In the south, the American 25th

Javists Requests
Hearings On His
Armed Services
Proposal

WASHINGTON - Congressman
Jacob K. Javists last Tuesday, ask
ed Chairman Adolph ]. SABBATH of
the Rules Committee to hold hear
ing of an early date on his resolu-
ton to create segregation and
discrimination in the armed SER
vices. Congressman Javists believes
that at this time consideration of
his bill would greatly aid in bring
ing into accord with our basic
principles, legislation necessary to
achieve the greatest efficiency in
power of our national military es-
tablishment.
Congressman Javists resolution
was introduced in the House Jan.
II, asking for non-segregation on
the grounds of race, color, creed or
national origin in the armed forces
which is fundamental and essential
to our constitutional democracy.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on Rules.
Appearing before the House
Armed Services committee last
week, Congressman Javists plead
ed for a resolution to the selective
Services act which would eliminate
SEGREGATION in the armed services.

The hearing was held before
Judge j. K. knight, senior federal
district judge, who realizing the
lack of evidence being presented on

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 20
How Ellis Greene, one of Geor-
gia's leading truck farmers, ex-
banded a one-acre All club project
into an $4,000 enterprise is con-
tanned in report received this
week by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture from the Georgia State
Extension Service.
The report points out that Mr..
Green, who lives near Savannah,
Ga, became interested in truck
farming about % years ago when
he was enrolled in a All club by
Benjamin Adams, who had recently
been appointed colored county
agent of Chatham county, Ga.
Mr.. Adams urged him to carry
out a truck project, suggesting that
his vegetables could be sold in
nearby Savannah. Also, the county
agent taught him how to increase
his yield by rotating his crops and
by building up the fertility of his
land with legumes. Four years
later, young Green had grown to
manhood and was operating a 15-
acre truck farm. "Ten acres be-
longed to my parents and | was
renting an additional five acres"
saws, Mr.. Greene.
Today, according to the report,
he owns 23S acres of which so are
devoted continuously to truck
crops in a rotation pattern. Last
year, his products brought him
close to $4,000. He had 10 acres
of sweet potatoes, 10 acres of tur-
nip green, five of stringbeans, five
of onions, five of cabbage, two of
tomatoes and the rest in mustard,
collardS, and peas.
Mr.. Green takes his products to
Savannah two or three times a
week and sells them on the whole
sale market; For example, his 10
acres of turnips yielded about $500
dozen lunches which brought from
60 to 90 cents a dozen punches, or
approximately $4,000.
