Capt. Robt. Jones' Arrested For ImpersOnatiOn

TOKYO, (P)-A Japanese in a U. s. army uniform decorated like a Christmas tree - stepped grandly off a train yesterday.
 He had startled fellow passen- gers with tales of weird flights in rocket ship at the Kanoya air base. He was, he said with an ele- gant flourish, Capt. Robert Jones the army's most daring test pi- lot.
 He was dressed for the part. Loops of gold braid adorned both shoulders. Air Force service patches blossomed on his sleeves. Two rows of vari-colored ribbons illuminated his chest. Upon his jaunty cap were two circles of of ficers' braid and silver bars.
 But a U. S. army chaplain, A. D. Mann, lifted an eye brow and tele- phoned ahead. Awaiting the super pilots triumphant arrival were two frowning MP's.
 They booked him for imperson- ating an officer.
 The rocket pilot extraordinary admitted then that he was Take shi Takeshima - just an unem- ployed cooks helper from the Itami Air base, near Osaka.

U. s. Bans Red Poster I'm Berlin

BERLIN, tP,-A poster bearing part of a speech by V. M. Molotov was banned yesterday in the American sector of Berlin. It was called "an insult to the United States"
 In the speech, delivered at the London meeting of the foreign ministers council, the Soviet for eign minister accused the United States of seeking "to enslave Ger many and Europe through dollar diplomacy"
 The Russians demanded lifting of the ban. The Allied kOmman- dantur then charged that it repre- sented a "tactless and unfriendly act" against the No. 2 man in the Soviet government.
 Louis F. Glaser, chief of civil affairs in the American military government, said he rejected a Russian argument that the ban was unWarranted because Molo- toys remarks had been printed in German newspapers.
 "I told them," Glaser said, that the military government cannot give its sanction to the posting of an insult to the United States in the American sector of the city"

Field Marshal Gets
 Life Imprisonment

NUREMBERG, Germany, (P)- Field Marshal Wilhelm List was sentenced yesterday to serve life Imprisonment as a war criminal. He was convicted with seven other generals charged with atrocities in the Balkans. Two generals were acquitted.
 The American war crimes court ruled that some of the 63,0O0 kill ings for which the group was held responsible were plain murder.
 It added that hostages may be slain by an occuption force to maintain order under internation- al law. This may be done, how ever, only if the individuals se- lected for death bear some rela- tion to the crime committed against the occupation forces, the court ruled. In most cases there was no such relation.
 The court held that the right to execute hostages has been rec ognized by many nations as the only way an occupying army can protect itself against partisan at Jacks.

Holding Carter
Says South Needs
Change OF Heart

Athens, Ga. = Speaking at the
Georgia Press Institute OF the
Columbia Ledger-Enquirer paper,
Holding Carter, editor of the
Greenville, Miss. Delta Democrat
ic Times and Pulitzer prize win
ner, cited better health and edu-
cational facilities rather than an
FEPC program, as a solution to
more harmonious race relations in
the south.
The editor, speaking against
co-mingling of whites and Negroes
said the greatest fear is the fear
of the effect of numbers on our
social, moral and political thing
Editor Carter is author of the
current best seller, "Floodcrest'
The speaker said he favored e.
quail facilities for Negroes in hea-
lth, education and housing and de-
clared that "the south needs a
change of heart. Definite chang
es have come to pass since the
Civil war, he added.
He pointed out the decreased
lynching rate in the outh in re-
cent years.
Reminding the audience the 1
lynching last year in South Car
DINA was one too many and the
jyury's decision was a gross mis-
carriage of justice. The speaker
asked allow in the world can any
Federal law force Southern jury
to convict rather than acquit ?"
Carter said an F'EPC law in Mis-
sisippi would be about as effec-
tive as prohibition.

