the. tilirty-ninth anniversary of
the Army Ali Forces August LIST.
Highlighting the days affair, the

sed all troops in a colorful formal
retreat parade.
Visitors, friends and relatives
lined the parade grounds as Col.
B. o. Davis Jr., and his staff re
viewed the troops. Overhead a
group of administrative aircraft
based on the field roared back and
forth. Leading the loose formation
was a CAT, Douglas Skytrain,
thanked on either side by a small
twin-engine Beechcraft CAS- and
tiny ATS Texans-The Army'S
famed single-engine training plane
The group was joined by a PAT
Thunderbolt, largest single-engine
fighter in the Army, the seven
ton aircraft throttled back to near
stalling speed, dropped its landing
flaps to further reduce its speed
as it crawled along with its lum-
5ering sister ships.
Earlier in the day PATS and B.

round-robin flight over the prin-
cipal cities in Ohio, and bordering
states. They covered Columbus,

Edited by Verna p. Harris

When the Army evacuated the
entire $4,000 people of Japanese
blood from the Pacific Coast and
herded them into concentration
camps, many a Negro throughout
the country felt a sense of appre-
hension always experienced in the
face Of oppression: Today THEM,
tomorrow US. For once the pre-
cedent had been established of
dealing with persons on the basis
of rae or creed, none of us could
consider ourselves safe from flu
ture security measures.
/ suppose that a similar spirit
and feeling of oneness motivated
two Jewish high school girls in
New York who recently rejected
scholastic medals offered to them
by the Daughters of the American
Revolution. According to the daily
papers, Betty Goldberg and Flor
ence Kaufman of Seward Park
High School declared they could
not accept medals from an organ
iZation that Disseminated against
Negroes.
A courageous act. 1t was on a
higher plane of courage than the
physical bravery displayed by a
lifeguard or a fireman or a street
cher-bearer in battle. 1t was the
kind of pioneering courage which

these blows will leave it Keeling
and gasping for breath.
II isn't hard to figure out why
other minorities are standing up
and fighting for Negroes more
and more. Refugee Jews, as we'll
as those born in this country, have
realized in the past ten years how
~fascists throughout the world think
alike, act alike, prosecute alike.
When Hitler decreed that Jews
must ride in segregated trains and
trolleys, he wasn't connecting an
original idea. He borrowed it from
his brothers in Mississippi. When
Catholics found themselves in Ger
man concentration camps, they
must have felt a kinship for Ne
groes who are railroaded into Dixie
chain gangs, lynched in southern
states. When a west coast oriental
encounters signs f~orbidding him to
! enter certain parks and other pu-
bic facilities, he can't help but
grasp the mutual plight of i'm
crowed Negroes.
Despite what huElan beings know
in their hearts and minds, how
ever. it is another thing to follow
through in day-to-day behavior.
The easy way out is to circumvent
and detour around the harrassing
problems Of other minorities. Our
JOB and bread and butter NAV be
at stake A scholarship might be
Jeopardized- Our parents or wives
or husbands may be unwilling to
buck the popular tide. All sorts of

BOSTON, Oct. 10 (LPA) -
More than 400 delegates repre-
senting $4,000 members of Dis
trict l, of the United SteelWork-
ers-CIO, meeting in annual con-
vention here last week, stamped
and roared unanimous approval
of two resolutions attacking
Communists in the labor move
ment.
One resolution, presented by
Local 1854, of Whitinsville,
Mass, urged the unions inter
national officers to take steps to
amend the USA's constitution to
prohibit Communist Party men,
bers from holding "any elective
or appointive office in either the
international union or in any 10
cal unions.
The second resolution pledged
the Districts fifth convention Ito
use all its influence and effort
to resist attempts to use the ClO
as a vehicle for the development
of any foreign theology and to
expose individuals who endeavor
to promote features of the Com
munist Party plan by Disgusting
themselves as bona fide trade
union members"

