need PERMANENT FEp(
TO MAKE WAR Seem
won, OFFICIAL SAYS

w "A y II N " i " N Aug. "a
(ANP) - The minorities of this
country will not feel the war has
really been won unless FEPC is
made permanent, declared Mrs.
Ann Hedgeman, executive secre-
tary Of the National Council for
Permanent FEPC, in a statement
released to the press.
'The world rejoiced when the
news came from Potsdam that Tru-
man, Stain and Attlee had issued
decree abolishing all discriminatory
Nazi laws" she said. "Yet here in
the United States, unless congress
acts quickly, FEPC is automatically
abolished by the winning of the
same war that made the Potsdam
declaration possible"
The text of the statement fol-
lows:
"The minorities of this country
will not feel the war has really been
won unless VI Day is soon fol-
lowed by FEPC day-the day the
permanent FEPC bill is enated.
"To them their participation in
this war had special significance
because it was nourished and
spread on the exploitation of race
prejudice. If anything is to be
learned from the rise and fall of
Naziism it is that racial discrim-
nation is self-destructive. The
depths of degradation to which the
Nazi racial precepts led the Ger
man people should be warning to
the world. The ruthless extermina-
ton of millions of Jews was only a
beginning; by the time the atroci-
ties were extended to prisoners of
all races, as at Buchenwald, most
of the German people were either
callous enough or intimidated
enough to close their eyes and ears.
''The world rejoiced when the
news came from Potsdam that Tru-
man, Stain and Attlee had issued a
decree abolishing all discriminatory
Nazi laws in Germany. Yet here in
the United States, unless congress
acts quickly, FEPC is automatical-
ly abolished by the winning of the
same war that made the Potsdam
decree possible.
"Once having given minorities
protection against discrimination,
our government cannot afford to
step backward and withdraw it. We
dare not risk the race riots that
followed the last war. At least we
can attempt to alleviate the ten
sions by assuring that, no matter
how many or how few the jobs,
they are distributed fairly.
Congress must not sit by and
let FEPC die the natural death of
other war agencies. The war
against economic discrimination
must continue.

MEMPHIS POLICE ATTACK NEGRO GIRLS

That Memphis officials are trying
to cloak in silence crime commit
ted by two uniformed officers in
the rape of two Negro girls has
been charged far and wide here.
The mothers of the two girl vic
tins say their daughters were at
tackled by two policemen recently.
They worked at night and got off
from work at l 80 am. The story
they tell is that they were waiting
for street car when police squad
car, manned by two uniformed Of
ficers, drove up.
The girls say they were ordered
to get into the police car, the two
officers telling them that they had
been lettering on the corner for
an hour and half. The girls pro-
tested that they had just been re-
leased from work and exhibited
their health cards. They say they
were ordered to get in the police
car.
Instead of driving to police head
Quarters, the officers turned north
and drove out through Hollywood
and then circled around east and
out Union extended, they say.
| One of the mothers said her
daughter was taken out of the car
and criminally assaulted by one of
the officers on the grass beside the
squad car. The other mother said
her daughter was forced by the
other officer to an unusual sub
mission.
About am, the squad car drove
up in front of the girls home and
let them out, one mother said. She
told how the two girls came run
ming into the house crying. She said
the officers told them they would
kill them if they told what had hap
pened.
| One of the mothers called the
girls employer and told him what
had happened. With him, the moth
er took their daughters to police
headquarters, where they say they
tcld their story to police Chief Car
roll Seabrook.
| The girls were locked up in the
women's headquarters and police
officials started their investigation.
The girls were questioned repeated
ly and were held in jail until the fol-
lowing Monday afternoon, their
parents said.
One Of the girls told police Off
cials that she lost her health card
in the struggle with the officers.
| Her mother said that the police told
her they found the health card in
the squad card.
"The two girls were taken into
a room where a lot of police Off
GERS were lined up and were told to
pick out the guilty man." one of
the mothers said. "When the girls
entered the room, they were told by

Seventh War Loan
To Be Biggest
Challenge" Yet

The 9TH War Loan drive, dates
yet to be decided upon, will prob
ably be the greatest challenge yet
presented to Mississippians,' Rex
1. Brown, chairman of the Miss
issippi War Finance committee
said after returning from a con-
ference with U. S. Treasury and
War Finance leaders in st. Louis
In statement directed to county
war finance directors and war loan
drives chairmen, Mr.. Brown, said:
THE 7th War Loan quota will
probably be much higher than any
previous loan The E Bond quota
will be considerably greater. These
probabilities are strong for the
following reasons:
Il. There will be only two cam
paigns in 1915 as compared with
three last year.
80 Production of war materials
remains at high levels, and will for
some time to come, regardless OF
the coure of events in Europe. Mill
tary experts are agreed that the
type of campaigning in the Pacific
with somewhat different kinds oil
| weapons and auxiliary equipment
and under different battle anc
| weather conditions will require
new equipment and new clothing
for the troops. About the only usa-
| BILE material which can be moved
from Europe economically will be
heavy artillery.
80. The outlook for increasing
supplies for civilian goods is moi
bright In fact, greater scarcities
are anticipated and the Withdrawal.
of money from circulation through
the sale of war bonds remains one
of the strongest means of combat
ing initiation. This has influenced
the conclusion that higher E Bono
quotas are desirable, the greater
emphasis must be placed on theil
purchase as their greatest marker
is among those in income brackets
who are contributing mostly to the
inflationary trend"
MIR. Brown said dates and quota.
of the drive will be announced
within the next few weeks. He ur
ged the war finance leaders t.
check your organization and SCI
that it is complete, even down t.
the smallest community" In pre-
vious drives, Mississippi has hae
quotas as high as Sc million dollars
In each drive the state had exceed
ed its goal by good margin.

Government Gets
Profit on War
Prisoner Labor

Prisoners of war from camps in
Mississippi, working at army in
stallations and under private and
public contracts in the state re-
turned a profit to the government
of $1,733, 1885 in the four month
period ending December 81. 1914
according to figures released in
Atlanta by headquarters, fourth
service command.
The profit represents the differ
ence between the 80 cents per day
each working prisoner receives in
canteen coupons and the per day
cash wage scale which would have
been paid civilian workers for like
tasks, it is explained.
In order to make prisoner labor
available in areas of manpower
shortages without substituting the
private contractor, the war depart
ment follows the policy of requir-
ing private contractors to pay the
treasury department the same wage
rate per unit of work completed
by prisoners that would have been
paid to free civilian labor for the
same amount of work. Prisoners
of war are used only where civilian
labor is unavailable
The report shows that on Miss
issippi army installations where
the prisoners work in shops, laun-
dries or on the grounds, they work
ed 562, 405 man days with a saving
to the government of 81 ,551 ,038. 16.
On private contract work in the
state-gathering crops, pulp wood
work and other activities for the
same period, the prisoners worked
194,29 man days and showed a
profit to the government of $780,
1928.
On public contract work-labor
for state, municipal or government
tai agencies, other than the army
in Mississippi, the prisoners
worked 1881 man days and show
ed profit to the government OF
$31 ,84412.
The major part of the work done
in Mississippi by the prisoners was
in the Delta section where they
worked 1898 man days in the
cotton harvest and picked 1881
483 pounds Of cotton, or approx
mately 23,063 bales.
On pulpwood work in the state
they labored 1872 man days anc
put up 8,199 cords of wood.
