F.E.P.C. Head
Visits Trundn

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
President Harry S. Truman has
promised to give the problem of
protecting the rights of minority
group workers during reconversion
his SERIOUS thought" according to
Malcolm Ross, Chairman of the
Presidents Committee on Fair EN-
ployment Practice, after a White
House conference with the Presi-
dent last week.
Ross was one of the callers by
appointment at the White House
last week. He made formal state
ment after his visit in which he
said: "The President is infinitely
informed on the problems confront
ing FEPC. We examined fully the
position of minority group work
ers in war industry and the posi-
ton they will face during recon-
version. The President stated that
he was giving the situation his
serious thought"
From this, there was no indica-
ton whether the pending legislation
for a permanent FEPC was speci-
fically discussed, or what the Presi-
dents position is on such legisla-
ton. While he was listed as a sup
porter during his term as Senator
and as Vice-President, the present
status of the legislation is said to
need a much more active interest
now that he is President.

Enforcement Still Question Mark
The question of whether more
incorporation of these ideals and
principles into the charter will en-
sure their augmentation in prac-
tice can be answered, however, only
in terms of the general policies
which are agreed upon, and the
degree to which these policies are
supplemented within the member
nations.
AS Sumner Welles has said: "The
age of imperialism is over. Our
Victory (the victory of the United
Nations) must bring in its train
the liberation of all peoples"

tippling house. The TIMES direct
ly quoted Judge Lyons as saying,
maybe it's a good thing for you
that the husbands of those two
white girls are not here or you
would have more trouble"
The story caused considerable
comment all over the city because
of it's implications. Citizens bonn
barded both the NAACP and Urban
League officials with queries and
protests against the alleged re-
marks by jurist.
Court Record Proves Judge Made
No Such Statement
Not only did Judge Lyons vehe-
mently deny using the words
white girls" but he Immediately
produced the court reporters record
which substantiated his denial and
proved the TIMES quotation was
not accurate.
Judge Lyons Clarifies His Position
Judge Lyons, whose record has
been good in regard to handling the
various cases with interracial
aspects, told this paper, 'It was
certainly not, nor never has been,
my intention to make any distinc-
ton. I can see no difference what
soever as to whether these girls
were colored or white"
AS previously reported in the
daily press, Wilson, 81 years old,
1913 Highland, four other men and
two women were arrested two
weeks ago at the Highland Ave. adj
dress. Wilson was charged with
operating tippling house. He was
sentenced to 80 days in the work
house, which he is appealing. The
others were charged with being
found in the house. The men were
fined and the women having pre-
viously plead guilty are serving
80 day workhouse terms.
The Minneapolis TIMES angled
the story to indicate that the raid
Melted Negro men and white wom-
en- by its usual method of identi-
flying the women as white girls"
When white men are involved in
similar cases with Negro women
the TIMES makes no reference to
the color or race of the women in
volved.
Other Minneapolis daily papers
halted such race prejudice melting
practices several years ago and re-
port all stories straight, without
regard to race, creed or color.

Mrs. L. w. Harris
Service Held at
Pilgrim May 20


Scarcely an eye was dry at the
funeral of Mrs. L. w. Harris last
Sunday, May 20, held at Pilgrim
Baptist church, st. Paul, as Vesta
Phillips sang a request number,
'The Old Ship of Zon." That Mrs.
Harris was beloved by many was
also evidenced by the flowers
banked around the casket, sent
from all over the Twin Cities.
During the sermon, delivered by
Rev. Floyd Massey, Jr., pastor of
the church where Mrs. Harris hus-
band presided for II years, he
spoke of Mrs. Harris as a devout
Christian, a devoted mother and a
friend to humanity.
Mrs. Harris, along with her fam
lily, worked faithfully with Pilgrim,
through the years, and since her
husbands death, held fast their
bonds there. She organized the
Gospel chorus of which her daugh-
ter, ]. Arlee Harris, is still direc-
tor. Members of the chorus, OBJ
viously deeply grieved, were seated
following the family. Mrs. Harris
was also interested in Foreign
Missions of the Minnesota State
Baptist Association.
Rev. A. F. Martin, moderator of
the Association, presided at the
funeral. Sidney Williams was at the
organ. Carolyn Combs sang one
of the deceased's favorite hymns,
"I'm Waiting for Jesus" Other

WITH THE Sd ARMORED DIVI-
SION, Mar. 81 (DelayeG Far over
the hills before dawn today, we saw
against the overcast western horizon
flashes made by British or 9th Army
artillery.
1t was like the sight of lights on
land to the crew of an old sailing
vessel tossed on a stormy sea.
1t came at the end of weird day
and night for this armored spear
head of the 1st Army. For "a hours
we had been pushing forward
through cathedral like spruce
forests.
Cold rain was lashing our faces
like switches. We bumped over
ploughed fields and fences-the
roads were filled with thousands Of
prisoners Hundreds of them were
Russian and French slave labor re-
leased after four years. A cigarette
butt is precious find for them.
They are astounded at the COM
ing of the Americans, since they
had been told few days ago there
was no hope as the gasoline of the
American armies was exhausted
and England was in the throes of
food revolution.
This division has slaShed ruth
lessly through enemy country. Tanks
move through the towns with guns
blazing. They are led by low-fying
planes surveying the terrain.
The nearest parallel to such a
march is the covered wagon caravan
of the old West. At bivouacs DUR
ing the day the tanks form great
circle around the supply service We
hicles while the soldiers heat food
at scores of camp fires.
There is little resistance in vii
lagos handled ruthlessly. One on
hilltop was approached just at dusk.
There was sniper fire from red
rooted houses mile away. We
stopped to watch tank gun neatly
knock the roofs off the houses and
start white. PHOSPHORUS hlazes.
After a few rounds white flags ap-
peared at the windows of every
house.
Most Of the resistance, which Isl
growing as We advance, is due to
suicide bazooka teams from a pan
zer training battalion billeted in the
villages of this section.
The lashing rain stopped in the
evening and for miles this column
followed a receding rainbow. My
driver was a former Bronx truck
driver, an amateur astronomer who
called to my attention a strange
phenomenon-a bright
blush star half way up the horizon
in the west in the center of lumi-
nous white circle like a small pale
moon. The moon is rising behind
the spruces on the opposite horizon
This is doy of portents.
My driver is an example of the
extraordinary American privates of
this war. The woods are full of the
sounds of falling waters and night
birds singing. We push through
blazing town after blazing town.
Yesterday they were German rural
villages, now they are torches light
ing our way.
Long afted midnight we bivouac
in ploughed field and rest until
dawn when We breakfast on pan
cakes. such is the efficiency Of an
armored column on the march.
