then cited restrictions in the army
against the use or limitation of Ne

termaster corps, and in 'the types

So long as congress leaves the mil

ued, the type and extent of discrim-
ination will depend upon the will of
the officers who are administering

This, he added, congress should not

HASTE APPEARS AGAINST

C0N5(RIpTI0N

WASHINGTON, JUNE 16
(ANP)-Noting "signs of increas-
ing distrust" in American-Soviet
= relations, and pointing to the pres
ent policy of discrimination and Sc
gregation in the armed forces, Will
lian H. Hastie appeared for the
NAACP before the Postwar Mill
tary Policy committee in opposition
to ending legislation which would
authorize peacetime military con-
scription.
Promising his early objections
upon the international phase of the
question, HASTE rejected the the
ory that 1--WE must be a greater mil
itary power than our neighbors" in
order to take independent military
action, and saw this as an inconsis-
tency in what is being attempted at
the United Nations conference in
San Fracisco.
Getting to his main thesis, Has
tie devoted the remaining time to
consideration of problems of spe-
cial Importance to Negroes. The
bill gives a "blank check" to the
army and navy, he said, and Ne
groes oppose such blanket au-

Zone of the most ridiculous and
extreme manifestations of this
practice (of segregation), Hastie
stated, "is to be found in Puerto

a system of separate colored and
white Puerto Rican units. l do not
know what test of racial identity
is applied or can be applied, but the
mere matter of practical difficulty
does not deter those who make

He concluded by stating that it is
the responsibility of congress to

that in the army and the navy the

NLRB Orders Held Binding
Even if Firm Changes Hands

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court decided today
the National Labor Relations Board
may direct its orders not only
against employers but also against
their successors and assigns.
Justice Jackson delivered the
courts 6-3 opinion Chief Justice
Stone wrote dissent in which JUS
tices Roberts and Reed concurred.
The Regal Knitwear Co, Inc.
protested to the high tribunal
against this customary practice of
the board in wording its orders
against unfair labor practices. The
phrase was used in a broad order
against Regal. The boards action
was upheld by the Circuit Court of
Appeals in New York.
Regal said there was no evidence
that it intended to lquidate, reor-
ganize or transfer its assets. The
firms rights are prejudiced, Regal
said, because the provision would
make it difficult to sell the business
to bona flde purchaser. The JUS
tice Department in reply said that
anyone who takes over business
should be bound by board orders
issued against the first owner.

PARKING LATERALLY

A very good idea which has
been advanced in connection with
parking meters Is the idea of
parking laterally on Fleming
street in the block between Duval
and Simonton streets. This would
allow great many more cars to
be parked in this block and would
make for facilitated backing in
and out. Personally | would like
to see this system extended, say
on Duval between Angela and
Eaton where you could run IN for
a few moments with your car and
make purchases, ask about mo-
vies, buy magazines, stop in at
the dime store, look over clothes
and in short run the many err
Tands necessary to the needs and
