NEW YORK.-The Post Office
Department has ruled that letters
to which are affixed the no-dis-
Observation-Disclosures stickers
of the March on Washington Move
ment will not be accepted for mail
ing.
The Department says the brown
and white stickers, which bear on
their face a photograph of Negro
locomotive fireman and the words:
"For Jobs and Justice" are con-
troversial.
But the office of Ramsey S.
Black, Third Assistant Postmaster
General, which took THE action,
added yesterday in Washington
that it objected neither to the
photograph of the Negro or the
quoted words. According to a
spokesman of the Department, its
fire was drawn by the phrase:
"March on Washington Movement"
which appears at the bottom of the
2x% inch stamp.
The March on Washington Move
ment, whose national director is A.
Philip Randolph, president of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por-
tiers, AFL, is chiefly known for it's
picketing last year of the New York
offices of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Co. in protest against the
company's policy of segregation in
its housing developments and its
alleged discriminatory employment
practices. The movement is now
busy organizing the estimated
100000 Negro policyholders in the
U. S. A. It has no present plans
for an actual march on the Capital.

Roosevelt Makes
No Mention OF
FEPCm Message

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NNPA)
Roosevelt, in his mes
sage to Congress on the State OF
the Union, failed to mention the
blight upon the war effort of dis
elimination in employment oppor-
tunities which impedes the war, and
failed to mention the need for a
Permanent FEPC which he has said
he favors. In this regard, the mes
sage proved keen disappointment
to Negroes throughout the country
who were looking forward to the
Presidents vocal, fortnight sup
port of the pending legislation IN
Congress for the creation OF a
Permanent FEPC.
The nearest the President came
in his message to endorsing the
pending legislation was in the fol-
lowing passages: can enduring
peace cannot be achieved without
a strong America-strong IN the
social and economic sense as well
as in the military sense.
"In the State of the Union mes
sage last year, 1 set forth what l
considered to be an American eco
nomic Bill of Rights.
81 said then, and I say now, that
these economic truths represent a
second bill of rights under which a
new basis of security and pros
perity can be established for all
REGARDLESS of station, race, or creed.
"Of these rights the most funda-
mental, and one on which the fulfill
ment of the others in large degree
depends, is the right to a useful
and remunerative job in the in
dustries or shops or farms or mines
of the nation -.
"The Federal Government must
see to it that these rights become
realities-with the help of States,
municipalities, business, labor and
agriculture"

sentative Rankin's attack against
him contained in a letter by Rankin
to Mississippi editor in which he
said he would not permit Powell to
sit beside him gin the House of Rep
resentatives-or anywhere else,"
and terming PowelPs election to
Congress "the worst thing that
could happen to the members of his
race"
Powell declared: GAS far as de-
mocracy is concerned, Rankin is a
political degenerate. He is a lead
er of American fascism. His pres
ence in the House is most serious
obstacle in America in winning a
peoples war or a peoples peace.
"He does not represent the best
or the majority of the South, even
in his own congressional district.
I am hoping Rankin will not sit by
me because that makes it mutual.
The only people he is qualified to
sit by are Hitler and Mussolini.
"His recent Observation-Disclosures
move in making the former Dies
committee permanent was typical
of the method used by Hitler in the
Reichstag. A recently appointed
committee on un-American activi-
ties should investigate Rankin first.
He and his minority lead America
in illiteracy and mass murder
lynching. And that is unamerican-
ism.
eff Rankin is not afraid of me,
I dare him to suggest my name for
membership in the new witch hunt
committee"
Veteran news men on Capitol
hill say this is the first time any
one has ever called Rankin down
publicly. One of the wire serv-
ice reporters says he has been wait
ing many year to hear it.
Powell is seriously considering
answering Rankin from the floor of
the House tomorrow on a point of
personal privilege as a result of
Rankin's attack on him.

