IAN editors reported the FEPC
meeting so well last week that
we will not have to present a
resume as previously promised
IN this column. However, for
some reason the original white
chairman vacated his Office lust
before the last meeting and
Mrs Digger, who took his place.
did an admirable job in muster

along with other committee
workers. Capt Hugh H Boris
field is the new committee
chairman as we go into an
other meeting this week. It is
obvious now that the coIored
workers on the committee and
colored supporters have done
the brunt of the work in the
Medford campaign. Among
those present last week sup
porting the bill were ex-Mayor
John c. Carr, now running for
Lieut.. Governor; and Theodore
Ted" Rose of Sharon st, now
running for Senator. Rose made
Senator Richardson a bit I'M

democracy for which colored
veterans have died. Frankly a

fight f1'e with fire. Only ex--
IRENE pressure is now causing
some reformed" Office holders

apologize for his un-American
remarks. There isn't much
idealism in politics.
The local veterans sounded a
warning to the politicians last
week by organizing into a club
for social and civic progress.
This is open not only to colored
but to all local veterans of any
race. The members will not ad-
Vocate a jim crow post but will
belong to the regular major or
CARNATIONS. Members as indi-
Viduals will also belong to 9TH
er clubs including the Center
for the betterment Of the COM
munity. This will be a club of
veterans who like to get to-
gether as most veterans do at
times. Officers are: AL Kountze,
president; Dave Hazel, vice
president; Frank Booker, treas
urer; Art Lassiter, secretary
and Bill Booker, sgt-at-arms.
There were % veterans, a fine
attendance, present at the
meeting last Sunday and it re-
minds me of the prediction of
the late Wesley Robinson that
the veterans are going to be a
real voice in the community.
And we also have Official notice
that the Dukes Club which
fiourished before the war has
been revived following a formal
