ference the other day, Willard
Townsend, president of the United
Transport Service Employees
(CIO), got confused while making
speech and said, in effect, that
passage of the permanent FEPC
legislation was not necessary. What
he meant to say was that if the
conference solved the issue, the
legislation would be unnecessary.
He had to go back to the speakers
stand and clarity his remarks.
Lemuel Foster, race analyst in
the industrial personnel division,
Army Service Forces, War Depart

ings of the homegrown disciples of
egro-Ethiopian kinship. But the
damage had been already done.
Every Negro who thought about
it considered himself an Ethiopian,
if not in appearance, at least at
heart.
A possible explanation was the
coarseness of the Ethiopian's hair
and the blackness of his skin, al
though Halle Selassie looks more
white than Negro.
You know the story: the Italians
were the first to quit World War
II and Ethiopia reverted back to
Halle Selassie. At the same time,
you may have overlooked the fact
that in the queer politics they play
in the world arena, Halle Selassie
is now offering his country to the
displaced Belgians who, further
South in Africa, have the worlds
worst record for exploiting most
ruthlessly and inhumanly the de-
fenseless native millions of the
Belgian Congo.
He is also offering the facilities
of his country to the homeless
Dutch who are right now using all
the weapons and methods of modern
warfare to kill Indonesians who are
only asking them to give them the
freedom of their own homeland. He
is throwing open the doors of Eth
opia to other exploiters of Negro
and colored peoples. He is offering
them what he has yet to offer the
American Negroes who rallied to
the Ethiopian cause, although it
was against the laws of the land of
their birth. Indeed, the Ethiopian
viewpoint seems decidedly in favor
OF whites as against Negroes.
That is why we here should do
some sober thinking on the whole
question of international relation
ships with colored peoples of India,
Ethiopia, China, the Philippines,
etc. Until they come out of their
shells and acknowledge blood kim
ship with US and a common aim with
no holds barred, we are frankly a
bunch of damned fools to scatter
the little we have in material wealth
and political strength to those who
do not intellectually solicit it.

TO PROVIDE a maven Tor the non
white Europe.
"The problem of yesterday was
the prosecution of the war;" the
Emperor's message read. "Ethio-
pia has contributed countless lives
as we'll as territory and materials
to that end. One of the most Sc
rious problems of today is that of
the homeless and displaced fam
lilies. Ethiopia afforded refuge to
many homeless from southern Eu-
rope, particularly from Greece and
is prepared to continue her con-
tribution. She anxiously seeks,
within the measure of their capac-
tiles, to broaden the scope of her
collaboration and assistance in the
attainment of the detectives of col
lective security and peace founded
upon justice"
It is significant that the ruler
of an African nation should offer
his country to the alienation of
European suffering. 1t is signif-
cant that one of the first nations
to be the victim of fascist terror
ism and exploitation should now be
turning the other cheek to prove
by example that after all, there are
some people in this crazy world of
ours who believe in right and in
justice. But somehow it doesn't
quite jell with this column.
I remember vivid circumstances
of 1857 in Ethiopia's resumption
of the world spotlight in which
American Negroes at long last be-
lieved in the "fatherland" of all
Negro people. Then, if it will be re-
called, Ras Tafari as Halle Selas-
sic was known before he took over
the throne of the Lion of Judah
organizations, clubs, societies, and
movements were begun by enthusi-
astic American-Negroes based on
the assumption that the Ethio-
plans regarded themselves as
Negroes and were finally, after
all these centuries, Stretch
ing forth" their hands to
themselves as Negroes and were
finally, after all these centuries
stretching forth" their hands to
their black brothers, wherever they
were. They made Ras Tafari En-
peror of the North African empire
and then in rapid succession came
the incidents involving Ethiopia and
Italian Somaliland, Mussolini's
mouthings and finally the Italian
invasion of Ethiopia which opened
the way for World War II.
Thousands of dollars were COL
lected from American Negroes to
aid the Ethiopian cause. Minor
riots took place between Negroes
and Italians here in the States over
the issue. But deeper than that was
the conviction we all had that in
Ethiopia, the American Negro had
finally been given his own Zion, a
black Zion in which, some day, we
would all reunite to at last estab-
lish the kinship of black peoples
in this world. Well, it didn't work
out that way.
AS 1 recall it, it was bit hard
to get any definite statement of
kinship between the Ethiopian and
the American Negro out of Adds
Ababa.
Instead, the Ethiopians pronounc-
ed most firmly that they were not
Negroes, had little interest in "Ne-
gro Problems" and let it be known
that they regard themselves as
Semitic in thought, in ideal and
by descent.

ATOMIC POWER
Scientific American)


 New that the first burst of enthuSasm-misguded and oherwise-regarding atomic power has Slmmered down somewhat, it seems appropriate to scan briefly some Well-founded opinions on the subject.
 At recent meeting of the American Society of Me- chanical Engineers, members of the Gas Turbine Coor dinating Committee rendered preliminary report on atomic power. Looking upon atomic energy as an add- tion to the worlds supply of fuel the committee goes record as saying Tt is felt that atomic power certainly will not replace present fuels but will supplement them as oil supplements coal" They look forward to the pos sibility of power plan units abou 0OO kiloWattS) wherein both the gas and turbine utilized in the same plant, using both present fuel and atomic power to achieve the greatest efficiency.
 Because the heat evolved in atomic fiSSOn offers intriguing lure to the power engineer the Gas Turbine Committee warns Possibility exists also that radio active byproducts of the atom-Spltting process might make the air unusabe in gas turbine. It appears from this consideration that Semi-cloSed cycle might be preferred using the heat created but eliminating the dO-actiVe by-productS from the gas turbne.
 All informed sources stress two important aspects O atomic power: Cost of material and time Of develop ment. Cost will undoubtedly be extremely high for years come and the necessary development work will pursue long and arduous path Thus to central power stations railroads, and other businesses in which the generation of power is of extreme importance, General Electric engineers put it this way Were sponsble for conducting the affairs of such organza tions would go right ahead with plans for the years the basis of presen-day commercially available sources of energy namely coal oi and water power Only research and development proceed shall learn the limitations and possible practical commer cial applications of nuclear power
