'black market" in tires.
The youths are known to have
named members of their gang as
statesmen" They would operate in
and around Quarryville, soliciting
''orders" for "black market tires.
Since the gang, composed of

rain townships, were petitioned into

covered nine additional tires, wheels
and tubes. One was fished out of a
creek at Quarryville and four others
were found in woods near Kirk
wood.
Four tires were identified as hav-
ing been stolen from Books garage,
Kirkwood, and another in Oxford,
but the remainder have been uniden-
titled, police said. Police also recov-
|ered mirror, chrome wheel rim,
grill guard, and set of fog lights,

One Elkton store and its manager
have been suspended from dealing
! in rationed shoes for the duration of
rationing, one store in Salisbury has
been suspended from dealing in. ra-
toned shoes for so days and another
in Cumberland for 80 days. The sus-
pensions were ordered by Clifford r..
Snider, OPA Hearing Commissioner
FOR Region No. 2, Leo H. Mccormick,
Maryland OPA Director, announced.
The suspensions involved the follow
lug:
Elkton-Allan G. Tyson Co., Inc,
Ia Remington Store, and manager
Gerald c. D'Azevedo; suspended for
the duration of ratiOning.
Salisbury-The Goodman Depart.
ment Store Company; suspended for
60 days, beginning April 80.
Cumberland-Joe Feldstein, tia
Metro Clothes; suspended for 80
days, beginning April 16.
1t was brought out at the hearings
that the Elkton store could not ac-
count for 1920 rationing skoe cou-
pons; that the one in Salisbury was
short 1928, and the one in Cumber-
land 1850; making an aggregate to-
tai of 5,505 paris of shoes.
In addition, in the sales of odd-lot
shoes, the Elkton store had released
500 pairs in excess of the authorized
release, and the one in Salisbury 1876,
which totaled 776 pairs. The grand
aggregate totals 6,279 pairs.
Hyman B. Rubenstein, OPA en-
forcement attorney, who prosecuted
the cases before Commissioner Sni-
der, also charged all three defen-
dants with failure to keep proper
records as required by the Office of
Price Administration.
Speaking of the Elkton store,
Commissioner Snider said:
"The unexplained shortage shows
that the firm had been careless and
negligent in operating its business
in that more than 80%o of its shoes
had been sold without collecting ra-
ton currency. The violation of the
firm amounted to wilful disregard
of the ration regulations. Under the
circumstances the firm should receive
no further ALLEGATIONS of rationed
shoes as long as the same remain
controlled by the ration regulations. =

Labor Backs Race Equality
Program AT San Francisco

To date, the UNCIO has failed to
act on the labor congress commit
tees demand for a voice in draw
ing up the charter Of the new
world organization. The demand
was made officially by the commit
tee from its. Oakland headquarters,
and unofficially by V. M. Molotov,
Soviet foreign minister and head
Of the Soviet delegation. Molotov
raised the question in the steering
committee, urging labor represen-
tatives be accredited as advisors of
UNCIO. But it was bitterly fought,
with the Egyptian delegate taking
the lead. Significantly, the Egyp-
tian delegation here is being ad-
vised by Emil Hurja, isolationist
and Republican party propagandist
who directed ti-Roosevelt cam
paigns in past national elections.
1t is also noteworthy that the
Egyptian delegation is leading the
fight against a solution of the
Palestine question.

SAN FRAN CISCO, May 10
(ANP)-If UNCIO accepts propo-
sails of the World Labor congress,
representing 60 million trade un-
ionists of the anti-axis countries,
Negro-America and the colonial
peoples will have another strong
champion at work on the task of
building machinery for peace and
security.
Two spokesmen for world labor
indicated at the mammoth mass
meeting here that major task of
the proposed new world labor body
would be to implement principles
of racial equality and the advance
ment of so-called backward peo-
pies.
President Philip Murray Of the
CIO told the audience of 1000 in
this city's municipal auditorium
that if the world labor congress is
accorded a voice in determining the
charter Of the new organization, it
was prepared to insist on inculca-
tion in the charter of bill of rights
aimed at destroying all kinds of
racial and religious discrimination

Great nations, Toledano said,

ing the standards of living in all
backward countries in their own
self-interest as well as in the in
terest of the dependent peoples.
''It is true that peace and free
dom are indivisible," said Tole-
dano. "But misery also is indivis-
ible."
The administrative committee of
the World Labor congress is meet
ing across the bay in Oakland to
frame the charter Of the new or
ganization. 1t is anticipated the
charter will contain a demand for
the recognition of the right of col
lective bargaining among all peo-
pies, and their freedom to join un-
ions of their own choosing. This
would apply especially to the peo-
Piles of Africa and other colonial
areas, where trade union organiza-
tion is either controlled or forbid
den.
In addition the charter will con-
tain provisions for international Ia
Dor struggle in behalf of the prin-
ciple of racial equality, and for
the self-determination of colonial
peoples. The manifesto of the con-
gress, which was promulgated from
London early this year, contained
demands of similar nature.

FREED OF CHARGES IN
NAVAL PRISON riot"

BOSTON, May 10 (ANP)-Four
Negro sailors have been freed Of
naval criminal charges which might
have cost them their lives, and two
have been convicted on charges far
less than were originally lodged
against them. The sailors were fac
ing charges for striking a sentry
and an officer.
According to attorneys Laurence
Banks and Walter j. Stevens, the
four Negro boys were among the
several hundred confined to the
naval prison at Portsmouth, N. H.
Lined up one day having their
shackles removed, the men engaged
in horse-play. A guard ordered them
to stop, and followed his order with
blow of his club. The struck man
put his arms around the guard to
avoid additional blows. The guard
dropped his club and blew the "riot'
whistle. Scores of marines rushed
in with drawn guns and singing
clubs. This continued until many
men were bleeding on the floor. The
men were then locked in their cells.
Late that night a dozen armed
marines removed the men. They
were taken to a basement room and
beaten until the skull of one of the
men was fractured. Stevens states
that three metal clamps had to be
used to hold it together, in order
that the man would not bleed to
death.
Charges were lodged against
