tenn of segregated schools into
an integrated system SUPPORTED
by State and Federal funds.
eff it be said that such a pro-
gram will require time, let it
be replied that there is a first
step which the Federal Govern
ment can take now. 1t can set
out to establish a minimum an
nual classroom expenditure be-
low which the education of no
American child shall fall. 1t can
make an annual appropriation de-
signed to help the states, by pro-
gressive steps, to bring up to
that minimum every classroom in
the nation that is now below it.
"Such program is now a ma
tional necessity. Such an appro-
priation would greatly bless the
life of the South and all it's
children both black and white. It
would operate to heal the wounds
of the nation and to bind US all
together as we have never been
bound before"

Federal Trade

Drops Color Bar

Washington, D. c. CNNPA) -
The Federal Trade Commission
has dropped its bar against hir-
ing colored people in clerical and
professional positions and has ac-
copied nine colored persons in a
group of thirty transferred to
it fro mthe financial reporting
division of the Office of Price
Administration, it was learned
last Friday.
In announcing that the agency
had accepted the nine colored en-
ployees, Garland S. Ferguson,
ETC chairman, vigorously denied
that any race discrimination had
existed within the agency.
"All this talk is without foun-
dation," Nj. Garland said. He
stated that the colored employees
had been accepted along with the

POWELL Dawson
Receive Important
Committee Jobs

washington, ID. G.. - Jan. -
(NNPA) - In the organization of
the Eightieth Congress, which
was completed last Thursday,
Representatives, Adam c. Powell
of New York, and William L..
Dawson, of Illinois, were given
assignments on important COM
mittee with the approval of the
Democratic caucus of the House
Mr.. Powell was placed on the
House Committee on Education
and Labor, and Mr.. Dawson on
the Committee On Expenditures
in the Executive Departments.
The action left Representative
Vito Marcantonio, American La
Dor party of New York, a staunch
advocate of legislation in behalf
of minority groups, without a
committee assignment. Both Dem
ocrats and Republicans failed to
give him an assignment.
House Republican leader, how
ever, last Friday said Mr.. Marcan-
tonic would be assigned a COM
mittee post, although the assign
ment might be delayed until it
was decided whether an election
contest would be filed against him
Leaders of both parties agreed
that under the Congressional Re
organization Act Mr. Marcantanio
would have to be assigned to a
committee if he retains his seat.
The act provides that every House
member must be named to at
least one standing committee.
Frederick ryan, Mr.. Marcan-
tonio's Republican opponent in a
hardfought campaign in which
Mr.. Marcantonio had both the
ALP and the Democratic nomina-
tions, has threatened to contest
the election.

other twenty-one because of their
retention credits under Civil Ser
vice regulations. He emphasized
that all persons transferred had
been selected under Civil Service
regulations governing reduction
in-force programs.
Mr.. Ferguson said there were
four known Jews in the group
of thirty transferred employees
and pointed to this fact as fur
Their proof that there had been no
discrimination in the transfer of
the thirty persons. He also point
ed out that nine colored employ
ees in a group of thirty seems a
fair ratio.
Originally the financial report
ing division of OPA contained
10 employees, As of whom were
<colored. ETC could accept only
thirty of the employees and an
issue Immediately arose as to
what 80 would be accepted.
At the height of the contro-
versy ETC issued indefinite fur
loughs to the OPA employees
which the United Public Workers
of America (CIO) charged was
the equivalent of firing them be-
fore they could be transferred to
the agency and appealed to the
Civil Service Commission in be-
half of the employees.
Mr.. Ferguson said last Friday
that the OPA personnel had not
been moved into the ETC build
ing yet but that when they are
the mine colored employees and
the four Jews" will be taken into
the agency without any segrega-
ton or discrimination.
Hiring of the colored employees
in the former ily-white agency
was seen as a victory for the
UPWA which charged last month
that ETC sought to discriminate
against colored and Jewish per-
sonnet of the financial reporting
division of OPA when that divi-
sion was transferred by execu-
tive order to FTC.
The union said that ETC Off
Gals had gone to Civil Service
authorities and sought ways and
means of emitting Jewish and col
ored personnel in the transfer of
the division.

