Boz ell. Thirty-five hundred men and women will swing into the camp aign with the early bird breakfast on October 27• They won’t stop their efforts until November 5. What quota is, the workers don’t yet know, but a budget is being de termined by a budget committee, headed by W. H. Smails. The sums to be raised and spent in each division during 1942 can’t, of course, be set now but the chances are that they will approx imate the figures for 1041. The Community Chest has just released a report on Chest oper ations during the first six months of 1941. During that time, 2S-8 percent of the money spent, or $144, 365.00 went to youth servic es—the character building agenc ies of the city. Care of families and aged took 33. percent or $169,989.00 and child care received $80,692.00 or 15 9 percent. The health service received 12.9 percent, or $65,820. and coordinating work of the var ious agencies cost 2.8 percent, or 3*5.00. Administrative cost for Iho entide year is only sU per cent.

The Community Chest has a new related service on the rolls this year with the inclusion of the Uni ted Service Organizations in the Chest program. The USO. was formed nationally to provide recre ation for soldiers and sailors when off duty, and by including it in the Community Chest, the citizens of Omaha are paded a separate summer drive for funds. “We are going to attempt to raise enough money in ithe coming drive,” BozeH said, “to take care of Omaha’s problem of the help less and needy. Also, we want to be able to meet increased demands and emergencies arising fdom the national defense program.” Bozell also pointed out that the campaign will be an all-out chal lenge to the citizens of Omaha to demonstrate their faith in democ racy through direct humanitarian action. 1 ALL JUNE GRADE AND HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES ARE IN VITED TO THE OMAHA GUIDE INSPECTION PARTY, SEPT. 1, 2, 3 FROM 2 PM. TO 6 PM. RE FRESHMENTS SERVED FREE! ! NEGRO WPA WORKERS SHARE IN $130,000,000 WPA AIRPORT DEFENSES Washington, D. C.—The part which Negro workers are taking in the $130,000,000 defense airport program of the Works Project Ad ministration is reflected in em ployment figures issued this week by Alfred Edgar Smith, Sitaff Ad viser of the Federal WPA. In every state except Delaware, an army of 71,000 men was em ployed at the beginning of the current fiscal year on 278 sites certified by the Secretary of War or the Secretary of avy as hav ing military importance. In 11 Southern States, where 97 of the sites are located, there were 11, 000 WjPA Negro workers on airp’rt projects. The estimated complet ed cost of these airport construc tion and improvement projects in the South is $38,366,566 in WPA funds and contributions of the sponsor. For the southern region, Negro wukers in the defense airport pro gram were about 49 percent of the total- They ranged from 80 percent in Louisiana, where a $2,644,941 program Was under way, to 14 percent in Texas, where funds for 15 airport sites reach the $5,000,000 mark. Figures cited by Mr. Smith also reveal that Florida’s 31 airport project sites lead all other States in this type of WPA defense con struction. The 2,750 Negro work ers in Florida were approximately 38 percent of the t°tal number of workers employed at these sites on work to cost $15,000,000. Another large WPA airport con struction program is in Alabama, where 57 percent of the workers CHOP SUEY King Yuen Cafe 2010 Z2 N. 24th St. JAckson 8576 Open from 2 p. m. until 3 a. mi American 4k Chinese Dishes I FAI rT | rcnir {COMMITTEES CEILING ON CEILINGS Rent increases ranging from 20 to 100 percent since October 1939, have been reported in more than 100 defense centers, according to Federal surveys and thousands of letters of complaint received by OPM’s Rent Section. To forestall rent gourging and profiteering at the expense of the national emergency, OPACS has set up “Fair Rent Committees”, composed of local citizens, in communities where abuses are re pirted. To determine a reasonable rent figure, each committee est ablishes a basic “Fair Rent Day” —a date on which local housing coalts had not yet been affected by the boom. Given evidence of profiteering, the committee calls the landlord and cmplainant to a hearing. If the landlord cimplies with the con mittee’s recommendations, no fur ther action is taken. If he rejects them, full publicity is given to his refusal. In addition, by agree ment with OPACS, the Defense Housing Coordination Unit wlill not list at its Home Registration Office any property on which an unfair price has been placed by the landlord. on 12 siftes, valued at $5,743,167 were Negroes. Other employment precentages reported by Mr. Smith for airport construction workers of the race and estimated completed cost of active projects in the Southern States were: Arkansas, 56 percent, $887,046; Georgia, 70.0, $2,641, 729; Missi ssippi, 62.0, $2,520,251; Noijth