TOKYO - There was a mere

and myself were unwittingly repre-

men who for the most part have
helped carve out this triumph with
Drawn and sinew rather than bull

They would like to have btesi

when with measured elaboration
he ordered General Eichelberger to
"have our country'S flag unfurled IN
Tokyo's sun. Let It wave in its full
glory as symbol of hope for the
oppressed and as harbinger Of
victory for the right"
END OF ROAD
The raising OF that flag marked
the end of the road for our victor

an otherwise flagless city some two
thousand Negro service troops, van

They saw oppression before their

WASHINGTON, = IS N 81 -
President Truman made an urgent
plea for enactment of legislation
for permanent FEPC in his 1900
word message to Congress today.
The FEPC was one of the 81 points
covered in the message filled with
recommendations for congressional
action.
The President indicated that he is
continuing the present FEPC dur
ing the transition and reconversion
period. Set up as a war time agency
many fears had been expressed that
the FEPC was on It's last legs fol-
lowing victory over Japan.
Mr.. Truman recalled that during
the years of war production we
made substantial progress in over
coming many of the prejudices
which had resulted in discrimina-
tons against minority groups. He
said many of the injustices based
upon considerations of race, reli-
gion and color were removed. Many
were prevented he declared" Per-

Future For
Women Workers
Appears Gloomy
Northwest Coast
Seems Hardest Hit
Area OF Nation

CHICAGO-(A N P)- Large
numbers of Negro war workers
have been trapped by the sudden
reconversion cutbacks in Louis
lana, Delaware and Oregon, ac-
cording to War Manpower com
mission reports from these areas.
VI day cutbacks have thus
far affected workers in the New
Orleans area slightly, said H. T.
Underwood, VINO director, who
predicts a bright future for Ne
gro workers in Louisiana. OPP
portunities for employment of
Negroes during the postwar per-
iod are not expected to change
considerably from figures given
for 1910, he said.
During that year, 27.7 per
cent of the total number of work
ers in this area were Negroes as
compared with the fact that they
constituted 20 per cent of the
fetal population. He revealed
that "about 1000 Negro workers
will lose their wartime jobs by
Oct. ID with Approximately
1000 more in the following 80
days"
SUGGESTS PURSUITS
Negroes will find future en-
ployment as common laborerS,
longshoremen, truck drivers,
carpenters, brick mas n S,
cement finishers, fathers, paint
ers, reinforced tiers and domes-
tic work for females, he added.
Future employment opportunities
for Negro female white collar
workers appear gloom. Most OF
the Negro war workers were
employed in ordnance, aircraft or
shipbuilding and repair, he said.
Negro war workers in Della
ware nave been hit by the senior
ity rule, said Benjamin Ableman,
VINO state director, at Whining
ton. All of the plants have had
to reduce their personnel stats,
he stated, but admitted that no
data is available on vi day lay
offs of Negroes.
