IF YOU'RE renovating the
.-houSe fer autumn and
doing some painting here
and there. you'll be happy
to know there are paints for
the cement floor You may
have in the kitchen or
laundry, the porch, terrace,
or in the utility room, ga
rage or some other part of
the house.
Use the special concrete
paints to keep down dust
and to add color - gray,
brown, green or tile red.
In the same difficult cate
CORY as cement and con.
crete floors are the rusty
metal ratings and faded,
stained plaster. old wicker
pieces and others which call
for special paint treatment.
Ask your paint dealer for
the high-luster finish enam-
els which are intended for
such jobs. The water pipes
in the basement which drip
condensed moisture, rusty
radiators, registers, metal
easement zsash,-and other
such installations need an
enamel which penetrates
into rust and stops it at its
source.

Repairs

TO REPAIR Clipped porce-
lain enamel on a bath
tub or other plumbing fix
lures, or on the refrigera-
tor, apply the commercial
liquid porcelain. But first
make sure the surface of
the damaged porcelain is
clean and dry.
For a deep scratch or
cavity use several coats of
the liquid enamel. Let each
one dry before brushing on
another. The m ending
enamel comes in white but
colors ground in oil (any
paint dealer will show you
how can be added to tint
it to match bathroom color
schemes.

.O0 BUREAU CONSIDERS
NEGRO VETERANS PROBLEMS

WASHIN GTON, Sept. IL
(ANP)-The National CIO Com
mittee to Abolish Discrimination
is focusing attention upon the prob
lens of returning Negro veterans.
In report made to a meeting of
the full committee George L. P.
Weaver, director, pointed out that
'the society to which the Negro
veteran will return will'be changed
in many ways from the one he left"
He will be a better trained and dis
ciplined person, Weaver said.
The National CIO War Relief
committee, Weaver said, is in pro-
cess of preparing a manual for To-
cal union officials titled VETERANS
Problems" for which he has Of
fered a chapter which has been ac-
cepted. The relief committee, he
added will publish brief history
of the Negro soldiers performance
in all of Americas s wars. The story
is to be woven around GI's exper-
ience in this war.
The committee was told also that
some $1,000 posters have been cir
culated among locals affiliated with
CIO internationals. In these posters
the idea of racial corporations car
ried forward

Many Negro soldiers have spent
several years overseas and have had
the chance to live with the peoples
of the other world. He has formed
ideas. He has had time to think. The
ugly beast of racial prejudice has
almost been forgotten and for HIM
to be suddenly thrust back in a So
ciety which feeds this demon is
more than he has heart to take.
After all, what was he supposed
to be fighting for? Was it all a waste
of life and time? Despite the
strength of America, is she still un-
able to cope with that very thing in
America which she fought so brave
ly against in other lands? The Ne
gro soldier wants to know the an
swers.
This writer has talked with ser, :
icemen in many lands. AS a whole
they are thinking group. None is
content to forget racial prejudice
and many will not. The most pas
sive ones speak of migrating to
countries where their children may
live in an atmosphere over which
the ugly demon of racial hatred is
not forver lowering.

tween the convention committee
and the local branch of the NAACP
over the housing situation here
which left a bitter taste in the
mouths of both parties. But this is
another story. Members of the con-
vention committee claim that there
was no housing shortage in the true
sense of the word as far as the dele
gates were concerned because men,
bers of the various churches made
preparations in their homes and
made sacrifices for the convenience
of the delegates for the few days
they were here. AS far as food
shortage was concerned there
seemed to be none. In every church
were meetings were held, dinners
were served and meat and other
foods seemed to be plentiful. Be-
sides, all the restaurants in the
vicinity were able to take care Of all
comers.
One Of the chief things stressed
in all phases of the convention was
education, particular ly an educated
ministry. AS consequence the con-
vention set in motion a campaign to
raise 100000 for the American
Baptist Theological seminary with
in two years for the training of
young and middle aged ministers
and missionaries.

MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES
Offer HAVEN TO PREJUDICE
HATING SERvICEMEN

DALLAS, Sept. II (ANP)-I
have just returned from service in
the middle east and Africa. To my
surprise, after travelling through
India, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Trans
Jordan and several countries in
Africa, including Egypt, Libya and
French Morocco, in all these places
| have found the dark race predom-
inant.
The American Negro soldier who
has spent some time in the coun-
tries has learned what life was like
in prejudice-free lands He has been
free to enter any public place and
has not been ostracized from soci-
ETY. because he happened to be a
member of the dark race; but on
the contrary has found it an advan-
tage to possess dark skin in the mid
die east countries. since that is the
predominating color there.
The Tan Yank" has found the
welcome mat spread for him from
South America to India and
throughout the middle east back to
Africa The people of these places
leave their impressions upon the
American Negro serviceman be-
cause of their unlimited hospitality
which they bestowed him, therefore
the Negro soldier will not forget
them. 1t is true that there are scores
of improvements needed along the
political, social, educational and
economic lines but in time these will
come. These people have been awak-
ened.
In the next few years many for
mer Negro servicemen will be re-
turning to the middle east to cast
their lot with the people of the mid
die east unless there is a social revo-
luton in America in which racial
prejudice is erased. Returning Ne
gro servicemen are not in the mood
to accept the silly and ignorant
practice of racial discrimination
here in this so-called ''land Of the
free"
The World War Ii Negro soldier
has had ample time to think. His
father in World War | never had
the chance to mingle as freely nor
as long with the peoples Of other
lands. In few months the World
War | soldier was back in America
with only glimpse of what the
other "side" was like.
Today it is different story.

Sartorial Reconversion

To millions OF men in the armed
services-and thousands Of their
feminine counterpartS, civilian" Is
the most beautiful word in the Eng
lish language today because 1t rep
resents what they most want to be.
For both sexes, the change carries
with 1t the problem OF converting a
regulation wardrobe to a more suit
able civilian one-which is no small
matter in these days of high prices
and merchandise shortages.
Since their first civilian task Is
usually finding a job, the selection
Of this civilian wardrobe is very i'm
portant. As one attractive young
naval lieutenant said to us the other
day in discussing the problem, after
all you don't want to look like just
another guy in the horde of job
hunters!" And so he ended up with
suit that "cost me twice as much
as any I ever bought in my life, but
it's worth It'll" We think he's on the
right track-and that both men and
women should do a lot of thinking
before spending even a little of their
separation pay. At a time like this
it's good sound buying to buy at
least one very good suit-which will
look better and last longer than
their less expensive copieS-and to
cut financial corners by converting
some OF your uniforms to civilian
uses.
The current issue of "Mademoi-
selle" shows several ways that
WAVES and WACS can convert to
civilian-with a bow to Designer
Helen Cookman for most of the
ideas. For example, the regular
WAVE or SPAR uniform can become
a smart civilian suit simply by low
ering the pocket flaps from chest to
hips, replacing the brassy buttons

holds for her overcoat which needs
only to be nipped in 4 bit at the
waistline and dyed to make hand
some greatcoat, very smart topped
by one Of the new globular berets.
To any of these, of course, a girl
would want to add accessories in
bright exciting colors.
II the man in your life is having
such wardrobe problems, you might
pass on a few tips from one of the
best tailorS in town. Naval officers
blues make perfectly good double
breasted suits by simply having the
brassworks removed and the lapels
recut so that they will roll to the
second button. eve can tell you
where to have it done, tooD And
minor changes would make good
civilian raincoat out of the Nays
good double e-breasted Job.
The men of the Army and the
Marines will find their uniforms less
convertible, but officers pinks make
handsome slacks to be teamed with
tweed or plaid jackets. And, as
matter Of fact, CT trousers make
pretty good spare slacks, too.
The blouses Of Army and Marine
uniforms are more difficult to con-
vert. However, many a veteran has
already found out that one can be
successfully cut down to make
battle jacket which will be useful
for sportswear in a civilians world.
The distaff side of these services
have been trying that same sar-
torial trick because the battle Jacket
suit, after all, is one of the smart
suit fashions. This battle jacket
may not be mentioned in our his
tory books, but as far as fashions
lists are concerned, it's one of Gen.
s1ke'S" big contributions!

with something less blatant, remov-
ing the insignia (naturally) and
changing the lapels. Add a few new
accessories and the result Is most
fashion worthy. According to Miss
Goodman, another suit might be-
come an afternoon suit by cutting
OIL the lower part Of the jacket and
sewing 1t on again as a fiip-back
peplum while an alternate dressup
idea involves removing the Navy
collar, velvet-binding and velvet
buttoning the rest-first, of course,
having moved the pocket flaps from
their uniform-identifying spot on
the chest. Velvet can also be used
to reconvert the WAVE or SPAR
overcoat to which it adds verve and
new look when used as a Chester
f1eldian collar. One of our local
tailor designers has said that he
can do all the above-and more
for any uniform, and says that
WAVE overcoat can be remodeled
in a variety Of ways because of its
full coat. The raincoat gets q new
lease on life when it's made single
breasted, given a high close-fitting
convertible collar and has its full

there1l have to be a good dye job
before the girls will consider wear

dye lovely deep shade Of green,
