The agreement with the Sinclair
corporation covers the entire $780,
900 square-mile empire. In return
for permission to explore for oil
and ship it out of the country, the
company will pay royalties to the
Emperor and build one or more
schools, hospitals, clinics and re-
search foundations. 1t will also f.
nance education for Ethiopians in
the United States for the next ten
years. Part of the empire will be
under 50-year lease. All oil develop
ment rights for the entire territory
will rest exclusively with the Sin
clair Corp. for five years. Then so
per cent of the territory will be re-
leased. After a further exploratory
period of five years, another rs
per cent of the country will be
released from the agreement.
Commenting on the agreement,
Mr.. Sinclair said: 1.-THE develop
ment of petroleum in commercial
quantities would greatly strengthen
the United States economically in
the Middle East, and would con-
tribute to the economic and social
welfare of Ethiopia"

Delegation Hears
Phillip Randolph
By C. T. r NeIsnn

Washington, D. C. (by Wire)-
Enactment of the bill for a perma-
nent fair employment practices
committee in the present session of
the Congress will be real blow to
fascism in America and abroad"
declared A. Philip Randolph, CO.
chairman for the National Council
for permanent FEPC in the open
ing address to the National Con-
ference of local councils for FEPC
Wednesday in Carver hall.
The militant leader told dele
gates from rs states the fight for
the permanent FEPC is tied up
with the fight for the full employ
ment bill; the arguments for one
are the arguments for the other.
ave are here to make this fight a
crusade against the forces of reac-
ton and we must make America
see that this fight against discrimi-
nation in employment is impor-
tant," he said.
Mr.. Randolph referred to the fact
that President Truman had gone
to Potsdam and with other leaders
of United Nations had declared that
a democracy is to be observed in
the conquered nations. "The Presi-
dent and others interested in de-
mocracy might cross the Potomac
in Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, and
other states and make democracy
real in this nation" Mr.. Randolph
said.
He admitted that the forces
against the proposed legislation are
strong and well organized. He
listed as enemies of the bill S-101
HR-2232, the powerful National
Manufacturers Association and re-
dictionaries both in the south and
north. There is a strong moral
sense in America that favors this
legislation that we must help make
articulate," Mr.. Randolph as
serted.
More than 10 delegates repre-
senting many Labor Unions, inter
faith and interracial civic and re-
ligious organizations from many
cities throughout the nation includ-
ing Seattle, Washington, st. Paul
and Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago,
Houston, Little Rock, Birmingham,
Tampa, Atlanta, Fort Worth, Dali
las, Shreveport, and New Orleans,
are attending the conference.
The Minnesota delegation of
eight is one Of the largest delega-
tons attending the conference.
The delegation had a conference
with Representative Joseph O'Hara
on Wednesday afternoon and urged
him to sign the discharge petition
for the bill for a permanent FEPC.
Mr.. O'Hsra told the delegation that
he would consider the matter.

The consummation of the agree

regarded by many here as Smart
move" 1t is pointed out that Amer
ica's foreign policy has frequently
been influenced by the interests of
American big business. Ethiopia
has long been seeking an outlet to
the sea-unsuccessfully. It has
made repeated demands for annex

been stymied by the British since
Ethiopia was freed from under the

The statement attributed by
the Daily News to Mr.. Stanley
was made recently in New
York City when eight repre-
sentatives of the NNPA had
luncheon conference with the
editors of the trade magazine,
Editor and Publisher. Mr..
Stanley, at that time, pointed
out also strong arguments
against the practice of daily
newspapers playing up Negro
crime, while almost playing
down Negro achievement. This
results, he said, in the false i'm
pressiOns that Negroes are
nothing but a race Of criminals.
No other race, he declared, Is
so identified in the news and
some papers in leading cities
like Cincinnati, Chicago and
New York have stopped the
practice Of labelling Negro
news. q

receiving gold and silver emblem
of honor pins from Mayor Nc

Mayor said.

has aligned himself with the lib

Setting forth a 21-point program,
the President gave prominent place
to the FEPC. 1t marked the first
time since the agency was created
that mention of it has been included
in a message from the President
to the Congress. Its inclusion puts
it in the category of must" legis-
lation.
Concerning the FEPC, the
President declared: During
the years of war production we
made substantial progress in
overcoming many of the pref
udices which resulted in dis
ordinations against minority
groups.
"Many of the injustices
based upon considerations of
race, religion, and color were
removed. Many were prevent
ed. Perfection was not reached,
Of course, but substantial prog
ress was made.
''In the recOnversiOn period
and thereafter, we should make
every effort to continue this
American ideal. 1t is one of the
fundamentals of our political
philosophy, and it should be an
integral part of our economy.
'"The Fair Employment Prac-
tice Committee is continuing
during the transition period. 1
have already requested that
legislation be enacted placing
the Fair Employment Practice
Committee on a permanent
basis. / repeat that recOmmen-
datiOn."
The Presidents statement that
the FEPC "is continuing during
the transition period" is the first
official indication of his intention
not to permit the agency to die
as result of the end of the fighting
phase Of the war.
