NAACP Praises
Senate Action
On FEPC Bill

WASHINGTON, d. G. = (SNS)-
The. NAACP hailed the action of
the Senate Education and Labor
Committee in favorably reporting
S. 1O1, the Chavez-Aiken Permanent
FEPC bill. The vote came on the
heels of an effort by Senator
Claude Pepper 3D., Fla.) to work
out a COMPROMISE which would sat-
isfy southern members TO the
Committee who threaten a filibus-
ter. It is reported that the proposed
compromise involved the Substitu-
ton of S. 459, the Taft FEPC Study
Commission Bill, for that of the
Chavez Bill which actually has
teeth" in it.
TAFT BILL SNARE
Working to beat off any COM
promise which would weaken the
bill, Leslie Perry of the Washington
Bureau, NAACP, told Senator Pep
per that employment discrimina-
ton has been adequately studied"
ard the enactment into law of the
Taft Bill would "only be snare and
a delusion SO far as minority groups
are concerned"
Other members of the commit
tee known to have been friendly to
the bill were further urged to give
"uncompromising support" to the
Chavez-Aiken bill.
Committee members voted on the
FEPC bill as follows: Fer: Geo,
D. Aiken (R., VT, joseph H. Ball,
R., Mimi, Dennis Chavez 3D.,

WIRE SENATOR'S
The NAACP has warned its 800
branches and cooperating organiZa-
tions that an attempt will un-
doubtedly be made on the floor of
the Senate for substitution of the
Taft bill or some other weakening
amendment and that it is urgent
therefore, to wire Senators now to
support FEPC in its present form
and to fight off every hostile at
tempt at compromise Or amend
ment.

Recent changes in the Presl-

of primary interest TO Negroes
is the appointment of Clark as AT
torney General. Much of the same
feeling is prevalent as was true
when President Roosevelt flrst
named Sen. Hugo l.. Black to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
A diligent search is being made 10
try and determine whether CLARK
could possibly turn OFT as favor
ably as did Associate Justice Black
CONNALLY'S MAN
Eight years ago, Clark was sun
a lawyer in Texas, where his MIS-
sissiapi- born father had settled TO
practice law. Young Tom Clark was
sent to Virginia Military Institute
and later worked his way through
the University of Texas.
Back in 1924, he served as civil
assistant to District Attorney WI
liam McGraw in Dallas. He prac-
ticed law for several years, made
money at it, and in 1887, through
political patronage from Senator
Tom Connally Cd. of Texas, he
was appointed a $500o-a-year law
yer in the Department Of Justice.
He has worked in the War Risk
division, the Wage-Hour unit, the
Antitrust division. In 1899, he was
made a special assistant to the At
torney General. In May, 1943, he
was made head of the Antitrust
Division. In August, 1943, he was
switched to head of the Criminal
Division.
BACKED CIVIL SUITS
The newly appointed Attorney
General points out that civil hber-
ties cases doubled under his admin
istration of the Criminal Division.
Such cases include many involving
the rights of Negroes. Other per-
sons indicate, however, that a
number of cases involving the rights
Of Negroes have been ignored un-
der his administration, too.
The most outstanding has been
prosecution of the election officials
who denied many Georgia Negroes
the right to vote in the Democratic
primaries following the decision OF
the Supreme Court in the Texas
Primary case.
Because of his background and a
general suspicion prevalent among
Negroes about Southerners in posi-
tons of authority where legal rights
are involved, Tom Clark will be
closely watched.

All CoIored Coast Guard
Cre,u Mans Patrol Craft
Powerful Boat
Operating In

By ALPHEUS o. BRUTcN
Woman &c, USCCR Coast Guard
Correspondent

ATT AN ADVANCED COAST
GUARD BASE IN ALASKA -
SpeciaD - Heavy seas and high
wind means little to the all-colored
crew of a Coast Guard patrol boat
operating on the storm-tossed seas
Of Alaska.
The men are a hand-picked
bunch and proud Of the rugged
duty assigned to their boat and OF
being members of the first all-col-
ored crew to man a patrol boat IN
the Alaskan sector.
Like others of it's type in the Alas
kan sector, their powerful and
speedy patrol boat is used both as
a work-horse and an emergency
boat.
FIGHT ELEMENTS
Weather may be too rough for
commercial boats to be out in

driven by 7O-mile, singing gale OF
sleet and ice, but if patrol boat
is needed, they 60 out to pit their

