COP Committee
Approves Full Time
National Organization
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Setting as its minimum goal the
winning of 8 additional Senate
and % additional House seats
which would give control OF both
houses to the GOP-the Executive
Committee of the Republican Ma
tional Committee yesterday gave
unanimous approval to Chairman
Herbert Brownell, jr.'s, plans for q
year-round, full-time national Or
ganization whose immediate objec-
tive is carrying the 1916 congress
sional elections and aiding in the
election of State officials.
Mr.. Brownell announced the Or
ganization of five new divisions in
the committee setup. Added to
the six already in existence, this
means IL divisions which will func-
ton from national headquarters
here and through regional organiza-
lions yet to be determined.
New Divisions Listed.
The new divisions are veterans,
new voters, congressional aid, field
work headed by campaign co-or-
dinator, and special activities which
includes labor, agriculture, Negro
vote and business. The old divi-
sions, which will continue to fI1nc-
ton, but on wider scale, are radio,
publicity, women, finance, execu-
tive and committees.
1.-THE meeting of the Executive
Committee and its action" said Mr..
Brownwell, marks a milestone in
our organization" He said the or
ganization program also has been
unanimously approved by Republic
can leaders of the Senate and House
with whom he conferred.
The campaign co-ordinator for
1916 is an entirely new Office in the
Republican organization. He is still
to be named by Chairman Brownell.
This official will work closely with
the chairman of the Republican
Senatorial Campaign and Republic
can Congressional Campaign Com
mittees. -.-
Plan Fund Campaign.
A united campaign for funds to
cover the three committees will be
started at once. The budget for the
next nine months for the enlarged
national organization is $4,000
or at the rate of q million dollars
a year. The committee plans to
make special drive for small con-
tributions, Ito spread the load" over
the large mass of Republican voters.
Only one of the five new divisions
has so far a "head"-the congress
sional aid division. Former Senator
Danaher of Connecticut has been
appointed to this post. Mr.. Brownell
will announce the appointment of
other new officials as rapidly as pos
sible. He also has still to appoint
a director of publicity.
Yesterday the appointment Of
Edward L. Bacher of this city to be
executive assistant to the chairman
and of John Mccormick of Chi
cago to be radio director were an
nounced by Mr.. Brownell.
No party policies were discussed
at the meeting Of the committee,
Mr.. Brownell said. Nor were presi-
Dental possibilities-except infor-
mally. 1t is too early to figure on a
presidential nominee, members Of
the committee said, insisting that
furthermore that is not the bust
ness of the national committee.
Mr.. Brownen said that "the first
step" is to set up an effective or
ganization. After that the party
will be ready to tackle questions of
noljcv and LET the voters know what
they may expect.

State Department Policy
Hit Two Telling Blows

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
Twice in the same week, telling
blows were struck at the State De-
partment practice of maintaining a
gap between ight-skinned persons
from Latin America or the Carib-
bean and the American Negro. For
years the State Department has
brought Observation-Disclosures to
this country and putting them in
touch with white North Americans,
and bringing colored Latin Ameri-
cans and putting them in touch with
colored North Americans.
Defying this practice, however,
the National Council of Negro
Women presented Sonora Raquel
Delgado de Castro from Peru, edi-
tor of the review vida y Salud"
to a group of Negro women at the
Council Headquarters. Sonora de
Castro has been in the United
States as a guest of the State De-
partment and has made a tour of
schools, observing elementary
school methods, child health, and
public school health.
During the same week, the Hal
tan Government, at ceremonies at
it's embassy here, honored DR..
Mordecai w. Johnson, president Of
Howard University, by presenting
him the Haitian Honor Of Merit.
Haiti was severely criticized
little over a year ago by a series
of articles in the Chicago Defender
for adhering to a strict color
scheme-to the white side-in the
diplomats and attaches it sent to
America. AS result of the series,
the Ambassador, Andre Liutaud
was called home for conferences
with Pres. Ellie Lescot.

Halle Selassie-
FDR Conference
Raises Speculation

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
Speculations are rife as result of
the White House announcement last
week of a conference held by Presi-
dent Roosevelt with Emperor Halle
Selassie of Ethiopia on the formers
return trip from the Yalta confer
ence with Churchill and Stain.
Only meager information con-
corning the conference was given in
the White House announcement. No
mention was made as to whether
the President and the Emperor dis
cussed Ethiopia's demands for repa-
rations from Italy for damage in
f1icted upon that country during the
Italian invasion in 1885. Nor did
it say whether the two heads of
government discussed the question
of punishment of Italian war Grim
inals, whose wanton aggressiveness
was the spark which touched off the
present World War II.
Emperor Selassie is reported to
have demanded both on previous
occasions.
In talking with the Emperor, the
White House revealed, the Presi-
dent stressed communications be-
tween the United States and Eth
opia. He said he hoped with i'm
provements in communications,
particularly by air, the two coun-
tries would come to know each
other better.
The Emperor is reported to have
told the President of the many i'm
provements recently made in Eth
opia and enthusiastically endorsed
the Presidents hope for closer re-
lations.
