CHARLES WASHINGTON
FORMER LOCAL MAN LED
FIGHT FOR JOBS

Pittsburgh, Pa.--Beginning Jan
uary "a, the i've largest depart
ment stores In Pittsburgh ceased a
Reneration-old policy Of discrimi-
mating against Negroes In hiring
and upgrading.
The change In policy came only
after two years Of patient work
by the Pittsburgh Urban League,
eliminating in the formation Of =
eity-wide organization against de-
partment store policy and finally q
picket line was thrown around the
stores. Charles Washington, in
dustrial secretary Of the league
and his assistant Louis Mason, both
former Twin Citians, spearheaded
the drive.
This action caused conferences
to be arranged by the mayor Of
Pittsburgh between the Urban
Leagues Citizens Committee final
" resulting in q decision by the
stores to change their policies.
A public statement was made
January - by the Ave leading
stores which said:
There win be no diserimina-
ton In upgTadinE and employing
Of Negroes from this day for
ward
Because Of different problems
that exist In the stores there win
not Be any simultsneOus hiring.
Negro applicants win take
the same chances - whites.
They win be hired and up
Rrsded on their ability and a..
ness for the JOB.
Negro employees already on
the Job win be given al 81 the
opportunities that white en-
pIoyees are given for UpGTadinE.
while there h still the prob
lem Of customer acceptance TO be
studied IN certain stores, the
practice win be that Of no dis
eTiminatiOn-"
This was the first victory Of Ia
type on q city-wide level In Q city

Tried Passive Approach
The Urban League had been try
ing TO get the retail merchants u
talk over the matter Of diserimina-
ton against Negro workers. Tbs
stores would not answer . letter OF
a phone call. Finally because Of
community pressure and the feel

|WeIIes, Messersmith
On Hans EisIer Permit
BY the Associated Press


Former high officials of the State
Department have been summoned
to explain how Hans Eisler, Holly
wood musician, got papers to reside
permanently in the United States,
Chairman Thomas of the House
Committee on Un-American Activ-
tiles announced late yesterday.
Mr.. Thomas informed the press
through the committee Offices that
subpoenas have been issued for
Sumner Wells, former Undersecre-
tary of State, and George Messer-
smith, former Assistant Secretary
of State.
Hans is a brother of Gerhart
Eisler, who has been accused by
the committee of being the "su-
preme" Communist authority in
this country. Gerhart has been
convicted of passport fraud and of
contempt of Congress for refus-
| ing to testify to the committee.
| 11dUS W Dc Il llSt VvAtuCSSs
Mr.. Thomas said Hans came to
this country from Austria. He is
billed as the first witness when the
committee opens public hearings
September "a on what it terms
Communist influences" in Holly
wood. Mr.. Welles and Mr.. Mes
sersmith and number of other
present and former Government
officials will be called on for testi-
mony in the Eisler case.
While Mr.. Messersmith was As
sistant Secretary of State from 1887
to 1910, the Passport Division was
one of the State Department activ-
tiles under his supervision. AS Un-
dersecretary, Mr.. Welles was his
superior
Mr.. MeSsersmith, career diplo-
mat whose most recent assignment
was Ambassador to Argentina, has
retired from the foreign service.
Calls on President!
He was a visitor at the White
House today but told reporters later
that he simply was making a court
esy call" on President Truman.
He said it was the first opportunity
he had had since leaving Buenos
Aires on June 20.
Mr.. Messersmith was silent on the
possibility of another assignment
for the Government but said his i'm
mediate plan is to take "a long holi-
day from any activity
Besides Mr.. Welles and Mr..
Messersmith, Mr.. Thomas said
subpoenas have been issued for
Joseph Saboretti, assistant immigra-
ton commissioner; Clarence R.
Porter, chief immigration inspector
I at Calexico, Calf, and P. C. Hutton,
foreign service employe at Guate-
mala City.

BY The Associated Press

The 3-day-old Siamese twin daugh-
ters of Mr. and Mrs. Harding Brown

utes apart,

Undersecretary OF State
Outlines Five Point
Program In Speech

CLEVELAND, Miss, May g.
U.H-The United States must EN-
bark on unilateral reconstruction
of Germany and Japan without
waiting for Big Four agreement,
Undersecretary of State Dean
Acheson declared here today in
a speech outlining a five-point pro-
gram to implement the admins
tration's opposition to the spread
Of totalitarianism.
Failure of the Moscow confer
ence, Asheson told the 18th annual
meeting of the Delta Council,
means America must "push
ahead with reconstruction OF
chose two great workshops of Eu-
rope and Asia upon which
the ultimate recovery of the two
continents so largely depends"
Acheson's statement was the
first by a high government official
specifying that Japan is included
in U. S. determination to proceed
as far as possible on a u%nilateral
basis with former enemies in the
absence of four power agree
ments.
Acheson urged that the United
States direct exports "where we
want them to 60" by placing an
embargo on exports to certain
foreign countries and preventing
undesirable foreign buying" in
the American market.
No Elaboration
Although he did not elaborate
on this statement, it was obvious
the undersecretary meant that the
Truman administration plans to
aid nations fighting totalitarianism
while restricting regular exports
to totalitarian nations.
This could mean that nations
within the orbit of Soviet Russia
might not be permitted to buy
critical food and reconstruction
items in the United States.
Acheson's recommended pro,
gram for strengthening the "Tru'
man doctrine as embodied in the
pending bill for aid to Greece ano
Turkey listed these five points:
|. Vast increase IN American
imports to narrow the financlal
gap between "What the worlc
needs and what it can pay for
2. Large additional foreign loans

Dean Acheson Declares u S.
Must Not Wait On Big -Four

so that countries resisting totali-
tarianism can continue to buy
necessities through 1948 and 1949.
8. TOP priority on American
reconstruction aid to free peoples
who are seeking to preserve their
independence and democratic in
stitutions and human freedoms
against totalitarian pressures."
Push Ahead Alone
4. "Push ahead'' alone on recon
struction of Germany and Japan.
S. Extend wartime powers to
give the government control over
domestic sale, transportation and
exportation'' of certain commodl'
ties.
Acheson, speaking before an es,
timated 5000 persons, substituted
for President Truman who was
forced to cancel his scheduled
birthday appearance here before
the annual Delta Council meeting.

A spokesman for the powerful

Meanwhile, the constituent as
