RANKIN RAISES
RED B0GEY''
IN FEp( FIGHT

WASHINGTON, May (ANP)
Dragging out the old communist
bogey in his attack on a perma-
nent FEPC, Rep. John Rankin (D)
of Miss. called the bill the "most
dangerous piece Of totalitarian leg
islation ever proposed" but heard
Rep. Vito Marcantonio (ALP) of
New York call for an end to "hys-
terical cries and smoke screens"
The two men tangled soon after
Rep. Mary Norton (D) of New
Jersey placed a discharge petition
on the desk to bring her bill out
Of the rules committee where it has
languished for two months. I'm
mediately after, there was a surge
of those who sought to affix their
signatures.
Rankin claimed that the "peace-
full, hardworking Negroes" and
"every business man" is disturbed
over the prospects of the bills pass
ing. He could see nothing but sub
versiveness as a result Of enact
ment.
Marcantonio declared "the time
has come when we must call a
spade a spade." He said that any
thing that Rankin opposes in the
form of legislation is denounced as
"subversive." The New Yorker as.
serted too that "white men who
have been fighting shoulder te
shoulder with Negroes are not 60
ing to come back here and object
to working shoulder to shoulder
with them"
Meanwhile, a small group of Ne
gro Republicans mapped out an ap
proach to members of their part!
who are either in the senate o,
house and who might exert them
selves more in behalf of the FEP(
bill.

1000 CHICAGO NEGROES
HONOR AUBREY WILLIAMS
AT MASS MEET

CHICAGO, May 3 (ANP)-Au-
brey Williams, the man who lost a
high government post because of
his fight for Negro rights, was
honored at a mass meeting here,
when more than 1000 Chicago Ne
groes gathered to cheer the direc-
tor Of the National Farmers union.
The meeting was sponsored by the
local branch Of the National Alli-
ance Of Postal workers.
Known as real friend to high
school and college youths through
out the country, Williams as NYA
administrator few years ago ex-
pressed the idea that, all youngsters,
white and Negro, should be given
an equal chance. AS head of the Ma
tional Farmers union, he has not
altered his support Of the rights
of the minorities.
Aubrey Williams is man who,
faced with the choice of abandon
ing his ideals of democracy, liberal
ism and justice to the common man
or losing the fight for the job he
wanted, chose his IDEALS" declared
Anna Arnold Hodgeman, executive
secretary of the National Council
for a Permanent FEPC.
Said Williams: 81 have not anc
will not lose faith in the common
man. You should not allow the
gains you have won under the New
Deal to slip away.
| "The Negro should never los'
hope that America will provide fol
him his rightful place in the sun
The Negro should never stop fight
ing for his rights"

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor:


The Four Freedoms Club, an or
ganization in Dayton, Ohio, is dedi-
Gated to fight unrelentingly for ma
tional and international unity; for
the full realization of victory over
the enemy; for the establishment of
a just and lasting peace, and for the
organization of prosperous, peace
full world in which the economy of
this nation shall operate to provide
jobs for all Americans. Our theme
is unity-national and international
unity.
Consequently, we are fighting
against discrimination. In Dayton,
a bailiwick of notorious Senator
Robert Taft, discrimination against
Negroes is rampant. 1t is inimical
to the achievement of the aims of
our club and is contrary to the needs
of the American people.
The Four Freedoms Club is
achieving considerable success in
uniting the people of Dayton
through breaking down discrimina-
tion against Negroes. Our recent
victory over Jimcrowism in Culp's
restaurants is case in point.
Although a statute of the State of
Ohio prohibits restaurant owners
from refusing to serve any person
because of his race, creed, or color,
Negroes had never been permitted
to eat in Culp's restaurants. The
Four Freedoms Club enlisted the
support of the local CIO unions and
the Dayton Public Service League
to fight against this undemocratic
practice. The result Of united action
by these groups is gratifying. Ne
groes now eat in Culp's restaurants
The Four Freedoms Club, there.
fore, is intensifying it's efforts to
wipe out all forms of discrimination
in Dayton, thus facilitating the
realization Of a peaceful and pros
porous world.

BOND Tells WHAT SAN FRANCISCO
CONFERENCE MEANS TO NEGROES

MACON, Ca, May 3 (ANP)-l
DR.. Horace Mann Bond, speaking
over Station WMAZ here Wednes-
day, told the listening audience
"What The San Francisco Confer
ence Means to the Negro"
"The Peace conference has more
meaning for the Negro people,"
DR.. Bond said, because Of the
death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. He
was a great man. He has already
become symbol Of hope for the
man lowest down, and so he ap-
peared to Negroes.
"The Negro people are poor and
needy, however much they may
seem otherwise in these unaccus-
toned times Of easy money and
booming wages. Many, indeed, are
appointed to the destiny Of disease,
of ignorance, and of crime, by a
chance as fixed as the very stars in
their courses. Most are dumb where
great affairs of state and policy are
determined; and they 'sorely need
men and women of righteous con.
viction who will open their mouths
judge rightously and plead the
cause of the poor and the needy
ain the coming San Francisco
conference, learned men and great
diplomats will again consider great
manifestes regarding basic human
rights; they will dispose of thu
control of great areas of the worlt
in which live millions of black peo
pie. If agreements are made lik'
that of the Asiente, Time ant
Right will take their long reveng
down through the ages. If grea
manifestes of human freedom an
liberty are set forth, as they wer
in the Congress of Vienna lawini
the slave trade, these declaration
too, and however slowly, will affec
all of us in this and later genera
tions. If colonies are disposed Of Of
the principle of selfish imperialism
as in 1919 at Versailles, everyone il
the world will sooner or later pa,
the penalty for human selfishness.