against the worst the elements
can offer.
The following is typical of rou-

fort hits a reef and sinks before
it can make the beach.
Empty oil drums are dashed
aboard the 50-footer together with
other needed gear and the boat gets
under way at full speed to save the
fishing boat and valuable gear.
At the scene, all that can be OBJ
served is the mast of the fishing
boat and two cold and hungry
fishermen waving from the rocky
beach.
The fishermen are first brought
aboard, fed and given dry clothing
MEN SATISFIED
Then the Coast Guarasmen go tc
work. The tide and oil drums are
used together to make a hydraulic
Jack that soon has the fishing boat
floating and ready to be towed into
port where boat and gear can be
cleaned and repaired.
The Guardsmen are tired anC
weary from the grind, but they are
satisfied, for they can read graft
tude in the fishermen's eyes anc
know that they have done gooo
job and brought the war just g
little closer to V-Day.
Anti-submarine and security pa
troll are other jobs that are as

The skipper of the boat is Boat

Jackson, 20, of 303 Ely street. Farm
vile, Va. He enlisted in the Coast
Guard in November, 1912, and serv-
ed afoat prior to his transfer to the
Alaskan sector four months ago.
The spirit of competition is ev-
ident, for each man attempts to
keep his department in just lit
tie better shape than any other
department and the result can be
seen in cleaning brass and spot
less decks and working gear.

FEAR POSTWAR
LYN(HING WAVE
BY Ernest E. Johnson

WASHINGTON, Feb. l (ANP)-|
Because a recurrence Of wide
spread lynching is anticipated in
many quarters consequent with the
ending Of the war legislation was
introduced in the house to cope with
such situation by Representatives
Adam Powell (D) New York, and
D. Lane Powers (R) of New Jersey.
The bills which will be pressed are
those drafted with the aid and ap-
proval of NAACP.
Rep. Powers was out of town over
the weekend, but his office said he
had planned to offer statement in
connection with his bill. Congress
man Powell, however, stated that
"the time is more. than ripe for en-
acting into legislation the type of
guarantee of life and liberty which
American Negro soldiers returning
from overseas are going to need
when they come back to their homes
in parts of the south.
In it's own behalf the NAACP also
was planning to draft formal
statement. The probability is that
this comment, along with that of
Rep. Powers, may be issued in the
next few weeks, according to Leslie
Perry, legislative representative of
the association.
The bills introduced would make
the political subdivisions in which
lynchings occur subject to the pay
ment of a fine Of $1,000 and subject
lynchers or derelict civilian auth
critics liable to Jail for five years.
The damages, according to the bills,
may be collected by the victims or
his claimants or by the federal gov
ernment.
1t is understood that Rep. En-
manuel Collier of New York, and
Ludlow of Indiana, Democrats, and

Classen of Massachusetts, Repub-
lican, all favoring the bill, will be
part of the steering committee
which will aid in getting it dis
charged from the judiciary commit
tee when the time comes.
No bill has yet been presented to
the senate, but the effort will be
made to this end, Perry said.
1--WE are gong to push vigorously
on the basis that there should be a
severe penalty against such occur
ences," Perry commented. "We are
thinking of the postwar period
when those Negro boys will be COM
ing home to Mississippi and meet
ing those who will be waiting to
squeeze them back into the old way"
The failure of getting action of
anti lynching legislation during the
past congress was partly due to the
resignation in December 1943, of
Rep. Joseph Gavagan CD Of New
York who was appointed to bench
position. Up to then some 80 sigma
lures had been secured to a dis
charge position, but no work was
done on the bill after that"

was the famed Westminster Choir
of Princeton, N. j., consisting of a
few Negroes, trained by DR.. John

Of the title roles of "Porgy and
Bess" has done so much to endear
the late George Gershwin to the
heart of the public.
The opening number Of the pro-
gram was the "Anacroon" overture
of Cherubini, who after the fall of
Napoleon, was for 20 odd years the
director Of the Paris Conservatory.
Like so many overtures this one is
all that remains Of an ill-fated op-
era by the master. It reminds one in
the more syncopated passages of
Beethoven, while in the forte pas
sage Mozart's influence is felt. But
never has it seemed more beauteous
than as it was interpreted under the
baton of Mr.. Rodizinski. Mr.. Brazil
owsky, a Leschetizky pupil and
concertizer of several continents,
gave an interesting reading of the
Beethoven &C" minor concerto. In
it there are technical clarity and a
synthetic as we'll as a graduated
tone.
There was a colossal cadonza at
the end of the first movement and
whoever did it certainly conceived
a consumate job! The last move
ment was only slightly marred by
slowing down the already fast AL
legro when reaching the more diff
ficult passages.
After an appropriately placed in
