War Production In 1914, report
of the chairman of the War Pro-
duction Board, published June.
l945, was handed to me few
days ago by the Editor. seized
upon the publication with but
one idea in mind-"Now I'm 60
ing to find out what the Negro
has contributed to OUR war eff
fort"
When you don't have much
time to spend on a book, you first
consult the table of contents,
which usually is placed in the
front of the book. Next you look
for the topic you want in the al
phabetically arranged index
which usually stands in the back.
The table of contents did not have
the word Negro" in it anywhere.
Neither did it have the word col
ored, or Afro-American, or any
other plain or fancy term by
which you might identify the
Brown Tenth of the Nation.
Failing to finy anything about
"us" in the table of contents or
the index, | patiently wen thro-
ugh the l27 pages Of main discus
sion and IL pages of appendix.
Nothing doing. | couldn't find
any mention of the Sons of Ham!
OF course, it is true that did
not read this report as carefully
as | might | just went through
it as well as | could in an hour.
But if there was anything in
there about the War Production
Effort of the Negro in 1914, it
was SO carefully hidden that it
would take better reader than
am to find il in the course of
an hour,
| had to visit one of the fastest
and most careful readers of the
city; SO | handed the report to
him, but he handed it back with
the statement that if it had any
thing, it was not SO placed that
it could be readily found.
We have heard that there were
at least million Negroes engaged
in the War Production Effort OF
1914. We would have been sc
proud to have this or whatever
was the number noted in this
official report. We would like
to have our part in the nationa
effort SO displayed that we car
find it without difficulty, turn Il
it with ease, and display il will
pride, proving to friends and enc
mics in or out of season that WI
have done our part.

Neqro Workers al P. B. Arsenal
Establish Outstanding Record

AT an impressive ceremony in
the Ineendiary Bomb Filling
Branch of Pine Bluff CWS Arse
nal, Mayor Emmett Sanders of
Pine Bluff presented personnel of
"a Group, Section |, with Safe
~ Plaque for their outstanding
safety record in munitions pro-
duetion, The "a" Group, which
consists almost entirely of Negro
personnel from Pine Bluff and
vicinity, amassed a total of over
a million manEours of operation
without a single lost time acct
dent. When its Swing shift"
completed the days work last
Saturday, the employees had to-
tailed l,00l,752 manhours of safe
operation. No lost time accident
has occurred among the "A"
Group workers since September,
1914, The safety record, it was
said, is among the highest in the
country, and is particularly out
standing considering the type
of work accomplished at the Ar
senal.
J. P. Harrison, "a Group sup
erintendent, acted as Master Of
Ceremonies and introduced Colo
mel {. J. Overmyer, temporarily
in command of the Arsenal, who
lauded the workers for their
safety achievement.
you people are to be distinct
~ congratulated for such a rec
ord, Colonel Overmyer said.
"Your work is Of continuing i'm
portanee to the war effort" The
optimism, saying that top Army
authorities agree that the war
may we'll go to next summer and
possibly the end Of 1916. He
stated that production schedules
at Pine Bluff Arsenal had been
increased by about so per cent
for the current year and the first
part of 1916. Colonel Overmyer
hit home when he declared that
a six-day work week at the Arse
nal could furnish the Air Forces
with enough munitions for only a
single raid over the Japanese
homeland.
I'VE are shipping munitions
out of the Arsenal as fast as we
can make Them he said. The
Colonel praised the employees
for their "enviable safety record,
but warned that men and women
must stick to their jobs and keep
producing until Japan is knocked
out. .....
Mayor Sanders paid tribute to
the "A Group employees whose
outstanding safety record means
a high production record, He
spoke of the tonnage of CWS fire
bombs being dropped on Japan
ese war centers, mentioning the
fact that a considerable portion
came from Pine Bluff Arsenal.
The "a" Group at the Arsenal,
whose lines are manned by Negro
war workers, is part of Section |,
Production Division, whose three
combined shifts recently amassed
a total of over million and a
half manhours Of safe operation
for an all-time high in safety
records at the Arsenal.

Churchill's Address
Appears To Hint OF
Russo-Japanese War

LONDON, F e b. 81 Up -
Prime Minister Churchill ap-
peared to hint in mis- Commons
address today that Russia
might line up with the Western
Allies in the Pacific war but
his office said tonight that his
notes showed that ne intended
to leave the question open.
A semi-official text of the
speech quoted the Prime Min
lister as saying that the San
Francisco world security con-
ference would bring together
all United Nations who had
declared war on Germany and
Japan before March l. Since
Russia is to be at the confer
ence, this caused speculation
on Russias probable role in
the Pacific conflict. A check
with Commons press gallery ste
nographers supported the view
that Churchill had used the
word "and".
Much later, however, a
spokesman for the Prime Min
listers office said examination
of Churchill's notes disGlosed
that he definitely intended to
say Germany or Japan" in re-
ferring to the war declarations.
