WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NNPA)
- Hopes Of proponents for peace
tirne draft in the form Of COM
pulsory military training were dash
ed last week by Pres. Truman. He
told his first peacetime news con-
ference that he will have later o
recommendation on universal mill
tary training, but emphasized that
he did not mean CONSUMPTION. He
said he would take the matter up
at a special press conference.
It is believed the plan the Presi-
dent has in mind would be tied up
closely with an expanded National
Guard and the Reserve Corps
Strong opposition to compulsory
training was growing so rapidly,
it's advocates were about ready to
admit the cause WIS lost-all except
the Army. The Army was determin-
ed to have compulsory plan. u. ;.
Negroes have been opposed to
compulsory training unless all YES.
tiges of segregation were eliminated
in the selection, training, housing,
assignment, ETC., of inductees. The
matter of segregation is now under
study by the War Department
based solely on military expediency
and not on whether it is morally
right or wrong.

WASHINGTON-( N S)-Speci-
fic recommendations to Congress
which may extend Social Security
protection to hundreds OF thouS-
ands of Negroes not now covered by
| the legislation were promised by
| President Truman in statement On
the tenth anniversary OF the Social
Security Act, August IA.
Extolling the progress made I'M
der the legislation, by which 49,
100000 workers are insured for old
age annunities and monthly bene-
fits to their wives and dependents
and by which 100000 workers are
provided against wage loss due to
involuntary unemployment. Presi-
dent Truman said:
LONG WAY TO GO
But while we have made pro-
gress We still have a long way to
go before we can truthfully say
that our social security system fur
nished the people of this country
adequate protection. Therefore we
should lose no time in making our
social security act a more perfect
instrument for the maintenance Of
economic security throughout the
country.
Il expect to present to the Con-
gress specific recommendations look
ing toward this objective.
"A sound system of social security
requires careful consideration and
preparation. Social security worthy
of the name is not dole or a de-
vice for giving everybody something
for nothing. True social security
must consist Of rights which are
earned rights-guaranteed by the
law of the land Only that kind of
social security is worthy of the men
and women who have fought and
are now fighting to preserve the
heritage and the future of Ameri-
ca"

WASHINGTON-(ANP)- A dele

his support in behalf of William H.
HASTE to fill one of three vacan-

HUMAN BROTHERHOOD
DR.. F. D. Patterson, president Of
Tuskegee Institute, said:
ct is hoped that the suffering
sacrifices and bloodshed incident to
the war, both on the battlefronts
and at home, have induced SOL
emn and enduring understanding
and appreciation of the indepen-
dence of people and nations. The
end of the war then will introduce
an era of human brotherhood in
which intolerance and hate can not
survive"
The whole world should thank
God because this war is over, re-
marked Bishop John w Martin, of
the AME Zion church here. But if
we are to hope for a better tomor-
row, we must fight on to see that
the benefits of democracy shall be
meted out to all men without re-
gard to race, creed or color And if
we are to have a lasting peace, it
must have justice for a sure foun-
dation."

of their custer, as well as sal
airy compensation, have been
granted them.
Those who were practicing
professions had their rights and
privileges restored Immediately.
Some of them have been able to
resume almost at the point where
they were forced to leave Off.
Others have been unable to do so
for a variety of reasons, not the
least important of which being
their inability to reposseSs their
old offices and chambers. For
most of those in commerce and
industry, however. there is a long
hard period ahead.
For the Jewish immigrants, lib
Grafton has meant release from
fear of sudden cruel death, and
not a very great deal more. They
are considered foreigners in a
country incredibly crippled by
scientific looting and the destruc-
ton of battle, a country suffer-
ing from a long-lasting economic
crisis, a country unable to pro-
vide millions of it's inhabitants
with food, shelter and clothing
and almost without the means of
setting its own reconstruction in
progress. It is, furthermore, a
country on which four years OF
most intensive Nazi propaganda
has made an impression that will
not be erased for decades to
come.

Approximately half of the Jew

of the remaining half is COM

President William Green, on
emerging from the parley, said
he had recommended that a man
familiar with the problems of
labor and chosen from labor S
ranks be appointed the secre-
tary if Miss Perkins insists upon
retiring. The AFL is known to
favor President Daniel j. Tobin

labor, for the job, while the CIO
so far has been silent on the
question.
Meanwhile, in her annual re-

support of the war effort.
Among many recommenda-
