Second Baseman OF Dodq-
ers Says Negroes Will
Fight for u. 5.
BY DOUGLAS B. CORNELL

WASHINGTON July Is. --tR--
Jackie Robinson said today that if
singer Paul Robson wants to
sound silly" in public, that's his
business"
The Brooklyn Dodgers slender
second baseman, first Negro to
break into the major leagues, told
the House Un-American Activities
committee that Negro Americans
would fight for this country again
st Russia or any other enemy"
He was the last witness called by
the committee to refute a recent
statement by Robson, once ia
nous athlete himself, that Negroes
in the United States would not
fight in war against Russia.
The committees small hearing
room was packed when Robinson
and his attractive wife arrived, and
a loud amen" came from some
where in the crowd when he fin
ished reading long prepared state
ment.
The baseball star said he never
has had time to become an expert
on anything except base stealing
or something like that" but that
he appeared out of sense of re-
sponsibility. He said there has
been "a terrific lot of misunder-
standing" about Communist influ-
ence among Negroes and it's bound
to hurt my peoples cause unless
it's cleared up"
Robinson said any Negro worth
his SALT is going to resent ANY
kind of slurs and discrimination"
because of his race.
This has got absolutely nothing
to do with what Communists may
or may not be trying to do, he
declared.
In case of war, Robinson said,
Negroes would do their best to
help their country win the war" the
, same as italians and Irish and
Jews and Swedes and Slavs and
other Americans
mo one has ever questioned my
races loyalty except a few people
who don't amount to very much. -

The fact-finding board in the steel
wage dispute organized today at a
White House meeting.
AS they did SO, the White House
made public letter from Samuel
1. Rosenman, one of its members,
and former special counsel to
President Truman.
Rosenman wanted it to be made
matter of record that his New
York City law firm is counsel to
the Rotary Electric Steel Company
of Detroit. One of his law partners
is director of the company which
has a contract with a local of the
CLIO United Steel Workers.
The three board members met
with Presidential Assistant John B.
Steelman to discuss such things as
a schedule of hearings.
With the eyes of all industry ana
unions upon them, the three mem
bers will hear arguments for ana
against a fourth round of postwar
wage raises in the steel industry,
and for and against larger pension
and insurance plans.
After organizing, the board an
nounced it will open public hear
ings in New York July %.

Merry Go Round

Copyright, 1919, by Bell Syndicate. Inc.)

~ ASHINGTON- The private
power lobby pulled skillful wires in
the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee last week and created neat
short circuit in one of Mr.. Tru-
mans famous campaign promises
The effect was to switch public
power over to the private utility
companies in the west.
What the committee did was cut
out appropriations for government
transmission facilities ,and invite
private power companies to build
them instead. This would stop
public power from being transmit
ted to the public-except through
the private companies at their own
higher rates.
The committee voted SO secretly
behind closed doors that its action
was scarcely noticed by the press
Yet the effect was to sabotage the
entire Truman public-power pro-
