Rankin BODY
begins A-bomb
union hunt

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. = (FP) -
The Rankin un-American COM
mittee has begun an inquisition
here in connection with AFL or
ganization of A-bomb workers.
Ernie Adamson, the commit
tees chief counsel, announced
upon his arrival that he is inves-
tigating a report the AFL has a
million dollar slush fund" for
use in, organizing the men and
women who make the atom
bomb.
1--WE want to know if the ALL
intends to spend 81 million at the
atomic plants and what they are
going to spend it for" Adamson
said. ''Pd like to know how they
can spend that much money legi-
timately."
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-09-07

It's the 5-year-old California
Labor School here, sponsored by
rs ALL, CLIO and railroad unions.
About $3.50 of its 800 students are
veterans but there is room for
300 or 400 more.
Some 5000 of the veteran stu
dents, as compared with $50 of
the student body as a whole, are
or have been union members. A
quarter of them are Negroes,
mostly from the deep south.
81 COULDN'T exercise my full
rights for education under the
CT bill in Mississippi" said one
of them. ''I'm training here to
arm for the fight for real de-
mocracy in the SOUTH" He picked
the right place. The school was
one of 10 winners of the Frank
Sinatra-RKO awards for the best
work in improving race relations.
The full course takes Is weeks
with s. and 10-week courses for
students pressed for time. The
fall term opens Sept. 3. Special
courses for veterans are offered
in labor organization, labor jour
nalism, industrial arts and Gre
alive writing. Twelve of the pre-
sent students are writing books
as their projects in this last
course.) The school also helps
the vets get low-cost housing and
parttime jobs. Although it orig
inally specialized in labor sub
jects, the school now offers
courses in history, economics,
psychology, languages, music
and dramaticS.
The vets don't get all their edu-
cation in classrooms and from
textbooks. They learn the ABCs
of unionism by doing voluntary
organizing, sitting in at union
meetings and accompanying I'm.
ion officers on their daily rounds.

Murray hits
fnings at
Aberdeen,Md.

WASHINGTON = (FP) -
CLIO President Philip Murray last
week urged War Secretary Rob.
ert Patterson to provide due pro-
cess of law for five unionists
fired June &c from their Aber-
deem Proving Grounds jobs with
out specific charges or trial.
The five men, all officials of
Local $50, United Public Workers
(CIO), were discharged for "sus-
pected Communist activity" A
protest message to Patterson
signed by so Aberdeen scientists
had been kicked around in typical
army fashion by Ordnance Dept.
generals for several weeks.
Murray's letter, urging fair
treatment, said charges of dis.
loyalty should be substantiated
by witnesses and evidence at a
fair hearing before an impair
tiaI tribunal. "The absence of
such due process until now"
he said, twill tend to lower the
morale of all public servants,
and hence to reduce the ef-
fecdveness of our government
service"

speaking

lection not out of charity. Only
those who out of blood coin gold
send men to the wars for chaIita
BILE reasons. Labor must act and
at once to clarity its own house
on this issue. Delay will be fatal.
Failupe to protect the Jews of
Germany lead to World War IL
Failure to fight the terror now
directed against Negroes can
lead to World War III.
THE TRUTH of this lies in the
fact that the attack by American
monopoly upon the American
people is a conscious, deliberate
and calculated move, a necessary
step on its road to world con-
quest. American imperialism
must destroy the democratic in
situations of this country before
the people can be lead into an
other blood bath. 1t knows this.
Do we?
Already the plans for the DOM
ination of the world by American
fascist minded National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers are more
or less clear. American troops
remain in Sc countries. Why?
American military forces direct
reaction in China. Why? Ameri-
can imperialism in the United
Nations, in its press and pulpit
is frantically beating the war
drum against the Soviet Union.
American Imperialism is on the
march to world domination. That
is the why.

