 Charge Accounts

HOLLYWOOD, (PD- You may soon be able to step up to the box office at the Bijou and say: Charge it, please"
 Yes, to crown such lures as free dishes, bank nights and popcorn, movie men have dreamed up new bait: boxoffice charge accounts.
 The see-it-noW-and-pay-la r plan was matched by the King Brothers, a trio of Hollywood pro- ducers. They're offering it-free as tonic for ailing film profits.
 The plan operates this way:
 A patrons credit rating will be established just as it is when he opens a department store charge account. He will be issued a credit card. At the box office, the cashier will note the card number, name and number of guests. The GUS toner will be billed at the end of the month.

Labor Secretary Forecasts Million More Jobs

WASHINGTON, CP)-Secretary of labor Tobin forecast yesterday an. increase of a million jobs by the end of the year and a cOrre- spending drop in unemployment.
 -Tobin reported to President Truman that the employment sit uation is improving steadily.
 He told reporters on. leaving the White House:
 Tt looks very much like there will be decided increase in em- ployment during the. next six months and that by the end of the year poyrollS will be increased by approximately 100000 persons.
 This does not take in the possi- bility of a major strike in coal or steel, he said.
 Tobin said there would be sub stantial increase in employment and a drop in unemployment fig ureS beginning about the middle of September.
 He said he based his forecast on the fact that purchasing orders to build up depleted inventories al ready are increasing and will con- tinue to accelerate. He also said the employment situation would be helped by many workers re- turning to school in the fall.
 Asked if he thought a steel and coal strike could be averted, he replied he devoutedly hopes so.

Depth Explorer Gives Up Attempt

SMUGGLER'S COVE, Calf. (P) Marine explorer Otis Barton has called off, at least temporarily, his attempt to descend 5000 feet be- low the oceans surface.
 Beset for three days by mechan- ical difficulties and rough Wea- ther, Barton Monday had himself hauled back to the surface after being lowered in his diving bell to 2300 feet. This is probably the deepest any man has ever gone alone. He and naturalist William Beebe set the current diving rec ord of 3O28 feet off Bermuda in 1884.
 In Mondays dive, Barton said he saw a shaped light, apparently some sort of fish; a beautiful eel" and a jellyfish giving off golden glow. He call ed off the descent because of power failure.

1t ought to be a crime for box
ing commissions to permit fighters
past their prime or too mediocre
to appear in the ring. The partic-
ular case in point is that of the
Alabama Kid.
The Kid has been boxing for
some 10 years now. At one time
he was heavyweight champion Of
Australia (before that c%ountry's
lily-white laws madeh i'm leave the
land and his wife,. In the states
he never did rise above the status
of a club fighter although he met
several first-rate performers.
Recently he was slaughtered in
Toledo by the classy light heavy,
Archie Moore. Moore murdered
him in four rounds. At the time
he fought Moore, he was booked
to meet Sid Peaks here in Dayton.
1t was the occasion whent his
newspaper advised the Dayton
Boxing commission that it was
foolish in permitting the veteran
to fight here. Not only foolish,
but dangerous. The fight went off
and, as expected, Peaks KO'd the
Kid in the first round.

Joe Vosmick, the new Skipper
of the Oklahoma City AA club
would welcome Minoso if itw ere
not for the jim crow laws Of that
area. Gibbons conclusion is that
Minoso will be forced to return
to the Dayton clan, a team be-
meath his class, but will probably
mean a pennant for the Dayton
Indians.
Despite the sudden setback for
the flashky Cuban, he is young
and still has the chance to make
the grade. Twenty-six years old,
and born at Perico, Matanzas Pro-
vince, Cuba, and played with the
New York Cubans until bought
by the Cleveland Indians system,
for the Dayton club and reported
near the close of the '48 season
where he batted .525 in IL games
and helped clinch the Central lea

Old Fighters Should Be
Barred By Commission

After the fight the Kid said he
was through. Several local sports
writer's applauded his wise, if be-
lated action. But promptly he re-
turned to his home bailiwick and
was permitted by the Columbus
boxing commission to sign for an
other fight with Archie Moore. 1t
was a crime to permit the fight
to- go on, but money-mad promo
tiers and managers e concerned
about the gate not the physical
safety of the fighters.
The fight was held last Friday

