name of a second individual is un-

pointment of a special assistant to
The veterans administrator, the
Associated Negro Press learns ex-
clusively.
He is Leroy Jeffries of New York
currently an assistant personnel di-
rector for the Arma corporation OF
Brooklyn.
Earlier, the name of Col Camp
bell c.. Johnson had been advanced
and even now is understood to be
before Gen. Omar Bradley, head OF
the agency. Jeffries' name, how
ever, has not yet gone to Bradley
it was said.
AVOID BRASS"
According to the source disclos-
ing the information, the feeling is
that it might not be advisable to
fill up the agency with too much
brass" meaning military folk. Col
Johnson. a veteran of the first
world war and former member OF
the Washington Board Of Educa-
ton, has been special assistant to
the director of national selective
service for the past four years.
Jeffries brings with him long
record of industrial experience in
the state of New York. He had
been the first Negro appointed to
a high state job in 1889 when he
was named an economist. Since
then he has worked considerably in
the field of personnel.

The S. l. u, whose contracts
to supply unlicensed crews to
about a dozen steamship lines in
the U. S. Maritime Service were
frozen for the duration of the
war emergency, was also direct
ed to cease specifying the race or
color of seamen requested by it
from the rotary hiring list of the
War Shipping Administration.
Nor may the union continue its
practice of refusing to accept
for employment, because of their
race, men referred by the WSA's
Recruitment and Manning Organ
ization, Mr.. Ross said. All sea-
men are to be referred by the
union to masters of ships on the
basis of their .occupational quail
ifications.
HEARING HELD
The committees decision, which
has been known by the S. L. u,
an AFL affiliate, for several
months, was reached after study
of evidence presented at a hear
ing before a panel of the com
mittee in New York on October
10, 1914. The union was charged
in complaints filed with the COM
mittee with refusing during the
years 1912, 1913, and 1914 to
utilize qualified Negro seamen
as cooks, bakers, oilers, ship car
penters, ordinary seamen, etc.
After the hearing and prior to
the issuance of the decision, a
subcommittee of the committee
visited and inspected ships operat-
ed under contract both with S.
l. u. and with the National Mari
time Union.
'"The inspections were made, "
states the decision, "to enable
the committee to understand and
evaluate the evidence in this
case in the light of conditions
actually existing aboard the
ships"
TRANSCRIPT RECEIVED
Also received in evidence by the
committee was the transcript of
testimony taken on February 25,
1914, and on subsequent. occas-
ions before the Special House
Committee to Investigate Execut-
i've Agencies, generally known as
the Smith Committee. The union
had made protests to the Smith
Committee concerning the re-
fusal of the Recruitment and
Manning Organization to honor
S.I.U.'s discriminatory requests,
Mr.. Ross said.

sponsibility for the operation of

whether Negro or white, has been
the one sent to fill a request, a
plan that R.M.O. has described as
the "only fai~. and efficient met
hod that could be used"
In repose TO the S. /. US as
sertions that it's white members
will refuse to work under adj
herence to this system, and thus
cause delay in sailings, the COM
mittee said that It was "far from
convinced that STU. seamen will
so far forget their duty to the
nation as to withdraw from en-
ployment if the unions current
practices are modified" cit
should be emphasized" the deci-
sion continued "that there is still
need for manpower to operate
our Maritime Service. Not only
must we bring home millions of
veterans from the European and
Pacific war zones, but our ships
must be relied upon to transport
the necessary SUPPLIES and equip
ment to our military forces oc-
cupying enemy territories.

Occupation
 Agreements Appear Set
By PHIL AULT

London, May 31-(UP)-A Mos COW announcement of an imminent meeting of the Allied Control Con- mission for Germany indicated to- day that Russia, America and Brit ain were agreed on the main points of policy in the three-way occupa- ton of the Reich.
 British sources confirmed the Soivet report that meeting of the Control Commission was shaping up. They said the exact date had not been set, but there would be no undue delay.
 Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov, Russia's No. 1 professional soldier, will represent the Soviet Union on the commission. A Soviet Tass dis potch indicating by tndirection that Marshal Klementi E. Voroshilov might also be member was clari- fled later to mean that he was the president of a control commission in Hungary.
 Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will represent the United States and Marshal Sir Bernard L. Mont gomery, Britain, on the commission
 France has not named her dele gate, but it probably will be Gen. Jean De Lattre De Tassigny, com mander-in-chief of the French First Army.
 Whereabouts of the forthcoming control commission meeting still had not been decided. The commis- sion hopes ultimately to sit in Ber- lin, but lack of housing facilities will keep it out of the capital at least temporarily.
 Though Moscow dispatches said variously that the commission would convene within 8 flew days" or in the nearest future," British quarters warned against toe literal an interpretation of the phrases.
 There will be no undue delay, British informants said, but the ex- act date has not been settled.
 The apparent speeding up of ar engagements for the meeting was at- tributed to the missions of President Truman's two special envoys, Joseph E. Davies to London and Harry L. Hopkins to Moscow.
 Observers saw the Russian an- nouncement of an imminent meet ing as a solid result of Hopkins conferences with Premier Marshal Stalin.
 Coupled with Montgomery's an- nouncement of British policy for the British-occupied zone of Germany, the Soviet statement indicated that the occupying powers have reached an understanding on several key points.

