CONGRESSMAN FOR
ANTl-p0LL TAX SCREENS

MERIDIAN, Miss, July 19
(ANP).-A former Yankee, Mrs.
Besse McClain Banks, a resident
here but native of Ohio, revealed
that she has been thoroughly in
doctrinated by her adopted southern
environment. She believes in the poll
tax as well as in Dixie race theories.
Revelation of the white woman's
stand was made here when she
criticized a radio speech by Rep.
George H. Bender (Rep., Ohio) in
which he assailed the poll tax. She
wrote Bender to ''leave the poll tax
and other state problems, right
where they belong, in their own
backyards."
Mrs. Banks, who has been here
about 20 years, added:
"You did state that this tax goes
into the state school fund, but per-
nit me to add that the Negroes pay
very small share of taxes and yet
they receive full pro rata benefits
from the school funds.
Really, Mr.. Bender, these Miss
issippi folks know how to handle
their own affairs and that includes
the Negro population.
She also informed the congress-
man from her native state that "any
intelligent person here is only too
glad to dig up So to vote and con-
siders it a privilege to do so. Any
intelligent aspirant to office would
not or should not want to vote Of
the class of folks who will or cannot
pay the tax"

FEpC Meets TO
DETERMINE ACTION
IN PENDING CASES

WASHINGTON, July 10 (ANP).
Members of the Fair Employment
Practice committee will meet here
Saturday to review the work of the
agency in light of the sharply re-
duced budget for the 1916 fiscal
year, and determine action to be
taken with number of cases now
in various stages Of completion, it is
learned.
FEPC will operate on $250,O00.
Last years allowance was a half
million dollars, and the budget bu-
reau had recommended $599,000.
Substantial reductions in staff and
operations are already in sight.
Among the cases awaiting deci-
sion or announcement of decisions
is that against the Capital Transit
company of Washington. Public
hearings were held here last De-
cember after two years of negotia-
tions. 1t is reported that during the
early period of discussions on the
FEPC budget, Chairman Malcolm
Ross was talking with other govern
ment agencies about procedures for
bringing the traction company into
line.
Western Cartridge of East Alton,
ILL.,, is hanging fire as is the Key
system, transit case, in San Fran
cisco. Recent hearings against ten
trucking companies and the team
sters union in Detroit is nearing set
tlement, and the six cases heard in
Cincinnati similarly.
FEPC is also weighing findings
in the case against the Seafarers'
international union of New York
and the Texas and New Orleans R.
R. case of Houston.

DEPICTS ATROCITIES

CHICAGO, July 19 (ANP).-A
native Georgian, Mrs. Millicent
Dobbs Jordan, has portrayed in
dramatic, fast moving, realistic
story, what colored America has
been thinking for long time. This
gripping story, "Aunt Avery Med
itates," appearing in the August is
sue of New Vistas magazine, re-
veals the close similarity between
the atrocities of the Germans in the
present war and the atrocities that
take place in certain parts of Amer
ica. Aunt Avery symbolizes in a
vivid manner, the past of the Negro
in the south and the hope for the
future of Americas black millions.

PHILAD ELPHIA, July 10
(ANP).-In a letter directed to
Alexander j. Stoddard, superintend-
ent of schools in Philadelphia, the
NAACP lauded those responsible
for the recent appointment of DR..
James H. Duckery to the principal
ship of the Sultzberger Junior High
school.
The letter, signed by Carolyn D.
Moore, executive secretary of the
local branch of the NAACP, states
that it is believed that this appoint
ment will prove to Philadelphia and
to America that this city can be just
and fair.
The letter further pointed out
that Sulzberger is located in one
of the most serious tension areas"
in Philadelphia, and it is hoped that
the new appointment will help rem
edy the Illustration that is now
prevalent there.

