Clio Committee To
Abolish Discrimination
CRITICIZES
NATIONAL
NEGRO COUNCIL

s'The so-calIed National Negro
Council was convened by indivi-
dualS whose political and social
philosophy has been rejected by
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
by the Urban League, by the CLIO
and by all the American people,"
James B. Carey, chairman of the
CIO Committee to Abolish Dis
elimination, said today.
Carey, who is CLIO secretary
treasurer and president of the
CLIO Electrical Workers, criticized
the NNC on two main grounds.
These were (1) that it seeks 'tto
use our fellow American Negroes
to further the foreign policy of
the USSR," and (2) "the CLIO is
opposed to segregated, Jim Crow
organizations Of any sort"
The full text of Mr.. Carey's
statement follows:
s"The Congress of Industrial
Organizations has not endorsed
the So-called National Negro
Council organized last fall by a
group of discredited political op-
p0rtuniStS.
"In the first place, the CLIO is
opposed to segregated, Jim Crow
organizations of any sort.
Secondly, the CLIO will not
support any group like the So
called National Negro Council
which seeks to use our fellow
American Negroes to further the
foreign policy of the USSR. AS
usual, the initial drive of the
Communists is directed at men,
berS of labor organizations.
<'The CLIO has a constructive
program to secure to all our fell
low citizens the economic, politi-
cal and community equality to
which they have a sacred n
democratic right.
SIN the furtherance of this
policy, we work at the national
and local level close cooperation
with the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People and the National Urban
League, both of which are repu-
table American organizations
with long records of accomplish
ment. ,....
"The so-salled National Negro
Council was convened by indivi-
dualS whose political and social
philosophy has been rejected by
the NAACP, by the U b a n
League, by the CLIO, and by all
the American people.
Elm the crusade for peace
through justice, the CLIO will
continue to fight for the civil
rights of all persons, regardless
of race, creed, color or national
origin. We will not permit those
RigheS to be belittled and abused
by fOreign agents who set ur
front organizations to create prop
uganda material for international
Communism"

Arrival Of B0atmen

ties in Key West waters, spoke out
this morning with regard to the
three men who left Key West early
yesterday in an effort to cross the
Florida Straits to Cuba.
The trio, RUDE Allen, Cal Thomas
and Ben FEEDER, members of the
staff of the st. Petersburg Times.
made their trip in an 18-foot out
board-powered launch. When they
left Key West, the men announced
Havana as their destination, and
made arrangements to report their
arrival to persons in Key West.
Since the boat was expected to
make the trip in about six to eight
hours, a report of the arrival was
expected around noon yesterday.
When no report was received,
the Coast Guard authorities began
to make inquiries of friends of the
three men here and of reporters of
The Key West Citizen staff who had
interviewed the men. Inquiry was
also sent to Havana, but no word
of the men had been received

knowing the roughness of the
waters in the Florida Straits, 1t.
Pearson became somewhat con-
cerned over the evident non-arrival
of the boat in Cuba, and he asked
Aerovias @ planes and Navy planes
working in that area to be on the
lookout. Currents in the Straits are
such that if the boat had got out
of control it could have drifted as
much as 81 miles off course in
seven hours.
Finally at 1880 last night, the
Coast Guard here received a re.

concerned, Eldredge looked sur

know there was track at Pen
sacola. After all, / spent only one
afternoon there before leaving for
Philadelphia. / don't even know
what my own home over there
looks like. All ! had time to do
was say goodbye to my wife and

He added that the main thing
he had observed about Pensacola
during his brief stay there was
the weather. ITS very much
hotter than in Key West. We don't
have airconditioning in our home,
and it's a good thing big attic
fans are installed in most quart

Capt. and Mrs. Eldredge and
their six year old son Ned left
Key West in June of this year.
Mrs. Eldredge accompanied her
son to North Carolina where he
enrolled in a camp. Mrs. Eldred-

Hurricane Hunters
Check Caribbean
Disturbance Today

MIAMI Up - Hurricane-hunting
planes were sent out today to look
for a possible tropical storm in
an eaSterly wave reported about
1900 miles southeast of Miami.
Forecaster Walter Davis of the
Miami Weather Bureau said the
wave of low pressure was roughly
450 miles east of the Lesser An
TILES, the string of islands on the
eastern edge Of the Caribbean Sea.
Ships reported winds up to IS
miles an hour in the area Wednes-
day.
Davis said an Air Force plane
from Bermuda was approaching
the area now and a Navy plane
from San Juan, Puerto Rico, was
en- route to make another check
this afternoon.
Easterly waves are wide bands
of squally. rainy weather which
move from east to west across
the Atlantic and the Caribbean.
Hurricanes sometimes develop
from them at this time of year.
The weather summary for the
Tropical Atlantic, Caribbean Sea
and the Eastern Gulf of Mexico
reported the easterly wave this
way:
"A wave Of low pressure east
OF the Lesser Antilles Is being in
vestigated by reconnaissance air
craft for possible existence of a
| tropical storm"
A Navy hurricane hunting plane
also took off from Jacksonville
Fla, for San Juan today to provide
reinforcementS in case the easter.
ly wave develops into a storm.
Davis said that en- route the
plane would check q weak low
pressure area" about 200 miles
east of Nassau, Bahamas.
There's nothing much there but
some showers" Davis said.
