whether they want them or not.
Mr.. MARCANTONIO. I did not
yield to the gentleman. I have the
floor.
Let me say to the gentleman
from Mississippi, when he starts
waving the flag here, that he should
bear in mind that on the far-aung
battle fronts of this war Americans
- black Americans and white
Americans-are shedding their
blood, shedding their blood to main
tain and preserve the principles of
democracy and equality, the same
principles of democracy and equal
ity that Thomas jefferson laid
down in the Declaration of indie
pendence. Let the gentleman from
Mississippi remember that equality
is a fundamental American con-
cept, and anyone who seeks to over
throw that concept is subversive
and un-American.

quantities Of fats and oils re-

Gently been greatly increased.
It will be necessary in 1945 to
salvage at least 100 million
pounds more used fat than
were recovered in 1914. To &C
complish this, ask every indi-
vidual for the fullest coopera-
ton in this important task.
Every ounce of used fat that
can be salVaged is urgently
needed.
American women, and the
meat dealers who have Loyalty
provided collection points for
used fats during the past 2h

tribution," Mr.. Jones stated.

who he's waiting for?"
Tack took out his handkerchief
and began to dance like ballerina.
Didn't you hear him say he re-
fuses to divulge? Oh, mother,
mother, mother, pin a rose on me"
Couldn't we hang around while
and see who he's waiting for?"
Tack fluttered his handkerchief
again, and said, "You mean whom
he's waiting for. Watch your lexi-
con. Anyway, for once we've got
the same idea. Two great minds

Both Tack's parents and mine
had taught us to mind our own
business, but we could not resist the
other half of Harry's rendezvous.
And so we crept back along the
fence through the high grass.
Through the clear night we could
hear Della Cunnigan more than two
miles away calling her sons home.
Her voice sounded with bell-like
clarity on the calm night.
"Some voice" 1 said. Alexander
Graham Bell wasn't thinking of
her"
Huh" Tack said, "she's just a
whisper compared to Harry's
mother. He heard her all the way
from Heaven"
From our beds in the grass we
could see Harry cupping his hands
to his mouth, and then we heard
him call: "Oh, Rose! Here's Harry!
Come now, Rose. Harry's here"
Tack said, a little disappointed,
"It's a woman he's waiting for.
Well, I'll be damned! Come on, let's
go home"

the woman crazy enough to want

We crawled along the fence,
closer-until we could distinguish
the words.
We could hear Harry saying,
"Rose, my darling, when 1 look into
your lovely brown eyes, can hard
ly believe it's true, this love of ours.
Forgive me for all the pain I've
caused. Since mother died you've
been my greatest comfort. You

"Look, Tack" cried "Look at

We stood staring as if we had
never before seen a Jersey cow. We
could not mask our amazement and
disgust. Our chins must have
reached our shoe laces, we were so
disappointed.
Harry began to laugh-his voice
like the high notes of a calliope-

War Department
Warns Against
Fascist Methods

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-An
official War Department warning
has been issued to the armed forces
overseas against foreign and do
mestic fascism. The NNPA has
learned that the warning was
edited by a Southerner, Maj. Gould
Beech, former editor of the Mont
gomery (Ala.) Advertiser.
Describing what fascism means,
the War Department warning says
fascists maintain themselves in
power by use of force combined
with propaganda based on primitive
ideas of blood and race, by skillful
manipulation of fear and hate, and
by false promise of security"
"Some Americans" says the re-
port, would give an emphatic mo-
to the question Can fascism come
to America after it has been de-
feated abroad?' They would say
that Americans are too smart, that
they are sold on the democratic
way of life, that they wouldn't per-
nit any group to put fascism over
in America Most people in
America like to be good neighbors.
But at various places in our his
tory, we have had sorry instances
of mob sadism, lynchings, vigilant-
ism, terror, and suppression of civil
liberties. We have had our hooded
gangs, Black Legions, Silver Shirts,
and racial and religious bigots. All
of them in the name of American
ism, have used undemocratic
methods and doctrines which ex-
perience has shown can be properly
identified as Fascists."
Among ways to spot Fascists, the
warning lists: (1) FITTING of re-
ligious, racial, and economic groups
against one another in order to
break down national unity. To suit
their particular needs and aim,
Fascists will use any one or COM
bination of such groups as a con-
venient scapegoat. (2) Intoler-
ance for such religious and ethical
concepts as the brotherhood OF
man." (3) Indiscriminate pinning
of the label "Red" or Communist
on people and proposals which one
opposes.
The only way to prevent fascism
from getting a hold in America
says the War Department warn.
ing, is by making our democracy
work and by actively cooperating
to preserve world peace and Sc
curity.
Fascism is always ready, it says
to provide a scapegoat as a wa!

group upon which the insecure AM

OH, ROSE!
A Short Short Story
By James T. Logan

ny JnmcS L. LOS0h
Tack and I were always going
possum hunting. We never got any.
In fact, neither of US would have
known a possum from an alligator.
Nevertheless, these expeditions pro-
vided good excuses for us to roam
Conklin's woods at night, armed
with "22" Winchesters. Occasional
ly, quite by accident, we shot a
grounding or jackrabbit, and once
and only once a skunk. It was on
one of these moonlit forays we
came upon Harry Madden, perched
serenely on the top rail of a split
log fence, intent upon minding his
business, which was more than
could be said for either Tack or me.
He was funny little brown man
with face as round as an autumn
moon. He was not exactly a five-by
flyer, but he had far too much width
for his height. We were always
making jokes about the proximity
of the sidewalks to his posterior.
Vocally he was a soprano-and
while there was no positive evidence
to doubt his sex there were grave
suspicious which caused the more
positively masculine inhabitants of
Oldtown to keep at safe distance.
Neither Tack nor l would have
risked talking to him in town. This
he knew, and therefore was not un-
duly appreciative of our friendli-
ness in the woods.
"What're you doing, way out
here, alone, sitting on a fence?"
Tack asked.
He said he was minding his bust
ness, but if it would kill US not to
know, he was waiting for a friend.
'Lady or gentleman" inquired
Tack. Even 1, his friend, thought
he had a lot of gall.
"That," he said, with a flutter,
II refuse to divulge."
an bet you're hiding from some
body" I tainted, trying to cover up
for Tack. 'FYou look scared"
He put his hands on his hips,
shrugged, and said, Gear is a
word, long ago deleted from my
lexicon"
l thought Tack would burst with
laughter.
Harry clenched his hands, dis
playing fists, which he said neither
Joe Cans nor Battling Nelson had
wanted any part of-and when he
had grown heavier the same had
been true of johnson, Jeffries and
Langford when he had challenged
them to forty rounds, bare-knuckle.
"What makes you think you're so
good with your dukes? You couldn't
kill a flea with a chopping axe"
"Do you know Big Boy Lewis ?"
We did. He was Oldtown's "John
Henry" better than six-foot, all
muscle, and hard as spikes.
"Well," Harry went on, 81 almost
killed him-with these same hands"
"Oh, yeah?"
"You will note" he continued
chat said I almost killed him."

Tack.
"Big Boy had been impertinent tc
me on several occasions, and I was
weary of his arrogance. So I pulled
off my coat, and got ready to go t.
work on him. / circled him warily
realizing that such behemoth al
he was always dangerous. I feinteC
with my left, and was about II
deliver my right from the GROUND
when suddenly"
The pause was like the end of tn,
first episode Of thriller.
He sighed heavily, dropping unde,
the weight of a great Illustration
Suddenly I heard my dear oil,

Don't strike him, Harry And the

I could not keep from laughing
