Fights Against
Repeal OF 18th
Amendment

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 CAMP
The American Council on Human
Rights this week registered a pro-
test against the Joint Resolution
introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives by Cong. Sam Hobbs
3D., Ala.) asking for repeal of
the 14th Amendment to the Con-
stitution.
Elmer w. Henderson, director
Of the ACHR, stated that Rep.
Hobbs resolution is ''an indication
of the desperate tactics being in
dulged in by the Dixiecrats to frus-
trate the Supreme Court decisions
UNFOLDING equality under the Con-
stitution."
Cong. Hobbs appeared before the
U. S. Supreme court last spring in
opposition to the Henderson Dining
Car case, stating that God had de-
creed the races must eat separately.
Mr.. Hobbs office, however, indi-
Gated that this resolution intro
duced by the Albanian last Tues
day had nothing to do with the
Supreme Courts decision on the
abolition of segration in some pub
lie places, as the congressman had
introduced the same resolution two
years ago.
The 14th amendment clearly
states among other things that no
state shall make or enforce any
law which shall bridge the privi-
lodges of immunities of citizens of
the United States; nor shall any
state deprive any person Of life,
liberty, or property without due
process of law, nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws.
This amendment was proclaimed
on July %, 1866, and ratified by
% northern states; rejected by
Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland and
10 southern states and not acted on
by California. The 10 southern
states subsequently ratified it.

State Negro Farm Family Finding
Success After FILA Loan

Maud, Miss, Sept. 18 - The
family of Anthony Hougue, Negro
farmer of Tunica County is find
ing success in farming and rural
life after obtaining loan through
the Farmers Home Administra-
ton.
Anthony Hogue applied for FO
Loan Assistance in 1941. In 1913 he
had paid for his farm in full from
crop and livestock income.
Anthony states that he contri-
butes his success from the oppor-
tunity afforded him by the Farm
ers Home Administration and that
by sound farm and home planning
together with proper supervision,
he was able to obtain the goal as a
farm and home owner. Anthony
also states that he could never
have been a farm owner if it had
not been for the FILA and its as
sistance. Prior to the time of re-
ceiving his initial FO Loan, An
thony Hogue was renter, wher-
ever he was able to rent, and not in
all instances was it desirable land
Since paying for his farm, An
thony has been able to save money
and now has nice bank account
and is able to finance his farming
operation from his own sources. He
is continuously improving his place
and methods of farming and is al

STUDY OF KOREAN COMBAT

REGIMENT aimed AT PUTTING

GENERAL ORDER PRAISING
RECORD STOPS WOULD BE CRITICS
REGIMENT HARD HIT BY CASUALTIES

TOKYO, Sept, 18-(SNS)-In-
spectOrs from Eighth Army head
quarters are checking the combat
record of the famous oath infantry
regimental combat team with
view towards migrating white and
Negro troops in the regiment.
White and Negro officers opin-
ed that the survey will result in
decision on Interrogation of both
Negro and white troops in the unit.
Surprisingly enough the inspec-
ton was ordered because the North
Koreans breakthrough on Sept.
was made through the lines of the
oath regiment. Some officers al
legedly hostile to Negro troops felt
that white soldiers would have
held.
The North Koreans broke
through after bitter, see-saw bat
tie for Battle Mountain" two
miles west of Haman. The oath
regiment captured, lost and then
retook the position about a half
dozen times.
After the Negro troops lost
Battle Mountain" last week, full
white battalion won the position
but was unable to hold onto it.
Several officers some of them top
rank, dispute the theory of the
racists that Deficiencies in the oath
are due to the racial composition of
the unit.
The regiments new commander,
Lit. Col. John T. Corley of Brooklyn
New York made his feelings known
on the matter Tuesday when he

ment shortly after an inspector