Car olina, 52.0, $1,979,999; South Car olina, 46j0, $530,492; Tennessee, 27.0, $149,486; and Virginia, 49-2 percent and $1,257,223 the estima ted completed cost. Mr. Smith pointed out th|at for a year after the national defense program got under way, the WPA constantly increased its airport construction and improvement pro gram. Three times as many men were employed on such projects during the last week of June, 1941 as a year before. This was done, hie emphasized, because of the im portance of the work although total WPA employment had been acutely reduced. Many of the 860 airport and landing field sites which the WPA h)as already constructed or improv ed are included among the 278 sites and auxiliary fields. Many others are new fields being con structed on U. S. Army and Navy reservations or, at the request of the armed forces, on civilian sites now regarded as if strategic im portahce. The Civil Aeronautics Adminis tration has been providing funds for non-labor expenditures at a> number of the airports in the ac tive WPA program- It has been announced that the two Federal agencies will continue to cooper ate under the new airport con struction program recently ann ounced by the CAA- This pro gram includes additional improve ments at many of the sites in the current WPA program. “Th)e WPA workers of both rac es who have been employed on airport construction have won the j admiration of officials high inj civilian and miltary aviaton circl es,” Mr. Smith said. ‘‘Despite the drastic cut in appropriations whjich will reduce WPA employ ment during this fiscal year, the number and percentage of WPA. workers on airport construction jobs will remain high because of the importance of this work to our air defense*.” EXTRA!

BRAGG FAILURE TO PUNISH MP’s WHO INSULTED NEGRO SOLDIERS New York—Leveling criticism at Fort Bragg authorities, /the Na tional Association for th(e Advance ment of Colored People drew a parallel between the case of a nor thern white draftee who was sen tenced to 10 years and nine months at hard labor for refusing to clean his quarters, and the case of the military police there who bullied and insulted Negro soldiers and officers after the shooting of a Negro private and a white serg eant August 6th.

Acquittal came from Gen eral Court from which there is no men and white soliders at the camp who had a hand in the round-up, disarming and insulting of Neg roes on the night of August 6, have not been punished. The NAACP stated that if such drastic punishment can be mated out to a soldier for not cleaning his quarters and for “spitting on the floor” Fort Bragg authorities should be made to explain their failure to prosecute the soldiers who swore ait, bullied, and inflicted unnecessary indignities on fellow soldiers and superior officers. Th&s is further evidence, said the Association, that routine army procedure is not satisfactory or sufficient to deal with the condi tions arising from the conflict be tween colored soldiers and prei judiced military and civil authority in the South. SIGNAL CORPS SEEKS TRAINED YOUNG MEN Washington, D. C.—From the War Department the NAACP learned last week that the signal corps is recruiting civilians with certain qualifications for second lieutenants. Applicants must have a college degree in electrical engineering, vrith a specialty in radio commun ication or they must be electonic physicists. They must be unmar ried, with dependents, between the ages of 21 and 35 years and able to meet the physical requirements.1 Applications should be made by letter to the Chief of the signal Corps, Washington, D. C., giving name, address, age, technical qual ifications and experience The NAACP is urging its bran ches to circulate this information in their communities so that qual ified Negroes may apply. MINNESOTA NEGRO DEFENSE COMMITTEE CONTINUES FIGHT FOR EQUALITIES OF NEGROES St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 28 (ANP) Saturday, Aug. 9, saw plans laid for the continuance of the fight to secure full equality for Negroes in Minnesota home defense force by the Minnesota Negro Defense com mettee to contact personnel direct mitee to contact personnel direct tors of local firms with defense contracts, seeking to secure em ployment for Negroes. At the same time, Gov. Harold E. Stas sen received an invitation to speak at a mass meeting given Sunday, August 17, in the Hallie Q. Brown house, on his position in regards to Negroes enlisting in Minnesota’s home defense prog ram. Discussion, held on the mat ter of obtaining jobs in various defense industries, drew several hundred white and Negro citizens of the twin cities. The Minnesota state fair boards attention was directed, in a letter, to acts of discrimination practiced at the state fair last year, where in a Minneapolis minister was ?harged 75 cents for a hamburger at one of the concessions there, informing the board that such would not be tolerated this year.

