EXPECT 100000
FROM NEGROES
FOR COLLEGE fund

NEW YORK, July 26 (ANP).-
Contributions to the United Negro
College fund 1945 campaign by Ne
groes in service on various battle
fronts, as we'll as Negro business
concerns, sororities, social clubs,
churches and alumni organizations
throughout the country, were cited
by Thomas A. Morgan, national
campaign chairman, and several
other fund officials as the basis for
their confidence that contributions
from Negroes this year would far
exceed the more than 100000 con-
tributed by Negroes alone last year.
This years national goal is ST.
500,000-the minimum required to
strengthen and make effective the
operations Of the 80 member pri-
vate colleges and universities in
their teaching and other services
during the next year, and also to
care for returning service men who
desire to continue their education
under the G. l. Bill Of Rights.

Senator Revertomb
Stops GI's Execution

WASHINGTON, July 26 AMP.
Sen. Chapman Revercomb (R) Of
West Virginia succeeded in getting
the War Department to stay the
execution of a Negro soldier in Eu-
rope sentenced by military court
martial to hang for murder, it is
learned.
The soldier is Pvt. Lester H.
Sweeney Of Talcott, w. Va, mar
ried and the father of three chill
dren.
The exact circumstances of the
crime are not known, but Sen. Rev.
ercomb has asked the war depart
ment for a transcript of the record.
His letter requesting the stay and
the record, directed to Undersecy.
Patterson, brought almost an i'm
mediate telephone call from Gen.
Cramer of the judge advocate gen.
erals office saying that the request
had been compiled with and that
Gen. of the Army Eisenhower had
asked to delay the execution of Pvt.
Sweeney.
The matter was brought to the
senator's attention by the victim
himself who wrote Revercomb on
May 81 saying that he had been
convicted on the basis of circum-
stantial evidence of a crime for
which he is not guilty. Revercomb
checked the soldiers background in
Talcott and, according to his Of
flee, found that "Lester has a good
record and had never had any
trouble"
On the basis of this he went
ahead with his request to Patterson.
Later on he notified ]. H. Sweeney
of Talcott, the soldiers uncle, and
pledged to do whatever he could tc
help, assuming the record supports
him.

DAYTON MALLEABLE
STRIKERS ORDERED
BACK TO WORK

The War Labor board (WLB),
yesterday ordered $50 men, idle in
a jurisdictional dispute at the Day.
ton Malleable Iron company at
Ironton, O., to end a 14-day walk
out, Associated Press reported from
Cleveland.
The board sent back-to- work tele-
grams to L. J. Gallagher, plant man.
ager at Ironton; Ike Allen, chairman
of the bargaining committee, at
Dayton, and Frank Volt, local presi-
dent of the AFL-International
moulders and foundry workers, at
Cincinnati. They requested the men
be urged to return to their jobs.
The company produces axles and
other parts for Army trucks. Pro-
duction in the Dayton plant has not
been affected, company officials
said last night, because the plants
operate as separate units.
The case was certified to the WLB
yesterday from conciliation service,
the board explained, after the CIO-
United. Steelworkers of America
attempted to secure bargaining
rights" in the plant.
The AFL-International Molders
and Foundry Workers of America
is bargaining agent for the foun-
drymen, the board said, but there
is a case pending with the National
Labor Relations board on the
matter.

FEp( Meets; PLANS
CURTAILED OPERATIONS

WASHINGTON, July 26 (ANP).
The Fair Employment Practice
Committee, with industry member
Charles Horn the only absentee, sat
in a momentous session here and
devoted it's attention to:
1. Trimming it's staff, organiza-
tion and functions so that it may
operate within the S250,000 be-
grudgingly allowed it by congress;
2. Exploring questions of author
ity, policy and possibilities of avail
ing itself of outside funds and Tor
help to maintain current efficiency
and effectiveness;
3. Giving cursory consideration
to pending cases.
Formal comment upon the COM
mittee's discussions must await a
statement which will be made this
week, Chairman Malcolm Ross said
following the meeting. "It's heart
breaking thing" he remarked in
connection with the organizational
changes which must be effected,
"and I'd rather not discuss it until
we've had a chance to notify our
people"
From various sources, however,
it has been automatically learned
that the cut in staff will be more
than half. Nearly 60 persons are
going to be dropped in almost all
job classifications, the bulk of them
being in the field. There are now
105 persons ic the agency Of which
63 are here in Washington.
The committee decided on the
offices which it shall have to close.
Civil Service regulations will gov
ern the manner in which lay-offs
will be effected, although transfers
to other agencies may be arranged
for some persons.
Problems of reorganization took
up the major portion of the COM
mittee's time, but it weighed some

