Senators Take Issue
with General S Denial
OF Transport Crisis
Fronklin Tells Inquiry
That Macarthur Will
Get Supplies on Time
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The troops and weapons Gen.
Macarthur needs to intensity
the force of his blows against
Japan will reach him on sched-
ule-or ahead of it," Maj. Gen.
John M. Franklin, acting chief
of Army transportation, told the
Senate War Investigating Com
mittee today.
COMMITTEES members took sharp
issue with the general, however,
when he testified that, despite the
increased rate at which men are
being returned from Europe, there
is no crisis involved in the present
rail situation"
Gen. Franklin was reply to testi-
mony earlier this week by Col. j.
Monroe johnson, director of the
Once of Defense Transportation,
who predicted Western railroads
would be unable to meet the load
both of troop movements and essen
tial freight unless the critical man
power shortage can be met.
Troops Return to Be Slower.
Gen. Franklin told the investiga-
tors that, because the military
timetable for the defeat of Japan"
has been shortened, more shipping
will be required in the Pacific and
the return of troops from Europe
to this country, therefore, will be
slower from now on.
Two definite suggestions for reduc-
ing railroad congestion were made
to Gen. Franklin by Senators today.
Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of
West Virginia asked the Army to
consider breaking up units in France
and sending home shiploads of men
from the same geographical area,
thereby reducing troop travel be-
tween the ports of entry and the
mems homes.
Cargo Plane Use Urged.
Committee Counsel Rudolph Hal
ley requested a study of the trans
fer to this country of more than
1000 cargo airplanes, which he
said he understood are no longer
needed in Europe, and using them
to move soldiers between points
within this country.
Chairman Mead pressed his plea
that the Army officials reconsider
their stand against furloughing

LONDON, July 27.-Clement
r. Attlee plunged into work to-
day as head of Britain's first
Labor government in IA years,
which he has pledged to give top
priority to finishing the war with
Japan.
There was a general belief here
that the new Prime Minister would
return to the Big Three conference
at Potsdam during the week end.
However, it seemed likely that he
would fill at least the major cab

press speculated that he might make

the worst political defeat any major

first clear Commons majority the

Three Ask Names
Be Taken off
Pastor Petition

Three members of the Wayman
church congregation who allegedly
signed a petition asking for the
custer of the Rev. L. P. Ashford
from the pulpit, this week wanted
it known they do not want to be
involved.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reace Martin, 522
Fremont Ave. N, whose names
were included on the petition, said
that their names appeared without
their knowledge. Mrs. G. B. Gold
smith, 1139 Fifth Ave. NJ, asked
that her name be withdrawn.
The names were copied by
Thomas Langums, one of the men,
bers asking for the Ashford custer,
and according to Langums, he took
them from an original group of
petitions, copy of which was sent
to Bishop Gregg, presiding officer
of the Fourth Episcopal district.
Neither the original petitions nor
the copy of them have at any time
been submitted to this paper as
part Of the charges against Ash
ford, one of which includes alleged
misrepresentation of a ten dollar
check intended for the building
fund.
Other charges include declining
membership under Ashford's pas
torate; disregard for disciplinary
procedure in elections of officers
and boards, and low financial
status under the pastor.
Ashford has denied all charges
against him, attributing them to a
"preacher-fghting clique" Last
week Rev. William E. Guy, Presid-
ing Elder of the Northwestern
Conference of the AME church, St.
Paul district, demanded til a t
charges against Ashford be proved

He said that although the rail-
way had reserved two tables, espe-
cially for Negroes, set apart from
the others by curtain, he was not
admitted to the diner because the
tables were occupied at that time
by white persons. It had been the
railways practice, he asserted, to
use the tables for serving whites
when the remaining tables were
occupied and no Negroes asked to
be served.
Mr.. Henderson declined an offer,
he said, to be served in his Pullman
seat.
The case was remanded to the

the railway was guilty of discrimi-

on the grounds the discrimination

Judd Says
He Now FaVOrs
FEPC Passage

Washington, D. C.-Representa-
tive Walter H. Judd Of Minneapolis
made the statement this week that
he was in favor of proposed amend
ments iberalizing the FEPC bill
now pending in the United States
Congress-, but he said new devel-
opments" make it necessary for adj
vocates of the bill to show they
mean business.
The two new amendments which
Senator Joseph H. Ball of Mime
sofa revealed last week will be
added when the FEPC bill comes
up for consideration in the Senate
this month call for the exemption
of employers hiring Is or less work
ers from regulations prohibiting
discrimination on grounds of race
or religion. (The present bill ex-
empts employers of six or less per-
sons.) And broader provisions for
court review of FEPC rulings
against employers accused of violat-
ing the regulations.
at is hard to understand" Judd
had stated recently, "why some of
the most ardent advocates of the
FEPC bill are as opposed to modify
ing one single comma in it as are
it's most violent opponents" He
made the statement after he had
been extensively criticized for not
so far signing the discharge petit
ton which would have brought the
original FEPC bill out for consider
alton on the floor of the House.
He based his refusal to sign on the
theory that the bill had no chance
of passing as it was, and had no
adequate provision for thorough
judicial review of FEPC rulings.
