months ago, some registrants of the
older age group have made plans to
leave their awr jobs and accept em
ployment less essential to the war ef
fort, apparently on the mistaken be
lief that they are immune from in
duction.
“One of the principal reasons sel
ective service revised its regulations
to make occupational deferment eas
ier for men over 29,” the general
said, “was to relieve labor shortages
in essential work. We wan-, men,
aged 29 through 37, who hold occu
pational deferments o stick to their
war jobs and we intend that local
boards shall reclassify to Class 1-A
those who don’t stick.”
While most Nebraska registrants
now being inducted are aged 18 thru
25, the general said the way is still
open to induct men aged 26 through

Formula for
getting ahead
_
The Pelican above has an excellent "formula for not getting ahead**
. . . "let somebody else take care of me." In countries where people
are too closely controlled by government, there are peasants . . . men
and women without much hope of anything for themselves or their
children but continuing peasantry . . . where strict government control
has stifled all initiative add ambition.
In America there is no peasant class, because we have held open the
door of opportunity to all. The spirit that has made America great is
the driving force of free, private enterprise ... and there is no substitute.

NEGRO DELEGATES ELATED
OVER CHOICE OF DEWEY
(continued from p 1)
ious and constructive in the party *
history. Many had arrived in Chic
ago entertaining doubts about the
party of Lincoln’s attitude for the
problems affecting the Negro citiz
ens. Wild rumors to the effect that
Senator Byrd might be the vice-pres
idential nominee, that the part>
would ignore demands of its colored
constituency for specific references
to such issues as, the poll tax, lyncn
ing, FEPC, and other controversial
matters, had a number of them con
siderably worried. But the report
of the Resolutions committee on
Tuesday, cleared up the clouds, and
convinced the most skeptical that the
Republican party is fully cognizant
of the strength and influence of the
Negro vote in strategic states.
The Overwhelming vote of the 1,
057 delegates for Thomas E. Dewey,
Governor of New York, as the party
nominee for president of the United
States, wsa met with enthusiasm by
most of the Negro delegates, alter
nates, and visitors. Governor Brick
er of Ohio’s selection, Dewey’s runn
ing mate, also proved popular, and
the record of both governor's in con
nection with the Negro voters of
New York and Ohio is generally con
ceded to be commendable and indic
ative of continued and even greater
strides to be made by American citiz
ens of Negro descent if the Dewey
-Bricker combination emerges victor
ious in November.
Perry Howard, National Comit
teeman from Mississippi, now serving
out His 20th year, stated that the
convention had wound up a great
session with an all-out victory tick
et. Judge Rivers of New York, Ce
cil L. Rocolette of Detroit, Mrs.
Sarah S. Washington of Atlantic
City, and a host of other delegates
expressed satisfaction with the Dew
ey-Bricker setup.
1 he platform as a whole, met with
the approval of most of the delegat
es and alternates even though it was
reported that Dr. S. D. Redmond of
Mississippi, only Negro member of
the Resolutions Committee had been
shunted from the important Labor
sub-committee. Key points in the
Republican platform of 1944 follow:
On War and Peace.
“We declare our relentless aim to
win the war against all our enemies:
(1) for our own American Security
and welfare; (2) to make and keep
the Axis powers impotent to renew
tyranny and attack; (3) for the at
tainment of peace and freedom based
on justice and security.”
On Western Hemisphere Relations. .
We shall develop Pan-American
solidarity. The citizens of our neigh
-boring nations in th'e Western'Hem
isphere are, like ourselves, Americ
ans. Coiperation with them shall be
achieved through mutual agreement
and without interference in the inter
nal affairs of any nation. Our pol
icy should be a genuine Good Neign
gor policy, comanding their respect,
and not one based on the reckless
squandering of American funds by
overlapping agncis.”
On Social Security.
We pledge our support of the fol
lowing :
1. Extension of the existing old
age insurance and unemployment in
surance systems to all employes not
already covered.
