I'VE are going to stay in these
camps and make the British rec
ognize us as Palestinians. We
insist on going to Palestine"
A veteran of the battle OF the
Runnymede Park-one of the three
British transports-declared, 1--WE
are going to continue the sitdoWn
strike we began on the ship"
officials said that at both camps
most of the refugees, refusing to
tell their true national origins, gave
Palestine as their place OF origin
and Hebrew or Yiddish as their
only language.
This slowed the questioning at
Poppendorf, officials said. There
were four tables full of linguist III
terrogators, but at only one table
did they speak Yiddish. q,
German doctors and nurses were
treating sick Jews at Poppendorf,
where eight men and 10 women
were hospitalized, some with in
juries inflicted by British soldiers
who evacuated two of the ships.
Mordecai Rosman, self-styled
leader of the Runnymede Park, held
in a military police barracks, told
reporters last night the struggle be-
tween the passengers and troops
was a mistake.
He said the immigrants had ex-
pected that tear gas, rather than
troops would be used in their re-
moval.
When the troops came, he de-
clared, Il was slightly wounded on
the head with a truncheon-enough
to draw blood-but nevertheless I
tried to hold my own people back.

Exodus Jews Hinder
Screening by British
In German Camps
BY rhe Associotsd Press

LUBBOCK, Germany, Sept. IL
British officials screening Jews from
the Exodus 1s47 said today that the
refugees are being obstinate and
giving us plenty of trouble by try
ing to snag up the processes"
They made this comment at Pop
pendorf, larger of two camps near
here in which the 4,31l Jews were
placed after their forcible debar-
kation Monday and Tuesday from
a British transport convoy. The
refugees were brought to Germany
after failing to enter Palestine as
unauthorized immigrants.
In Am Stau, the second camp,

For "safety,' they say. But is it?
Government figures show definitely that
long trains mean greater safety to railroad
employees and public alike.
Then, if safety is not the real reason-what
is the reason behind this demand?
It is to make more jobs which are not needed
to get more pay! This 'Emade work. would
be sheer waste Think of big, modern locomo-
t;ves using only half their power.
For this waste, you-the public would have
to pay. Higher costs mean lower standard
of living for everybody. Nobody wants that!

Truman X. Gibson, Jr., formerly
civilian aide to the Secretary of
War, takes exceptions to the series
Of articles advocating abolition of
race relations jobs and the appoint
ment Of colOred persons to regular
government jobs on the basis of
merit. He writes:
Racial relations advisers have
been directly and indirectly re
sponsible for the Indignation of
many Negroes into regular depart
mental positions. 1t was Bob
Weaver who started Bill HASTE in
his career as solicitor in the De
partment Of the Interior.
Certainly agree that the time
is past when Negroes ought to be
appointed on their merits to high
positions in the government. But
| do not think this process will be
accelerated by discOntinuing the
few racial relations people in the
Government.
From your long experience in
Washington, you know things just
do not happen and that there will
be no rush to hire top notch Ne
groes. Even if the advisers merely
by their presence reminded the de-
partmental heads of their too often
forgotten obligations, their reten-
ton would be justified Actually
most have done more than this. 1t
doesn't seem to me wise to give up
what you have at the chance that
you might get something more"
Diligent effort to find out what
race relations advisers were doing
was made before the articles were
begun. The answer was-the pres
ent crop Of advisers is doing moth
ing but hOOdwinking cOlOred peO-
piN- III AhN past 5ONV "SlN NOil-
scientiOus and made earnest eff
fort to do something.
The "fOot-in-the-do door" theory
would be acceptable if it were not
for the fact that race relations
advisory jobs are used as political
sops to preclude appointment Of
colOred persons to Government jobs
at policy making levels. More
over, there is a small number of
colored persons holding regular
Government jobs and performing
quite satisfactorily. There is no
valid reason why that number
should not be increased.
No one is advocating that in
cumbents in race relations jobs be
dismissed. They can be transferred
to regular Government jobs where
they can perform the duties Of
their office in a democratic man

