Urges President
Act Now To End
Army Jim Crow

Washington OPA) = While
Southern politicians planned to fill
buster President Truman's civil
rights recommendations back into
Congressional pigeon-holes, an
AFL union president was telling
the President he should act now
to end discrimination where it can
be remedied without reference to
Congress.
A. Philip Randolph, president Of
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters-AFL, headed a delegation
of eight Negro leaders who last
week called at the White House to
demand that the Administration
insist upon inclusion of anti-dis-
elimination provisions in its peace
time military training legislation.
They charged that the War Dept
had dropped such provisions from
its suggested conscription bill, al
tho the Office of Selective Serv-
ice Records had recommended that
Jim Crow be banned.
The porter's chief told Truman
that Negroes do not want "to shout
der a gun abroad until they get
democracy at home" President
Truman, despite the fact that
similar conclusion was stated in
the report of his Civil Rights Com
mission expressed shock. II wish
you hadn't said that" he remarked.
Randolph and his colleagues ex-
planned to the President that they
were simply reporting the senti-
ment of many young Negroes. Lat
er Truman thanked them for giving
him the facts.
Other recommendations which
Randolph and the others made for
the Committee Against Jim Crow
in Military Service and Training,
included requests for executive or
ders against existing discrimina-
tion and segregation in the armed
forces, and War Dept disclaimer
of jim Grow in the Natl Guard.
Demands were made for Federal
protection of the civil rights of
Negro troops.
Other AFL actions against in
fringements of civil rights last
week included the filing of a state
ment in support of anti-poll tax
legislation by Legislative Repre-
Lewis Hines, and testi-
mony for the same measure before
the Senate Rules Committee by a
of the Hotel and
Workers Alliance.

Teachers Win. Go
Beck To School
In MinneopoIis

Minneapolis (LPA)-Over $4,000
school children had their extra va
cation cut off at the end of 27
days last week, as their teachers,
victorious over the Board of Edu-
cation, returned to the class rooms.
The American Federation of Teach
ers-AFL members won pay in
creases of $40 a month for the rest
of the school year, and a chance
to make up half of the time they
lost on strike.
For Minneapolis children, even
though many of them may not ap-
preciate it right now, the teachers
wor a victory too. The Board of
Education agreed to abandon its
economy" plan to shorten the reg
ular school year by four weeks.
In mass meeting the two AFL
locals, whose total membership
100, overwhelmingly ac-
cepted the new agreement. Had
the Board of Education scheme of
cutting the school year been accept
ed, their wages would have been
cut 10 per cent.

DeHQHOn Is Over
Labor Dept Finds

nary surveys made by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics show that the
January February decline in food
prices has halted, and the cost of
living is on its way up again, Com
missioner Evan Clague revealed
last week. Even the temporary fall
ing off of food prices did not re-
suit in any real decrease in living
costs, BIS said, since non-agricul-
tural prices kept on climbing.
Final government figures for the
period Jan. Is to Feb. Is show
that the general consumer price
index, during the month of "declin-
ing prices" actually went down on
eight-tenths of one per cent from
the December-January all time
high of 1858. Sharp declines in
food prices, 7 per cent. in meats,
nearly 12c-a-pound on butter, were
largely responsible for the tempor-
ary dip.
Interestingly enough, in the past
week, since Congress pigeon-holed
the margarine tax repeal bills, but
ter prices have gone up again.
All through the food price slump
period retail prices of other essen
tial goods and services continued
upwards, BIS found. Fuel costs,
like rents, remained about even,
but the prices of clothing and house
furnishings continued on the up
ward spiral.
Commissioner Clague's report
showed too that the new upward
trend in meat prices began before
the packkinghouse strike and was
not particularly affected by the
first week of the strike.
Steel price increases, which the
giant industry has said will be alb
sorbed within it's own structure,
have actually risen 3 per cent to
consumers since the end Of 1947
Clague said.
The BIS chief warned too that
President Truman's new defense
proposals may result in sharp
spurts of further initiation within
the coming months.
At no point were wholesale prices
not geared to agricultural commo-
dities affected by the recent price
dip, according to the Labor Dept.
The II per cent dip in wholesale
prices of agricultural commodities
is already being overcome, the fig
ures reveal. By March 5 a third of
the "loss" had been recaptured.
Clague pointed out that altho it
is now two and half years since
the end of World War ii no break
in the inflationary drive compar-
able to the drop that came two
years after World War | is evil
dent.
His conclusion that the JAM.
Feb. dip was inconsequential is
bolstered by another BIS release
Of last week showing that it did
not adversely affect employment.
Altho the lay-offs were up be-
cause of bad weather and fuel
in some parts of the
country, the hiring rate in some
Industries rose from 36 to 46 per
1000 workers in a number of in
luStries.
Clague pointed out that 1947 was
the first year in our history that
oleomargarine production exceeded
hat of BUTTERFLY 10 to Is per
,ent. Although butter prices prices
showed increases during that per- i,
cd, oleo prices remained relative
Y stable-as they did during the
'irst months of '48 when some
nope prevailed for the removal of
he discriminatory oleo taxes. !

