WDL OPPOSES
DRAFT AND UNIT

New York City--tWDD Pro-
testing the cancellation by the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee of his appointment to testify
in person, Rev. Donald Harring
ton, national chairman of the
Workers Defense League sent the
Committee a statement opposing
resumption of the draft and en-
actment of universal military
training.
Secretary of Defense Forrestal
stated to the Committee on March
10: while a strong, united, edu-
Gated and healthy nation is our
number one security requirement,
this, of course, underlies the OBJ
iectives of all our security meas
ures;" the statement said.
THAT the proposed universal
military training and selective
service program will NOT make
us such a nation is likewise APP
parent. The prime security of the
country in war becomes identical
with its prime security in peace
"a highly trained, fully utilized
industrial labor force working in
a modern industrial plant.
Next. or of even greater i'm
portanee to our national security
is firm belief that we are work.
ing toward an active. function.
ing democracy. This Our minori-
ties largely lost during the last
war, when the Negro saw the
pattern of segregation being fost-
cred and extended by the Army
into communities and countries
where it had never been before
But not alone color is a basis
for discrimination in the pro-
posed UNIT program. All work.
ers are Disseminated against.
Disregarding the economic loss to
the nation of the productive ca
pacity Of young men who would
be drafted, it is obvious that the
bulk of those indicted would not
be in position to take advantage
of the glamour options Of special
lied college training offered un-
der the UNIT bill"

ton might become under war con-
ditions, it is known that all rep
resent their organizations as being
opposed to fighting another Jim
Grow War. In the case Of the
NAACP, which represents more
than 500, 600 paid members, the
unit opposed both the Presidents
draft proposal and Universal Mill
tary Training on the basis that
no provision has been made in
military practice for the integra-
ton of all fighting men.
Truman Must Act
The all over effect of new out
bursts on the parts of Negro or
CARNATIONS has been toward a re-
duction of President Truman's
chances of capturing that racial
vote, unless he takes personal ae-
ton as regards the armed forces.
This would be. Negro leaders hold
by Executive Order and wholly
Independent of the Republican
Congress.
In Pennsylvania, meanwhile the
combined organizations will fol-
low the lead of the Philadelphia
NAACP chapter and place before
Gov, James H. Duff formal pro-
test against the proposal reacti-
walton of Jim Grow unit in the
Pennsylvania National Guard. The
local group has held that Adje-
tant General Frank A. Weber is
moving to establish such a battal-
ion and the Governor will be ask
ed, according to NAACP execu-
tives, to "denounce the move as
being un-Ameriean.

Dear Editor

Dear Editor;
We, the members of the City
Association of Colorcd Women's
Clubs wish to express our keen
disappointment in Governor Ian
eyI concerning his attitude toward
President Trumans Bill of Civil
Rights.
Negroes, representing one four
til Of the population, just don't
see how their chief executive can
afford to oppose a bill which pro-
vides security for all the citizens
Of these United States. How can
any self-respecting citizen live in
society denying him the right
to vote for those who leglslate
the laws governing him? These
Civil Rights are nothing new.
They are as old as the Consttu-
ton. The fact that Negroes have
been denied these rights, is the
reason that laws should be pass
ed, guaranteeing them to all cit
liens.
The f. T. p, C.. only guarantees
economic security to all people

ney and a new conner to the Me-
gro New Deal ranks.
Servants of New Deal
Both Gay and Hubbard are
long time servants OF the New
Deal. Gay has held the Federal
post here for more than 10 years
and is said to have established an
appreciable record.
Hubbard, a Harvard University
trained specialist in civil rights
law, who has been given much of
the credit for the background
work on the Presidents program
in that field, is said to be highly
regarded in legal circles in Wash
ington. A former member of Alex
ander's firm, he is known to be
a close working associate of At
torney General Tom Clark and,
in all probability, could muster a
determining support where a
Presidential decision might be
concerned.
Alexander's Chances Slim
Alexander's chances, leaders be-
lieve, would be extremely slim
and based, in the main, upon SER
vices rendered the President by
Mrs, Alexander as a member of
the Executives Committee on

