U.S.A. JUMPS IN HOT GREECE

Pres. Truman recommended the other day that the United States take over the responsi- bility that Great Britain has been carrying in Greece since the end of the war. He said something about a democratic Greek Government that had to be sustained. He recon mended that it be sustained with $125, ,O0O, ,00O worth of mili- tary supplies.
 His statement said nothing about the frame of mind of the vast majority of the people and why so many who fought the Germans heroically are now up in the mountains resisting the King and his government. A government that as far as we could learn over here, was brought in and set up by Great Britain.
 However, the implication be- hind what the President had to say was that the Greek people are all in accord and they need assistance to build democracy there. Which is fine objec- tive, providing it is true. And if it is true 1t seems as though this 5,0O0,0O0 could better be usesd for economic rehabili- tation than for military SUD- plies.
 But as long as this money is to be earmarked for that pur- pose, who is this equipment to be used against? All of the

SENATE OFFICE
 BLDG JIM CROW
Washington

Washington One of the long hard struggles that has been waged by Negro govern mental workers in Washington in the past fifteen years has been to undo some of the prej- udiced practices that were sol idified during the Wilson ad- ministration. Perhaps a ma jor barrier was the inclination to bar them from eating in governmental restaurants that were created for the benefit of workers. ...
 Most of these eating bar riers in such places have been eliminated, with few excep- tions. The Senate office build ing luncheonette is one of the locations that still tries to per sistently cling to the archaic practice of denying Negroes eating privileges. Drew Pear son recently carried a story of such denial to a Negro en- ployee who was very recently placed in the Senate post of flee by Senator Brooks of Hi nois.
 It is alleged that this worker after buying a sandwich in the Luncheonette was told that he must eat it outside. He re fused to leave until he had finished his lunch. The report is that he was later told not to eat in that luncheonette again or any similar place.
 At the behest of the worker the whole matter is under in vestigation to determine where such an order eminated from

BAYLOR UNIVERSITY
 CLAIMS PRES. TRUMAN

Waco, Texas-It was great day for the South the other week when Baylor University conferred an honorary doctor ate degree upon Pres. Truman. The authorities took the oc- casion not only to laud MT. Truman but his 94-year old mother as well. MT. Truman for having the traditions of the South engraved in his youthful blood and bones at an early date and for being raised in the quiet democratic way of life; the southern way.
 It is alleged that the former wording of the citation inI cluded a reference to the fact that Mrs. Truman had express ed preference to sleeping on the floor of the White House rather than in the bed that Abraham Lincoln had occu- pied. The story goes that these lines were stricken from the citation at the request of the White House.
 But Baylor University did it's best to eliminate any doubt about the fact that they feel that the United States has a full fiedged Southerner as its President.

BIG TURNOUT FOR FEPC

On Tuesday, March 11th, hundreds of men, women and children crowded the halls of the State Capitol to express their opinions and interest in the passage of a Fair Employ ment Practices Act. There are doctors, lawyers, merchants, carpenters, bricklayers, house wives, plumbers, preachers, etc. And they all seemed to be of one opinion and that was that there should be a strong FEPC.
 However, this assembly of many different races, creeds and nationalities were in for a big surprise. For before any of them could make their thoughts known, MT. Stapelton, sponsor of the weakest bill before the legislature was given the floor. He made the surprise state ment that just the night before, in collaboration between repre- sentatives of the Inter-racial Commission and the legislative committee had resulted in four changes in his bill. Just what these changes were he did not divulge and therefore the whole assembly was confronted with the anomalous situation of talk ing either for one bill or run ming the risk of criticizing something they had not seen.
 As was the case two years ago when the Edgerton bill was aired at a public hearing, was no indication of it's lack of exist ence or potency, for on that oc- casion the bill was not even re ported. out of the committee.
 Some of the older observers on Capitol Hill shook their heads in doubt as they heard what had happened to the Stap- elton Bill at the last moment. They were speoulating about