NEW YORK, March 7. AMP
The commission of inquiry into
Forced Labor heard testimony
from severalw illnesses here re-
Gently that thousands of Ameri-
cans, most of whom are Negroes,
are being held under forced labor
conditions in the south. The COM
mission, an unofficial group which
had previously heard testimony
about forced labor in Communist
dominated lands, is headed by DR..
Harry Gideonse, president of the
Brooklyn college.
Chief witness was Atty. Row.
land Watts, white, secretary of
the Workers Defense league, Bal
timore, who said that virtual slav-
cry exists among many southern
sharecroppers and laborers in sew
eral areas are held in bondage by
poor way, usury and sometimes
by armed guards.
He said an estimated 10000
families live in a state of peon-
age in Georgia, Floradia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Arkansas. Most of them are Ne
groes, but "there are many
whites" He pointed out that the
civil rights section of the depart
ment Of justice was handicapped
in prosecuting cases by lack of
personnel. Of 20 cases handled by
the department since 1888, only
10 convictions resulted.
Another witness was DR.. c.. Lee

Goodman college, Daytonia Beach,

debt slaves in the turpentine in

were housed in inclosed COM

Affairs sponsors monthly meetings
for the purpose of informing Day

shaping up in the world. These
meetings are open to the public.
1t is particularly important that

which directly concerns the dark
er peoples of the world including
those in the United States. The
Human Rights Declaration pur-
ports to outline the rights Of all
men in any society, that is, the
basic rights. 1t was embodied in
the United Nations documents be-
cause of the desire of the darker
peoples of the world for that hui
man dignity which has been, and
still is denied by the arrogance of
Angle-Saxons.

TARIFF CUTS
5sg E}t

Another sign of American aid to enable the world earn more dollars tto spend in America) is the list of tariff adjustments which have been announced Devaluation in itself tantamount to slice off the tariff The cuts will add to the advantage They have been negotiated with 10 nations but under the favored nation clause, the benefits will accrue to all the other trading nations This is called the multi lateral system, entrusted with the bilatera system under which tariff favors restricted to the two parties An example of the difference is the new adjustments in the American tariff particular items of iron and steel will be generazed to other iron and steel producers That is to say Britain will benefit with Sweden though not to the same extent. It is this system of a fair field and favor that is regarded by all liberals one of the cornerstones of peace
 The tariff agreements are, of course. reciprocal That is to say, the cuts that have ben authorized n the American tariff in return for tariff cuts that the other party will make in respect to American products Sweden, for instance will reduce her duty automobiles from 15 to 20 per cent The sum total is the further opening of markets, the increased willingness of people to trade This corresponds to elf interest and not only the enlightened variety which yields dividends indirectly and in the long run but the here-an now variety

Servants of Brotherhood

Southern race disturbances or XXX flogging make sensational headlines, while the little acts of kindness between white and color ed people seldom get in the news papers.
 In Florence, South Carolina, for instance, a Negro western Unicn messenger. James E. Jones, has spent his extra time and energy in recent years collecting money for the March of Dimes. James Jones has been so energetic and so devoted that he has won the ad- miration of all citizens in his com munity and last year this column ist nominated him as a servant of brotherhood.
 The other day, however, the man who has been helping others, him. self was taken sick. He was sent to the hospital with a complica- ton Of various ailments, leaving a wife and seven children without funds.
 Promptly the white citizens of Florence started a campaign to help him. Last January, Jones col lected $2,576 to help the March Of Dimes. Now his friends are try ing to top this mark to help him.

 GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY HORSES AND WOMEN By GeOrgi Granada, Special Krass Correspondent

They give here in New York ev cry year a horse show. It is an oc- casion for the Wall Street monop- olists to dress themselves fancy in furs and diamonds and to show how many dollars each one is able to give the impression of having. It is monopoly capitalism on pa rade.
 There are also horses. These horses are not product of dia- lectical materialism as proved by the Michurin-Lysenko theories, but are plain capitalistic horses, bred without the aid of the scientific progress inspired by MarXism-Len- inism- Stalinism. The horses are shown to judges who put ribbons on them, thus discriminating against other horses. Discfimina- ton is an American characteristic and they do it not only with horses but also with roses, chrysanthe- nuns and everything else.
 But the horses are not the most important biologic units in the Horse Show. That elite position is reserved for the women Really what goes on at the Horse Show is that everybody looks at the women. Their faces, their clothes, their shapes, their ages, these at tract attention. Those who go ev- cry year notice that each year

President Truman has received information-so far not conclusive that the Russian atom bomb went off prematurely-probably by accident Most effective tactic against Louis Johnson in the op- inion of Navy men is to promote him for President in 1852.
