ARMY WANTS
10000 WACS

WASHINGTON - (ANP) -
The army has plans for trying to
get more women recruits into the
WAC, to take over jobs which are
keeping CPS from the battle
fronts and training field, it was
learned here last week.
The army wants a total of 3d.
900 women and is attempting to
get them through an intensified
recruiting program. Under law,
the WAC contingent of the army
is limited to two percent of the
total strength, but the secretary
of defense is seeking to have con-
gress to lift the limitation.
Negro WACs are serving in
Europe, both in France and in
Germany. There are none on duty
in Washington.

Recommendation
Adopted For
Legislature

SANFORD, Fla. - History was
made here on March oath, when
the Progressive Voters League
OF Florida held a one-dav session
in the court room of the Seminole
County Court House. Oldtimers
declare this was the first time
since Reconstruction Days that
any Negro political organization
has been permitted to hold such
a meeting in a county court house
in Florida. This of itself is strong
evidence of the political progress
being made by Negro citizens of
the Sunshine State. 1t also is an
indication of the healthy political
influence being exerted in behalf
of Negro citizens by the Progress
Sive Voters League. Local ar
rangements were in the hands of
Rev. John Gray, president of the
Sanford Unit.
Beginning at HAS am, the
League held a brief business ses-
sion, with President F. A. Dunn
presiding. Then at 2:15 pm. dele
gates reassembled in the court
room for the Legislative clinic %
Principal speakers at this session
were ]. P. Whitney, director of
the Sanford Chamber of Com
merce, and DR.. Sam Moorer, as
siStant director of instruction in
the State Department of Educa-
ton, Tallahassee. Other interest
ing talks on legislative issues were
made by Harry T. Moore, execu-
tive secretary of the State League;
E. E. Broughton, Tampa; Rev. w.
j. H. Black, president of the
NAACP State Conference; Mary
Farmer, senior at Bethune-Cook
man College; Nick Ford, Cocoa;
John Gilbert, Barlow; A. L. James
and Timothy Wilson, Sanford and
Mrs. Marta James, Orlando.
Among the legislative measures
which the League voted to sup
port are (1 the full appropria-
ton of 100 million dollars for
public schools, (2) a constitution
al amendment to earmark auto
tag money for the building pro-
gram of public schools, 81 state
law to require all counties to pay
teachers equal salaries solely on
the basis of training and expert
ence, az state anti-lynching
law, (5) measures to outlaw the
Ku Klux Khan, and co. law to
make cities liable for any police
brutality practiced by their Of
ficers. The League also voiced
strong opposition to any proposals
requiring a literacy test for pro-
spective voters, and it recon-
mended the immediate opening of
the new home for delinquent Ne
gro girls near Ocala.
The election of E. K. Bass OF
Live Oak as End vice president
was the only change in officers.
New Board members elected are
Rev. John Gray, Sanford; Daniel
Hill, Lake Wales; and James D
Robert, Jr., Key West.

THE SPECTATOR
BY ELLIOTT }. PIEZE

LOCAL SCHOOLS SCORED
BY C. OF C. WOMEN
Very serious charges were made
Wednesday by a committee from
the Women's Division of the MI
ami Chamber of Commerce on
the local school situation, with
special mention on the ability OF
numerous graduates from our va
rious local high schools. Among
other things the committee told
the board of public instruction
that "Dade County schools are
turning out graduates with high
school diplomas who can't even
pass the simplest spelling or
arithmetic tests" Blame for this
deplorable condition must be
shared by disinterested parents,
teachers who put nothing into the
class but textbook training and
equally disinterested business
men who contribute nothing but
money.
These are very serious charges
charges that should command
the attention of the entire COM
munity. For long time numer-
Gus examples of such conditions
locally have been called to my
attention by people in position to
know. All had been hoping for
improvements as time marched
on but evidentaly the condition is
getting worse instead of improv-
ing.
Every conscientious person
who live in this country should
do what ever is in his power to
help correct this alarming condi-
ton. The lead should be taken
by those organizations working in
direct cooperation with the
schools and they in turn should
be supported by all other civic
and community minded organiza-
tons in this community. We want
graduates, but we want them
prepared before they graduate
More about this later.

Britain's Rail Chief
Says He Is Impressed
With American Roads
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, May 1s.-John
Elliott. who heads Great Britain's
state-owned railroad system, said
today the freight traffic handled
by United States railroads was
most impressive"
He has just completed a 5000
mile inspection trip Of several
leading railroad systems here.
Any one viewing the immense
loads carried by rail in the Pitts
burgh and Chicago areas, MIR.
Elliott said, can see where this
country would be without its rail-
roads"
Three Developments Noted.
Mr. Elliott took over the top
position in British railways last
February l when he succeeded
Sir Eustace Missenden as chair
man of the Railway Executive.
Three developments on United
States railroads especially i'm
pressed him on his trip, Mr.. FL
lliott said in an interview. They
are:
The enormous transformation"
brought about by application Of
diesel power.
Real improvement in the main
tenance of way. which he said was
"as good as any in the world"
The large number of new freight
cars on the lines he visited.
Sees Presidents of Roads.
The British rail leader arrived
here May 7 to discuss problems
of management with presidents Of
some American roads, including
Gustav Metzman. New York Gen.
Itral; Walter S. Franklin. Pennsyl-
vania Railroad; Roy White, Bal
timore g. Ohio. and Fred G.
Gurley. Atchison. Topeka g. Santa
Fe.
Their solutions to some Of the
problems. such as decentralization
OF authority. are very much the
same as those we have applied in
our operations" Mr.. Elliott
reported.

From Previous Week
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 18.-Retail

Wednesday was up slightly from
the previous week, helped by pro-
motions in many lines and IN
much of the Nation. Dun & Brad
street reported today.
Aggregate dollar volume of con-
sumer spending was about steady
the business reporting agency
said. and compared with a year
ago was somewhat increased.
Generally warm weather. Moth.
er's Day. and widespread promo
tions combined to raise consumer
apparel sales, with summer dress
es. accessories, hosiery and mil
Ilinery favored, the agency said.
Food buying was about steady
compared with the previous week,
and while overall dollar volume
was well above the year-ago
level, there continued to be scat
tered resistance to many high
priced items of both fresh meat
and canned products. Dun &
FBradstreet said.
/ Dollar volume in house furnish
ings held about even with the
previous week despite numerous
promotions. Furniture and floor
coverings were favored by shop
pers. but interest in appliances
and draperies was limited in many
communities.
Total retail dollar volume in
the week ended Wednesday was
estimated to be from / per cent
to S per cent above a year ago.
the review said. Regional esti-
mates varied from levels of year
ago by these percentages: New