SCHOOL BOARD RULE Portsmouth, Va.,—Colored and white i.itiz‘ns of Norfolk County, Va., are rp in arms over lie County school board's refusal to reinstate three colored principals and its iet rganization plan which would make Negro principals sub ordinate to white principals in their districts. The scnool board is reported to have received and ignored nearly 200 petitions protesting the oust rs A lm-ss meeting was hed reecnt y at which more than fifty dol lars was collected to back the fight for reinstatement of the three men, James G. Gilliam, B W. Elliot and James A. Overton. Speaking for a delegation of 50 persons who appeared before the school board, Oliver W. Hill of Richmond, NAACP. legal staff n.-Unber, charged the board with initiation a vicious, azi-Fascist J ystem and stated the commun ity’s objection to placing white principals over Negro schools. Public opinion is that the dis missals came as reprisals for the recent campaign to equalize teach er’s salaries in Norfolk County. Those dismissed were leaders of the Norfolk County Teachers As sociation which petitioned for pay equalization last spring. The school board and superintendent were reported to have refused to give any specific reason for the I ousters. In attempting to arrange a pro test demonstration meeting, At torney Hill secured the cooperat ion of the Norfolk police chief, un til Colonel Borland, Norfolk city manager, learned of the plan and put pressure on the police chief to stop the meeting. The meeting was held without the cooperation of the police. MANAGERS ARGUE OVER STAGNG BILL ROBINSON’S “HOT MIKADO” (oy Delores Calvin! New York (C)—“The Hot Mik ado” did so well in Maplewood— (New Jersey) Theatre, as a “come back”, surpassing the Helen Hayes and Maurice Evans’ “Twelfth Night” by $105 that Michael Todd who did it on Broadway, said he was bringing it back to little New York town at a $1-50 top immed iately. But that wasn't the final word Next, John Wilberg, said that he and his partner had control of the rights and if anybody brought it back, especially to Broadway, it would be them. When “Mikado” was having its troubles on Broadway and at the Worlds Fair, Robinson turned part of his salary back to the show and took a h^lf interest in further prof its. He did not, however, acceptt any stock. Nevertheless, he ap parently still holds what amounts to a production interest. But Marty Forkins, Bojangies manager, says that Bo isn’t going to work on Broadway at a $1.50 top for anybody. NATIONAL BODIES BACK NAACP PROBE REQUEST New York—Backing up the NA ACP. request for a civilian-milit ary board to investigate the mil itary police situation in army camps, George Gordon Battle, co chairman of the Council Against Intolerance in America, sent let ters affirming their stand to Pres ident Roosevelt, Secretary of War Stimson, and Brigadier-General William C. Rose. The NAACP request was also endorsed by the Non-Sectarian, Anti-Nazi League whose board of directors chairman, James H. Sheldon, sent a telegram to Gen eral George Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, protesting segregation and the recent race friction in army camps. “A Thing of BEAUTY IS A JOY Forever”—Keats BIG PROFITS Selling Greeting Cards For Every Day in the Year Popular and Religious, Christmas Box Assortments WRITE FOR SAMPLES AMITY CARD CO. .321 West 125th St-, Dept. 4.
