ST., 900 Given
For Negro Boy
Scouts Program

The Carnegie Corporation of New
York has appropriated $4,000 to
the Boy Scouts of America to help
bring the Cub Scout and Boy
Scout Program to more Negro boys
in the South, it was announced by
DR.. Stanley A. Harris, National Di-
rector of the InterraciaI Service of
the Boy ocSuts of America. This
fund, he said, will help local Boy
Scout Councils to purchase camp
sits on witch Negro boys may camp
'"This gift" said DR.. Harris, sup
plements a grant of $4,000 given
to us last June by the General Ed
ucation Board. The $4,000 grant
was to help us obtain men for full
time professional services as Field
Executives. The new $4,000 grant
will help us obtain camps where
the outdoor program of Scouting
may be carried on"
Any Scout Council in the South
needing a Negro Field Executive
or a camp site for Negro boys may
obtain a grant up to $1,000 in each
case, provided the white citizens
of the community contribute one
third of the needed funds and the
Negroes of the community also
contribute the remaining one-third.
A similar grant made by the
General Education Board in 1941
resulted in the employment of near
~ so additional Negro Field Ex-
ecutives and the purchase and de-
velopment of Is new camp sites.
Great progress is being made, :"
said DR.. Harris, in bringing this
very helpful program of civic and
moral education to Negro boys.
Last year our Negro membership
passed the 100000 mark. Region
Six, comprising North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Flo
rida, reports 81 percent increase
in membership among Negro boys
for the first half of 1915.

Of hostilities

WASHINGTON, Aug 24-(R)
- Veterans needn't worry that
a technicality may leave them
without any legal right to their
former Jobs.
That's a promise, and it comes
from President Truman.
The Chief Executive-to4d-a

he intends to see that veterans
who want and are entitled TO
their old jobs get them back. II
additional legislation is needed
Mr.. Truman said, he Will rec

Mai. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
director of Selective Service,
said in Boston Wednesday night
thai due 10 an omission veterans
will not be legally entitled TO
their old jobs when Congress OF
the President declares that nos
Titles are ended.
Originally section OF the
Selectivc Service law carried
guarantee that service man
who had job could 60 back 10
it il he applied for.it within w
DAYS. It also carried a provision
that if the other parts of the Sc
lective Service law were drop

continue.
The present law has the same
guarantee. unchanged. But II
not contain the provision
that these job rights go on no
matter what happens to the rest
Of the act.
That's the point Hershey was
making. AS it now stands, the
announcement Of the end OF nos
tilities would end the entire act,
including job guarantees.
But Mr.. Truman said not 10
worry. that there isn't likely to
he any sudden announcement OF
the end of hostilities. He added
that after the last war 1t TOOK
quite a while to declare the war
formally ended.
That passes the issue back TO
Congress, and the feeling here is
that the veterans-conscious Con-
press will adopt quickly any rec
concentrations Mr.. Truman may
decide are necessary.

Peace League
May Convene
in October.

LONDON, Aug 24-(P-Rati-
fication of the United Nations
Charter by Great Britai raised
the possibility today that the
first plenary session of the
World Security League would be
called by late October.
Members of the executive
committee of the United Nations
Preparatory commission, now
sitting in London to prepare for
the birth of the new organiza-
ton, believe enough nations will
have approved the cfIrter by
that time to permit the calling
of the session.
Britain last night became the
last of the Big Five powers to
ratify. Neither in the House of
Commons nor in the House of
Lords was it necessary to take a
vote, despite blunt statements
in Parliament that the charter
was not strong enough to main
tain peace so long as the atomic
bomb remained British Ameri-
can secret.
There was a general feeting
here that virtually all the coun-
tries will have approved the so
nation pact by late fall, now
that the United States, Britain,
France, Soviet Russia and China
have ratified. The next wave of
ratification decisions is expected
from Latin America.
AWAIT ELECTIONS
The process has been retarded
in some of the nations formerly
occupied by the Germans be-
cause of the necessity of rein
stituting legislative bodies.
Ratification in Belgium and
Norway must await Parliament
airy elections in the fall. Holland
may ratify earlier, since an
emergency Parliament would
have the authority. Czechoslo-
vakia may be in a position to
ratify within two months. when
governmental machinery will be
operating.
