the greatest Snowman of them

Fred Bradna thinks they have.
For Fred can remember way
back TO the bad old days when
a parade was as much a part
OF the circus as a calliope or a

Thirheth Anniversary.
DefroifeEs join us in ex.
pressing gratitude for the quolihes that
have produced their film leadership:
for foresight in erecting new stars; for
courage in dromotizing issues OF sociol
significance; for initiative in develop
ing new techniques in production.
Only this combination of foresight.
courage and initiative could make pos
sible such outstanding pictures as
"A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" Grapes
of Wrath, "Louro," Song Of Berno-
dette, purple Heort, ""Guodolconol
Diary" pothtinders which pointed the =
way to the use of the motion picture as
an art and educational medium.
We salute Daryl r. Zonuck for his
vision in making Wilson" No motion
picture hos done more to win inHuen-
tol respect for the screen than this
great historical document.
Our confidence that the results of the
yeors to come will equol the history
making achievements OF the post is re-
affirmed by the pictures we will soon
have the privilege OF showing: "a Royol
Scondol, 'Thunderheod," Diamond
Horseshoe" "Stote Fair"
We congratulate the men and wo.
men Of Twentieth Century Fox for their
intelligent selection of best-selling
novels for screen production. From
greet stories they have made greater
pictures. and we are anticipating with
pleasure the film versions Of Forever

labor gains for the Negro will con-
tinue in volume in the postwar
world.
No, l can't see too much reason
for jubilancy on the part of the
American Negro on VI Day. We
had the opportunity, but, in most
cases, we missed the boat. We
went out strongly for Happiness
in our time" and now We are in
line to reap the bitter fruits of
"play in the summer and starve
in the winter"
The millions of dollars Negroes
earned during this war, if they
could be accounted for, would show
a disproportionately large chunk
of money going down the sewer
from needless pleasures, principal
ly whiskey, drinking, taXi-cab joy
riding, cabareting and unaccus-
toned Injuries. Our national or
CARNATIONS, including the NAACP
and the Urban League, were not on
the ball in launching countrywide,
all-out campaigns to get people to
save instead of squandering war
time earned money.
The churches were also derelict
in such duties. We seemed more
concerned with the fate of the
poor, starving Poles" and the "im-
poverished" Dutch than we did
with the thousands of our own
people, who may well be the first
in the breadlines when they form.
VI Day will have to come again
for any rejoicing we may want to
exhibit over real, concrete and
worthwhile gains.

often confronted the worker for the
first time. The new employee ,
thought through these problems of
union affiliation and decided how
they would affect his adjustment to
his fellow workers, his supervisors
and his future. In many cases the
wartime workers experience as a
labor union member will help pre-
pare him for competition in the
postwar years.
Chance for Racial Interpretation
One of the most profound lessons
learned by the wartime factory
workers was the Importance of
making friends with their fellow
employees. A willingness to Give
and let live" was observed in many
areas where persons of different
races and creeds worked together in
the more democratically managed
factories. Continued association
over long periods of time afforded
an opportunity for persons of diff
ferent races and cultures to know
each other more intimately. Dis
cussion of their common problems
often led to consideration of their
individual situations and a result
ing opportunity to make interpreted
lions which otherwise could not
have been accomplished. In many
cases, understanding of the back
ground of racial and religious diff
ferences wiped out the intolerance
and fear underlying various indi-
vidual prejudices. The great con-
tribution made by the wartime fac
tory worker toward improving re-
lations among the diverse peoples
who make up the national popula-
ton can not be overestimated.
1t was, in fact, surprising, how
we'll the new wage earners meas
ured up generally to the require
ments of the wartime job situation.
The rich experiences of the war
time factory workers, Negroes in
particular, in both production and
human relations should fit most of
them for the democracy which
ought to permeate postwar in
dustry.
1t is in the postwar years ahead
that the greatest challenge lies.
Workers should be approaching this
transition with confidence and de-
termination that their wartime ex-
periences form a bulwark for their
economic future.
Next week a discussion of the
white collar worker will be the sub
ject of the concluding article.

Editor: The Twin Cities Ord
nance Plant will soon be a memory
to the community. The only evil
dence of a great war achievement
will be the remaining structures.
1t has been my good fortune to
have built and operated this plant
with the assistance of capable ex-
ecutives and cooperative workers.
We are now Gquidating this
great plant. No longer does the
sound of machinery and human
voices make up the great cres-
cendo. The war is over and the
need for the plant as an instrument
of war is ended. There were from
the day of its erection, thousands
of persons engaged in the work.
The quality of their product was
high, reaching at times 100 per
cent ga" grade ammunition, pro-
duced at low costs with an excel
lent utilization of manpower.
We, who worked at TCOP, would
be ungrateful if there was not an
expression of appreciation to those
on the outside who gave US their
blessings and help. I refer to the
sub-contractors who worked dill
gently and honestly to provide the
tools which were necessary. To
the press we extend our apprecia-
ton. They have been fair and hon.
est in the news releases. I think
that no plant in the United States
was treated with more fairness.
There were no scandals to report
and your genuine endeavor to fur
nish to the people factual news is
one of the many bright and pleas
ant things in this great enterprise.
Gentlemen, to build from moth
ing to a plant employing almost
$4,000 persons is an honor which
may never come again to an indus
trialist in this area and to you,
who have helped to publish the
news fairly, l extend my personal
thanks and 1 know 1 speak for
those who have so ably assisted US.
Yours very truly,

Leadership Busy for Selves
Truth is, the American Negro
has less to really be happy about
than any of Americas minority
groups. Victory over Germany,
Italy and Japan really means a re-
turn, and a swift one, to his pre-
war status because when the white
man had his back to the wall, the
Negro homefront leadership was
so busy getting good jobs for it
self, and footing the horn loudly
while doing nothing that the con-
structive steps that should have
been taken died with the thought.
To prove these statements, all
one has to do is look at the whole
sale frings that are going on in
every phase of American business
and industry and note who is get
ting the gate first. 1t is the same
old pattern, "last to be hired, first
to be fired" The violent aspects
of the postwar period are already
looming on the horizon again as
they did in 1919.
Implied threats come from GER
tain cities in the South as they did
at the end of World War l. Re-
strictions based on race are as
strong today as they ever were and
promise to be reinforced by even
stronger barriers against Negroes
when the old American social sys-
TEN is reestablished by the national
Democratic administration which,
after all, is southern-dominated,
southern-controlled, and thorough
ly in accord with the basic princi-
Piles of "southernism." And if you

means, ask somebody of your color
who lives South of the Mason and
Dixon Line.
Sees Labor Gains Dubious
And it is difficult to see how
much actual gain the Negro made
in organized labor. With the war
going full-blast, Negroes were
taken into unions in droves, and
they were given nearly all types
of jobs. But that was during a
national emergency. With the
faucet which formerly poured jobs
on work-starved nation, turned
down to a mere trickle, and with
the picture growing clearer each
day as to how returning service
men, unemployed war plant work
ers, domestics and those who
earned their living before the war
in private enterprise, are going to
engage in a national tussle over
every available chance to work, one
should mark time before marching
on with the theory that wartime
