LYNCHERS IN ALABAMA

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May %
(ANP)-The Rev. Arthur Carlton,
a young Methodist preacher, is
credited with foiling would-be
lynchers in Ramer, suburb of this
city, recently.
A drunken Negro had fatally in
jured white man and was under
arrest in Ramer. Sensing growing
excitement in the town, Rev. Carl
ton urged the deputy sheriff to
bring the prisoner here for safe
keeping.
After considerable needless de-
lay, the deputy started. Fearing
possible mob violence, the preacher
fell in behind him and followed out
of. town. Soon the party was over
taken by four men who tried to
pass. The preacher recognized
them, however, and suspecting
their purpose, deliberately kept the
center of the road so they could not
get by. They finally turned back

eyes of the committee.
In 1914 the ST. Louis Shipbuild-
ing company admitted that it had
earlier submitted discriminatory
specifications to the local United
States Employment service office
but contended, in public hearing,
that by issuing instructions to it's
personnel to abide by the executive
orders, full compliance was being
given. The committees decision
answered this argument to say that
"the company's obligations under
the executive order are not fulfilled
by the issuance of instructions to
it's personnel officers. It has a pos

KSON, Miss, May 22|
(ANP)-A speedy investigation
was being conducted here by city
and military officials following the
beating of one wounded soldier and
the intimidation of others by two
white policemen, Sunday.
The soldiers were inmates at the
Foster General Hospital.
Witnesses said the policemen
parked their car in the heart of the
Negro business section and began
stopping, questioning, abusing and
beating Negro men and women,
with absolutely no incident or oc-
curence necessitating such harsh
police action.
According to reports, while one
of the officers would stop and
abuse a person, the other stood by
with his hand on his pistol ready
to carry out a further demonstra-
ton Of unwarranted abuse of police
power. A number of women were
beaten and among the men, at least
two were beaten severely, although
efforts to obtain their identity
were unsuccessful.
Pvt. Richard Hill, wounded
veteran recently returned from ac-
ton with Gen. Patton's Third
army, who only a few days before
had been relieved of crutches, is
reported to have been brutally beat
en-, while several other soldiers on
.crutches were abused and intim-
idated when attempts were being
made to make them run" down the
streets. Hill was still walking with
a cane.

pounded out sharp triple that
scored two ahead of him. He later
scored himself. Robinson, previous
to the opening Of the season had
received a tryout with the Boston

WASHINGTON, May % (ANP)
When the Fair Employment
Practice Committee set about it's
work four years ago to define what
was meant by a complainant who
declared: They're just doing it to
me cause I'm colored," it became
inevitable that this embattled war
agency would in time develop a
body of precedents relating to the
ticklish question of what constitutes
job discrimination in war indus
tries and in federal, government
service.
Three weeks ago Rep. Erwin of
North Carolina, in a lengthy har-
angue against permanent FEPC
legislation on the house floor, listed
81 varities of such discrimination.
The committee has made no at
tempt to enumerate the kinds, but
the records shows that it has, on
occasion, referred to earlier deci-
sions as precedent in the settlement
of cases, indicating that it is at
least keeping an eye on it's own rec
ord.
Paragraph four of executive or
der 9346 empowers the committee
to formulate policies to achieve
the purposes" of the order. Com
mittee policy has been the out
growth of the application of both
executive orders, 1902 and 9346, in
the more than 1000 cases adjusted
since it's inception.
The practice of requiring appli-
cants to state their race or religion
on work applications, or the very
absence of scarcity of minority
group workers in plant, while not
in themselves constituting discrim-
ination, as early as October, 1941,
became signposts to be watched in
determining whether discrimina-
ton was actually being practiced
by employers.
The Lockheed-V Vega Aircraft cor
poration in Los Angeles today has
probably one Of the best records
for the employment of Negroes, but
this was not achieved until FEPC
had found the company had been
restricting Negroes to laboring or
custodial jobs in spite of the skills
they might have possessed.

newspaper, or job order placed

House Group 10 Quiz
State Department on
Pacific Naval Bases
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
The State Department is in for
some early questioning on Pacific
naval bases.
Expressing impatience over the
departments silence, Chairman Vim
son of the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee, said he plans to call depart
ment heads before the committee
probably next week.
Il want to find out what the
departments attitude is," Mr.. Vim
son told reporters.
The decision to quiz department
spokesmen came after Navy leaders
told the committee they had a good
idea Of what Pacific bases they want
to keep but could do nothing more
until the State Departments posi-
ton is known.
Horne Wants to Know.
Asked by committee members
during questioning yesterday what
the departments attitude was, Ad-
miral F. j. Horne, vice chief of
naval operations, said that he would
like 70 know himself.
Since some of the bases the Navy,
and the committee, too, would like
to retain are on islands heretofore
under domination of Allied nations,
negotiations for their use by the
United States must be handled by
the State Department. Most of the
Allleo-controlled bases were recap
tured from Japan by the United
States.
Committee members want the de-
partment to say it will make a fight
to get what the Navy wants.

Bosoro Spells 'Suqar's' Streak

Philadelphia, May 15-UP)-Out of the ranks of lightly rated fight CTS came Basora today to spoil the plans of Ray (SugaD Robinson, the Harlem battler, who until last night had been sureshot for title bout with welterWeight champion Fred die Cochrane.
 A to underdog in the betting Basora fought Robinson to a 10- round draw at convention hall last night and there were many among the 14,653 fans who thought he should have had the decision.
 Basora, a swarthy Puerta Rican used his five-pound weight advant- age to score heavily against the tir- ing Robinson in the late rounds Robinson, the "uncrowned king" of the welters, built up an early lead but as the rounds wore on was un- able to cope with Basora's hard body hooks. He became confused by the Latin slugger's bob and weave tactics and had few chances to land solid blows.
 The bout, finally staged after three postponements in two years, reached its turning point in the fifth when Basora hit Robinson with low blow. The bout sent to Robinson but from then on he ap- peared unable to stop Basora. Rob- inson, defeated only once in 56 bouts, encountered his first pro- fessional draw. The only other smudge on his record was 8 vic- tory by Jake Lamotta, Bronx mid dleweight, in a bout at Detroit ear ly in 1943.
 Referee Charley Daggert cast the vote which created the stalemate after Judges Harry Lasky and Frank Knarlesborough disagreed Lasky voted for Basora 5-4-1, Knaresborough favored Robinson GA, and Daggert scored 1t 4-4-2.
 A spirited 10th round rally by Robinson failed to pull the bout out of the fire. He caught Basora .dth sharp lefts and rights and gained the found which saved him a de- feat.
 Basora weighed l54 pounds, Rob- inson 149.
