now a part Of the committees
thinking in in it's endeavor to get
across it's thinking to the general
public. The press is but one chan
mel. The magazine field is yet to be
developed. The possibilities that ra-
dio may offer for expression is
something that must be explored.
There is one division in the
FEPC about which little is known
and yet the product Of it's effort
has been utilized widely through
out government. This is the division
|of review and analysis where as
sorted surveys are made and ana
lyzed, and reports made upon them.
Much of the divisions work has
been treated in hush-hush fashion,
particularly its observations on ra-
cial tensions in industrial areas.
The Importance of this division
may be seen when it is noted that
it's chief is the FEPC representa-.
tive on the production readjustment
committee of the War Production
board, group now hard at the task
of meeting the transition to peace
time production.

FEpC PLANS MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT ITSELF

(Ihas IS the last IN series of four
articles dealing With the Fair En-
ployment Practice Committee and
prepared by the ANP-Washimg-
tom BureGu.)
By ERNEST E.. JOHNSON
WASHINGTON, June a (ANP)
"A program of keeping the public
Informed of it's work, apart from
the routine announcements which
heretofore come forth, is contem-
plated by the Fair Employment
Practice Committee under the bud
getary allowance which it may be
granted for the next fiscal year.
To do the job some $34,593, or
$10,817 over the current year, has
been requested from congress. The
sum will permit the employment of
at least one other professional per-
son, and will facilitate the dissem-
ination of news and information to
all media of public expression, and
to answer the queries from govern
ment and non-government sources
related to questions of discrimina-

panied by other changes in the
committee.
President Truman has already
indicated his anxiety to regroup
government gencies and to
streamline them to create higher
efficiency of operation. The prob
ability looms that unless FEPC is
included in any group of exempt
agencies, the committee may wind
up in an enlarged department of la
Dor, as is likely to be the case with
many of the other war agencies
dealing with labor matters.

ton and Negro labor.

ClOH ana negro laDOr.
Basically, it is the view of the
FEPC that "the restrictive effects
of such prejudice (as it deals with) |
may be reduced by a properly
planned international program"
1t believes that timely and effec-
tive adjustment of manpower
shortages in critical production
areas and industries will be accel-
Grated and accomplished with re-
duced cost to the nation if restric-
tive prejudices based upon misin-
formation are corrected"
In it's arguments to the budget
bureau the committees spokesman
maintained that the group proposed
to perform this supplementary
function along with it's operating
and policy-making functions, only in
war production areas where groups
constitute significant part of the
labor market and are not untilized.
Up to now the work of the divis-
ion has been heavily weighted on the
side of releases dealing with COM
plants Investigations, hearings and
settlements. From time to time, it
has put out speeches Of top officials
of the agency in which policy state
ments have been enunciated and
others clarified.
Also, the division has been the
source for answering asserted ques-
tions from government agencies to
students in colleges. It has been able
to channel wealth of data on Ne
gro employment trends to libraries
and to organizations in the public S
eye. With the progress of the war
has been step-up of interest in Ne
groes, especially in the field of en-
ployment. Hence the many inquir-
les. y
Government itself has found a
considerable lack in it's information
about Negro markets. The FEPC
has been able to provide them with
the necessary information.
Greater initiative, however, is
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-06-04

1t is going to be one of the jobs
of the information service of FEPC
to get before more of the public
knowledge of what is being done
in this division.
The development of information
programs in the various areas and
regions are geared to meet imme-
diate needs will be developed. The
emphasis always will be on educa-
tion for the general public.

Manor Park Citizens
Ask New Abe Blood

The Manor Park Citizens Asso-
citation, in a move designed to OBJ
tain new blood on the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board, last night
that Mrs. Agnes K.
Mason's tenure as member of the
board be terminated next month.
In making the motion, George A.
Corbin, association secretary, point
ed to Mrs. Mason's long service on
the board and asked that the Com
missioners consider the appointment
of a new person to the board.
Mr. Corbin also called attention to
conditions at the Coolidge Play
ground. Fifth and Sheridan streets
NV, which, he said, had been
found far from satisfactory by res
Ildents of the Manor Park neighbor-
hood. He stated that the play
ground was in need of new equip
ment, as well as repairs to the pres
ent equipment.
On his motion, the associat ton
asked that an outlined plan for i'm
provements to the Coolidge Play
ground in the near future and after
the war be submitted by Milo F..
Christiansen, recreation superin-
tendent.
A recommendation by James T.
Scott, ST., president of the associa-
ton, that at least one more" fire
station operated by all-colored per-
sonnel be established in the District

