LAWYERS PROTEST TRUMAN
STAND IN FEp( TRANSIT CASE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 (ANP)
= President Truman has received
a protest from the District chapter,
National Lawyers guild, on his
faction in countermanding the de-
cision of the Fair Employment
Practice committee to issue direc-
tives against the Capital Transit
company"
The aim of the FEPC directives
was to break the company's anti
Negro employment policies through
insistence that Negroes be employ
ed as platform workers along with
workers of other races.
The guilds protest, said Jack B.
Tate, chapter president, was in the
form of letter, which was, formu-
lated after an inquiry into a recent
exchange of correspondence that
brought about Truman's acceptance
of Atty. Charles H. Houston's resig-
nation as FEPC member.

FoRRE5TAL ORDERS
RACE EQUALITY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Secre-
tary Of the Navy James v. Forrestal
has instructed all navy ships and
stations to end any discrimination
because of race or color" in the re-
turn of overseas troops, it was
learned today.
His order followed a recent re-
port that Negro troops had been
left at LIE Havre, France, by the
escort carrier Croatian because it
lacked suitable accommodations. "
The army said the navy was re-
sponsible for the decision not to
ship the Negroes.
.Forrestal's directive ordered all
naval personnel to "adhere rigidly'
to regulations aimed at preventing
discrimination.

Meeting For African Famine Relief

fairs, is the highlight of a campaign
to collect canned food and other re-
lief supplies in response to urgent
cabled appeals for help from the
Union of South Africa where four
million Africans face starvation.
Canned foods such as milk, corn,
baked beans, meat and other high
protein foods are most urgently
needed, says DR.. Yergan. All per-
sons attending the mass meetings
are asked to bring such canned
foods. Churches and organizations
of all types are also being asked to
make collections from among their
memberships for this relief aid.
A leader of volunteer relief work
in one of the worst stricken areas
of the country recently cabled DR..
Max Yergen, executive director of
the council: "Worst drought in
memory has caused much starva-
tion here. Stock losses disastrous.
Most men work on mines where
wages too low to maintain families
at home. Worst sufferers women,
children and aged. Would greatly
appreciate help of council"
While the drought is the immedi-
ate cause of distress, the basic cause
according to African leaders, is the
system Of segregation and exploita-
tion in South Africa which has rem
dered the Africans almost landless.
Famine conditions are widespread
in the native reserve areas, rural
districts in which Africans not en-
ployed by Europeans are compelled
to live.

st. Louis Starts Action For City FEPC

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3 (ANP). )..-
Despite the stubborn opposition of
Charles J. Dolan (Rep) associate
city counselor, the ST. Louis COM
mittee for a fair employment prac-
tice ordinance will hold meeting
in Kiel auditorium, on Lincoln's
birthday, next Feb. IL, in support
of local legislation against racial
discrimination in municipal en-
ployment as proposed by city law
maker, J. C. CASTOR.
Dolan, who Shares in marked
degree, Sen. (Miss.) Bilbo's racial
hatred" said, a meeting of the local
committee for fair employment
practices would be in conflict with
the city charter.
A statement issued by the COM
mittee headed by Thomas j. Gates,
attacked Dolan's opinion and cited
the ordinances in effect in New
York and Chicago, the latter having
served as a model for ST. Louis.
Remember" the committee said,
"that Lincoln was denounced for his
illegal action in freeing the slaves"
Dolan held that the provisions of
the bill, introduced by the first
elected Negro alderman, Jasper C.
CASTOR, conflicted with the civil
service provision of the charter
which vested in the civil service
commission the power to fix quail
fications of employees, also section

