Nv EARNEST E. JOHNSON

WASHINGTON-(ANP)-A new
twist in the Hazel Scott-DAR con-
troversy developed Friday when
the National Press club confirmed
that the concert pianist would APP
pear professionally at its annual
dinner on Nov. -.
The disclosure brought immediate
comment from Negro newSmen
who, speaking through their own
Capital Press club, began wonder
ing out loud" whether there IS any
consistency between Miss SCOTS
acceptance Of the date and the
arguments made against the OAR.
BARRED FROM CLUB
las Negro neWsmcn covering the
Nations capital, we cannot help
but be mindful that we are barred
from membership In the National
Press club and denied the privl-
lege of Service in its dining room
or at it's bar even the statement OF
a member" read the statement OF
the executive committee OF the
Capital Press club.
The statement cited also the re-
fusal of service to former federal
Judge w. H. HASTE who in 1913 was
invited to lunch by l. F. Stcne of
PM and The Nation, and had to
sit As minutes before learning that
service would not be accorded them
because of the presence of Judge
HASTE, Negro.
THINK SIMILARLY
while the National Press club
is not directly responsible for the
unwritten closed shop provision
which bars Negro correspondents
from the senate and house press
galleries, and limit them at the
White House press conference
the statement continued, we are
quite conscious of a similarity II
thinking among these groups which
takes on definite discriminatory
pattern based upon race.
eff this is the extent of de
mocracy being practiced by the
National Press club, then We would
find some difficulty in reconcil-
ing Miss SCOTS appearance at the
dinner with the dramatic proteSta-
ton of justice often voiced by her
husband, Congressman Adam Clay
ton Powell Jr."

I" IL Makes You Proud, Says
F RANGES Wills IN Letter Home

Miss Frances Wills, travelling
with a USO camp show in the
European theater writes q thrill
ing and eye-opening letter to her
mother, Mrs. N Wills, Of Kenne-
wick. The letter was written from
somewhere in Germany nearly q
month ago. Following is the letter:
Dear Nom:
am writing this on q captured
German typewriter. Writing has
really become a task. We have
been moving so much since Eas-
ter that I have hardly had time
to write.
The other day we played an
American Prisoner of War camp.
In other words it was a hospital
that a great many American and
quite a few British boys had been
in for some time. In fact some
of the British boys had been In
since Dunkirk. The first day we
were in town we found out that
they were over there and that
there were some air force fellows
there so we went over to visit.
And of course I always look
around and ask questions about
Bill. I have been very lucky In
finding out where his camp Is and
where it has been changed from
time to time. Our army is getting
very close to where it is and 1t
everything goes well most OF the

prisoners Of war viii soon be
liberated.
Some Of the fellows almost got
hysterical when they saw US. It
was complete surprise as no one
knew that we were coming over.
Then the next day we went over
and put the whole show on and
while we were working they called
out some Of the boys names to
leave for their trip home. One
Of the British officers said that
when he saw the first American
tank roll in, the, tears rolled down
his cheeks. Unless you have seen
q convoy Of American tanks you
can't appreciate how much con-
fidence just the looks Of them
gives you. The American army's
mobile equipment is out Of this
world. It makes you proud to
realize what our country has done
in such short time.
We have lots Of fun too. Army
chow is alright but sometimes we
add to it with night lunches that
are rare. Last night one Of the
Red Cross Field Directors cap
tured a chicken out on one Of his
trips and we acquired some po-
tatoes and had fried chicken and
fried potatoes. It sure was good

Foodstuffs Are Vital
To War and Peace;
Many Women Needed

A number of women workers
are needed Immediately in local
canneries in the work of process
ing asparagus. The Walla Walla
cannery is hit hardest and has
found it necessary this week to
ship a large amount of produce
to Walla Walla for packing. Other
canneries report that they are
not facing such a serious short
age at the present time but will
need considerably more help later
in the season.
The Chamber of Commerce dis
cussed the problem at length at
the Thursday noon meeting and
will bend every effort to find the
necessary help.
It was pointed out that the
production of foodstuffS is ex-
tremely vital to the further prose-
cution of the war and in the es-
Enlistment of normal peaceful
conditions in. the war-ravaged
countries of Europe.
The chamber is appealing to
all local residents to understand
fully that in order for Kennewick
to carry its load of responsibility
in the war effort we must produce
and process every ounce Of food
possible.
Consideration was given to the
idea of bringing in outside help,
and an effort will be made to that
end. However, it was felt that
since other communities face SIM
liar labor shortages that plan may
not meet with much success.
All women in the area who can
possibly arrange their time to
take part in this vitality important
work are urged to apply at the
local canneries for employment.

Production Of Local Canneries Is
Seriously Threatened by Shortage
OF Competent Women Workers
Let's Do Our Part
Editorial)


Hostilities have ceased in Eu-
rope. A giant stride has been TAX
en- on the long road to victory.
There is much yet to be done.
The other half of the war is still
a big job. The amalgamation of
victory into lasting peace is a
tremendous responsibility upon
the allied nations.
There are millions of starved
people men, women and children
to be fed all over the world.
That is part of the picture into
which Kennewick fits.
We are producing food which
is as vital to peace as guns arc
to war. Our fertile lands are
growing huge quantities of critical
vegetables and fruits.
It is a big job, in the face of Sc
rious labor shortages, to process
and pack these foodstuffs. Work.
ing in q local cannery is not just
mental task-it is a patriotic
privilege to help Kennewick do
its utmost to win the war and
share in the peace.

turned from a stay In Argentina
He has known presidents and

in the southern areas. He keeps In
constant touch with q wide circle
of Latin American friends-writ-
ers, artists, politicians, business
men. AS founder and director fol-
eighteen years Of The Committee

leaders of American life to the

American relations IS given
against the background Of much

association with Washington.
Hubert Herring's recent books
Good Neighbors and Mexico, The
Making Of q nation, have been
among the best sellers on Latin

He is known for his tough real
ism in international affairs On
Latin America he is convinced
that the romantic sheen on much
of the current talk about hemis.

realism. He shares with otherl
who know the realities Of Latin

can take US; at the same time, he
argues persuasively for building
