way for the final Wrestling of
one group of islands after the

The exploits of Bomber
Squadron II with Task Force So
are related with enthusiasm and
warmth. How each member of
the squadron went into combat
and how each Jared is told with
punch-packed interest.
The squadron is now broken

DR.. Richard A. Lester, asso-
ciate professor Of economics at
Duke University, in his Pro
viding for Unemployed Workers
in the Transition" (McGraw-
HID, lays down a five-point
program for handling the recon-
version of industry to peace
economy.
This book-the fifth in a SER
les sponsored by the Committee
for Economic Development -
goes into the details Of the prob
lens confronting the ma n
when the war ends and industry
resumes its peacetime opera
tons.
DR.. Testers plan would cost
the federal government an esti-
mated 81 ,25O,0O0,000 and addi-
tIonal amounts would have TO
be spent by the states. He also
would enlist the support of pri-
vate industry to prevent wide
spread unemployment.
His plan involves broadening
of unemployment compensation;
retention by employers of as
many men as possible when in
dustry is Transforming to peace
operations; short-term education
and basic training courses; state
and local public works programs
carefully planned in advance to
perform a useful purpose; and
enactment by Congress of fed
eral grants TO states on match
ed basis for general assistance.
He believes all these programs
should be operating on some
scale before hostilities cease.
The author estimates that total
unemployment is likely to reach
a peak of at least 100000 to
100000 during reconversion
and says that unless things 20

ably higher"

The County Jail

Disclosure OF the brutal conditions under which
youn, o,ls and women ore eonfined~in the Moeomb
county ioi hos shocked the sensibities OF the COM
munty.
There con be no excuse for such disgroeetu
treatment of human beings; mony Of whom, os
motter OF foct stond convicted Of no crime ond are
merely awaiting trol.
On the other hand il would opPeor both useless
and unfair TO charge any individual group with
responsibility in the matter Certoiny the sheriff
con do nothing but use TO the best advantage the
woefuly inadequate facilities which you - the pub
lie - provide We ore confident thot he hos done
just that.
There is, however dire need for q remedy.
We believe 81! decent thinking people ore un-
oterobly opposed to the conditions which Prevoil.
The answer would appear to be found not in re-
examinations but in sound planning for the future
ond to the extent such proves possible, immediate
Temporary steps to alleviate the problem.
A we'll thought out post-wor building prosrom
would seem to provide the key TO Ione-ronse sou-
tion Of the matter.
When the existing county ioiI was constructed
in 1891, the population Of Moeomb county stood at
q bare IS 900 persons. Today, with totoI popuo-
tion in excess Of l42 900 men, women and children
the sheriff is fighting losing bottle against vermn
and moroI decay among inmates with lo count
showing nine women iommed into two tiny cells de-
signed to hold but three persons. As result six Of
the nine GRE forced to spend their nights cold
stone floors without even mattresses let alone beds
to sleep upon No possibility Of separating youthful
first offenders from hardened women Of known NOR
al Ioxity is possible.
The resuItont conditions ore siekenns both to
the eountys seIf-respeet and, in both moral ond
physical sense to the prisoners themselves.
The Moeomb county ioiI Of The future should
provide only modern, proof quarters for both
men ond women prisoners but should include foeil-
ties for segregation Of youthful offenders and those
suffering from disease.
Whot is more such q joi should embrace quar-
for the detention Of juveniles and Of persons suf
ferins from mental ills.
There con be no doubt thot, in looking forward,
county planners should bear in mind the ropd in
dustrioIi1otion Of the and the probability thot
within brief span Of years cells for at least 200
persons must be available.
Thot Of course, is matter we respectfully refer
to the County Board Of Supervisors and its Sherfs
Committee.
The immediate problem, however, is not one
that con be forgotten.
Humon beings surprisingly like your daughters,
wives, sisters ond mothers Ionsuishins today in

answer TO the problem but he would welcome - as

NEGRO TROOPS
OVERSEAS HONORED

Devotion to duty and bravery of
Negro troops overseas will be hon
ored on Ted Malone's Lincoln's
Birthday broadcast this evening at
pm. over Station WING.
Pfc. Charles P. Howard, Negro
correspondent, has been interview
ed by Malone and has revealed the
splendid job now being done by SOL
diers over there. Howard, aged %,
has been in the service three years,
sixteen months of which has been
served overseas. He is one of the
rare soldiers who loves his job, and
is working tirelessly to help Ameri-
cans learn what the Negroes are do
ing overseas.

