The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-05-07

"The Negro in America has an
unprecedented opportunity in this
conference on a world security or
ganization, to lift his sights to en-
compass world view of the prob
lens of peace and to think in unison
with the representatives of 46 ma
tions on the most effective means OF
settling national differences, of ad-
Indicating national and interna-
tional grievances justly and equit-
ably.
"This opportunity challenges the
Negro, not only to broaden his per-
sonal viewpoint, but to establish on
a firmer basis the elevation of his
own status here in America"
In a challenging talk aimed at
those Negroes as we'll as whites
advocates for justice for colonials,
and other racial and religious min
orities-who fill meeting places
about the bay area with speeches
solely confined to the special needs
of some one or more small groups
of the worlds two billion inhabit-
ants, Mrs. Bethune declared:
Through this conference, the
Negro becomes closely allied with
all the darker races of the world,
but more Importantly, he becomes
integrated into the structure of the
peace and freedom of all people,
everywhere the darker people
are no longer a numerical minority
One of the big questions of the
conference will be how to set up
machinery for the inclusion of all
small and dependent peoples whose
status is undetermined, yet whose
voice is needed in clinching a dur
able peace.
''It is heartening and unique that
we are, in contrast to the pattern OF
all previous wars, striking boldly
while yet in the agony and suffer.
ing of war torn world, for the de.
sign of lasting peace"
Sharing the conference with Mrs
Bethune was Atty. James B. Cashir
of Chicago, who recently returned
from a trip to Africa.

three Negro newspapermen who
made the trip at the invitation OF
the late President Roosevelt, sale

Unable in that it denies the opportun-

here The question is the man has
a vision the courage, and the desire
to do something for his people. IL
connection with this, he is willing to
pioneer and endure the laughs, GIBBS,
insults and derisions Of the highly
educated Negroes while doing So.
The fact remains that with the five
passenger plane Hawkins can make
money flying people back and forth
between Washington and Philadel-
phia, or Washington and Richmond,
Virginia, which shows that the ven
ture is not entirely a pipe-dream.
Had Charley Houston and the
others seen the thing in its proper

jump in and help the man set up the

help him raise the funds necessary

Some day Negroes will wake up and
get rid Of a lot Of excess baggage
in high places and go ahead by leaps
and bounds as a result OF the re-
pressions this natural inclination has
been placed under by Ntgroes who
purport to lead and speak for the
best interest of the group.
To show how basically sound Haw
kins' plan is, we a quote from the
New York Daily Mirror of January
10th, in which Charles Lo Piccolo'
general manager of the Packard
Plane Service, announced at its Os-
shining Headquarters that it expects
to start its air commuter service in
the Metropolitan area about March

1t is almost certain that, at the end
of the war, this country and, in fact
the whole world will embark on
mass production Of planes of all typ
es, revolutionizing almost overnight
the ordinary transportation as we
know it today. Heliocopters, small
sea planes, cabin cruisers, Fairchild
: GAS, and other cabin planes on float
| will criss-cross the country with a
greater network of transportation
setups than wei before or ever
! before or
dreamed of by Jules Verne.
In the New York era, for exam
pie, Metropolitan Anyways plans four
main lines operating out Of Manhat-
tan to-Stanford through New Roch-
ellie and Port Chester; to White
Plains through Yonkers; to Newark
through Jersey City. and to Hemp

maintained between Manhattan and

current contribution, or Immediately
pending contribution to the war eff
fort is so great that induction at this
time cannot be accomplished prudent

Since industry and business have

On January 1, there were 1915 such
Nebraska r~egistrants, and selective
service is contemplating the induct-
ion of 1000 Of them.
MEN AGES 80 THRU 37--Since
the acute need Of the armed forces
is foo young men, capable Of the
highest degree Of efficiency under
battle conditions, Nebraska selective
service is counting upon men, ages
80 through 81, to make tseir contri-
| button to the war effort by working
in civilian activities essential to the
war effort rather than by serving in
! the armed forces. Therefore, Ne
braska selective service wants its
men, ages 30 through 81, who are al
ready working in essential a%ctivit-
les, such as war plants and agricul-
ture, to stay on the jobs they now
have so long as there is a recognized
need for their services Nebraska
sclective service wants lis men, ages
80 through 81, who are not now en-
gagged in essential work to shift to
essential work as rapidly as possible
by obtaining proper clearance thru

vice and their selective service
local boards, or, in the case of agri-
culture, by obtaining proper clear
ance through the county agricultural
agent, or his representative, in the
area where the farm is located, and
their selective service local boards.
For men, ages 80 through 81, who
are in essential work and refuse to
stay there, and for those who are
not in essential work and refuse to
get there, selective service has moth
ing but induction to offer. 1t is es-
timated that during the first six
months Of this year, there will be
1000 registrants. ages 80 through 81
who will be indicted for general
military service. This does not in
clude sob jumpers who do not
qualify for general military service
but who will be indicted for service
other than of the general military
service category.

The Great Gameof Politics
Elliott Seen Stirring Fresh Resentment
By Reported SIS, 900 Bid for Radio Station
Ies--if he could not pay any

Mr.. Jones-if he could not pay any
one else.
And there Is another interesting
question-as to how much the In
ternal Revenue Department should
be concerned about this SITS 900.
The department permitted Mr..
Hartford to deduct his $196 900 loss
from his tax. Presumably others
who lost the money they loaned
Elliott made similar deductions.
But the department did not compel
Elliott to pay income tax on the
moneys he gained through these
loans, the theory being that he had
lost it all in his business and was
broke.
If now he turns up with SIS, 900 it
would seem the business of the
department to inquire about it. Is
this income? Was 1t a loan or a
gift? If the Broadcasting state
ments are true, Elliott should ex-
plain to the department and to the
public-and, it would seem, pay a
tax. If they are not true, it would
seem in his interest to deny them.
In all this unpleasant story of
Elliott's loans and settlements one
fact continues to protrude-some-
body owes the Government. And up
to date nobody has paid the Gov
ernment. The rich men from whom
Elliott borrowed deducted their losses
from their income tax. Elliott GER
tainly lost nothing.
The only losers are Mr.. Jones,
who Strengthened things out" at a
personal cost of s4,500, and the
Government. which means all the
other taxpayers.

properly, but there are fewer who
don't have a funny feeling UP their
backs and down their necks when
the old song is played.
It was written in a rough hour.
Francis Scott Key was strictly ex-
posed to shot and shell when he did
the song about the stars and stripes.
He was overage. He saw those lovely
colors, above the hell of war, and
put down what he felt.
That song has been sung in most
of our wars. It has inspired men. 1t
has LED them on to do things that
men don't like to do. 1t was played
over the crosses at Gettysburg. 1t
was played over the crosses in Cuba.
1t was played over the crosses in
Flanders. And, not so long ago. it
was played over the fresh, white
crosses OF Africa, Italy Germany,
and the far reaches of the Pacific.
