 The President said that in the light of the terrible ordeal which the Jewish people of Europe en- dured during the recent wars and the crisis now existing, "I cannot believe that program of imme- diate action along the lines sug- gested above could not be worked out with the cooperation of all people concerned"

Hudson Bay Co.'s Ship Nascopie
 Back From Arctic

MONTREAL, Oct. 4. P)-The Hudson Bay company's 277th an- nual trip into the Arctic was com pleted yesterday as the supply ship Nascopie returned to Mont real with silver fox skins bought from the Eskimos for S20 pelt. The company has sent its vessels into the northland since 1870.
 This years voyage took three months. Steaming out of Montreal the Nascopie carried medical equipment, including an x-ray machine, for the treatment of Es- kimos, Indians and fur trappers.
 "We had radar aboard for the first time," Captain James Wa ters said, "but you need more than that when you're trapped in the ice floes.

Ernest Bevin Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the British Labor Government is a rough who the hard without the Etonian social which often camouflage the mailed fist of British mper ialsm He has acquired reputation for bluntness When he something, he it. His anti-Semtc remarks at the Labour Party Conference in
 England, last week too extended to be slip of the tongue. Echong the sentiments always voiced by Sir Oswald Mosey the leader of the Fascist Party Britain
 who reduce the British people under the subjec tion of Hitlerte Germany, MT. Bevn has committed outrage which shocks Hberty-ovng and women throughout the world.
 It was enough for MT. Bevin to reveal the inhu nanty his policy in refusing entry of 100000 Jewish victims of Hterite oppression into Palestine He went out of his to add insult to injury by his Nazke sur against Jewish Americans, whose contributions have adorned every phase of national life Where would the United States be it not for Haym Solomon who financed the Revolutionary War of 1776?

1 life sentence because it was not exclusively proven that he was
 guilty of the crime as charged. Primary evidence at any trial is the confession of the accused. The court-martial was presented with confession by Jones, and had It been allowed to stand, there would have been good and sufficient grounds to believe that he was
 guilty, but the confession was thrown out. Bearing in mind that five of the judges were southern CTS, steeped in rigid military dis cipline and Unrelenting southern prejudice, you VII agree that there must have been something rotten about the confession and the man. her in which it was obtained. Four members of the Military Police testified that they had seen Jones beaten for eight hours by Army Criminal Investigation men to ob- tain it.
 A fellow prisoner of Jones' It. Ernest Fidello, who shared the same detention barracks with him, was defense counsel. Just imagine a civilian on trial for his life hav- ing a fellow prisoner for law yer, and you'll get an idea of the dignity of Jones' defense.
 The atmosphere in the Paris courtroom was certainly not whole some enough to inspire confidence in the verdict. Jones halls from Cleveland, Ohio and he might have come from any of the cities of the United States where this is being read. He was inducted into the U. IS. military machine, and was taught to kill mercilessly. At the same time he was taught to stay in his place. Whatever the offense for which he was being pursued so that he could be locked up, he was being hunted down as relentlessly as any Nazi might have been dur ing war time.
 As Negro who had stood ready to die for the freedom that he knew he could never enjoy, he was probably fed up and quite willing to escape into the uncertain ex- istence of deserter, but it is reasonable to assume that had he not been forced into the avocation of murder, the idea would never have entered his head. Here, ob- viously is a miscarriage of mili- tary justice. The case of Eddie Jones merits review by an author ity higher and less biased than that before which he lost his lib- erty for life.

Look Out For Poison Ivy

When summertime comes along, the desire to take to the open road becomes strong. Everything is fresh and new and alive. We want to sit in the grass, climb a tree or pick flowers.
 Well, there's one flower or plant it's a good idea to be on the look out for in order to avoid - and it's name will tell you why: POI SON IVY.
 It's pretty thing and gets around wherever you do - along roadsides, in picnic grounds and recreational areas, on tree trunks (it's a clinging vine) and fences. It's easily spotted, having three part leaves, usually red and green, which are smooth and glossy.
 If you get too close to this plant you will soon know. Whatever part of your skin has rubbed against it will suddenly itch, get red and burn. Blisters may break out.
 If it's bad case, you should see a doctor. But in the meantime, or if the case is mild, you can wash the exposed area with a strong laundry soap, which will remove the oily resins causing the irrita- tion. Don't use toilet soap-it's too mild; don't use cold creams or

.AVCCalls For All Negro Vets

Chicago-On the eve of the AVG national convention in Des Moines Chairman Charles V. Bolte of the American Veterans Committee last week, called on all Negro vet erans to join the organization be- cause of it's interracial policy and it's fight against Jim Crow.
 Individual chapters of the AVG are bound by it's national policy to associate themselves with all races, B'olte declareds in an art icle Limited In Peace As In War; in the July issue of Negro Digest. Negro-white chapters will be formed throughout the entire country regardless of prevailing Jim Crow customs.
 Attitudes which favor greater opportunities and improved living conditions for the Negro are atti- tudes that build a stronger and more democratic America for all Americans" Bolte states. "It is for this kind of world that the AVG is working"
 The AVG, Bolte says, has backed the sixty-five cent wage minimum, the full employment bill, and poll tax repeal.

This plant is found in swamps and bogs, but it's also often hidden in clumps of small shrubs. The latter is the more difficult to find and therefore more dangerous. The leaves run in series or groups of four to six leaflets.
 Although more severe than poi son ivy, the care, pending a visit to physician, is the same because both are essentially skin irrita- tions.
 Before going on summer outing it might be good idea to find out in advance what the plants look like. You can find them in a nature book, or you can write your local or state health department for pamphlet on plants harmful to man.

