United Nations
Cannot End
Discrimination
By LUCILLE SELL

Lake Success, N. Y. (NNPA)-
The United Nations cannot wipe
out race discrimination while in
dividual nations practice it, de-
clared E. B. Kalibala, an African,
who is an expert consultant on
mandatory affairs in the United
Nations Organization, last Mon
day.
The problem Of discrimination
is too broad and only elimination
of political and economic discrim-
ination should be attempted now,
Kalibala said.
eff you want to fight crime
you must find its cause first"
explained Kalibala, who formerly
lived in Uganda in Africa. "In
other words, you must go step by
step and not rush head on to
tackle discrimination at once" he
added.
Turning to the fight against
discrimination on the home front,
Mr.. Kalibala took the position
that colored people in the United
States should stop fighting over
national legislation among them
Selves but secure better educa-
ton and training to cope with the
situation.
He deplored the fact that ST.
100000 a day is spent in Harlem
to fight unemployment, adding
that that amount of money could
be more effectively used as an
economic weapon to try and get
what the people want.
He argued that he fair employ
ment practice law in effect in
New York State is useless be-
cause equal opportunity will not
qualify man for a job.
Contending that intermarriage
and equality of education were
not so important to the solution
Of the problem, Mr.. Kalibala ask
ed: sWhat good is it for colored
people to go to school with white
people when they cannot get jobs
afterwards ?"
The African, who had lived in
tribal life until he was six, called
on the churches to unite nations
in the brotherhood of man. Only
through the help of the churches
and labor organizations can the
United Nations overcome the prob
lem Of discrimination, Kalibala as
serted.
"The idea of discrimination
should be eliminated in the vo-
cabulary Of mankind. In fact il

he is chairman, will hold public
hearing here beginning Deem
Der IL on charges that Senator
Theodore G. (The NAM Bilbo,

tracts were accepted by him as

sistant committee counsel, has
outlined the charges as follows:
l. That Bilbo received a $685.
900 contribution from MISSISSIPPI
pi war contractor in September
1912.
2. Thst he received between
$4,000 and $4,000 from other wal
contractors in 1941 and 1912.
8. That war contractors built
an artificial lake = with show
place island in the middle - on
Bilbo's property at Poplarville,
Mississippi; built his Dream
House No. 2" on the island, and
later furnished it for him.

Bilbo the new Cadillac sedan in
which he narrowly escaped serious
injury in an accident recently.
5. That Bilbo solicited funds to
construct a parsonage for the Jun
iper Grove Baptist Church in Pop
larville and later built the parson-
age but still holds the title tt
the dwelling and has not let the
minister move in.

MORE Than INN WITNESSES HERE FOR START OF HEARING
Bishop Sims
Charge unfriock-
ing Illegal
Deny Refusing to Carry Out
Orders of Council

Philadelphia (NNPA) - T h e
Rev. David H. Sims declared last
Saturday that his "unfrocking"
as a bishop of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church by a spec
ial session of the General Con-
ference was illegal.
The position taken by the Rev.
Mr.. Sims indicates that the ques-
tion Of the legality of the extra
session of the General Conference
called by ten of sixteen bishops of
the church, will be threshed out
in the courts. Already pending
in Washington, D. c., is a suit
to restrain A. S. Jackson, secre-
tary-treasurer of the A.M.E.
Church, from paying out any
funds of the church to defray the
expenses of the extra session of
the General Conference, held in
Little Rock, Arkansas, November
20-23. This suit questions the
legality of the call for the extra
session.
The Rev. Mr.. Sims contends
that before the extra session of
the General Conference took the
action that it did, formal charges
should have been preferred against
him and he should have been given
an opportunity to answer the COM
plants. He said the Book of Dis
cipline of the A.M.E. Church pro-
vides for such hearing.
Announcement of the "unfrock-
ing" of Bishop Sims was made in
Little Rock last Thursday by the
Rev. D. Ormonde Walker, of Buff
falo, New York, the floor leader
of the General Conference. This
action was unprecedented.
DR.. Walker said the Rev. Mr..
Sims was accused of carrying out
a decree Of. the Bishops Council,
which met in Kansas City, Kan
sas, June 81, and designated Bish-
OPP R. R. Wright, Jr., Of Wilber-
force, Ohio, as an associate bish-
op of the Rev. Mr.. Sims to pre-
side over the New York Annual
Conference. He also said the ac-
ton was taken because the Rev.
Mr.. Sims had resorted to the civil
courts in an attempt to avoid car
rying out the instructions of the
Bishops Council.
81 deny refusing to carry out
the decree of the Bishops Coun-
Gill;" the Rev. Mr.. Sims said, "and
went to the courts as a last re-
sort because the decree of the
Council was Ambiguous. | was
perfectly willing for Bishop
Wright to be associate bishop with
me in the New York conference.
But he insisted upon superseding
me.
A bishop since 1882, the Rev.
Mr.. Sims has been head of the
church's first Episcopal district
which includes New York, New
England, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
New Jersey, Canada and Bermu-
,da.
According to DIR. Walker, of the
1888 delegates eligible to vote in
the extra session of the General
conference, 500 favored a recon-
mendation of the Episcopal Com
mittee that the Rev. Mr.. Sims

Negroes Returned
To States After
Clash With Whites
Clash Followed Barring of Italian
Women from Camp
Entertainment

