that they should not carry para chutes.
 Hitherto, these planes had car ried parachutes while flying the Hump" but the Army explains that Hump flying has been stopped. Reason for the no-parachute order on four-motored transport planes carrying passengers is that though the crew could bail out, the pas sengers cant. They haven't been trained in parachute Jumping, and no crew can desert a ship ahead of it's passengers.
 One reason why U. s. pilots in China are now burned up is that many of them have to carry Chi nese troops into the battle area foI Chiang Kai-shek. Imagine the panic if 50 to 60 Chinese troop passengers all tried to bail out.
 It should be noted that this sit uation is not the fault of the Ail Transport Command, which, like a railroad, is merely given orders to carry this or that. The ATC, for instance, once had to carry a Cadillac car across the Hump for the benefit of Ambassador Hurley. Despite all these handicaps, Gen. Turner has sharply reduced the India China accident rate
 Describing the situation, Gen. Turner informs me: "The men who flew Air Transport Command planes in India and China, un- armed and under constant threat of enemy attack, performed one of the outstanding feats of all Am erican forces in the war Private Galloway was one of these men. He was one of 910 crew members who gave their lives in crashes of 594 aircraft in the India China Divi- sion of ATC while in the service of their country and the loss of every man is regrettable. Pvt. Galloway was one of the 35, 1000 military per sonnel in the India Burma Divi- sion who made it possible to lift 776,532 tons of war materials tc China from Dec l. l942, to Nov 1. l945"

Iran's 5 Request Is
 Turned Down Second Time by Russians

TERRAIN, Dec. 5-The Russians have refused, ill a second note to the Iran Government. to permit en- trance of additional Iranian troops into the troubled northwestern province of Azerbaijan, it was dis closed today
 The new Soviet note came during a tense political situation, with Iranian Premier Haikimi threaten ing to resign unless the dispute over the province was settled by direct negotiation with Moscow.
 Iranian troops, ordered to the province which is the scene of a local autonomy movement, still were bivouacked at Sharifabed, where they were halted Nov. 20 by the Russians. Soviet troops have occupied the province since 194l when they were sent to guard the Russian lend-lease supply lane.

OUR COWBOY AMBASSADOR

OIh AD " oO
 That was exactly 20 years ago. Since then, Chiang Kai-shek has become the great friend of the Americans and British and enemy of the Russians-though quite capable of patching up new divi- sion of Manchurian spells with them as reported last week.
 mention this because such changes are not uncommon in China. Neither are civil wars. There has been no period in the last 100 years of Chinese history when some war lord or other did not have an army in the field jockeying for more revenue, more territory, or more concubines.
 At such times as have visited China, it was always an axiom that when the Chinese corn crop was cut, the troops would start moving. Even Chinese war lords had some consideration for peas ants crops and the country's food supply.
 It was into this vortex of poli- tical intrigue that Pat Hurley, our naive and delightful cowboy Am bassador from Oklahoma, threw the full weight of the U.S.A. with all it's prestige, all its lend-lease. all its Far East airplanes-and threw this weight on one side, apparently not realizing that it's chief was quite capable Of making a new deal with his enemy, the Russians whenever it was oXpedient, behind Hurlsss back
 An--this is why Hurley was SC sore at the State Departments Fai Eastern experts who tried to warr him what was cooking Months age they ral.zed what public reaction would bc to American pilots losing their lives for the benefit of Chi nese war lords.
 Note Eleven U. s. plane crashes were reported recently il China in one day alone. all oi them flown by U g. pilots for the benefit of Chiang Kai-shek.
 Note 2--Senator Langer of Nortf Dakota has long demanded that tho State Department explain the gift of rare Chinese jewelry valued al S30,000 by the Chiang Government to Mrs. Hurley.