tracts was invalid, as such con-

NEGRO WORKERS VICTIMIzED
BY REVIVAL OF WHITE
SUPREMACY" IN SOUTH

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 (ANP)
Hundreds of thousands of Negro
workers are repeatedly being vic
timized by the current feverish
postwar campaign to restore Dix
les white supremacy"
Since VI day, Negro workers in
Baltimore, Mobile, New Orleans,
and other large southern commun-
tiles have been laid off from war
jobs and have been the victims of a
campaign to drive them back to
their former status through the
power of the states to control un-
employment benefits. The general
idea is to deny them the unemploy-
ment benefits and make them ac-
cept any job assigned them.
According to information receiv-
ed here, the Negro is merely one
part of the picture in the general
scheme to "beat down wages, %
which is said to have the support of
southern white workers whose pref
udices against Negroes are cleverly
melted to "put the niger in his
place" and restore southern feudal-
ISM"
The "white supremacy" move
ment has been identified as the
greatest anti-labor force in the
south, the reports reveal. The plan
is to "bust" labor unions through
the simple method of dividing the
forces of labor. The most effective
divisive forces are race, creed and
national origin. White workers are
pitted against Negro workers and
union members against union mem
bers.
Although President Truman We
toed the plan to turn the USES back
to the states, the southern move
ment to wipe out federal interfer-
ence" and restore the "old feudal
system" is reported to be gaining
momentum in practically all the
states below the Mason and Dixon
line at the expense of Negro work
ers, who have to stake it or else'
starve.

Plant AT HOWARD U.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 (ANP)
Howard university, long a leader
in Negro education, but recently
dormant in intercollegiate athletics

of it's athletic program in their post

that Howard was seeking a 1,500,-
900 appropriation in 1916 for the
construction Of $1,000,O0O athletic

Kids Feel Need For More Extensive
Recreation Programs, Survey Shows

ditional 80 percent said they lis
tened two or three hours. Twen-
ty-three percent go to movies six
or more times month. and an
other thirty-Seven percent go four
to five times.
In contrast, their participation
in public playground activities is
much lower. More than one-fourth
of the children said they had no
public playground near their
home. This indicates that many
communities are far below the ac-
copied standard of a playground
within one-quarter to one-half
mile of every home.
Only 26 percent reported they
play on school Fairgrounds once
a week or oftener, and even fewer
Q230 use other public play
grounds or parks that often. Other
studies of the survey show that
the lack of supervision by train
ed recreation leaders is a major
contributing factor to this low
participation.

There has been, and there
doubtless still is a juvenile delin-
quency problem in the nation, due
to disrupted family life caused by
the war, and other factors. But a
statewide survey recently COM
pleted as part of the Recreation
al and Cultural Resources Survey
directed by the last legislature has
produced some facts which are re-
assuring as far as the State of
Washington is concerned.
It has been found that the great
majority of children belong to at
least one activity group outside
school, such as Scouts, Cubs,
Brownies, Campfire Girls, All
Clubs, the YMCA, the YWCA or
church groups. Almost one-third
participate in church youth activ-
tiles.
The report, carried on under di-
rection of Belle Reeves, Secretary
of State, summarizes the findings
of almost 5000 questionnaireS, fill
ed out by the 5th to 9Th grade
school children in % representa-
tive Washington school communi-
ties, through cooperation of local
school administrators. The samp-
ling constitutes a croSS-section of
the entire state.
What do grade school boys and
girls want for their playground
and playfields? BY far the largest
percentage $500 placed SWIM
ming pool first. Six out of ten
children had it among their first
three choice. Second spot went to
relatively Inexpensive facility, a
roller skating area. Fifty-eight per
percent placed this among their
first three choices. Swimming
pools rated more interest in the
eastern part of the state than west
of the Cascades.
Want Other Programs
Among the programs which the
youngsters would like to take part
in, but which are not available in
sufficient numbers, are the fol-
lowing: groups for plays, puppet
shows, singing and dancing $3.50;
childrens'-- museums. (224o);-. art,
craft and hobby groups (21So).
The survey found these activities
missing entirely from the recrea-
ton schedules of many commun-
tiles in the state.

large part of the youngsters lei

ported they listen to the radio