ANA Rubs Out
Color Line

ATLANTIC CITY, October 10
(LPA)-Faced with drives to
organize into unions the under
paid and overworked members
of the nursing profession, the
American Nurses Assn last
week decided to take on some
of the functions of a union itself.
The ANA at a meeting of its
house of delegates here voted
that until other recommends
tions are accepted, all discus
sions and negotiations for i'm
provement of personnel policies
should be carried on through
professional nursing organiza-
tions and not through organized
unions"
Both the American Federation
of State, County & Municipal
Employes-AFL and the United
Public Workers CIO have begun
drives to organize nurses.
In another resolution, the
ANA voted to open its member
ship on a national basis to all
qualified nurses regardless of
color. In most southern states,
negro nurses are barred from
membership in the state nurses
associations, but henceforth they
will be admitted directly to
membership in ANA.

Wage War; On
Communists

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 (LPA)-
All-out war on Communist in
fluence within the CIO was de-
clared last week by 33 officials
of New York City CIO unions
with the organization of CIO
Committee for Democratic Trade
Unionism.
Charging that To-day Ameri-
ca faces the threat of totalitar-
ianism from both reactionaries
and Communists" the 33 Off
cials, whose unions represent
10000 New York City workers,
called upon CIO members to
control and influence.
The Committee announced
that it would shortly release a
statement on foreign policy
that is expected to have wide
repercussions within the CIO.'
Among the signers of the
statement were: Jack Altman,
international vice-president of
the Retail, Wholesale & Depart
ment Store Union; Charles Ker-
rigan, regional director, UAW-
CIO; Ed Van Axen, executive
board member of the Industrial
Union of Marine & Shipbuilding

Frank Mcmahon, director Unit
ed Railroad Workers; Thomas
Flynn, executive board member,
IUMSW.
Pull No Punches
Pulling no punches in its de-
scription of the Communist
threat, the Committee declared.
ION the one hand we have the
bigoted and labor hating forces
spearheaded by such men as
Rankin and Bilbo, who use Con-
|gressional immunity in their
fascist attempts to undermine
our nation. On the other hand,
we have the Communist forces
of the left, who, by their meth
ods of infiltration and false
avowals of democracy, would

Dispute On Timing
Immediate cause of the dis
pute which the union termed a
lockout was the timing of pro-
duction rates on new jobs in the
plant. Unit officials who had
gone to inspect the job were or
dered to return to their own

work by the department fore
man and was given the backing
of the plant superintendent.
Contributing to the decision
of the Unit to take a strike vote
was large backlog of unsettled
grievances including employee
discharges.
Company officials at the meet
ings last week agreed to follow
their contract and to work out
some method to give speedier
settlement to grievances. At
tempts will be made during the
next 80 days to work out salts
factory settlement of long
standing grievances.
A joint time-study of the dis
puted jobs was agreed to by the
company and union in an at
tempt to arrive at equitable
rates agreeable to both sides of
the dispute.

10th Month
Union Ranks Solid
AS Fight Continues

RACINE, Oct. 11-Striking
employees of the j. /. Case Co. of
this city entered the 10th month
of the record-breaking work
stoppage here last week with
their ranks solid and more de-
termined than ever to win this,
their third strike against the
company.
Thursday also marked another
milestone in the uphill struggle
of Local 180-the 10th annivers-
ary of its charter in the Auto
Workers.
The current dispute which the
Union is waging against the re-
dictionary Case Co. management
is the longest of its three major
work stoppages. The union is
still trying to get a decent con-
tract after two years of struggle
during which is has won an
NLRB directive, WLB recon-
mendation on a contract, an
NLRB decision against the COM
pany and a court decision nulli-
flying the famous 1887 letter.
The company, whose hard
headed attitude has brought it
into conflict with other manu-
facturers, has by appeals, and as
a result of the vacillating atti-
tude of President Truman, STALL
ed off signing a contract or a
biding by the decisions of the
impartial bodies which found in
favor of the union.
Donations and assistance rem
dered the strikers by other Lo-
cal Unions and the international
.UAW-CIO have made it possible
for the strikers to hold out until
now they are positive that soon
er or later they will break down
the company and succeed in
winning their points.
