 Again the rescue craft messaged there was no known loss of life on the Yukon. Only half of the vessel broke in two Monday night.

 Several of us sat in the cabin joking. There was no hysteria. We knew we were on the rocks but were sure rescue would come. Af- ter a while all were ordered up front because the back of the ship was breaking up. Huge waves were coming over the turret where I sat.
 Finally we began to give up hope. knew the end had come, so did the others. There was still no hysteria. Just as we were re- signed to death a motor launch from the Onondaga came up. I never saw more welcome sight in my life.
 A rope was lowered and wo- men and children slid down. One woman fell in the water but was rescued. This morning we were brought to Seward.
 The heroic rescue efforts of the Coast Guard and others, in remov- ing all persons from the Yukon; battling willawaw seas which sent twenty to thirty foot waves break ing over the boat is to be com mended. All passengers give heart felt thanks to them.

Unable to obtain a list of the rescued passengers, and feeling great anxiety over the safety of their parents, MT. and Mrs. Leo Seidenverg and MT. and Mrs. Otis Rank, who were passengers on the ill-fated Yukon, Mayor Ed Seiden- verg and Ken Rank left yesterday by Alaska Airlines for Anchorage.
 A message received yesterday afternoon from Ken Rank stated that his mother, 72 years old, was in the Seward General hospital. She was uninjured, but it is feared she will suffer greatly from shock.

NAACP Hits Suspension Of Negro E EnIiStments

New York, July Is - Officials of
 the NAACP revealed to day that the number of letters written by Negro vets expressing bitterness over conditions they find upon re- turning to civilian life have reached alarming proportions. AL though the shocking Isaac Wood ard case now being carried on by the NAACP has spurred the most comment from vet writers, the re- cent announcement by the War
 Department that Negro enlist ments are/no longer wanted by the armed forces has resulted in a furry of bitter comment. 1t is usually pointed out in these let ters that the irony of the situa- tion, where the War Department issues such a directive at the same time it drastically tightens draft deferment provisions, is not lost on these Negroes who only a short while ago were fighting ''to make

 Walter White, NAACP Execu- tive Secretary, commenting on the suspension of Negro enlistments also called attention to the fact that many Negro enlistments also called attention to the fact that many Negro GI's taking advant- age of the Army's offer of selec- tion of theater privileges for re- enlistments, found after enlisting for another "hitch" were then told that the order virtually meant flor whites only" Thus Negroes who had reenlisted for service in the ETC found themselves signed up again but excluded from ETO. 'I know of at least one instance where a CT has preferred to be taken to the stockade, "said MT. White.

The North End Community Gen. ter's Stay At Home Camp for chil- dren between the ages 6-14 opened July 8 and will continue through August 16. The camp is divided into two periods. In the morning, 9-12 for ages 6-11, and afternoon hours, 1-4:30 for ages 12-14.

The council represents them and also takes into consideration dis cipline problems. The youngsters have also begun a camp newspa- per and are diligently working on it.
 In keeping with the theme, FIiving In Our Community" Tuesdays and Thursdays are scheduled for interest trips to pub lie buildings, parks, radio stations, and all the other points of inter est within our city.

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THE FORMER MAN
 POWER COMMISSIONER
By James E. Shankel

Your CHRONlCLE reporter whom I have known over a period of years, has requested a state. ment of opinion from me regard. ing the importance of a Negro Journal here in Connecticut:"
 Journalism can be a vital force in the lives of a race, a people ol a nation; in their struggle fol equality, justice, and a proper evaluation of human rights. All of mankind's progress is mirrored in the record of past and present human activity. It must not come to be that we shall ever lose sight of a sense of justice for all men; nor shall justice fail if you and keep lever burning before man. kinds vagrant steps kindly light of hope"
 William J. Fitzgerald, fifty-nine years of age, born, reared and at tended school in the city of Nor wich, Connecticut, where he is fondly known as Billy" Fitzger- ald, labor's best friend. A work ing background, first as moulder for the Richmond Radiator Com pany, by whom he was employed for twenty-six years, during the last sixteen of which he was su- perintendent for the company and where many of the men holding key positions under his direction were colored men. Once Mayor of Norwich; twice state senator Tn Hartford; twice U. s. Congress- man; and state Director for the War Man Power Commission dur ing the recent war.
 The story of William J. Fitz- gerald is the story of a man who came, saw and conquered by hard work, diligent application and un- swerving determination. A man who literally grew in understand ing from the streets of his be- loved home town to a seat in the highest legislative body in the and a voice in the affairs ofmen.
 Greatest of all MT. FitZgerald's accomplishments is an enviable ability to remain natural and com pletely unaffected despite a sue cession of high honors of which any American anywhere might well be peacock-proud. An ability to remain, at heart, one of the people, to weigh the consequences of legislation hostile to the inter est of the laboring man, to sue cessfully bargain in labors behalf, has always been Billy forte.
 To that end he has actually voiced labor's claim unceasingly for more than thirty-five years from the banks of Norwich on the Thames to the gates of Washing ton on the Potomac and back again.
 Sitting here today, chatting with labor's champion in a thousand and one hard battles, one gathered that there are undoubtedly hidden wells of human equity brimming beneath that calm exterior of Will liam J. Fitzgerald, and that our nation in it's aspirations for dis tinction in the world might well do with other Americans, white or black, who have tread "Democ- racy's hig road of "service to the people" to the apex of achieve ment
