ing.

Negroes Give Cold

Propaganda Here

Washington - (ANP) 49, The
House on Un-American Activities
last week praised the loyalty and
integrity of the $4,000 900 Negro
citizens in the United States.
The comment was made in a
special report released by the COM
mittee Wednesday, and was based
upon the failure of communists 10

to their party,
The report stated that the Reds
had infiltrated this minority group
with the ultimate aim of control.
ling it, but had had little success
in its high priority goal of sub
verting the Negroes to its owl
ends.
In pointing out that communist
have been the greatest deter
rent" to the cause of the coloret
people, the committee reported
that:
The communists have been a
droit at exploiting social prob
lens TO confuse rather than cor
rect inequities and injustices. II
no instance Is this fact more clear
ly exemplified than in the Com
munists efforts to exploit racia
problems in the United States.
The report went on to state tha'
according to testimony and re
cords, the Communist party ha.
been the greatest deterrent t.
the recognition and resolution o
the legitimate aspirations of tn
American Negro"
Therefore the party has don,
much to negate the efforts Of sin
cere students and workers wht
have tried genuinely to cope will
social and economic problems II
this field.
The report outlined the effort!
which the communists had mad
to promote an independent Negrt
nation in the Black belt of 10'
counties in the Southern States.
1t further reported that tn
communist party sought to dis
suade Negroes from answering
draft calls during the time OF tn
Hitler-Stalin Pact.
II charged the party with dis
suading the Negroes to give bloo'
to the Red Cross because the bloo'
was being segregated.
It recalled that in August, 1874
when Negro Army workers wer
facing court martial for refusing
TO load ammunition ships after
big explosion at Port Chicago
California, Negro communis
asked his party to give some he'll

What is more important

Humphrey To Fight
For Federal FEPC

Washington. CAMP -- Senator
Hubert Humphrey Cd, Mimi said
here last week that he will wage
a vigorous fight in the new con-
gress for a federal law against
racial discrimination in employ
ment in major industries,
The bill, according to the sena-
tor, will propose a set of standards
to compel about 10000 of the larg-
er manufacturing and processing
industries to comply with a code
of equal hiring opportunities.
1t will be roughly similar to one
he once introduced in Congress
and would establish a federal COM
mission instructed TO seek COM
piance through negotiation, but
with authority to apply for fed
eral court orders where necessary.
Violations then would be punish
able as contempt of court.
Humphrey asserted the bill will
propose that enforcement in states
which have their own FEPC laws
would be left with state officials.
The Senator also plans 10 in
troduce a companion bill to create
a Civil Rights Commission, whose
function would be to discourage
discrimination for reasons of race.
creed or religion. He said the
commission would serve mainly as
a consultant to state and local
government. but would have au-
thority to require compliance with
anti-discrimination rules by firms
doing business with the govern
ment.
Declining TO predict the future
of either measure, Humphrey said
he expects growing support for
them.
