IMPROVE RACE RELATIONS

Brothers, we are one. We must say
this and mean it all over the length
and breadth of America. We are
one, we are one, black or white, Jew
or Gentle, Catholic or Protestant,
we are one. All together we are the
living fiber of America. Together
we make America strong.
1t was only through our working
together as one in the war that we
have brought victory so close. 1t
will be by continuing to work to-
gether as one that we will achieve
complete victory.
1t will only be by sticking togeth-
er that we will secure the peace that
we have so dearly won. Already
there are rumors going the rounds
concerning racial strife after the
war. We must not let that be. We
must spike these rumors and track
to their lairs the saboteurs of the
peace who are spreading them.
1t will be dangerous to the peace
if we have any more holocausts Of
human lives like Detroit or Beau
mont. We should demand that our
officers of law and order guard
against any such outbreaks. Broth
erhood and good racial relations
must be taught in our schools,
preached in our churches, talked on
the job and any other places where
people gather.
More than this, our representa-
tives in the halls Of congress and
the state legislatures must be urged
to remove through the power of
their offices the economic or social
sores that cause the fostering of
racial strife and unrest in America.

SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST I

NEW YORK, July 26 (ANP).-
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell and
Miss Hazel Scott, sensational boogie
woogie pianist, will take marriage
vows here on Aug. l, according to
an announcement by Miss Scott's
mother, Mrs. Alma Long Scott.
The ceremony, she said, will be
performed by the Rev. Clayton
Powell, Sr., and will be followed by
a reception given by Barney Jo-
sephson at Cafe Society.
The bride-to-be was born in
Trinidad, British West Indies, on
June II, 1920, but came here with
her parents when she was four years
of age. Her father was the late
Thomas Scott. She acquired her ed
ucation in the public schools here
and studied music under the late
Paul Wagner at Julliard and now
with Richard McClanahan of Stein
way hall.
Miss Scott's career has consisted
of motion pictures, radio, record
ings and five years at Cafe Society.
She plans to launch her concert tour
this fall under the Management of
Lawrence Golden.
The groom to-be, the son of the
Rev. A. Clayton Powell and the late
Matte F. Powell, was born in New
Haven, Conn.,, on Nov. 20, 1908. He
succeeded his father as pastor of
the Abyssinian Baptist church here
and is a member of the house of rep
resentatives, 22nd District, New
York City and editor and publisher
of the Peoples Voice, a local week
ly newspaper.
The couple will leave Immediately
after the marrige ceremony for their
new country home and will return
here on Sept. Is to resume their re-
spective careers.

morning and afternoon session to
complete.
In the political area, Ethiopia is
interested in winning American sup
port for the claims it will make in
the world peace conference, ground
work for which is being layed now
in the "Big Three" conversations at
Potsdam.
These claims previously have
been reported to include:
l. Annexation of the Italian col
ony of Eritrea and possibly Italian
Somaliland.
2. Full control and outright own
ership Of the Franco Ethiopian rail-
way, the only rail link between Ad-
dis Ababa and Jibuti on the Red Sea.
8. Reacquisition of Ogaden prov
ince, now occupied by the British
Military administration.
1t was officially disclosed that
the foreign economic mission head
ed by Perry A. Fellows, which was
sent to Ethiopia in February, 1914,
has returned. The mission set out to
assist the East African empire in
the production Of food and other es-
sential commodities, with emphasis
upon the development of natural re-
sources.
A preliminary report of the work
of the mission has been made to Leo
T. Crowley, FEA chief, but a more
detailed report must await further
analysis of the missions findings.

