Trade Body 10 Stress
Recognition Of Service
Discharge Emblem

Publicizing the discharge button
now being worn by more than a mil
lion men and women returned to
civilian life is the latest project Of
the Washington Board OF Trade.
Complaints by many discharged
service men and women that the
insignia means nothing at all" to
the people they meet, military as
well as civilian, were cited today by
Edgar Morris, chairman of the
boards Greater National Capital
Committee, who suggested tho cam
paign.
The emblem-a small gold button
displaying an eagle within circle,
with the wings extending beyond
the circles edge--is worn on the coat
or blouse. he pointed out.
In many instances, Mr.. Morris
said, it is mistaken for sports or
social organization insignia and
there is growing feeling among
discharged veterans that there's
little use to wear it.
"Once a veteran has taken of his
uniform q tiny gold button is his or
her only insignia of honorable dis
charge after performing duty to
the country in war;" he pointed out.
1T is especially important that
every one in Washington, the first
stop-off Of so many veterans-both
wounded and unharmed - should
recognize it. It's an emblem of
service to all of us-a sign of a job
we'll DONE"
The Advertising Club Of Wash

project by getting public utilities,
transportation facilities, banks and
stores to display pictures and post
ers of the button.

Watch
For Fungi

THERE are blotched leaves
- on the beans. The edges OF
the potato plants turn brown
and curl up. What's the matter
u1vith them?. The blotches and
le curling are both due To min
Ute plants commonly known as
fungi. Instead of producing
seeds, fungi produce spores,
tiny particles that are borne
from one plant to another
mostly by wind, but also by
many other agencies, including
the hand of the gardener.
II the blotched or curled
leaves are found only here and
there, the very best control is
picking them off and destroying
these infected parts, either by
burning or by deep burial in the
ground. Do not be deceived into
thinking that a patch of fungus
here or there in the garden will
not spread. Pick the leaf and
save the plant.

IS TEXAS COUNTY TEACHERS
GET NO SALARY INCREASE

ST. LOUIS, Mar. 81 (ANP)-
Efforts which are thought to be a
determination to evade the provis-
ion for increases in salaries of rural
teachers in Negro schools were un-
earthed in an investigation into the
failure Of Is teachers to get in
creases in seven Rusk county rural
public schools and communities ad-
jacent to Henderson, Tex, county
seat of Rusk county. The facts
brought out in the investigation fol-
low:
1. Those Is teachers have not re-
ceived the increases provided for
rural teachers as passed by the Tex
as legislature in January 1915, and
the specific bill for which was
signed, Feb. 9.
2. The seven schools involved and
their respective number of teach
ers are: Antioch school, four teach
ers; Pinehurst school, two teachers !;
Oakland school, two teachers; Roc
quemere school, a one-teacher
school; Pryor school, three teach
ers; Greenville schools, two teach
ers; and Oak Hill, another one
teacher school.
3. The salaries of the Is teachers
would be increased S400 each, the
total amount due the Is teachers be-
ing $4,000.
By a strange coincidence, the
seven schools in which teachers
have not received the increases due

them are under the supervision Of
C. O. Pollard, city superintendent
of Henderson Public schools. These
schools are supervised by Pollard
because white rural schools in the
same communities were placed und-
er him by vote of white patrons, by
agreement and custom, if not by
law, Negro rural schools "automat-
ically" are placed under his super
vision.
Meantime, teachers in Negro ru-
raj schools under County Supt. Har-
vey Hayes are receiving their in
creases.
The investigation disclosed few
people of influence in the Hender-
son area admit Negro teachers are
being "robbed" but they fear to
stick their necks out so far in the
behalf of Negroes. Some claim that
if they did so, they would be brand
ed as Negro lovers" and they don't
want to take any such chances.
Many Negroes live in the sections
involved. A considerable number
own much val,aDle land. Some of
the large oil fields of East Texas are

