TRUMAN HITS JACKPOT in Los
ANGELES WITH CIVIL RIGHTS PLEA

Presidential luncheon.
Rev. Mitchell, who is pastor of
the Cosmopolitan Christian
Church, and a member of the
County Committee on Human
Rights, was very outspoken in his
praise for Mr.. Truman. Negro
voters must sand by Truman, he
said, after the President has taken
the stand he has on civil rights.
He predicted that the majority
of Negro votes in Southern Cali
fornia would be cast for Truman.
Attorney Griffith said THAT per-
sonally he was 100 per cent for
Truman but he made it clear
that be was not speaking for the
NAACP which is a non-partisan
organization.
Movie Stars and Truman
A vain effort was made to con-
tact Hattie Mcdaniel, one of the
few Negro stars who is supposedly
backing President Truman.
It had been rumored that the
academy award winner had been
invited by a leading Negro Demo
crat to come down to Washing
ton, d. c., to have a conference
with the President.
Due to a tight radio schedule,
Miss Mcdaniel was forced to de-
cline the invitation.

BY ALICE A. DuNNloAN

LOS ANGELES -(ANP)-Presi-
dent Truman hit the Jack pot with
Negro voters In Southern Cali
fornia when he reaffirmed his
stand on civil rights.
In a closed conference with
state delegates to the national
Democratic convention, the Presi-
dent was asked II he planned to
stick by his civil rights program.
He is alleged to have replied,
"Of course I'm going to stand by
| 1t. When l make a statement or a
promise l always stand by It,"
The conference was held at the
Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles,
Monday, Immediately following a
luncheon given by the L. A. Press
Club at beautiful Cocoanut Grove,
where the President laid down a
strong eight-point program with
out mentioning civil rights.
The civil rights question was
raised in the private conference by
the Rev. Clayton Russell, pastor
of the Independent Church Of
Christ and one of the two Negro
delegates to the national Demo
cratic convention.
The President pointed out to
the delegation that the civil rights
program is in accord with the Con-
stitution Of the United States and
was included in the Democratic
platform in 1914 which he assisted
in writing.
Negroes Pledged Support
Rev. Russell later told this re-
porter that the Negro vote Is not
entirely lost to the Democratic
Party, although he admitted that
the Wallace party had cut big
gap in 1t.
Truman's civil rights bill
checked what would have been a
wholesale flow of the Negro vote
to Wallace" he said.
"If Mr.. Truman pushes his civil
rights bill and IL the Democratic
convention includes a strong civil
rights program in Its platform, the
Negro vote will be largely Demo
cratic" ne predicted.
Mrs. Sylura Barron, the other
Negro delegate to the Democratic
convention, pointed out that the
Wallace party was not as strong
in San Diego as had been ex-
pected.
A recent poll there showed five
bipartisan votes to every one in
dependent vote.
The Rev. M. Frederick Mitchell,
president of the Interdenomina-
tional Minister'S Alliance, and At
torney Thomas L. Griffith Jr.,

Race No Issue at
Philadelphia Conventions

CHICAGO - Platform planners
at the Republican and Democratic
conventions in Philadelphia viii
pretend to fall in love with the
Negro again as they do every cleo
ton year, July Ebony editorial
says. but this year the colored
voters of the nation are more in
terested in continued prosperity
and will not be fooled.
Neither major political party
has anything special to offer the
Negro as race Ebony insists.
''They will both promise and not
deliver, but this is no cause for
bitterness.
I'm the realm of political prom
ises there is no racial prejudice
whatever" the article continues:
Both parties break faith equally
with Negroes and whites.
"This leaves the Negro with no
alternative except to vote as any
other American the key
political issues of the day-main-
tanning peace and prosperity"

The Board of Directors of the
Portland Housing and Planning
Association, in special meeting
on June s, 194s, issued the follow
ing statement relating to the flood
disaster:
l. Even before the flood disas-
ter Portland had a notorious hous-
ing shortage and was still using
thousands Of temporary war hous-
ing units.
2. The flood disasted makes i'm
perativce the unavoidable provi-
sion of stop-gap emergency shelter
for a minimum of 5000 families.
3. In providing temporary shell
ter we must not lose sight of the
equally urgent but less dramatic
necessity of making arrangements
now for 5000 permanent homes at
reasonable rentals in order to
meet the needs of flood victims
alone.
4. Full support must be given TO
the request for $50 millions esti-
mated by the Portland Housing
Authority to be needed for the
necessary permanent housing to
meet the needs of these families
on a realistic basis.
The Portland Housing an d
Planning Association. after 35
years of work toward the preser-
walton and extension of building
standards in our city. is presently
engaged in expanding its activ-
tiles to permit broader support of
the following detectives:
a. To secure adequate perma-
nent housing. with special en-
phasis on meeting the urgent needs
for low-cost rental housing.
b. To improve civic standards
In approaching and solving all
all building and housing problems.
We recognize the splendid and
successful measures taken by the
League of Women Voers in arous-
ing civic groups to the public re-
sponsibilities in this flood disas-
ter, and we invite all persons to
join with us in meeting the need
for a coordinated city-wide citizen
program for action. To continue
without a broad and carefully CO.
ordinated program will find us all
falling short of both our immedi-
ate and long-range detectives.

CLASSIC

A forgotten classic of advertis-
ing concerns the manager of the
hotel X, says Orville e. Reed in
his IMP. The hotel boss told a
newspaperman he'd like to use
his paper but couldn't afford more
than an inch ad, and nobody
would see that"
The newspaperman said, oh,
yes, people would even see a
single-line ad. To prove it, he
continued, he'd be willing to run
this single-liner free:
"Hotel X, Famous for Bed
bugs"
The hotel man was horrifed,
but the newspaperman said it
would be such a little ad, nobody
would see it.
