Federal cartridge
Seeks Workers In
Ordnance Revived

The warfare in Korea and the
threat of World War has caused
the reactivation of a part of the
old Twin Cities Ordnance plant
now known as the Twin Cities
arsenal
Federal Cartridge Corp, of
which Charles L. Horn, wartime
FEPC member is president has
the contract to operate the re-
activated plant.
Applications are being accepted
at the Foshay Tower in Mime
apolis in the ground floor lobby.
Jobs will be filled in this order:
office workers, purchasing, per-
sonnet and production workers.
Federal Cartridge won't en-
ploy the guard force and the fire
department as before since the
government has these depart
ments set up under civil service
since the closing Of small arms
production at the close of War II.
Present plans calls for employ
ment of not more than thou
sand persons which is just a
mere fraction of those employed
at the plant peak production in
l943 when 10000 persons were
employed. OF that number, 1900
were member of the Twin City
Negro community. The 1900
were scattered throughout the
plant in 43 different job classifi-
cations.
1t is understood that the Fed
eral Cartridge Corp, was the
first small ammunition firm to get
a large contract since the begin
ming of the present conflict in
the Pacific.

The enemy fought back. and
only by hand to hand combat
with bayonets and rifle butts
used as clubs, did the Americans
dislodge the Korean Communist
forces.
The infantrymen from the 25th
division have been some Of the
most effective fighters and have
engaged in the most fierce bat
ties of the UN military defense
against the Communists.
Tuesday the lines held by Me-
gro troops were reinforced by
white and Negro soldiers at the
battlefront.
In the European theater in
World War II many Negro troops
complained because they were
seldom assigned to combat duty.
Because the Communists make
the charge that the present ac-
ton In Korea is white imperial
ism" the Negro troops were
rushed to the fray for psyche
logical reasons as well as for
their fighting ability.
The first victory they won was
when they stormed and captured
Yecheon two weeks ago. II was
the first offensive victory of
American arms in Korea. In that
action and they also drove within
a few miles Of Chinju.
Negro troops have fought in
every war waged by the U. s. In
most instances when properly
differed and trained they have
acquitted themselves with honor

ton on their economic and politi-
cal beliefs than an election judge
has to ask voter how he voted.
He adds that "tlle meanest pick
pocket in the land can demand,
as a matter of right, the protec-
ton of constitutional safeguards
which Government employees with
long records of faithful service are
denied by loyalty review boards" +"
Mr.. McWilliams goes all the
way. He insists that it was wrong
for two great universities to
dismiss professors because they
believed in communism and may
have held party cards. ITO say
that a Communist cannot be a
loyal American is to say that there
are ideas which should be banned
as heresy and thoughts which
should be. suppressed as dan
gerous' and 'subversive.' :"
While the author does mention
now and then the suppression of
nonconformity in Russia. most of
his examples of savage totali-
tarianis.n are drawn from Hitler's
Germany. Like most professional
liberals, he still sees fascism as
the great menace. Mr.. McWil-
liams nowhere shows that he
realizes, as, of course, he does, that
the whole free world is engaged
in struggle to the death against
the Soviet slave state-a war in
which both ideas and bullets are
ammunition. Nor does he con-
slider the technic by which Com
munists in this country join we'll
organizations, get con-
troll of them and lead deluded
liberals by the ears to party goals.
The spies and convicted perjurers
who have turned up occasionally
in official places likewise are
ignored or mentioned in passing.
Communism is an theology as we'll
as state embarked on conquest.
In fighting it. can ideas be sepa-
rated from persons?

Lowell Thomas Adventure Across
The HimoIoyos to Forbidden Tibet

freely confided their fears in the
father and son and expressed
hopes for American aid in case of
attack.
To invaders on foot the coun-
try offers formidable natural OBJ
staeles. Should parachute troops
be used. the Tibetan army, small
but expanding steadily, would re-
quire arms suitable for guerrilla
warfare. Even so. says Mr..
Thomas. he distinctly got the i'm
preston that while Allied military
counselors might be welcome, AL
lied troops would not.
Centuries of fierce exclusiveness
have apparently not shaken the
Tibetans' conviction that the mod
ern world has little to offer beyond
weapons for self-defense.
The Thomases received every
consideration during their stay in
the feudal land. The only setback
they suffered was when the elder
Thomas was thrown from his
horse and broke his leg in nine
places. Otherwise. except for the
complete lack of modern conveni-
ences. it was a Cooks tour for
that part of the world.

Presents q Strange
And Murky Tale
REDEMPTION

REDEMPTION
BY Francis Stuart. (Deuin- -Adair; !,
S3.)
Mr.. Stuart has written a strange
and not altogether appetizing nov
el about an Irishman named Ezra
Arrigho who comes home from
Germany after the war to rail at
the duck pond" complacency OF
his countrymen and their genius
to tame" BY way of protest. he
refuses to return to his wife, pin
ing instead for a German girl
whom he supposes to be dead in
the ruins of Berlin.
Father Mellowes. the village
priest, Is kind and understanding.
Ezra balefully seduces the priests
maiden sister. and then. further
to destroy her innocence, forces
her to share in his knowledge of a
butchers murder of his mistress.
Ultimately, Arrigho's German
mistress reappearS, and she, the
priest. the murderer. the priests
sister and Arrigho all go to live
together. Apparently they are
united in the feeling that in the
butchers crime and expiation,
their lives have been renewed.
A murky tale. as you see. Mr.
Stuart has underlined each event
heavily with symbolic meaning
Ezra intones his thoughts in a
curious, pretentious speech that
has overtones of T. S. Eliot, a Cir
cumstance which does nothing tt
