TOO LATE TO KEEP
NEGROES I'm THEIR
PLACES" EMBREE WARNS

CHICAGO, May Is (ANP)-"It
is too late ever again to keep Ne
groes in their places. >"
Edwin R. Embree, president of
the julius Rosenwald foundation
and a national authority on race re-
lations, makes that warning in his
articles, Balance Sheet in Race Re-
lations," appearing in the May is
sue of the Atlantic Monthly.
Under the heading Of debts and
credits, Embree gives a two-sided
picture of race relations in Amer
lea as it affects all of the American
people, including the majority
group and the minorities. He tells
how the Japanese-American, the
Mexican, the Jews, Catholics and
other minority groups must endure
discrimination either because of

their race or religion as well as the
Negro. Tom Y. Chan, a respected
Chinese citizen here, was refused
burial by the side of his wife be-
cause the cemetery now accepts only
white" bodies, he said.
On the credit side, he points to
the gains that have been made in
pushing democracy for all, and re-
views the great strides Negroes
have made in the armed forces. A
million Negroes-practically all the
young men of the group between 18
and 30-have been given an educa-
ton far beyond any school or COL
lege, Embree declared. These men,
he said, will never again fit into the
serfdom of southern feudalism or
into second-class status in northern
industrial cities.
1T is too late ever again to keep
Negroes in their Places he said.
If we wanted that, we should never
have drawn them into war produc-
tion or called them to the tremen-
dous education of the armed forces"

Democratic nomination for the
house of delegates.
Rev. Ball is given an outside
chance to win the nomination.
There are $4,000 registered voters
in Richmond. In the presidential
election last fall, however, less than
$4,000 voted. There has been more
activity among Negro voters in pay
ing up the back three years poll
tax, as required by law and regis
tering, than has been true for years.
Of the 500 people who qualified to
vote during the past three weeks,
fully 80 percent of them have been
Negroes. The Richmond League of
Women Voters and number Of 9TH
er white civic organizations are be-
ginning campaigns to get the 100000
adults who are delinquent in their
poll taxes to register.

food produced in France TO give
her population an adequate
healthy diet. The French will
need TO import meat and fats
in any case. But by and large
rance viii herself produce
enough food for everyone, if the
food can be transported from the
! farms TO the cities.
Even now, weeks before the
harvest, there are food SURPRISES
in certain agricultural areas of
France. The problem is that
there isn't enough rolling stock
- rail or highway to move
these stocks to the big metro
politan areas.
SUGAR CROP LOST
Experts say, for example, that
over 100000 tons Of sugar
beets we're lost last year because
there wasn't the transport 10 get
them TO the mills and to the city
consumers. Yet decent sugar is
all but unknown in Paris, Mar
settles, Lyon, Toulouse and the
other major French cities.
In Normandy, only an hour S
automobile drive from Paris, you
can eat more butter in day
than you d get here in the States
for your months total of red
points. Yet in Paris there hasn't
been any butter obtainable on
the white" market for the past
six months. On the black market
butter comes to something over
$40 pound.
The French themselves are
acutely aware that a large por-
ton of their food problem stems
directly from a transport short
age. Many Frenchmen cannot
understand why the Ministry Of
Food hasn't requisitioned the
trucks now in use--and forced
their owners to use them a cou-
pie Of days week for the trans
portation OF food to the big ur-
ban areas.
The Ministry's official explain
alton runs something like this.
A truck owner hasn't been able
70 get new tires, new parts. or a
new truck since 1899 He fig
ures that he has left perhaps
5000 driving miles. He knows

fore he can buy a new truck.
So if the government tried TO
requiSition his truck, he'd take
a wheel off and deadline it. He'd
figure that II was better not to
drive at all for six months or
so than to use up $500 of his
remaining 5000 miles for gov
ernmental purposes. And so the
Minister hasn't been trying to
requisition trucks.
OF course, what the French do
want is some transport from the
Americans and British - es-
pecially the British. The reason
for their preference is that the
/ British trucks by and large are
less powerful than the Ameri-
can, and therefore don't require
as much gasoline. Gasoline is

French need badlyN
But they would settle for

They think that there ought to

us to ship new equipment to the

coud get decent amount Of
transport, they wouldn't need to
i'm port anywhere near the
amount of food from the States
for which they're now asking.
LACK MEAT AND FATS
II would be completely false
10 say that transport alone will
solve the French food problem.
There isn't enoug h food in
France TO give her population an
adequate diet, even though the
American Army has been scru-
pulously careful not to buy on
the French market. On the 9TH
or hand there is considerable
feeling that VIC might perhaps
do some swapping with the
French. Most CTS would gladly
swap part Of their meat and but
ter rations for some fresh fruits
and vegetables - Of which they
get almost none. The French
would be tickled 10 make the
swap, for they lack meats and
fats.
Meat and fat deficiencies will,
of course. remain in France re-
gardless Of how much transport
we sell the French or how much
swapping Of meat for vege-
tables we do. But 10 a large ex-
tent we do have a choice. Amer

