He called attention to the fo' cw ing excerpts from a statemjrt is sued in Washington by Jonathan Daniels, assistant national civil ian defense director.

This in crearse w-'Il begin to Oe felt after midsummer. There simply wili not be enough locomotives and cars, coal, ships and barges, to supply all the needs of the domes tic market after midsummer, if buyers wait to order Coal.

ACCUSES SEVEN, INDICTS THREE, IN SOJOURNER TRUTH RIOT (Continued from page 1) had been executed- The second count charged a “seditious con spiracy to prevent, hinder and de lay execution of any law of the United States.” Maximum penalty on the first count (is $5,000 fine and ten years imprisonment, and on the second count $5,000 fine and six years im prisonment. The men were in dicted for violations of civil rights under Section 51, Title 18, U. S. Code, and under Section 6, Title 38 U. S. Code. The indictment charges that the defendants for Some time prior to February 28, and up to and inciud ing the date of presenting and re turn of the indictment, have caus ed picket lines to be maintained around the housing project for the purpose of preventing occupancy by the tenants; that they have publicly threatened rioting and bloodshed if Negro tenants at tempted to occupy the project; that they have induced other mem bers of the National Workers Lea gue and the Seven Mile Fenelon. Improvemnt Association to engage n picketing the project; and that they have prevented by force, “th< authorjzed agents of the Federal Works Administrator, to wit, Guy C. Larcom an dthe members of the Detroit Housing Commission, from installing said citizens as tenants irf said Sojourner Truth Housing Project, in lawful execu tion” of Federal Statute The indictments by the federal grand jury climaxed twenty-four hours of rapid developments here on the Sojourner Truth situation. On April 15 the federal govern ment instructed the Detroit Hous ing Commission to proceed wifn filling the Sojourner Truth Hous ing Project with Negro occupants. John B. Blandford, Jr., National Housing Administrator wired the Commission placing the respons ibility for effecting tenancy with the Detroit City Government. “Please proceed as soon as feas ibl with the established program for the occupancy of the Sojourn er Truth Project” the telegram said- Commenting on the tele gram Mr. Blandford said: “We are at war. Men of all races and creeds are marching in our armed forces and are at work in our vast war industries. That is the spirit of American democ racy. “By the same token, war work ers and their families must have adequate homes, regardless of race or creed, if the country’s o’it| put of planes, tanks, ships and machines is to grow in sufficient volume to win the war.” The second development was the resignation of Frank D. Eaman, Police Commissioner. Eaman hai been in office about two years. On all sides it was denied that he had resigned because of the Sojourner Truth controversy, but it is sign ificant that the Police Under Com missioner Eaman d’.d as much, if' not more, to prevent Negroes from occupying Sojourner Truth as the so-called white rioters did. It is the opinion 0f Detroiters that the Police department joined with white residents to keep Negroes out of the project. Within a few hours after the federal government announced that Negroes must be moved in, and that Detroit city officials would have the responsibility of carrying out the order, Commis sioner Eaman resigned- It is be said among the Negro population that he is resigning rather than carry 0ut the orders of the federal government. The indictments came as a result of an FBI investigation by the De partment of Justice based upon possible violations of section 51, Title 18, U. S. Code, the so-called civil rights laws. The legal de partment of the NAACP has been urging action by the Department of Justice under Title 18 for a number of years and in 1940 Thur good Marshall, NAACP special counsel, submitted a comprehens ive memorandum t0 the Depart ment of Justice citing cases inv.ilv ing Negroes where he believed the departmnt could act under Sec -tion 51, Title 18. On March 5, a few days after the riot at Sojourner Truth, Wal ter wtijte, NAACP Secretary con ferred with housing officials m Washington and urged FBI action. On March 9, Attorney General Francis Biddle authorized a feder al grand jury investigation and on March 10 Frank H.

I a letter to George F. McCray, director of the Midwest Labor Ser vice bureau, Townsend gave the following reasons for seeking to end five years of existence as an unaffiliated organization: “We are now a strong and well established organization with con tracts with all the important rail roads in the United States and since we are fully aware of tho problems confronting labor an.l ourc ountry under the stress of war and the need to achieve vic tory as quickly as possibly, we want to pool our strength with la bor and management for the com mon good “Moreover,” Townsend stated, “we hope by our example of seek ing organic ties with organized labor, to strengthen the fight to integrate Negro defense workers and all other workers in the labor movement and in the industries of our nation.” Final disposition of the question of affiliation with CIO will be made at the UTSEA convention in Cincinnati, May 17-19.