RANKIN, through McALPlN
a smooth parliamentary maneuver
and with the cooperation of large
number of Republicans, put over
an amendment on the very first day
of the new session changing the
rules of the House to make the
thought-to-be-dead Dies Commit
tee one of the Standing Committees
of the House with power to intro
duce legislation. The vote was POT
to 1876. This means the Dies Com
mittee will not have to come up for
authorization each year as in the
past, but will be a continuing COM
mittee like the Appropriations
Committee, the Foreign Relations
Committee, the Ways and Means
Committee, etc.
On the Senate side, 1 talked with
Sen. Robert Taft, leader of the Re-
publicans, and the man behind
whom most of the Republicans fol-
low. wanted to know his position
on legislation for a permanent
FEPC, which his party had stressed
so much during the campaign for
President after including plank
calling for such an agency in its
platform.
1 had from very good source that
Taft-now that the election was
over, his side had lost, and he was
in for 6 more years-had become
lukewarm about permanent FEPC
legislation. I had been told that he
felt the present bills were 'too in
elusive; that passage of such a
bill would cause riots and blood
shed; that every Negro, Jew and
Catholic refused job could sue
the employer for back pay if the
pending bills became law.
In our conversation, he practical
ly verified these reports. He said:
81 am not ready yet to say what
position I will take on Permanent
FEPC or what kind of a bill I will
support. I have been studying the
question. I will support one, but
l don't know whether 1 will support
one of the bills presented. .
at seems to me to establish a
principle in American life which
is contrary to what we have had.
I don't know when will be in posi-
ton to state what kind of bill I
will support. I have been trying
to work out something. But right
now we are so busy with the re-
organization of the Senate I haven't
had time to give it."
Yet the eyes of men like Van
denberg, Ball, Burton, Ferguson,
Reed and Austin are turned toward
Taft for the signal of what they
should do on Permanent FEPC.
1t looks as if the Negroes and
other minority groups will have to
see that the fires of the Political
Action Committee spread to a few
other forests and consume the dead
wood unless the trees show some
signs of budding and leafng by
Spring.
Men who forget campaign prom
Uses should not be forgotten by
voters!

G. P. & Rankin
Perpetuate Dies
Committee On US.

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
The bombshell dropped in the
House of Representatives on it's
opening day of the 10th Congress
by Rep. John Rankin (D) of Mis-
sissippi, amending the rules of the
House to make the Dies Committee
on Un-American Activities a regu-
lar Standing Committee, is still
having it's reprecussion in the ma
TONS capital and on the Hill.
Whether the new committee will
carry on as "witchhunting expe-
dition" as it did under former Rep.
Martin Dies is the subject of specu-
lation. How to nullify the effects
of the "smart, parliamentary ma
neuver" by which Rankin outwitted
the administration forces is being
discussed at bars, in cocktail
lounges, in government offices and
at the Capitol.
The key to the activity of the
committee will be in the man select
ed as chairman and in the member
ship, which will be named by the
Democratic and Republican mem
bers of the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House. Except for
the Republican members of that
committee, whose Party colleagues
gave two-thirds of the vote by
which the Rankin amendment was
carried, the Ways and Mean Com
mittee is under administration con-
troll.
Rep. Charles LaFollette, (R. of
Ind.), in commenting on the House
action in approving a permanent
Dies Committee, declared: "The
stealing of elections, the mainte-
nance of monopolies, the discrimina-
ton against economic opportunities
of citizens because of race, creed
or color, and the maintenance of the
poll tax are just some of the I'M
American activities which the sup
porters of this amendment might
first attempt to eliminate through
the existing standing committees
and legislative principles before
starting out on another witch
hunt"
The Rankin amendment to the
House rules was passed by a roll
call vote of POT to 1876, after having
lost on a division vote by 1874 to
LAG. Both the Negro Congressman,
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.,
(D) of New York, and Rep. Will
liam L. Dawson (D) of Illinois,
voted against the proposal. The roll
call vote showed 1877 Republicans
and 70 Democrats (mostly from the
South), for the amendment; and
$50 Democrats, 81 Republicans and
members of minor parties voting
against it.
Passage means the Dies Com
mittee will not have to come before
the House each year for authorize
ton nor appropriation. 1t is a stand
ing committee like the Appropria-
lions Committee, the Committee on
Accounts, the Ways and Means
Committee, the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, etc. It will have the
power and authority to submit leg
islation to the House for action.
The old Dies Committee will be
remembered for having attempted
to pin the label of Communist" on
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune, Judge
William HASTE, DR.. Robert G.
Weaver, Willard Townsend, Ros-
coe Dungee, and other Negro lead
ers; and for it's attempts to smear
the Political Action Committee of
the CLIO with Communist charges.
