LABOR
VIEWS
Go Challenge
by GEORGE F. McCRAY for AMP

THE SOUTH MAY or may not
be shaken deeply by the two-mil.
lion-dollar political and economic
invasion planned by the CLIO. The
effort to organize white and Ne
gro workers in southern industry
Will provide an acid test of the
CLOS ability to stick to its policy
Of equal treatment for Negroes and
| all other workers.
The poor white man in the
south is certain to balk at follow
ing politically and socially pro-
gressive leadership from above the
Mason and Dixon line. 1t definite
ly will be a long, hard struggle to
teach the white workers in the
south to forget his highly priced
prejudices. For years about the
only thing he has had to boast of
is his white skin which in some
magic way made him superior to
Negroes.
COMMON EFFECT
If the Go can keep up the fight
long enough, the country will dis
cover that the poor white man in
the south is really no different
from white men in Illinois, lndi-
ana, Ohio, Pennsylvania or else
where. He, like his Negro broth
err, wants higher wages and a
higher standard of living.
The great majority of southern
workers will support the CLIO, the
AFL, the CIO Political Action COM
mittee or any other group having
a fair chance to bring higher
wages and higher standard of liv
ng to the south. Without this con-
fdence in the common sense of
American workers, white and
black, the future Of political and
economic democracy in the United
States would be hard indeed.
The main difficulty which will
face the CIO is the fact that
southern workers are so hard to
reach. They are isolated from the
rest of the workingmen in the
country by their sectional and ra-
cial prejudices. 1t is certain that
those elements in the south who
fear higher wages and higher
living standard for white and Ne
gro workers, will do everything
possible to keep southern workers
isolated.
REACTION WILL LOSE

The seven men aboard the Navy

in nearby Palmer.
Investigate Crash
Investigators were still examin-
ing the charred remnants of the
BIZ when the two-engined plane
crashed on a flight from the Pratt
and Whitney plant at East Hart
ford, Conn.,, to Westover Field.
The dead in the crash on the side
of Mount Tom included homeWard
bound Army, Navy and Coast
Guard men.
Pitiful personal belongings, scat
tered over a fire-blackened quart
er-mile-square area, led Westover
Army Air Field officers to esti-
mate that the dead included IL
Coast Guard enlisted men, two
Coast Guard officers, two Army
enlisted men, four army crewmen,
a Nevy yeoman and five civilians.
Slams Into Mountain

1ieved loaded to capacity, roared

from its summit at about 1920
pm. EDT) Tuesday night.
Salvage crews recovered the last
of Is mangled and burned bodies
late Wednesday and transferred
them to a Holyoke funeral home.
Fire and intense heat that existed
10 hours after the crash hampered
emergency crews from Westover
Field.
The violent crash, worst air
craft accident in New England S
history, took place on the south
side of Mt. Tom which rises abb
rupt and lonely out of the Con-
necticut valley, and about five
miles from Holyoke.
About 1000 people at the Mount
ain Park amusement area witness
sed the crash.
A heavy downpour of rain i'm
mediately following the accident
prevented a serious forest fire,
Holyoke fire officials said. The
plane exploded when it rammed

PAST GLORY - This morning
we are happy to present to you
one of the past glories of Will
mington-the American Legion
Post No. 10 band on page two of
today's paper.
The picture was loaned to US
by Mr.. Martin Flanagan, the young
man with the horn sitting on the
grass second from the left in the
first row of musicians.
Mr.. Flanagan isn't as young
now as was when the picture was
taken for the simple reason that
he and the other boys struck that
pose away back yonder on May
3, 1922.
MARTIAL MUSIC - Mr.. Flana-
gan neglected to tell us whether
the lapse of "a years had robbed
him of any of his talents with the
horn, but back in those days he
could really blow a nifty note.
All the boys, in fact, could when
they got going strong, bring a
flush of envy to the bandmaster
brow of old John Philip Sousa
himself.
You have only to look al their
record to see why. They won state
convention band titles in Rocky
Mount, Fayetteville, and Green's
boro. And they could, when they

Hospitals of tomorrow, incon-
venienced by laundry facilities
breaking down, may get a welcom-
ed boost from railroads, as did a
U. S. Veterans hospital in St.
Petersburg, Fla, according to an
Atlantic Coast Line spokesman
here.
The Florida hospital, housing be-
tween 1900 and 1000 former sol
diers at its Bay Pines plant, was
seriously Inconvenience when its
laundry boiler broke down. And
there was no laundry within sew
eral hundred miles large enough
to handle even the daily necessities
of the institution.
Engine To Rescue
So when repairs became neces-
sary at the hospital laundry, the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad stepped
in and filled the gap with one OF
its huge locomotive boilers.
One thousand feet of pipeline was
laid from the engine to the laun-
dry. The locomotive firemen keep
the pressure up in the engine from
eight a. m. to 4:30 p. m.
During the night a Waterman
kept the fires stocked. Cost to the
government was about $50 a day;
which includes salary of fireman
and Waterman, cost of coal and use
of the engine. .
The engine was supplied by yards
in nearby St. Petersburg.
