officers rests around their unwillingness to
offend white folks by permitting general
knowledge among the Negro people as to
their plans. In other words, what the Negro
park commissioners should do is to permit
the people to become informed as to what
their plans are and what resources are exist
ent for the prosecution of the plans. BY the
same token, Negro park members should let
the people know whether they are getting the
cooperation of the city government. It may be
assumed that the city government is not pro-
viding an equitable distribution of the revenue
allocaed for public parks and Fairgrounds for
Negro citizens Certainly, if the equity in
wolves the greater need, surely more money
would be forthcoming for the establishment of
at least ONE NEGRO PARK IN THE COM
MUNTTY. HOWEVER, it is not beyond ex
pectation that ALL PARKS WILL SOON BE
OPENED TO ALL PEOPLE WHERE THEY
ARE MAINTAINED OUT OF PUBLIC MON
IESi
Another winter shall not pass without a place
for recreation for Negro youths in Pine Bluff
The white folks maintain the Merrill comnun-
ity center where taxpayers monies are used
to provide facilities for white boys. This place
must be opened to all boys or the white folks
ought build the Negro boys place to play.
The critics of tactics suggested here must an
swer by POSITIVE ACTION. There are enough
hypocrites and "pussyfooters' in the world
without the whole of Gods children Joining
the ranks. Somebody must stay on the high
road; somebody will stay on the low road; but
we will get the park ONE DAY!
Pressure Groups, a definition given by sue
cessful candidate for office when the same
group that got him in, asks him to do some
thing for him. So, recently when an organized
group of at least community interest virtue
made request, the first squawk from the Pc
titioned official was to the effect that he would
not be pressured into anything. Well, we know
that such wild thinking does not come from
a seasoned politician for when did it become
unreasonable that the PEOPLE MAY NOT
PETITION THEIR GOVERNMENT FOR RE-
DRESS OF THEIR GRIEVANCES. Anytime
Negro files petition the political office
holder calls it PRESSURE! Well, it reasonably
and seasonable follows that YOU MUST PAY
YOUR POLL TAX! The groups of Negroes in
whatever realm or name during a campaign
are accorded a degre of responsibility but
when II is over and the votes are counted they
must resume the role of PRESSURE OUT
FIT! God, HELPING SUCH MEN WILL
LEARN; and such groups will be given full
recognition in this never dying struggle for
full citizenship rights and respect for the full
dignity of man.

The Pine Bluff Negro Park Commission is re-
ported as having announced plans for the con-
struction of field house at the Townsend
park. The announcement is reported through
Pine Bluffs only daily newspaper. Immediate
~ following such announcement the same daily
reported the plans of the Pine Bluff white
park commission for the establishment of
park in the southwestern part of the city, A
r1cture of the proposed park was run along
with many words describing the need for ade-

yan IN that area. The white park commission

S1e6se cards are being distributed by Negro
fsAsx commissioners to citizens for aid in the
ess1rt to build field house. Negro citizens are
@rgssd to support the movement while at the

Any Christian knows and believes that scare
cation is evil and that God ought not permit
entry into the Kingdom those who practice
racial determination. Under existing law seq
regation is declared legal. The declaration is
based upon the assumption that the separate
facilities MUST BE EQUAL! Then, when Ne
gro members of the park commission fail to
push for greater opportunities and facilities
for Negro children and citizens in the Pine
Bull community, they are rendering a dis
service to their own families and their neigh
bcrs in the Pine Bluff community. There is no
need to sympathize with the white folks who
have instituted sinful system whereby OPP

according to the race or color of citizen. It

last September, they have been
quietly visiting the leading pro-
ducers in the small-arms, aircraft,
tank and other industries in
Europe. In each country they
have looked into the production
problems of a selection of the
most important factories. And
they have drawn important con-
clusions about how much more
could be done by each factory
if there were the will to do it and
"a green light" to 60 full-out for
maximum production.
Fodder for Board
These conclusions will be grist
for the mill of the new Atlantic
Defense Production Board. The
board, set up at the Brussels Con-
ference, is only now beginning to
get into It's stride. The Ameri-
cans have big ideas for it. They
hoped. by appointing as their
member. William Bait, head of the
British Marshall Plan mission, to
set an example which other NATO
members would follow. so that
the board would be made up of
really top-level men. In this they
have been disappointed; many
countries have simply promoted
their man on the old Military
Supply and Resources Board.