FDR's Sons Blast
Wallace Claims To
Fathers Mantle

Washington (LPA) = Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, Jr., and James
Roosevelt, two of FDR's sons, last
week made public their resentment
of Henry Wallace's claim that he is
carrying on the policies of the late
New Deal President.
FDR Jr., said "All the members
of my family have carefully re-
Trained from ever stating what we
thought Franklin d. Roosevelt
would de were he alive today, for
the simple reason that no one on
earth could possibly tell"
He added that his father was "a
Democrat and just a little left of
center"
The Communists, who were the
first to endorse Wallace's candi-
dacy, young Roosevelt said, "are
the same American Communists
who loudly called FDR a war
monger."
He said that he opposes Wal
lace's candidacy as it aids reac-
ton, citing the opposition of Wal
lace's hackers in Illinois to Paul
Douglas zone of the great and out
standing liberals of America" in
his race against Col. McCormick's
hand picked stooge, Sen. 'Curley'
Brooks"
Roosevelt's name-sake conclud-
ed: "Again | reiterate my convic-
tion that no one has or ever will
inherit the mantle of Franklin d.
Roosevelt, and most certainly not
Henry Wallace in the pursuit of
his present dangerous adventure"
Frank Roosevelt's statement was
contained in a letter to Penna.
State Senator Elmer J. Holland,
and officer in the United Steel
workers.
Meanwhile, at Tacoma, WASH,
James Roosevelt, FDR's eldest son,
and Democratic state chairman in
California, said:
"Mr. Wallace and his hackers
claim to be the sole inheritors of
and believers in the policies of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. By
what right? Look close and you
will find among these people some
with strong personal grudges, some
who follow a totalitarian line and
some Republican propagandists.
Most of them wouldn't know or !
a Roosevelt policy if they
saw one.
"And none of them knows what
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's poll
lies would be today"
James Roosevelt also replied to
The third party's claim to speak

political advisors who now lead

CIO, the AFL, and by the Railroad
8rotherhoods. The third party's

position to the Marshall plan for

Quinn Warning 0ueI|s
Wrang|ing Attorneys

Judge Thomas D. Quinn had to
calm down two attorneys wrangling
over a numbers case in Municipal
Court yesterday.
The occasion was hearing In
which Raleigh E. Walker, 80, col
ored, of the first block of K street
NE, ultimately was held for the
grand jury under $1,000 bond on a
lottery operation charge.
The case moved along Serenly
enough until Assistant United States
Attorney Edward Carey announced
he would waive his opening argu-
ment at the close of testimony.
At that point, Defense Counsel
Denny Hughes cut loose.
Your honor, he just wants to see
what my argument will be and then
come back at me in his closing argu-
ment,' MIR. Hughes declared. .~.--.
Then turning to the prosecutor
and raising his voice, the lawyer
shouted: His ONCE hasn't given
numbers defendants the considera-
ton they'd give q dog. It's been
that way over q long period, ever
since they got the grand Jury
started on gambling. u.
MIR. Carey started angrily:: "I re-
sent that personal abuse. don't
see why I have to take it." he re-
torted.
Came Judge Quinns turn. II
won't have demonstration like that
in this court" he declared sternly.
"You are both attorneys, and you

The dispute ended promptly.

Residents Of the community of
Silverado and nearby Modjeska

fire in half a dozen smaller, un-
populated canyons.
Yesterday flames roared atop a
ridge between Ladd and Silverado
Canyons. In several places the fire
burst down the Silverado slope. But
the wind shifted and died down,
enabling weary fire crews to halt the
flames 100 yards from Silveraao
village.
Not a single house in the village
was burned. However, officials said
an isolated cabin or two may have
been caught.
Last night fire fighting officials
said the situation was holding with
out change. State Forester Joseph
Scherman said that with good luck
IN day or so they might call

Supervisor Hamilton Pyles of
Cleveland National Forest said the
active fire front had been reduced
to miles, from Mondays 18.
The officials said approximately
$4,000 acres of brush and range
land have been blackened-18,000
this week added to $4,000 in fire
in the same area last week.
More than $500 foresters, Army,

Fourth Husband Confestinq
CaroIe Landis' 1914 Will
By the Assoeioted Press

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 10.-The late
Carole Lands did not intend to
disinherit him in her 1914 will,
Horace Schmidlapp, the movie
beauty's fourth husband, contends.
The wealthy theatrical producer
filed suit yesterday claiming most
of her $50, 900 estate. He held that
the will Is invalid because 1t was
made before their marriage in 1945.
It left the bulk of her estate to her
mother.
Mr.. Schmidlapp asserted he is en-
titled to half the blond actress
estate under California community
property laws. In addition, he
asked the court to uphold what he
contends is his equity in the $4,000
house in which she took her life
last July. Mr.. Schmidlapp claims
he contributed 5000 toward its
purchase.
The suit also asked that a prop
erty settlement, made while her
divorce suit was pending before her
death, be declared invalid because
Miss Lands had not signed it.