AN Open LETTER TO
DUNBAR SENIORS FROM
REV. H. LAURENCE Mcneil

Nkvs IL lAOkkNSS IukNkuh
81 am advised that many MEM
bers of this years Senior Class j
wanted to participate in the ira
ditional Mothers Day program at
the Zion Baptist Church but were
prohibited by the impression that
Dunbar Seniors were excluded. 1t /
is possible that the information is /
incorrect, if so, this letter may be
disregarded. If true however, |
should like to correct the assump-
ton that the Zion Baptist ChurCh
is discriminating against Dunbar
Seniors or any other students.
"The Dunbar Seniors Of 1914 de-
cided to withdraw from participa-
ton in the Annual Mothers Day
program because Of the institution
of the rotation plan for selecting
the chairman each year. All stu
dents agreed that it was the only
fair method Of equalizing oppor-
tunity for seniors from schools
other than Dunbar to have a
chance at the coveted chairman
ship. Dunbar Seniors voted to sub
scribe to it. After their return to
Dunbar, the Seniors advised that
they would not adhere to their
pledged word and insisted that the
question of a Chairman be left to
popular vote. AS this meant that
no other senior outside Of Dunbar
could be chairman, Dunbar seniors
!. were actually insisting on rank
discrimination against fellow SEN
!, iors.
"The Pastor of the Zion Baptist
Church had no choice but to insist
that the rotation plan remain in
/ effect. To have yielded would have
: meant that Dunbar was directing
' and controlling the program Of the
Zion Baptist Church. 1t would have
e meant that other seniors would
r have to go on from year to year
/. accepting the crumbs from Dun

Dunbar Seniors were informed that
they could withdraw if they pos
sessed no higher sense of sports
manship than was evident in their
position. This was done without
bitterness as l knew that the Sen
iors were being prompted. Left to
themselves, they would have dis
} played finer type of citizenship, /
v think.
+ "Even so, the Senior class of
Y 1945 was extended an invitation to

k ditional Mothers Day program. A

Don't skip the elbows, and

But they need something
more. Cleanliness is the
first thing, because dirt
makes hands rough faster
than anything else. Thor
ough drying after each
washing is extremely i'm
portant, and even though
you do wear gloves out
doors, hands need a layer
OF lotion, cream or oil be-
fore the gloves go on. In
fact, the lotion should al
ways be used before and
after putting your hands
in water, before and after
going outdoors.
It's q smart idea to keep

fore going off 10 sleep.

BY ROBERT ]. LEWIS.

Aubrey Williams turned back tt
his job as organization director Of
the National Farmers Union today
after testimonial dinner last night
at which his rejection as rural elec-
IRRIGATION administrator was de-
plored by Mrs. Roosevelt, Secretary
of Commerce Wallace, Senator
Aiken, Republican, of Vermont ano
other speakers.
The 54-year-oId former national
youth administrator, who started his
career rs a Birmingham ala
laundry worker at the age of and
rose to become a spearhead of the
New Deal in a decade of Govern
ment service, was hailed as "a VIC
torious symbol in a new struggle for
the common man"
Referring to the Senate's 1896
defeat of the Mr.. Williams nomina-
ton six days ago, Secretary wallace
said at the dinner given by the
Farmers Union in the Roger Smith
Hotel:
Il suspect that Aubrey's great sin
was that ne believed in the brother
hood of man and that human ero-
sion was just as great thing to
combat as soil erosion" and added !:
There are enough men in Govern
ment who appreciate his talents as
an administrator SO that Aubrey
need not worry about job in Gov
eminent If that is what he wishes"
Mrs. RoOsevelt's Stand.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she refused
to consider Mr.. Williams rejection
a defeat because 1T has just put
before the country a situation-and
every now and then we have to take
a breath and find out what is hap
pening around us, just what it is we
have to DO as people to achieve
the necessary things.
I'VE don't realize until it is forced
on us that we have to flght-we
have to fight every step of the way.
We can't leave it to others-we have
to do it ourselves.

what will take us farthest in this
country.
He knows that If we want free
dom it has to be freedom for every
body. If we believe in justice it has
to be justice for all. If we believe
in the Constitution it must be every
body's Constitution. believe we can
celebrate in victory tonight because
every time the people are aware of
situation they are that much
ahead"
Senator Aiken Speaks.
Senator Aiken, one of four Re-
publican Senators who supported
Mr.. Williams nomination by Pres
ident Roosevelt, said that he would
consider it a privilege to vote for
him again.
When we undertake to do these
things for the people think we
should rise above partisanship,
Senator Aiken said, referring to his
own vote.
They call him visionary. But
I know that man is often called
a visionary by his enemies and
r-sighted' by his friends"
Turning to Mr.. Williams, he said:
I'm glad you had the courage to
stand up and fight when you knew
the cards were stacked against you"

Wallace, Mrs. Roosevelt AssoiI
Vote on Williams at Dinner

| Mr.. Williams, tall, dark haired
ALBANIAN, said that speaking en-
tirely impersonally," he believed his
defeat was part of the general
struggle for better life for our
people that started back under
Theodore Roosevelt.
Il think we've made a lot of
progress since then. And I don't
believe we merit the charge that
we are visionary. When they call
our side of the track visionary it
gets under my skin. When Presi-
dent Roosevelt improves the lot of
the common people that's hard,
practical common sense. The steps
had to be good, they had to be
right"
Will Take Back Nothing"
Mr.. Williams said he deeply ap-
preciateS the testimonial and the
efforts of the Senators who fought
for his confirmation, and said, re-
ferring to the Nations economic
system: Il certainly take back Moth
ing have ever said about its weak
nesses, its injustices, its splits at
