In any one of the % key cities
surveyed the round steak would be
anywhere from 20 to four cents a
pound cheaper than it was at the
peak reached after OPA went out
of business last year. Nowhere
could you buy it at the old OPA
ceiling, but you could come within
a few cents of that mark in New
York, Chicago, Des Moines and
Portland, Ore. In II of the cities
the price actually would be below
the old OPA ceiling if you added
the amount of the meat subsidy
paid by the government at that
time. The price today would range
around IS cents a pound, with q

Portland, Ore, Albuquerque, N. NJ,
Chicago and Des Moines, to a high
of 70 cents in Miami or 76 in New
Orleans.
Break In Butter
On butter you would get a break,
despite recent small increases in
some cities due to the influence d
bad weather on wholesale prices in
Chicago and New York. In Abu.
querque a medium grade could be
purchased one cent below the old
ceiling price OF 66 cents a pound,
and in Des Moines a penny more
than the OPA peak would get you
a pound for 68 cents. Elsewhere
you would pay well above the old
ceilings for good grade butter At
current prices ranging between II

THIS AND THAT by Walter Wendan

I am one individual who is getting pretty sick of all this intense anti-Communist propo- ganda that is sweeping the country while the Columbians in Georgia with their fascism make complete mockery of jus tice.
 In the first instance I have the feeling that all of this talk about the Communistic threat to democracy is a good deal of eye-wash. For in reality dem- ocracy can never be threatened by Communism, if we really work at having democracy. But if we do not, then what we pos sess as a way of life, will not be the thing that we claim 1t to be and everything can threaten 1t.
 For instance, can we call way of life democratic when we make mockery of the highest tribunal in the land, by delib- erately denying millions of black and white citizens the right to exercise the franchise or to live in decency.
 It does not take much intelli- gence to decognize the fact that democracy in it's full intent and purpose offers far more to the average man and woman than any other idealogy in the world.
 So it seems that we could bel done parading these scare-erowsI up and down before the public eyes and ge down to work saw ing the thing that most people want and that is freedom for all.
 But you may be sure that we will never get that unless we

SCHUYLER GOES ON RED VETERAN CHASE

Chicago-George Schuyler of the Pittsburgh Courier it is all legged, is suffering from a Red mania these days. At least that is what the United Negro and Allied Veterans of America feel these days.
 It seems as though this or ganization has been making overtures to become accredited with the Veterans Administra- tion. And MT. Schuyler does not like this or the Veterans Association. So they claim that he took the favorite course of red batting in order to kill or make their chances for recogni- tion more difficult. He charged the organization with being a Communist front organization in one of his weekly columns.
 In reply the Veterans have asked that MT. Schuyler tell the public how his war record measures up with their mem bership. For it is their feeling that no one whose war record shows such a great disparity in the matter of service, has a right to question the patriot ism of those who carried the flag in active service.
 In a written statement the UNAVA said, "Schuyler's un- justified attempt to smear the UNAVA at a time when our organization is in the process of becoming accredited with the Veterans Administration is not only an attack upon us as an organization but a subver- sive attack upon thousands of Negro veterans who will not be serviced unless UNAVA is accredited"

want to clean out our own house first and do it pretty diligently
 And that house cleaning cer- tainly means that we cannot stand by and see a whole state go fascist in it's activities, like Georgia is doing.
 We cannot permit people like Loomis, ST. and Jr. to go into a court of law and use 1t as a sounding board for hate doc trines as they did the other day when Homer Loomis used up four hours and ten minutes for his preachments., We cannot permit them to deliberately stretch out their trial so that 1t might we'll take year to get a full conviction. And in the meantime go right back to the office of the Columbians and pick up where they left off.
 If this is not a complete re- production of the tactics of MT. Hitler and. his gang, then we have read the records back wards. And while they were doing this the business and in tellect of Germany were smiling in disdain. But one day that smile was wiped off their faces and they either had to join up or get out. And as we now know an amazing number joined up.
 Some of the most unwittingly dangerous people in this coun- try are those who sit up North here and claim that some Georgians act the way they do, because forces up here attempt to tell them what to do. Well, it seems rather ridiculous to let a man in the stern of a boat bore a hole that will sink the whole craft, simply because someone in another section feels that 1t is a violation of rights to ask the culprit to desist. l

