FEPC, that
the senator Stands self-convicted
as political chameleon, a pre-elec-
ton friend and a post-election fee
Of permanent FEPC legislation. y
HASTE further cited Taft's ad-
mission to the delegation that his
support of the bill in committee
last year was given with the un-
derstanding that the bill would not
be passed.

Junior activities have been scarce
and almost all the members are
busy with their work. Just re-
Gently. Vince Moore was dis
charged and it is needless to say
how happy Tillie and the two
children must be and we are too.
Speaking Of service men, Nichv
Kaiser is at camp With her hus
band. Overseas. two brothers
Gus and Rudy Falk met some
where in France. 1t is not hard
to realize how happy our boys
would be meeting member Of
the family or just a friend from
back home.
Gone but not forgotten is the
day not so long ago when Mary
Cntch received a dozen red roses
for her birthday. Need | say
more:
Also did you know Mary Vo-
gelhuber writes letter nightly
to Saxon sailor boy:
Minnie Grill and HiIda From
ius keep the wires hot every day.
Betty Schuster has received
her diploma and nov is working
as a beautian here in town. Nice
going Betty.

her trade agreements up to date with
Sweden, Turkey and Switzerland.
Realism is present, also, in their
arrangement for exchange of goods.
This Letter suggested some weeks ago
the possible wisdom of an exchange
method as means of settling accounts
between us and our allies, with view
to stock-piling some OF the essential
raw material we have expended so
recklessly for the common war effort.
The Swiss agreement was negotiated
Jointly by Britain, France and the
United States. 1t assures Switzerland
the same assistance granted to France
and other European nations. 1t has
earmarks of being an economic war
fare agreement as it prevents the ship
ment of coal and precision instruments
to Germany, and prevents the use Of
Swiss transportation for German
armed foDces, all for a period of five
years.
We in our turn are strengthening
the framework of our foreign person
nell. At the moment, new appointees
with business background are being
enrolled in the auxiliary foreign serv-
ice and will be given intensive training
in the Commerce Department.
1t is highly important that we have
an increasing number of well-qualified
