Showdown Promised
1By Hoffman on Files
bureaus Hold Secret
BY the Assoeiaied Press

Representative Hoffman. Republi-
can, OF Michigan, says he Is going to
have a showdown with the Govern
ment's executive departments on
how much they should cooperate
with Congress.
Specifically, he means co-opera-
ton with the House Expenditures
Committee, of which he is chairman.
For instance, he is interested in
the paroles of four former Capone
gangsters. A Federal grand jury in
Chicago Is looking into them.
But the Justice Department is
not cooperating with us in that
case" Mr.. Hoffman said yesterday.
THE FBI has closed its files to U.s."
Kept From Civil Service File.
In September, the Civil Service
Commission refused to allow his
committee to have a look>at a secret
file kept by it's investigators for
checking people who apply for Gov
ernment jobs. 1t admitted that the
names of some members of Congress
were in the file, admitted that they
shouldn't be, and promised to re-
move their cards at once.
They said they would send us
a list of the names removed" Mr..
Hoffman said, "but We haven't heard
from them yet"
Then there is a proposed security
order recently circulated among ex-
ecutive departments setting out
what information would be classed
as secret and what would be re-
leased to the public.
Harness Group Investigating.
One of Mr.. Hoffman's subcom-
mittees, headed by Representative
Harness, Republican, of Indiana is
looking into that.
1--WE eventually will have to set
/ tie, once and for all, how much
information these departments can
keep from Congress, how much CO.
operation they have to give us, MIR.
Hoffman said
But the outlook is not all dark,
he said. He feels good about in
dictments handed down this week
in Philadelphia against three labor
union leaders.
They are clear vindication Of
the committee" he said. 1--WE will

racketeering Act is enough to stop

The affair, held in New York's Wendell Wilkie Memor- ial Building on February 4th, was well attended byaprominent figures from professional, diplo- matic, educational and cultural groups.
 Although the Haitian diplo- mat was appearing in an unof- ficial capacity, his informal, ex- temporaneous addres was noted with significane in the metro politan press. pr. Price-Mars, speaking in French which was translated by pr.

NTER-MOUP TELLS REAL STORY

The National Conference of Christians and Jews, the Con- necticut State Board of Educa- racial Commission are to be congratulated upon the fine In- ter group Exposition that they sponsored February 2O-22 at the Hartford Times Radio Center,
 They assembled there the ex- hibits of 35 groups that are all working all over America to make this country better place for all people to live. Hundreds of men, women and children in Hartford got an opportunity to see these racial problems fo- cused upon the public attention as never before Il this city.
 Through visual-aid, through literature, through motion pie lures and through speakers and open discussions many were able to appreciate the pitfalls that produce race hate and mis- understanding.
 This would easily have been the most significant mass educa- tional effort that has been made in the state except for the unex- pected inclemency of the weath- re.
 The co-chairmen that were directly responsible for this wholesome effort in the field of race relations were MT. Frank T. Simpson and Dr. Palmer P. Howard.

PROS AND CONS
 TALK OF HOWELL

Washington-WilliomO o. No- we'll of Detroit, former mem Der of the Communist Party tes- tified about their subversive ac- tivities about the country be- fore the House Committee on Un-American Activities the other day.
 As a result of this testimony there is a great division of opin- ion; a division that is so in- tense that it Is alleged that threatss have been made upon his life and that the F.B.I. has offered to afford him protection if he sees fit.
 MT. Nowell made one major accusation when he stated that he felt the race riots of 1943 in Detroit were precipitated by the agitations of the Commun- ists. This was a major revela- tion to most of, the social and civic organizations who have studied the causes, for they have practically all agreed that the racial disturbances came out of certain long time social ills that had built up good deal of suf- fering and bitterness.
 So now the pros and cons are battling the whole matter fur iously with the con having un- earthed the fact that MT. No we'll was also agent for Gerald K. Smith s fascist organization. And are suggesting that the House Committee on Un-Amer- ican Activities ask him about them and the nature of his af- 5

FRIENDS TROUBLED BY FRIENDS

New York it is un- odisputable that the American Friends Service has done a herculean job in the field of race relations, recent reports seem to indicate that they have endless trouble impressing the validity of their doctrines upon those within their own folds.
 It would seem that many Friends schools definitely refuse to admit Negro students. And when they are approached on the matter the inquirers are re- ferred to the American Friends Service Committee. They say that just so soon as the con- mittee sends such students, they will be happy to receive them. But the committee points to the fact that the schools are failing to educate for better racial at titudes.
 But outside on everybody else the Friends have been relent- less in their efforts and have made some real progress. So much so, that as people review the adamant attitude of many Quaker schools, they begin to feel that the philosophy is one that says, 'do not do as I do, do what I tell you"
 One Quaker has recently said, ''If the Friends of today had been as true to their principles as the Friends of yesterday, half the colored people in the U. s. would be Quakers.
 To which a wit replied, ''Yes, perhaps they have thought of the possible embarrassment in having such a large Negro membership"

a home. They happened to have some white friends who like them and insomuch as they are planning to build a new home, agreed to sell their present one to their friends. They comp leted their arrangements and then the happy couple went off to a bank to determine the re- quirements for a mortgage.
 The bank sent an appraiser out to see the property. When he looked at the house he was flabbergasted and immediately thought 1t was much too good for Negroes. He indicated this with his first statement which was, "Why in the world did you sell this to Negroes?"
 Fortunately the owner re- sented this question and showed it but the appraiser could not believe his ears or eyes, so he luStIly puSuSu on WILL HIS lo- cial bias by suggesting that he could get the owner third more, if he would change the purchaser
 Now why is it amazing that Negroes can never seem to get an economic foothold, decent en- vironmental circumsstanbes, V r on m ntal circumstances gard for law and order, when better health and a higher re- sure up to standards, they are every effort they make to mea-
