Colored Mrs. Roosevelt , Mrs. Eleanor Koosevelt, wife of the President, wrote several weeks ago and I quote: “If I were a Ne gro,” I think I would have mo ments of great bitterness. It would | be hard for me to sustain my faith in democracy and to build up a | sense of good will toward men of the other races . . . There now re mains much work to be done to see that freedom becomes a fact and not just a promise for my people.” This and much more spoke the first lady. . sider it a violation of my oath of office to appoint or continue to tolerate a Secretary of War, that permitted commanding officers to shoot innocent colored soldiers sent as under military order to deliver their drunken bodies to their wife and children or to permit other officers or soldiers to kill, discrim inate and abuse other soldiers in the uniform of Uncle Sam, solely because of race and color. By H. W. Smith WE. 6458 The waiters of the Regis Hotel and the White Horse Inn are on the job at all times. The Fontenelle waiters are ready with a quick step for the Ak-Sar Ben supper dance. The Paxton Hotel, with the race horse haired waiter and the stream lined crew of waiters are always out in front with fine service. The waiters at the Hill Hotel are top notchers, with modern serv ice. The Rome Hotel, with veteran John Eavens, always pleases the boys that are enlisted with Uncle Sam. Are you a member of the N. A. A. C. P. ? The Omaha Club waiters, with Captain Earl Jones, are very much in the running at all times on quick service. Captain Burns is in the Veterans’ Hospital in Lincoln. The Railroad boys are always out in front with fine service on wheels. The Omaha Athletic Club wait ers are giving service with a very Honor Colored Heroes If I were President I would not refuse to decorate T>rave colored sailors or soldiers like Dorie Mil ler and Robert Brooks with the Congressional Medal of Honor, nor deny such honors to all colored servicemen regardless of their he roic deeds. If I were President 1 would not keep silent when billions of federal housing funds expended to build homes for American men and wom en were so administered as to bar ! colored war workers and their families. If I were President I would not try to fool the people with FEPC hearings and do noth ing to bring to justice the railroad unions and government officials prove guilty of openly aiding in i discrimination practices against I colored railroad workers nor would we fail the unprotected and vic timized colored fireman being kill ed outright or suffering slow death by unemployment. If I were Pres ident I would not allow the Secre tary of the Navy to insult the wives and daughters of a million colored servicemen by denying them admittance to the WAVES and re fusing colored sailors commissions in the Navy. Black Presiaent Now let us go still further: If this writer might be so bold as to paraphase instead of Mrs. Roos evelt’s, “If I were a Negro,” let i us assume the preposterous in regard to true identity too and say, “If I were Mrs. Roosevelt’s husband and in my third term as President, Commander-in-Chief of the United States and author of the Four Freedoms of World War II with a million colored soldiers fighting, bleeding and dying too, for democracy abroad.” If I were President Roosevelt, I would first speak out and issue an executive order to stop all discrimination and segregation of American citizens tax payers and war bond buyers I on the home front. I would enforce the constitutional rights of 13,000, 000 colored people North and South by outlawing, lynching and race riots, abolishing the poll tax, reg istration and educational test of colored Americans’ citizenship, thereby guaranteeing equal justice to all, without racial distinction. If I were PresidentI would not keep silent and let my wife do all the talking, especially when how ever nice it sounds, no official help is forth coming from the White House and the Administration’s Democratic Representatives and Senators in Congress and the ex ecutive departments. Fire Attorney General Biddle If I were President I would fire Attorney-General Biddle for trying to sabotage the all out war effort in the recent recommendation that loyal, willing, available and patri otic colored workers be denied their God given right to migrate to the North to fill essential war jobs and to escape peonage, starvation wages, the Jim Crow system in public places, trains, buses, street cars, a vicious educational set-up which expends $5.00 for a colored child and $35.00 for a white child in a dozen southern states and pro viding not a single university open to colored youth for the study of law, medicine, engineering and eco nomics and finance in southern states.

Levy to jail for try ing to teach colored soldiers to read and write. If I were Pres ident I would instruct the Civil Service Commission to use the ‘ power granted in Congress to pre scribe the rules and regulations to stop the present survey bent on classifying the 3,000,000 fed eral employees on the basis of race though this discriminatory action is a specifically prohibited by Law, I would appoint a colored member of the Civil Service Com mission to guard the integrity of this vital federal agency as Mayor La Guardia has done in New York and Mayor Walker before him. If I were President I would not send prelates to barnstorm the battle areas as New Deal propagandists where colored soldiers are used only as engineers and have to go in first to face the shot and shells. Nor would I stand for the court martial of a God fearing colored officer like Chaplain Fuller, who cries out against the mistreatment of colored soldiers in the Pacific area by white officers and soldiers.

If I were President I would get rid of the three southern secre taries, especially the one who call ed the colored leaders, who pro tested the legal lynching of the Scottsboro boys, “insolvent n-!” and the other who kicked the in nocent colored policeman in the groins for trying to protect the life of the nation’s chief execu tive. I would also relieve the No. 1 White House assistant from South Carolina of any important duties, recollecting that it was this state that first shot down the j American flag and seceded from the Union. If I were President I would con sider it an act of simple justice to provide representation on the 6,000 OPA Local Price and Ration boards to one-tenth of the total population in these war times.

Not now, while it isn’t pos sible for you to live with her. She is young and you’re young, why bring matters to a head at such a crucial time? Marriage is the most important step in life and. you shouldn’t go into it with un certainty and misgivings. When you meet the right girl there won’t be a question of a doubt in your mind. make grave mistakes by playing j men against each other in a daring J reckless manner. The results are j more often than not, unfortunate ' to the girl herself. If you marry this man, remember one thing..._ you will be indebted to him forev er for his loyalty in standing by you at such a time. Show him your appreciation by being a devot ed and faithful mate. L. A. E.—I am planning on mov ing to my farm that I am buying. It has taken us years to get this place like we want it. Will we bei successful out there? Ans. You should certainly be able to reap a rich reward of pros-l perity and happiness on the little farm on which you have expended so much time, money and planning This is the opportune time to make the change as there is such a de mand for farm products during war time. L- S.—I married my husband in 1>40 and we have two children. The first one he owned but the> second one he said he didn’t own. M. B. S.—I’m in one big mess. I am 18 years old and there are four men that claim they are in love with me. I’m expecting a baby soon. Should I marry the one, that has been married, the one I'm supporting, the single one, or the father of the child, or must I stay single? What shall I do? Ans: There is no choice, .marry the father of your child if he is willing to assume this responsibil ity. At least, you will be doing your duty by the child. Girls Classified Ads Get Resuits! I fell in love with a young fellow in 1942 which caused my husband and I to separate and is until now. Both my husband and my boy friend are in the service. The bOy friend wants t° marry me when all is over and now my husband writ es that he wants me to take him back. What must I do? Ans: Get these "giddy” notions out of your head. You overwhelm ed your boy friend for a while but his ardor has cooled considerably. He gave you love but he did not mention marriage_..he only prom ised it when he went in service. Your husband is still the kind, faithful man that you married and he stands ready to assume his ob ligations to you and the children at a moment’s notice. He needs the assurance of your love now.._.. don’t deny him this happiness. E. M. M—Will I finish school this year. Of course I don’t see ihow I can finish, making bad marks all the time.