But the Americans still hope
the Defense Production Board can
be spark plug" for European
defense programs. spurring men,
bers on to greater efforts. In
their view its job will be not only
to increase arms output, but to
get Europe to pool its resources so
that the arms are produced most
economically and with least harm
to civilian consumption. 1t may
be hard sometimes to get coun-
tries to agree to a division of labor
OF this kind-to agree to place
orders for. say. radio equipment
or other specialized materials with
foreign factories. It is not only
national pride, in many cases.
Quite reasonably. they may fear
that their own home industry,
starved of defense orders 1t had
counted on, will wither away,
leaving the country permanently
dependent on foreign imports not
only for the army but for the
home markets as we'll. There may
also be political complications in
volved.
Another task which the board is
beginning to tackle is the co-ordi-
nation of requests from European
members of NATO for American
raw materials or Semifinished
goods for their defense programs

Allied Industry Is Running Far Under Capacity

LONDON.-Confdential reports
now before the 12-nation At
lantic Defense Production Board
here show that Europe could pro-
duce a good deal of its new defense
programs without cutting into
civilian supplies. They prove,
with actual examples, that in
every European country there is
a tremendous amount of slack in
industry-unused capacity that
with more efficient use of plant
and manpower, could be made to
produce much more.
Nothing like these reports has
ever been made before. They are
unbiased-and they are thorough.
Not quite the same as some Gov
ernment official filling in ques-
tionnaire for OEEC," said an
American working for the Atlantic
treaty organization.
They represent an impartial in
vestigation over the past three
months by eight or nine small
international groups of experts in
industrial production. Five or six

knowledge and practical expert

defense industry. They were not
civil servants and were not acting
for governments. although of each
group one was usually American,
one British and one French. Since

What they must try to avoid Is q
desperate scramble by a number
of individual governments to push
their claims ahead of every one
else. This would lead only tc
hopeless confusion and bottle
necks which would do no one any
good. In some cases there is al
ready danger of this happening
and the board will have to gel
down to work quickly if it is tc
make a good job of coordination
Hope for the Best
The board itself will be the

and the new ideas for pooling re-

Britain broke the secrecy seal
yesterday on a four-year-old re-
port by Earl Mountbatten that
high brass organizational quirks
rivaled malaria and the Japanese
in hampering l943-1945 Burma
operations in World War II.
The report, published by the
government. was drafted by the
Earl in 1947 and directed to the
Allied Combined Chiefs of Staff
Mountbatten was supreme Allied
commander in the Burma theater
from November, 1943. to May,
1916.
Stilwell a Problem
The report indicated that, until
the May. 1945. collapse of Hitler's
Reich raised it's status one notch,
Burma starved for men and equip
ment as third-rank theater of
war. In the queue for Allied war
material it stood behind Europe
and the Pacific.
But, according. to Mountbatten,
the major bugbear in his efforts to
flush the japanese out of Burma S
jungleS and gorges was the fact
that a poorly defined command
layout often had his high brass
working at cross purposes"
Mountbatten's toughest nut ap-
parently was the status of his
deputy commander, the late Gen,
Joseph w. (Vinegar Joe) Stilwell
LAS deputy supreme Allied COM
mander." his report noted, LIT.
Gen. Stilwell's allegiance was to

were submitted about the employ

1t. Gen. Stilwell had either to re.
main silent or oppose the policy
of one or the other of his SUI
periors."
The report observed that Wine
gar Joe" also was lend-lease ad-
ministrator for China.
Mountbatten noted:
II had pointed out to the Presi-
dent (Franklin D. Roosevelt) al
Quebec the anomaly of these mul-
tiple and possible conflicting ap-
pointments, but he had replied
that it was his strong personal
wish that the closest liaisor
should be maintained between the
China and Southeast Asia thea
terS and that he considered this
could best be done by appointing

sldered it his duty to send his

Mountbatten had to step in per-
sonally. according to the report
when Vinegar Joe" came to log
gerheads with Maj. Gen. w. D. A.
Lentaigne, commanding a special
Indian force. The report said
Stilwell complained that units OF
the force disobeyed his order to
start an advance. He wanted 1t
removed from his command.
In an official investigation Len
taigne argued that the troops had
been overtaxed. An investigating
general found the force "had in
fact been ordered to undertake
tasks for which 1t was no longer
fit."
Since relations between Stilwell
and Lentaigne were obviously
strained" Mountbatten said, 81
decided to thresh out this matter
with them personally and met
them both at their headquarters

his duties as correctly as their
conflicting interests allowed. But
it is clear that any arrangement
by which a commander in one
sheater simultaneously holds high
appointment in another cannot
fail to place him in an invidious
position in which divided loyalty
is almost inevitable"
For the future" Mountbatten
said, Il would most strongly rec

which there is only one channel
along which recommendations

According to the report, Mount
batten and Vinegar Joe" split on
the best way for Allied forces to
open way to some port on the
China coast. Stilwell wanted it
done via North Burma and China s
Pynnan area; Mountbatten wanted
the movement to be through
Sumatra and Malaga to the south
