He traveled in style occupying low er berth No. 3 in Pullman car No. 216 at arrived in Los Angeles at the beautiful station built of gray marble of Spanish design at 7:30 a. m. two and one half days later.

On his trip westward, he says he I was the only Negro passenger in the sleeper and one one to eat in the din er. The train which he rode was made up of 20 coaches and a diner. There were a lots of both white and colored soldiers on the train but none in his car. Meals on the diner averaged from 85c to $1.50. Five miles out of Cheyenne, Wyoming, he relates, they ran into a terrific hail storm with some of the hail nearly as large as a small hen's egg.

He says Mayme is well and hearty at this time but that Eula has had a slight attack of arthritis but is get ting along fairly well. They all send best regards to all their friends and acquaintances. DEMOS GIVE SHORT; BUT THEIR STRONGEST PLANK ON EQUALITY; (Continued from pase 1) representing the National Negro council argued that the government should “if necessary, call out troops" to enforce the recent supreme court decision declaring that Negroes could not be barred from state primaries The Chicago Council Against Rac ial and Religious Discrimination join ed the other groups in judging im mediate federal enactment of perm anent FEPC legislation, while Mr^ Murray warned the committee mem bers that “labor is demanding a c ;ur ageous stand on the racial issue." Bishop R. R. Wright presentee the demands of the Fraternal Council of Negro Churches in America, while Max Yergan appeared for the Nat ional Negro congress. Significantly all of these groups were virtually in accord on the things that Negroes wanted of the Democratic party. The proposed CIO racial plank, which so infuriated southern mem bers of the committee that they threatened to oppose even the mildest anti-discrimination plank, read as fol lows : “The hateful practice of discrim ination because of race, religion or national origin against which we are fighting abroad must be stamped out at home. Anti-Semitic and anti-Ne gro practices undermine the very foundation of our democracy. Full economic, political and civil equality must be guaranteed to every Americ an regardless of race, cree or nation al origin. “We call for the establishment of a permanent Fair Employment Prac tices committee iwth aequate approp riations an enforcement powers. We urge legislation to prohibit activities or propaganda directed against anv individual because of their racial, re ligious or national origin. “We urge the immediate passage of the anti-poll tax bill and the elimin aton of other restrictions on the right to vote.” WOMAN to Sort Rags Apply 320 Pierce St. Open Sunday A plank specifically condemning, “anti-semitism and all forms of rac ism" was sought by Frank Marshall Davis, editor, Associated Negro press who appeared before the committee with two whites, Dr. John A. Lapp, chaiiman, platform committee, Inde pendent Voters Committee of Illinois and Leonard A. Golditch, executive secretary of the National Committee to Combat Anti-Semitism which spon sored the proposed plank. The deadlock over the racial plat fo. m which delayed the report of the resolution committee for more than 48 hours was broken only after Pres ident Roosevelt is reported to have wired Chairman McCormack the com prise platform finally adopted by the committee. The platform was adopted by all the states except the Tennessee del egation which under the leadership 01 the Crump-picked Sen. Robert Mc Kellar, had announced earlier that they would oppose to the last inclus ion of any racial plank. Southern members during the dead lock over the racial plank had at first held out for a repetition of the 1040 racial plank which in part, read: “We i pledge to uphold due process and the equal protection of the laws for ev ery citizen regardless of race, creed or color.” But they were overruled by dele gates from more liberal states, who had been warned earlier by Negro leaders on the scene that this plank would no longer be adequate. The platform as adopted did con tain a plank favoring legislation guar anteeing “equal pay for equal work" but the discrimination would be elim inated on the basis of sex. No men tion was made of eliminating pay dis criminations absed on color. The platform further reaffirmed the Four Freedoms, reviewed the rec ord made by the Roosevelt leadership, pledged the establishment of an inter national organization to preserve the peace, went on record as favoring the establishing of a democratic Jewish nation in Palestine, and expressed de termination of the party to provide jobs and benefits for retu-.iing vet erans and solution of the problem o( post-war employment wph federal aid to workers during the demobilizat:on of industry period. POLICY OF “NO JIM-CROWISM IN REPUBLICAN" CAMPAIGN SAYS BROIVNELL, JR. A policy of no “Jim Crowism" in the Republican Campaign organizat ion was enunciated by Herbert Brownell, Jr., Republican National Chairman, in announcing the appoint ment of Dr. C. B. Powell to the staff of the Committee’s Publicity Division as Assistant Director of Publicity. Dr. Powell, a Negro, will assume his duties immedaitely. Chairman Brownell said, and he will work with the regular publicity staff. fiiiiiiHimiriiKiiuuiiiimiiiiinimiH' | GREEN LANTERN “THE HOME OF GOOD FOODS AND HOME OF GOOD PEOPLE.” Fresh Food, Strictly j Fresh —2116 North 24th— JA-9275 Mr. K Britt, Mgr.
