It's no longer TABOO for girls
to talk of this possible help
You can’t expect a grin-and-bear
it attitude to bring relief from the
distress of periodic, functional pain.
Perhaps that’s why so many
women use CARDUI. It has a 62
year record of 2-way help, when
taken as directed: (1) started three
days before "your time,” it should
help relieve pain due to purely pe
riodic, functional causes; (2) taken
as a tonic, CARDUI usually im
proves appetite, aids digestion by
increasing the flow of gastric
juices, and thus helps build resist
tance, which often aids in minimiz
ing periodic functional distress.
Try CARDUI. You may be glad
you did!

NAACP HINTS!
Constantly on guard, insistant in its
demands for fair play and equal
rights, peering into every opening and
venture where public funds are used
to carry on to see that every contri
| bution reaps an adequate return on
his investment, no matter how small
or how large. We all must put some
thing into life’s struggle if we expect
to take anything out. That is fair
in that we are not riding on the
shoulders of someone else.
We are being contacted every day
in nearly every walk of life to give
support to the mobilization of our
forces to the end that the FEPC. may
become a Law on our statute books
for all time. No wishful thinking
will avail anything. So it is up to
all organizations and individuals to
write, telegraph and page our Repres
entatives in Washington. This bill
which is now on the Senate calendar
is in great danger of being filibust
ered to its death by the reactionar
ies and enemies who are determined
that progress shall no be made be
cause it means the shelving of so
much of the jim crow and closed
doors rules now in force not only in
the south but all over America.
While we are in the fight for De
mocracy the World over and gladly
so, we must fight for the right to
earn the barest and most necessary
means for human existence. There
is in the Government departments
men who study ways and means of
holding Negroes back, irregardless of
ability, education, culture and qualif
! ications. This is true of public and
private institutions.
It is a nasty, contemptible plan and
excuse put forth in that they say the
public objects to being served by a
Negro or the help does or might ob
ject, when they have no right or rul
es to deny that for which you con
tend and have proven by tests or ex
perience to be entitled. Negroes of
Omaha you must get together, you
must organize. You must be more
concrete. You must select worth
while men to lead and be followed.
No group in Omaha or Nebraska but
what is unified and get more respect
ful attention than Negroes. It is pit
iable. It is shameful with all the
men and women in Omaha with the
Degrees and diplomas in law, medic
ine, teaching and many other avenues
of human ambitions and yet we are
so d;vided and distrustful that there
is not a single man in Omaha who I
could safely say 73% of our group
would respect and follow as a lead
er. Snap out of it and do away with
envy, jealousy, greed, selfish ambit
ions and those nasty, contemptiDle
thoughts that strangle and debase us.
In our Interracial committee work
we have a wonderful group of broad
liberal and tolerant group who are
putting forth every effort to draw
closer together the people of the com
munity and are exhibiting a determin
ation to force an educational growth
of mind and heart which must in the
end mean real Democratic freedom
for which we now fight and dream.

PERMANENT EEPC COUNCIL
HITS SNAG
SUPPORT DROPS
WASHINGTON, April 20 (ANP
The work of the National Council for
a Permanent FEPC, to all intents
anc. purposes, has been snagged on the
rork of policy. Sources both in and
out og government whose sympathies
ail along have been and still are in
support of the idea by the council,
are agreed upon this point.
To begin with, the council was born
ot the imagination of A. Philip Ran
dolph and his March on Washington
Movement, early in 1943. According
to a stronger supp irter of the -MOW
M here in Washington, it was not the
intent of the organization to domin
ate the council in any way but rather
to get it moving and to leave it to
itj own devices.
The chairmanship of the council,
however, was shared by Randolph and
Dr. Allen Knight Chalmers, pastor of
tlie Broadway Tabernacle church in
New York. A large national comm
ittee was created and then a smaller
executive committee. The larger
number of appoinments to this smal
ler group were and are held by Ne
groes.
Because of his multiplicity of dut
ies Randolph quite naturally left
much responsibility with B. F. Me
Laurin, a field representative for his
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por
ters. Mcaurin, it might be said, has
always been available to "second St.
Philip’s motion", as one individual
has described him.
When he council decided finally to
get down to work early this year, two
secretaries were named with the func
tions of neither ever clearly defined.
They are Mrs. Ann Arnold Hedge
man, former racial relations advisor
in New York for the Office of Civ
ilian Defense; and Will Allen, a
newspaperman, Washington represent
ative for the International Ladies
Garment Workers union, and a skilled
lobbyist.
The council met here for two days

in February and impressed a consider
i able number of people with its de
! -ire 1c do a job. The representation
included a number of influential
whites. Since that time the organiz
ation has been fumbling along with
out adequate direction.
At least two important matters in
volving policy have not yet been set
tled. if present indications are to be
believed. The first involves actual
minority representations in the coun
cil; the other, the position to be tak
en tegarding the present struggle of
FEPC for a budget.
Obstrvors here have long felt hat
if permanent FEPC is ever to be
realized, the effort is going to re
quire the concerted efforts of all min
or hv groups who can be convinced
that they have a stake in the fight.
These individuals maintain that FE
PC is held by many to represent noth
ing more than an instrument for
handling Negro grievances only. They
point cut that the committee itself
has said or none nothing to demon
strate otherwise, either in its make
up or in its solicitation of space in
newspapers.
Consequently, the disposition of the
national council to recognize this fact
adequately has done nothing to clear
the air of this thinking. Sam Bar
ron of the Textile Workers Union
and George Hunton representing the
Catholic Interracial council are the
whites on the executive committee.
The Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union was to have a person on the
committee also|.
A check disclosed that when these
individuals have attended meetings,
one or two of the Negroes there al
ways tried to dominate the meetings.
Apart from this, the representation
granetd has been construed as being
meagre.
Regarding the FEPC budget, the
cohmittee has yet to decide whether
it would be sound to push for an ap
propriation for a "temforary” agency
at the same time that it is pressing
for hearings on a permanent agency.
Argument, informerly, has been of
fered on both sides.
Queried on the council's position on
this question three weeks ago, Mrs.
Hedgeman said she did not know
what the attitude would be. She did
not know at the time that a letter to
editors was then in the mail, ostens
ibly signed by Randolph, urging sup
port for the budget in the name of
the council. Asked later about this
she said she knew of no meeting of
the executive committee at which this
was discuss. Nor does anyone else
identified with the council recall such
a formal discussion.
^ One effect that is developing out
of this indecision is the gradual
“sloughing off” of support from trade
unions. Numerous sizeable pledges
had been received but few have been
realized, it is reliably learned.
1 The CIO was expected to come
| through, but has failed so far. There
j is one report that instead of bringing
Willard S. Townsend, president, Uni
ted Transport Service Employes of
America (CIO) into the executive
committee, he was given a position on
the national committee.
A substantial contribution has been
expected momentarily from David I
Dubinsky and the I LG MU which is
being held up pending "clarification”
of matters.
The feeling is that Randolph is not
taking the active part in the council
that he might, but rather has left this
to McLaurin. The belief is that in
stead of getting down to work, Mc
Laurin has been more concerned a
bout winning control over the execu
tive committee.
