and few thousand workers in vital
transport and power industries had
reached the stage where they ham,
strung millions.
In New York tug strike had cut
off 80 percent of its fuel and so per-
cent of its food supply.
In Pittsburgh, a 14-hour strike by
workers at the Duquesne Light Com
pany halted all normal electric SER
vice, stalled transit and left the city
without heat for schools and office
buildings. Current was provided for
homes and hospitals under an emer-
gency hookup which would have
broken down automatically if an over
load developed.
Unprecedented Ban
In New York on Lincoln's Birthday,
Mayor O'Dwyer closed all industries,
stores and offices, except those in
food, health and communications lines.
Theaters were suffered and so were
libraries, bars, night clubs and all
places of public assembly.
That night the ban on normal bust
ness was lifted as the fuel crisis eased
but schools remained closed. The gov
eminent, which seized the tug COM
panies week ago, allocated 16 tugs
for city service through the Office of
Defense Transportation.
Because of its island location, the
worlds biggest metropolis is fed and
supplied primarily through barge
transport from freight and storage
terminals of the nations railways in
New Jersey. The mayor said his first
drastic proclamation was made when
he learned the city had less than one
days normal fuel supply.

Quotes

Sen. Glen H. Taylor (D-1daho),
quoting President Abraham Lin
coins annual message to Con-
gress, December 3, 1861: Labor
is prior to, and independent of,
capital. Capital is only the fruit
of labor and could never have
existed if labor had not first ex-
listed. Labor is the superior of
capital and deserves much the
higher consideration"

Motors president: eve don't

RUISSLA:A Study in 5-Xear Plans

DREMIER JOSEPH STAIN on
L the eve of election, which au-
tomatically continued him and his
Communist Party in power, re-
vealed fourth new Five-Year
Plan for the Soviet Union since
1928 and one which, if successfully
concluded by 1850, would place Russia
on par industrially with the United
States of 1914
Speaking with characteristic blunt
ness, Stain charged that present
world capitalistic economy sets the
stage for war and said Russia's new
industrial goals were designed as a
guaranty against any eventuality"
He predicted, too, that Soviet sci
entlsts could mot only catch up with
but surpass those abroad"
Red Army Routed Foe
Stain credited the us. and Britain,
as he always has, for aid in winning
the war but he gave the major credit
for victory to his own Soviet Union.
The Red Army, once, scoffed at by
foreign critics as poorly equipped and
led, routed completely the armies of
the enemy. This is recognized" he
boosted, "by everybody-friend and
foe"
Back of the army, Stain pointed
out, were the industrial resources of
the Soviet Union, developed by three
Five-Year Plans, the third inter-
rupted by war itself. Dramatically,
Stain compared production of Czarist
Russia on the eve of World War l
with that of the Communist State on
the eve of the second great war.
Comparing the year 1910 with 1913,
he said Russia produced almost four
times as much pig iron, four and one
half times as much steel, five and one
half times as much coal, three and
one-half times as much oil and three
and one-half times as much cotton"
Industrial Revolution
This expansion, said Stain, repre-
scented ''leap from an agrarian coun-
try into an industrial one" These
material resources, he claimed, gave
Russia in World War II "the mini
mum supplies necessary for satisfy
ing, in the main, all (war) require
mentS."
Nevertheless in his hour long
speech, interrupted 27 times by
thunderous applause, Stain appeared
to return towards the militant poll
cies of preWar Bolshevism.
1t was a blow to those who hoped
Russia might continue its close war
time cooperation with the western
democracies when Stain said that
this war, like the last, was the "inev-
table result of development of world
economic and political forces on the
basis of monopoly capitalism" These
forces, he insisted, breed crises and
inevitably war.
Agreements and peaceful decisions
might solve these problems, Stain
said but added "this is impossible
under present conditions of capitalis-
tic development of world economy"
Where Russia will stand in 1850 on
completion of her fourth Five-Year
Plan is a matter for history to re-
cord. Stain is a leader who has made
history before. Some critics say he
seems determined that the Soviet
Union eventually shall stand on top OF
the World-and stand alone.

JOHN R0xB0R0UGH
APPEAL DENIED

LANSING, Mich, Jan. %
Hopes of John Roxborough, for
mer manager of Joe Louis, to gain
his freedom in time to second the
champion in his coming fight with
Billy Conn, we're dispelled today
when the state parole board voted
unanimously to table his request
for release from Southern Michi-
gan prison.
Roxborough is serving a two
and-a-half- f-to-five- -year-sentence for
conspiracy in connection with the
policy racket in Detroit.
In voting to take no action on
Roxborough's appeal, the parole
board said it would consider the
request next October. Roxborough
entered the prison in November,
1914.

Tuesday by DR.. J. B. Martin, pres
ident of the Negro American
league.
Chandler, reporting the meeting
with Negro league officials in Gin

day in Dallas. DR.. Martin did not
deny that he and other league Of

ball in order that our players would
have a greater opportunity for adj
vancement."
DR.. Martin has been reading
Chambers statement in an attempt
to determine what he meant by the
phrase "stay in their own class, !"
he said. There was no mention that
Chandler had been invited to rule
Negro baseball, although the high
commissioner reported that the
league officials had extended such
an invitation to him.

