Texans Seek Home
For Fallen Girls

AUSTIN, Texas, amp The
Texas Social Welfare association
has included in the legislature pro-
gram it is sponsoring this year an
effort to secure an adequate train
ing program for delinquent Negro
girls. AS is true in several other
southern states, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia and South Carolina,
for example. the ColOred Fedora
ton Of Women's Clubs laid the
groundwork for the establishment
of such schools. The colOred club
women resented deeply the fact
that while protective care was
thrown around white girls who had
fallen by the Wayside, colored girls
were consigned to prison among
older offenders and they raised
funds and sought means to eStab
liSh homes.
The legislature in Texas II years
ago passed a bill authorizing the
construction of such school but it
has never done anything about it,
nor made any appropriation for it.

Clio Hits Jim
Crow Pamphlet
OPA Scored For
Special Release

WASHINGTON - (ANP)-The
Clio has registered firm objection
TO the preparation of a special
pamphlet for Negroes by the Office
of Price administration it is
learned The objection was first
voiced by George L. p, Weaver, adj
miniStratiVe ASST tant to the Clio
Committee on Discrimination.
1.-The only Justification for use
of separate Negro materials by any
government agency is special,
specific problem, according to
Weaver There seems to be little
evidence that will prove that COM
pliance to OPA regulations in Ne
gro areas is less than that in white
communities.
Weaver found ready support for
his position from Willard S. Town
end, member of the committee and
resident of the United Transport
service employees In a letter to
Miss Frances Williams. racial re-
lations advisor for OPA, Townsend
wrote that "transplanting patterns
of racial identity simply lends sup
rort to the perpetuation in govern
ment of a special emphasis of the
Negro, which means isolating him
from the overall problems of the
citizens of America and leaving
him q ready target for the forces
Of reaction"

WASHINGTON - (ANP) - The
war department was not prepared
to say last week which units in
Europe are going to be deployed
to the fighting in the far east, nor

Perhaps the largest outfit of Ne

the Goth infantry regiment and
one with the 38th infantry regi-
