Director Says
Area Leaders
Bias Headed
Explain Difficulty
Of Getting Youth
In South To Join
By JAMES l.. HICKS
NNPA staff Writer

WASHINGTON, ID. G..
(NNPA)-The Agriculture De-
partment said last Thursday that
no colored All club members would
be permitted to attend the Nation
al Al convention which it is spon-
sorlng here June 11-18 because
white southerners would refuse to
attend if colored members were
invited.
In attempting to justify the De
partment's position in excluding
colored All club members from the
convention, Miss Gertrude l.. War
rem, director of All work for the
Agriculture Department, said it
was not case of discrimination
but like Topsy. "the Al move
ment just grew up that way"
Explaining that plans were al
ready under way to sponsor a sep
arate convention for clored All
workers at Tuskegee Institute,
Miss Warren emphasized that she
had been "born in New England
and did not believe in discrimina-
ton"
STRONG THINKING
eve have our southern leaders
who are very strong about that
sort of thing" she said. eff we
invited our colored All workers to
attend the convention with the
whites we wouldn't get a delega-
ton of white southerners," she en-
phasized.
Miss Warren then told the
NNPA representative that she
hoped he would not publish story
about the convention and take the
wrong viewpoint.
'sYou can help a lot" she told
the writer. "You know the south
as well as l do. If you run a
story about the convention and
play up discrimination, you are
going to anger some of the very
people who will help your people
if you let them alone"
100000 MEMBERS
The convention, which is official
ly termed a "4-H Camp" will in
clude ninety-six youthful white
delegates representing the forty
eight states, and forty-eight white
state leaders in agricultural extern
sion work.
The nationally know All clubs
now have a. total membership OF
1,750,000, 100000 of whom are col
ored youths. The June meeting Will
be the first postwar convention OF
the organization.
According to a report OF state
and district extension workers held
here last June, the Agriculture De-
partment has experienced difficulty
in getting colored boys and girls
in the south to join All clubs.
Statistical data on colored Al
workers prepared by DIR. Erwin Il.
Shinn, Agricultural Department
specialist, show there are nearly
100000 colored rural boys and
girls who are eligible for member
ship in the clubs, but at the time
of the study the club had only a
quarter million colored members.

The nations 100000 colored farm
ers are joining in the fight against
starvation abroad, according to re-
ports received by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture from State
Extension Service Directors.
In Texas and South Carolina,
for example, colored farmers in
several counties have pledged to
cut down on farm waste; in Geor-

DETROIT.-(ANP) - Repercus-

are still being felt as the result
of Aaron Fox being acquitted on
a charge of murder during the
riot. Fox, who was tried and CON
victed on q murder charge in a
previous trial-that of killing a
white physician with a rock
maintained his innocence and
steadfastly claimed that if certain
witnesses were brought in to testi
fly he could beat the rap.
During Fox's first trial these
witnesses, Mr.. and Mrs. John

When granted a new trial the
judge refused to hear the case
until the witnesses could be found

DR.. Thomas Parran, surgeon

The national average, he said, was

1941. Kentucky was lowest with
$14611.

calls for spending S4,500,0O for a

Final Vote Due
In House Today
On Housing Bill
Democrats Combine
To Beat Republican
Substitute Proposal
BY the Associated Press

