Blood, NOT Race.
VifoI Says Writer

WASHlNGION, May u
(LPA)-'I never noticed a doc
tor in a front-line casualty sta
ton examining blood plasma
container to see whether it had
white or Negro blood, said Will
liam Kadison, Red Cross over
seas correspondent home on ro-
tation leave. Much less did l
ever see wounded CT specify
the kind of plasma he wanted"
when a CT is il a condition
that needs a plasma injection,
Kadison continued, "he's IN no
shape to worry about what
blood, or whose blood he's get
ting. It's blood, and he needs it.
That's enough.
Kadison, who was one of the
first members of the Los Angeles
unit of the American Newspaper
Guild-CIO spoke of other war
front experiences he and other
correspondents have had in the
Southwest Pacific theater of op-
erations. Especially he had
praise for the foreign CORES
pondents of the Negro press.
Praises Negro Press
They're hard workers" he
said. Frequently they not only
dig out and write their stories,
but take pictures as well. And
there is no distinction made, pro-
fessionally or socially, among the
representatives of Negro or other
papers"
Kadison, now in his thirties,
left his Los Angeles home in
1887 to live and work in Au-
stralia, and, since his assignment
with Red Cross, has been con-
nected with Genl. MacArthur's
command.

Spending
Your Buck
BY
Harold
Billheinner

Working people are once
more being urged to write
their representatives in Wash
ington demanding that there
be no further tampering with
price control.
In the past few months we
have witnessed Cotton Tex
tile, Steel and other indus
tries receive price raises add
ing millions to their profits,
while labor was denied even
enough to compensate for the
rise in the cost of living that
has been steadily taking place.
At the present time a de-
termined drive is being made
by the meat packers and their
cohorts in Washington for a
raise in meat prices. Their
campaign has been very care
fully planned and skillfulAy
executed Trading on the
peoples hunger and the fact
that there is a scarcity that
many people believe has been
deliberately planned, they are
now thre e n j n g an even
worse shortage unless they are
allowed greater profits.
CONGRESS WILL AGREE
From all accounts, Congress
and price fixing agencies in
Washington are going to ac-
cede to the Packers demands
as they have acceded in the
past to the demands of other
big business groups. Congress
sionaI enemies of price control
such as Senator Taft of Ohio
have already started a cam
paign for elimination of OPA
and other agencies which tend
to impede the profits of Big
Business. 1t is a safe bet,
however, that there will be no
attempt made by these gentle
men to do away with the War
Labor Board, or the Little
Steel formula.
There was never a better
time than right now for work.
ing people to invest a dollar
in PAC and become part of
movement that is attempting
to advance the interest of the
comman man through con-
certed political action. Labor
must learn to protect its eco
nomic interest through intel
ligent use of the ballot. To
vote intelligently, laboring
men and women must become
politically minded. PAC is an
effort to band working peo-
pie together and make them
politically conscious of their
obligations to themselves and
the future generation who will
have to depend more than ever
before on social legislation.
Spend your buck where it
will help you most Join PAC

Vets Will Go to School

WASHINGTON (LPA)-One
million men and women now in
the armed forces expect to re-
turn to full time schooling when
the war is over, a booklet is
sued by the u. S. Office of Edu-
cation asserts. An estimated g.
100000, or 25To of the probably
total members of the armed
forces have definite plans for
pursuing some form of educa-
ton or technical training, the
report indicates. The m or e
schooling a soldier had before
entering the services, the more
likely he is to want more educa-
ton, according to the report.
