SOUTHERN INTERRA(IAL
GROUPS TO OPPOSE
,FEpC FILIBU5TER

CHICAGO, June 21 (ANP)-In-
terracial groups from various parts
of the south will be in Washington
to oppose senate filibuster against
the FEPC bill, said A. Philip Ran
dolph during a FEPC mass meeting
at Orchestra hall here.
Randolph, president of the Broth
erhood Of Sleeping Car porters, ex-
planned that he had recently organ
lied interracial groups in Texas,
louisiana, Georgia, Tennessee and
North Carolina for the specific pur-
pose of sending mixed delegations
to the nations capital to protest any
attempts to fillibuster discussion
on permanent fair employment
practice bill.
The labor leader urged public
support not only for the fight to
secure FEPC legislation but to de-
mand necessary congressional ap-
preparations for the continuance of
a temporary FEPC commission un-
/ til law for the formation of a per-
manent commission can be enacted.
Unless congress appropriates funds
for the operation of a temporary
FEPC commission before June 80,
he said, the present commission will
die.
Randolph revealed that powerful.

interests and influences are at work
to thwart the passage Of a perman-
ent fair employment practice COM
mission. Rep. Sabbath, chairman of
the house rules committee, made a
dreadful blunder that may result
in the defeat of FEPC bill when he
agreed to wait until all members
of an anti-FEPC southern bloc were
present before taking action on the
measure, he said.
He analyzed the bill to show that
it proposes to set up a government
agency similar to other govern
ment agencies, with similar pow
ers, in contradiction to charges Of
FEPC enemies that a permanent
FEPC commission will have too
much power and will be destruc-
tive force to the nations employ
ers.
Republicans are as much at fault
in delaying action on FEPC as
southern Democrats, he remarked.
Reaction to a permanent FEPC
law in the south is favorable, he
claimed, in revealing the organiza-
tion of southern interracial FEPC
groups. Such group presented him
with a $4,000 check in Booker T.
Washington High school of New
Orleans, he said.
Randolph warned against the
wave of anti-Semitism in the post
war period as well as the probabil-
ity of bloody strikes and race riots

NEGRO VETS REPORTED

GOV. HOUSING PROJECT

WASHINGTON, June 81 (ANP)
"A new government housing pro-
ject for World War II veterans, To-
Gated in Paisley forest here, was
reported to be barring the admis-
sion of Negro veterans.
The glamor homes, said to be
priced at $3.50, are said to be fl

ministration, and were recently ad-
vertised by the Frederick w. Ber-

The FILA, frequently charged
with sanctioning racial protective

against minority groups, is said to
view the financing of government

MANY SERvI(EMEN ARE GUESTS OF
 ROTARY AT LUNCH
R. E. Robertson Gives Main Address on American
 ism Today Noon

A large crowd of Juneau and Douglas servicemen attended the weekly Rotary Club luncheon held in the Baranof Hotel Gold Room at noon today. The program was especially planned in their honor, with R. E. Robertson giving the main address. His subject was "Americanism.
 The program opened with Bob Waugh, accompanied on the piano by his father, Herb Waugh, singing ''The Lords Prayer" Then for a short while. Rotary business was discussed, which included final ar engagements for the Rotary quiz Thursday night. N
 Howard Stabler, Juneau Attorney, introduced the servicemen, each standing when his name was read and giving the name of his home town. Stabler told the boys to re- member they were fighting for the blessings of liberty, and admonished the civilians to do their job for the welfare of the country.

raham Lincoln said, must be keps in force if our type of government would survive.
 He stated that if it were not for the service of our men and women Americanism would be dead today. However, he warned against too much regimentation as great danger to the Democratic way of life. He said the state was not the best instructor of youth, but that parents and the American home were.
 Briefly outlining the background of the Americanism movement, he said it did not spring from huge populations nor in the big cities, but came from the rural districts. However, it was strong enough to extend it's blessings into the cities.
 Toward the close of his speech he warned that elected people should remain servants of the people--not masters.

LOW PRICED CLOTHING TO
 BE BACK SOON
By MARVIN L. ARRowsMITH

By MARVIN l.. AkkOWSMlIA
 WASHINGTON, Feb, 20.-Wnat's caused the virtual disappearance of inexpensive clothing from store shelves and prompted the govern ment to drastic steps to replenish the supply?
 The outfitting of more than 100000 service men and wo- men means that. regardless of gov efnment programs, the supply ot lowcost materials will remain tight while the fighting continues.
 But relatlvely little of rae size able quantity of material left over has been going into low-priced gar ments.
 More Profits
 The big reason: more profit in the higher price lines of clothing
 That is why the War Production Board had to order mills and the clothing industry to earmark about 75 per cent of all civilian fabrics for essential low-cost garments.
 That is why the Office of Price Administration is preparing regu- lation to will make it less profitable to deal in so-called luxury clothing At the same time the. regulation is being designed to give a fair return On low-priced garments, something the industry contends it hasn't been able to get.
 Whether the trade is right on that point CT not, higher price lines have been the trend-at the ex- pense of output of low-priced chill dren's wear, mems shirts and shorts, work clothes, women's, and girls dresses and many other items.
 Fancier And Fancier
 Things like this has been hap pening:
 At the mills, where raw cotton, rayon and wool begin to move irto clothing, fancier, more expensive weaves have replaced the simple patterns. These constructions have higher ceiling prices.
 Wool passes next to the garment manufacturer. but cotton and rayon go to converters who finish" the fabric-bleaching and dyeing or printing it. Here again the ten- dency has been to 'overfinish' or "fancy-up'. as OPA put it. Plain cloth that would make a $2 white shirt becomes gaudily checked fab- ric for a sport shirt that sells at $5 or $6 or more.
 OPA contends that inflationary practices by garment manufacturers have contributed largely to the II psr cent rise in clothing prices over the last IS months.
 There has been an almost uni versal tendency to curtail produc- tion of low-price lines.' an OPA official said. Some manufacturers have dropped inexpensive lines"
 Military Need High
 To some extent manufacturers have not been at fault, the official added, since the Army and Navy have requistioned huge quantities of low priced fabrics and much of the remaining supply has been over finished.
 Adding to the over all problem, there has been an increase of in- termediate sellers. Some of these are dummy jobbers who take a mark-up to- force up-quite legally the price the public pays. Con- trols are being prepared to outlaw jobberS who have come into buSi-

ably will be some like the USS Aran- CT, formerly owned by Comdr. John Ford, USNR. the movie director and the fabled Lotusland, owned by Col E. A. Deeds, the cash register tycoon. The Lotusland had pipe organ and Italian marble fireplaces when it was taken over. It doesn't have them now.
 VISA officials have to do some tall computing tc figure what the boats should bring. Usage and the ex- tent to which they were stripped for action have to be taken into con- sideraticn. They expect to get about 50 cents on the purchase dol lar in disposing of them.
 Che yacht that may never be sold is the USS Dauntless, which spends practically all of it's time tied up at the Washington Navy Yard pier. It was formerly the Del phine, owned by Mrs. Anna Dodge Dillman But now it is the un- armed and unarmored home of none ether than Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, commander in chief of the Navy. It not only solved Admir- al Kings Washington housing prob lem, but undoubtedly is the only pleasure yacht that ever served as an admiral's flagship.

 The retail storekeeper hasn't been able to sell what wasn't being pro- duced. But again, there has been more profit in costlier lines, and retailers have had little incentive to plug for inexpensive garments.
