TAFT AGAINST
FEPC BILL

In an interview with a delega-
ton representing the Dayton
Council for Fair Employment
Practice, Sen. Robert A Taft
stated that he was opposed to the
FEPC bill, S. 984, because it con-
tanned enforcement power and in
Dictated that the bill would not
be called up for action by the
Senate until the anti-lynch bill
and anti-poll tax bills were dis
posed of. The Senator modified
his opposition to the present
FEPC bill, by stating he is for
the principle of non-discrimina-
ton in employment, but that he
believes it's enforcement should be
discretionary with the employ
ers, the government seeking only
to persuade them to comply with
the law.

FRED BOWERS
ADDRESS aka

Fred Bowers O fthe South Side
Civic association, spoke Monday
night before the Alpha Kappa
Alpha sorority on pioneering in
the Community"
Mr.. Bowers was mainly respon-
sible TO rthe traffic signals now
being completed at the corner of
Euclid, Mccall and Germantown
streets. Through his persistent
%pressuring of the city authorities
the lights were finally installed.
His next project as he explained
to the AKA is to get some lights
installed on Germantown street
near the Wogaman school. This is
a danger point where many traffic
fatalities have occurred.
The community could benefit
by the presence of more individ-
uals like Mr.. Bowers who works
tirelessly to bring about commun-
ity improvements.

You can become a vegetable
grower with a minimum of school

about the improvement of soils,
about plant and insect life, and
about business methods of mar

Fresh vegetables, canned vege-

Col. Morey, wounded in the

and led a handful Of trops afoot
40 miles over a sunbaker desert
until they were rescued by the

Later, Col. Morey praised his

Denies She will Testify
Against Joe Louis

NEW YORK, April 20. (ANP)
Reports that she will testify
against Joe Louis in favor of the
Rev. Matthew Faulkner in his
100000 suit against the cham
pion were denied this week by
Mrs. Blossom" Nicholas of Chi
cago. MIS-. Nicholas, sister of Mrs.
Carol Drake Faulkner, made her
denial through her sister.
An article written by Danton
Walker in his column, "Broad-
way" last week announced that
Mrs. Nicholas would be Rev. Falk-
ner's chief witness although at the
time the suit was filed she was
visiting a sister in ATLANTA.
She said she knew nothing about
the case until she heard of it over
the radio while visiting Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson Ter brother-in-law
and sister) in Atlanta. Rev. Faux
ner came to Atlanta the next day,
she said, then went to his home
in Fort Worth, Texas.
Editors note: For some time
it has been reported that Rev.
Faulkner is from Atlanta, but ac-
cording to his wife he is from Fl.
Worth. There is, however, a Rev.
Faulkner in Atlanta, but he is
not the Rev. Matthew Faulkner
who is suing Joe Louis in a $780,
900 alienation suit.)
After reading the news story
on Mrs. Nicholas, Mrs. Faulkner
called her in Atlanta, and learned

News of Peace
ONE of the best kinds Of news
there is is to learn that someone
we thought was an enemy, is actu-
ally friend The end of misunder-
standing. of estrangement-what a
rush of warmth to the heart it
brings!
That is the news Of the first Christ
mas-that God is our friend. Christ
did not come to assure men that
there is God. That was well
known, indeed few doubted it. He
did not even come to announce that
there is but one God. for that was
already known to the wiser sort of
men. Neither did his coming un-
veil the God of justice. The Greeks
and Romans, as well as the Jews,
knew such a God only too well.
No wonder Roman poet, looking
about on the religions Of his time,
concluded that fear is the great
god-maker. His notion was a mis-
take; but it was natural one.
For all the religions of the ancient
world, even the religion Of the
Jew. were attempts to ward off
the anger Of offended gods.
The coming Of Christ was to
put an end to all that. This was
more than friendly gesture.
1t was IN act Of love. Those w'io
have discovered God In Christ
have found that God Is not only
our Maker but our heavenly
Father and Friend. There Is No
better news!

Capital in Need Of
Civil Rights Laws
By Carter Jewell

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. GAN
P)-There is no city in the Uni
ted States that needs a civil rights
program for Negroes and other
minorities more than this capital
of the nation. Jim crow and racial
discrimination are deeply rooted
in the laws and traditions of
Washington.
The South dominates the politi-
cal, civic, educational and eco
nomic life of Washington. The
policy of the various departments
of government is controlled by
southerners.
Whites and Negroes are segre-
gated in the public schools, restau-
rants, theaters, parks, churches
and in other places. There are a
few exceptions here and there,
but strict racial separation is the
rule throughout the city.
Mixed delegations are insulted
whenever they visit Washington.
Some Americans expect democra-
cy and tolerance to be fostered
in Washington more than in the
cities of the hinterland and back
ward localities in the country.
When these groups come here,
however, the environment appears
more like some place in Mississippi
pi than at the capital Of Ameri-
can democracy.
Washington is so backward and
motivated by racial hatred that it
preferred to let the National thea
ter, only legitimate playhouse in
the city, close rather than admit
Negro patrons on equality with
whites.
Actors Equity, the organization
of legitimate actors, caused the
theater to close by refusing to
sign with New York producers for
appearance here as long as the
whites only" rule is in effect.
Washington presents the appear
