A VETERAN IS A VETERAN

Employment of Negroes on policy-making levels within the Veterans Employment Service (USES) was disclosed by Perry Faulkner, YES Chief, in a re- cent Washington conference with National Urban League officials. Faulkner also an- nounced a plan for hiring addi- tional Negro personnel under an expanded YES program which authorizes Assistant and Field Assistant Employment Representatives working in CO., ordination with State USES offices, but responsible to the YES office in Washington.
 In a subsequent letter to Le- roy W. Jeffries, the Urban Leagues Assistant Industrial Relations Director, Faulkner stated that a Negro Assistant Veterans Employment Repre- sentative was already working in the District of Columbia, while other Field Assistants are on staffs in Ohio, Michigan, and New York. He said further that "as soon as it is feasible, under our present budget, and proposed budgets ,. we should like to have in those states where it is deemed necessary Negro Assistant Veterans Elm ployment Representatives to serve on State Vetarans Employment staffs."
 "A veteran is 8 veteran -.
 In a re-statement of the Vet erans' Employment Service non- discrimination policy, Faulkner said, "A veteran is defined for us by law and we do not have any inclinationn to look at it in any other light. A veteran is a veteran, be he White, Ne gro, or of any other race.
 Under the present YES plan, there is one Veterans Represen- tative in each state, which is broken down into areas, with Assistants and Field Assistants allocated to the state according to veteran population. These assistants are responsible for making contacts with employers in the interest of veterans, and maintaing regular contact with employers and veterans organ ization with a view to keeping them advised of veterans avail able for employment and the veterans advised of opportun- ities for employment. The work of the Negro staff members is integrated with that of the of fees with which they are at tached. Placement for the jobs is made through Civil Service. NULL Report Points Up Bias
 In a report on Adjustment of Negro veterans" issued in March and sent to USES off, cials the National Urban League noted that the Veterans Elm ployment Service had made lit tle or no effort to utilize Negro

Polish feast food, which the chefs
worked over three days and nights
without sleeping" was so wonderful
that it disappeared before all of
the more than 500 guests could taste
1t. Even the Polish Ambassadors
wife, Mime. Lange, was left out. She
later visited the kitchen.
A great day was being celebrated
yesterday at the Embassy. 1t was
the 200th anniversary of the birth
OF the nlustrious Polish hero, Ia
deusz Kosciuszko. 1t was also the
first party that the new Polish Am
bassador, DIR. Oskar LANCE, and his
attractive wife have given since the
envoy presented his credentials to
President Truman in December.
Nothing was left undone to make
the affair memorable one. The
guests truly showed their appre-
citation for all the trouble taken.
1t was over an hour after the clos
ing time before they left the scene.

Ambassador was an American citi-
zen until he relinquished this honor
to serve his country as Ambassador
to the United States. For a number
of years, DR.. LANCE was professor
OF economics at the University of
Chicago.
An impressive prelude to the gala
event was the placing of a wreath
on Kosciuszko's statue in Lafayette
Park. The Ambassador was accom-
panied by members of his Embassy
staff to the monument.
Gen. Kosciuszko is well known in
American history, for he entered
the Continental Army in 1776 as
a volunteer. He brilliantly dis
tinguished himself, especially at
New York and Yorktown, during the
American Revolution and his abili-
ties were quickly recognized by Gen.
George Washington.

ganization both with the Political
Action Committee of the CLIO and
with a pacifistic organization which
came into existence following the
last war.
The Women's Action COMMITTEES
is in no way connected with either
of these organizations, Mrs. Amram
explained, being neither partisan
nor pacifistic. Its sole purpose is
to unite women of the nation into
an active group working for inter-
national legislation and co-opera-
ton which will contribute to main
tenance of lasting peace.
With Mrs. Norman der White
house Of New York as national
president and Mrs. Edgar Mowrer
as president of the local chapter,
the Women's Action Committee for
Victory and Lasting Peace has
adopted the democratic method Of
accomplishing its objects through
education and the dissemination Of
information.
1--WE believe that the women in this
country will always make the right
choice if they are given the proper
information" Mrs Amram said.
A graduate of Wellesley College,
Mrs. Amram is native of Philadel-
phia where she tells you her chief
interests were centered on the FAM
ily's 185-acre farm on the outskirts
of the city before coming to Wash
ington with her husband, an attor-
ney, during the war.
Two children, a 7-year-old
daughter now in school in Florida,
and 15-year-old son in school In
Vermont are. of course, her predom-
inant interests. She tells you. how
ever, that it has been "in the in
terest of all the children in the
world that I am working so hard
for the maintenance of peace"
Mrs. Amram was accompanied to
the meeting by Mrs. Arthur Paul,
head of the Speakers Bureau of the
Women's Action Committee, who
introduced her to the audience.

An example Of democracy at work
was presented yesterday at the jack

speaker from the Women's Action
Committee for Victory and Lasting

The speaker, tall, attractive and
smartly-costumed Mrs. Philip w

the Women's Action Committee, ex-
planned the purposes Of the Com
mittee as "To unite American wo-
men to work for full. participation
by the United States in interna-
tional efforts to build a world OF
peace and justice under law"
After the last war;" Mrs. Amram
said, women did little to seeing
that peace would be preserved. Not
many women voted at that time.
Now So per cent of the nations
voters are women. They should use
their vote to see that legislation is
passed to insure international CO.
operation"
Mrs. Amram explained how the
Women's Action Committee keeps
members notified of impending legis-
lation, which legislation they should
support, and when they should urge
their Senators and Representatives
to vote for such legislation.
Women in the District may not
have the VOTE" Mrs. Amram con-
tinued, "but they are a most privi-
legged group. They can 60 to the

'Greemacre' Scene Of Party
For Young Married Group
By Betty Beale

The striking features Of the cock
tail party given yesterday afternoon
for goodly number of the young
married set were that everybody
there was good looking and nearly
everyone was native Washing
tonian. In fact, the feminine
pulchritude began with the family
responsible for the guests reluct-
ance to leave. Joint hosts were Mr..
and Mrs. Rudolph Max Kaufman
and their sons and daughters-i lin
law, Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph Kauff-
mann II and Mr.. and Mrs. Godfrey
Willis Kaufman.
Reunion was the idea In back Of this
party and the scene was Green
acre." the senior Mr.. and Mrs.
Kauffmann's home. Both sons, who
are back from overseas duty and
have been discharged from the
armed services, live nearby in
Chevy Chase The Rudolph Kauff-
MAINS are settled in their new home
at S East Melrose street and the
Godfrey Kauffmanns have a house
at 40 West Lenox street. OF course,
the reunion wasn't complete because
the third son, Mr.. John Michael
Kaufman, is still abroad where
he has served In the courier branch
OF the State Department since 1914.
At present he is stationed in Cairo.
AS customary, the dining room
was the most popular spot, but this
one for a more solid reason than
usual. Guests here were literally
surrounded by tables holding turkey,
Virginia ham, salad. and everything
that goes toward making a COM
plete supper. In this delectable set
ting were pretty Miss Dorothea
Drayton and her brother Mr..
Charles Drayton. Mr.. and Mrs.
Travis Brown, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Camp Stanley, the Lewis E. Spang-
lers. and Mr.. and the lovely Mrs.
John Burke talking to Mrs. Lam
