SAYS NEGRO TO PLAY MAJOR
ROLE IN REBUILDING AMERICA

DURHAM, N. c., Oct. IT,
(ANP)-The Negro is better pre-
ared to lay a greater role in rebuild
ing America after World War II
than he was after the conclusion of
World War I.
That was the comparison made
here by c. c. Spaulding, president
of the North Carolina Mutual Life
Insurance company, of the differ
ence between the Negro of today
and the Negro of 1918 in predicting
major role for Negroes in rebuild
ing postwar America.
There is more to do in rehabili-
tating this country now than we
had at the close of the first worlds

going to play an important part, be-
cause he is better prepared along
all lines"
Il doubt that Georgia can ever
have a governor like Talmadge
again." Spaulding remarked, then
added: Il am not worried about Sen.

shine of intelligence will soon de-

LONDON, May 1.-THE efforts of
the British Empire were pledged
by Prime Minister Churchill to the
twin tasks of perfecting the peace
organization of the United Nations
and to joining with the United
States in inflicting total defeat
upon Japan.
The wartime leader, in world
wide broadcast address last night
made it plain that with those tasks
ahead he does not intend to re-
linquish voluntarily the reins of
government.
He assailed the Irish Government
of Premier canon De Valera for
remaining neutral while Britain
was under attack by Germany, as
sorting "if it had not been for the
loyalty and friendship of Northern
Ireland, we should have been forced
to come to close quarters with Mr..
De Valera or perish forever from
the earth"
Churchill disclosed that the Nazis
had been planning to use multiple
long-range artillery against London,
in addition to rockets and flying
bombs.
"Only just in time did the Allied
Armies blast the viper IN his nest

GUAM, May 14-Japanese threw
in fresh reserves today and laid
down thunderous artillery barrages
in an effort to halt a powerful
American offensive which had
reached the outskirts of Naha, shell
blasted and heavily mined capital
of Okinawa.
Marines advanced into the out
skirts of Nahas business district,
and foot-soldiers under command
of Maj. Gen. James l.. Bradley
staged a fierce assault on a hill
position near the center of the
Okinawa line, from which the
enemy was directing artillery fire.
Desperate Defense
Enemy defense was growing more
desperate every hour, and in addi-
ton to anti-tank guns and mines
savage one-man sorties by Japa-
nese carrying satchel-charges OF
explosives were increasing.
japanese artillery fire roars con-
stantly during daylight, and SIM
mers down to harassing fire at
night as the enemy defends a city
reduced largely to rubble.
City Mere Skeleton
The mined and BOBBY trapped
city of $4,000 population was a mere
skeleton, reported Associated Press
Correspondent Vern Haugland who
entered the northern section OF
Naha yesterday.
Marines of Maj Gen. Lemuel c.
Shepherd, Jr.'s Sixth Division, NOV
ing south of Naha itself, fought
fiercely to the northern bank OF
Asato, which runs through the city.
Here the fanatical japanese were
throwing artillery mortars and
considerable small-arms fire into
the tank-led American column in
an effort to keep it from crossing
the last water barrier before Naha.
Slug Way In
Brig Gen. William T. Clement
of Richmond, Va, assistant COM
mander of the Sixth Marine Divi-

way into burned and ruined Naha.
He told Haugland he felt the
Leathernecks would cross the Asato
today and swarm through the
center of the capital.
