new YORK FEp( BUSIEST;
7S0 COMPLAINTS IN IA

NEW YORK, Feb. 3 (ANP)-|
More cases were received and ad-
justed by the New York regional
FEPC than by other operated by
that agency, according to statis-
tics.
Edward Lawson, New York di-
rector, said that during the past
year his office, located in the En-
pire State building, New York, and
covering all of New York state
and New England, had received 780
complaints alleging discriminatory
employment practices on the part
of war plants, government agen-
cies, and labor unions.
During the same period of time
the office disposed of $50 cases, of
which 276 were satisfactorily ad-
justed by negotiation after inves-
tigation had shown that discrim-
ination had occurred. A large pro-
portion of the remainder were dis
missed when discrimination was
not found to have occurred.
For the nation as a whole, Mr..
Lawson said, FEPC received 1922
cases last year, and closed $3.50,
of which 1928 were adjusted sat-
isfactorily. Next to the New York
office the one covering the state
of California was busiest, receiving
TO cases and closing 634, of which
241 were satisfactorily adjusted.
In addition to Mr.. Lawson, the
New York office is stated by four
examiners, Robert Jones, Madison
Jones, Jr., Edward V. Morand and
Daniel Donovan; and three clerical
workers, Misses Miriam Irish and
Tillie Ashepa and Mrs. Sonia
Schwartz.

BLAME MISSOURI UNI. ANTI
NEGRO BAR ON HIGER UPS

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Feb. 2 (ANP)
Blame for the racial bar against
Negroes at the University of Mis-
souri, was placed upon the anti-Ne-
gro attitude of higher ups after
the conclusion of series of meet
ings here on the admittance of Ne
gro students revealed that several
students polls have favored ad-
hitting Negroes to the university.
By the mere process Of elimina-
tion the higher ups were charged
with barring the admittance of
Negroes to the state-supported
school in defiance of both the will
of the students and the United
States Supreme Court. An editor
ial in the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch,
a daily newspaper, criticized the
handling of the problem and point
ed out the Status of student opin-
ion on the subject"
"The United Supreme Court
ruled in December 1888, in the
Lloyd Gaines case, that the univer-
sity was required to admit Negroes
or provide equal facilities for them.
This resulted in the creation of
makeshift law and journalism
schools, which do not attain the
regular university's standards, and
in which few Negroes have en-
rolled. 1t has been pointed out at
recent Columbia forums that this
is a waste of State funds and a
farcical way of evading the states
ruling.
"There are State legal require
ments, to be sure and time is re-
quired to amend them. But recent
polls should persuade the state au-
thorities for the change. Negroes
have always been admitted to the
neighboring universities of Kan
sas, Iowa and Illinois. A poll last
week showed 1862 University of
Missouri students out Of GA, or SO
percent, favored admittance of
Negroes. Other polls have shown
larger majorities. In a scientifi-

Russians as
Ally Raises
New Issues

Washington, Aug, 9-INS-Rus-
sia's entrance into the japanese
war was hailed today by members
OF Congress as shortening the con-
flict but major questions were
raised.
Chief among the questions were:
Will Russia get the secret Of the
atomic bomb?
Have territorial commitments
been made to the Soviet?
Widespread opposition among
members OF Congress to giving Rus.
STA or any ether nhtfqn the secret
of the atomic bomb was disclosed,
despite the prediction OF some that
II eventually will become known
to the world.
A leading Democratic member Of
Congress, declining to be quoted,
said that the House and Senate
ought to know whether President
Truman warned Marshal Stain at
Potsdam that he cannot acquire
territory through entrance into the
war.
Accused by Koreans
Reports OF Russia's entrance into
the war have been accompanied by
a charge made by Koreans during
the SaIT Francisco conference that
Russia was promised Korea If she
entered. There also have been
reports that Russia wanted Man
churia and other territory with as
surance Of warm water ports in the
Pacific.
Russia's entrance also may raise
the question OF whether she will
insist upon being an equal partner
In trusteeship OF Pacific islands cap
tured by American forces.
Senators and representatives had
long taken for granted the fact that
Russia would declared war on ia
pan. Some members, upon their
return from Europe six weeks ago.
predicted that Russia would enter
this month.
One Railroad
Russia's delay since We Day,
II was reported. was due to the
fact that 1t was necessary to trans
port huge quantities Of supplies
over a single track railroad. Rus
STA also has been shipping huge
quantities OF food from Portland,
Ore. past Japan to Siberia.
While Russia's entrance was re-
garded by some officials and mem
bers OF Congress as an anti-climax
because they believed the atom
bomb doomed Japan--it apparently
removed the possibility that Ameri-
can forces might have to conquer
a big Japanese army in Manchuria.
