Dirk sen, Republican, of Illinois, dur ing the debate on the bill April 19, 1939. Congressional Record The C-ongressonal Record re ports as follows: MR. DIRKSEN: Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment, which I send to the Clerk’s desk. The Clerk read as follows: "Amendment offered by Mr. Dirk sen: Page 2, line 4, strike out the period, insert a colon, and the fol lowing: Provided, that in the adminis tration of this act none of the benefits of training or programs shall be denied on account of race creed or color.” _i>n >«" — I Mr. Dlrksen addressed the House and said: “Mr. Chairman, the purpose of the amendment is very simple, indeed. It seeks only to prevenlt discrimination in the administration of this act in or der to make possible the bene fits of this training and these programs to the Negroes of the United States. “The House and the Senate wrote into the Auxiliary Defense Act, which was approved by the President on the 3rd of April, 1939, a provision to the effect that there would be no discrimin ation and that all the benefits of a civilian training program should jnade available to Negroes as well. 1 ~ Negro Soldiers Have Fought In All Wars of the Republic “That is the purpose of the amendment which I have offered and I certainly hope there will be no objection. The National De fense idea has been emphasized at great length here this afternoon May I advise the Members of the House that the Negro citizen ry of the country is moved by the same patriotic ardor and is possessed of the same aptitude in any field of National Defense as anyone else. “Negro soldiers fought with General Braddock in 1775. There were three or four thousand Ne groes in the Revolutionary Army. “There were Negro soldiers in the W»r of 1812 and 17 Negroes' received the Congressional Medal of Honor in the War of 1861. “They made a splendid record I in the Spanish American War and in the World War. The Eighth Illinois Infantry did yeoman ser vice in the Spanish American War of 1898 and was command ed by a Negno colonel by the name of John Marshall. "There are today over 350 ci vilian pilots in the United States of America. Let no one say that the Negro has not an aptitude for flying the same as the mem hers of any other race. Assails Discrimiation “In view of the fact that they constitute a very integral por tion of the population of this j country, certainly the Congress does not want to discriminate against them. We have written in anti-discriminatory provisions in other enactments heretofore, in. eluding the Works Progress Ad 1 ministration Act, and the Nation al Defense Act which was signed 4>y the President of the 3rd oi April, 1939. t “Certainly this House, without a dissenting vote, ought to make sure that there will be do discri mination with respect to the pro gram which is to be set up by the pending bill. “Mr. Chairman, I hope my rmendment. will be agreed to.

This is immediately apparent upon observing the reactions and conversations of hundreds of peo plo who rush to the news stands throughout the day seeking ‘news’ about the war of England and France with Nazi Germany. Discussing the progress of the war one of a group of workers at 1.26th St and I^nox Ave. made the following comment: “It’s the biggest bluff that has ever been put over on the public. Can you imagine uch ‘fighting’? If I declare war against my ene my, do you think I would send planes to drop leaflets instead of bombs ? “I’ll bet my socks that England and France are secretly working for another Munich. They do not intend to fight for Poland.” Commenting on the Soviet non aggression pact with Nazi Ger many, the speaker said: “Russia knows the intentions of Britain and France and all the ether countries. They would like to see her wiped off the face of the earth because they’re afraid of Communism.” A copper, standing on the same corner, said: “Chamberlain should pet it in the neck for his treacher ous policy.” On Fifth Ave. and 125 St., fout young WPA employes, ranging in age from 19 to 26, expressed the opinion that Chamberlain was up to some new trick of getting A merica involved in the war. On. of them said: “England and France could have stopped Mussolini in Ethiopia. They could have stopped Hitler in Czechoslovakia and Austria— they can still stop him in Poland if they want to. "It they had not sold all those countries down the river, there would be no ar today. England and France slipped up on getting Russia to fight for them and now they’re trying to drag America in.” Another one of the group chim ed in: “The whole thing looks fishy anyhow. Poland is getting a ter rible beating and they’re still talk ing about helping her. That’s alright, but I wonder when?” “It’s the funniest war Ihre ever seen,” said a storekeeper and news dealer on 120th St. and Len ox Ave. “The radios and newspapers tell