When the 76lst went with 9TH

it had one of its toughest en-
counters at Tillet, Belgium, above

Votos Impartial
Labor Department

Other separate agencies dealing
with labor will continue. The United
States Employment service and the
apprenticeship and training pro-
gram are now part Of the War Man
power commission, Social security
is run by the social security board.
II the movement to create a new
department of welfare succeeds, this
new set-up might conceivably alb
sorb social security and also the
children's bureau, now under the la
Dor department
The National Labor Relations
board, which administers its quasi
Judicial functions under the Wagner
act, now Independent, would have
its housekeeping done by the de-
partment-that is, its financing, per-
sonnet and such matters would be
under the secretary Of labor.
Since Schwellenbach has been in
Office he has talked to a whole string
Of labor men and a whole string Of
management men, too.
~ am not a labor Official" he
says, II am a public Official"
That pretty well sets up his posi-
ton and, as | said it makes his job,
so far as the Hobbies Of labor and
management 60, about as thankless
as the labors Of Hercules. Congress
feels that the labor department Is
supposed to look after labor inter.
ests and what Judge Schwellenbact
is shooting at is to have it operate
with the impartiality Of a court
But his chief concern now is to CON
solidate under one head all govern
ment activities pertaining to labor.

Three Arkansas soldiers are

The men belong to the 657th
Port Company, one of the oldest
Transportation Corps units of the
Army-and one (which has a
long and meritorious record to its
credit in the Amy Service
Forces" Organized early in
1912, its members were sent first
to Excursion Inlet in the south

construction work on the Alcan
Highway until January 1914.
After a few months in the United

brief stay and, a few days after

him for spite. II was given to him
by his old friend, Harry Truman,
because the President believed that,
like Hercules. Schwellenbach could
deliver. He was q popular, hard
working senator. He was a popular,
Woodworking judge. The requests Of
goddesses and presidents are COM
mands, so the Judge laid aside his
robe, rolled up his sleeves and
started in.
The first thing he found out when
he reached the palatial STABLES
on Constitution avenue was that taxi
ing care of administrative matters
would keep any labor secretary as
busy as Augeas should have been
with his 5000 oxen. No wonder no.
body quite dared to try to corral the
20-some agencies, rightly under the
authority Of the department. To adj
minister them would under the
present set-up be an impossible
job. And so they grew UP with their
own public relations departments.
their own statistical services and le-
gal advisors, separate entities all
going their own sweet, if sometimes
conflicting, way.
So the first thing that Schwellen-
bach did was to get together a small
group who knew the department,
who knew organization and who
knew Washington, to find out If
something couldn't be done to knit
the functions of the department
more closely together so the head
man wouldn't have TO sign all the
travel orders and decide whether
there was enough ice in the iced
tea in the cafeteria; and attend to
other trivia which might better be
delegated.
This was the first step in prepar-
Ing the old home to absorb its prodi-
gal children. When the new secre-
tary arrived in his panneled office,
he called the staff Of the depart
ment together and said he knew
that everyone agreed that there
had to be reorganization and that
each division head also probably
agreed that his own group didn't
need to be tempered with. Then he
went ahead.
As this is written II is hoped that
the report of the crew Of investiga.
tors and a similar study Of the
extra-mural activities will be COM
pleted soon so that a comprehensive

Reorganization
Touchy Problem

The next step would logically be
an executive order from the Presi'
dent embodying the SehWellenbach
report to make the suggested
changes, With his war powers, the
President wouldn't have to ask the
pleasure of congress. But President
Truman doesn't want the changes
he makes to be temporary affairs.
Like every other president since
Grover Cleveland. he has requested
powers to reorganize the govern
ment and never has congress Of
fered a carte-blanche go-ahead.
Such bill is pending in congress
now. However, II the suggestions
made by Secretary Schwellenbach
were considered reasonable, they
might be put into bill and passed.
In any case they will probably be
presented before the other measure
authorizing wider presidential au-
thority 10 considered.
In the meantime, labor itself Is
tending to cloud the atmosphere in.
solar as acceptance of any efforts
to restore full, free, collective bar
gaining, which the no-strike pledge
and various wartime restrictions
have virtually suspended. The pub
lie is getting very irritated with vio-
lations Of the np-strike pledge and
what many feel to be union demands
which, whether or not they appear
fair as between labor and manage
ment. do not take the consumer into
consideration. 49,.
Much of the antagonism Is due to
the feeling Of the men who resented
strikes while they were In the serv-
Ice. Schwellenbach managed to
smooth out one OF the toughest vet
Grams versus unions troubles the
country ever witnessed back In his
home state of Washington after the
last war, He admits there is no
doubt that such antagonism exists
now. I'VE may as well face it," he
says. But he thinks he can handle Il.
One habit which Schwellenbach
wants to break up, and it is as
sumed the President wants him to
break up, is having labor disputes
leap-frog right into the lap of the
White House. Some of the o1d-line
labor department officials used to
Writhe every time a long, hot tele-
gram went out such as some Of
those addressed to John Lewis while
the coal strike was going on, which
were signed by President Roosevelt,

