deal of doubt as to Bryant's guilt.
Another suspect, Colonel Dixon,
just as he was to die for one muir
der, confessed the Staying of Trico,
completely absolving Bryant, but
during Bryant's second trial admis-
sion of this confession was denied.
Public opinion against Bryant's
execution was stirred by the liberal
Macon News, which has often
spoken out on issues affecting Ne
groes. Said the News three days be-
fore Bryant's scheduled execution:
evidence of another's confession
was excluded on Bryan's second
trial under an outrageously techni-
cal and unreasonable rule of evil
dence. The jury trying Bryant a
second time was never allowed to
know that Dixon had confessed this
crime.
"Thus the law is vindicated,
though justice may have been raped
in the process. Bryant may be
guilty. But he may not be. And he
ought not be put to death on the
verdict of a jury that knew nothing
of Dixon's confession"

WHEREFORE CONFERENCE
RATES EDUCATION AS KEY TO
RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS BIAS

ILBERFO ORCE, Feb. Fl
CAMP Four hundred white and
Negro students agreed here that the
best approach to solution of racial
and religious bias is by the way of
education rather than by legisla-
ton.
The conclusions of the race and
religious problems were reached
during the 18th annual student
conference conducted each year by
Wilberforce university as Ohio In
ternational days. Seventy-five white
student delegates, representing FL
white colleges and universities, at
tended the all-day session.
The theory was advanced that
prejudice and arrogance at any
level are a corresponding part of
isolationism, which the conference
condemned in hitting racial and re-
ligious bias. AS antidotes, the STU
dents prescribed international, in
terracial, and interreligious coop

KIN OF SLAIN man SAVES
LIFE OF DOOMED GEORGIAN

ATLANTA, Feb. 20 (ANP)-
The belated appeal of the slain
mans brother saved the life of Will
lie Bryant, who was scheduled to
die in the electric chair for the muir
der of Zach Trico, white Macon oil
executive.
Reginald Trico, brother of the
slain man, wired a last minute ap-
peal to the state pardons and parole
board here the night before Bryant
was scheduled to be electrocuted
and the board commuted Bryant's S
sentence to dife Imprisonment.
Tricoin asking the communication
said that he felt it his "Christian
duty to save Bryant's life because
there was a little doubt"
Negro leaders, however, were of
the opinion that there was great
ecutive secretary Of the Cincinnati
Council Of Social agencies, on poll
tics and minorities and DR.. Samuel
S. Cohen, representative Of the He
brew college Of Cincinnati, who
dealt with religious issues.

APPROPRIATION
OF S250,000 ENDS
F.E.P.C. fight

Last week after a two-weeks battle
that often seemed like a forlorn hope
the house of representatives voted
S250,000 to continue the work of the
FEPC. Final action is expected to
be taken today by the senate-house
conference. Senate has approved
this figure which is originally named
as compromise following a filibuster
by Senators Bilbo, Eastland, and 9TH
ers.
The full story of these two weeks,
during which Congressman Vito Mar
cantonio, president of the Internation-
al Labor Defense led the small, de-
termined group in the house against
what seemed often overwhelming odds
of poll-tax power, not of numbers
would take many pages Not half and
not quarter of the story has been
told in any newspaper. Even most
of the action on the house floor, move
after move that was essential to final
victory, did not get mention.
Victory and defeat are both repre-
scented in the result. FEPC needed,
and the administration asked for,
$4,000 to continue it's present mini
mum tasks during the coming year.
1t got much less than half.
But there was victory for the co.
100000 job fight in the graudging rec
ognition that FEPC is necessary to
the welfare of all the people. There
was victory in the defeat of poll-tax-
ers, so ably assisted by the sabotage
of the majority of republicans in both
houses, who were determined to des-
troy FEPC and it's principle in this
battle. There was victory for the
people in the congressional districts,
who saw to it, district by district, that

