THREE GROUPS JOIN
"H0LD THE line" FIGHT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 (ANP).
Three Negro organizations are
supporting the request of 10 con-
sumer groups made to John w.
Snyder, director of war mobiliaza-
ton and reconversion, to use his
authority to implement strong anti
initiation policies during the recon-
version period.
The National Council of Negro
women, the NAACP, and the Non
partisan Council of Public affairs
of the AKA sorority are among
those committed to the following
six-point program.
1. OPA measures to hold the
price line; 2. renewal of the Second
War Powers act, which expires
Dec. 81, without crippling amend
ments that would limit controls
over ALLEGATIONS, rationing and pro-
duction; 3. the maintenance of con-
sumer subsidies for those foods
whose supply remains short, in
order to avoid price increases re-
sulting from premature removal; 4.
maintaintence of tight rent control;
5. the granting of powers to the
OPA to fix prices on residential
real estate, both old and new homes
and building lotss; 6. the policy,
adopted by OPA of insisting that
distributors absorb increased costs
where such absorption would not
impair prewar levels of profits.

FEpC BREAKS jim CROW UNITS
IN BROOKLYN NAVY ARD

NEW YORK, Oct. 25 (ANP)-I
Jim CrsW working units in the New
York Navy yard, Brooklyn, have
been broken up as a result of the
intervehtionSby the FEPC, it was
announced by Edward Lawson, re-
gional director.
Several aggregated units were
established last year by former
Commandant Monroe Kelly, short
ly after FEPC had succeeded in
getting qualified Negroes promoted
to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. jobs in the
drillers' shop for the first time in
the yards history.
A complaint against this form of
discriminatory work assignment,
which limited promotional oppor-
tunities for Negro workers, was
lodged with the FEPC by Local 1877
of the United Federal Workers of
America.
Following investigation last APP
ril by Examiner Robert Jones of
the FEPC regional staff, Rear
Adm. F. A. Daubin, now comman-
dant of the yard, was requested to
eliminate this type of unfair en-
ployment practices. At that time
the Admiral replied that special
effort will be made to convert these
into mixed units"
A final report from the yard
last week indicated all work units
are now operating with completely
mixed staffs. This was confirmed
by Kenneth Murphy, official Of the
navy yard local of the UFW.

BALLplAYER SAT(hEL PAIGE
0k's R0BIN50N'S ELEVATION

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26. :
Satchel Paige, who has lot of
peoples votes as the greatest
pitcher of all time, today wistfully
hailed the action of the Montreal
baseball club in signing Jackie
Robinson. Paige himself is too old
to go up, but he was glad to see
Robinson make it.
"They don't make a mistake by
signing Robinson" the aging Negro
hurler said. "He's No. l profess
sional player. They couldn't have
picked better man."
Paige, who claims to be 38 but
has at least 25 years of pitching in
semi-professional ball, predicted
Robinson would go straight to the
major leagues from the Interna-
tional league team.
Il had overtures to join farm
club of a major league outfit while
l was playing baseball in North
Dakota" he said, 'but | didn't
quite make it. Of course Pm too old
now"
Paige outpitched youthful Bobby
Feller here a month ago, tanning
10 men Of a picked major league
team in five innings, gave up no
walks, only two hits and one un-
earned run. The American league
fast ball ace gave up two runs, four
hits, four walks and struck out four
in the same series of frames.
For years the ace of the Kansas
City Monarchs had been battling
stars with his pitching, often brag-
ging he could strike out anybody
when he wanted to.

Peace Draft Hearing To Be Heard November

L VOUGIILOGI u
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Chair-
man Andrew j. May (Dem., Ky.)
announced today the house military
affairs committee will begin hear
ings Nov. 8 on universal military
training legislation requested by
President Truman.
He said he hoped to get house ap-
proval of the measure before the end
of the year.
The committee will consider a
bill which May introduced last Jan.
3 at the war departments request.
1t follows in most respects the
recommendation Mr.. Truman out
lined in special message to con-
gress Tuesday.
The bill calls for a years COM
pulsory training for all able-bodied
youths as soon as they become 18,
or upon completion of a regular
high school course. After years
training, they would be listed as
reserves for eight years and would
be subject to refresher training if
called up.
This was in line with the recon-
mendations set forth by Mr.. Tru-
man who also had suggested that
youths not physically qualified for
military training be trained in ac-
tivities essential to the country in
the event of a national emergency.
May said the issue was Of such
importance "that the matter should
be considered promptly" If it is
left until next year, he added, it
will become major political issue
in the 1916 congressional elections.
Acting Chairman Edwin C. John
son (Dem., Colo, said Tuesday,
however, his senate military affairs
committee probably would not take
up the subject before JAM Is.
Mr.. Truman was asked today for
his reaction to an editorial in the
Washington Post suggesting that
Gen. George c. Marshall, chief of
staff, be placed in charge of the
training program.
He said he was confident Marshall
would add his prestige to the sup
port of the requested program. Then
he said Marshall is still chief of staff
and was needed in that post
The house postwar military policy
committee held extensive hearings
last spring on universal training
and issued a report recommending
such a program be adopted. Religi-
GUS, educational and labor groups
, opposed compulsory training at that
, time, and it appeared certain their
, views would be reiterated before
, Mays committee.