Republicans Halt
Rights
Legislation
NO ACTION ON FEPC-
SEGREGATION AT THIS
SESSION

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 81
{SpeciaD = Following the action
of the Senate Rules Committee
here today which quickly and un-
animously approved the Anti-poll
Tax Bill, already possed by the
house, over rising southern pro-
test against this and other as
meets of the Presidents Civil
Rights program, it was establish
ed on competent authority that
the Republican leaders of the
House, who hold the ultimate key
to the situation, have no present
intention of proceeding beyond the
poll tax and anti-lynching bills.
Their plan is not to force bat
tie on the two points of the
Truman program against which
the Southerners would take the
most bitterly entrenched of all
positions - the proposals for a
Fair Employment Praces Commits
sion and for outlawing racial seq
regation in interstate transport
tation.
Apart from great uncertainty
as 70 how far the Senate Repub-
licans and their Northern Demo-
cratic associates could progress
on such bills, the House Repub-
leans would have a great deal
of hesitancy in having their cham
bcrs pass all four measures at
one sitting.
Would Avoid Democratic Unity
Some of them, it may be stated,
believe that this would deny to
the Republican party much OF the
great benefit it is receiving in
directly through the present in
traparty fight among the Demo-
Gratis. Such action would tend,
they consider, to force the Demo-
Gratis back together again if only
because the Southerners would be
more inclined then to attack the
Republicans, as the final con-
trolIers of the House, than the
Truman Democrats.
For the moment, however, all
thought of rapprochement plain
ly was far away among the en-
Dattled Democrats.

hitting Negro doctors to practice
at Galinger hispital. The hospital
is owned and operated by the dis

Rankin didn't like the idea and
told the House of Representatives
so:
"When this attempt is made
thus to humiliate the white doc
tors and the white patients who
are bound to patronize Gallinger

Progressive
Voters League
Meets
PLEDGES N0N-PARTISAN
POLICY
BY James B. LaFOurche

Miami -Re-affirming it's indie
pendence, the National Progress
sive Voters league in three
day conclave here at the Mt
ion Baptist church stated through
its militant president Maynard H.
Jackson, that its $4,000 members
scattered throughout the nation
had pledged themselves to a non
partisan policy.
The Florida session, described
as a political Workshop, drew
TO the playground city of the
south, members from southern
state. The conference took on the
aspect of a miniature national
convention where serious thought
was given to the studying and
evaluating of the candidates and
their respective parties.
Said Pres. Jackson: 1--WE stand
on voting men and measures re-
CARELESS of party"
Considerable time was given to
the study of the rights of cit
liens and the power of the ballot.
The one great goal of the organ
ization is to get more Negroes
registered in time for the next
November elections.
Mr.. Jackson stated that the
Miami conclave had been forced
on the PVL as the result Of the
upheaval by southern governors
protesting the proposed adoption
of Pres, Truman's 10-point pro-
gram, and the entry of Wallace
as the third party candidate. 1t
was also admitted that there was
considerable speculation as to
who the Republican standard bea-
rer might be.
Tuesday mornings session was
devoted to the Estate Of the Ma
ton at which time representa-
tive of border line. and deep
south states, related their res
pective problems. Representatives
from Georgia, Alabama, Mississ-
ippi, and Louisiana told of the
peculiar conditions existing in
their respective states as pertains
to the registration of Negroes and
the Jim crow impediments which
have to be circumvented.
Officials of the PVL, headed by
A. C. Partee, executive secretary,
Dallas, attended the press con-
ference of Henry A. Wallace, held
on the lawn of the Roney Plaza,
swanky hotel here, and were high

Delegates gave full recognition to the
fact that a lot of work must be done II
the program approved by the Democratic
convention and advocated by President
Truman during his campaign is to be en-
acted into law.
So it's well to begin thinking now
about the legislative campaign that starts
next January.
And it's time to begin thinking, too,
about the 1880 and 1852 elections.
There will be no let-up In the activities
of those who supported the viewpoint of
the Awful S0th Congress. There must be
no let-up in the activity of those who re-
tire large number of members of the
80th to private life.
There are some others who should be
retired.
Topping the list of things which the
CIO would like for the new Congress to
do first Is TO repeal the Taft-Hartley Act
and restore the Wagner Act.
The hateful TIL law has become more
than bad measure to trade unionists. II
has become a symbol Of the NAMish
thinking against which voters rebelled
