que that more food for the starry
ing can only add up to less meat
on the market at home.
They are convinced that the

auctions in livestock numbers
during the next three Or four
years. Some agricultural leaders
think the reduction may amount
70 Is or 20 percent in beef cat
tie and 10 to 10 per cent for
hogs.
General opinion in Washington
expressed BY farm officials is
that tie United States will be in
the business of relief feeding for
many months to come in order
10 meet its commitments abroad.
Grain, the easiest food to ship
TO starving countries. is the chief
item Of export under the relief
program. They concede that thr

in a reduction in meat production
which may carry ii down to pre-

COP. Democratic Battle
For Enlarged Negro Vote
Special to Central Press

Washington - Republican and

a bitter tug-of-war for the Negro
vote, which many think will
prove decisive in middle ground

izc that a ~top-heavy majority can
decide the fate of many congress
sional contests this fall and will
play an even bigger role In l948.
Republican National Commit
tee Chairman Carrall Reece is
directing Republican strategy to
coax the Negro back into his
normal party, the COP. Coming
from a district known as the Re
publican island in a Democratic
state, Reece has always stood
| agains. racial discrimination at
hume and in the House, where
he has denounced the southern
poll takers on the Democratic
side.
Reeee has TO overcome the pop
ularity achieved by President
Roosevelt among the Negro vot-
ers. The late president weaned
scores of thousands away from
the Republican party. But Reece
feels that Mr.. Truman does not
carry the same sympathy, de
spite his fight for the FEPC.
Moreover. the present CHER exc
cutfve has been unable to handle
the southern fillibusters against
Negro legislation.

Weakness OF PAC
In Elections Seen
By LOUIS LATTER

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The re-
suits of the primaries in Ohio on
May IA proved that the CIO Pc
litical Action Committee is ex-
tremely weak with the voters, Will
liam o. Walker, editor of the
Cleveland (Ohio) Call and Post,
said before leaving here last Fri
day night with two other newspa-
per men on a tour of Army install
lations in Europe.
As evidence of this weakness,
Mr.. Walker pointed to the defeat
of Marvin C. Harrison, Cleve-
land attorney, for the Democratic
nomination for United States Sen
ator. Harrison ran third in a four
cornered race, being defeated by
Senator James w. Huffman, who
is serving a short term to fill the
vacancy created by President Tru-
mans appointment of Senator Har-
old H. Burton, Republican, of
Ohio, to the Supreme Court.
Complete returns gave Huffman
107,4 21 votes, former Representa-
tive Stephen Young 89,422, Harri-
son 70,940, and DR.. Edward HUH,
1850.
In the November election, Huff

Bradley Still
Has Job Idea

WASHINGTON, d. C. -
(NNPA)-General Omar N. Brad
ley, administrator of Veterans At
fairs, said last Saturday that he
has no intentions of abandoning
the idea of appointing a qualified
colored person as his administra-
tive assistant on a policy-m making
level.
Explaining a letter which he
wrote recently to Walter White ex-
ecutive secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, General Brad
ley said his letter was meant to
notify Mr.. White the appointment
of such a person could not be made
on the basis of race alone.
The Negro Newspaper Publish
ers Association, the NAACP, and
other national organizations, have
urged General Bradley to appoint
colored man to his staff on the
policy making level since last No
vember.
DISCRIMINATORY ACTION
In a press release, the NAACP
said General Bradley informed the
organization he could not make
such an appointment because "such
action in itself would be discrim-
inatory and detrimental to the in
terests of other minority groups"
Upon receipt of the letter Mr..
White Immediately wrote Presi-
dent Truman and enclosed copy
of the letter from General Brad
ley, asking the President to take
"such steps as may be fitting in
the matter"
The Veterans Administration
was emphatic here last Saturday
in denying that General Bradley
had reversed his position.
Appointment of a colored man
to the position is imminent, it is
believed here.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1946-05-18

AS late as last December, Gen.
Bradley indicated his willingness
to appoint Negro to his staff to
aid in policy making and to safe
guard the interests of the thou
sands of Negro war veterans.
A great hue and cry had been
raised prior to that time saying
that VA was not giving Negroes
the proper consideration. Commit
tees waited on Gen. Bradley and
explained the situation to him.
Immediately he acceded to the re-
quest and promised to appoint a
qualified Negro as his assistant.