1t is not the aim of this column
to argue or attempt to point out
the merits of the Legion's plan at
this time. People well versed in
housing matters already have the
plan under study and due comment
will be made on it later in that
respect.
1t does seem important, how
ever, to point out that if the plan
is approved in its present form
it will mean the same old story
for the Negro veteran.
The Legion plan has the effect
of putting the Veterans Admins
tration in the housing business.
The VA is already in the hospital
business and its record insofar as
cOlored veterans are concerned is
a Sordid mess of discrimination
and segregation.
Futile efforts have previously
been made to remedy such wrongs
but many of these efforts have
been either poorly directed or un-
dertaken when it was too late to
take corrective action. Its smart
er to move in and help write a
Congressional bill than it is to
fight to pass an amendment to the
bill after it has become a law
If the VA is going into the
housing business the time to
speak out for the equality of
the cOlOred veteran is now
while the plan is in its embryo
stage.
1t should be made plain to the
VA that it should not enter into
any agreement for the housing of
veterans of World War II with any
association unless that association
agrees to. provide housing indis-
criminately for all veterans of
World War II regardless of race,
creed or color.
As previously stated, the Legion
usually has its way when it comes
to legislation on veterans affairs.
1t is alreday laying the foundation
for this plan. The time to act is
now.
II the plan is free enterprise
let's keep il free.

ner, and an additional number of

litical support they have given the

ton or which the administration

Attacks Granger Patterson and
Barnett
OF all the race relations advisers,
the position of Lester B. Granger,
executive secretary Of the National
Urban League, DR.. Frederick D.
Patterson, president of Tuskegee
Institute, and Claude Barnett, d.
rector of the Associated Negro
Press, are most untenable.
Mr.. Granger has been a con-
sultant to James B. Forrestal,
former Secretary of the Navy and
now Secretary Of Defense. Under
Mr.. Forrestal, the Navy developed
a good policy respecting cOlored
naval personnel. But there has
been no augmentation of that
policy nor effective utilization of
colored personnel in the Navy. Nor
has any colored civilian been en-
ployed in the Navy department at
any decent level. Not more than
two colored officers served in the
department at any one time, and
the highest ranking one was
lieutenant commander, the equival-
ent of a major in the Army.
Dr. Patterson and Mr.. Barnett
have served as consultants to a
succession of Secretaries of Agri-
culture. During the entire period
of their service, and prior, colored
land grant colleges have been de-
MED an equitable share Of federal
funds allotted to Immigrant col

FREE ENTERPRISES? ?
By JAMES L. HICKS

L 1hAIL AIAN A4lNl ANAADASAN
The American Legion, which
Jim Crows its colored members,
but which usually has its way in
veterans affairs, has come for
ward with a housing program
which should command immediate
and careful attention from colored
leaders who have the interests of
the colored veteran at heart.
At its New York convention the
Legion (the white members, that
isl went on record as being against
e Taft Wagner Ellender public
housing bill and has drafted a
plan which it is calling the Vet
Grams Homestead Act of 1913 that
provides the framework for a
Legion housing plan Of it's own.
The Legion plan would set
up veterans homestead assOci-
atoms which would be charter
ed by the Veterans Administra-
ton and limited in member
ship to veterans of World
War ii.
Each one of these associations
would be authorized to issue $lO,-
900 worth Of 20-year annuities for
every 800 invested. The associa-
tons could buy land, build houses,
and sell them to veterans Of World
War ii.
The Veterans Administration
would act as broker in dispoSing
of the homestead association notes
and would supervise the operation
of the plan to the extent of limit
ing yearly offerings to two billion
dollars. In order to do this the
VA would be authorized to appoint
state brokers, who are veterans of
World War ii, to handle the actual
transactions for it,
The Legion says that public
housing is socialistic but that this
is free enterprise.
