Three “big-gun” stars. Robert Taylor,

terrific action sequences with all the

Walter Brennan, as one of the enlisted

patriotic seasoning to the story!
Kenneth Spencer, whom you will see
first in “Cabin in the Sky”, MGM’s
all-colomd musical, starring Ethel
Waters, Eddie “Rochester" Anderson,
and Lena Home, has snagged a neat role
in a forthcoming reel-life action picture.
It’s titled, “Bataan Patrol”. Humbly

importance of such a case is fur

| NO CHANGE IN FEPC
ROOSEVELT SAYS
(continued from page 1)
other, that Chairman McNutt is
reorganizing the entire manpower
set-up an dis relying strongly on
on decisions and recommendations
made by the Committee on all
questions ]>ertaining to the Negro
es.
“The President directs me to tell
you, therefore, that under the ex
isting circumstances, he sees no
necessity for the change as rec
ommended by the resolution of your
Board.”
Acknowledging this communicat
ion, the NAACP further pointed
out that there is very considerable!
scepticism among not only Negroes
generally, but other minorities as;
Splat C-J.TJ
trol thQ^MMjpTr in t®Bse rpgiOrfiS
of the Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice. Another situation
giving rise to apprehension is the
fact that only Northern or border
cities are included in those where
the FEPC will conduct hearings
based on investigations of discrim
ination the NAACP said. Since the
majority of Negroes live in the
South, it is there that discriminat
ion .particularly with respect to
the use of Negroes in skilled and
semi-skilled capacities, as well as
in the matter of training and up
grading, is most deep-rooted and
widespread. The NAACP express
ed its hope that the brazen revolt
of certain southern governo.-s,
members of the Congress, newspa
pers and employers’ association a
gainst the Federal governments’ in
sistence that discrimination in war
industries on account of race, creed
color or national origin be abolish
ed. would not deter the War Man!
pwer Commissioner from continu- j
ing a forthright campaign against
discrimination in the South, nor
impede the efforts of the Fair Era j
ployment Practice Committee to un
earth and eliminate such discrimin
ation.”

New York.... Assailing the pro
posal of Tom Ray, Executive secre
tary of Local T-- Boilermakers Un
ion AFL. to institute a Jim Crow
union for Negro workers in crat't3
under union jurisdiction in Kaiser
Shipyards, the National Associat
ion for the Advancement of Colored
People, this week protested Ray’s
plan to William Green, AF of L
president, the War Manpower Com
missioner, the U. S. Martime Com
mission ,the War Production Board
and tho Fair Employment Practice
Committee.
In a telegram to Green the NA
ACP stated that the "Issue has now

a jitney fuehrer filled with racial'
prejudice like Ray is going to con
trol the employment practices of
the Federal government or wheth

ABLE TO CHOOSE
SERVICE BRANCH
New York—Urging that Negro A
mericans be accorded the right to
share fully in the duties and res
ponsibilies of the war crisis, the
National Association for the Adv
ancement of Colored People ad
dressed this week to Paul McNutt
director of the War Manpower
Commission a group of questions
bearing upon thee ffective utiliz
ation of Negro manpower and worn
anpower in the armed forces and
in industry.
The NAACP. reminded McNutt
of his recent statement that drafted
men would be allowed to state
their preference concerning the
branch of the Army, Navy, Marine
or Coast Guard in which they wish
ed to serve since the Selective Ser
vice System has been placed und
er WMC. and will be administered
through the WMC Chairman. The
NAACP. asked if this Statement
meant that the preference of draft
ees to serve in the Navy, Coast
Guard and Marine Corps will be
respected without regard to race,
creed, color or national origin. The
Association further asked if thei
present practice of excluding Ne
groes from serving at commission
ed officer level in each of these
services would be abandoned.

McNutt intended to issue an order
that “all such facilities be open
and available to qualified persons
without regard to race, color or na

The NAACP communication ;U30
reiterated that the President’s or
der which confered additional au

slanted for the most effective mob
ilization of manpower and woman
power and the elimination of waste
due to disruptive recruitment and
asked exactly what steps the WMC
would make to rectilfy the continu
ance of situations in which employ
ers and unions refused to accept
qualified Negro workers because
they are Negroes.
McNutt was also asked if in the
evnt of his establishing an advisory
committee composed of government
or private groups, Negroes would
be appinted to such a committee.
