New Car Now On Drawing Board To Be Lightweight, Low Price Job

While you're plodding along the corn-plaster circuit you may dream of that snappy car you're going to drive when you pull off the GI shoes for good. We'll, chum-the automobile industry (which has a certain interest in seeing that you buy Sone of those machines) is working on that same dream.
 Providing something tangible that you can be saving for, a large company in the low-price field is planning a new model that will cost about $500. This contemplated car is to be a full-size job with all the built-in conveniences.: Greater use of light metals and conserVa- ton of space through careful de- sign would enable it to do 28 to 30 miles on a gallon.
 One reason for the proposed new moderately-priced model is the ex- pectation that cars of the pre-war

Early Wednesday morning that busy long-billed bird circled three times over the Hartford Hospital before coming in for landing with it's precious cargo. Spring 1945 beat Miss Nancy Jean Gore by only few hours. Capt. Maurice Cores pride and joy tipped the beam at seven pounds, six-and-a- half ounces on her arrival. All three, the Cap tain, Mrs. Gore and baby Marcy Jean are reported as "doing very nicely, thank you".

type will be selling at prices above their former levels.
 To get the buyers viewpoint on "cars to come," a questionnaire has been put out for the Society of Automotive Engineers, and the response has been something like the breaking of dam. Foot-weary and truck-cramped GIs probably will echo the sentiments of some Army men who demand that head room and leg-room should not be sacrificed for high-speed stream lining.
 Among the more novel replies was an idea for cooling system with possibly even a cold-Water fountain that could be easily in- stalled. For winter driving, one soldier suggested sand-spreader such as those now in use on loco motives, to provide greater traction when necessary. <.

Nearly $4O0 goes for tuition, books and fees. Soldiers eligible to attend college under the CT Bill of Rights will have no worries on this score because the Bill provides for payment of tuition up to $500 for the ordinary school year. This in cludes textbooks and other sup plies.
 The CT Bill will also take care of the greater part of the $500 needed for room and board. A soldier with out depeidents gets $50 month for subsistence, or $400 for the school year.
 This leaves about $100 that will have to be made up by the student.
 In other years high school gradu- ates planning to start college often worked a year to save enough to pay part of their expenses. Today Army men can set aside money for school expenses by systematic sav- ings through Soldiers Deposits, War Bonds or Class E Allotments.
 The $900 average cost for a school year is a rock-bottom figure and does not include what will be spent for items such as clothing, dates, cigarets and trips.

Last week the Shipping and Re- ceiving Department of the Air craft Maintenance Branch came into the limelight again. This de- partment forms small League of Nations" because every person working there is of different na- tionality-namely, a SWede, Wes- ley Wind, Czech, Franklin Navra- til, a Pole, Stanley Bukowski, and an Italian, Thomas Basile. Last Saturday being St. Patrick's Day, most: of the Irish wore something green. These boys went further than that by decorating their de- partment exclusively with "Irish Green". It's really remarkable to see such coordination and friendii- ness as goes on among these four American boys of different na- tionalities. On Wednesday this famous quartet will be broken up when two of the boys leave the Base-Frank Navratil goes for try-out with the St. Louis Cardi- nals, while Stan Bukowski enters the US. Navy.

us, and to behave toward us more

injury to the race. Education is your

white women have been added also,

DETROIT ORGANIZATIONS
BACK REV. HILL
FOR City COUNCIL

DETROIT, Apr. 10 (ANP)-|
Cheered by the news of the recent
election Of a Negro to the board of
alderman in nearby Ypsilanti, var
ious organizations here forming
coordinated committee which is
sponsoring the candidacy of the
Rev. Charles T. Hill for the COM
mon council in this city in the COM
ing election, have been spurred on
to greater effort.
The numerous organizations,
among them several white groups
who have been aiding in the fight
for better homes and all around
better conditions for the Negroes
here, sensed the need for change
in the setup of the city fathers.
In Rev. Hill the leaders feel that
they have chosen the right man for
the position, not alone because of
his militancy but because of his
outstanding leadership in commun-
ity welfare and his keen knowledge
of governmental affairs. They real
ize too the difficulty that faces
them, councilmen here being elect
ed at large. They know that it is
difficult to elect a man with less
than 10000 votes in a general elec-
ton. But with both groups working
they believe that it can be done.

"This is Moscow calling"
You probably have heard those
words in sweet feminine voice

New York and who sang in Mount

Burroughs but her radio name is

After she graduated from Hunt

second year classes at school No.

side. All her pupils were Jewish
children. She was transferred to
another elementary school in north
Jamaica, Long Island, where her
pupils were a mixture of Polish
Czechoslovakian children. Her last
assignment was to school No. 48 in
Jamaica where her pupils were
mostly Italian and colored.
Mrs. Burroughs was dismissed
from the New York public school
system when wave Of reaction
swept the board of education there
about 10 years ago because she was
secretary of the committee of the
school teacher trade uniOnists who
were defending another school
teacher for supporting welfare

Sees Foe Removed
In Death Of
Senator Johnson

LOS ANGELES = tANP)
The death of Sen. Hiram Johnson
Monday evoked mixed reactions IN
the Negro communities througnout
the state with expressions OF re-
gret from some old line California
families who had known him ana
Instantly intimately ever a long
period of years, but with almost uni
versal agreement that his passing
removed political enemy from the
capital.
Widely hailed as a "l1beraP' IN
his earlv days, Sen. Johnson's pro-
gressivism never extended to the
field of race relations. He was one
of the leaders in the anti-OrlentaI
drive of the early 1900s and chung
to the belief that this is white
mans country, a dogma he never
deserted.
Organized labor also claimed him
as one of its champions but his
championship of labor never led
him to advocate the integration OF
! the Negro, or other non-whlte
groups, within the ranks of union
! ism. His first act when he became
sgovernor of California was to sign
the notorious full crew bill. de-
svice by which Negro workers were
eliminated from the railroads and
their jobs given to white union men.
sRANGY ATTITUDE
In his long service in the senate,
johnson never offered any aid or
assistance in the fight for anti-lyn-
ching, anti-poll tax Or other social
reform measures of that kind. In
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1945-08-18

fact, his attitude ranged from open
opposition to subtle sabotage. Time
and again he refused to vote for
cloture to shut f f filibusterS
against those bills.
One of Sen. Johnson's last re-
corded votes in the senate was cast
against giving funds to the FEPC
and evoked storm of protest from
California voters.
AS governor, johnson failed to
name a Negro to any state office
and as senator he never offered any
aid toward the appointment of Ne
groes to federal Offices.

ECONOMIC ON SUGAR

WASHINGTON - Replying to
questions from homemakers as to
how to manage this years job of
canning fruit with the acute short
age of sugar, the U. S. Department
of Agriculture advises:
Use whatever sugar is available
for canning fruit in a moderately
thin syrup. This is just about the
least amount of sweetening that the
average family considers acceptable
without adding more when the
canned fruit is served. The war
time rule of averaging one pound of
sugar to four quarts of home cam
ned fruit yields this moderate
sweetening.