tives. no matter how languid their in
terest, were present to make the vote

SCHWELLE
LONG FRIEND
OF C0-0PERATIvES

WASHINGTON, D. C. (CLNS) =
| Lewis p Schwellenbach. newly ap
pointed secretary of labor, is a long
time friend of the cooperative move
ment, according to John Carson, di
rector of the Washington office O
The Cooperative League of the USA
Former Senator Schwellenbach was
born in Superior, Wisconsin and grew
up in the heart of the cooperative
country. Incidentally he is returning
to Superior July 81 to make one Of
his maiden speeches as secretary OF
labor.
He moved to the state of Washing
ton and as an attorney there he had
considerable association with the CO.
operatives. He was elected to the
United States senate in 1884 and
served for six years. President Roose-
welt then appointed the senator as
Judge of the federal court for the
eastern district of the state of Wash
ington. From this position Judge
Schwellenbach was appointed by
President Truman to the toughest
assignment in the cabinet, the post
as secretary of labor.
While serving as federal judge,
Schwellenbach made his famous de-
cision in behalf of co-operatives. The
case was in that of the OPA against
the Inland Dairy Association. In it
Judge Schwellenbach held that:
1.-THE patronage dividend (refund)
has been woven into the warp and
wool of the cooperative system. To
take from co-operatives the right to
pay patronage dividends ultimately
would destroy the cooperative struc-
ture."
The judge declared that he labored
long hours over the decision to see
that the co-operatives' rights were not
hampered in any way.
AS a senator, Lewis Schwellenbach
was looked upon by Washington OBJ
servers as one of the ablest and
soundest progressive thinkers and
was described by the late Senator
Norris as zone of the hopes of the
U. S. senate.
The secretary of labor has been a
friend of John Carson for
the past fifteen years and has asked
that Carson assist him in the pre-
Iiminary work of the department. Mr.
Carson has been loaned to the depart
nent by the Cooperative League for
thirty days.

DRIVE AGAINST
TAX EvADERS
is ORGANIZED

Lewis Penwell, collector of internal
revenue, for the Montana district an
nounced today that 20 employees will
be added to the internal revenue staff
in this district to assist the Treasury
departments current drive again war
time tax evaders.
Preference in appointments is given
to ex-service men. Primarily, the
positions will be allotted to persons
having experience in business, ac-
legal and investigation
work which would fit them for en-
ployment as deputy collectors. Sal
aries for the positions will start at
$2,320 plus overtime.
The efforts of these additional en-
ployees, together with the intensified
effort of existing staffs, are expected,
according to Secretary of the Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., to collect
at least billion dollars Of additional
revenue from tax chiselers all over
the country.
Altogether this effort to force black
and other tax eyaders to
pay their fair share of the war cost,
will require the addition of more than
10000 qualified employees to the in
ternal revenue service throughout the
United States. This goal has been
endorsed by President Truman, con-
gressional committees, and many pub
associations such as the
leading veterans and labor organiza-
lions.
The drive is nationwide in scope.
but Mr. Penwell said numerous
leads" have been received in this
district and will be investigated as
and rapidly as possible.
These leads" are expected to result
in substantial additional taxes and
penalties. In those cases where in
territorial fraud is indicated, criminal
also will be recommended.
Mr.. Penwell said that information
received from Joseph d. Nunan, Jr.,
of internal revenue, in
Washington, indicates that widespread
evasion of taxes is being uncovered

tbelng McCarran OF Nevada
and the other the senior sena-
tor from Montana, Burton K.
Wheeler.
In doing this, Senator Wheeler has
very definitely aligned himself with
the most reactionary elements in the
senate membership. 1t has also been
obvious, judging from news dispatches
that Senator Wheeler was not en-
thusiastic about the United Nations
charter, though he is said to have
stated that he would not lead opposi-
ton to it and might Ego along" on it.
1t is to be expected that the same
group now trying to stall action on
the Breton Woods plan will also be
found fighting approval by the senate
of the San Francisco charter.
II is recalled that some years ago,
Senator Wheeler was accustomed to
express himself strongly against Gin
ternational bankers" but apparently
he has now modified his opinions on
that group as he is supporting them
by his opposition to the world bank
This bank If established under the
control of the participating nations
will eliminate one of the principal
sources of profits by international
bankers" in juggling the values of
the worlds currencies.
The senator's actions should be
carefully observed from now on since
he is presumably going to be a can
didate on the democratic ticket for re-
election in 1916. 1t has been expected
that he would reverse his attitude on
important administration measures in
view of that fact, having been con-
sistent opponent of major efforts of
the administration in the past few
years,

