Comments On Fact
No Negroes Won
Medal Of Honor

NEW YORK - Declaring that
President Truman has awarded the
Congressional Medal Of Honor
literally in patches" to white
heroes of the war, The Crisis
magazine remarks editorially that
it seems strange to Negro Ameri-
cans that not one out of nearly
million of their men in the services
should have won the nations high
est honor. The editorial III the
December issue entitled, mot One
Out Of a Million, follows:
Brave white heroes in our arm
ed services have been awarded the
nations highest decoration, tn e
Congressional Medal of Honor,
literally in patches by President
Truman. The Crisis would not take
one ounce of credit from these men
whose citations suggest that the
honor thev have won, high as it is,
is not adequate thanks for their
sacrifices and heroism. Yet it does
seem strange to Negro Americans
chat out of the nearly one million
of their men in the armed services
not one should have performed in
such a manner as to be cited for
the Congressional Medal of Honor"

FEPC Needed To
Prevent Clash

CHICAGO CAMP Enactment
of federal employment practice
commission law by congress is need
ed to prevent racial outbreaks on
the, west coast, according to Carey
McWilliams last week.
McWilliamS, author and lecturer
on race relations said in the Office
of the American Council on Race
relations here that racial clashes
are likely on the west coast unless
FEPC legislation is passed.
In expressing how unfortunate
it is that the federal government is
Indicating" its responsibilities for
minority groups at a time when
there is greatest need for protec-
ton of housing and job opportu-
mites, he cited a current move to
return the employment service to
the states.
He also mentioned the imminent
closing of the War Relocation au-
thority and failure Of congress to
establish q fair employment prac-
tees commission as additional proof
of how the government has for
saken minority group respcnsibili-
ties.

Mississippi
Tired Of Bilbo?

WASHINGTON amp Some
of the best news since Lee surren-
dered at Appomatox has been hint
ed at by newspapers in this city
which indicates there is powerful
opposition developing in Mississippi
against their present seat holder
in the United States senate, Theo-
dore Bilbo.
Tired of the inefficiency of "the
man" his constant imbroglios in
volving racial hatreds which do
the state no good, loyal Missis
stpians who are proud of their state
are happy to know tn 1T Condr.
Nelson T. Levigne of Gulfport is
seriously bordering giving Bilbo
some opposition IN the coming cleo
tons
Levigne has been a delegate to
three national conventions and ran
for lieutenant governor several
years ago. He is a farmer and grad
uate of the University of Virginia
and during the war served on the
U. S. S. Mississippi as flag officer.
The commander will not make

WASHINGTON - CAMP The
death rate among Negroes is 30 10
40 percent higher tn among
white persons and Negro life ex-
pectancy IS 10 to Y years shorter.
Those were among the shocking
facts on health conditions among
the Negro people given in an ad-
dress by DR.. Paul B. Cornely Of
Howard university to delegates Of
the International Workers order
alta conference on ocial security and
and health held in Washington
last week.
Other facts revealed by DIR Corne-
ly are that:
/. Twice as many Negroes die of
pneumonia and influenza tn an
whites.
2. The number of Negro physi-
clans has decreased by five percent
in the nation although the total
number of physicians in the United
States as whole has increased II
percent. Though 8 ratio of one doc
tor for over $500 persons is con
sidered essential to safeguard
health, in a state like Mississippi
there is one Negro soldier for every
1887 Negro persons and in South
Carolina, the ratio IS one to 1852.
3. In 1912, 45.7 per cent of Ne
gro live births were delivered by
n1idwives compared to only % per
cent for white mothers.
While dealing particularly with
the depIorable conditions among
the Negro people, the physician
pointed out that Negro health
problems may be considered as
merely exaggerations of the picture
of the community as q whole

1--WE cannot see how we and

ton of discrimination based on
race, color, creed or national ORR
gin, and to the preservation OF our
democracy can fail to agree with
Mr.. Houston's conclusion that your
action in the Capital Transit case
reflects a persistent course Of con-
duct on the part of the Admins
tration to give lip service to the
Importance of eliminating dlscrim-
nation in employment since VI
Day. while doing nothing TO make
the policy effective"
Urging the President to issue q
special Executive Order extending
the powers of FTEPC as he did
those of OPA and WPB, the NFCL
also asked that he use his influ-
ence and powers to see that 'the
disgraceful blocking of the FEPC
Bill CHR 2232) in the House be
ended"
Action by NFCL came after Mr..
Houston. in resigning from FEPC
stated that the agency has been
ordered by the President not to
issue its decision directing the