changed party affiliations less

to have little or no backing for

precaution may help head off the
infection entirely or lessen its
severity.
Listerine Antiseptic reaches
way back on throat surfaces and
quickly kills millions of bacteria.
Actual tests have shown reduc-
tions on mouth and throat sur
faces ranging up to 96.7% fifteen
minutes after a Listerine Anti
septic gargle, and up to 500 an
hour after.
This marked germ-killing ac-
ton, we believe, helps to explain
Listerine Antiseptic's impressive
test record in fighting colds.
Tests made over period of
twelve years showed that. those
who gargled Listerine Antiseptic
twice daily had fewer colds and
fewer sore threats, than those
who did not gargle. Moreover,
when Listerine Antiseptic users
did have colds, they were usually
milder and of shorter duration.
Surely, when you feel a cold
coming on, this germ killing &C
ton is wise precaution which
warrants your serious considera-
ton. But don't forget-gargle

among the germs that so often

Apparently these threatening
little fellows can live harmlessly
enough in your mouth and throat

day, when you're under par, over
tired, or with body resistance

or sudden changes in tempera-

headed for trouble!
Your common sense tells YOU
that if you can guard against such
a mass invasion" you have a
better chance of heading off the
trouble it so often stirs up.

ne old hOrse-Opera
formula is pass&, says
Cowboy Bill Boyd. He's
making big changes -.
TINE first thing William Hop
l. along Cassidy Boyd did
when he turned producer was to
buy himself white fve-gallon
hat and a pair of cowboy shoes.
The one-time romantic screen
hero of such super-colossals as
Cecil B. de Miles King of
Kings" Boyd has, in the twilight
of his career, forged to the top in
Westerns, today produces his
own Hopalong Cassidy series.
His purchase of hat and shoes
was not an expression of exuber-
ance. 'sNow I'm in business
for myself, l have to kid the
customers along" he says.
Hat and boots are the only
concessions the white-haired but
still youthful movie veteran will
make. When he registers at
hotel, it is minus his horse.
Toppe1's u HA.n
lHE horses name is Topper,
and. according to Boyd, he is an
awful ham. The last picture we
made he started to prance real
fancy, and got his front legs
tangled up. So help me. he
tripped and fell to the ground.
He's a white horse, and doggone
if he wasn't blushing deep red
when we came over to him."
Boyd's Western accent is
slightly synthetic. but he can
ride horse pretty well. A rather
gay character in his romantic
heyday, he has sobered consider
ably to please the kiddies.
AS a producer, Boyd intends
to break with some of the most
sacred traditions of horse opera.

HE Went Thataway''
RED HEPPNER

For example, there is always a
scene when the posse asks for
directions to its quarry. He
went thataway," says the cow
hand, calmly pointing in the
wrong direction. In the new
Hopalong series, he will point
the right way. However, even
with this help. the villains will
probably never catch their man.
Also, the opening scene may
be modified. Ordinarily three
guys are standing before a bar.
They need shaves, and are drink
ing raw whisky, 50 you know
they are cattle-rustlers.
"Ndalbe Mine Saxsapaxilla"
In COMES Hopalong. They eye
him in silence, then one of the
trio says: "What'll you drink,
Stranger" And he says: Make
mine sarsaparilla." This estab-
fishes him as the hero. Well, in
the new Cassidy series. Boyd is
toying with the notion of taking
a short beer.
Certain traditions, however,
even Boyd as boss does not dare
modify. Romance is still out.
The kids won't stand for it.
Nearest he ever came to a love
affair was when Evelyn Brent, as
the dance-hall hostess, lay NOR
tally wounded. why is it, she
gasped with her dying breath,
that a woman like me always
meets a man like you - too late"
Pattern for horse opera was
set IS years ago. The practice
is to make three or four on
one location more or less
simultaneously. laundering
hoofs from right to left, then
from left to right. Same horses.
same riders. different pictures.
Cost of an average picture is
100000, while the shooting time
runs about 80 hours. They make
a lot of money. - LOUIS BERG