Apprehension and distrust among persons, who head large corporations will retard certain plans for con- version but there should be health ful activity in many lines of manu- featuring and merchandising.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 A crisis in what has been an economic revolution extending through several decades is indicat- ed for the new year when labor and capital must reach lasting agree ments. Danger of serious imitation now seems near, according to the stars.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Persons puzzled by Aquarian ten dencies will misunderstood Russia. The spirit of the great nation com pines idealism and unflinching realism. This duality is seen in the music and literature as well as in the politics of this fact develop ing international power
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of upsetting ex- periences which will be quickly oyer shadowed by good luck.

OHIO PLANT AGREES TO
HIRE NEGRO WOMEN
AFTER FEp( STEPS IN

GAINESVILLE, Jan. "a (ANP)
Regardless of race, creed or col
or, Line Material, war plant here,
will hire additional workers, Off
cials agreed after the FEPC inter
ceded. This promise which pri-
marily concerned the hiring of Ne
gro women, must become a reality
by February 18th or the commit
tee will resume. it's probe, Emman-
uel Block, hearing commissioner,
revealed.
The Line Material company
which is engaged in production of
shells and radar components, had
steadfastly refused to consider the
employment of Negro women. Ac-
ton against this practice began
early in 1943.
At an all day meeting between
plant officials and representatives
of FEPC, Ernest Smell, U. S. en-
ployment head, GAINESVILLE, testi-
fled that all of the other war plants
in that area employed Negro wom-
en-, and declared that those Negro
women worked alongside white en-
ployes in perfect harmony. The
contention on the part of company
officials, that the FEPC had no
jurisdiction in the case, was over
ruled by Block.
Attention was called to the fact
that Line material gave employ
ment to a Negro women of fair
complexion. The woman's employ
ment, however, was terminated
when it was learned that she was
colored.

PREPARE FOR U50 TOUR

NEW YORK, Jan. "a (ANP)-|
The addition of several outstand-
ing performers to the USO-camp
shows, brings the total of Negro
performers to 127. The most recent
unit is that of the hospital circuit
which started our Monday. Other
groups are eight Tabloid units, two
Victory units and hospital unit on
the home front; a concert unit, one
band unit and the legitimate over
seas troupe, "Porgy and Bess."
Prominent personages who anti
cipate overseas services with the
organization are Jesse Owens,
Henry Armstrong, Kenny Washing
ton, Brud Holland, Satchel Paige
and Fay Young.
According to recent survey Ne
gro showmen now for the first
time receive an equal pay rate
with white actors and in many
cases, it is said that Negro actors
get more money than correspond
ing white actors. The report indi-
Gates that since 1912 when the
USO was first organized Ala Ne
gro performers have represented
212 acts and that a tenth of camp
shows performers' payroll goes to
Negroes.

CRITIOzES FAILURE TO
MENTION NEGRO ON
LABOR SHORTAGE QUESTION

ATLANTA, Jan. "a (ANP)-A
letter by William Y. Bell, southern
field director, National Urban
league, to Paul V. McNutt, Of the
War Manpower Commission, crit
icized recent remarks by the VINO
chairman who reflected that more
than 100000 new workers are
needed to fill production needs for
army requirements and who men
toned seven ways in which labor
shortages may be overcome, but
yet disregarded the use of Negro
workers.
"While you have listed seven
ways in which labor shortages may
be overcome, including the 'inten-
sive recruitment Of women,' and
the use of foreign workers. Bells
letter stated, ''it is disappointing
that you nowhere mention the i'm
portance of the increased use of
Negro workers as another means Of
meeting production needs. Yet
more than $4,000 of the 100000
vacancies are in Regions a, Z, 9 and
10, areas with large Negro popu-
lations amounting in some cases to
40 percent of the available local la
Dor supply.
"It is hard for me to believe that
your omission of Negro workers
was merely an oversight, since
your staff is certainly aware of the
untapped potential of Negro labor.
| am forced to conclude that the
omission was deliberate and that,
for some reason, you have con-
sciously chosen to suggest one
way in which some of the current
labor stringencies now imparing
