CARIBBEAN COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, July q
(ANP)-Lawrence w. Cramer,
former governor of Virgin Islands
and later executive secretary of the
FEPC, has been named executive
secretary of the revived Caribbean
commission, through which four
governments will attempt to better
the conditions of the islands under
their jurisdiction.
France, Holland, England and
the United States are the four ma
tions forming the association
which promises to give natives
more say in the administration Of
island affairs.
Although most Of the islands are
colonies of, some foreign govern
ment, the status of Martinique, Do
minica and Guadalupe, French pos
sessions, will soon become states in
the French government which may
affect the agreement.
Another factor which may prove
embarrassing is the rise of COM
munism in the French possessions,
where members of the party have
been elected to office.
Mr.. Cramer, who resigned his
FEPC post in which he made quite
a reputation to enter the armed
forces, being commissioned upon
discharge, was special adviser to
the state department and moved up
from that position to his new Of
flee.

been no cataclysm in Baltimore
upon the periodic visits of Montreal
with it's Negro player. Besides
Jackie is delivering the baseball
goods. Jackie is not trying to pose
as a Negro leader. He does not make
big speeches for publicity. Jackie
is to baseball what Joe Louis is to
the boxing game, he prefers to saw
baseball wood and say nothing.
The Negro race is fortunate in
having such a fine fellow as Jackie
as its first representative in organ
lied baseball. Jackie is conscious Of
the great responsibility resting
upon him, and this fact at times
handicaps him but he is carrying
this grave responsibility with all
becoming grace.
And this brings us to Branch
Hickey the Great. Branch Hickey
becomes one of today's most bril-
liant examples of the blessing of the
positive approach. Branch Hickey
could have taken refuge in the fact
that no Negroes had ever played
in organized baseball and therefore
dismissed the matter with the mega
tive pretense, 'It can't be done" or
"The time is not ripe yet" Had
Branch Hickey been a man of mega
tive approach, the doors of organ
lied baseball would not stand ajar
for the gifted Negro baseballers of
today. Branch Hickey has put the
Negro race in particular and the
cause of righteousness in general
under grave obligations to acknowl-
edge him one of the philanthropists
of the age.
1t is more than passing strange
that Brooklyn and Montreal, both
Branch Hickey teams, are leading
their respective leagues. We won
der why? Montreal is going places
in the international and Brooklyn
is leading the procession in the Ma
tional. Could it be that these teams
are fighting fiercely because they
are not fighting against the extra
man, race prejudice?
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1946-07-22

Because Of our dynamic civiliza-
ton in general and our war
psychology in particular, race rela.
tions are in state of flux. This
augurs we'll for submerged groups
everywhere and for Negroes in par.
ticular.
A struggle complex on the par
of Negroes was never more appro
private than now. We must tug a
our bonds if we would attain unto
our fuller freedom. There is little
or no place for those timid souls
who, like the ten spies dispatched tt
Canaan to seek out the land, re
turned and reported that the lant
was filled with "giants" besid'
whom they, the spies, were a
"grasshoppers."
These ten spies made a gloomy re
port; but fortunate for the caus'
of Israel Caleb and Joshua made ;
minority report in rebuttal AM
said "Let us go up and possess tn
land for we are we'll able" The tel
spies had the negative approach AM
the two had the positive approach
The two men with the positive ap
proach outweighed the ten with tn
negative approach.
1t is even SO today. In the realm
of race relations we need above al
else champions of Negro and hu
man advance who are positive il
their approach. That is to say, w
need men in the lead who see wha
is possible rather than what is i'm
possible.
A few years ago such thing a
the equalization of teachers salar
les was impossible" so most of u
thought. But today the equaliza
ton of salaries is going on apace an
the end is not yet. If we glanc
about us we see many other illus
trations of this fact. Fearful saint
ism" is becoming more and more ou
of place in the leadership of Ne
groes. This does not mean castin
discretion to the winds; it does no
mean foolhardiness; it does nc
mean desperationism. It means tn
intelligent maneuvering of ever
reasonable device to broaden ever
advantage by every reasonabl
means. In world affairs the iron i
hot and the time to strike is now!

said to haveput it, sin all angles and
for all time," were the wheels per-
mitted to roll. From the time that
the spectacular kidnapping of Ed
Jones occurred unil some 10 days
ago, that army of policy writers,
pickup men, policy station opera
tors and the great playing public
were twiddling their thumbs un-
easily. So were numerous political
and police figures whose financial
interests were seriously disturbed
by shutdown. The South Side was
absolutely without gambling. The
West Side, many miles away where
Jim Martin is car, was not dis
turbed. Mr.. Martin lis a law unto
himself.
The reason for the decision to
force the abdication of the Jones
brothers is said to have been that
they simply are too hot now" The
kidnapping with it's disclosure OF the
millions which that group alone has
taken from the South Side in its
gambling rackets had attracted ma
tional attention. 1t was felt that this
was unhealthy. The methods OF Ed
Jones who spent most of his time
outside the city and even out OF the
country maintained control through
one of his managers as front, was
resented by the other operators, 1T
is said. His attachment to white un-
derworld characters with whom he
spent time and whom he is said to
have declared in on deals also con-
tributed to his unpopularity.
The new leader, Reuben Black,
! is quiet self effacing man who in
his earlier days in Atlanta, Colum-
busJand Cleveland, Ohio, was known
as a crack insurance salesman and
Executive. Coming to Chicago he fit

