Randolph strongly raped the
Communist Party as "carpet-bag-
gers who come to minorities, espe-
cially the Negro, and labor with
fantastic promises Of Liberation"
He claimed the Communists chief
interest is in consolidating and
strengthening sentiment for the
Russian foreign policy in America,
Herron's letter, too lengthy to
reproduce in full in this paper,
called Randolph's attack "hysteri-
cal and against the party that
has consistently and continuously
fought discrimination with the re-
sources and the courage, and the
lives of its members" Raudolph's
attack. Heron said, was "a crime,
not only against democracy, but
also crime against the Negro
people"
Heron continued, Mr.. Randolph

Claims Randolph Responsible
For FEPC Defeat

As matter Of fact, much of
the responsibility for the defeat Of
FEPC falls on the shoulders Of A.
Phillip Randolph. who had been en-
trusted by the Negro people and
the friends of the Negro people
with primary responsibility for Sc
curing FEPC.
To 90 into an analysis Of the
errors Of strategy made by Ran
dolph and his immediate cohorts
would require a letter much longer
than | intend to write. Let it suf-
flee to point out two facts. Hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars were
collected from the friends Of FEPC
all over the country. Upwards of
$4,000 were raised in the Twin
Cities alone.
The hundreds of thousands
raised were eaten up in office ex-
pense, salaries, and tours. Too
little Of it went into the organiza-
ton Of protest necessary to a
march on Washington to secure
FEPC. All Of US were prepared to
sacrifice towards the success Of
such a demonstration. We heard
talk Of it; we saw no action.
Randolph Relied on Maneuvering
The real reason for the defeat
Of FEPC was the reliance Of A,

Rockville Urges Cut
In Residence for Vote

Eligihle voters In Rockville elsc.
tiunS viii Be Increased II d proposal
by the Rockville Town Council to
reduce the length of residency is
approved by the Maryland legisla-
ture.
The new plan would allow a per-
son to vote in the town election aft
er having been a resident for only
one year. The law now in effect
requires that residents be eligible
to vote in the preceding State elec-
ton before they can cast a town
ballot.
In a Council meeting in the
Rockville Fire Department, Town
Attorney r. Bernard Welsh was au-
thorized to draw up a bill to this
effect for submission to the State
lawmakers. In this bill the present
one-year declaration of intent,
which prospective voters are re-
quired to file, would be waived for
town elections.
A delegation Of seven Rockville
residents, headed by Ralph E. Will
liams, presented a petition with 800
signatures to Mayor La Mar G. Kelly
asking that a person who has lived
six months in the town and is quail
ified to vote in the State election
be eligible for a town vote.
It was pointed out that of an
estimated Rockville population of
5000, only about 470 persons are
registered voters in the town.
F. Bache Albert, councilman, was
authorized to confer with County
Auditor Alex Hancock to discuss
setting up a suitable accounting
system for the town. He will re-
port at the next Council meeting on

Alexandra Welfare
Report Asks Mental
Hygiene Facilities
By Robert G.. RoIIinos

4
Absence of mental hygiene facili-
ties and shelter care are among the
major factors limiting services of
private welfare agencies in Alex
andria, according to the social sur
Evey report.
The survey, in its section on
Private Welfare Services for
Families and Adults. covers all
agencies and organizations offering
aid to adults. 1t is now under study
by the Council of Social Agencies
which sponsored the survey.
Reported on are the Family Serv-
ice Society, American Red Cross
(home service section), Salvation
Army, st. Vincent de Paul Society,
st. Joseph's Aid Society, Volunteers
of America, Anne Lee Home for
Aged Ladies and Legal Aid Service.
Seven Recommendations.
Specific recommendations made
by the report include:
I. Development of arrangements
whereby psychiatric services, both
|diagnostic and treatment, may be
secured promptly when required.
2. RevieW Of the present extent
Of need for si1eltsr care and The
facilities now available.
3. Review of intake policies of
agencies, under the leadership of
the Council of Social Agencies, with
a view to full utilization of resources
and services available
4. Continued strengthening and
increased support of family case
work services as offered in the Fam
lily Welfare Society.
S. Active participation Of the ST..
Vincent de Paul and the st. Joseph
Aid Societies in the program of the
Council in order to extend the pro-
grams of these organizations to
reach persons in need.
6. Strengthening of present or
ganizations rather than developing
an additional agency.
Z. Exercise of Council leadership
in the development of facilities for
temporary shelter for colored and
white individuals and family groups.
In the development of shelter
care facilities, the report observes,
determination is required as to
whether or not a shelter program
should be publicly supported one.
IF it were accepted as a respon-
sibility for public support, considera-
ton might well be given to the
assumption by the Salvation Army
Of the responsibility of the service
aspects of the program" the report
recommends.
(Since material for the survey
report was gathered, the shelter
operated by the Salvation Army
has been closed. The organization
continues to do what it can for
transients, however, by furnishing
them with meals aand clothing and
referring them to Washington for
shelter.)
Regarding the strengthening and
increased support of family case
work, the report points out that
Alexandria is confronted with the
problem of the local ability to sup
port this service adequately.
This factor calls for considera-
ton of alternative plans for sup
lport. Accompanying the matter of
support for the administration of
this service is the equally important
matter Of content and operation
of the professional aspects of the
program. In these connections the
Iadvisahi1itv of CONSULATE with the
National organization in that field,
namely, the Family Welfare Asso-
ciation of America, is indicated.
