Negro In Business Confab
Asks Recognition For
Small Business

WASHINGTON - The fourth an
nual Negro in Business" confer
ence went on record Friday in favor
of an appropriation for personnel
which would enable the special adj
wiser to the Secretary of Commerce.
Emmer Martin Lancaster, to more
effectively serve the interests of
Negro small business people. The
idea, first preached by architect
Paul r. williams of Los Angeles
at the opening session Wednesday
night, was formally presented later.
along with two other resolutions, by
the American Savings and. Loan
League whose executive committee,
meeting concurrently, had adopted
them.
Secretary Charles Sawyer, ad-
dressing the same meeting which
heard Williams, told the 400 per-
sons attending that "all Americans
must be permitted toenjoy the bene'
fits OF our economic system or we
shall ultimately lose that system"
He declared that the contribution
of the Negro to the national econo-
my cannot be segregated from the
contributions of all other Ameri-
cans. and that the services of the
Department should be more fully
utilized by more business people +
they would be successful.
At a later session the business
people heard H., A. Howard of Los
Angeles, president of the savings or
ganiZation, urge more Negroes to
take an interest in finance. He pro-
posed that an educational campaign
be undertaken by the Negro bank
ing and insurance groups as a
means of securing wider support for
these institutions.
THE (bank and insurance. fail
ures of the past must not be allow

ed. Their trust in our financial in
situations, shattered by bitter ex-
perience, but solid, sound and we'll
protected today, must be re-kindled."

ership by Negroes, for his business
leadership in Los Angeles as presi-
dent of the Broadway Federal Saw
ings and Loan Association, and for
his vision in the founding of the
American Savings and Loan
League" Joseph II. Greene, presi-
dent Of the group. made the presen-
tation.
A highlight Of the conference was
the program arranged by the Ma
tional Business Education League,
whose president is DIR. Irene c.
Hypps, and which brought students
of the high schools of the District
OF Columbia together for closer
exposure to business people and
their problems.
Other discussions centered about
the establishing and operating of a
small business, factors necessary TO
the achievement of business success
the preparation the colleges are
giving youth for business careers,
and study of investment opportun-
tiles in housing projects for Negro
operated financial institutions.
The two other resolutions which
were adopted by the savings group
and adopted by the general confer
ence applauded Defense Secretary
Louis A Johnson for asking for re-
ports on compliance with President
Truman's order relating to the elm
iantion of segregation in the armed
services, and urged passage of pend
ing housing legislation.

President Asked To
Reject New Army
Plan

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Presi-
dent Truman has been asked to
overrule the action of Secretary of
Defense Johnson and, disapprove
the new army program because it
is Intellectual in its elimination of
segregation.
Grant Reynolds and A. Phillip
Randolph, co-chairmen of the Com
mittee Against Jim Grow in Mill
tary Service and Training, in a let
ter to the Chief Executive, denounc-
ed the new army policy, and re-
quested that he reject it.
The letter said, There is nothing
in this allegedly new Army policy
to benefit the mass of Negro service
men or to forward the aims of your
civil rights program"
Concluding their letter, the lead
ers stated a belief that the Presi-
dent was morally obligated to reject
the program because it does not live
up to the terms of his executive or
der.
In defense of the new army pro-
gram, a spokesman has made it
plain that Negroes who qualify may
be assigned to White units UBder
certain special circumstances. This
is to refute the statement made
when the order first came out that
Negroes trained in service schools
would be assigned only to Negro

By Maj. Thomas M. Mol

by MAJ. homoS M. Ntot
How can you tell when to expect
your dividend check. If you are one
of the thousands who had more
than one serial number-or did
not have any at all?
The answer Is easy-you can't.
At least a half million Army
veterans had at least two serial
numbers. Some had three Zone as
an enlisted man, one as a warrant
officer and one as a commissioned
officer. An undetermined num-
Der of Navy and Marine veterans
also had more than one serial
number.
And $4,000 or more Coast Guard
officers never had any serial num-
Der. They never were assigned
any.
Here is what the VA has done:
l. 1t has assigned arbitrary
serial" numbers to the guys who
never had any. These numbers
are from a series not used by any
service during the war Qike the
5o.000,000 series, for example)
Those numbers already have been
assigned, but don't write in to find
out what yours is. Sit patiently
and wait.
2. Veterans with more than one
number. of course. will be paid on
the basis of one of them-but
which one you can't be sure.
Probably it will be the highest
number you had, but not neces-
sarily. The reason for that is
that enlisted men had higher
numbers than officers, and most
enlisted men had taken out their
insurance before they were COM
missioned.
Thus the highest number would
be the one they had at the time
the insurance was taken out. But
there will be exceptions here, and
there's no way of guessing where
the exceptions will come.
ALI you can do is sit and wait.
Veterans who had more than
one serial number and more than
one insurance policy are even more
In the dark concerning the arrival
date of their dividend check. But
the VA won't forget you, if you
happen to be one. Your check will
arrive, have no fear,
Most other veterans, of course,
can estimate the approximate ar
rival time Of their check. Pay
ment will be made according toll
the size of the last three digits of
the serial number-the smaller the
last three digits ttaken as a single
number, the sooner the payment.

According to Morris w. Gilbert,