Coroner Instructed
On Jurisdiction in
Deaths at Airport

The District Commissioners to.
day told Coroner A. Magruder Mac.
Donald that while legislation to set.
tie the District Virginia boundary
Is pending, the coroner's office
should take jurisdiction in deaths
on the ground included in the Ma
tional Airport.
The Commissioners said that II
a person dies on the high ground
of the airport or in the administra-
ton building, which is in all prob
ability within the State of Vir-
ginia," Virginia authorities should
respond. The Commissioners said
they believed the lower ground OF
the airport was clearly within the
District.
The letter was sent to DR.. Mac
Donald, the Commissioners said,
because they understood that
neither the District coroners Office
nor Virginia authorities responded
when a person died on a plane re-
Gently. The Commissioners said it
was their information that the body
was ultimately taken to Emergency
Hospital.
The Commissioners said 1t was
improper that body be permitted
to remain without attention from
either of the two authorities in
volved." The Commissioners re-
quested the District coroners Office
to respond promptly in the event
of death at the airport "if the
description of the location of the
body is such as to indicate that it
is on the filled ground"
The Commissioners said a copy
of the letter to the coroner had
been sent to Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Virginia who has been
consulted informally about the in
cident and who has been requested
to take the matter up with Vir-
ginia authorities about attending
to deaths on the high ground of the
airport.

Representative johnson, Demo-

leave Congress to become a member
of the Cuctoms Court in New York
City until late summer or early fall.
The Customs Court is not sched-
uled to convene again until October
and Mr.. Johnson says he has con-
siderable unfinished business here.
He previously had said he would
not resign until the Interior Depart
ment appropriations bill had passed
both houses and had been signed by
the President. The bill was placed
before the House yesterday.
Mr.. Johnson, who is chairman of
the Interior Appropriations Sub
committee, said, 1--WE recommended a
cut of $39, 100000 under budget esti-
mates for the Interior Department
by far the deepest cut ever given
that department" and added:
secretary Ickes will scream to
high heaven that we have ruined
his department. But I contend that
he inflated his requests. 1t is not a
personal matter with me, but just
one of telling department that it
must live within its revenue"

Truman and Tydings
Discuss Philippines

President Truman is anxious to
see the Philippines get their inde-
pendence as soon as possible, Sena-
tor Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland
said today after a White House
call today.
The law provides that full inde-
pendence will be granted the Com
monwealth by July 4, 1916. or ear
lier if feasible. Senator Tydings said
he and the President were working
on some matters which ought to
help revive the economic life of the
Philippines as fast as the military
situation will permit"
Asked If he thought the late Pres
ident Roosevelt's hopes for estab-
lishment of independence of the
islands this fall might be realized,
the Maryland Senator said that was
possible, but he added there were
conditions there that must be cor
rected He pointed out that the
occupation by the japanese had re-
suited in loss of trade, revenues and
shipping and that civil government
still must be restored in some places
The thing to be worked for is to
make the independence a success,
Senator Tydings. said.
Senator Tydings, who is co-author
of the Philippines Independence Act,
disclosed yesterday that he prob
ably would visit the Philippines
soon.
After slackening off on his calling
list yesterday, President Truman
got back into stride today and ar
ranged schedule so heavy that
he started receiving his visitors at
9:15 am. instead of the usual hour

A select group OF House members
and their wives sat down to a ''fox-
hole luncheon" today in the House
restaurant to partake Of such deli
cacies as G and K rations, served
fresh out of the can.
The repast was arranged by the
War Department at the request of
Representative Snyder, Republican,
of Pennsylvania, chairman of q
House Appropriations Subcommit-
tee, who thought his colleagues
ought to get taste of the chow
their appropriations were buying for
the boys on the fighting fronts.
Even though the 40 odd guests
ate the same food as the front-line
fighters, there were certain slight
refinements. Any possible resem-
blance between the cozy House res
taurant and a muddy foxhole was
scarcely noticeable. And the serv-
ice provided by a squad of WACS,
who opened the cans and heated
apd served the food bore practically
no relation to actual combat con-
ditions.
Before the guests sat down TO
lunch, they had q chance to examine
