MAY Open DOWNTOWN
TKEATER IN new YORK

NEW YORK, Sept. 18 (ANP)-
Harlem theatrical interests which
have done we'll financially in that
area are reported angling for a
downtown theater which would be
suitable for a policy designed to
attract Negro trade. The assump-
tion is that such a house would not
be used to deflect Negro patronage
from other theaters but rather to
serve as a showplace which would
make number of Negro acts avail
able to downtown theatergoers. No
location has as yet been suggested.

ADVOCATES ALL-NEGRO JURY
IN MURDER CASES

MACON, Ca, Sept. 18 (ANP)
H. Garrett, solicitor-gen-
eral of Bibb county, advocates that
all-Negro juries should try murder
cases involving Negro defendants,
stating that he believes they would
be more concerned with the trial of
a Negro homicide case than an all
white jury.
Garrett stated further that
should there be available two jur-
les, one with white jurors, the 9TH
er with Negro jurors, that he
would try all white cases before
white jurors and all-Negro cases
before Negro jurors.
The superior court of Bibb coun-
ty has II murder cases on docket
for the fall, all of which are Ne
gro cases.
The solicitor-general pointed out
that the acquisition of such jury
would involve many difficulties,
especially under the present set-up
but he felt that an all-Negro jury
would produce better results.

FEpC STILL Silent ON
CAPITAL TRANSIT

ASHIN GTON, Sept. 18
(ANP)-There appears to be no
immediate intention on the part of
the Fair Employment Practice
Committee to release it's findings
and possible directive in the case
of the Capital Transit company of
Washington, it is learned here.
Readying itself to meet in Chi
cago, committee spokesman denied
that the subject would be on the
agenda. On the other hand, it is
understood that the committee did
take up the subject nearly month
ago and agreed that the findings
which had been tentatively pre-
pared then should be rewritten in
light of the ending of the war.
At the height of the arguments
over an appropriation for the COM
mittee, Chairman Malcolm Ross
was taking steps to give effectlVe-
ness to directives which had been
agreed upon in the particular case.
These steps we're taken among CO.
operating government agencies.
The reason why nothing public was
done then was because of possible
adverse reactions on the appropria-
tions fight.
Finally, with the ending Of the
war and the elimination of war in
dustries as a category of concern
for the committee, it became evil
dent that directives based upon
such a contingency-namely prose-
cution of the would not hold
up. Hence the decision to rewrite
the document.
No satisfactory reason has yet
been found for holding up longer
issuance of the findings and a di-
rective.

RENEWED RATI0NING
HINTED BY PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18-Pres-
ident Truman told Americans in ef-
feet today that they may have to
put up with some food rationing for
months, in order to feed the hun
cry abroad.
The duration of food controls
will depend largely, he said, upon
arrangements for financing foreign
food shipments.
The resumption of rationing on
some items now freed of distribu-
tion controls is not an impossibility,
he said.
In statement on needs of war
torn countries, Mr.. Truman recalled
a pledge he made after his return
from the Potsdam conference to
the effect that this country would
provide food and other supplies to
devastated areas to "the limit of
our strength"
"That pledge, made not only to
our allies, but to the American peo-
pie, must be kept" he said.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Agri-
culture Anderson promised further
liberalization of meat rationing for
October. He said supplies at the
annual rate of 140 pounds per per-
son will be available for civilians
next month.
This compares with a rate of
about 1872 pounds available this
month, lis pounds during the
sprin and summer, and lat
pounds in 1914.
The secretary said the duration
of meat rationing will depend upon
how much will be sent abroad.
Anderson added that sugar ra-
tioning may have to be continued
into 1916, but he expressed hope
that rationing of food fats-in-
Guiding butter, margarine, lard and
shortening be ended by Janu-
ary 1.

CAPITAL COPS
 CAUSE BATTLE
By Frederick c. OTHMAN

Washington, Jan. 29 - (U.P0 - Louisiana's Representative E. Ed ward Hebert, holding forth an office fitted with shaded lamps, potted plants, coffee tables, jars of pra- lines and cigarette boxes full of smokes, went to work today on a | gentleman he calls an old sour-puss. Meaning Secretary of Interior Harold L. IckeS.
 Their battle ostensibly concerns capital cops, but Hebert claims it is a test case to see whether congress will make up its own mind, or turn the business of laWmaking over to the members of President Roose- velts cabinet.
 What mean,' said Hebert (pro- nounced a-bear and don't you forget iD, lis that when a congressman writes a bill 1t goes to committee. The committee sends 1t to depart ment head, like this Ickes, and he says whether he likes 1t. If he likes 1t, okay. If not, I say who the hell is making the laws? Congress or Ickes?
 That's where this cop thing comes in"
 Hebert claims the capital is so full of so many assorted brands of policemen that every time there is q murder six varieties of Washington blue coats step on each others bro ganS.
 The metropolitan police force guards the city. The parks police patrol the parks. The capitol police staff the capitol. The White House police keep the eagle eye on the White House. The secret service hunts counterfeiters. The FBI goes after kidnapers.
 There probably are some other kinds of cops here, too, but Hebert hasn't got around to counting 'em. What he did was to introduce a bill combining the city police with the parks police, who come under Ickes' jurisdiction. The bill went to com- mittee and then it went to Ickes, who said, mo-
 This Ickes is not going to tell me anything" Hebert said. 'Ickes wants everything he can grab. He probably wants to put the district of Columbia under his National Parks Service. He calls himself the old Curmudgeon. I call him the old Chameleon. He is the only man 1 know of who enjoys being an old sour puss."
 Hebert had some more to say about Ickes, but you get the general idea. He said the COP Consolida- ton was of no great importance but that the principle was. Or to put 1t his way:
 If some department is going to tell Congress what laws to pass and what not, what's the use of having a Congress?"
 Hebert has been in Congress now for five years and anybody Whc neglects to call him a-bear gets nc civil answer from him.
 But lately haven't had much trouble" he reported. T spelled out the pronunciation in the con-
