By BRUCE w. MUM
Tinted Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Feb. TO- CUP "A
Berlin radio commentator admit
ted today that Germany was by
no means keen" to continue the
war, while Swiss dispatches report
ed riots in the industrial city OF
Kassel, west of Berlin.
Indicating the chaos sweeping
Nazi officialdom, the Swiss news
paper Basel Arbeiter Zeitung re-
ported that number OF German IN
dustrialists and high-ranking Nazls
arrived in northern Italy recently
in an effort to obtain falsified ltal-
ian papers for a possible flight to
Switzerland.
The Berlin commentator, Hans
Hertel, although admitting Ger
many was not anxious to continue
fighting, warned that Allied plans
of vengeance humiliation"
would kill every German if the
country surrendered.
Therefore we continue to fight,
knowing it will cos1 us further
losses since we prefer this death
to suicide he said. I'VE shall
never capitulate.'
The exchange telegraph agency
reported from Zurich that Kassel,
ITS miles west of Berlin, had been
under martial law since Wednes-
day and that a majority of the
city's administrative officials and

NAACP ASKS PROVISION
AGAINST BIAS IN AID TO
EDUCATION LEGISLATION

Washington, d. C.-1hls week the
NAACP reiterated its support of Fed
eral aid to education but asked for
a stronger INSTRUMENTATION provi-
sion in the bill, during the hearings
before the House Education Commit
tee now considering H. R. 1896. The
bill as it stands would authorize an
appropriation of 5000, 900 900 to
assist the state in financing elemen-
tary schools. Funds would be pro-
vided to keep all public schools open
tor a term of not less than 100 days
and ~Substandard salaries would be
raised. An additional 500, OOO, 900
would be appropriated to more
ly equalize school systems in the
South with those Of the North. The
bill provides hat there should be a
Just and equitable apportionment"
OF funds for racial minority groups
in states maintaining separate schools
for the races.
Appearing on behalf of the
NAACP, Leslie Perry of the Wash
ington Bureau cited the Selective
Service Act as an example Of how
non-diScrimination clauses in Fed
eral legislation can be violated unless
procedures are set out in the act to
allow for hearings upon formal COM
plants of persons aggrieved. Perry
recommended to the committee that
Section s of the bill which provides
for auditing of state Federal aid ac-
counts by the U. S. Office Of Educa-
ton be amended so as to require
that such audits shall at all times
be available for public inspection"
IF either before or after audit
has been made" the recommended
ton continued, ANY person shall
complain to the Commissioner of
Education that he has reason to be-
lieve that any portion of the funds
appropriated under the act have
been expended by any state contrary
to the provisions Of the act, the COM
missioner hal afford such person a
hearing on his complaint" Persons
SO complaining, under the proposed
amendment, could appeal to a Fed
eral Court from the commissioner
decision, or if the commissioner fails
to hold a hearing in three months,
to issue a decision on the complaint
in six months. The Federal Court
would be authorized to review the
fact as well as the law.
The NAACP is pressing for the in
clusion Of this or a similar amend
ment to bills now in the House and
Senate.

needs of the national office and

need not further divert his time

funds. They further agreed to

Color Band Holds All of Us
However, we are bound together
by the one link we cannot change
color. The Jew can join the Baptist
Church, change his name from Fink
elstein to Jones, eat pork and be as
white and indistinguishable in the
white world as the German who re-
nounces his fondness for sauerkraut,
hogShead and beer. In such a meta
morphosis the Negro hasn't a chance.
He can get a degree from Oxford but
he will still be a Negro. He can in
vent the perpetual motion machine,
run the 100 yard dash in 8 seconds
flat, the mile in A minutes, build a
rocket and ride to the moon and
back, but he will still be a Negro.
As such, it would seem that he
would recognize his predicament or
status and seek to improve every
phase of it until it meets and beats
down all competition. We have the
individual abilities. We have the in
t%ellect, the individual strength of
character, the numbers with which to
work, yet we are seemingly as far
from hat goal as when the first boat
load of us was dropped at Jamestown
in 1919.
The Jews have mass discipline, an
iron-clad system Of family life and
parental control and an intense sense
of racial loyalty toward one another.
They are one Of Americas smallest
minorities, but also one of its most
potent. We have no mass discipline,
our system of family life hasn't been
nurtured and brought to full bloom.
Racial loyalty aong us is distorted.
We are Americas biggest minority,
but its weakest.
