IN MISSISSIPPI

JACKSON, Miss. - amp -
In accordance with President Tru-
mans Executive Order 1880, de-
creeing fair employment practices
in all federal agencies, the Vet
Grams Administration has organi-
zed FEPC boards in Mississippi,
it was announced here last week.
At the regional office in Jack
son, VA Fair employment officer
has appointed the following per
sons TO serve on the Fair Employ
ment Hearing Board: James L.
Easom, chairman; Herbert l..
Green and Mrs. Eloise c. Aber-
crombie, members; and Joe Carter.
Ernest r. Brady and DR.. Gerald
w. Farrell, alternates.
At the central office the follow
ing fair employment appeals board
has been authorized, Thomas J.
F'railey, chairman: DR.. John H.
Baird and Edward w. Brooke.
members. and John A. Rothrock,
F. G. Fraser and Kathleen d.
Smith, alternates.
In the order approved by hospi-
tai manager, C. Camp, section five
reads. Employees, who have a
grievance resulting from a per-
sonnet action in which discrimi-
nation is alleged, shall be entitled
to make a formal or informal
complaint to the division chief
not later than 30 days after he
learns of the alleged acts.
IF adjustment cannot be made
at that level. 1t will then be re-
ferred to the appropriate manager.
Whenever the division chief and
the manager are unable to obtain
proper understanding and adjust
ment, the complaint will then be
referred to the fair employment
board for necessary consultation
and hearing.
"In the event the complaint is

With this setup in action Negro

had dangling before his youthful
eyes the emsluments and the end
less advantages Of being white
In white mans country; he had
the opportunity of enjoying the
dubious luxury of looking down
upon a race with seorn and con-
tempt; he might have enjoyed
the pleasure OF the court of the
Pharaoh of white supremacy; he
might have basked In the sunshine
of the prestige that white skin
gives one in this and other coun-
tries. But Walter White, like the
Moses OF old, chose to share the
Affections of his enslaved people
There is something in the choice
Of Walter that Is majestic and
enthrilling. that should inspire Ne
groes for endless generations. A
man who was white might have
lived white" but preferred to
live Negro. The greatness of Wal
ter White indicated in the choice
he made win stand out in history
as one of the moral epics Of the
twentieth century.
The fight for freedom is forced
upon most of us by sheer neces-
sity; but it was not SO with
Walter White. He looked as did
Paul and saw things that awaited,
but none of those things moved
him from his high and holy pur-
pose. We hail Truman, our great
President, as Man of the year.
Let us hail Walter White as the
man of the yearsl

TRUMAN MAN OF THE YEAR
WALTER WHITE MAN OF The YEARS


II President Truman is the man
Of the year Of 1s4s. Walter White
is the man OF the many years,
as director OF the destinies Of the
NAAcP. The Negro race in parti-
cular and the friends of human
freedom IN general, owe to this
intrepid son of q noble sire. a
debt OF gratitude that it would
be difficult indeed to discharge.
Quite naturally when DR.. Dubois
and the late James Weldon John
son had done their best in the
propagation OF the NAACP and It's
programs and policies, the Negro
race realized what a tremendous
task was looming to fill the ma
tional and international niche IN
world affairs that was made va
cant when the labours OF these
moral stalwarts for the NAACP
were ended. Whatever there may
have been Of anxiety and misgiv-
ings was soon dispelled when
Walter White took over. He took
hold with both hands and a stout
heart, and how well he has car
ried on through the years is a
matter Of modern history.
Walter White has been an un-
relenting fighter who like Napo-
Icons Old Guard, would die but
never surrender. It is doubtful IL
1t were really possible to find
a man who could more success
fully have succeeded men of the
mould of Dubois and Johnson.
But Walter White filled the re-
quirements fully. There have been
times when his program appeared
rash and hill-ads1sed but time has
indicated him on almost every
count.
He like his distinguished pre-
decessors, first concentrated on
segregation in the North and dis
elimination In the South. But
White soon moved over and began
his fight not alone against discri-
mination in the South, but against
segregation also.
OF course we all know that it
was the valiant Dubois who taught
the Negro the art and science
OF fighting for his rights. Events
have indicated his point Of view,
for 1t Is apparent to even
casual observer that the Old South
will not surrender its right to
dominate and subjugate the south
ern Negroes without bitter fight.
So when Walter White toop up
the burden of advancing the Ma
ACP he took over the Dubois
method of moral warfare and how
effective he has been In the pur-
suance Of his course every Negro
in the world must be glad to test
ify. Walter White has lone the
impossible in race relations in
this country. OF course it was
trench warfare; but little by lit
tie he has won for the Negro
race a recognition that amazes
thoughtful men and women every
where. Because Walter White
stood up to his task instead of
backing down before it, the gates
OF full-fledged citizenship in this
country are somewhat ajar, as we
stand upon the threshold of 1919.
The thing that most Of all elated
this writer when he would extol
the greatness of Walter White,
is the fact that Mr.. White deli
berately chose his portion, and
that was a share Of the ignominy
and odium and indignity and the
embarrassment Of being Negro
Walter White could have pass

hearing of Miss Brice's offer to
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune, the
Founder President of the National
Council of Negro Women, also
donated their services and will
do a group of songs with Miss
Brice at the concert. The Amer
lean International Singers is COM
posed of forty artists of all races
and nationalities.
When Mrs. Bethune was refused
the use of Constitutional Hall by
the Daughters of the American
Revolution. she was told that the
contract must read for white
artists only" Miss Brice heard
of the refusal and donated her
services for a protest concert at
Carnegie Hall or any suitable
place. The national leaders and
organizations poining Miss Brice
and Mrs. Bethune are making the
concert more than just another
musical event. 1t is now taking
on the form of national protest
against the OARS actions and
segregation and discrimination in
all its forms.
Heading this list of sponsors
are Mayor O'Dwyer, DIR. Charming
Fl. Tobias, Mrs. Robert L. Vann
and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who

Negro policy. Prominent citizens
from all fields of achievement are

of the refusal of the Daughters

Costumes which require" guns

should be checked to see that no

to the party as part Of the cos
tune.
If masks are worn, they should
fit well so that vision is not limited
either straight ahead or from
side to side. Also, the eye holes
must be large enough and with
smooth edges so that there is no
possibility of cutting or otherwise
injuring the eyes. Also, warns the
council, masks must be removed
before eating. Trying to eat through
mask may cause a child to choke.
Part Of the planning for any cos

wearing costumes that they must
not be worn to and from the school
or home where the party is to be
held and should never be worn
while riding a bicycle.

Keep Parties Safe
BY David Taylor Marke
AP Educational writer

This is the season for parties. At
home and in school eager groups of
will gather to celebrate
Christmas and the New Year. Cos
tunes will be worn, decorations
hung and games played.
And, timely indeed is the warn
ing issued to parents and teachers
by the National Safety Council. In
its December issue of Safety Edu-
cation, it points out how likely ac-
cidents are to occur when costumes
are worn at parties.
Children should be discouraged
from wearing costumes that are
gauzy or filmy or made of paper,
says the council. If they are worn,
they should be made fiame-resis-
tant. With the gauzy or filmy type,
this can be done by saturating them
in a solution composed of nine
ounces of borax, four ounces of
boric acid and one gallon water.
After the material is thoroughly
saturated, it should be wrung out
by hand and hung to dry. This pro-
cess will not take away flexibility
or softness of the material. It does
insure a measure of safety.
Again, the council warns against
wearing costumes too long or too
loose. They may cause tripping
accidents, particularly while going
up or down stairs or through hall
ways.