One of the things which is caus-
ing a lot of concern among housing
and OPA officials is a genteel
black market in home buying.
Many home buyers are dealing
with private lending concerns and
by-passing the FILA insured loans.
Veterans who have the initial cash
to purchase a home are warned
against this sort of financing. Re-
member that an uninsured loan is
a rickety financial prop for a per-
son whose income must be earned
from day to day. Watch out for
protective terms in your mortgage.
Have your loan papers thoroughly
examined by competent attorney
before signing on the dotted line.
Caution: Do not go to Washing
ton, D. c., looking for a job. If you
do not have prospects in view, stay
away from the capital, unless you
are interested in work of the more
menial variety of which there is
usually some available. (Note: if
you are thinking of trying for a
position with the Veterans ad-
ministration, apply at district, re-
gional and sub-regional offices.)
When the University of Wiscon-
sin opened up it's new campus for
GIs, including housing, it set a pre-
cedent for all the colleges in Ameri-
ca. (Take notice, Negro colleges }
In his budget message to con-
gress, President Truman asked that
S4,787,0O0,0O0 be set aside for
veterans pensions and benefits,
saying the pensions alone would
consume S1,748,O0O,OOO.
The American Legion has wound
up its lobbying machinery for a
vigorous battle in congress on it's
terminal leave plan," through
which an enlisted man could draw
as high as $1,145.60 when dis
charged.
Gen. Omar Bradley, VA head,
told a group of newsmen last week
that his agency lacks the necessary
authority to enforce job placement
policies for vets. Testifying before
the house labor committee, he said
that, as of that date, about 100000
vets were drawing adjusted COM
pensation checks. (Pst! Expect
something to be done about giving
the Veterans Placement board,
which operates Veterans Employ
ment service, additional authority.)
The Veterans of Foreign wars
have urged congressional action to
extend the period in which a vet
eran can apply for his old job.
Reason: "Job placement might be
held up indefinitely by a strike.

DIP & | WALk0UT THREAT STILL REMAINS

Hope for an orderly settlement
of a CIO-threatened power strike
in Dayton and southern Ohio GEN.
tered today in Washington, D. c.,
where management and labor will
confer at 2 p. m. with Secretary
of Labor Schwellenbach.
Although southern Ohioans
breathed easier after last-minute
Intervention by Schwellenbach OBJ
tanned postponement of a strike
by members of the CIO Utility
Workers Union scheduled for 12 :O1
a. m. tomorrow, relief was only
temporary, at best.
1t appeared established beyond
all doubt that the question of the
establishment of arbitration ma
chinery would be the principal bone
upon which conferees would gnaw
today in Washington. The strike
threat still remains.
The unions have proposed the
dispute be submitted to a ''fact-
finding" board which presumably
would be appointed by the labor de-
partment. Management has not
said in so many words that it is
willing to arbitrate, although it
readily accepted Schwellenbach's
invitation to confer in Washington
today.
Local ITS is committed to post
ponement of the strike if such a
board (fact-finding) is established
in Washington" Orville L. Kuhnle,
secretary of the Montgomery
County Industrial council, CIO,
said last night.
Alfred Yale, president of the
Akron union local, said if negotia-
tions for settlement of the strike
continued past the strike deadline,
the strike would be deferred as
long as negotiations continue.
Union members seek a 2O-cent
hourly pay boost.
Representatives of DPL at the
Washington conference will be Vice
Presidents B. C. Taylor and A. w.

utility union local will be William

and Louis A. Fisher, national presi-
dent.

Trounces Biloxi
Team Thursday

Touchdown after touchdown
highlighted the football game
Thursday when the Pascagouls
High team soundly trounched
the Biloxi Junior High squad. At
the final whistle the score was
800.
A completely different game
was this from the Hattiesburg-
Pascagoula tilt the week before
when the Pascagoula juniors
were defeated 26-7,
Charles Thigpen went four
yards for the first tally of the
game Thursday and the second
touchdown was made when Pow
eli Meeks ran 40 yards for score.
Both attempts for extra points
were unsuccessful.
Thigpen made another score in
the first few minutes of the sec
ond period and Meeks convert
ed for the extra point. An in
tercepted Biloxi pass gave Car
penter a chance to make the next
touchdown but no extra point was
scored. The third quarter was
scoreless but in the fourth Stew
art scu.ried around right end,
scoring from the two yard line.
A pass to Shows gave the extra
point.

Moss Point Tigers Play Naichezi

Tonight is an open date with
no game scheduled for the Tig-

The TT tie between the Tigers
and the Rebels, in, a game in
which the Tigers had a good
chance to hit the win ledger in
the Big Eight, left only the
Vicksburg Greenies and the Nc
Comb Tigers riding high in the
conference.
MeCemb, rated nationally as
one of the south's five best teams,
held tightly to their rating by de-
feating the strong Meridian Wild
cats 26-0, while Vicksburg shell
lacked Clarksdale 1912.
Davis Stars
Harry Davis. Tiger triple
threat backfield ace, starred for
the locals by hurting long pass
to Shatt'es for the winning score
and his successful placement for
the extra point.
Davis's heave travelled nearly
the half the length of the field
in the air and Shattles loped over
the few remaining yards. The
play came in the second quarter
after the Tigers had stayed in
the Rebel area @sor most Of the
half.
Benard Calendar, Rebel full
back, did not live up to. his adj
vance billing as hot-shot line
buster, But did have q lions share
in the lone Rebel tally late in the
fourth s.anza that resulted in the
tie.
Calendar went over from the
one-foo.. line at the end of sus-
tanned drive of more than sixty
yards. O'Malley's pass to Simon
ton was good for the extra and
tieing point.