MAGAZINE RACK
By Samuel P. Perry, Jr.

| (THE FIGHTER - John Caswen
 Smith, Atlantic Monthly, May)
 One of the Atlantic's series of FIRSTS, short stories written by
 young budding writers, this short
 story gives the objective reader an
 angle on the unfairness of the
 general public and law enforce ment officers towards parolees. For the first time, MT. Smith presents the Negro's side, not that it's any different from that of his white brother, but that there's a simil- arity in the prejudicial attitudes engendered by MT. and Mrs. John Q. Public towards 10th parolees- Negro and white.
 The problem of all paroIees is basically the same. But, MT. Smith fails to underline the difference in approach to the Negro parolees' problems in readjusting them selves to the society which they have wronged and paid the penal ty thereto. Such an emphasis on the realistic differences would have evoked more sympathy for the main Character, Poke, from the reader familiar with socio-econo- mic problems. Either a contrast or a more compelling delineation of the inner motivations of the main character would have lent that much more power to MT. smiths main thesis - the injust- ice and misunderstanding which stalks the average Negro paroIee everywhere in his miIieu. The in cldents which MT. Smith uses to support his argument are we'll osed' but are more or less expect ed by the average reader. MT. smith will indubitabIy develop, as tlme goes on, a style, based on deineation of character, wisely used in short stories, and not one based on incidents, common only to novels.

SOUTHERN PAPERS BIAS

To the editor:
 Relative to Southern papers in-
 suits to colored people: I was won dering if there isn't something that
 we could do to remedy this situa-
 tion, for example in my home, Westmoreland County, Virginia, there is a paper called the North ern Neck News and during the summer of nineteen forty-four l was visiting the old homestead with my sister and I got one of the weekly issues. noticed that they published the news of all the white churches ana were very def initely silent on the news of the colored churches, and yet the col ored churches are much larger as rule in northern Virginia than the white churches. So I wrote the editor of this paper and asked him why he ignored the news of these great colored Baptist Churches and I also asked him why was it that when a white person of no signi- fcance dies that they give his death much publicity and that when a colored person of some note and consequence passes on that they ignore him. Even our 0raat northern dailies are not as liberal on this subject as they should be; they publicize the crime news of colored people, but they will not publicize the good news and accomplishments by colored people.

SOUTHERN JUDGES HELP JUSTICE AND NEGRO GI GETS LIFE

 GETS LIFE
 This is not a treatise to prove
 that murder under any clrcum-
 stances is justifable, nor is it in
 tended to question the practice o1 meting out punishment in murder cases. This corner has always con- tended that the taking of human life is crime against society whether the act is committed by an individual, or by the precision trained armies that have been hopped up with patriotism and the religious rightness of their cause
 When Eddie Jones, Jr., returned the fire of the military police who were pursuing him and. two other soldiers in Paris a few months back, his instincts, which had been sharpened by the training he had received, prompted him to return the fire in self-defense. He was a soldier, and he had been taught to kill or be killed. He killed, and following his capture, he was tried before an Army court-martial. He was found guilty, and is now serv- ing a sentence of life. Everything seems to be in order about this case except the circumstances, and when they are examined carefully, you will find that the cynical hand of Southern justice has reached way over into Paris, France to es- tablish the two-facedness of American democracy.
 Sitting in austere, Bourbon dignity to hear the case were five judges from southern states. On the surface, their pres ence would presupposed a rugged time for the hapless CT who fought the war on the victorious side and yet lost, but these five gentlemen of the South went below the surface. Their par tiality was so pronounced, and their determination to convict Jones was so obvious, It. Harry Cohen, the condemned youths de- fense counsel resigned as a pro- test. It can be presumed that Co., hens resignation acted to prevent Jones' being sentenced to the gal lows. A sentence of death would have attracted worldwide atten- tion, and would have inspired a re- view of the trial. A review of the trial, even at this time would add further credence to the growing belief that the U. s. Army is no place for an American Negro to look for justice. Jones received a

Dear Maurice, or Robert q hope)
 This is the Corners opening gun for an integrated army. If you have the Gillem Report throw it out the window. The place to start integrating is in those incubators of armies, the National Guard Units. We should start there by doing away with those separate and Jim Crow companies, batta- lions and regiments. By now every one knows the rocking the black Guard units got once the battle chips were down. If we black boys must fight and die for democracy, let us do it shoulder to shoulder with our white brothers, as in- dividuals and not in separate units.
 Our boys proved in the mixed Officer Candidate Schools that, given the same opportunity and training, the color of the skin makes no difference. Of course you will find some of our weak black officers objecting to this line, but the strong and efficient boys know they have nothing to fear at the hands of integration.
 Misft colored officers were the order of the day in this war. A survey of the rank marks on re- turning men indicate that real men got KIP and the Uncle Toms the promotions. see many a man who could not possibly qualify for

egardleSS Ot the emblem on the shoulder it was never wide enough to keep the buck private from shining through. The unlettered haf-lettered and down right illit- crate who came home suffering from officers and gentlemen delu- sions is astounding.
 The situation has all the ear marks of a deliberate plan to build up a mass of evidence to prove that black men and officer material don't mix. The fact that the lives of gallant black soldiers were sacrificed to prove the phony white supremacy theory made no difference to the southern military hierarchy.
 The only answer, my dear Gov ernor, is integration in the Ma tional Guards all over the country. And what better state to start this enlightened movement than Massachusetts.
 Opposition must be expected from our backward citizens, even those in high places. They will as usual beat the drum for something of their own, so that they can sport around as big fish in a stag nant little pond. They refuse to learn that something of their own always proves to be nothing at all.
