Two Worthy Fund Drives

Two worthy campaigns to raise funds under way
IN Detroit and both viii end June 30 One the Seventh
War Loan drive, while the other the United Negro Col
lege Fund campaign.
The Government is asking all citizens to invest in
Seventh War Loan bonds Remember the money you put
into bonds is not gift, but investment which will
bring you profitable financial returns, and the same
time help provide the money with which to supply
fighting forces with essential materials needed
bring the to speedy and successful conclusion and
establish peace in the world
IN the College Fund campaign, you asked to con-
tribute toward the financial support Of accredited Negro
colleges particularly in the South to enable these ins
tuons of learning carry the vital work Of educating
the youth Of who will become leaders Of
tomorrow Any investment to overcome lliteracy is
round investment.

two financial undertakings Let's buy bonds Let's in

The DECISIVE DECADE:

"Cuf-baoks and how they will

is at preseni a much talked about
subject. OF specific concern is
how cu'backs will affect nom
white workers. Many industrial
lists who do not have the total
community a heart are patiently
waiting 10 get even with seq
ment OF their employees. Tntegre-
cation OF the Negro worker has
not taken place in all Industries.
In many plants /, is a matter
OF put up until the war effort
is over. Then the employment
slashes will come az will.

visited several plants within the

they do not present any individ-

ent from any other worker.
The Personnel manager OF one
company exposed me 10 his per-
sonnet records. He further went
over them with me. and it was
found that Negroes had excel
lent records IN that plant. The
fact is that the employee having
he best record was a Negro and
that the employees having the
worst record was white. In that
plant much effort had been made
10 integra'e all workers and the
accomplishment was wholesome
one. This achievement was posi-
bic because top nagement had
taken a sane and unbiased atii-
iude about fair treatment OF all
workers. Orchids TO that plant
Another plant Manager report

ployees were Negroes and that

His main concern was TO find n
way 70 get rid OF that 10 ner
cent Of white employees or find
methods by which that 10 per
cent OF white employees could
be brought up 10 par.
On The other side there have
been Industrialists who AT the
very out set did not want 10 take
on Negro workers certainly they
ala not want them in large num-
bers. They wanted them to per-

controversies delayed formal ending
of hostiAties then.
Neither the Jap acceptance of
surrender terms on August IA nor
the vi day proclamation Mr.. Tru-
man will issue when the terms are
signed affect the time the war will
legally end. In this business of
writing an official "finis" to the war,
they are just couple of dates that
might be made national holidays.
Off1cials pointed out there still Is
another hurdle in the way of COM
pletely ending the war. Months
before Pearl Harbor, on May 81,
l94l. President Roosevelt proclaimed
a state of unlimited national emer.
gency so that the Nation might
better prepare for war which seemed
inevitable
Declaration Still Valid.
That declaration still is in force,
and the best guess of officials Is
that it will remain so until war
problems are solved and the country
is completely returned to peacetime
ways some time after cessation of
hoStilitieS."
A number of wartime steps are
tied directly to the emergency dec
laration, including the reouisition of
United States owned vessels, en-
largement of the regular enlisted
strength of the Navy, establish
ment of the emergency Coast Guard
and its transfer to the Navy, and
many others.
Based on the official termination
of hostilities are numerous amend
ments to the Internal Revenue Act,
renegotiation of war contracts,
training of nurses, War Labor Dis
putes (Smith-C -Connally) Act, under
which the President gets his power
to seize in event of strikes, and hun
dreds of others.
Draft Extension Seen.
Compulsory service in the armed
forces under the Selective Service
Act would end six months after hos
tilities are decreed to have ended.
The power of induction and the act
itself expires May Is, 1916.
1t was held likely that Congress
will be asked to extend the act.
But whatever action is taken in
that direction is largely dependent
on Congress final action on the per-
manent peacetime draft So far,
Congress has indicated a desire to
end conscription as soon as possible.
The whole picture regarding war;
timee activities of the Government
likely will be overhauled and
changed by Congress in the weeks to
come. The administration is de-
pending upon continuance of Mr..
Truman's good relations with Con-
gress for this picture to turn out

For Staying Private

BY the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kans., Aug. 25.-A To-
peka Army air field court-martial
today found Capt. Donald L. Sails
bury of Madison, N. j., guilty Of
manslaughter and ordered him con-
fined at hard labor for five years.
Originally charged under the 92d
article of war with murder in the
fatal shooting of Pfc. James C.
FRockfeller of Milwaukee. The SEN
tence was under the 93d article of
war, which is manslaughter.
Besides confinement, the court
martial ordered the B-29 pilot dis
missed from the service with for
feiture of all pay and allowances
due and owing.
Calls Shooting Accident.
Salisbury testified the shooting
was accidental.
L had nothing against the pri-
vate and I would give anything to
bring him back"
Salisbury told the court Pfc. Rock
efeller had engaged two companions,
a major and lieutenant, in an ar
gument and had used abusive Ian
guage and that he had attempted
to order the private away from his
car at night club.
The private, Salisbury, said, called
the officers names and had added,
That goes for everyone with brass
on"
Salisbury said he took % cali
ber automatic from its holster in his
car and told Pvt. Rockefeller, Il
have gun and it's loaded!"
Salisbury said he fired two shots
into the air in an effort to scare
Pvt. Rockefeller but that the soldier
remained unmoved. He said that
when he attempted to drive away
from the night club the private
was standing in front of his car
and that he jammed the car to a
stop.
Grabbed for Gun.
Shortly after the car stopped,
Salisbury said, the private hit him
in the face and grabbed for the
gun. The gun went off he said, and
Pvt. Rockefeller fell away from the
car.
Salisbury said he then drove
quarter of mile down the road to
another night spot and called police
who arrived seven or eight minutes
later and took possession of the
gun.
Defense counsel submitted evil
