INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 25.-In-
dianas Junior United States SEN
ator calls his coup which makes
possible the opening of welfare
rolls to public inspection "the1
peoples greatest victory over Fed
eral bureaucracy in 20 years.
Senator William E. Jenner is a
Republican with a sharp tongue
when he starts on the subject of
Federal bureaucracy" It was he
who maneuvered into the big tax
bill rider giving States the right
to let the public look at lists of
persons on public welfare.
This is the first time the New
Deal has been given a good swift
kick in the teeth" Senator Jenner
said in an interview.
1.-THE bureaucrats fought it un-
It'll hell wouldn't have it, but they
were repulsed in what was pri-.
marily a battle of States rights.
It marked the first time in 20
years that the trend toward big
government in Washington has
been reversed.
Dictator" Tactics Hit.
"It was the first victory in
bringing government back to the
people from Washington, where a
bureaucrat, not elected by the
people, has been able to set him
self up as dictator and tell the
people what to do"
| The Jenner rider got Indiana
out of a dilemma created when
another native Hoosier, Oscar
Ewing, Federal Security Admins
traitor. Topped off the, Federal aid
that had been going to the State
in meeting public welfare expense.
/ Mr.. Ewing did so on the
ground that a law passed by the
1851 Indiana legislature conf1icted
with the Federal Social Security
Law banning publicizing of well
fare rolls.
With Indiana cut off from $40
million annually in Federal aid,

Truman Will Not Quit
Fight for Civil Rights
Program, Tobin Says

Labor Secretary Tobin today
declared that President Truman
was mot going to quit" in his
fight to get his civil rights pro-
gram translated into reality.
Mr.. Tobin made the declara-
ton as he addressed the 10th an
nual convention of the National
Council of Negro Women, now
under way at the departmental
auditorium. The four-day meet
ing opened yesterday.
Mr.. Tobin said:
"The progress of the Negro dur
ing the last decade has been in.
spring. But that progress must
not serve as an excuse for any
of us to rest on our oars. The
Nation still needs the great civil
rights program that was proposed
by President Truman and the
struggle must go on to translate
that program into reality.
Cites Armed Forces.
Il know the President is moi
going to quit on this issue. He's
not the kind of a man who quits
He's a fighter. He'll see this
thing through"
In tracing the gains made by
the Negroes of the United States
in the last 10 years, Mr.. Tobir
pointed to the armed forces rec
ord on segregation.
| THE Navy has abolished segre-
cation entirely" he said. "The
Air Force is in the process o1
dismembering its last segregated
units. And the Army, where the
problem is greater, has been
breaking up segregated units and
Elntegrating their members at a
rate of speed that few would have
believed possible"
Regiment Dismembered.
| Mr.. Tobin pointed out that this
program had caused the dismem-
berment of the gallant oath In
Ifantry Regiment" at the front ir
Korea. This regiment of Negro
troops was organized 81 years ago
| THE oath had been a magnifi.
cent asset to this country's mill
Itary might" he declared. But il
also had been a symbol of a segre-
gated Army. And as such it haC

| Mr.. Tobin also said that the
number of Negro Federal employees
was approximately 800 per cent
! greater than it was in 1910.

Low Morale Charqed
Among Marines al
Three Bases in u. ).
BY the Associeted Press

A Senate Armed Services sub
committee reported today it had
found dissatisfaction and low
morale among Marines-particu-
larly recently recalled Reservists-
at three bases.
This was discouraging in view
of the long history of high morale
and esprit de corps of the Ma
rines," the group said.
The three bases are El Toro
and Camp Pendleton in California
and Camp LIE Jeune in North
Carolina.
The subcommittee criticized the
Navy and Marine Corps for what
it called lavish use of men and
money. in report which also
covered conditions at the Marine
Corps Air Station, Quantico, Va:
the Navy's amphibious base at
Little Greek near Norfolk. Va. and
the Navy's submarine base, New
London, Conn.
Marine Leader Silent.
At Camp LIE Jeune, Brig. Gen.
William S. Fellers, the acting
camp commander. said he would
have no comment on the con-
gressional report.
At Little Creek, Read Admiral
A. j. Wellings, commander of the
base, said mo comment" when
asked about the report.
At the Pentagon, a Marine
spokesman said:
"The Marine Corps is studying
the report of the preparedness
subcommittee with view of taxi
ing corrective action where indi-
Gated"
The subcommittee. headed by
Senator Johnson. Democrat. of
Texas. was set up shortly after
fighting broke out in Korea to-
keep an eye on the mobilization
program. This was its 31st re-
port; others have dealt with
wide variety of mobilization prob
lens.
In general the latest report
praised the food, clothing sup
plies instruction, medical care,
housing and recreation facilities at
the six training centers. But the
subcommittee was critical of what
it called a lack of cost conscious
ness" among officers at the six
centerS.
Golf Course Duty.
AS an example of low morale
and waste of manpower, the re-
port cited staff sergeant. an in
active reservlst recalled to duty, |
whose full time job at El Toro is
to issue equipment at a golf
course.
1T would be impossible to con-
vince this man that he was really
needed and that there was suf-
f1cient cause to recall him to active
duty" the report said.
The subcommittee said its inves-
t4SoGOIo 4Ido lOQIld Glldt uldIlS
reserves were being used in jobs
which certainly ought not to have
justified asking a man to once
again break up his home, family
and career-when other men who
have not served at all were avail
able"
The dissatisfaction at the
three Marine bases has arisen
primarily from the fact that the
unexpected outbreak of hostilities
In Korea required the very rapid
rehabilitation of men in the re-
serves" the report said. q
Undoubtedly. the necessity for
rapid rehabilitation came from
our earlier rapid demobilization.
For that Rehabilitation all of 1
