The new League department will be responsible for educating the A merican Public regarding problems of race relations and techniques for dealing with them.

He was one of the first recipients of the Rosenwald Fel lowship, having been sponsored Dy Mr. Julius Rosenwald during his en tire four years at Grinnell. Thus, in announcing his appointment, Lester B. Granger, Executive Secretary or the National Urban League, stated “Though a new member of the Urb an League staff. Dr. Heningburg has I demonstrated- nTs aBIIity to direct j such an important program as has been entrusted to him. His work »■ the South included experience in the field of industrial relations as well as public education. The need for such a program as he will direct has been evident since the very beginning of the program of National Defense. “The National Urban League, as the oldest and largest social work a gency dealing with living problems of the Negro, has a deep responsibility CHAS. I. SAHDALL SAVSi _ /NEBRASKA IS RROBp\ ( Of HER MODEL \UWORCONTROUm^ I think perhaps many of our cit izens take our liquor control stat utes for granted. Actually, these laws are probably as well drawn and as effective as any in the en tire country. They are often con sidered the model by legislators of other states. The wisdom of our law-makers who, back in 1935, studied the state’s problems and devised our comprehensive and practical liquor control legislation, has been well proved. Thanks to this law, conditions Director of the Brewing Industry'! self regulation program in Nebraa- ' lea; prominent member of . state - bar; former county attorney, state senator; U. S.

Department of Public Education.'’ “V1CTORU, PEACE AND SECURITY” URBAN LEAGUE CONFERENCE THEME. Plans for the 34th Annual Nation al Urban League Cnoference, being held this year in Columbus, Ohio, September 28—October 3, will stick close to the treatment of war ana post-war problems affecting Amer ican communities with, “Victory, Peace, Security” as the Conference theme. Outstanding persons in the field of social work and in Americ an public life, as well as National Urban League personnel and Execu tive and Board members from 50 Ur ban League affilaites, are expected to bring to the meeting first-hand ex perience and pertinent material to help forward plans and discussions on community techniques in race relat ions. Five Commissions, handling topics ranging from Urban League technique and methology, to war and post-war employment and racial con flict, are gathering material for the Workshop Sessions which are to be a feature of the Conference. President Roosevelt said in com mending the efforts of the NUL Conference which was held in Chica go last year, “It is fitting that the Natoinal Urban League should seek to impress upon our Nation the fact that Negro and white Americans must cooperate effectively in winning the war, and in developing harmonious peace-time living as a foundation of j lasting American democracy.” Gover nors of a number of states endorsed the “Victory Through Unity” theme and set aside the NUL Conference week as "Victory Through Unity Week|” Nation-wide attention was drawn to the work of the Conference as a result of a series of articles m the New York Times written by Tur ner Catledge. The articles emphas ized the Urban League purpose in “the development of a more realistic program of wartime race relations, which will give the Negro a greatev and more rsepected place in war in dustry and yet remove many existing causes of bitterness”.

National Advertising Representative:— INTERSTATE UNITED NEWSPAPERS. INC., 545 Fifth Avenue, New York City, Phone MUiray Hill 2-5452, Ray Peck, Manager. Washington Scene —BY EDGAR G. BROWN— Thomas E. Dewey Worried FDR — In the nation's capitol today, all are agreeing that Governor Thomas E. Dewey, the GOP nominee for President of the United States will be more than a match for the 4th term schemers. Recriminations fill the air as the few remaining Congressional leaders make final preparations to attend the Democratic National Convention. It appears the New Deal Demo cratics and the southerners who real ly control the House and Senate. Chairmanships of committees are a bout to end a happy 12 year friend ship. They are quarreling about the proper stauts of the northern colored voter and his equally disfranchised brother below the Mason-Dixon line. They apparently have forgotten about the political fortures of that “man” in the White House caught as they are suddenly on the sharp ends of the racial dilemina. No escape seems possible in the face of the new Dewey Republican strategy. On one hand there are demands from the southern Democrats for a strong white supremacy plank to be incorporated in the party platform at the forthcoming Democratic National Convention which meets in Chicago, July 19th, 1944. While the northern Democrats cry mournfully in the plight they now find themselves with 4,000,000 color* ed voters of the north to reckon with on election day. They are baffled and confronted with the “equal rights” plank adopted unanimously Dy the Republican National Convention on June 28th, 1944. “MAMMY BLACK” PAINT LABEL DRAWS PROTEST New York—The NAACP has lodged a protest with the Brooklyn Varnish Manufacturing Company •vt: a “Mammy Black” laDel on an enamel product. “Not only the name but the illus tration used on this label is insulting and offensive to 13 million Americans who happen not to be white”, the N AACP wrote. “In these days when the whole world is at war to destroy racial hatred and bigotry, and when 700,000 Negro Americans are in uni- ' form fighting for, among other things freedom from insult and racial hum iliation, it would seem that your com pany would not issue a product, the name of which holds up to ridicule any race or religion. “This association, wishes to regis ter vigorous protest against this label and to ask that your company with draw it from the market and substi tute some other name.” Democrats will Lose. The democrats are further confront -ed by the GOP. all out platform pledge backed solidly by Governor Dewey for legislation to make per manent the Fair Employment Practic es Committee, (FEPC) anti-poll tax anti-lynching and anti-discrimination planks. The colored organizations and leaders have been quick to demand the same immediate and favorable ac tion by the Democratic National Con vention in its platform and prompt consideration in Washington, where it holds the reins of government and controls the majority in both branch es of Congress. The inclusion of such proper and unequivocal party declarations by the Democratic party in Chicago must be made by them this year or they are sure to lose the colored vote in the populous and pivotal northern states in the coming election. It looks like the end of Democratic rule and President Roosevelt’s 4th term ambitions. Some would say it is the. hand of an all wise Providence as necessary to save the union and the freedom for which 10,000,000 of the nation’s youth fight and die, as when Abraham Lincoln signed the immortal Emanci pation Proclamatoin. United Race Leadership IVins. It is important to record here our own agreement with one of the wide ly read daily1 columnists, who credit ed this powerful racial advantage so recently gained in the national picture to the wise strategy and militancy of the United leadership of the colored 1 organizations. This unprecedented advance result- . ed from the formidable appearance of 1 some forty or thirty colored repres entatives before the resolutions con. mittee all demanding absolute, iH* equivccal of one voice in their de mands for unequivocal and immediate justice and equal rights as guaranteed all Americans in the face of the pres ent war conditions. The same direct appeal for democ racy and freedom on the home front, now, will be taken by the colored leadership before hte resolutions coni mittee of the Democratic National Convention July 19th in Chicago, de spite the Russells, Bilbos, Connallys, and Rankins. f To relieve distress of MONTHLY \ Female Weakness ; • (Also Fine Stomachic Tonic) Lydia E.

Although restricted to crutches and wheel chairs and forced to receive school instruction at home or in district hospitals, the little shut-ins insisted on doing what they could for the war effort. The ambulance, purchased with $2,022 in war savings, was presented to the Army at appropriate ceremonies last week in the Freedmen’s Hospital annex. (Official Treasury photo by Harris & Ewing.)