The badly mauled administra-
ton housing bill, stripped of its
very heart" in President Tru-
mans opinion, came up today
for a final vote in the House.
The chamber has been seeking to
reach final action on the measure
for a week, and the resultant delay
has brought watering down of
the legislation the White House
asked to further it's program to
build 100000 new homes in the
next two years.
The rough treatment of the orig
inal bill was finally reversed late
yesterday, however, when Demo-
Gratis closed ranks to defeat, 1T to
119, a complete Republican SUBJ
Stitute for the administration bill.
Heart of Plan Beaten.
This administration victory came,
however after coalition of Repub-
licans and a bloc of Southern Dem
ocrats had rejected administration
proposals for price ceilings on all
existing dwellings and authority to
use 600,000,000 in subsidies to bring
out larger production of building
materials. Mr.. Truman said the
subsidy proposal was the very
heart of his program.
While the bloc of Southerners
brushed aside White House and
party organization appeals for sub
sides, they baked at the idea of
supporting an outright Republican
substitute.
In the party line vote, only two
Democrats were observed to have
joined with the Republicans, while
almost score of Republicans
crossed over to help save the ad-
ministration's legislation.
Mccormack Asks Passage.
House Majority Leader McCor-
mack appealed for enactment OF
what was left of the much buffeted
measure, voicing hope that when it
reaches the Senate provisions will
be reinstated for subsidies and price
ceilings on existing dwellings.
BY turning down the Republican
substitute, the House defeated an
effort to prevent price ceilings on

Tells House Committee
BY the Associated Press

The administration asked Con-
gress today for $2,051, 100000 to
continue Government subsidies
on food and other materials,
during the fiscal year beginning
July /.
The proposal was made by James
F. Brownlee, deputy to Stabiliza-
ton Director BoWles, before the
House Banking Committee. He said
hating the subsidy program at the
end of current fiscal year would re-
suit in an per cent rise in food
costs, and 312 per cent jump in
the overall cost of living.
Sudden removal of the subsidies, "
he declared, would be more than
the program against imitation could
stand. This program is necessary to
hold back Whirl of imitation. 81 -
In addition to subsidies designed
to hold down prices of foods such
as wheat and meat, the program also
provides for incentive" payments
to spur production of such items as
rubber and petroleum.
Even as Mr.. Brownlee spoke. a
group of more than 100 Republic

House caucus room to organize a
committee to seek revision of price

TILGHMAN, Md, Mar. 6.-The
Jefferson Island Clubhouse, scene of
many informal meetings of high
ranking Democratic party figures
including two Presidents, was de-
stroyed by fire last night. The
Jefferson Island Club was organized
in 1880.
Loss was estimated at $4,000.
Tilghman firemen said the blaze
broke out about 10 pm, apparently
from defective electrical connec-
ton.
The. clubhouse, containing some
dozen rooms, was totally burned. A
caretaker's cottage and a gunroom
were saved.
The fire company on Tilghmans
Island, several miles away, went to
the scene, but could not take suff-
Gent fire-fighting equipment with
them.
Volunteers from nearby Sherwood
on the mainland also went to the
scene.

To Britain as Loan Is

U. S. Will Benefit
By Trade Agreement

ton.
He made the statement under
questioning by Senator Mcfarland,
Democrat, of Arizona of the Senate
Banking Committee.
Il say it is a contract under which
we get benefits greatly in excess of
the money involved" Secretary
Vinson said. He had previously told
of Britain's plans to drop trade re-
strictions in the world market.
Taft Questions Interest.
Acting Chairman Barley said
that if it were strictly a commercial
loan, the United States would be
justified in charging higher rate
Of interest. The proposal calls for
no interest until 1851, then at the
rate of 2 per cent annually.
Senator Taft, Republican, OF
Ohio, referred to a section permit
ting Britain to waive interest pay
ments when there is a severe de-
preston" in world trade. He said
waving clauses appeared to be
feeble.
MIR. Vinson said he expected the
principal to be paid in full and
that he believed Britain would
look with grave care" on any idea
of waving interest payments.
Vinson Cites Gain.
Mr.. Vinson said the money the
Treasury borrows costs it about 1.64
per cent, whereas the British loan
rate is 2 per cent.
Il object to the argument that
we are not losing money" Senator
Taft interjected II think we are
losing the difference between 1.64
and ESQ" He said that "28-year
money" costs the Government az

After Mr.. Vinson had made his
opening statement yesterday, Sen

ments for the loan are: To promote
world peace and to give Britain a
start toward reconversion. He took
