 The report is otherwise preg- nant with philosophical observa- tions aimed at implementing actual techniques of approach to the solu- tion of looming labor entangle- -ments, and for bridging the gulf between white and Negro work CTS as a protection against the cverlords of industry. The promin- ence of the speakers and the re- lations of many of the utterances to current labor problems is of much news value, although the ac- count as rendered here as merely piece-meal.

OPINION
ONE FACT A DAY KEEPS
 TROUBLE AWAY
By James Shankel

The word alone spells trouble in newspaper work. However, in the spirit of nothing risked nothing gained" he-e goes what seems a factual observation, more or less:
 In far too many industries throughout the country it has been the practice of far too many en- ployers when hiring, to give mere ly perfunctory consideration to colored men and women. That statement alone without any em- bellishment would probably pass the censorsip of many conservative Negroes who are not eager for militant action, but feel that some action is nevertheless called for.
 We have just witnessed the re- suits of concerted action by or ganized labor for wage increases in all skills, trades, etc., we have noted, ,stoo, the reaction of the en- ployer, which, like it or not, has taken a form we all knew only too well - curtailment of overhead expenses, reduction in force, etc.
 Many labor unions while main taining expensive labor Hobbies in Washington and the various state legislatures are nevertheless very choosy and lukewarm in even seek ing Negro membership. It is as if all and sundry in the labor mart had tacit understanding that where the perennially neglected Negro is concerned, a mere token gesture in the matter of employ ment should cause the recipients to sit up nights studying ways to be thankful for such crumbs of recognition. All this of course, is definitely the same old attempts to Mrs. l.. Bettie Harris of Scranton St. indefinitely.

Congress Appeals ToUNO
By Jim Shankel

New Haven-The local group here in New Haven were given the report of the National Negro Con- gress held in Detroit:
 ''The Negro people will die to preserve the progressive torch of Democracy, but will not live a slave"
 "The Negro people will fight to the death to preserve liberty"
 The above utterances were made by Dr. Max Yergan, newly elected president of the National Negro Congress, before 750 delegates to the 10th annual conference held in Detroit, Michigan, May 30, through June 2. These delegates were from civic and fraternal or ganizations, churches, and trade unions.
 The report to the New Haven group was brought back by George Glover, who is the recording sec retary for the local organizing group.
 According to the report, other prominent speakers were: Adam Clayton Powell, Congressman from New York, Ben Davis, Council man, City of New York, Hugh De- lacy, Representative, from the State of Washington, Doxey Will kerson, Revels Cayton, and many others.
 Other highlights from Dr. Max Yergan's talk were. "It is abso- lutely unthinkable that the Negro people should ever be called upon to shoulder the responsibility of t1ghtlng a war of imperialism. :" The past election proved the po- lltlcal maturity of the Negro peo- ple"
 ''The efforts of the Negro Con gress is to build unity within the Negro race and after that, to build unity between Negroes and whites"
 The big news, of course, was the formal petition sent to the United Nations Organizations and the attempt by the Congress to get that August group to enter the question of Negro racial pref ud1ce right here in the United States along with the complaints ot other minority groups scat tered throughout the world. This petition Is almost certain to have wide repercussions; one can hard " imagine Russian and certain other of the nations within, op- posing cllques, missing an oppor- tunlty to exploit this petition as aga1nst the spacious utterances of democracy" being urged on Rus sla by what some writers refer to as the "American-British-Bloc ,"
 One need not be overly discern ing to note the infte possibili- 'les for diplomatic interplay sug- gested herein; many people seem to reel that the mere fact of pet- ting the question on the aeenda Will lead to bombastic explana- tons on the part of it's opponents, ana that these attempts to explain away the need for adequate con- slderatlon of the Negro's National h1ghts as a citizen, will have the erect ot publicizing to the world, the U. 5. seeks to lead, the oual- lly or the Democracy it advocates at home"

vD Progress Made
Throughout State

Reporting on the progress of the
quietly waged war against veneral
diseases, Mr.. Paul w. Shipley,
archaeological sanitarian of the
state board of health, said that there
is reason to believe Mississippi has
not only held the incidence of these
diseases to a pre-war level but has
been able to force it down.
This was done through the en-
ployment of a staff of full-time
veneral disease investigators to
locate those persons who were most
likely to be infected, said Mr.. Ship
ley. Three rapid treatment centers
were opened where patients could
be hospitalized and given the quick
est and most effective medical care.
These centers are stated by doctors
who are specialists in the diagnosis
and treatment of veneral diseases
Penicillen, which doctors consider
the most potent medicine yet dis
covered for treatment of syphilis
and gonorrhea, is used in these
centers. A transportation system
which touches every county health
department at least three times
week-and some more often-take:
patients to the rapid treatmen
centers and brings them home aftel
treatment has been completed
