NCNW Seek Qualified
Women in Community

the National Council so that the
community will be represented on
these various committees and also
that they might be qualified for
positions which might come up.
We are familiar with the work of
the NCNW and it receives our
highest commentator. We also
know that the organization is con-
tacted on many matters of i'm
portance by white individuals and
organizations and is in an ex-
cellentpositio n to do much for an
individual.
Mrs. Ann Arnold Hedgeman
we'll known woman leader and
currently national head of one of
the divisions Of the Democratic
National committee was one OF
the builders Of the NCNW, and
one o fthe backbones of the or
ganization now. She is the sister
of Mrs. James A. Parsons OF
this city.
We recommend that Dayton
women write to the headquarters
Of the NCNW in Washington, D.
c., for further particulars on the
organization and on the requested
information. The address is 1918

A call from the National Coun-

The Council for a number Of
years amassed biographies in it's
files for the purpose of recon-
mending Negro women for repre-
sentation on national and inter
national conferences, committees

The biography should include in
it the field or fields of speciality

Motorists Urged
To Use Caution

solicitude were it not for the fact
that safety drivers and pedestrians
are the ones who often get hurt
or killed.
1t is really too bad that they
don't have special roads for all
the cuties and wise guys so they
can speed and cavort until they
get exhausted or killed.
Main thoroughfares are not the
place for anything ubut careful,
sane driving. This is most true now
that children are back in school
and in the streets. To place their
lives in jeopardy is the most
shameful thing imaginable. That
is exactly what these characters
do when they get smart with a
car.
W. urge all the citizens of this
community to drive more care
fully, and to report the license
plates of those wise guys men
toned above when possible. They
are public menaces and should be
both deprived of their licenses and
in extreme cases (like we wit
nessed) jailed.

Power Still FIowinq
10 u. ). Korean Area
|Depite Cutoff Threat
By the Associated Press

SEOUL, Korea, April 16.-The
Russian controlled North Ko-
rean Peoples Committee threat
ened to cut off the electric power
supply to American-occupied
South Korea-but the deadline
passed with power still flowing
today.
The committee chairman wrote
1t. Gen. John r. Hodge, American
occupation commander, that the
American military government Is
regarded as being behind in pay
ments for the power.
Gen. Hodge fatty refused to rec
ognize the committee. He said he
does not recognize any threat by
the group. He added that he deals
only with the Soviet authorities on
the matter Of electricity.
Today Is was learned that early
In March Chairman Kim II Sung
Of the committee wrote Gen. Hodge
that power would be cut off April
Is - yesterday - unless payments
were speeded up. An accompanying
letter from the Soviet command
stated the power plants had been
turned over to the committee. Gen.
Hodge accepted only the Russian
letter
Power was still flowing southwark
today.
If the switches were pulled, South
Koreans would suffer. Most Amer
lean military office buildings are
equipped with auxiliary power units.
A Navy barge supplies power to the
port of Fusan (Pusan on the south
coast.
North Korean hydroelectric plants
supply between so and IS per cent
of South Korea's power. The United
States repeatedly has offered to pay
cash for the power-and the offer
still stands-but the Russians insist
on payment in power system ma
terials.
Gen. Hodge said that, although no
such materials exist in South Korea,
it had been agreed to meet the con-
dition as best he can. Carloads Of
transformers, cables. switches, in
sulators and other equipment man.
ufactured in the United States and
Japan have been sent north.
But Gen. Hodge said 1t had been
impossible to import $5,000,000 in
materials to pay in full the light
bill from the start of the occupa-
ton to last December 81.

NEEDS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORT
ANCE SAYS HEAD

Boston, April (NIPS)-A sober warning that the needs
of the railroads must establish precedence over any other IN
dustry in the ALLEGATION system Of scarce materials for civil
ian use. was voiced by William T. Farley, AAR head, in re-
cent remarks to a local shippers advisory board here.
"The threat of war;, Mr.. Farley stated, hangs like a
cloud over the entire civilized world, and the tough talk on
both sides OF the tantic could scarcely be tougher OF we were
really at war. With the exception Of the armed forces them
selves. no part of the process of putting ourselves in readi-
ness is more important than getting the railroads IN shape.
1t was pointed out by the rail head tina. in World War II
the railroads carried 90 per cent Of Americas war freight and
81 per cent Of its military traffic. He also stressed the need
for building up the supply Of freight cars by citing the fact
that since more cars were junked than were built in the last
two years, there are now 10000 fewer freight cars in service
than there were at the end Of the last war.
