discrimination in hiring because OF
color, was successfully concluded
by the State Commission Against
Discrimination last week when the
complainant, Kenneth Coward, re-
ceiyed a weeks pay in addition to
an offer of the job which he had
been refused.
Edward w. Edwards, acting
chairman of SCAD, in announcing
he victory, said an investigation
showed that the Rafalsky company
had been insistent upon compli-
ance with the law against discri-
nination from the time of its
enactment, but in spite of this
policy one of their superintendent
had violated the law in refusing a

a bi-racial basis.

Politics mmd
Price Control

THE United States is now gripped in an
infationary spiral that is almost daily
widening Millions of average Americans
are trapped in vice of fixed incomes and
rising prices.
Their families are Threatened with the
specter of malnutrition and general i'm
poverishment. Shortages and skyrocket-
ing prices are producing mass state of
mind best described as maddening.
If OPA had been retained with full
powers, this present debacle would greatly
have been prevented. During the "OPA
holiday" last Summer, the price gougers
unloaded their Stocks in anticipation of a
nationwide insistence on restoring OPA.
What accounts for the present meat
shortage? The answer is not because of a
dearth Of live stock The fact is that cat
tie are plentiful These cattle are not be-
ing sent to the yards here and other cen.
tiers because of a matter of income taxes.
The cattle men have made their 'shaul''
for this year. Additional income before
January AT would prove profitless be-
cause it would be funneled into the tax
Golfers. Thus they selfshly reason.
Meanwhile, live stocks are being fat
tened SO as to swell unit profits.
The Republican, coalition must be held
culpable for the present infationary are
which is now dangerously widening.
This coalition played politics instead
of soberly considering legislation which
would benefit the nation as a whole in
stead of the inordinate prof1teers.
Now as the November elections are ap-
preaching the Republicans are attemp-
ting to make political capital out of the
economic muddle in which the nation is
presently gripped.
Fortunately, the voters memory is not
as short as the conservative Republicans
and their Democratic allies think.
The people remember how the whole
progressive legislative program which the
President called for in his initial message
to Congress has been sabotaged.
Come November, the people will have
their chance to vote with their eyes on the
score board.

Bringing Justice
TO HixReKa0RadS

I'm many parts of the South, Negroes are,
and have been, illegally treated and Of
ten brutally punished with no effective re-
course to law.
Police officers in the South have been
immunity whenever they have maltreated
Negroes without regard for their limo
cence or guilt.
When Isaac Woodward's eyes were
gouged out by a Batsburg, South Carolina
police chief, many skeptical citizens
throughout the nation felt that in spite of
the barbaric treatment administered to the
Negro veteran Of years, nothing would
be done to bring about justice to the police
culprit.
Fortunately, however, this fiendish po-
lice treatment incensed people and pro-
gressive organizations throughout e
country.
Spanked by the NAACP, the u. S. De-
partment of Justice under orders of Tom
c. Clark, Attorney General, made thor
ough investigation, and for the first time
forced the bringing to justice Of a white
police officer in the South for brutal treat
ment to a Negro.
Linwood L. Shull, S. C. police chief,
blatently admitted that he gouged out the
Negro Veterans eyes because Woodward
allegedly was keeping up disturbance
and resisted arrest.
Exactly seven months after that ghoul-
ish performance, under a Federal Civil
Rights statue which prohibits police from
depriving a person of rights secured by
the constitution and the laws Of the United
States, the South Carolina police chief
has been fined and sentenced to a year
in jail.

FORMER Secretary of Commerce, Henry
Wallace, set in motion, while in office,
the abolition of discrimination against Ne
groes in Washington's United States En-
ployment Service Office.
On complaint Of several organizations
regarding jimcrow filing and ladling out of
jibs, Wallace checked this situation and
what he discovered sufficiently irked him
enough to write to Secretary of Labor
Schwellenbach apprising him of this I'M
democratic job hiring practice going on
right in the nations capital city.
Wallace insisted that this jimcrow prac-
tice should be abolished Secretary Schwel-
lenbach promised action. That action came
two weeks ago when the Labor Secretary
ordered equal treatment" for Negroes and
all others who are serviced by the Wash
ington USES.
This belated step is healthy example
that the state employment services would
do well to follow without the necessity Of
forcing such action.
Negroes in many areas Of the country
notably in the South, are, beginning to feel
the dire effects either of mental and low
waged employment in face of infationary
prices, or the alternative Of unemploy-
ment.
Forecasting such an eventuality were
the proponents of the Fair Employment
Practices Bill. This situation, needless to
say, is not healthy for the general econ
omy nor for social and interracial harmo-
ny and progress.
The recent example of the Washington
USES office which is the only office that
will remain under Federal control, has now
established democratic pattern not like
" to be duplicated in state controlled en-
ployment offices.
The Estates rightists" are gloating over
the return of these offices to local control
where the Negro and other minorities can
be ''kept in their places"
In light of this prospect, Negroes, Jews,
Catholics, Mexicans, Nisei and their pro
gressive allies should elicit now pledges
from congressional candidates that they
will support the return of employment
service offices to Federal control.
This is vital step that must be accom-
plished if economic democracy for all Am
orleans is not further to be stifed and
postponed.

