]. R. LILLARD---USO DIRECTOR
LEAVES FOR FOREIGN ASSIGNMENT

Negro citizens of Bremerton
suffer their greatest loss of the
year with the departure of Mr..
Lillard, director of USO Indus
trial Services No. 2, member of
Pacific Northw st Regional
NAACP Board of Directors and
the only Negro USO Industrial
Director on the West Coast.
The citizens of Bremerton are
unanimous In expressing their re-
gret at the decision of American
Red Cross to take such a fine
and courageous young man from
the Pacific Northwest where
such individuals are definitely at
premium.
A year and three months ago
Mr.. Lillard arrived in Bremerton
and for five weeks his office was
a portable typewriter. His first
act on entering the community
was to attempt to find out what
he community wanted and in so
far as possible meet this need.
He always felt that his office
was of no value unless he pro-
vided for the war workers and
In so doing proved a real asset
to the community. Though often
forced to take definite stands on
various social problems he pre-
ferred to eliminate such by pro-
noting activities that would Gre
ate good will in the community.
In his appearance before various
service clubs and civic groups
throughout the city he advocated
and urged fair and impartial
treatment of all the community

The old saying that the Negro

fore ire license committee of the
City Council when a representa-
tive of the Better Business 3D.
reau of Seattle appeared before
the council and protested the IL
censing of the Negro War Me-
mortal Association to solicit for a
Negro War Memorial in the city
of Seattle.
The only tangible thing sub
mitted by the representative was
a copy of the Northwest Herald
containing articles by the Editor
and Mr.. Joe Staten opposing the
building of the memorial. The
protest was SO ridiculous that
the several City Fathers and one
City Mother could hardly keep
their faces straight. The License
Committee without a dissenting
vote approved the project. The
gentleman from the Better Bust
ness Bureau was quite confused
and Inundated when he and tire

Editor of the Northwest Herald
Is an ex-convict whose picture

hard to believe that the writer
of the Good Neighbor column, the
man who so viciously attacked
Negro ministers of our city SOME
time ago, and who criticized
Mayor William F. Devin for ap-
pointing two of the best quail
fled and highly respected Negroes
of Seattle to serve on the Civic
Unity Committee, could possible
have such a background. But,

A JOLT TO PUBLIC
CONFIDENCE

1t is unfortunate that OPA
saw fit to cancel without no.
tice the ration points that house
wives had been SO religiously
conserving. 1t was, in effect, the
breaking of a contract. Millions
of women had been saving their
points to use only If needed, as
they understood the points were
good indefinitely. The person
who saved was therefore penal
lied.
On top of this, business sus-
pension" orders were asked by
OPA stores alleged to have sold
goods in violation of the new reg
ulation, when the only informa-
ton the stores had on the sweep
ing changes was from news stor-
les.

store said: Enforcement off
Gals of the local OPA had pre-
viously advised these operators
that they were not being run by
the newspapers and that only
their own releases were official
and that no changes were to be
made until official notice had
been given by the OPA."
Such tactics seem to be an in
evitable part of bureaucracy
which the people must endure a.
part and parcel of wartime con
trolls. The Congressional inves
tigation that is suggested may il
some measure restore public con
fidence. Facts rather than Sc
crecy are the most potent weap