you that Britain and France have bombed this place and that place that they have made ‘contact’ here and there with the German army. But then they turn around and tell you that it was a false alarm. You just can’t figure the damn thing out—and L don’t try. If I did, I’d soon be in Bellevue under observation. But one thing, America has no business over there pulling the chestnuts out of the fire for England and France FRAULEIN BECOMES A LINGUIST By ANN JOYCE I She asked to he called just Fran lain, so that was how she was knowi in the family—this new nursemaid <* ours. I nfortunatcly, her employers di< not understand her language, thougl they did appreciate her effective hao dling of their troublesome offspring I< rauieln’s English vocabulary wai limited to a few slock phrases, buf she did appreciate a good home in a strange land, even though her wagei Were not excessive. So Frauleii stayed. “You, Jackie,” she would command the young hopeful of the family “come here to vonst!” And Juckit would cc ne when a mild request ir good I* ngllsh would have no effect 01 his stubborn little spirit. “Good, Fraulein,” her mistress said to her one day as she observed hel poring intently over a book. “I am Clad to see you are studying English.” J raulein shook her head violently. “No,” she replied, “not English - French. I become—vat you cull him} Yah, von linguist.” I' raulein had discovered that her mistress knew a smattering of French ns well as considerable Engli. h, and she rose to the occasion. English she would learn naturally while living vYo Engli, li-gpeukirg people, but II rcnch w.iuld he (litlicult alone. Why not combine desire with opportunity? After Fraulein had been with the fam jy a few months her conversation wes a remarkable combination of lan guages, It was seldom that she could | not ire.be herself understood by a deft intermingling of them all. HGt Siclv, Madame?” she would in quire if her mistress put her hand to her head. “No? Fatigue? Yuh, der petite frau vns bad fatigue.” f ruulrin s mi ,tress must have been nn unusually good-natured “frnu” or she could not have put up with her nursemaid's efforts. Even so, there were times when she would go into gales of laughter which Fraulein only partly understood. 1 hough i‘ rnulein's wages were not large, she was treated wnh more than ’ u.-uai consideration while learning to spenlc English after a fashion. She W'as devoted to Jack and lie to her, and all seemed well when one day she brought n newspaper advertisement under the "Help Wanted" column to her mistress. “Write,” she requested. “Write jH»nr m#\ I dig rteak Jing lish, French and German. Wages fif teen dollars a week.” Hut, Fraulein,” she argued, “you cannot speak good Knglish yet. Stud^ Englhj, -- 4*0, replied Pfaulein firmly. "I parley French. Spreclirn Deutch. Speak der I'.nglisli. Oul, I bin vat you cull him—von linguist. Sol I take der place. I love mine Jackie, hut fifteen dollar! Jackie must oilier Fraulein get. So!” Jack s mother sighed, for her son w-as what is known as an "enfant ter rible, and there had been a succes sion of attendants before Fraulein. Hut she wrote the letter for her maid and said a good word for her honesty 1 and willingness. In an incredibly I short space of time she found her- • self without her Fraulein. I Jack stormed and refused to be comforted. He also refused to be have himself. For the next few days , there were two nursemaids most of ' the time—one coining and one going. I One day of Jack’s society made them . conclude that the place was too diffi cult. It was a week after Fraulein’s de parture that Jack's mother was sit ting in despair, trying in vain to rea son with her small son, when the tele phone hell jangled violently. “Yes,” she responded wearily, feel ing sure that it was only another nurse wanting to come today as bad as she would want to go tomorrow, but instead a familiar voice replied. “Gud day, Madame, dis is Fruulein. How is der petit Jackie? I have vat you call der homesickness— heiinway —to sec der klein garcon. No, I not stay dis place. I desire return a la Jackie, Madaine. Dis frau has not vat you call ’predation of me—a linguist. Oui, she laugh, den she get mad. She say to me, ‘Go.’ I return to der gud frau itnd tier petit Jackie. So I say now, ‘Auf Wiedersehn,’ Madame.” Jack was in a grand tantrum when , Fraulein returned, and (lis mother was at her wits’ end. **•'— n»r-. t( lH*> Jackie,’’ began Fraulein, ‘come to Fraulein, naughty garcon. Fraulein leave Jackie again? No? Den Jackie von gud petit must be. So! ’ evidently understood, and It was with great relief that his mother saw theta go off hand in hand, and with much gratitude she pondered over Frauleta’s late mistress’ lack of “PM«i»tto|i of Ipc “Upgui&t.” Adult CU ir School Opens The Adult Choir school opens Wednesday Evening, October 4th at the YWCA.