OI1lCAIO, July 70 (ANF).-
Seniority and the Negro Worker"
a study of seniority problems fac
ing Negroes in the reconversion pc
riod, has just been released through
the American Council on Race Rela-
tions.
The study, prepared by Robert c.
Weaver, director of the American
Councils Community Services di-
vision, deals with seniority prob
lens in the automobile, meat pack
ing, iron and steel and other indus
tries, and attempts to explain the
various types Of seniority and their
effect on Negro workers.
We're there no union agreements,
the study asserts, hundreds of thou
sands of Negro workers would be
displaced from wartime jobs during
reconversion because "in periods of
large scale employment workers
new to an industry are usually let
out as group before employees with
longer service records"
Intense reconversion problems"
are already under way in the au-
tomotive industry, the study re-
veals, and eventually between $780,
900 and 100000 workers in the De-
troit area alone will be displaced
during reconversion, a factor Sc
riously affecting $4,000 colored
workers who, until cutbacks set in,
comprised Is per cent of the men
and women employed in the indus
try.
The study reveals that the prob
lem is further complicated by the
difference in the opinions of man.
agement and labor concerning the
hiring Of eX-servicemen.
The industry is said to demand
that seniority rules be changed to
permit the hiring of veterans "at
least on equal footing with men and
women who have entered the in
dustry since the war began"
On the other hand, the UAW and
other unions admit that servicemen
should be given job seniority, but
'this does not begin for the ex-
serviceman without previous expe-
rience in plant until he gets a job
and it does not permit a newly
hired veteran to displace a worker
who has acquired seniority through
employment in plant since Pearl
Harbor."
The study takes an optimistic
stand on union seniority in the meat
packing industry, declaring that
seniority in that particular industry
will Operate to sustain the occu-
pational gains colored workers have
made in recent years, and it will
tend to perpetuate the widespread
numerical participation of Negroes
in the industry"
The active participation of Ne.
groes in the United Packinghouse
Workers Of America (CIO) unior
is another reason given for the com.
paratively stable status of Negroes
in the packing industry.
Another CIO union, the United
Steelworkers of America, is said tt
be an important factor in determin
ing the status of Negro workers il
the iron and steel industry.
Mr.. Weaver's study points ou

ATLANTA, July 13 (ANP)-
USO Negro staffs and volunteers
were highly praised by Ray Johns,
director of operation, continental
United States, at the close of the
interracial institute, at the Wesley
Memorial church here.
"We are convinced" said Mr..
Johns, ''that our Negro ,staffs are
fully equal to the general run Of
white personnel And, even though
they've worked under trying cir
cumstances in some places, they
have-with few exceptions-done
a good USO job, giving freely of
their time and rendering competent
service"
The Director of Operations also
lauded USO's million volunteers,
white and Negro. ''They have great
ly helped" he said, ''to maintain the
morale of our fighting troops and ]
am sure they will keep plugging
away as long as there is need for
their service

The new public war housing pro-
ject, the seventh to be built in Chi

Following visit to the Service
mems Center for Negroes, Mr..
Johns spoke of the fine program
and service he observed there. "It
was gratifying" he said, ito see
how soldiers made themselves at
home. The club is a credit to USO
and the community"
At the same time, he pointed out
that there are some IS other Negro
clubs in this region-Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennes-
see and South Carolina-and more
than $500 USO facilities, white and
colored, rendering similar service in
all parts of the country.