"TB" Statistics
And The Negro

AhNOE again puD1c alarm Is Delng mani
- tested over the high incidence Of tn-
berculosis in this and other cities. The
statistics, particularly, describing the dis
proportionately high incidence of "TB"
among Chicagos Negro population is in
deed cause for great common concern.
Unfortunately statistics which are i'm
properly discerned or connotated may
paint a false picture. For example, in
Chicago, official health studies indicate
that while Negroes constitute only one
twelfth of the population, they are afflict-
ed with 81 percent of the reported 'TB'
cases.
Granted that these findings are accu-
rate, what picture does the average non
Negro citizen receive when these figures
are presented unaugmented with the why's
of this and related maladies?
Health services generally are made
quate, but health services in so-called
Negro communities land those supple.
mented outside Of the community are
woefully inadequate for a ghettoized pop
ulation already crowded past the point of
bursting at the seams.
This over-long crowding has been

favorable medium for incubating "TB"
germs.
Other historical factors are important
in explaining the relatively high incidence
Of "TB" among Negroes. In the early his
tory Of this nation, Negroes were mostly
restricted to the fields and to domestic
employment in the South.
On the other hand, most other migrants
to large cities formerly lived in cities, or,
were mostly Of stock which had. Over the
years, a "TB" immunity was built up
which has made these people relatively
more resistent to tuberculosis.
But aside from this theory, we all are
aware that "TB" germs are better able to
thrive and spread where conditions like
bad housing and dietary deficiencies afford
a favoring medium.
And we repeat that this problem Of
overcoming ''TB" is a common menace
and all citizen elements should SO regard
it as such and unitedly aid in stamping it
out. For it must be remembered that COM
municable diseases like "TB" are not
localized nor segregated" They will af-
fict the immunized even in areas re-
mote from the localities Of greatest Incl
dence. The correctives are more and bet

of the South Carolina police chief to jus
tice is great forward step, the degree of
justice accorded him for his unwarranted
and illegal brutality is travesty.
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that steps
will be taken to bring this sentence closer
in line with the barbaric thinking and &C
ton which prompted it.
This must be done in order to make this
a genuine worthwhile precedent in Sc

The Nuremberg
Verdict

THE people of the world are now ponder
ing the decision handed down by the
International Tribunal at Nuremberg, at
which many Of Hitler's gang were SEN
fenced to hang.
We have been told that lasting prece-
dent has been established in erecting new
cornerstone in international law, namely,
that responsible aggressors will be forever
held guilty for their maniacal incitations
to war.
Many persons who hold that the Nazis
were guilty of fomenting the recent World
War II, nevertheless are wondering if the
power nation victors were on solid moral
grounds in holding the visible Nazi lead
ers, alone, culpable.
Their contention centered on the fact
that elements both in England and the
United States colluded in aiding Hitler and
his dastardly gangsters to power.
OF course Hitler was aided, and, of
course the Nuremberg trial was not wholly
a moral issue of right one side and
wrong on the other. This fact is too widely
known and too obvious to necessitate re-
statement here. For the analogy is the
same as when applied to public response
biity for murderers in our own society.
What is of greatest significance is that
a precedent in international law has been
established in which nation or its leaders
Of aggressive war can legally be brought
to justice for the crime of war.
In few specific respects the Nuremberg
trial verdict left much to be desired. 1t was
not enough to punish the visible leaders,
vandals and known enemies Of mankind
that they were.
Why was Won Papen, the uncanny diplo-
mat acknowledgements, who was known
exoansionist, advocate, not also given the
death penalty? Rather, he was allowed to
60 free.
Also, why was Hjalmar Schacht, who
was recognized by every literate person
throughout the world as the financial wiz
ard of Nazi Germany, likewise permitted
to 60 free?
For all Of his maniacal gesturing and
pathological thinking, Hitler would not
have gotten to first base without the expert
financing set into motion by Schacht and
other invisible collutionists.
The international banking fraternity
highly regarded Schacht, and doubtless ad-
mired his skillful economic Juggling.
Worthless marks suddenly became animal
ed with value.
The Nuremberg trial is only begin
ming. All active collusionists in promoting
aggressive war both within or without gull
ty nations, ought be brought to justice
also. For failure to do so simply would be
like eradicating external symptoms of the
disease without doing anything also
about wiping out the causative or sparkling
sources.
The Nuremberg trial, however, must be
regarded as beginning toward applying q
moral basis to international law specific

ally dealing with war. With all of its i'm
projections, that beginning is therefore of
monumental significance.