Greeks are in accord we are told and it has not been our past practice to instruct peo- pie in democracy with guns and shells.
 It is all very confusing and there are a great many things that should be clarified before the people accept even the word of the President in such a con- pEete reversal of our foreign policy. Some things like, are the Greek people in accord with this bolstering of the present government, is the present gov ernment representative of 8 cross section of the people, do. the people want guns or do they want food, why does this come upon us so suddenlyi

SWEATTS PUTS TEXAS IN A SWEAT


 Herman Sweatts made an ap- plication for admission to the University of Texas Law School a number of months ago and raised a ruckus about being turned down because he was Negro, the officials of the Lone Star State have been having all sorts of nightmares.
 They came out of the first one with the suggestion that they would open a special Law School for Negroes right next door to the University of Texas Law School and use the school s law faculty. But this idea died out for not a single Negro in Texas registered for the courses. So the doors were closed.
 Now the ''white fathers" have come up with another idea. This time they want to establish a whole University at cost of $3,000,O00 and of course in- clude in this institution a Law School. All of this sudden lib- erality comes in the face of legal pressure that makes 1t necessary for them to establish equal graduate work facilities or open the doors of the Uni versity of Texas.
 Of course these fathers have not been unconscious of the educational discrepancies be- tween the appropriations for white and colored education in Texas. They knew that be- tween 1945-47 they voted 27 times as much money for white education as they did for Ne gro. That in one instance 1t was $24,711,645 and in the oth- CT $851, ,804. They also know that there are so many more colleges in Texas than they need with their limited popula- tion that many of them have been forced to become land grant colleges so that they can get government subsidy.
 But in their present hysteria to prevent democracy from functioning state officials are moving swiftly to establish a three million dollar Jim Crow University. The state comptrol- Ter says that the money is in the treasury and a bill is in the legislation. All of which means that both white and Negro edu- cation will suffer the conse- quences of this dual burden in the future to even a greater extent than now.

NACCP CHARGES VA DISCRIMINATE

Red cross over the case or q Negro veteran who lost his leg in the war and whose claim for vocational rehabilitation was denied by the Veterans Admin istration.
 The veteran, Pete Brown, now at 369 Nstrand Avenue, Brook lyn, N. Y., presented his claim while he was living in Jackson, Miss, with the local Red Cross office holding his power of at torney. Brown applied for vo- cational rehabilitation and a disability pension. He was then granted a 40% disability rat ing, plus the statutory award for a single amputation, but his application for vocational re- mobilization was denied.
 Franklin H. Williams of the legal staff of the NAACP, de- clared in his statement of pro- test to the Red Cross, "It is obvious to me that in this case there has been gross and most disgraceful miscarriage of jus tice. I would go so far as to say that there appears to have been clear violation of all of the administrative practices and
 
 legislative ideals of the Veter- ans Administration as they have been explained to me many times.
 "In view of the locale of this adjudication and considering the almost ludricous grant giv- en to this veteran, there is no doubt in my mind that the de- cision upon this claim was sub stantially affected by rank ra- cial prejudice existing in the minds and hearts of the Veter- ans Administration s officers in Jackson, Miss. To hold that a veteran who has suffered the loss of a leg as the result of hon. orable service to his country is not qualified to receive voca- tional rehabilitation is almost unbelievable. In my judgment, it would appear that any indi- vidual who has had one of his major extremities amputated is qualified for such rehabilitation without concern for his prior training, profession or type of employment.
 Although it is true that your office may press this matter un- til it is ultimately rectified by granting the logical amount of disability and vocational reha- bilitation rights, I believe that the original adjudication was such an obvious injustice and farce as to warrant your re- porting this matter to higher authorities in the Veterans Ad- ministration, and if necessary, to General Omar Bradley him. self. You may be assured that this organization, which is con- cerned with obtaining for Ne gro citizens the rights which by law belong to them, will not al low this matter to remain un-
