the woman, he fled when a passerby

state chairman of the Progressive
Democratic party.
The request came after the sec
retary had intervened in a sched-
uled election in Bulgaria on the
grounds that that nation suffered
under one-party system.
The letter said: ain your own
state of South Carolina and, in your
own section of America, more than
nine million American citizens,
merely because of race, are barred
from a peoples choice of govern

cording to the office of the United
States Employment Service here
white housewives need not expect
the prewar maids to come back any
time soon.
R. j. Galloway, assistant director
OF the USES office, said that the
Negro woman who traded her apron
and white cap for slacks and a
sweater and a wartime lob isn't
anxious for $40 and SIS a week en-
ployment. The same is true for the
yardman and the handyman.
The USES says that in the recon-
version period the domestics who
took high-paying war jobs prefer to
draw unemployment compensation
while they look for a job which will
utilize their newly acquired skills.
The maximum compensation in
Georgia is $18 week for Is weeks.

ATTORNEY GENERAL MOVES ON MEMPHIS RAPE CASE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6 (ANP).
Gen. Tom C. Clark has in
structed the U. S. district attorney
at Memphis, William McClanahan,
to forward to him additional infor-
nation in connection with the al
legged arrest and reported criminal
assault" upon two girls by two
white police officers recently, it is
learned here.
The case was brought to Clark's
attention in letter written him bv
A. Philip Randolph, president, Bro
therhood of Sleeping Car Porters.
1t was in Memphis also that Ran
dolph had had a serious brush with
the local police force in 1943 over
the right to address mass meet
ing.
In his letter Randolph rejected
the possible excuse that the feder-
al government might not be able to
act because it would be an infringe
ment of states right. A spokesman
for the justice department, howev-
er, pointed out that the U. S. Su-
preme court decision in the famous
Screws case would seem to give the
federal authorities the right to act
against local law enforcement Of

would fall within the category this

GOVERNOR LIFTS BAN ON
NEGRO STUDENTS FROM
STATE COLLEGE DORMS.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6 (ANP)
Negro students attending Penn
sylvania's Ia state teachers college,
hitherto barred from living in the
dormitories, may now do so. The
only exception was Cheyney State
Teachers college, of which Dr. Les
lie Pickney Hill is president.
When Gov. Edward Martins at
tention was called to the refusal Of
the state teachers colleges to admit
colored students to the dormitories,
he instructed the superintendent OF
public instruction, DR. Francis Haas,
to call meeting Of the college pres
idents, at which the rights of the
Negro students under the law were
explained.
Responsible for this victory was
a committee of the Pennsylvania
Association of Teachers Of Colored
Children and of the New Era Edu-
cation association, comprised of DR..
John H. Brodhead, principal Of the
Arnold school, Philadelphia, as
chairman, Miss Lucy Wricks and
James Paige, who brought the dis
criminatory practices to the gov
ernor.
With the new college term about
to begin, any student who can af-
ford it may make application to
live and board in the dormitories
and may report any seeming VIOLA
ton of their rights to the joint COM
mittee of the Patcc and the Nea, or
to Mrs. Mable d. Gates, president
of the former group.

The letter concluded: "Mr. Secre-

DISCHARGES SpEEDED UP
AT BOTH AIR FIELDS

Officers and enlisted men at
Wright and Patterson Fields are
returning to civilian life in rapidly
accelerated numbers, ATSC Off
cials reported last night.
Greatest handicap to larger num-
bers leaving is the inability of
separation centers to handle the
releasing of more men. Conditions
at the Dayton airfields are similar
to those at other ATSC installa-
tions, it was indicated here.
More than 1000 have been re-
leased within the last three weeks
from the two fields, and as MANY
more are waiting to be sent to sep
aration centers.
Among those beginning to leave
the filed are medical personnel
doctors, dentists and nurses. Re-
leases also are coming through for
skilled aeronautical men-196 Of
ficers leaving ATSC headquarters
at Wright Field since Aug. Is.
ATSC headquarters has sent 652
enlisted men to separation centers
nearest their homes. These include
number discharged as over 38
years of age. Twenty in that age
category were sent recently from
Patterson Field.
Orders for release of men 35
years or older have not been re-
ceived at the fields, but are ex-
pected momentarily. Patterson
Field plans to release 14O in that
age group within the first month
while 40 more in the 38-year-old
group are awaiting calls to separa.
tion centers.

The 46 officers and 12O enlisted
men sent from Patterson Field re-
Gently have been largely those with
a high number of points or over
AZ years old. Seventy-two more Of
flcers are awaiting clearance to
separation centers, it was revealed
These are mostly men from units
other than the air corps.
More than so enlisted men are
expected to be sent from Patterson
Field as soon as discharge points
can handle them. Each of the fields
clears from 10 to 50 men daily.
