The other two members of the Committee—Senator Albert B. Chandler. Democrat, Ky., and Sen ator Henry Cabot Jr., Republican, Mass., were not in Washington at the time of the interview. “American armed forces consti tute the toughest fighting machine the world has ever known’’ said Senator Russell, who acted as chair man. “They are the best trained and equipped of all soldiers in this war and are ready and anxious io get on with the war so they can return home,” he continued. Asked about the opening of the Burma Road and American troops in Indian and China, Senator Rus sell told of present difficulties of getting supplies to the Chinese. He told of how the supplies had to be unloaded from ships, reloaded on trains, transferred several tim es from different railroads because, of the difference in the gauge and the trip finally completed by air plane to the fighting forces. Most of this ' ork of handling thes-; .-up plies is f>: r.v don ■ by Amcri.nn Negroes. intse negroes, tsaiu oenaior Russell, “can unload a ship in four days, where it formerly took the native Indians and British troops two weeks.” Inquiry was also made about the French troops now fighting with the United Nations. These troops were trained and equipped by the United Nations and are mostly col onials from North Africa. They are the most feared of all the sol diers now in Europe, said Senator Russell. Senator Meade was also enthus iastic in his remarks about Negro soldiers. He praised the coordin ation of the American armed forc es in the Southwest Pacific and pointed as an example of this co ordination the fact that the Amer ican soldiers, sailors and Marines in this area all dressed alike. “You can't tell what branch of the ser vice they belong to from their ap pearance,” he said. He paid special tribute to the work of Negro Seab^es of the Navy who have built roads, airports and handled much of the supplies go ing into the Southwest Pacific a rea. Negro Seabees and soldiers in this area were highly thought of by their officers from General Mac Arthur down he said. En route home the Senators stop ped in Hawaii where they were greeted by a Negro Anti-Aircraft regiment from New York, Under1 ! command of Col. Chauncey M. Hooper. “This regiment is doing a great job,” said Senator Mead. Senator Russell, speaking for the group, said that he thought most of the people at home had under estimated the strength of the Jap anese. He said no one who had not been there could understand the bitterness of the fight against the Japanese in the South Pacific. Senator Brewster added, “The nearest thing I can think of is what American pioneers were up against fighting Indians in our early days.” Asked for opinions on how long the war would last, Senator Rus sell replied that he thought Ger many might crumble any day but said the German Army was still a tough fighting force which should not be underestimated. 2 PROFESSORS COLLABORATE IN PREPARATION OF CHEMISTRY BOOKLET Institute, W.

URBAN LEAGUE SUBMITS 14 POINT PROGRAM FOR RACE RELATIONS TODAY AND IN POST WAR WORLD (Conunued fO': page 1) ing need of the moment which must be made by thoughtful and courageous Negro leadership. 8. Social agencies are called up on to re-examine their present pro grams in the light of their origin al philosophy and obectives. They must recognize their responsibility for serving all people without dis crimination because of race. 9. Police departments in cities throughout the country have an opportunity and duty to reorgan ize their policies and practices in, accordance with the requirements! of democratic government. Not' only the attitudes of individual po lice officers, but the policies of whole departmnets must be reex amined and improved in the light of tense situations of the present 10. .Programs for consumer edu cation and protection must be de veloped among the Negro popula tion 11. Medical and health ser/ices to the Negro population must be strengthened now as a wartime health need of Negroes and also rs a protection against the further deterioration of these services dur ing the post-war period. Th?*e is a danger that the policies of racial segregation and discrimin ttion which are, unfortunately, a part of the army’s and navy’s medical pol icies will be reflected in increased racial discrimination in hospitals and other public health services as present Army and Navy officers return to civilian medical practice. 12. Industrial management, or ganized labor, and government share a common responsibility lor protecting Negro workers against undue hardship in the release of workers from their present war time jobs. Without waiting for t'no end of fhe war, leadership in each of these fields should begin im mediately and in cooperation with Negro leaders, to discuss questions of job seniority, transfer of work ers in plant conversion, retraining of workers, for peace-time jobs and elimination of the remaining »e strictions against Negro member ship in trade unions. It is desir able that reforms along these lines be accomplished with a minimum o flegislation, but where industrial and labor leadership proves obdur ate against assumption of proper social resonsibilities, legislative leaders should begin now to frame effective legislation designed to rotect the rights of all the people to all employment opportunities. EDGAR BROWN ASKS TO PROBE ‘‘SHOOTIN’ COLONEL’S TRIAL" ■Washington, D. C.—Rep. Paul W. Shafer, Michigan Republican, chairman of the House Investigat ing Committee responsible for bringing Col. W. T. Colman to trial (The Colonel was recently demoted to the rank of a Captain for the shooting of a Negro soldier, at Sel fridge Field, Michigan), and Edgar G. Brown, Director, National Negro Council, urge Rep. Andrew J. May of Kentucky, chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee to initiate a full scale probe to wipe out the Colman whitewash'’ and bring the Colonel to a new trial. Reading from left to right: Representative Shafer, Mr. Brown, and Representative May. ( Press Photo Service.) 