Negro JAW Officer
Planned By Tapes

Shelton Tapes. former record
ing secretary of Ford Local 800,
disclosed Monday that he would
introduce a resolution at the next
UAW-CIO convention to change
the election machinery of the ma
tional body in new move to open
the door for the election OF Ne
gro to the executive board of the
UAW-CIO.
Mr.. Tapes charged that pow
er politics played In the JAW
will not permit Negro regard
less Of his qualifications to be
elected to the JAW National
Board at this time"
He explained power politics Of
Of the JAW as "a continuous strug-
gle between several powerful in
dividuals and groups to capture
control Of the unions affairs
AN IMPORTANT reason why
Negroes have not been elected to
national Offices, Mr.. Tapes stated,
lies in the nature of the election
machinery which calls for elections
on a regional basis. No one region
contains enough progressive forces
to provide enough votes to elect a
Negro"
According to Mr.. Tapes, 'the
al ~ n1a
notes factionalism by giving the
elected head of region power
which makes il possible for him to
defy the national body and ignore
fundamental policies Of the or
ganlZation."
MR.. Tapes declared that he
would advocate at the next ns'
tional convention a change in thi.
system To- the end that executive
board members may be elected a
large by the convention in the
same manner that the president
secretary-treasurer, and vice pres
! identS are elected now.
This change would, according to
Mr.. Tapes, discourage narrow
factionalism and give every dele
gate an opportunity to participate
I in the selection of the national Of
ficers OF the UAW-CIO. Further,
Mr.. Tapes indicated, it would
open the door for Negro represen-
tation on the policy-making body
Of the union.

ROOSEVELT ONE OF
FEW GREAT MEN

The death of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt caused miore sorrow and in
some nations more CONSERVATION than
perhaps any other human being who ever
lived. His passing shook the world. How
great a mar he was will not be realized
until perhaps for so or 100 years hence.
However, Roosevelt is one MAI whose
worth was recognized in his own time, not
only by his WI people but throughout
the world. He was not only the leader Of
the United States, he influenced and di-
rected the political, social and economic
policy of the world to an extent unpara-
lelled in history. At home Mr.. Roosevelt
carved a new era for the people through
his advanced social ideas. Notwithstand-
ing the TRADE of abuse and SANDER heaped
upon him by the wealthy interests he ere
ated government agencies such as the c.
G. G., which gave new wealth to the ma
ton and assisted in the preservation of
national resources to the extent of hun
dreds of millions Of dollars. He passed
the bank act, which secured the savings

Josephus Daniels, Secretary Of the
Navy in the first World War, later our

to write vigorous editorials for his news
paper, the "News and Observer" of
Raleigh, N. G.
Only last week he ripped the cover off
the falIacious claim that the way to assure
postwar prosperity is to reduce the taxes
OF the very rich. Here are a few excerpts:

more jobs depend OF tax policies and
that such policies would bring a strong
stimulus to the formation of specific plans
