DIXIE AIMS GUNS
AT Rep. POWELL

w A S HIN CT O N, Mar. %
(ANP) - Congressman Adam c.
Powell, Jr., 3D., N.Y. has drawn
criticism from the southern press
for his uncompromising champion
ship Of equal rights for Negroes.
An editorial in the Savannah (Ga.)
News last week, took the fiery New
York representative to task for his
recent demand that Negroes be
represented at the San Francisco
united national conference.
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-03-28

Said the editorial in part: "The
Morning Neacs possesses deep re-
spect for men of the Negro Ga
small IN" was used by the Neacs.-
Ed. } race Of the mental caliber and
professional status of Rep. Powell,
but the sophistry of his stand is
that he breaches social equality for
his race, which embodies the idea
the Negro citizen being incorporat-
ed into the body polite without ia
vortism on the one hand-and then
turns around and demands special
racial favoritism for his group on
the other"
The editorial advised Powell to
emulate a distinguished member
of his race, the late Brooker T.
Washington, who preached that So
cial equality is too burdened with
complications and with racial diff
ferences to be an objective of the
members of his race"

Powell Wants Joe
To Be A Captain

w A > II N u / y N Mar. ZS
(ANP)-At least captaincy for
S/Sgt. Joe Louis Barrow, world
heavyweight boxing champion, was
urged by Rep. Adam Clayton Pow
ell in spite of flat rejection for
commission for the champion by
Secy. of War Stimson.
Powell urged sports fans, sports.
editors and citizens to write to
President Roosevelt and Stimson
asking them to consider Mr.. Louis
for a commission of at least the
grade Of captain"
Stimson rejected the idea of a
commission for Joe on the basis of
instructions he gave in October of
1943. In his letter to Rep. Powell,
he said he discontinued all direct
appointments in the army except
to rare categories of individuals
such as pilots, doctors, chaplains
and dentists.
''It has been our consistent policy
since these instructions were is
sued," Stimson pointed out, 'to
commission direct only those in
dividuals who possess skills urgent
ly needed in a commissioned capa-
city which cannot be obtained with
in the present officers corps. We
are now relying almost exclusively
upon our officer candidate schools
to meet our officer needs"
Stimson implied that breaking
the policy for Joe "can strive only
to shake the confidence of our SOL
diers in the integrity Of our pro-
cedures," but Powell said:
''Mr. Louis has always gone out
of his way to do the fair and demo-
cratic thing for all peoples.
Through his public appearances
hundreds of thousands of dollars
found their way into the Golfers of
the army and navy relief fund"

NEGRO WRITERS IN
LATIN AMERICA
CLASSIFIED AS White

NEW YORK, Mar. % (ANP)
prominent writer's in Lat
in America who would be consid-
cred Negroes if they lived in the
United States, are generally con-
sidered white in Latin America,
said Langston Hughes here in his
lecture, 'The Negro Writer in the
West Indies and Latin America"
Mr.. Hughes was speaking in the
weekly services, "a World View
of the Negro Question, sponsored
by the Schemburg collection of the
New York Public Library.
Drawing heavily on his own
travels in Mexico and the West In
dies, Mr.. Hughes was able to de-
scribe many writer's, who from all
appearances are Negroes, yet, who
think of themselves as white. '"The
color line seems to work in reverse
down in Latin America said Mr..
Hughes, "in that up here one drop
of Negro blood seems to be enough
to make Negro whereas in Latin
America one drop Of white blood
seems enough to make man
white" ("
After these preliminary explain
ations the speaker gave a rapid
survey of the works of Negro writ
ers like the great Machado de Assis
of Brazil, Nicolas Cullen of Cuba
and jacques Roumain of Haiti. In
the British West Indies were many
important Negro writer's, some of
whom like Claude Mckay had come
to the United States. Mr.. Hughes
read published and unpublished
poems of several authors.
| The meeting was enlivened by a
speech in French of the Haitian
author, Renee Piquoin, who was in
the audience; by the comments of

