white LEGI0NNAIRES SEEK
NEGRO CIVIC CENTER

KSON, Miss, July 25
(ANP)-In an unprecedented ac-
tion at it's regular meeting here
June IL the Henry H. Graves Post
of the American Legion, composed
entirely of white veterans, adopted
a resolution asking the city to erect
an auditorium in honor of the dead
Negro soldiers of World War and
II, designed and developed that it
might be used as the center of Ne
gro civic and cultural life of the
city.
The adoption of the resolution
became part of the Legion's pro-
posal calling upon the mayor and
commissioners to erect new city
auditorium to be dedicated to the
white soldier dead of the world
wars.
Pointing out that there is grow
ing consciousness on the part Of
everyone that there must be an in
creased expenditure of public funds
to the end that health, educational
and cultural services be improved
and expended, the Legion proposed
that such monies should be devoted
to these purposes among the Negro
citizens of Jackson.

PROFESSIONAL WORKERS FOR NORTHERN INDUSTRY
TO ITS NATIONAL STAFFIIh EMPL 0YMENT FIGHT

NASHVILLE, July 25 (ANP)-l
The name of Sen. Theodore G.. Bill
DO, frequently called Mississippi's
white supremacy" e d er, was
mentioned as one of the south's
congressman who are serving the
interests of northern capitalists in
the fight against the FEPC bill.
The tieup of Bilbo and o h e r
southern congressman with north
ern financiers was revealed last
week by Clark Foreman, president,
Southern Conference for Human
Welfare, d u i n G discussion on
"What's New A b ou t t h e N e w
South" as Fisk university here.
In explaining the Bilbo filibuster
against the FEPC, he said the fl
nancial north does not want FEPC
and they are letting the southern
ers fight it for them. Such sena-
tors as Bilbo do not represent the
south, he declared, but represent
northern capital in the south.
Northern capitalists do not want
the poll tax repealed, he continued,
then c i t e d an Alabama instance
where it was said that a repeal of
the poll tax would scare northern
investors away, and therefore the
state was against repeal.
Clark listed five barriers to dem
ocracy in the south:
1. The poll tax.
2. Registration of voters.
3. The white primary.
4. Reappointment of state legis-
latures to give preference to agri-
cultural sections where votes are
more easily controlled.
5. The county unit vote, which

he called "a distortion of the cleo
toral college.
He mentioned two m a j O r Incl
dents that occurred in the south last
July 4. One was the raising of the
American flag in Dado county, Ca,
during independence day celebra-
tions and the other was the celebra-
ton of Independence at Vicksburg,
Miss. Both events were interpreted
as marking the end of 80-year post
Civic war rebellion a G a n the
United States government.
In predicting that permanent
FEPC bill will be passed, on the
basis Of the wartime m asure,
Clark said human as we'll as physi-
cal values will soon be taken into
consideration. The caste system is
the basis for fascism, he declared.

RATI0NING Seen THROUGH
MOST OF next YEAR

WASHINGTON, July 25-The
OPA said today rationing will
probably continue through most of
1916, but held out hope it may end
late that year.
Announcing plans to distribute
ration book five next Dec. 3-15,
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles said:
''The supply agencies-the de-
partment of agriculture and the
War Production Board-have told
us meats and fats, canned goods,
sugar and shoes all will be in tight
supply for some months to come,
so it looks as if ration book will
be needed throughout most Of next
year.
"We hope that book five will be
the last in the series of wartime
ration books, and that there will
be plenty of stamps we won't have
to use."
New ga" gasoline books also will
be issued at the same time. AS in
the past, schools and other public
buildings will be the distributing
points.
Both types of books will be ar
ranged to last from 10 to Is
months, as war needs dictate. The
gasoline book will become valid
Dec. %, book five soon after New
Years.
Also today, Secretary of Agri-
culture Anderson announced for
mally there are no plans for soap
rationing. He appealed to house
wives to buy only what soap they
need, "instead of starting runs on
scarce stocks"
Anderson said manufacturers
will be permitted to make a 10 per
cent increase in the output of
household heavy duty laundry type
soap chips, flakes, powders, granu-
lated and other similar types.

WASHINGTON, July 25 fANP)
Louis B. Schwellenbach, the new
secretary of labor, is for full en-
ployment, fair employment with or
without commission, a nd sees
only the recognition of "the dignity
of man" as the controlling factor in
personal evaluations.
Schwellenbach talked with this
reporter for 35 m n u t e and an
swered questions without equivoca-
ton, most of them on the record.
I've had two opportunities in my
life to demonstrate my attitude to-
wards Negroes" he a i d quite
frankly. "Once while in the senate
and the other while federal judge
in the state of Washington"
He was senator from 1885 to
1910 and during that time the anti
lynch bill came up. eff we had voted
to adjourn each night during the
debates the bill would have lost it's
position on the calendar" he ex-
planned. "My vote invariably was to
recess. Then when the move for
closure was made, | voted for that"
The other instance was when he
went on the bench at Spokane and
found that no Negroes were among
those called for jury duty, he said.
He said he called the jury commits
sioner in, suggested the advisable
ity of adding Negroes to the jury
panel, and this was done. Ordinar-
lily this is not a concern of a judge,
but he took the chance.
Two days before this interview
the secretary had told press con-
ference of his intentions to look
around to see w h a independent

sibilities might be brought within