2. The return of the public em
ployment-office system to the States
at the earliest possible time, financ
ed as before Pearl Harbor.
3. A careful study of Federal
State programs for maternal a»d
child health, dependent children, and
assistance to the blind, with a view
to strengthening these programs.
4. The continuation of these and
other programs relating o health and
the stimulation by Federal aid of
Stote plans t omake medical and hos
pital service available to those in
nted without disturbing doctor-pat
ient relationships or socializing med
icine.
5. The stimulation of State and
local plans to provide decent low cost
housing properly financed by the
Federal Housing Administration or
otherwise, when such housing cannot
be supplied or financed by private
sources.”
I
On Labor.
“The Republiran Party acecpts the
purposes of the National Labor Re
lations Act, the Wage and Hour Act,
the Social Security Act and all oth
er Feleral statotes designated to pro
mote and protect the welfare of Am
erican working men and women, and
we promise a fair and just adminis
tration of these laws.”
On Foreign Trade
“’We assure American farmers, live
stock producers, workers and indus
try that we will establish and main
tain a fair protective tariff on com
petitive products so that the stand
ards of living of our people shall not
be impaired through the importation
of commodities produced abroad by
labor or producers, functioning upon
lower standards than our own.”
On A Proposed Two-Termed
Limit for President
“We favor an amendment to the
Constitution providing that no per
son shall be President of the United
States for more than two terms of
four years each.”
ON Veteran's Aid.
“We approve, have supported and
have aided in the enactment of laws
which provide for reemployment of
J veterans of this war in their old pos
itions, for mustering-out-pay, for
pensions for widows and orphans of
such veterans killed or disabled, for
rehabilitation of disabled veterans,
for temporary unemployment benefits,
for education and vocational training
and for assisting veterans in acquir
ing homes and afrms and in establish
ing themselves in business.”
On Racial and Religious
Intolerance.
“We unreservedly condemn the
injection "into American life of ap
peals to racial or religious prejudice.
We pledge an immediate Congress
ional inquiry to ascertain the extent
to which mistreatment, segregation
and discrimination against Negroes
who are in our armed forces are im
pairing morale and efficiency and
the adoption of corrective legislat
ion.
We pledge the establishment by
federal legislation of a permanent
Fair Employment Practice Commit
tee.
Anti-Poll Tax.
The payment of any poll tax should
not be a condition of voting in fed
eral elections and we favor immed
iate submission of a Constitutional a
mendment for its abolition.”
Anti-Lynchings.
“We favor legislation against lyi*
-ching and pledge our sincere efforts
in behalf of its early enactment.”
The plank on the Negro rperesents
a victory for the several groups wno
have filed vigorius pleas and protests
to hte Republican National Commit
tee and its Resolutions Committee
headed by Senatir Taft of Ohio.
These griups included the NAACP,
headed by Walter Shite, the Execut
ive Secretary, the Planning Commit
tee for United Minorities, of A-hicn
Robert Church of Memphis is chair
man, the National Negro Council led
by Edgar G. Brown, and the Nation
al Community Relations Advisory
Council. Perry Howard expressed
his opinion of the Platform by stat
ing, “the platform of this conven
tion as it affects our group is the
best the party has had since it wae
formed. We have plerges touching
I lynrhing, army discriminating general
segregation, FEPC and everything
else we could possibly desire or re
quest the party to promise.
“We invite the New Deal boys to
compare our platform with the Demo
-cratic steers and donkeys of those
Texans, and South Carolinians who
are planning the plank in the Demo
cratic platform against the Negro.”
Housing and Entertainment.
Chicago turned out to be a pretty
good host if the comments of the
many delegates and visitors are ac
cepted. Sightseeing trips and many
social events were scheduled for the
entertainment of the guests. Citiz
ens of the South side threw open
their homes so that there was not too
much difficulty encountered in gett
ing rooms.
Every hotel welcomed Negro dele
gates, alternates and visitors. Perry