12. A watchful eye must bo kept on the public services and so cial gains already achieved as a part of our war-time planning if the United States Employment ser vices should be returned to the states. I 13. Provisions for war housing, health and child care made possible) under the Lanham act must be carried over by proper legislation into the post-war period with ef fective precautions to insure the extension of those benefits to Ne j gro citizens. 14. We urge that all media of public education, pulpit, press, rad i,o schools—should accept the de mocratic responsibility which is theirs for creating the proper rac ial attitudes and understanding by presenting all maters pertaining to the education of the public in an unbiased and constructive manner. One of the specific steps taken by the conference was the sending of a telegram to both the sentae! and house appropriations commit tcees pointing out to them the ‘‘in tolerable housing and living condi tions of whites and Negroes” which they said, constitutes ‘‘one of the basic causes of racial tension” and a peril to the war effort.” As an essential step toward easing racial tensions, promoting national Unity and winning the war,” the group urged, “the immediate appropria tion of the balance o^ $200,000,00 for war housing and of $150,000,000 for associated war public works and services already authorized by the | congress Under the Lanham act,” should be made. Both Gov. Dwight H. Green of Illinois and Mayor Edward J. Kel ly of Chicago had proclaimed the period of the conference as “Vic tory Through Unity Week,1” to which President Roosevelt, in a strongly worded message, gave his endorsement. The President fur ther wrote that he could not see how America could "stand before the world as a champion of oppres sed peoples unless we practice as well as preach the principles of de mocracy for all men.” The two speakers participating in the opening session of the con ference last Tuesday afternoon a greed that the status of public morale in terms of minority and , race relations adjustment is at the point where a lack of full particip ation on the part of all citizens is j hampering the war effort. They j attributed the cause to traditional hostilities against the Negro in the armed forces and in industry. The speakers were Frederick B. Sweet, director, public relations and membership activities of Ford Local 600, United Auto Workers, (CIO), and Dr. Ira De A. Reid, soc iology department, Atlata univers ity. Mayor Kelly appeared on the pro gram of the first evening meeting, attended by nearly 2,000 persons in | the Wendell Phillips High School i auditorium ,and declared that ”A mericans are standing together as their brother’s keeper, fighting the common fight for decency, and the destruction of racial discrimirat ion.” It was here that Granger first outlined his program. Dr. Louis Wirth, professor of soc -iology. University of Chicago, saw ! an attempt on the part of the en i cmies to make of this a racial war and warned that this pitfall must hr avoided. He pointed to the ‘uniqueness” of this war, in that our slogans have all been made for us by the enem.y "Democracy is in antithesis to dictatorship,” he said, "racial bigotry is in antithesis to racial equality.” ‘‘The Negro would do best if l«e is allied with the forces of progress rather than the forces of reaction” he said, ‘‘because he suffers the greatest disability under the status quo. If he can arouse the con science of the nation, he can help the rest keep their heads now:' Harold A. Lett, executive secre tary, Newark Urban league, was on the same program with Dr. Wii'th on Wednesday afternoon. Lett outlined the procedures of estab lishing interracial committees and discussed some of the techniques of committee work. Col. Campbell C. Johnson, execu tive assistant to the director, na tional selective service system and Mark A. McCloskey, director of re creation, office of community war services, Federal Security adminis tration, spoke on Thursday after noon. The topic was "The Service Man and His Family." Col. Johnson reviewed the work of the war and navy departments under the Allotment and Allow ance act of 1942 as they attempt to meet the problem, and brought in a description of the efforts of the Army Emergency relief, the Navy Relief society, and the local comm unity welfare services. He declar ed the problem confronting all these agencies is getting the fam ilies of servicemen acquainted with the whereabouts of these solutions in meeting their needs. McCloskey thought that in the post-war period the government will have to provide facilities lor recreational purposes. He felt that private enterprise had done an in adequate job. The Illinois State-Wide Confer-! ence on Racial Problems convened Friday at luncheon and heard the Rev. Archibald J. Carey Jr., of Chi cago, discuss “Home Front Fas cists." The conference is primarily supported by the Chicago and Springfield branches of the Urban league. That afternoon the summary and findings of the Urban league con fernce were heard in the report prepared by a committe of league staff members and read by John T. Clark of St. Louis. On Satur day a luncheon and round table was held. “Stabilizing the Employ ment of Negroes in War Industry” w-as the subject, and Charles L. Horn, president, Federal Cartridge corporation, Twin Cities Ordnance plant, was the main speaker. It was attended by industrial and la bor leaders and league executives. The conference concluded with the rally on Sunday where Jamesi B. Carey, secretary-treasurer for the Congress for Industrial Organ ization and Joseph D. Keeman, la bor vice-chairman, War Production board, representing the American Federation of Labor ,declared that labor must not permit Inroads to be made on it by those who are op posed to the New Deal, and that the best friend of the Negro is la t>or. Willard S. Townsend, internation, al president of the United Trans port Service Employes of Amer.ca (CIO) and Rabbi Jacob J. Wein stein, KAM Temple, Chicago, were the other speakers. Color was added to the occasion when detachments of several pa triotic and civilian defense womens organizations assisted with the handling of the crowd and availed themselves of the opportunity »o display colorful Uniform^ Repre sentatives of several of the mnn bers of the united nations were j present and sat on the platform at Orchestra hall.