ETHIOPIAN OFFICIALS
AT STATE DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON, July 26 (ANP)
The Ethiopian vice-minister of
foreign affairs, Makonnen Akilou,
and other members of the Ethiop-
ian diplomatic mission here, talked
with high officials of the state de-
partment on matters of mutual
concern" to the two governments.
These matters covered economic, po-
litical and social questions, it was
said, but no indication Of the spe-
cific nature of them was given.
The high dignitary has been in
this country attending the United
Nations Conference for Interna-
tional organization. Inasmuch as
there is no full minister of foreign
affairs, Mr.. Makonnen acted with
the full authority Of his govern
ment, it was said.
Although the sequence given for
the matters discussed placed politi-
cal questions second, the belief is
that they actually ranked first on
the agenda, which required both a
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-07-26

weighing the legality of such pro-
cedure; and second the advisability
Of proceeding accordingly, as mat
ter of policy, assuming that it is
legal.
Assuming it to be both legal and
sound of policy, there are at least
two alternatives which could be fol-
lowed, it is understood: 1. private
agency interested in the work of
fighting discrimination could hire
trained personnel and permit them
to volunteer their services to the
FEPC; 2. interested persons or pri-
vate agencies could raise funds, turn
them over to the U. S. treasury ear
marked for FEPC which would
draw upon them from time to time.
In connection with the first meth
cd section 7 Of Executive Order
9346 gives the committee the right
to utilize "such voluntary and un-
compensated services as may from
time to time be needed"
In connection with the second
method the Second War Powers act
authorizes the secretary of the
treasury to accept gifts to the Uni
ted States from private sources and
for use in the prosecution of the war
effort. To date close to $3,OOO,OOO
has been contributed to the govern
ment and has been used in the pur-
chase of weapons of war.
Insofar as dollar-a-year men are
concerned, only the War Production
board is authorized by law to use
them. The salaries of such persons
are paid for by the former employ
ers, usually corportions of various
kinds.
1t is reliably reported that the
one decision made by the commit
tee on this subject was that it would
not pursue the second alternative.
A reason which is understood to
have carried much weight with the
group is that this course would put
it in competition with the National
Council for a Permanent FEPC in
that money so raised would in all

WASHINGTON. Aug 16-(R)
Truman said today
he does not think the Japanese
people will ever have chance
TO obtain revenge for their de-
feat in this war.
In his first peacetime news
conference the President de-
clared that if Congress goes
along, the scientific discoveries
which made possible the atomic
bomb will be turned to the well
fare and benefit of mankind.
Commenting on the situation
In the Pacific since he announc-
ed the japanese acceptance of
Allied peace terms the President
said:
The surrender will not be COM
plete until two million Japanese
lay down their arms.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur will
announce the signing of the sur
render, which will take place
at a point Macarthur designates.
There is no apparent necessity
for dividing Japan into occupa-
ton zones although troops from
all the Allies will be under Mac
Arthur's command.
Congress will decide when to
end the wartime draft, Mr.. TIL
man said.
The President will make a
recommendation to Congress on
a peace time military training
program shortly after it meets
again.
There has been no decision
yet on combining the Army and
the Navy in peacetime, he said.
The Presidents declaration
that Japan will have no chance
10 obtain revenge for its de-
feat came in response to a re-
porter's question.
The reporter said most Japa-
nese radio announcements since
acceptance of the surrender
terms seem to indicate the Jap
anese are planning a military
come-ba in the future.

MANILA, Aug. Is - (P) -
Scattered fighting continued in
northern Luzon's mountains to-
day.
American commanders spur
red efforts meanwhile to inform
all isolated Japanese of Emperor

suade them to lay down their

The Luzon reaction is being
viewed by military leaders here
as an important test Of whether
the japanese commanders AMI

Imperial mandate.
Many prisoners expressed be-
lief that junior officers and en-
listed men would gladly yield
but high ranking officers might
refuse.
To get surrender news to the
Japanese, American forces were
utilizing leaflets, loudspeakers,
signs and volunteer prisoners of

In the 14th Corps sector of tie
Luzon mountains, airplanes
dropped $4,000 leaflets this
morning telling of the Emper-

Japanese troops to conform. BY

cation of any effect.

The principal Luzon fighting
