RULES COMMITTEE
CONTINUES TO "DILLY-
DAILY" WITH FEPC

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
The filibuster has begun. Legisla-
ton for a permanent FEPC has
run head-on into a filibuster be-
fore even reaching the floor of
Congress for debate.
The filibuster tactic usually is
peculiar to the Senate of the
United States, but FEPC is meet
ing it in the House Rules Com
mittee, of which Rep. Adolph Sab
bath ID. of Ill., is chairman.
The Labor Committee approved
FEPC bill has been before the
Rules Committee five times since
February %. Numerous oppor-
tunities for action on the bill have
been presented. None of them
has been taken. Last Thursday
and Friday, the fourth and fifth
meetings were held. The Southern
members of the committee wanted
to debate the merits of social equal
ity. The Republicans, who say they
are in favor of giving the measure
a favorable rule, went off into de-
bate of the process of judicial re-
view.
On Friday, as if by pre-arrange-
ment that the measure would not be
voted on, only two of the five
Southern opponents of the bill
showed up for the committee meet
ing. Three of the four Republican
members were present, as was
Chairman Sabbath.
The fear of the Southern men,
bers of the committee of having
the bill come before the House for
debate and vote was expressed by
Rep. Howard Smith Cd. of Va,
who said during Fridays hearings:
"The principles of this bill have
been approved by both the great
Parties in their platforms, and
presume it will become a law"
Later, Smith usurped the posi-
ton of the chairman of the COM
mittee and announced: Il suggest
the Labor Committee reconsider
the bill. The Rules Committee has
no idea of voting for a rule for it
in it's present form" He said he
did not intend to vote for it in
any form.
The hearing ended with some
vague understanding that Rep. Jen-
nings Randolph would call to-
gether his Labor subcommittee
and draft some amendments, par
ticularly on the question of evi-
dence and judicial review, for sub
mission to the full Labor Commit
tee, and then another try will be
made to get a rule.
It's all very confusing!

Mixed Crew
Mons Coust
Guurd Boot

Washington, d. c. (NNPA).-Lt.
Carlton Skinner, former secretary
of the Washington Newspaper
Guild, is responsible for an expert
ment in the Coast Guard to combat
racial discrimination at sea, accord
ing to an article appearing last
week in the Guild Reporter.
Skinner, according to the article,
got permission from Admiral
Waesche to take a mixed crew of
Negro and white men and officers
on a tour of duty to determine
whether abandonment of the segre-
cation policy would work out in
actual operation.
Commander Skinner took out a
mixed crew with the Atlantic fleet
on the Sea Cloud, a weather patrol
ship. At the end of a year, his
ship got a grade IA rating on
every operation.
As a result of SINNERS expert
ment, the Guild Reporter says, the
Coast Guard has concluded the ex-
pertinent was a success and that the
team work was first rate. The re-
port was publicized by Drew Pear
son in his syndicated column.
The Coast Guard reports the Sea
Clouds duty was unusually rough,
and that the ship made every patrol
on schedule. The report also stated
that Negro members of the crew
were like members of any other
crew.
1T would be nice to be able to say
that she was an outstanding ship
and that the Negro members of
the crew were all bursting with
energy and could be seen at all
hours of the day and night wiping
and cleaning and studying" the
report said.
Actually, it wasn't So" the re-
port concluded. The Negroes were
just like any other group of officers
and enlisted men. Some were bright
and quick and some were slow and
lazy. Some wanted to advance and
be promoted. Some didn't give a
damn and wanted to turn in their
sacks all the time"

Veterans Guide
Public Affairs
Pamphlet Out

To help returning service men,
whether able-bodied or handi-
capped, to pick up the threads of
their civilian lives with the least
possible confusion, the Public At
fairs Committee of New York to-
day published the Veterans Guide,
a S2-page, illustrated pamphlet
prepared by Dallas Johnson.
This timely handbook addresses
itself to the problems facing our
ex-service men and women from
the very day they receive their dis
charge papers and their tive-cents-
annie travel allowance; it is a
sequel to Dallas Johnson's pam
phlet Facts and Tips for Service
Men and Women. which dealt with
rights and privileges while in serv-
ice and which was issued by the
Committee last year.
In the Veterans Guide, ex-serv-
ice men and women are told not
only what their legal rights are, but
how to make the most of them, how
to avoid red tape, and where to go
for further help with their indi-
vidual problems.
The pamphlet tells the veteran
how to go about getting a former
job back, where to look for a new
one, and how to determine the kind
Of job he is best fitted for. Prefer
ence for veterans in Civil Service
appointments is explained; and
there is an analysis Of the chances
for getting good wages and for
keeping a job, once it has been
found.
The veteran is told how much
money he can expect upon dis
charge; what unemployment allow
ances he will receive should he be
unable to find a job; and how his
family will fare financially if some
thing should happen to him.
The pros and cons of buying a
house, and the problems involved
in getting a farm or going into
business are also explored, giving
answers to questions like these:
When is a good time to build or buy
a house? What kind of loans are
most advantageous ? D.. How much
good farming land is available to
veterans, and where? What are the
chances for making farming pay?
What does a veteran need to
know in order to start "a little
business of his own" Why is the
problem of staying in business
more important than starting?
Those who want to continue their
education where they left of before
the war or who want to secure addi-
tional instruction, those who want
to learn a new trade, and those who
need training to overcome war
inflicted handicaps will find their
questions answered in a section en-
titled Your Education After the
War"
The rights and benefits" of the
merchant seamen are outlined in
section called IF You Are in the
Merchant Marine"
All the facts in this guide for the
men and women who are leaving
the services have been checked for
accuracy with the government and
the private agencies concerned.
Veterans Guide, by Dallas John
son, is Pamphlet No. 1O2 in the
series of popular, factual, ten-cent