PURCHASES OF
ALUMINIUM FROM
CANADA REDUCED

Sen. James +. Murray today noted
with qualification the additional re-
duction in the amount of aluminium
which the U. S. will receive from the
Aluminium Company Of Canada under
the so-called Shipshaw contract.
The senator said: 81 am pleased
with the information that the Ship
shaw aluminium contract, under which
this country contracted to purchase
250,000,000 pounds of aluminium from
the Canadian Aluminium Company
during the last six months of 1915 has
now been reduced to 75,00O,000
pounds.
"This additional reduction will re-
suit in saving to U. S. taxpayers
of several million dollars" Senator
Murray added.
The original contract was reduced
from the 25O,00O,O0O pound figure to
100,000,00O pounds for the last half
of this year in May when the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, after
investigation by the senate small bus
mess committee showed the aluminium
would not be needed for the war
effort, exercised an option in the con-
tract which permitted that the ship
ments be reduced to a minimum of
100,000000 pounds. The action was
taken upon the advice of the War
Production Board which agency at
the same time recommended that RFC
negotiate for further reductions in the
imports under the contract.
This most recent cut is the result
of these negotiations.

the liberated countries must be car
ried to the distressed areas. Unless
trucks are on hand, starvation and
death from privation will result"
Speeding up of truck procurement
has been due to several factors, Mr..
Hendrickson pointed out, including
ALLEGATIONS from the combined produe-
ton and resources board of United
States, Canadian and United Kingdom
trucks, purchases from the military
in the Balkans and Army cutbaeks in
the United States and Canada. Avail
able trucks in the United Kingdom
have been very limited to date, but
UNRRA is hopeful that the 300
trucks allocated by the combined pro-
duction and resources board for pur-
chase from there will be forthcoming
at an early date. Deliveries of COM
mercial trucks ordered in United
States plants have also been slow,
none having been made available
until the end of the second quarter.
An analysis of the truck procure
ment program to date was made by
Mr.. Hendrickson as follows:
2,473 trucks, with total load lift
of $500 tons, have been pur-
chased from surplus military stocks
in the Balkans. 1925 trucks with a
load lift capacity of 27,6O6 tons are
on order (many have been deliyereO
from Canada. These include 2,239 re-
Army trucks, 5,160 new
Army trucks provided through cut
backs, and 5,S26 commercial trucks.
In considering load lift capacity
Army ratings, which are much lower
than commercial ratings, are used.
This is because the roads of the lib
Grated countries are in such bad con-
dition that loads such as are carried
over good highways are impossible.

PRES. TRUMAN
URGES farm
SAFETY

By Presidential Proclamation, the
week beginning July % will be OBJ
served as National Farm Safety week
In issuing this proclamation, Presi-
dent Truman noted that the skill and
labor of the nations farmers is a vital
factor in winning the war and the pro
duction of food one of the most es-
sential means of winning the peace,
that the inevitable decrease in avail
especially urgent need for conserving
farm man and womanpower to meet
production goals in 1915. The Presi-
dent accordingly urged that farm peo-
pie everywhere observe National
Farm Safety Week by making check
in their homes and on their farms to
eliminate accident hazards.
The necessity for accident proven
ton is clearly seen in figures COM
piled by the National Safety Council,
showing that nearly 1900 farm peo-
pie were killed and 100000 were
injured last year. OF the injured, at
least $4,000 were crippled for life.
More farm people were killed by acct
dents in Americas first two years
participation in the war than the num-
Der of United States fighting men
killed in the war itself
More than half of the accidents oc-
Cured in the farm home. According
to the council, $500 members of farm
households are killed accidentally at
home each year. These home acct
firm responsibility on the woman be-
hind the man behind the plow 1t
therefore suggests that, in keeping
with the plan of the National Farm
Safety Week, Mrs. Farmer learn the
hazards around her home, eliminate
as many of them as possible, and act
in manner to avoid any remaining
hazards which cannot be removed.
Perhaps it will take some actual
building to remove some of the haz-
ards. For instance, are there hand
rails on all stairways? Are there
broken stairs on which members of
the family have already tripped or
fallen? Those hazards can be built
out" of the farm home And what
about lighting? Are there dark pas
sages in the halls, stairways, and stor-
age rooms? Adequate lighting is
prime requisite for safety in any
home. Dual switches at top and bot
tom of stairways will make for con-
venience as well as safety. Lamp
cords, which frequently are tripping
hazards, should be placed so there Is
no danger of a person falling over
them.
Storage space plays an important
part in home safety, the council furth-
er points out. Adequate storage
means that housekeeping tools, such
as brooms, mops, pals and solvents,
have a special place and are kept in
that place instead of cluttering stair
ways and halls. 1t means that seas
onal equipment is out of the way and
safe from fire. A locked compart- |
ment for all poisonous products and
for firearms will protect the family
from accidental poisoning and death
from firearms. There should be a |
place for storing children's toys and
sports equipment, and children should
