NEGROES intend TO
STAY IN NORTHWEST

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 (ANP)
Negroes who have moved into the
northwest section of the country,
attracted by the opportunity for
war jobs, have no intention of
leaving there when the boom ends,
and added housing will have to be
found for them. Frank S. Herna,
chief racial relations adviser for
the Federal Public Housing au-
thority, just returned from trip
to the west coast, said here.
The attitude of Negroes is quite
different from that among whites
who were quick to leave their jobs
when talk of reconversion was at
it's height six to eight weeks ago
he pointed out.
"When cutbacks come, how.
ever," he said, "it will hit Negroes
hard. But they are determined that
they are not going back SOUTH"

CIO-AFL RIVALRY
HURTS NEGROES
The broadening struggle between
CIO and AFL is certain to place
a dangerous strain upon interracial
labor relations. Contrary to views
held by ordinary citizens who get
their notions about labor from the
radio and the newspapers, only the
development Of better race rela-
tions and of a sympathetic under
standing of the Negro workers
problem, is frequently checked and
occasionally reversed by the rival
ry between the two labor giants.
Moreover, this rivalry poisons the
relations between various Negro
CIO and AFL labor leaders who on
many pressing issues facing the
Negro people, are the only men
free enough, "heavy enough and
secure enough to take position.
Negro labor leaders like Richard
Smith, John Yancey and Boyd Will
son groaned in pain when AFL
President William Green, flatly re-
jected an invitation from CIO
President Philip Murray to form a
united front to protect labor legis-
lation, expand social security, re-
peat anti-labor legislation, change
unfair wage policies and to work
for full employment after the war.
These and other Negro labor lead
ers know their loyalty to the CIO
or the AFL must not be questioned
by the ''big white" labor officials
with whom and through whom they
do business. Only recently have
they begun to realize that it is, as
Wesley Thompson of the UAW put
it, foolish for us to allow scraps
between Murray, Green, or John L.
Lewis to interfere with our work
ing together to improve conditions
within the Negro community"
Anticipating the effect upon
them Negro labor leaders have
watched with increasing depression
the flare-up in bitterness between
the CIO and the AFL over politics
in New York, Illinois and at various
state capitals-over CIO relations
with British, Soviet and Latin
American unions,-over the nam
ing of CIO delegates to the World
Labor Conference-ove War La
Dor Board Procedures-a successor
to Secretary Francis Perkins when
and if she resigns as secretary of
labor.
There have been other issues but
none have caused as much bitter
ness between the two organization

private club to discharge its en-
ployes for "willful" violation of the
Government order to close places
Of amusement at midnight
The group reported by police last
night included six restaurants and
"a newsstand which was operating
a pinball machine. Ofhcials said
that despite the violations, they were
quite satisfied" over compliance
with the order in Washington.
Meanwhile operators of the Lamp

cited four times for violating the

main open despite an area order
yesterday that they discharge all
but maintenance employees.
Joseph r. Burke, secretary of the
club, said he planned to appeal the
VINO order that he lay of his help
If the appeal is denied, he said, he
would discharge all but his watch
man, but nevertheless contest the
order in the courts.
Burke said the establishment was

social welfare and entertainment OF
musicians, entertainers and others
who have no chance for recreation
He now employs a three-man or
chestra, two mattresses and q

gested that such events be sched-
