BEING A A PAYS

1T is NOT q question Of what
you could do against absolutely
perfect play by your opponents.
Winning or losing play in bridge
depends or your moves against
the action actually taken by the
other side. In other words. the
thing to do is to be a realist, and
face the facts that r really pre-
scnted for you to consider. Taking
fullest advantage Of the other fell
lows slips is just as important as
avoiding them yourself-and
sometimes much more so.

SYNOPSIS

Eleonore Lawrence. Air Raid
Defense Center worker in Sweets
burg-a town humming with war
industry and runors of saboteurs
has been the recipient of spy ex-
pose books, and wonders who the
anonymous sender is. She secretly
hopes it might be William Steuben,
afriend of her brother Arthur. who
had visited the Lawrences months
ago. but from whom she had heard
nothing since. One of the air raid
officials showed distinguished look
ing B. Stead Jones how the Center
operates. The Lawrence household,
located on the lonely outskirts of
town, consists Of Grandma" Law
renee; Sukey. Eleonore's small sis
ter, and Mamie, maid of all work.
E!eoncrc's brothers, Arthur and
Eben, are in the Navy and Coast
Guard respectively. Eleonore
learned from Fannie Edgerly, real
estate agent, that the adjoining
Wolfe estate has been leased BY
B. Stead Jones. She is visited by
John Sabriski. member of Amer
ica's Counter Intelligence Corps,
who enlists her aid, much to Grand
mas alarm.
CHAPTER FOUR
Sabriski explained that n of
the C.I.C. agents was living with a
group of aliens not far away and
that he might be hard put to get

many, would be a poor place in
which to leave a C.I.C. report.
Her mind jumped ahead of him:
Eleonorc thought of Hickory, a tiny
settlement of workers one-story
houses, a mile down the lane leading
off November Road. A couple of
men from Connecticut had bought
an abandoned paper mill there and
were using it to reclaim rubber
from old tires. The smell was I'M

corner in something approaching
an approving smile. You could

TOM CLARK STOPPED
Law GROUP jim CROW

WASHINGTON, July 2. (ANP)
The story of how the refusal of
the Federal Bar Association to ad-
nit Negroes was overcome during
the term of Tom C. Clark, now at
torney general, as president was re-
vealed here.
Repeated applications to member
ship had been made over period of
three years by Louis Mollinger, an
employe in the claims divisions of
the office Of the attorney general
Each time they were turned down
by both the executive council and it's
admissions committee.
Clark learned of the matter and
Immediately lnterceded by having
Mollinger file a new application.
The admissions committee this time
voted 2 to l to admit but this was
not sufficient, and in the absence
of unanimous vote by this commit
tee, three-fourths vote by the
higher executive council must he in
favor.
When Clark put the vote before
the council the three-fourths vote
was acquired, thanks to the large
number of proxies which he had in
his pocket. The association is 25
years old, has 20 chapters through
out the country.

ing downgraded with accompany
ing cut in rates. While everybody
seems to favor full employment, we
are now in the period where mass
employment is beginning to set
in. The next few months will see a
sharp accentuating of this problem.
One would have to be blind not to
realize that reactionary forces are
already at work to exploit this sit
uation in order to foment race ten
sions. To prevent this, FEPC and
Labor have a special responsibility.
"Our objective in signing this
Agreement as in the carrying out
of our union work is to work in
such a way to help avoid situa-
ton where jobs and skills already
won for Negroes will be lost in the
reconversion period. If we should
fail to take concrete steps to meet
the developing situation, the result
will be whether we like it or not, a
reintroduction of discrimination in
the war plants and the industries
Of our country. We are determined
to work with all progressive groups
in Government and Industry so
that we will be able to achieve the
objectives set by National CIO that
the gains that have been achieved
must not be lost in the post war
and we must prevent anti-union
employers from taking any steps
which are designed to return to
previous conditions of discrimina-
tion and thereby reduce the gains
that war workers won.'
'In working for this objective
we are doing it not'only out Of JUS
tice to our Negro members and to
the Negro people, but also to pre-
vent spreading Of any disunity in
the ranks of labor. To us, fighting
against discrimination is strength
ening the power and effectiveness
of our union for all our members.
A successful fight against discrim-
ination will at the same time mean
greater and more united support
for the Full Employment Bill"

