OPA Head UphOlds
Negro War Progress

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA).
One of the great gains of Ameri-
can democracy during the war was
the widening of employment oppor-
tunities for Negroes and it would
be a grave tragedy if these oppor-
tunities were taken from them, &C
cording to Chester Bowles, OPA
Administrator, after he was in
formed that the State Department
and other Government agencies
were discriminating against Negro
employees of OPA who were being
released because of reduction in
force. He made the statement to
the Civil Service Commission.

Representative William L. Dawson,
Democrat, of Chicago, who also is
assistant to Chairman Robert Han
negan of the Democratic national
committee.
Dawson was referring to the
action of the Republican national
committee at its recent meeting in
Chicago when Chairman Herbert
Brownell of New York asked Perry
W. Howard, Republican national
committeeman for Mississippi, to
withdraw a resolution urging en-
actment of legislation creating a
permanent Fair Employment Prac-
tice Committee.
He also was referring to the re-
fusal of Mr.. Brownell to permit
Mrs. Anne Arnold Hedgeman, ex-
ecutive secretary of the National
Council for Permanent FEPC, to
appear before the committee, and
to the action of the committee in
defeating a motion of Robert R.
Church, Of Tennessee, that a COM
mittee be appointed to study the
best means of getting cOlored vot-
ers back into the republican party.
"The oftener Republicans meet"
said Mr.. Dawson, "the more
pleased I am, because they show by
their actions more eloquently than
I could ever say that the Negro is
not desired in the Republican
party"

Mrs. Thomasina W. Johnson,
legislative representative Of the
AKA Non-Partisan Council, beat
him to the drop, and for twenty
four minutes of the thirty minutes
allowed by General Bradley for the
conference read a wordy statement.
Instead of reading his prepared
statement, General Bradley used
four minutes to tell the delegation
he would attempt Indignation in
veterans hospitals wherever it
could be done, but he would do it
through individual managers of
veterans hospitals and not by a
blanket order. To issue blanket
order abolishing segregation in all
veterans hospitals would only lead
to trouble for all concerned, he
said.
Asked whether he was consider
ing appointing Negro as his ex-
ecutive assistant, General Bradley
revealed that he had reached a de-
cision on the matter, but as a re-
suit of adverse publicity" current

ministration, he and his advisers

the selection at this time. He add
ed the matter is still under con-
sideration.

tleS INTO shape for the first flight
Saturday.
Miller said yesterday that Nc
Donald Bryan, public relations di-
rector for NAL, will be on the first
fplane which lands at Bluethenthal
on the initial northbound flight in
to Wilmington, along with various
other NAL officials.
In addition to the city and
county officials who will greet the
flrst plane to land in regularly
scheduled flights to. and from viii
mington, Miller said he, along
with Railway Express company Of
flc1als who handle air freight. will
also be on hand as part Of the
Official welcoming party.
Application has been made to
CAA, Miller said, for a '1ighted
alrways" permit for Bluethenthal
in order that flights under instru.
ment conditions in bad weather,
and night flights could be started
between Wilmington and other
points on the north-south air route.
At the present time, Miller said,
there is not an official lighted
alrway" between Charleston and
Norfolk on the direct route except
at Raleigh. In the event OF bad
weather, when visual contact flight
conditions do not prevail, a COM
mercial plane is not allowed to land
at an airport which is not listed on
lighted anyways"
CAA installs the facilities to al
low night and instrument flights
Miller said. Main facility is a
radio range beam for planes TO
follow. Comparatively minor prob
lem is the installation of runway
lights.
Once the radio range beam is
put into operation at Bluethenthal,
Miller said, NAL planes which now
travel to Washington from Charles
ton via Florence, Raleigh and
Richmond will fly via Wilmington
and New Bern. Under existing
circumstances, he said, night
flights follow the circuituous route
via Florence as do the planes
which are forced to travel under
instrument conditions.

|Stirnweiss Is Close
To AN-Time Low as
Batting Champion

George Binks, rookie outfielder,
swung the sturdiest bat among the
Mats in the 1945 American League
baseball campaign, official figures
reveal, although by averages he was
not the clubs leading hitter.
Binks, though, made the most hits
with 1853 for the greatest total of
bases, 2l5, and smacked the most
doubles, 80, as he swung for .27s
rating at the plate.
The "unpredictable" Binks num-
bered six home runs among his
extra-base blows, just two less than
made by Harlond Cliff, who led the
Mats with eight circuit drives. He
also got six triples, batting feat
at which the veteran Joe Kuhel was
top Nat with Is. Kuhels batting
mark for the season was .285, while
Cliffs was only oil.
George Myatt marked a fine cam
paign by leading the Mats at bat
with 1896 in 1873 games. That left
him Is points behind the league
leader, the New York Yankees
George Stirnweiss, who hit .309.
In front of all other Mats at bat
was Buddy Lewis with 1888, but the
outfielder came back from the Army
