Negroes Urged To
Stay Off Draft
Boards
New York, July &c,

New York, July 26, A
Philip Randolph, national chair
man of the League for Non-Vio-
lent Civil Disobedience Against
Military Segregation, urged Negro
adults throughout the Nation not
to accept positions on local Sc
lective service boards, Thursday.
Randolph said in a statement:
Negroes would serve no useful
purpose by accepting invitations
to become members Of seiective
service boards under the Jim
Crow draft act which Congress
passed and President Truman
signed.
by serving as draft board
members, Negroes would not be
in a position to assure draftee
of equal and unsegregated treat
ment in the Army, and their very
presence on a local board tend to
becloud the opposition to this ra-
cist law.
Refusal to register and be in
Quoted under this undemocratic
law is one side Of the coin Of
resistance. Refusal to serve on
draft boards and to be cog in
the Jim Crow machinery of in
duction is the other side of the
COIN
Randolph has repeatedly urg-
ed Negroes to refuse to register
under the selective service law"

prospects of improvement in the
relations between the United States
and Russia should be examined
carefully was made yesterday by
Constantine Brown, foreign affairs
columnist of The Star, in an ad-
dress before the District section, Ma
tional Council of Jewish Women.
Mr.. Brown maintained that Rus
sia hasn't changed her aims, and
that any apparent softening is only
to take us off our guard. "Once
bitten, twice shy" he remarked In
reference to working with the So
Wet.
The speaker saio, however, that
our election must have prompted
the Kremlin to adopt new tactics
Foreign Minister Molotov, who rare
ly makes a meaningless speech
claimed that the Americans had re-
jected "reactionary and aggressive
program" in defeating the Repub-

Turning to the Far East, he de-
clared that the United States lost
the most important battle since the
war when the Communists took over
Manchuria.

Stone Gives Talk
On ECA Before
Voters League
By Ruth Dean

Declaring that European recov-
cry can't be won with a slide rule
or additional tons of overseas cargo,
Donald c. Stone said yesterday that
1t will depend primarily on whether
the participants work in harmony
in the common cause and put their
wills into it.
The speaker, who is director of
administration for the Economic
Cooperation Administration, ad-
dressed the monthly luncheon meet
ing Of the District League of Women
Voters at the YWCA.
Referring to Communist charges
that European aid is "bribe." Mr.
Stone declared, IF we are only do
ing this to save ourselves and If
what we do doesn't have a sound
moral and spiritual basis, then 1t is
bribe."
Groups like the League of Women
Voters and other organizations in
this country can do much to pro-
mote the spirit of friendliness and
help which will make ECA a success,
Mr.. Stone asserted.
The speaker, who has just re-
turned from Western Europe, pre-
sented an optimistic picture OF
present conditions.
The general production level in
countries he visited, including Great
Britain, France, Belgium, the Meth
erlands and Norway, has attained
prewar levels, and in some cases
gone above them, Mr.. Stone pointed
out. "The picture is very encourag-
ing" he said, land the benefits from
making up these deficits are ex-
ceedingly great"
In administering the program,
ECA officials are urging the partici-
pating countries to use their "coun-
terpart funds" to good advantage,
Mr.. Stone declared. At the ECAs
sug ,tion, Britain is using these
lfu- to retire her national debt as
Q .lationary measure, he pointed
and France is investing them
IN productive enterprises as an ef-
fort toward stabilizing the franc.
In answer to a question, Mr..
Stone said that the ECA countries
are trying as much as possible to
inform their people Of what is being
done for them, but that in some
countries illiteracy and scarcity OF
newsprint are hindering factors.
Mrs. John F. Thomas, league pres
ident, opened the meeting, and Mrs
Carson Duncan, chairman Of the
leagues Committee on international
Reconstruction and World Trade
introduced Mr.. Stone. sQ$s.,,