Republicans Call
For Payment OF
PoII-Tax

Mississippi Republicans this
week joined in the call for i'm
mediate payment of poll-tax. The
Republican party of the state
which is recognized by the Ma
tional Republican Committee is
headed by DR.. S. d. Redmond,
Chairman Republican State Ex-
ecutive Committee and Perry w.
Howard, National Republican
Committee, man for Mississippi.
The statement issued by the
Republican headquarters said:
Every Negro man and woman in
Mississippi under the age of 60
must pay their poll tax at the
sheriff's office of their county,
between now and February LIST Or
they will not be permitted to
vote this year.
All men and women 60 years
of age and above will be permit
ed to vote without paying poll
tax upon registering at the Cir
cult Clerks office in their coun-
ty by June LIST, 1947.
All soldiers and veterans who
were out of the State of Missis-
sippi in the month of January,
1916, on war Or Government duty
during that month are entitled
to vote this year on merely pay
ing this years poll tax, since
their absence from the State dur
ing the month of January, 1 9 4 6,
exempts them from 1916 poll tax,
but they must pay 1947 poll tax
between now and February l.,

Department of Agriculture, as
sisted with the project in the lat
ter stages by performing impor-
tant analyses, says DR.. l.. B. How
ard, chief of the Bureau of Agri-
culture and Industrial Chemistry.
Miss Kelley, who has done adj
vanced work in chemistry at New
York University, is graduate Of
Radcliffe College. She transfer
red from the Picatinny Arsenal
three years ago to the USDA
laborator at Peoria, ILL.,, where
she is engaged i analytical chemi-
cal work in the Fermentation Di-
vision.
The major part Of Miss Kel-
ley's work consists Of perform
ing analyses for sugar and for
the various fermentation pro-
ducts. During the war her work
was connected with the mass pro-
duction of penicillin. The pro-
duction of penicillin is linked up
with agriculture in that it is pro-
duced by mold that lives on a
diet composed completely of agri-
cultural products-corn steep Ii
quor and milk sugar.
Penicillin was discovered by a
British scientist nearly 20 years
ago. But up until a few months
before our entrance into World
War II, British scientists had not
been able to produce the drug
in significant quantities. During
the summer of 1941 they brought
their penicillin promlem to the
Northern Regional Research Lab
.oratory where American scientists
developed mass production tech
inquest which made it possible to
produce the remarkable drug in
sufficient quantities to meet the
critical need of Allied fighting
men during the war.
By the end of 1914, some 81
chemical companies had taken
the USDA laboratory's know-how
and begun the production of peni-
cillin in large quantities about
enough to treat serious infections
of 100000 persons per month. The
miracle drug is effective against
pneumonia, venereal diseases, and
certain other types of infections.
With increased production of
penicillin has come a correspond
ing decrease in price. Even two
years ago the price had been
reduced from $50 per 100000
units to only 1926. The amount
required for cure ranges from
100000 to 100000 units for gon-
orrhea to a million units or more
for most other infections.

Liberia Benefits
From Subsidy To
Shipping Co.
Washington, d. c., Jan.


(NNPA) - Liberia will be great
ly benefited as a result of sub
sides granted last Tuesday to two
steamship companies operating on
trade route l. between the United
States Atlanta and Gulf of Mexi-
co ports and the West Coast of
Africa, State Department officials
said last Friday.
The subsidies were granted to
the American South Africa
Lines, Inc, and the Mississippi
Shipping Company, Inc, by h e
United States Maritime Commits
sion under the Merchant Marine
Act of 1886.
A State Department official,
who asked that his name not be
given, said that he was certain
that the American South Afri-
can Lines had decided on making
Monrovia, Liberia, its headquart-
ers. He said when this is done
Monrovia will take it's place as a
port of call for world trade.
Officials of the American So.
African lines were expected in
Washington last Saturday to con-
fer with United States Maritime
and State Department officials.
The State Department source said
that he preferred to let the COM
pany representatives give details
on the organization future
plans.
Following public hearings on
the applications of the two COM
panies the Commission determ-
ined the advisability of dividing
Trade Route No. IA into two SER
vices. Accordingly, American
South Africa was granted sub
sidy on Service No. 1, between
United States Atlantic ports and
ports on the West Coast of Afri-
ca from the southern border of
French Morocco to Cape Frio,
including Madeira, Canary, Cape
Verde and the other islands adj
jacent to the West African coast,
the service to be instituted with
a minimum of eighteen sailing a
year.
Mississippi Shipping's subsidy
will be for Service No. 2, between
U. S. Gulf ports and ports on the
West Coast of Africa from the
southern border of French Moroc-
CO to Cape Frio wit hthe privilege
of calling at st. Thomas out bound
and at northern BraziBl ports
with a minimum of twelve sail
ings a year.
Work on the harbor at Monro-
via, a project which will make it
a first class seaport, is nearing
completion, it was learned. The
work is being conducted by the
Raymond Pile Company, an Amer
lean firm. Prior to the beginning
of the work, large vessels were
unable to dock at the port of
Monrovia.
