u. 5. Farley Delegates
Favor Retaining Right
10 Fix Size Of Navy
BY JACK BELL,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2s.-
Strong sentiment developed within
the American delegation to the
United Nations Conference today
against giving the proposed inter-
national organization any authority
to Ak the size Of the Navy this coun-
try keeps afloat when peace comes
Chairman Connally Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee is
leading asmovement to make certain
that in the United Nations charte,
drafted here the projected security
council has no power to order dis
armaments without treaty agree
ments.
1t is Senator Connally's view that
while the security council neces-
sarily must consider disarmament
questions when it tackles the prob
lem of maintaining arms to pre-
serve peace, only the individual
countries can decide how much of a
military force they wish to keer
intact after the war.
Thinks Mistake Made in 1922.
He has said in the past that hi
thought this country made a mis-.
take when 1t agreed at the Washing
ton Disarmament Conference in 1922
to abandon some ships then afoal
and to halt construction of others or
the ways.
The Texan has told friends here
that he Is not going to agree to any
provision in the proposed league.

American decision on this vital cues.
ton. He wants strong Navy kept
af1oat. feeling that it will serve a.
a potent curb on any possible future
aggression in the Pacific.
Senator Connally's views are likeI,
to carry weight because he heads
the American group on the Security
Council Commission which will be-
gin work Monday along with the
other divisions of the conference
The disarmament question appar.
emily rests squarely with that CON-
Matter Not Yet Proposed.
Advisers are reported to have told
delegation members there
seems nothing in pending proposals
for Security Council powers which
would permit the proposed league to
order any country to scuttle ships
destroy equipment or demobilize
men. e.
But Senator Connally and some
others want this issue defined
clearly. They hold the view that
If there is to be any disarmament,
it must be accomplished by nego-
tiations between the large countries,
and written into treaties which the
United States Senate can consider.
They naturally recognize that the
countries which organize for peace
will not desire to keep their military
forces anywhere near wartime levels

gave the signal after hearing the

to celebrate.
A newsreel theater In San Fran

quickly changed it to read Ger

Northern New Jersey and the

Amusement places in Omaha and
Lincoln, Nebr., were emptied by the
report. Most persons started for

There were no major demonstra-

Negro Workers
 Gains Threatened
Although More Are Employed In Industry Than Ever Before, New Anti-Negro Discrimination Has
 Already Started, National Survey Shows

NEW YORK Although Negro em- ployment in industry was higher in l944 than ever before, Negro workers may be the first victims of postwar unemployment. This is the conclusion reached in a survey by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America.
 After relating the gains made by Negro industrial workers from 1940 to 1914, the survey quotes Lawrence A. Oxley, senior technician of the WINGS minority groups service bur eau of placement, as saying new anti-Negro discrimination has already started.
 Asserting that there is an increas- ing percentage of Negroes looking for jobs at the U s. Employment Ser vice "even in acute labor shortage areas" Oxley says the FEPC reports an increasing number of complaints of discrimination. He calls for "an adequate non-discriminatory training program"
 The role of unions in the anti discrimination fight is mentioned in the survey. It quotes the May Monthly Labor Review to the ef- feet that all new unions organized by the AFL explicitly bar racial discrimination" The CIO Commit tee to Abolish Racial Discrimination has helped in the establishment of state anti-discrimination commit

tee in IS states and 5 county and city industrial councils, the survey states. The United Auto Workers has appointed Negro to its war policy board and its education de- partment. h has encouraged the formation of committees on anti discrimination and minorities in each local.
 The customary employer prediction ot riot in the event of Negroes being hired does not pan out when manage ment really makes up its mind to hire Negroes, the survey finds.
 ''WhiIe there have been strikes in number of places over the in- trOductiOn of Negroes" it says, Gin many parts of the. country it has been found that once the plant management definitely decided to employ Negro workers and made this clear as whole, the anticipated racial difficulties did not material ize."
 More than 70 of the total labor force in war plants at the end of l944 were Negroes as compared with 3@o in January l942, the sur vey reports. The number of Negroes

New Union Wins
 In Rhode Island

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Three smashing election vic tories have given sharp inn petus to the nationwide or ganizing drive of the Office EmplOyes International Union. Paul R. Hutchings, president of the youngest A.F.L. affili- ate, announced.
 BROWNE X SHARP
 In Providence, R. l., the union scored by better than two to one in an NLRB election among office employees at the huge plant of the Browne X Sharp Mfg. Co. The vote was 717 for the A.F.L. union to BPS against.
 Again, at Quonsett, R. l., the union met an election test among office workers of the George A. Fuller Co. and the Merritt Chap man & Scott Corp, joint cOntrac- tors for a Navy base, by winning SIP to 93.
 The third election, and perhaps the most bitterly contested one, took place among the office employees of the Remington-Rand typewriter and add ing machine plant at Elmira, N. Y. Despite company efforts to placate the workers with wage adjustments just before the election, the union won 94 to B.
 Mir. Hutchings said these vic. tories have inspired the union to intensity its organizing drive with an expanded staff. For the pres. ent, the union will concentrate on firms with large numbers of office workers but it will not neglect any small groups which show desire to join.

 The Natl. Urban Leagues ques tionnaire to 300 war plants, which em- ployed few if any Negroes before the war, is mentioned in the survey. Of these, 269 located in 25 states replied they employ l00,l84 Negroe workers. "Only eight of the 26o plants indi- cated that both work rooms and com fort facilities were segregated; 20 re- ported separate comfort arrange ments," the survey says. "In the rest there was apparently no segregation" ."

Stirring Race Prejudice in Ohio

Stirring Race Prejudice in Ohio
The bitter struggle for suprem-
acy in the farm equipment industry
between the CIO unions with thou
sands of Negro members is taking
dangerous anti-Negro turn. There
have been cuttings, beatings and
some 80 odd arrests of both white
and Negro members of the two rival
unions.
The Negro angle was introduced
when a small group of Negro Har-
vester employees aided by several
Negro members of the United Auto
mobile Workers union launched
drive last week to make the Negro
himself major issue in what was
purely a fight for power between
the two unions. This is most dan
gerous development and interracial
labor relations are certain to suffer
as direct consequence.

America is the largest in the world
and contains over one and quarter
million members including some
100000 Negroes. The other CIO
contestant, the United Farm Equip
ment Workers of America, is one of
the smallest unions in the world
with considerably less than $4,000
members with approximately 5000
Negroes.
Another basic fact in the total
situation is that the farm equip
ment industry is dominated by five
large firms-International Harves-
ter, Nash-Kelvinator, Caterpillar
Tractor, Allis Chalmers, ]. l. Case
Co. and the John Deere Co. The in
dustry employs approximately 100,-
900 workers centered largely in the
middle west. What makes the indus
try particularly attractive is the
fact that it is expected to maintain
a high level of employment after
the war. When ordnance, armored
tank and aircraft plants, for exam
pie, will be shutting down, farm
equipment makers will be replacing
the thousands of tractors, harves-
ters, plows and planters, etc., which
should have been discarded three
years ago.

his company would enter the farm