VINO T0SSES PROBLEM BACK IN 0MPANP'S LAP
COMPANY FAILS TO ENFORCE
ULTIMATUM IN STRIKE

In series OF meetings placing
the blame in someone else's lap,
the Kurz-Kash strike, now in it's
sixth day, was tossed back at the
company by the War Manpower
Commission. Meanwhile the ma
chimes and plant which had been
putting out vital parts for B-29
bombers still were idle.
Yesterday company officials
blamed the VINO for the strike.
However, the company has failed
to enforce it's ultimatum of dis
charging all striking workers and
replacing them with other workers,
H. Glenn Johnson, acting head of
the VINO reported.
The Army has taken hands
off, policy in the strike claiming
it is only a customer of the COM
pany and can do nothing about it.
R. F. Young, company secretary
and attorney, stated that if the
VINO would refer qualified work
ers they could be put to work. He
said it was doubtful whether the
VINO would do this.
"The hiring of women in Dayton
since last September has not had
to be handled by USES, but Kurz-
Kash requested us, prior to March
1, to be sole referral agent for
women to their plant.
"Since last Friday, five persons
have been sent to Kurz-Kash and
either refused to take job when
they saw the situation, or didn't
go at all.
Johnson said the first charge
against Kurz-Kash of racial dis
elimination was in October, 1943.
There have been recurring in
stances of the company's refusal
to hire qualified workers because
they were not white, he added.
Johnson said the Army, War
Production Board and VINO last
December agreed to withhold re-
ferral of non-whites to Kurz-Kasf
for 60 days SO procurement agen.
cies could get "hot" contracts out
and place them elsewhere.
The 60 days expired late in Feb
ruary and at a second meeting Of
the Minorities Groups COMMITTEES
it was voted that, as of March l
referrals would be resumed to the
company on the basis of no racia
discrimination.
The company has tried to estab
lish an educational program for in
tegration of Negroes into the plant
Young declared. Last August, wher
referrals were cut off by VINO anc
production declined, his company
was told by Johnson that integra
ton of Negroes was more impor
tant than war production, Young
said.

"buzz-bombs" in addition to secre
materiel for the armed forces.

the Soviet police IN repflsalS.
Furthermore. Poland will be forced to face
a hopeless economic stuation-as offered by
the Lubhn Soviet team.
There will be a great shortage OF 1000
indictments and clothing, especially IN view
Of the fact that the help of UNRKA is oarreu
IN Poland by the Soviets
VNHE viewpoint of the Polish people was
evidenced when Stanislaw MikoaJczyk
influential Polish peasant party recently de-
nounced the Polish Lubn government as
threat to Allied unity and "usurper of prlvl-
leges and functions belonging TO a recognized
authority
The only and real solution of the Polish
situation is the recognition of the constltu-
tionally established Polish government-in-
exile and to give the people of Poland an
opportunity to pick its rulers at free election
without the coercion of Soviet Russia and the
Lubn team
The controversies which have arisen be
tween ,eke Soviet Union and the people OF
Poland and the other democratic countries
should not be settled by force, unilateral dec-
sions or political coercion.
ONE of the principal aims of this war Is to
" establish an international organization
before which just disputes can be settled
according to international moral principles.
Americans as the torchbearers Of liberty.
cannot support any policy which, in the Rus
sian Interpretation, would encourage the
Soviet Union to seize land and men II does
not need.
Even the fimsy preteXt that Russia Is
forced to absorb her neighboring countries IN
order TO insure herself against future German
aggression does not hold in view of the fact
that all the United Nations, at the end of
this war will make Germany impotent mill
taristically.
A s AMERICANS plead no-only-fnr
"A the righteous cause of our devoted ally,
Poland but also for bithuana, Latvia, ts-
tonia. the Balkan countries and all the other
small nations who are being deprived by
strong neighbor of the right TO choose their
own governments and fashion their own
destinies.
The bogus governments imposed upon
these nations by Russia are only scheme to
rob the people of their liberties and Of their
territories. If Russia refuses to grant basic
liberties to her own people, how can she be
expected TO carry the banner of freedom to
the countries occupied by her in her march
to Berlin?
WE DO not, in any way, belittle the Rus
w sian victories but, at the same time,
our American instinct for justice and equity
cannot permit us to sanction the division Of
Europe into masters and slaves.
If we permit tyranny to triumph over
Justice in Europe, we will prepare with our
own hands, the graves of our children Any
retreat from our war detectives, outlined in
the Atlantic Charter, would be death blow
to the peace of the world
For free America here, there must be
a free Europe abroad.