The Wrangell sentinel., 1945-03-02

make a jump. Even with all the noise in the barracks it really car ries me back to Wrangell.
 l guess this is enough testimonial to convince the editors of the Wrangell Sentinel that it is a pretty good paper
 Except for the rain today's jump ought to be OK. Last week when we jumped we had a ground wind of between 20 and 25 miles an hour. When I looked down to the ground it was slipping away from under me so fast q was drifting in backwards) I just closed my eyes and sang to myself The idea of the song is to keep from getting pan ieky and to be partially relaxed when I hit so I wouldn't break a few bones.
 was lucky when I hit as my chute got caught in a tree-other men were dragged across the field as the ground wind made it more than JUST DIFFICULT to collapse the chute.
 No one was hurt though one of my buddies had his main chute fail and got his reserve open only about hundred feet above the ground 400 feet was one hell of a long fall!
 Accidents Or near accidents are few and far between for the indi- yidual. For example my first bad one was my ninth when I got knocked out twice-once when the chute opened and once when I hit the ground. don't expect another bad one for quite a while yet. This Thursday night I make my thir- teenth jump so I'll let you know if there is anything unlucky about that number.
 We haven't been doing much that is very interesting except a few jumps. The rest of the work Is strictly infantry tactics that every soldier knows.
 We'll it is almost time to hook up" so I'll go now.
 Please keep the papers coming and thanks a million for them-I really appreciate "The Letter From Home"
 Sincerely, Lew Jr. P.S. Geronimo!!!

 It doesn't take a Philadelphia lawyer to figure this one out. The Outside boys are going to beat this one if they can possibly do it. This Is the one where the company pres sure increases on the boys in the senate. The stakes are high. On them hinges whether this territor- ial senate has the interests of Al- aska at heart or the interests of the outside companies. The senate roll call on this one will give you the key to how the senatorial mind works-for or against Alaska state hood.

PVT. LEW WILLIAMS
 MAKES TWELFTH JUMP

The Sentinel is in receipt of a letter from Pvt. Lew Williams, now taking advanced training as a para | trooper at Camp MacKall, North Carolina. Son of Secretary and Mrs. Lew M. Williams, he visited here briefly last fall after furlough spent with his parents in Juneau. Pvt. Williams writes interestingly of his experiences, and the Sentinel editors hope other Wrangell serv- icemen will write to us. Following Is the letter:
 I just finished the second issue of the Sentinel I've received since being stationed here.
 There is no need in my saying what a wonderful paper it is be- cause we all know that now Heaven knows it would look pecu- liar if I said anything against the paper!
 However I really enjoy reading it to keep me in touch with what I'm fighting for-I lose contact after a day on KIP! I sort of re- meulUef liLble Lnlu66 tndG ohJOy things can come home to when get out of this mess. It really is nice to know that some places are not completely destroyed by war though they are in there pitching for their boys.
 The one specific reason I en- joyed the paper this morning is to calm my nerves before the jump I make this afternoon-it will be my twelfth. Somehow it seems a trick of fate that I always receive the paper a few henKa hefase II

PALAWAN CAPTURED

M 4 NILA A-American invasion forces landed Wednesday on Pala- wan, westernmost of the Philip pines and quickly captured the main port, capital city and two air fields in a move to dominate the South China sea and the approach es to Japanese held Indo China, Thailand, Malaya and Singapore.
 Achieving a complete surprise, the invaders seized control" of the fifth largest island in the archipe- lago, 250 miles southwest of Ma nila, Gen. Douglas Macarthur an nounced today. He pointed out that the successful operation by Mai Gen. Jens A. Does, veteran 41st in fantry division twill insure the safe passage of our own sea trans port" through the Sulu sea, render the area hazardous for the enemy and will condemn all his conquest in the south to reCapture."
 To the south lie the rich Neither lands East Indies.
 Macarthur said the enemy "en- grossed with operations elsewhere, again failed to diagnose the Am erican plans and properly to pre- pare his defense" Consequently American losses were termed "very light"

1t Happened Here:

Dollar-wise and penny-poor
might be a new-fangled adage,
but its true. Yesterday, a well
dressed woman stepped from a
car near the postOffice and
scanned the faces of passersby
as though looking for familiar
face she peered into sew
eral parked cars, then glanced
toward the postofnce. Finally,
and with a pleased smile, she
approached another woman.