Selectman Arrested For
 Fist Fight In Southbury

The first selectnan of the town Of Southbury, J. Edward Coer, and a resident, Joseph Cooper, seeking repairs on the road in front of his home, engaged in a fist fight at MT. Coer,s home in the Kettletown district on May 21, the Democrat learned today, and as result both men have been served with war rants charging breach of the peace and will be tried in the town court on June F.
 Cooper charged that Coer struck him when he went to complain about the condition of the road, which runs from the Jeremy Swamp road to his home, and which Coer maintains has been abandoned by the town. He obtained a warrant for the select1nan from the local prosecutor, Russell Warner, after the fight, and shortly afterwards Coer obtained a warrant for Cooper in a cross complaint.
 In addition, Cooper instituted 8 $5 900 damage suit against the se- lectman in New Haven Superior court, through his attorney, Joseph Perlmutter, charging that Coer att tackled him, causing him injury through shock, a bloody nose, bruises and that in the cause of the assault, the selectman's dog bit him, causing a severe laceration of the leg.
 Both men were served with war rants Tuesday by State Trooper Robert Murphy. Judge Albert Aston of the Southbury town court dis qualified himself from hearing the cases. as the town court judges are appointed by the selectmen. The personnel of the Middlebury court, Judge Clarke, and Prosecutor George Lynch have agreed to try the cases. Prosecutor Lynch will collaborate with Prosecutor Warner in presenting the charges against the two men.

June Meat Supply

Boston, May 31. (UP)-New Eng ladn will suffer more than the rest of the nation from the estimated ' per cent cut in meat supplies during June, the regional OPA revealed today.
 National OPA Administrator Chester Bowles predicted about POI ,010,0O0 pounds of meat weekly in June as compared with about 214,320,000 in May.
 A regional OPA spokesman said that the shortage will be relatively greater in New England as has been the case since the beginning of the war" He pointed to the fact that 85 per cent of New England'S pre- war federally inspected meat suply came from outside the area.
 Nov, however, midwest packers prefer to ship their meat nearer home as business advantage" he added. Tn any shortage such as this, industrial areas are hardest hit. In this war, New England. New York and the west coast have borne the brllnt of the scarcities."
 However, the regional OPA said that steps are being taken to bring more meat into New England. The OPA is attempting to control the slaughter of meat, it was added, 10 make more meat available for New England families and is redoubllng its efforts to stamp out diversion of meat into black market channels.

Senate Given State Budget

Hartford Conn, May 31 = (UPJ The states record-making $780, 750,64S biennial budget, approved by the House, went to the Senate today for final action.
 The House gave unanimous ap- proval to the budget, and question: ed only one item-a $469, 900 appro- priation to the State Development Commission.
 This same item is expected to b< a focal point in the Senate where the Democratic control seeks td abolish the commission and replace it with 8 State Department of Commerce.
 Representative Wallace K.

He said the recommended $73,000,000 appropria- tions from the general fund were based on anticipated revenues of SIT 1000, ,000. Highway appropriations, he said, were financed from motor vehicle receipts, and special funds were self-supporting.

Point Values ChonqeAaoin

Washington, May 31 (UP) - Lower point values in June for to- mato and mixed vegetables juices and higher values for canned toma- toes and canned spinach were an- nounced today by the office of price administration.
 The new values take effect June , and continue through June 30.
 Raising of canned tomato point Eaanes to 40 points, the highest for tomatoes to date, came as Chair nan Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, of the Senate Food Committee de- 'clared that tomatoes and lot of other processed foods should be off the ration list entirely.
 Thomas charged OPA officials of keeping canned goods under ra- tioning because they want to keep their jobs"
 Along with the processed food changes OPA announced that point values for most meats, fats and oils would remain undisturbed for the June period. OPA warned that there would be seven per cent less meat for civilians during the month than in May.
 OPA said there would be 6,700 900 pounds less beef, 12,3O0,000 pounds less pork, 60O,0OO pounds less lamb but 5,3OO,0O0 pounds more veal and 100000 pounds more mutton.

Job ReferroI ForWomenIn City Lifted

Job referral requirements for wo- men in the Waterbury area will be lifted tomorrow as a first step in loosening of the long-standing labor controls here, 1t was announc- ed today by Mrs. Mary M. Dewey, area War Manpower director.
 The removal of the strict hiring restrictions for women is a fore runner of three large layoffs antici- pated here next month, it was dis closed.
 Mrs. Dewey said the WING Is paan- ming other steps also to prevent url- employment and to meet war work needs, and indicated consideration will be turned to possible modified tion of the 48-hour work week re- quirements in some fields.
 Starting tomorrow women work CTS will not be required to obtain referrals from the U. s. Employ ment Service, although the USES will continue to refer women to jobs. The requirement. for a state ment of availability will still stand, however, and women will have to adhere to the various other stabill- zation regulations.
 The three heavy outbacks will take place June 3, IS, and IT, at the Scovill Mfg. Co.,, the U. s. Time Corp, and the Chase Brass & Cop per Go. It is estimated that 70 per cent of all the persons who are laid off through cut-backs in contracts will be women, and hence the first modification of hiring rules will apply to women workers.
 New ceiling levels on male labor have been set up for the employers of the Waterbury area, and they have been announced through the mail to firms that are rated and classified by the WING. About 5000 other employers have been asked to contact the WING for their new cailings.
 It has been revealed that smaller firms of the area continue to re- ceive war contracts and many of them need additional workers. AL

Hitler's Financiers May Be Indicted As War Criminals

ference here was addreSSd by Lord Wright, chairman of the war crimes commission. A censored version of his speech was to be made public this afternoon. A spokesman said certain statistics" and references to Japanese war criminals" prob ably would be eliminated from the version released.
 In northern Germany, the British Second Army was preparing to re- turn William Gord Flaw HaW) Joyce to Britain to face trial for his life as a traitor.
 British medical experts said Joyce, renegade Briton who broadcas. Nazi propaganda from Germany, would be fit for travel within a few days. A strong guard was post ed at his bedside in a Luere- burg hospital where doctors yester- day removed a bullet from his but tockS.
 He probably will be tried by civil court in London. The Home Office has taken over his case and a Scotland Yard officer was due at the hospital to question him.