The entire S38th Aviation Engl-
neer Battalion consisting Of about
1000 men, has been returned ia
the United States from Italy be-
cause some of it's members were
involved in a clash with white
American soldiers in Caserta, it
was learned here last Wednesday.
Twenty-eight members of the
838th Battalion were reported to
be held in confinement at Livorno,
Italy as result of the clash. A
colored woman Red Cross worker,
a Mrs. Mildred A. Fortson of
Youngstown, Ohio, also was re-
ported to have been taken into
custody. The American Red Cross
said last Wednesday, however,
that she has returned to this coun-
try. She is the daughter of Mrs.
Estelle Clark, also of Youngstown.
5 According to information re-
ceived here, the trouble began
when 800 requirements were as
signed to the 838th, which was
stationed near Caserta.
Army Information and Educa-
ton officers Immediately set about
arranging suitable recreational
facilities for the troops within
their camp in order to prevent
their crowding into Caserta on
leave. To carry out their arrange
ments Italian women were trans
ported from Caserta to take part
in activities at the camp.
This plan worked WE'LL. it was
reported. until a sudden change
of officer personnel in the S39th
took place. According to reports,
the rev white officers Immediate
ly barred the Italian women from
attending affairs at the camp and
when the colored soldiers sought
entertainment in Caserta clash
with which troops over the women
followed.
The conflict reached a climax
when white troops are alleged to
have gone to their area after fist
fights, armed themselves, and re-
turned led by their company Of
ficers.
The colored troops are reported
to have gone to their area, broken
into their supply room and OBJ
tanned arms.
No report on the outcome OF the
battle was available, but immed-
lately following the incident the
battalion was placed aboard ship
and returned to the United States
Members of the battalion said the
outfit was returned to the States
so suddenly that port authorities
in this country had not been notl-
fled of the time of their arrival
and the units ship was forced to
wait in the harbor several days
before the troops could embark.
The War Department admitted
that the unit had been ordered
back to the states but would not
comment on the cause. The 830th
was overseas almost two years.
Information concerning the unit
was given to William A. Hill, exc
cutive secretary of the District
of Columbia Branch of the Nation
al Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, who COM
municated with the War Depart
ment.
Mr.. Hill was informed that the
information had been transmitted
to Marcus H. Ray, civilian aide to
the Secretary of War, who is tour
ing United States Army installa-
tions in the European Theater,
and he in turn had notified the
Department that he would look
into the matter.

Because your metabolism is at a

why you probably awaken with a

particularly are apt to look wan In
the early hours. A famous cosmetic
outfit has come up with tint which
gives a natural blush to pale skins.

I
love with him, or just using him
for a date? Should he ask for q
kiss, or take it2 And one lad wanted
to know whether he should flash the
engagement ring before the girls
eyes and let her see what she would
get If she said "yes." And, anyway.
what did fellow say when he
popped the question?
| Now, Of course. no given tech
nique of courtship that is air-tight
and foolproof has been formulated
for every girl has her own pet dream
of how she wishes to be won, and so
the line that might be a knockout
with one may turn into a boomerang
with another.
Hence the best tip that I can give
to the lad who has found the girl
who is his hearts desire, is to be
bold and persistent. Faint heart
ne'er won fair lady. Ask for what
you want and keep on asking until
you get it. Many girl marries the
suitor she has turned down hun
dred times and lives happily ever
after.
AS for telling when a girl is really
in love with you, that is easy. There
is one test that never fails. II she
comes down with her hat on when
you date her. ready to step out to
some place Of amusement, you are
Just dinner to her and some one
to take her dancing. But II she sug-
gests quiet evening at home. she is
figuring on saving your money and
sharing your income.
In your gifts to a girl don't be
either sniggardly or extravagant. If
YOU have beer and hot dog income,
don't feed her on champagne and
caviar. Girls who work have a
pretty shrewd idea Of just how much
their boy friends make, and they
don't want to be the wives who will
spend the first five years of their
marriage In pinching pennies to pay
| for the presents their husbands
made them when they were court
ing them. The one gift that always
makes hit with a woman is
something personal that shows that
the man thought about her taste
and remembered what she liked.
Unless you are sure you are a
great lover, don't attempt the ro-
mantle role. Be yourself. Don't
quote poetry and tell the girl that
you will take her to live in an ivory
tower and that her lily white hands
shall never do aught but stroke your
weary brow. Just hand her a good,
honest, business proposition about
the state of your affections and your
pocketbook and convince her that
She will have monopoly on both as
long as you live, and she will sign on
the dotted line.
As for how to pop the question, 1t
doesn't matter how you do 1t. It is
all one, whether you write 1t, or
telegraph 1t, or choke on your
Adams apple trying to say 1t. If
the girl loves you and wants you,
she will say "yes." And II she Is
allergic to you, she will decline with
thanks. And that's that.

It seems to me the reader who
wrote in about bottled gas ranges
VS.. electric ranges should have
both sides of the story SO that she
can make an intelligent decision.
Apparently Mrs. j. r. H. has never
used bottled gas and perhaps my
experience would interest her, too.
FIRST, changed from an electric
range to bottled gas because Of the
cost and have been delighted with
the gas because of the saving. My
beautiful gas range Is much faster,
and, instead OF just three or four
settings on the burner. I can turn
the valve to any size flame I need.
Further, there is no need to wait for
elements to get hot. I lust turn the

valve and start to cook instantly.
When ! turn the valve OF, the heat
stops, and no stored-up heat In m
element continues to pour out into
my kitchen.
My pots and pans stay sparkling
clean because bottled gas is so clean,
and my whole kitchen is cleaner and
cooler. I don't keep flowers on my
gas range because I use It for q work
table, but I presume I could. ! use
my oven and my broiler q great deal
and they are wonderful.
We use bottled gas for our gas
refrigerator and automatic water
heater, too, and I'll never change
again. It's very economical.

1t is generally assumed that a
knowledge Of how to conduct a

did; but it appears that such is not
the case, and that the art OF Pitch

so apt to end in disappointment,
that many men never have the
