Sen. Chavez FEPC Bill Seeks Action
REPUBLICANS BACK MOVE
TO GET Senate ACTION
ON FEp( BILL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 (ANP)
Republicans rallied around Sen.
Chavez, a New Mexico Democrat,
when he served notice that he will
seek action on his Senate FEPC bill
in January.
Chavez drew immediate sup
port from Republicans, and what
amounted to a promise of a fill
buster from Senator Bilbo (Dem.,
Miss.)
Bilbo replied the Republicans are
trying to turn the government into
"the hands of bunch of mongrels''
and criticized the recent order by
President Truman for an end of
discrimination against Negroes in
federal bureaus.
Although Negroes comprise only
9 per cent of U. S. population, Bilbo
said they hold 19 per cent of the
federal jobs in Washington and
thus charged that whites were be-
ing Disseminated against. Bilbo re-
Trained from pointing out that %
per cent of Washington's popula-
ton is Negro.
When Chavez announced he
planned to move consideration of
his bill Immediately after Congress
reconvenes Jan. IA, Bilbo thanked
him ''for the information" adding:
'The Lord willing, I'll be here"
Ball declared that ''the failure
of Congress" to make even slight
beginning toward correcting race
discrimination" is driving millions
of Negroes into the Communist
Party, which promises them COM
plete racial equality.
He said 100000 U. S. Negroes
now are treated as second class
citizens"

ELLINGTON WANTS TO BREAK
WITH VICTOR RECORDS

NEW YORK, Dec. 27 (ANP).-
A formal request that he be released
from his contract with Victor rec
ords was made by Duke Ellington
who charged dissatisfaction with
the way he has been handled by that
firm as we'll as with the tunes as
signed him to record.
However, it is not thought likely
that Victor will release the noted
orchestra leader. His contract is
understood to extend until next
November and the company states
he is obligated, under contractural
terms, to remain on the label until
March, 1947. His contract calls for
"a sides annually and he has al
ready waxed 80 this year.
The Duke is also irked over re-
ports that Victor was about to let
him go, although the company de-
nies any knowledge of this rumor.

ARMY WAR CORRESPONDENT
COMMENDED IN EUROPE

WITH THE 761st TANK BAT
TALON IN GERMANY, Dec. 27
(ANP).-The last official act of
1t. Col. Paul L. Bates, white, of
Boonton, N. j., before he left the
command of the veteran 761st Tank
battalion for home and discharge,
was to write a letter of commenda-
tion to Trezzvant w. Anderson,
Charlotte, N. c., veteran news
paperman and member of the 761st.
In his letter, Col. Bates lauded
the work done by Anderson to bring
the proper recognition to the 761st
for it's achievements during battles
in six European countries. Ander-
son visited the famed tank battal-
ion more frequently than any other
correspondent in Europe in 1914,
and then later transferred into the
761st in order to be in position to
assure that "at least this one out
standing Negro combat unit will be
properly covered for the press"
In addition to his newspaper COW
erage of the 761st, Anderson went
to Paris in July for a conference
with Maj. Gen. E. S. Hughes, per-
sonal aide to Gen. Eisenhower,
which resulted in the initiation of a
recommendation for the Presiden-
tial citation for the 761st, and this
recommendation is now on Gen.
Eisenhower desk for final action.
Anderson is also the author of
"Come Out Fighting, the epic tale
of the 761st, a full-size book which
is now on the press at Salzburg,
Austria. To complete this job, An
derson voluntarily waived his op-
portunities to return to the U. S.
for discharge until the book is off
the press.
He was chief correspondent for
the AMP in Washington, 1931-1934,
and served from August, 1914, un-
til December, 1914, as the only Ne
gro army correspondent at the pub
lie relations office of headquarters,
European Theater of Operations.

grins who travel toward the Mec-
ca of good looks; then spring few
er won't get you. OF course, he
gives the Languid Iazzies a perfect
alibi for slowing UP on unpleasant
duties, but we observe that they
continue such gay activities as hap
pen to be on the social calendar.
The old girls among us will re-
late fearful stories about being fed
sulphur and molaSses when they
were kids. That was an old YAM
kee custom We know now that
there is no more need of blood
purifiers when the flowers start to
bloom than there is when they
fade in the autumn.
BLOOD PURIFIERS
A physician says THE lungs
are Natures blood purifier" He
adds that when spring fever brings
that dopey feeling the victim must
chase herself out of doors. fill heI
lungs to the fullest capacity with
one hundred deep breaths. With
each intake of air she should lift
up on her toes, raise her arms
We wouldn't suggest that the seek
er for renewed vitality do this stunt
on a public highway. It is rather
like the antics of a Growing roost-
er One can stand at an open
window; afford the family a little
amusement.
At all seasons of the year one
should realize the Importance OF
getting rid of body wastes. Keep
stimulated all the avenues of elm
nation. Fresh air washes out the
lungs. Water acts favorably upon
the kidneys Fruits, green salads
vegetables tend to keep the intestin
al tract active. The daily bath, re-
moving dead skin scales that block
the pores assists the human hide
in its work of throwing off impuri-
ties.
All human beings should have
some kind of outdoor exercise as
long as they can rush around UNI
der their own steam. Lassitude de-
parts and the brain is refreshed If
an outdoor sport Is INDUCED.

Getting back to the subject
spring tonics, let us remind the
members of the beauty class that
the impurities of the blood are
acted upon by the liver, thrown
off by the skin, exuded In gaseous
form by the lungs.
Bending exercises stimulate the
functions of the liver Tapping up
oxygen forces out Stagnant air that
may be making a tenement of the
lungs.
Resting won't cure spring fever
Grumbling won't chase it away. A
balanced diet eight hours of sleep

wish to add that this is the time