Mississippi Supeme Court
Grants Ex-SoIdier New Trial

JACKSON, Miss, Mar. 21 (ANP)
Justice reigned in the Mississippi
supreme court when charges were
reversed against a discharged Ne
gro soldier, Willie Carter, who was
sentenced to death for the murder
of the Union town marshal, G.. S.
Worthen. The supreme court stout
ly criticized a Newton county cir
cult court for having inflicted the
sentence on the ex-soldier and or
dered a new hearing of the case.
Shooting of the marshal occurred
in June, 1914, when the white man
is said to have attempted to arrest
Carter on a charge of robbery.
A high tribunal ruled later that
Carter was an epileptic and that he
was seriously wounded in a gun
battle with the marshal. Accord
ing to the judges Carter was in
capable Of making a defense, and
the Newton circuit court had asked
no question of the mans mental
state when he was tried.
Carter, it was learned, had at one
time been confined to the insane hos
pital but had escaped.

He predicted that rehabilitation of
industry and the armed forces will
likely result in wide unemployment.
''The threat of large scale jobless-
ness hangs like dark cloud over all
postwar planning" he declared,
and surely if we fail to provide suf-
ficient jobs to go around, the Negro

that "the special emphasis of this
conference will be to have white and
Negro industrial, professional, re-
ligious, educational, and labor lead
ers get together for serious think
ing and planning in the most amic-
able and practical ways of assisting
Negroes into fuller employment,

unions will face the compulsion of
including Negroes fully in their

Smokes Few Between
 Nazi Camp Prisoners

Here is the ninth installment of the prisoner -of-war diary of United Press War Correspondent Edward w. Beatie, IT,, who has been liberated.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-16

The first blow was struck in July, 1940, from East Africa at the Suez's rear. From Ethiopia, Italian armies drove south into Kenya and north into the Anglo o-Egyptian Su- dan. posing a grave threat to the canals western coast. This was followed in August by Italian oc- cupation of British Somaliland on the Gulf of Alden, virtually plug ging the ditch from the south.
 Italians Cocksure
 Up on the north African coast, month later, another LItalian force under Marshal Rudolfo Graziani launched the first of the Axis des- ert campaigns-designed to seize and block the Suez from the west.
 No longer hampered by French threat on their flank, about 250,- 900 confident Italians paraded eastward from Libya across the lightly-defended Egyptian border. They carried with them marble monuments to celebrate antici- pated victories.
 The British, outnumbered re- treated and in matter of weeks the Italian march reached Sidi Barrani, 100 miles inside Egypt. There, Graziani paused, apparently to regroup his forces for a drive through to Alexandria and the ca- nal.
 The British, reinforced in Decem- Der, beat him to the punch.
 130,000 Italians Captured
 Australians, New Zealanders and Indians under Gen. Sir Archibald Wavel probed the Italian lines. found them shaky and pressed their advantage hard. Sidi Bar rani fell before Christmas, and the Imperials swept back across the bor- der.
 The port of Tobruk, the caravan terminals of Derna and Benghazi far along the coast were stormed and taken in brisk fighting. Up- ward of 130000 Italians were cap- tured. By Feb. 18, 1941, the Brit ish advance had reached Fl Agheila, 500 miles west of it's starting point.
 All Libya might have fallen that spring but for two factors: CD Wavel's army was depleted seri- ously to send troops to threatened Greece; @ the Axis army was sNffened by German arnored forces under the Na1 panzer and desert expert, Gen. Erwin Rom mel.
 Rommel took prompt advantage of the skeletonized British force. In a savage charge, his Mark W tanks, armored cars and motorized infantry swept the Imperials from their Fl Agheila positions late in March. They were back at Ben- ghazi by April 4. Derna fell three days later and three British gen. erals were captured by a Nazi scouting party.
 Retreat to Egypt
 Racing on, Rommels divisions now known as the Afrika Korps- chased Wavell's troops the rest of the way back to Egypt faster than they had come. Only at the bat 5ereo port or Iopruk aid pocket Of British resistance manage to hold out.
 Not until he had crossed the Egyptian border early in May did Rommel finally call halt, his supply lines stretched overlong. There, near the port of Sollun, the front was frozen for the sum- mer while the Afrika Korps await ed fresh men and materiel.
 In East Africa, meanwhile, the tide of war had been reversed. Conveying on Ethiopia from both Kenya and the Sudan, strength ened British columns removed the threat to the Suez from that direc- tion, more than wiping out the Italians previous gains.