had been with the firm over a pc
riod of years. According to Warden
Woodford, an employe there for 25
years, all the Negro women and
girls could have gone into the larg-
er dressing room, but some of them
desired to remain in the small room
which they had asked for when
such facilities were expanded.
interviewing another employee, a
woman, Nelson was told that she
had worked at Montgomery's for
more than a year before she knew
anything at all about the smaller
dressing room that was then being
used by most of the Negro women
on the night shift.
The probe ended when NAACP
officials were told that the south
ern white girl who had complained
about Negroes and whites using
the same dressing room, had her
self stopped using it.

Probe by NAACP Shows Negro
Woman Started Jim crowism

ST. PAUL, MINI. Feb. IL (ANP)
Probing into existing conditions
at Montgomery Wards store here,
officials of the local branch of the
NAACP learned that Negro women
themselves had started segregation
in dressing rooms by actually re-
fusing to use the larger dressing
room which was "made for ALL"
and by asking for separate dress
ing room, "about two years ago"
the Rev. Clarence T. r. Nelson,
NAACP head, reports.
Recent trouble began when Mrs.
Anderson, an employe in the lunch
eonette department, was asked to
vacate the large dressing room and
use small one which was main
tained exclusively for Negro en-
ployes.
When Mrs. Anderson was told by
the personnel manager of her de-
partment that a white girl had
complained against Negroes using
the large dressing room, she asked
for her release and went immedi-
ately to the NAACP body to report
the incident.
A committee of two, formed of
Rev. Nelson and Maceo V. Little
John, chairman of the legal redress
committee, conferred with B. C.
Dablow, personnel manager of the
department.
The next day Dablow called Mel
son to say that upon investigating
the dressing room condition he had
learned that Negro women had
asked for a separate dressing room
"about two years ago."
Dablow's statement was further
confirmed when the NAACP heads
interviewed several employees who

A sudden indisposition of DR..
Hans Kinder after conducting the
first half of the program in Con-
stitution Hall last night brought
Francis Garcia to the podium to
conduct the remaining numbers. The
concert was the third given by the
National Symphony for Federal en-
ployes and the special drawing card
was the appearance of Evalyn
Tyner, pianist, as soloist.
DR.. Kinder gave no evidence Of
not feeling well in the manner in
which he conducted Brahms
Academic Festival Overture, !"
Tschaikowsky's tone poem, Romeo
and Juliet" and LISTS Hungarian
Fantasy" in which Miss Tyner was
soloist. These numbers went with
the same vigor and attention to
detail as formerly, the conductor
sensing the full drama Of the tone
poem and recreating it with every
nuance at his command.
Miss Tyner's performance of the
Fantasy" was a brilliant one, her
crisp, sparkling technique and ma
tive fire finding its best expression
in this stirring work. She is vir-
tuosa of the first rank and SEN
sitive musician as well whose
rhythmic security goes hand in hand
with a nicely balanced feeling for
dynamics. The Fantasy" contained

sentiment and abandon in the DASH
ing execution Miss Tyner gave it.
In the second part of the pro-
gram, her own inimitable artistry
was exhibited in the selections from
Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess," which
she joined together with technical
pyrotechnics, and a medley arranged
of Cole Porter's Night and Day"
and Begin the Beguine" In her
speciality of brilliant effects, these
works were the hit of the program
and the artist was given an ovation
after her performance. Gifted in
both technical and interpretive
ability, Miss Tyner is pianist who
brings glamorous personality and
protective powers to her other ac-
complishments
Mr.. Garcia, who besides occupy
ing a chair in the violin section
has conducted the orchestra many
times before, distinguished himself

their tribute by remaining seated
when called upon by the conductor
to share the acclaim he received.
Their cooperation resulted in a
fine performance under his inspired
leadership.

eral employees, concluded with the
