does not include $50 billion al
ready made available this year for
defense of Western Europe and
other non-Communist areas.
In a last-minute change, the
House committee went beyond
the recommendations of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff by adding 1924
million to the bill for the build
ing of "a more cargo ships for
the merchant fleet, on the theory
they may be needed later on. The
bill already contemplated going
ahead with Is merchant ships, so
that the total will be so.
IVA Funds Cut.
This increase was partly offset
by a last-minute cut of Sill mil
lion in IVA funds.
AS this bill was being reported
out, however, the committee was
put on notice by defense offic ais
that still more will be needed
later, because the United Nations
set-backs in Korea in the past
few weeks have already outm 3ded
the pending budget figure.
The passage of this bill will
bring the current Federal budget

A new campaign has been launch
ed known as the Christmas Savings
Club Campaign TO end in the Deem
Der Board, 1850.
The office has made out Christ
mas Savings Books for all Of the To-
cal presidents in the Association.
Now, it IS up to you to decide as to
the amount Of money you are going
to deposit in your Christmas Saw
ings Club.
A large number Of presidents has
already made deposits. One pres-
dent has deposited $500 on her club.
She is now in line to receive inter
est on all over ten.
Those or US who were in atten-
dance during the Convention were
thrilled to see the long line formed
in front of the H. B. A. Bank during
Banking Hour. AL presidents who
added members, were issued checks
and after endorsing the checks to-
day, they took them to the bank and
cashed them for REAL H. B. A
MONEY. Ask Mr.. W. M. Bell. OF
Mr.. G. D. Cotton, or Mr.. A. J. Bar
nett, or Rev j. E. Grace, and a large
number of others -. they know.
The Christmas Savings Club works
like this:
For each member added w, 70 ter

From ten to Is you will be giver

Der added.
From IS to 20 you will be given

CHRISTMAS CHECK TREE

The office is making ready to have
on the platform Of our beautiful H
B. A. Auditorium a lovely Christmas
Check Tree, whose decoration will
consist only of checks. To date, a
total of 60 checks will decorate the
tree and with a little less than a
month and a half to 90, we hope the
number will run above the hundred
mark.
We wish it were possible for every
president in the Association to be
represented on the tree, hgWever,
however, this is only made possible
through you and your works.

The Christmas Savings

The Christmas Savings Club Train
has started on its five months tour.

train in the following towns:
Laurel, Hattiesburg, DeSoto, Wig
gins, Shubuta, Meridian, Daleville,
Crandall, Ellisville, Bond, Brooklyn,
Macon, Columbia, Lawrence, Petal,
Waynesboro, Picayune.
The largest delegation thus far
seemed 10 have aboarded the train in
Blisvil1e and the second largest del
egation got on in Hattiesburg. The
conductor of this train has his spot
light on other adjacent towns. There
Is plenty good room for other pas
sengers who would like to ride this
train.
You VIII be glad that you got a.
board this H B. A. train when we

Christmas SAVINGS
Club Campaign

The Christmas Savings Club Cam
paign moves along nicely. 1t was
not expected that too big a showing
would be made between the Con
vention and the Sep cmber Quarter
~ Board, in view Of the great pull
that was made in the Matte L. Lar
Kin Campaign. which terminated in
the Convention, however, the office
is well pleased with the interest
manifested by those concerned in the
Christmas Savings Club Campaign
thus Far.
Several presidents nave stated to
the Secretary that they have plans
working by which they hope to or
ganize new lodges after the close Of
the September Board.
Since it has been quite q while
since we have had a new lodge or
ganized and as an inducement to
those presidents who plan to organ
ize said lodges, the office will give
rs Q bonus, $500 to the president
who organizes new lodge.
Secretary.

Re.erved seats will be arranged
for all presidents who are taking a
part in the Christmas Tree, however,
there will be only one seat for pres
idents who have added, l, 2, 3, 4
and up. Where there are presidents
who tie with l or 2 members, it
means that those presidents will be
required to occupy the same seat,
The question that stands out in my
mind it: who will be seated first and
there are four presidents
with the same number Of members?
Well, for this, you will have to be
present and see for yourself. This
part Of our program for the last
quarter Of 1850 will be quite anus
ing.

Clarence Mitchell
Reps Joseph Ball
For FEPC Smear

Washington, D. C.-In a letter
to former Senator Joseph Ball,
publisher of the Washington Labor
Letter, a weekly news letter,
Clarence M. Mitcell, NAACP La
Dor secretary castigated Ball for
what he called an unfair attack on
FEPC legislation.
Ball had repeated Congressman
John Rankin's "unblushing lie"
that FEPC legislation originated
with the Communist party.
Mitchelrs letter said:
"As a former resident of Min
nesota, l am shocked to discover
that your Labor Letter of June 3,
1850 makes a vigorous and
thoroughly unfair attack on FEPC
legislation.
You are supporting the conten-
lions of those dishonest people
who are unable to answer argu-
ments in favor of FEPC with
facts. On page of the Letter, you
state that Senator George pointed
out that the FEPC originated in
the 1928 Communist Party pro-
gram. This is an unblushing lie
that originated with Congressman
John Rankin of Mississippi.
1T is amazing that you, a for
mer political writer and senator,
would join in such reprehensible
action against this legislation.
You state that southern feeling is
so deep on this issue that there
would be widespread defiance of
the law if it passed. It is silly to
assume that the defiance of law
would be any greater than the de-
fiance of the recent Supreme
Court decisions outlawing segre-
cation at the Universities of Tex
as and Oklahoma, and on dining
cars of railroads."
Sincerely yours,
Clarence Mitchell

reason is that Stanfield almost

Even If there aren't any marks

Mr.. lotion described the work
of various Negro schools in the
field of new discoveries in science.
He urged Minneapolis to support
the annual financial drive of 80
Negro colleges of the south which
have been the foundation upon
which much of the education of
the present day Negro leaders is
based.
Mr.. lotion, a native of Mime
apolis, who left the city early to
become one OF the countryS out
standing bankers and civic leaders,
made an eloquent plea for the need
for American corporations to as
sist financially, such causes as the
United Negro College Fund.
About forty business and civic
leaders heard Mr.. lotion.
Judson Bemis said Minneapolis
contributors numbering 800 have
so far given $1,000 to the fund. He
said the fund drive committee
hopes to raise the $4,000 quota.