| time only No. Engine Company is

MY LIFE WITH A JEEP
Continued from page five

"Solly," he'd heard the Vet
say, you know why l like to play
cards with your"
mo. Vet, why do you like to
play cards with me?" 'Solly" had
inquired.
Because, said the Vet, you
don't get on me for cheating"
The farmer shifted his bottle of
beer, gazed out the window at the
rising waters that had "rivered"
him out of his lowland home, and
sighed. WELL" he said, "the old
guy is happy. anyhow"
''This country" Christopher
Morley's cousin said, sis vastly
rich in folklorei''
Talmadge put down his empty
bottle and adjusted his hat on the
back of his haircut. Considering
the pleasure that old codger gets
out of living, I don't think he's
so crazy"
Then we went outside, and there
was the Veteran, sitting on the
jeep's radiator drinking his beer.
Gentlemen, l amt got much use
for a vehicle" the Veteran said,

sure like to tour around in one of

AFTER the people and the pigs
are all rescued there isn't much
news in food that is subsiding.
So we called up Lieutenant Bart
lett one Saturday night and said,
Were running out of water,
money. cigarettes, clean clothes
and gas coupons. Can we please
come home now?"
YES" he said. and we were very
happy. We had only 360-odd miles
more of riding in T-5683. On the
way back to st. Louis we ran into
a stiff quartering wind and had to
drive sideways. But it didn't mat
ter because a jeep runs better side
ways anyhow.
When we parked T-5683 out
side the District Coast Guard
Office in St. Louis, some kindly
passer-by helped us dismount and
carried us into the building. Lieu
tenant Bartlett smiled at us and
said. quote: did you have fun?"
AS soon as we get out of the hos
pital, where six harried doctors
are trying to straighten out our
backs and remove the ringing in
our ears, we are going to start a
club for people who are allergic to
ieeps. Like US. The End

devoted his full attention to his
beverage. Thus did we become
aware of this character. shall call
him the Veteran.
The Veteran walked over to the
Speed Graphic, which had the
fash bulb gear attached, and lean
ing on his bony elbows, gazed
thoughtfully into the reflector.
Hello, over there" he remarked
casually. Then, his lips barely
moving, he answered himself in a
wee, Charlie Mccarthy voice,
quote: Hello yourself" Then the
dialogue went something like this:
What are you doing, boy?"
"Oh, | amt doing nothing much.
What're you doing?"
Nothing, boy. What're you. ?"

"Don't Misjudge''

AT THIS point, Talmadge leaped,
grabbed and sat back down with
the Speed Graphic clutched against
his chest. looking as defensive as a
disturbed mother rabbit.
Don't misjudge me, gentle
men," the Veteran said, striking
a dignihed pose and bugging his
eyes at the gathering. "As you
saw, I am one who has the gift of
ventriloquism. Step up to the
cooler, gents. and shall be happy
to buy myself a drink"
What goes on here?" Talmadge
asked, amazed.
The other local lounger chuckled.
Don't mind him." he said. Hes
an old Spanish-American War vet.
Gets seventy-five dollars a month
pension and drinks up eighty-five
dollars a month. His gears don't
mesh, his cogs are ailing, and
he's throwed his fan belt"
The Veteran, in the meantime,
had purchased three bottles of
beer which he clutched by their
necks in one hand in very prac-
ticed manner, and was going out
the back door. grinning owlishly.

AFTER some small inquiry, it de-
veloped that the old boy, man of
more than IS hard summers and
harder winters, lived in a shack on
the river, occasionally ran some
trotlines and snapped fish for beer,
and talked to himself as a matter
of course.
While we were digesting this
character along with our beer, a
freckled lad joined the gathering.
He said that he had once watched
the Veteran while he was engaged
in playing a game of solitaire.
