OAR invited Miss Marian Ander-
son to sing in Constitution hall for
the benefit of war relief in 1943
that their unfortunate and illogical
stand of barring Negro artists had
ended. Il is distressing to discover
in the latest action by the executive
committee debarring Miss Hazel
Scott, an outstanding artist, from
the use of Constitution hall that this
same reactionary stand is being
maintained.
"It is regretted that the OAR
should forget that the spirit of un-
ity Tolerance and understanding
is needed more today than ever be-
fore in the history of our country.
The japanese and Axis propaganda
addressed to the smaller nations

was not sincere. The OAR by it's
official action now picks up where

LOSING JOBS TWICE AS
FAST As WHITES

NEW YORK, Oct. II (ANP)-
Negro workers in the New York
City area have lost jobs more than
twice as fast as other workers since
VI day, according to Edward Law
son, director of the FEPC's New
York regional office.
Mr.. Lawson said that statistics
prepared for the FEPC by the War
Manpower commission indicated
that between Aug. Is and Sept. Is,
44.7% of Negro workers in 25 ma
jor New York City plants were laid
off, as compared with a general
layoff of 21% of all workers en-
ployed. In the state as whole, he
added, 1879 of all workers were
laid off during this period, but
1870 of the Negro employees of the
same firms lost their jobs.
Other discouraging signs that
former war industries are begin
ming to return to policies of racial
discrimination were listed by Mr..
Lawson:
. Since We Day, opportunities for
workers to take jobs in peace-time
employment have increased vastly.
However, the increase in July re-
placements of the USES over June
was smaller for Negroes than for
white persons, and the differential
was even greater in August.

Speaking on behalf of the Ma

Mary Mcleod Bethune issued a
statement here soundly condemn
ing the Daughters of the American
revolution for continuing their ban
against Negro use of Constitution
hall which was used to bar Hazel
Scott from appearing there.
Said Mrs. Bethune:
eve regret most previously that
the doors of Constitution hall are
still barred to artistic talent be-
cause of race. There can be no en-
during peace until such deep seated
prejudice is conquered. The United
States cannot hope to inspire the

U. 5. Invade Corregidor Says Tokyo

Washington, Feb. 17-(UP)- American troops invaded the fort ress island of Corregidor at the en- trance to Manila bay by air and sea today, radio Tokyo reported.
 Pierce battles now are raging on the southern shores of the island," a Tokyo domestic broadcast said.
 Paratroops opened the assault, swarming down on the island from transport planes, and soon after ward sea-borne forces stormed ashore from assault-landing marges, Tokyo said.
 The reported combined operation followed by only few hours, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's announce ment of the reconquest of Bataan in an amphibious landing Thursday on the tip of the peninsula, five miles north of Corregidor.
 No further details of the Correg- ldor fighting were given in the broadcast, which was recorded by the EGG. However, it opened the final phase of an offensive to un- lock Manila bay to American ship ping and to avenge the bloody de- feats of 1941 and 1942.
 Corregidor's giant batteries, which held of Japanese assaults on the island for months in 1942, had been all but neutralized by terrific air and sea bombardment earlier this week.
 They fired a few rounds at the convoy carrying troops to Bataan Thursday, but were silenced quickly by salvoes from American cruisers and destroyers, dispatches from Manila said. Tokyo said American minesweepers began clearing the channel between Bataan and Cor regldor Tuesday, followed by 10 troop damned transports.
 After Corregidor has been cap tured, American shipping safely can enter the bay. Once inside the bay, American warships could lend their support to the annihilation of the last pockets of enemy troops holding out along the Manila water front. Newly-captured Cavite naval base south of Manila also could be restored to use.
 It was on May 6, 1922, that Amer ican forces on Corregidor surren- dered to the Japanese, ending or ganized American resistance in the Philippines. Bataan had fallen a month earlier

1O-Inch Fall
 Is. Predicted

Boston, Feb. 17-(UP)-Move- ments of two storms. carrying 8 po- tential total of IT inches of snow, were traced by weather forecasters today in Snowbound New England.
 One was centered in Tennessee this morning. The weather bureau said that If this struck New Eng land in the form of snow, 1t would mean a 10-inch fall. However, in- dications were that 1t would go out to sea considerably south of New England, the weather bureau said.
 The second storm was centered this morning in western Texas. If this one hits New England, 1t will arrive Monday or Tuesday, prob ably Tuesday, the weather bureau said. It was estimated that If this came in the form of snow there would be a seven-inch fall.
 Boton already has had an official fall of 67 inches of snow this year. Though this does not approach the record of 103 inches in 1922-2S, 1t is nearly double the normal figure.

Actors Get Smokes
By JACK ROWLES

New York, Feb. 17.-(UP)-Any- body can beat the cigaret shortage.
 All they need is a pair of black glasses. cane and a streak of amateur theatrics, or "ham."
 That combination produced four packages of cigarets today in seven stores that had the mo cigarets" sign on the counter.
 Here are the directions:
 Buy or borrow pair of black classes and cane Practice Q slight limp and make 1t good be- cause sharp-eyed observer knows the real from the fake.
 Enter tobacco store where you aren't known. You needn't tap the cane like truly blind person. but walk Cor hmp) slowly and don't dart glalces around the store.
 Don't ask if the clerk has any cigarets. Stop at the counter, reach into your pocket and fish up Q handful of dimes and nickels.
 Bring the palm of your hand close to your dark glasses and carefully feel" out three dimes and one nickel-total 35 cents. Pop ular brand cigarets sell for IT cents, and you must convince the clerk that you think two of the dimes are pennies
 Lay these four coins on the coun- ter and say, as if you'd never heard of cigaret shortage:
 Give me package of cigarets, please"
 The rest Is up to the clerk.
 Three clerks today gave up a pack of popular brand cigarets for 35 cents each, neglecting to point out the "error" of IS cents over payment. The fourth produced a pack of sold out" smokes and said:
 You gave me too much, Bud. Give me two pennies and take those dimes back"
 Clerks in the other three stores visited said they actually didn't have clgarets. One. of them promised to save pack from his next ship ment.
 Good hunting.
