OPA Act Is
Slowed Up

WASHINGTON, May 10th -
/ (LPA)-Moving slowly through
a maze of amendments, the Sen
ate Banking and Currency Com
mittee is expected to continue
closed sessions this week on the
act to extend OPA. Only agree
ment announced so far is that
the Act should be extended for
another year, rather than for the
nine months proposed by the
House.
While few if any of the emas-
culating amendments passed by
the House last month are ex-
pected to survive in the Senate
committee, Republican Senators
Taft, Milliken, Buck and Cape
hart, as we'll as Southern Demo-
Gratis, are expected to try to put
over a series of equally Grip
pling amendments.
What Senators Want
A notion of what the anti-OPA
Senators expect was seen in the
speech last week by Sen. Rob-
ert Taft (R. o. to the Natl. In
.dustrial Conference Board. He
called upon OPA to abandon
rigid price control and allow a
general price increase to a cell
ing 500 above prewar levels.
Price decontrol was proceed
ing apace, even before Congress
acted. Among OPA actions last
week were orders suspending
price ceilings on fish and about
100 food items, including potato
chips, non-wheat flours, dry and
dehydrated soups, household de-
odorants, disinfectants and in
cticides, and carbonated
waters. Also suspended were
ceilings on silk yarns, fabrics,
thread, and some silk apparel
such as stockings and scarves.
OPA price ceilings were raised
4 percent to percent for radios
and were also raised on watches.

.PeryPost In Fight
 For Permanent FEPC

Officials of Eugene Perry Post No. 332, VFW, this week pointed to the urgent need of Fair Elm ployment practices legislation in Rhode Island and the nation.
 "In defense of many of our ex- GPs," said one official, "we would like to say that many of them have been walking the streets since their discharge. And we have heard it said that they are per fectly content to do so, and to re- main members of the so-called s52-20' Club. While this may be true in some cases, it is not so in everyone. We know definitely of cases where our ex servicemen have tried very hard to get en- ployment without success. Many have received technical training in the service which fits them for much better jobs than they per haps had before going into the armed forces. We believe these men are justified in seeking and desiring jobs along the lines in

Citizens Jam Federal Building
BOSTON, MASS. (Special)

BOSTON, MASS. (SpeciaD Monday afternoon, August 5, nearly 200 persons forming a dele gation led by William Harrison, associate editor of the CHRON- ICLE, crammed the eleventh floor of the Federal Building in Post Office Square to file a protest with United States Attorney Edmund J. Brandon on the July 25 quad ruple lynching in Georgia of two Negro couples.
 MT. Brandon consented to meet five members of the delegation in addition to MT. Harrison in his office while the rest waited outside in the corridor. The delegation sought to leave with him a peti- tion protesting the outrage, but he pointed out that the matter was beyond his jurisdiction, advising that the petition be presented di- rectly to Attorney-General Tom c. Clark in Washington.
 Sponsoring the delegation were MT. Harrison, Walter O'Brien Chairman of the Emergency Com mittee of Citizens and Labor), Rev. o. w. H. Childers (president of the Interdenominational Minis terial Alliance), and representa- tives of the National Maritime Union (CIO), headed by Port Agent Charles J. Mccarthy. Also present were Mrs. Laura Morris, new Community Relations Secre- tary of the Boston Urban League, with Assistant Industrial Secre- tary Frank Davis, and Lloyd Ran dolph of the Steelworkers Union (AFL).
 1 At an emergency meeting at noon the National Maritime Union voted to have a one-hour stoppage of work as a protest against the lynchings.

Tal1nadge Saw Stabbed Landlord Before Lyncl,ing

Monroe, Georgia - In a special story in the Daily Worker for Monday, August 5, Art Shields re- lated that Eugene Talmadge, off, cial Democratic Party nominee for Governor of Geogia, "held a long conference in Walton County with the family of the landlord of Ro- ger Malcolm, one of the victims of the mass lynching of July 25, two days after the young Negro share cropper was arrested. The man with whom Talmadge conferred was old Bob Hester, leading Wal ton County landlord and the fa- ther of Barnett, or 'Barney'g Hes ter, another cotton planter, who has been gashed two days before in a fight with his own tenant, Roger Malcolm"
 Another unique disclosure by the Daily Worker writer was that Mall colm was almost lynched just after the fight on July IA, but his life was then saved by white woman who called Sheriff Gordon to the scene in time to prevent a lynch ing. Talmadge visited Hesterton, where the Testers maintain a com- missary for their Negro tenants, on the day before the primary election (July 16). He was alarmed at the rising political consciousness of the Negroes of Walton County, BIO of whom had registered and had formed a civic association for the purpose of in structing others in the use of the Negro voters supported James V. Carmichael, Talmadge's opponent, with such unanimity that they al- most gained him the county unit vote, which he lost by only "A votes.

Jim Crow Drug Chain Manager Arrested

Des Moines, Iowa (WDL) - When the assistant manager of the local Katz drugstore bluntly refused counter service to William Worthy, field secretary of the Workers Defense League, because he is Negro and added that this jimcrow policy comes from the big drug chains St. Louis headquar- ters, he never dreamed he would be arrested.
 Yet this is what happened be- cause Worthy swore out a crimin- al warrant against both him and the drug chain under the states civil rights law. Trial was post poned to a later date.
 This was not Worthy's only en- counter with Jimcrow in Des Moines. When he sought a room at the YMCA, the general secre- tary got very belligerent and as serted: "Your type doesn't appre- ciate the efforts which I and my associates are making to solve the Negro problem"
 However, when Worthy threat ened suit under the states civil rights law, the YMCA general sec retary's attitude changed and he gave him a room.
 Worthy is the son of Dr. and Mrs. William Worthy, ST., 239 Northampton St., Boston.