UNION SIGNS MUTUAL
ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT With
FEpC REGIONAL OFFICE

lkFA NkV1VIvAk VI INA
James McLeish, General Vice
President Of the United Electrical,
Radio & Machine Workers, CIO, to-
day signed an Agreement with the
Regional Directors Of the Fair En-
ployment Practice Committee of
Region Two and Region Three in
behalf of District Four of the
UERMWA, Newark, N. J.
"The Agreement" James Nc
Leish declared, "is mutual assist
ance pact between FEPC and La
Dor. It will insure the closet possi-
BILE cooperation between the FEPC
and the UERMWA so that griev-
ances and problems arising with
respect to discrimination will be
handled quickly and thoroughly for
the purpose of eliminating any and
all forms Of discriminatory en-
ployment practices in plants where
UERMWA locals or organizing
committees are in existence.
James McLeish said, eve con-
slider that the FEPC has made an
invaluable contribution to the war
effort. The existence of the FEPC
has helped integrate qualified Ne
gro workers into vital war produc-
tion work so that we achieved the
miracles of production which
counted so heavily in winning vic
tory.
eve are very much alarmed at
the latest attempts in Congress to
scuttle the FEPC and to sabotage a
permanent FEPC. This we consid-
er a serious threat to the unity of
nations so necessary to the success
full winning of the war against
Japan. We, in labor, are VIGOROUS
ly supporting the fight to maintain
and make permanent the FEPC
and to provide it with sufficient
funds to be able to operate effec-
lively for our nations welfare.
"In order to further support the
FEPC we are signing this Agree
ment to relp rally the 115, 900 men,
bers in the local unions in District
Four. In this way, not only will
the FEPC act as our agent to help
eliminate discrimination, but our
$4,000 members will act as agents
for the FEPC in ferreting out any
signs or cases of discrimination.
eve have entered into the per-
iod of reconversion since We Day.
It is precisely in this period of re-
conversion with cutbacks, layoffs
and dislocations of plants and
workers that the need for the
FEPC becomes greater even then
in the war period. There is no sense
in kidding ourselves, the Negro
workers or the American people,
layoffs are taking place, cuts in pay
are taking place, cut in hours and
earnings are becoming more fire.

SUICIDE PLANES A PROBLEM

While SO complete}a report Of our ma

/ The Admiral. who commanded the
Seventh Fleet operating in the Philippines,
says that the Japs Sbegan their mass Sui

Previously, Navy men recall seeing many
japanese planes plunge close to their ships
but it was assumed that the pilots had been
killed or had lost control of their planes
Now, it is believed that the earlier Incl
dents might have been forerunners of the
"kamikaze.
Secretary of the Navy James Forestall
says that the Japanese apparently counted

been nothing like this ratio. However, it is
reasonably certain that the suicide planes,

concentrated on lone ships, scored heavily

POSTWAR FUTURE LOCALLY

Are you among those Key Westers
who have Systematically saved money dur
ing the lush days of the last four years? If
you are, then you have been aware that the
present high wages, with corresponding
high prices, and, up to short time ago,
more jobs than people to fill them, were
not going to last forever.
Others, as.we have remarked before,
will be in practically the same condition
financially, when they lose their Jobs, as
they were when times were hard.
OF course, what the post war w efls will
bring forth in Key West none. of us knows
definitely. but we can base our opinions on
past performances, though The Citizeh be
fieve things will not be as bad Financially
this time as it was when peace came after
the first world war
A city official told The Citizen that
ne and another Key Wester, who is now
residing in Miami, leased the building. now
known as Duffys Tavern, shortly before
the beginning of the First World War, and
installed 10 pool tables on the second floor
and box ball alleys on the first floor.
1--WE sold no liquor and permitted no
gambling the official said, "yet we aver
aged an income of $500 week Armistice
Day came just before our lease ran out, and
We decided to go out of business unless we
could rent the place thereafter on month
~ basis So et .,s,t.,. -
The owner agreedte that rental, and,
TO make along story short, at the end of
four months our income from the business
dropped from $70e a week to between SIS
and $40 week. So we sold our pool tables,
some of them to the 'Elks' Club, and took.
up our box ball alleys.i'
The change this time, we believe, will
not be so decided, though the letup in bust
ness will be such that, Instead of more jobs
than available employees there will be more
employees than available jobs.
One bright prospect for the postwar
world has entered the picture, and if it be-
comes a reality, it will help immeasurably
