C. Andersen, j senior gas officer of the Omaha, I civilian defense council, said in an nouncing protective measures a gainst war gas. “The majority of persons, of course, will remain indoors or im mediately seek shelter during an air raid,” Dr. Andersen said. “A tightly closed room, preferably on an upper floor, affords protection against war gases. Waetr-soaked blankets cr cardboard should be ept ready to cover and seal shat tered windows. “If caught out of doors during a spray attack, get out of the gased area quickly by moving diagonally against the wind,’’ Dr. Andersen advised. “While hurrying to the closest shelter, the first house or building within reach, look down and shield your eyes with your arms. If liquid blister gas has splashed your skin, blot it up with your handkerchief, part of your clothing that has not been exposed, or rags and dispose of these as used. You must act quickly to minimize the irritating effect of the gas. “Remove the rest of your outer clothing, including your shoes, be fore entering the house, and leave them outside. This is no time for false modesty,” Dr. Andersen said. [ “Don’t touch the clothing you have removed except with a stick 0r gas j proof gloves. ‘Get to the bathroom, kitchen or laundry room as quickly as pos sible. Flush your eyes with water and complete the blotting up ot [drops of blister gas. Bathe freely, j using plenty of soap and water a ud ipat the skin dry, don’t rub. DreSs in any clean clothing you can ge‘. If a solution of baking soda is c ' vailable, it may be used to bathe the eyes and as a gargle, instead of water. If Jordinary household bleaching solution is at hand, sat urate a cloth with it and apply to regions of the skin that were splashed with blister gas. This ! chemical will help to neutral z? the blister gas, but it must be re -mvoed by careful washing after ward. Don’t ever use bleaching solution in your eyes ,nose • r mouth,” Dr- Andersen cautioned. Inhaled gas may call for th: fol lowing treatment. Dr. AndersCn said: “If your nose or throat feel ir ritated, snuff and gargle a diluted solution of baking soda. If your chest feels oppressed and you have trouble breathing lie down and stay perfectly quiet until you can be taken to a doctor." SAYS CARVER • • • | Plain Talk. Jj Mi *) ELMER A. CARTER There is overwhelming evidence of a deliberately planned effort on the part of certain elements of our t population to head off the integra tion of colored men and women in to American industry except as un skilled laborers. The walkout at Mobile, Alabama a few weeks ago and the more recent strike of 20, 000 workers in the Packord plant in Detroit’ because three Negroes had been upgraded to jobs requir ing skills, has all the earmarks of being engineered either by axis a gents or by unregenerated trans planted southerners, who see in the breakdown of the pattern of racial segregation in industry the doom of that system by which the meas ure of man is the color of his skin, ond who therefore are panicky iest the unfair advantage they have possessed for 300 years he on its way out. Of course it could be a combination of both But whatev er it is, it could not have happened if the managemento of the ship yard in Mobile and the Packard plant in Detroit had at the outset token a firm and forthright staid. In all instances of mass walkouts such as these, the agitation is ini tiated and sustained By a very small and insignificant group of men, in most cases not more than fifteen or twenty. The number of the rank and file who would risk their jobs because a Negro is up graded will be found to be infinite simol. They are persuaded, cajol ed, threatened by a few vicious leaders strategically situated in various departments. More often than not, the propaganda is spread by petty bosses, foremen, or sup erintendents who hope to gain the confidence of the workers under their control by maing a show of looking out for their interests. Long before the walk-out occurs, the management itself is aware of the undercurrent of ogitation and is able to identify the ringleaders. And where this agitation is con tinued without censure, it is as sumed by the great mass of work ers that antipathy toward Negro workers has the sanction and the blessing of the management. The Packard Company has been, for many years one of the most re actionary of all the automotive companies in the Detroit area in its attitude toward Negro wrorkers. It has stubbornly resisted the in troduction of Negro workers for a quarter of a century, except on the lower levels. In contrast to the Ford Company, Packard has maintained a racial policy that was and is a reproach to American in dustry. Because of its past history, it is difficult to believe that officials of the Packard Company are blame less in this latest and least inex cusable sabotage of the war effort. If the management did not stimu late the walk out, it certainly !s guilty of criminal negligence in not taking steps to prevent it before it occurred, by summary action a gainst the leaders whose activities must have been known. These walk-outs are valuable in that they disclose the present and what is more important, the post war program of certain organized groups in America. That they >.re organized there can be no doubt and one of their avowed missions is to destroy the economic gains which the Negro has been making as a result o fthe war. These dram atic demonstrstions of planned rac ial repression and persecution should be the guide of the Negro es’ strategy for the post-war years. They reveal the nature of the strug gle that impends when millions of jobless soldiers return from the battlefields of Europe and Asia and Africa. There should b; no doubt now in the mind of the Ne gro as to any plan of action. The time for silly maneuvering for priority in leadershpi is over. The time to gird for the greatest strug gle in his history is at hand.

Just because the strikers belong to the CIO .union it would be the height of folly for Negro workers to shun the ranks of organized lab or. If the events at Mobile and Detroit have one lesson, it is that Negroes everywhere, in every oc cupation, on every level should join the ranks of organized labor, and if there is no union in the oc cupation in which they are engage! they shoulv-o start one.