WASHINGTON, July 10 (ANP).
The government has nolle pressed
the case against white police Off
Ger who had killed a Negro soldier
on July 3, 1943, it is learned.

court in the famous Screws case

NEGRO EYES ARE ON
Meeting OF big g.
BY Ernest E. Johnson

Dy iCot LIE oOAllloOIl
WASHINGTON, July 19 (ANP).
Although a heavy agenda is be-
for the "Big Three" meeting at
PQtsdanas- Germany, little directly
concerns Negroes so much as win
ming the victory over Japan quickly
and the groundwork that is to be laid
for the world peace conference.
The end of the war in the east
will bring with it the return of
thousands of Negro soldiers who
have been in that area of opera
tions since the first shipment of
American soldiers overseas follow
ing Pearl Harbor. Few have had
glimpse of home since.
The tangled problems of a cha
otic Europe will doubtless influence
the course of future events in the
world, but the intimate contact with
these problems, through ancestry
or otherwise, is not such to excite
many Negroes beyond the intellec-
tual point.
On the other hand, what happens
at the peace conference will come
closer to the Negroes sphere of in
terest than anything else on the
world scene today. limitations are
that conference in London in the
fall may ensue, but it will be up to
President Truman, Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain to
give validity to this report.

he wrote. 81 wish to take this op-
portunity to officially welcome you
as an active member in our order
and / am sure you will enjoy our
membership"
On July 7, he received letter
from Dove.
When / saw your application
with name and address," Dove
wrote, 81 felt sure that you were
colored vet and therefore not ELI
gible to membership in the Mt. Yer
non chapter, because it was thought
best not to try to mix white and col
ored P. H. veterans in the same
outfit"
He explained MOPH policy as
"to have separate chapters, one for
white and one for colored. In other
words, colored holders of the Purple
Heart medal should organize
chapter of their own within the
MOPH organization"
Pvt. Dinkins was advised to con-
tact some other colored men who
would be interested in organizing
chapter Of their own in this area
but he contacted the NAACP in
stead.
Leslie Speery, head of the local
NAACP office, noted that Doves
organization used the word spa
triot" and pointed out the irony of
it's use in letter to the Mt. Vernon
chapter. Dinkins was wounded in
fighting for all Americans, Speery
said.
"Any suggestion, therefore, that
as candidate for membership in
the Military Order of the Purple
Heart he must first organize an
all-Negro chapter must strike him
and others wounded on the battle
field as the epitomey of irony"

WASHINGTON, July 10 (ANP).
"A wounded Negro here has been
officially .jim-crowed by the Mt.
Vernon chapter of the Military Or
der of the Purple Heart.
Pvt. Samuel H. Dinkins, a for
mer member Of the U. S. Army
transportation corps and veteran
of the battle of Leyte, was informed
by Maj. Wilbur E. Dove, adjutant
of the Mt. Vernon chapter, that he
could not join that chapter Of the
Military Order of the Purple Heart
because he is a Negro.
Pvt. Dinkins, who was wounded
in the battle of Leyte, Philippine
Islands, was awarded the Order of
the Purple Heart and was dis
charged from the army on March
3 with a 70 per cent nervous-dis-
ability rating for purposes of pen
sion. He decided to join the MOPH
after talking to an employe Of the
Veterans administration.
The employe, George Holland,
made all arrangements for Pvt
Dinkins to join. The veteran filled
out his application blank a few
days later and forwarded to the
MOPH's national office his SIS
membership fees. On June IL, he
received a reply from William B
Eaton, national adjutant, with ref
erences to Maj. Dove, head of the
Mt. Vernon chapter.

This shortcoming has once again
underlined the need for national
legislation to protect persons in the
uniform of the United States.
The department of justice had
filed an information on Oct. 9, 1914,
against Bohannon who shot Davis
without provocation while "acting
under the color of law" The incl
dent occurred at Negro roadhouse
on the outskirts of Summit to which
the police officer had been called to
restore order.
The federal government had tax
en- jurisdiction because the slain
man was deprived Of his life with
out due process of law. The action
was one Of those authorized by Tom
G. Clark, attorney general, who at
the same time was in charge of the
criminal division.

