any members OF the Senate APP
preparations Committee II you
haven't already done SO asking
for the appropriation for the
temporary FEPC. (Sen. Homer
Ferguson Is . member Of that

buiIdinEJ AND wire-ssrite your
representative to sign the Dis
charge Petition No. I in the
House TO get the bill for . per-

morrow may be too late.
Generals. generals and privates.
After we get our mind all made
up about the performance of the
92nd in Italy, along comes 1t.
Gen. Lucian Truscott who says il
weren't so good. Generals Clark,
Almond and Truscott are all rep
resenting the War Department ul-
timately. but with conflicting
views. Seems to US now. that the
department ought 10 come out Of
fcially and say who's right about
the much-maligned 92nd
Elections make strange bed
fellows. The Free-Press the 9TH
er night blasted Dorais, Rogell
and Comstock on account OF
their airport stand. Doesn't mat
ter why they get defeated, just
get them out. The council has
been too common too long.
Bill Chandler items from Holly
wood that Noble Sissles wife,
Ethel. is all burned up at Column
lists Ted Yates and Al Monroe
who said she was seeking a di-
vorce. She's been long distancing
her band leader ever since getting
il straight. Al reprinted what
Yates wrote.
Meat Is short. sure. And most
ly cause Of the black market,
and the independent packers
The Independents operate only
In intra-state commerce and SO
their meat does not have TO be
inspected by the federal meat
inspectors. Meat which Is in
spected Is stamped and regis
tered and. therefore, Is not free
TO roam around the black mar
ket. The army was supposed to,
and may yet. crack down on the
Independents, who like the prof
liable system. The federal gov
eminent can't do anything TO the
packers directly cause they stay
out of inter state commerce.
The OPA can only fight the
black market.
Biddle or Clark, where are the
cases against the southern states
that the attorney-general's office
promised after the Supreme Court
Texas primary decision. Some Of
us still aren't voting down there,
brother!
The Labor News Of the AT
OF l. has been particularly
vitrolic against the Go and r..
J. Thomas lately. Now we don't
think. for instance. that the re-
conversion building controversy
shouldn't be ironed out, but II
should he done quietly. Labor
baiters fasten upon the remarks
OF laborites about each other
with peculiar glee.
While we're cogitating on re-
conversion. what's happened in
Congress on it? In a word, moth
ing. Early in the war the experts
agreed that only early we'll
planned reconversion would work.
Have we forgotten that?
We just got around to seeing
the movie bout the WACs,
Keep Your Powder Dry" That
picture was Official enough TO
have an official adviser and was
purely WAC. But not one Ne
gro was in the film-not even q
maid. let alone a WAC. Plenty
Lana Turner but no Lena Horne.
Ho. hum.
Haven't heard much about eth
er the Inter-racial Committee or
new housing plans lately. What's
cooking?
