 Significant in Williams report Is that Southern States, except Vir- ginia and North Carolina, are set- ting the recruiting pace. That meant the Communist Party IS swelling with Negroes to whom it has been making an urgent and intelligent appeal.
 "There are great opportunities in the South to build the party to several times its present size," Will Hams reported.
 The campaign among Southern Negroes, most of whom cannot vote, is accompanied by an almost equal ly effective invitation to Northern Negroes to join the Communist Party. At that point the Communist campaign begins to challenge Demo- cratic political prospects this year in the Presidential Election in 1948, It alSA is causing Republican party leade@ to ponder the situation.
 The Negro vote is a powerful fac. tor in every major industrial state. Estimates of the number of states in which the Negro vote is of bal- ance-of-power proportions vary from 10 to IS or so. The shift of Negro voters from Republican moor ings to the New Deal Democratic Coalition between 1892 and 1886 was one of the prime factors in the late Franklin D. Roosevelts per- sonal and party triumphs.

 City Facing Serious
 Meat Shortage

The heavy pre-Easter demands for meat will find local dealers with the lowest available supplies yet. The meat shortage is regarded by many market owners as the worst yet experienced, with less meat available than at any time even during the war. There Is a plentiful supply of poultry, but the traditional Easter ham seems to be almost non-existent this year and cuts of other meat are almost as scarce.
 Butter and margarine remain as hard to get as ever. To add to the housewifes woes, she finds 1t dif- ficult to buy such items as soap powder, packaged buildings, canned fruits and canned tomatoes.
 Last week-en dshoppers found at many markets that any great choice of meat was out of the ques- ton. Chicken and turkey were in good supply, but few markets had more than token supply of beef or lamb Pork was almost entirely unobtainable.
 Black markets are blamed for most of the meat shortage, dealers saying that a large percentage of all available supplies are bought up by the illicit trade for sale at prices far above OPA ceilings. One off cial has estimated that 80 per cent of New England's meat supply is being diverted into black market channels