%COUKSE CAM
LETTER TO
DOWN OUR WAY"
July "a, l945
Dear Frances Sampson:

This is the second time | have
been tempted to write you. Last
week and this week the bows
and | of my company have read
your column and both times we
went away wondering what your
intentions are. To us YOU seem
to be an agitator or one who is
dong nothing but trying to
create more dissension between
the Negro and white man, Your
foolish article about we should
have Negro doctors instead of
white is unheard of. A man re-
CARELESS of color chooses whose
ever he wishes to attend him in
time of sickness. There are many
white men and women who have
Negro doctors as their phYicians.
What have you to say aboHt that,
should they get rid of a good doc
tor just because his color is
black? If that happened you
would probably play it up to its
fullest in your column. Another
thing, Miss Sampson, you made
wide statement when you said
the Negro loves his dirt, NUT and
filth and then use a hog or pig in
giving a demonstration of him.
We say speak for yourself not for
the Is million Negroes as a whole,
for we don't appreciate your
ideas or views. Maybe you were
referring to the Negro popula-
ton Of Pine Bluff, the garden city
of Arkansas. 1t can't be much of
a garden city when, according to
you, it Is filled with dirt, mud and
filth. The boys in this outfit
from Pine Bluff and other cities
of Arkansas do not like your col
umn.
We became considerably more
angered at the opening sentence
OF your column in June % edi-
ton. You attacked the problem
in the wrong manner. That is
why those boys will continue to
play in the mud Of Barraque
Street. What you are doing is
sitting down, criticising others
and not lifting a finger yourself
to better the situation You
want the churches and schools
to do the work. All they can do
is preach and teach the Negro
to better his condition and not
wait for others to do the work.
Who built the Fairgrounds in
Oakland Park? The people that
live there, right? The same can
be done in and around Barraque
St, since your town is segregated
We of the Army engineers love
to read papers with news of the
Negro but we are ashamed to
have our white brothers read
them when articles or columns
such as the one you write are
printed in them.

Jap Phone Tapping Halted

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional investigator
learned today the Navy stopped
tapping Japanese consulate tele-
phones in Honolulu five. days
before Pearl Harbor. partly be-
cause an officer was "incensed'
with FBI actions.
This disclosure was made in re.
port by 1t. Col. Henry G. Clausen
special investigator for former Sec
retary Of War Stimson. 1t was given
to members OF the Pearl Harbor In
vestigating Committee.
Col. Clausen was shown to have
obtained on April ~, 1945, an af1-
davit from 1t. Donald Woodrum
who served in the naval intelligence
division at Pearl Harbor at the time
OF the Japanese attack.
1t. Woodrum said in his state
ment that Rear Admiral (then cap
tain) Irving H. Mayfleld, naval dis
trict intelligence officer, had Or
dered surveillance of the Japanese
consuls telephones stopped on De-
cember 2, 1941, and that this order
was effective until after the attack.
Testimony has shown that the
FBI had one line tapped and

informed an FBI man about the
discovery Of their tap and that the
FBI oficial protested vigorously to
telephone executives that they were
permitting secret information to
get out.
when Capt. Mayfield, then dis
trict intelligence ofncer, learned
of the FBI protest at the telephone
company" 1t. Woodrum said, "he
was not only incensed at their fail
ure to consult with him before
taking such action but he considered
the action to be a serious breach
Of security. -
"Cognizant Of his instructions
from the chief of naval operations
to avoid any possibility Of interna-
tional complications and thoroughly
aware Of the explosive potentialities
Of the surveillances being conducted,
Capt. Mayfield ordered the. imri1e-
diate discontinuance of all tele-
phone surveillances."
1t. Woodrum's story apparently