conference. The outlines of an agen-
da will doubtless be agreed upon.
At such conference two things
will stand in bold relief insofar as
Negroes are concerned: First, i'm
fermentation Of the San Francisco
charter and the sections dealing
with human rights; second, DISPOSE
tion Of territories taken or to be
taken from the conquered nations.
In this respect, only Italy and ia
pan are affected since Germany
lost all of it's overseas territories
during the first world war.
The questions of territory will re-
volve about the claims of Ethiopia
for annexation of the former Ital-
ian colony of Eritrea; the relin-
gushing of control of mandates by
the suzerian powers to the new
trusteeship council established un-
der the United Nations charter; and
the definition of strategic bases''
as they apply to newly gained ter
ritories.
That the matter of Italian colo
nies is growing in Importance is
evidenced by two things: The armis-
tice with Italy has never been dis
closed. Lastly, there is a growing
feeling among some elements both
in America and Great Britain for
the recognition Of Italy as men,
Der of the United Nations.
On Feb. s, Acting Sec'y Of State
Joseph C. Grew had his attention
drawn to reports concerning dis
position of Italian territories as set
forth allegedly in the surrender
terms. In answer he referred to a
statement of Prime Minister
Churchill in which the latter said
that "there is no reference to the
future status of Italy's frontiers or
to the disposition of colonies" Grew
himself added that "the surrender
instrument does not contain any
provisions with respect to future
settlements.
Anthony Eden, British foreign
secretary, has said on a number OF
occasions that the claims of Ethio
pia against Italy must await gen
eral peace conference.
Such a conference will be con.
fronted also with the insistence Of
Marshal Jan SHUTS that the Unior
of South Africa be permitted to an
mex the inundated territory Of
Southwest Africa. Doubtless, Brit
ain may have a similar disposition
with regard to mandates which il
too holds, although his majesty's
government may prefer to label GER
tain of these areas as strategic.
The United States has already sale
that it intends to make that claim
against japanese held mandates.

YUG05LAv5 ANGRY
AT ALLIES; TITO
Says, mo ARMS

LONDON, May 28-The contro-
verSy over the Austrian province
of Carinthia threatened to flame
anew today, famed by statement
attributed to Marshal Tito of
Yugoslavia by the Belgrade radio,
which complained bitterly of the
treatment accorded "our nationals"
Tito was quoted as saying in a
speech at Ljubljana last night that
ut would be a terrible tragedy if
we should have to fight again for
what we have already won in this
war"
According to the Belgrade version
of the speech to the Slovene
people, Tito called upon the Allies
to protect Yugoslav nationals from
those same oppressors who have
prosecuted them for centuries"
There was no indication in
London, m anw While, that final
settlement had been reached in the
Trieste Istria impasse, although the
Belgrade radio said Tito had re-
iterated pledge he would not re-
sort to arms.

SHOW Business
ISMU5ICAL TREAT
NOW AT CAPITOL

A real musical screen treat is
SHOW Business" now seen at the
Capitol with Eddie Cantor, George
Murphy Joan Davis, Nancy Kelly
and Constance Moore in the star
ring roles.
Marking the versatile Cantor's de-
but as film producer, the offer
ing tells in gay fashion the story
of little group OF theatrical folk
in the hey-day of the state. Cantor
is an East Side youngster who makes
his debut at a Bowery theatre on
Amateur Night, is befriended by
Murphy, a successful burlesque ac-
tor, and teams with him in a vaude-
vile duo. This turns into a quar-
tette when they join forces with
Joan Davis and Constance Moore.
The romance between Murphy
and Miss Moore, complicated by the
jealousy of Nancy Kelly, rival ac-
treSs, and the comedy romance of
Cantor and Miss Davis, motivate
much of the subsequent action. Col
orful glimpSes of scenes from var
ious shows in which the foursome
take part, and a flock of old-time
song hits such as "Dinah" and 1T
Had To Be You" alternate with
the development of the story, to lend
the picture a compelling charm.
Cantor gives a splendid portrayal
of the ingenious young actor, and
Murphy has one of his best roles
todate as his pal. The three femin-
inc principals turn in grand per-
formances. Don Douglas is import
antly cast as theatrical agent.