veloped reputation for ability and
sagacity as wellas for attending ex-
pertly to his own business.
Quiet in tastes, the comparison
between the quiet Ford sedan which
he drives and the lavish automobile
lretinue of the Jones if marked. The
underworld is said to feel that Black
will rule wisely and equitably.
If the truth could ever be told
about Chicago's gambling and pol
icy rackets, the expose would shock
the nation.

NO TRAvELERS ARE BARRED, ANCHORAGE.

Travellers now going to Anchorage will be permitted to enter the city but if they stay more than 48 hours must have a negative throat culture for clearance. This travel restriction will be continued until midnight Saturday night, August IT; longer if the diphtheria out break continues.
 The decisicn to continue the han on all public gatherings and re- strict travel was decided last Fri day night" states pr, c. Earl All brecht, Territorial Commissioner of Health, who returned to Juneau last evening from Anchorage. Tt was thought that the outbreak of seven new cases of clinical diph- theria in 72 hours warranted con- tinuance of the restrictions"
 The control measures in Anchor age are under the supervision of Dr. Ralph w. Mackenzie, acting City Health Officer pr Elaine Schwinge, of the Territorial De- partment of Health, is coordinating the control activities in the An chorage area.
 In Anchorage nearly $500 people, mostly adults, were immunized with diphtheria toxoid during the past week.
 Tt is especially desirable to reach the adult population of Alas ka with diphtheria protection, states Dr. Albrecht, since the ma jcrity of cases in this diphtheria outbreak have occurred among adults. I heartily recommend pro- lection against diphtheria for every adult in Alaska as well as for the children"

VETERANS' GUIDE By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

law was to take care of those fel-
 lows who want to start training
 while they're still in hospitals, but
 can't physically afford to work full time.
 Varied training programs, just like the CT Bill education section provides, are available under Public l6. That is, you can go to school or college, or take training -on-the-
 job or apprentice training. Just about anything you want-provided the signs indicate there'd he op- portunity for good employment when you finish your training.
 Just one more pitch at Public 16 and I'll retire the side.
 This is a tip from a VA guy to all disabled veterans who have small disability ratings - the guys who are getting pensions of $11.5O or $23 for small disabilities which eventually may disappear.
 To be eligible for Public 16, or vocational rehabilitation, you must have a questionable disability. No disability is questionable unless it it rated by the VA rating board as at least 10 percent.
 Example: loss of a middle finger is a 10 percent disability, but less of little finger is only a fivepercent disability So if you lest little finger, but otherwise came out of the service unharmed, ycu would not be eligible for Pub lie 16
 Funny, perhaps, but that's the way it is.
 Well, the VA guy remarked that veterans with minor disabilities which may improve with time, should apply for vocational rehab- ilitation as soon as possible. Be- cause once their condition does inn prove, and their disability rating drops below 10 percent, they'll no longer be eligible for training un- der Public Is.
 But, if they start vocational re- mobilization and then their dis ability rating is cut below 10 per cent, they'll be entitled to complete any training program already start ed.
 A, 1oct co,1D+ +baro H-pre almost 100 veterans enrolled under Public Law 16 who had less than a 10 percent disability. That's what hap pened to them.
 This advice goes only to those veterans who have temporary dis ability ratings. If you have a per manent rating of at least 10 per cent, you don't have to worry.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-08-13

Disabled vets still in Army anC Navy hospitals can get VAS nod tc go ahead with training under Pub. lie Law l6 before they actually gel their final discharge Here's how:
 VA will take a careful look at the Army or Navy's medical reports tc see whether the seryiceman will b. eligible for a disability pension when he gets. out. Then VA will make what is called a "memoran- dunn rating" oh each individual case If that rating is 10 percent or more, VA says go ahead-get started on your Public Law l6 training.
 It's simple as that - according to VA It affects the disabled guy who's just sitting around hospital for maybe an hours treatment a day, or so the medics can keep an eye on him for anotEer month or so before sending him back to civ ilian life. If the situation is some thing like that. he'll be able to make a start at learning whatever he wants to learn.
 The hospital and VA people who specialize in advisement and coun seling will get together with the serviceman tor woman) and give some advice before any program of education or training is fixed up. Of course, there's chance the disabled serviceman won't be able to take full time training Maybe his health will not permit more than four hours day of school attendance or work as an apprentice trainee.
 The VA says it will okay part time programs, if at the start you cant physically take any more. Yet you'd be using up your period of eligibility just as though you were going to school full time.
 But you might come cut about even, because the law says train- ing period longer than four years may be approved by the Veterans Administration in certain cases. A VA official told ne he thought one reason that was included in the