NATION ACCEPTS GOALS IN NAACP '47 CAMPAIGN

- y the whole-hearted responses coming in from states and the branches accepting their mem. bership goals, and in some cases even tipping them, the national office of the NAACP looks for ward to a campaign boultd, by all the signs, to really Make It a Million. '"
 The largest states ano branches which are carrying the load for the success of the cam paign are starting their drives early. The Ohio State Confer ence of Branches has accepted its quota of 42.000 for the na tion-wide membership cam paign. Full support toward attaining the goal has beer pledged by president J. May. nard Dickerson, Assistant City Prosecutor of Youngstown Donald Jones, in Columbus, CO ordinator of region 3, reports that at the first campaign meet ing, the branch there took out half of it's memberships. Last year, it's goal was 750 members and this year, it is expected that it will jump to almost 5000 At the meeting, final payment on a life NAACP membership was made by Dr. Robert M Tribbett, which will add incen tive to the drive in that city.
 A. Maceo Smith, secretary o1 the Texas State Conference, re ports that Texas has accepted it's quota of 55,0OO and desig mated Mrs. Lulu B. White, state director of branches, to lead tht promotion of the campaign. Other states who have accept led their goals to date are Nortl Carolina, 25,000; New York 35,O0O and Michigan, 25,00O.
 Branches which have already set top goals for themselves 1T this campaign to double the N A A c P memberships are Washington, D. C., 10000 Philadelphia, 10000; Kansa.

NAACP DENOUNCES ANTI-LABOR BILLS
Washington, D. C.-Atta

ing four "labor control" bills pending before the Senate Con- mittee on Labor and Welfare as
 representing a throwback to period of industrial strife which would gravely affect the welfare of all of our people, ;" Clarence Mitchell, labor secre- tary of the NAACP, testified be- fore the group on behalf of the Association, on February 20th. MT. Mitchell denounced Senate resolution S.55, S.360, S.1O5 and S.133, introduced by Republican Senators Joseph H. Ball, of Minnesota, and by Robert A. Taft of Ohio, and H. Alexander Smith of New Jersey, which contain provisions which he charged would provide ma chinery for frustrating unions with injunetions, wrecking their treasuries with damage suits, and sending their members shiv- ering to jail.
 Speaking not only for the more than one and a half mil lion colored persons in the AFL and the CIO, but also for mil lions of unorganized colored ag- ricultural workers now being encouraged to join unions and thereby. raise their stand ards of living and increase their security MT. Mitchell pointed out that "the glimmer of hope which these people have from the new efforts to organize them will be extinguished if the iron clamp of rigid federal control is applied to them since "these bills, if enacted into law, would have the effect of giving legal sanction from the federal gov ernment to organized violence against them. '"
 MT. Mitchell stated: "The Congress will have indeed mis- understood the voice of the peo- pie on November 5 if it assumes that our recent elections consti- tuted mandate to return this country to involuntary servi- tude of the working man.
 In defense of the right to strike, which these bills would limit or completely deny, MT. Mitchell declared: eff it is the purpose of the framers of this legislation to promote harmony between labor and management, they should take into consider ation the fact that the majority of strikes which have occurred in this country since VJ-Day came because wage earners, faced with a cost of living which has risen better than 50 per cent since 1889, were seeking to ob- tain additional money with which to buy the necessities of life, to pay their rents, and to establish some small measure of economic security for their fam ilies.''
 Speaking against S.105, MT. Mitchell pointed out that "by striking at a closed shop, the

Special memoranda to this effect
have been sent to all Internal Re-

Sherwood's letter.
The memoranda state:
Section 148 ee) Of the Internal
Revenue Code provides that no
alien shall depart from the United
States unless he first procures
from the collector or agent In
charge a certificate that he has
complied with all the obligations
imposed upon him by income, war
profits, and excess-profits tax laws.
Section 37e7 Ca (s) Of the IN
ternal Revenue Code defines the
term United States" when used
in the geographical sense to include
only the States, the Territories of
Alaska and Hawaii, and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
at Is the view of this office that
neither section 146 (e) of the IN
ternal Revenue Code nor section

template that an alien is required
to obtain a certificate Of compli-
ance when he is merely in transit

Accordingly, in any case where
the papers carried by the alien pass
enger show that such passenger IS
merely in transit between the con-
tinental United States and the Ter
ritory of Alaska or Hawaii without
stopover privileges In q foreign
country, a certificate of compli-
ance will not be required"