and also to act in Self-defense.
Time favors reaction.
In less than two months, four
teen known lynchings of Negro
citizens have occurred; two mob
actions inspired by white supre-
macistS are known; a host of
other sadistic acts of terror have
taken place. This terror is not
being confined to the South. New
York, Illinois, Missouri, Califor-
mia, Texas and in the North East
and North West are the scenes of
cannibalistic orgies against Ne.
gro Americans.
THE PICTURE in a thousand
aspects resembles the rise of
Nazi terror in Hitler land in the
1905. Therein lies the difference
with yesterdays lynchings. The
most startling feature reveals
the Ku Klux Khan developing as
the main instrument of terror.
The Klan seems now an official
ly blessed terror weapon of
American Big Business and its
landlord henchmen, truly a storm
trooper organization. The De-
partment of Justice winkS at its
murderings, the F.B.I. is not con-
cerned.
Here is no new crisis in race
relations. We are confronted now
W ii a terror drive, an organized
campaign of terror directed
physically against Negro Amer
lea. But the ultimate political OBJ,
jectives are not difficult to un-
derstand. Monopoly is splitting
the progressive camp. One Sec
ton is being split away and
beaten into submission, beaten if
possible into acceptance of a
serni-slave status. The other sec
ton of our population shows no
grave concern.
The Negro is first selected be-
cause the history of America re-
veals that attacks of violence
against Negroes are least dis
turbing to white America. There
in lies the menace of this terror
campaign. White progressives
are not truly alarmed. If this
attack succeeds terror in full vol
une will be launched next
against labor, the Jewish people,
c t h l C laity and other
groupings. This is the f q els
pattern. 1t succeeded in Ger
many. 1t succeeded in France.
Reaction believes it can succeed
here-it can.
so FAR this terroristic ma
neuvre has succeeded. The trade
unions show no clear recognition
that they are the ultimate object
of this terror and therefore must
act to stop it now. They have not
yet learned to accept the Negro
as a full partner in the progress
sive ranks. They do not see that
what hurts Negro America in
jures them. They do not see that
the Negro-labor alliance is nat
ura1.
The situation is dangerous in
the extreme. White middle class
America will truly rally to fight
the terror against Negro America
only if it sees labor in action
against the Negro baiters and if
labor explains fully why it acts.
Of course labor's action in this
fight for Negro rights is no al
truistic purely humanitarian mat
ter. The fight has its moral side
but this is not the major char

ONE of the immediate aims Of
the terror however is to prevent
the organization of Southern
labor by the ALL. and CLIO.
American imperialism fears the
arousing of Southern labor. The
organization of Southern labor
will and must bring about the
destruction of Wall Streets ma
jor ally the lynch landlords from
whose ranks come the Jimmy
Byrnes, Tom Clarks, Theodore
Bilboes, Talmadges, Rankins and
Connollys.
This crew of butchers of black
flesh are also the legal Ratchet
men of Wall street in Congress,
the State Department of Justice
so-called. Big money cannot lose
this cannibal crew at this mo-
mentous hour.
1t needs them desperately -
to organize and lead the terror
nationally and internationally.
Let us drive this gang out OF
politics.
ANOTHER aim of the terror is
to smash the militancy of the
Negro veterans. Big Bushes is
seeking to prevent Negro and
white veterans from getting to-
gether around the housing issue,
the CT. Bill of Rights and tie
fight against initiation. Let us
strengthen the battle around
these issues.
The picture is alarming. The
terror drive against Negro Amer
lea is flank attack upon Amer
lean democracy. Fascism will
seek to consolidate its forces
through this drive. 1t may sue
coed. The Khan will be spread
across the nation and become
the storm trooper movement Of
America if it succeeds. White
America must wake up. The dam
ger is terrifying like the early
days of fascist terror in Ger
many.
But we of progressive Amer
lea can win If we fully recOg-
nize the menace. Clarity, more
clarity and still more clarity Is
needed. Struggle, desperate
struggle is needed.

Orchard Pest May Be
Aided by DDT Use

The European red mite--a spider
smaller than the head of a pin
cannot be controlled by DDT. On
the contrary, this fruit tree pest may
even increase in numbers where
DDT sprays are used, DR.. Ralph
W. Dean of Poughkeepsie, assistant
professor of entomology at the Hud-
son Valley Fruit Investigations lab
oratory, declared.
Two insect predators that feed on
the red mites are commonly found
in our orchards, he explained. One
is a tiny, black ladybird beetle; the
other a true bug. At times, they
may be the influence which decides
whether or not the mites will be-
come destructive. II, at such a
time, they are killed out by DDT
sprays, the mites will increase un-
checked. This has happened in
many places where DDT sprays
were applied.
The mite does its damage in
directly. by feeding on the juices
of leaves and slowing down their
photosynthetic activity so that they
do not manufacture the sugars to
produce good fruit, Dr. Dean point
ed out.
