NEWSREELS OF NEGRO UNITS IN INVASION, AVAILABLE . • New York—Assistant Secretary of War, John J. McCloy, announced that the War Department is taking newsreel footage of the accomplish ment:; of Negro soldiers in France and other parts of the European the atre of operations, which will be a vailable to all newsreel companies. In a letter to Walter White, Mr. McCloy stated, “Carlton Moss who played the leading role in The Negro Soldiei" has been sent to the Europ ean Theater of Operations by the War Department. “Mr. Moss has been working with Signal Corps di rectors and cameramen filming a comprehensvie record of the work of Negro soldiers both in combat and in the vital job of speeding supplies to ■ the front.” The information came in response to the NAACP's letter of August 24 to Secretary of War Stimson asking that the War Department do more to assure broad film coverage of the ac tivities of Negro troops. Newsreel companies have been advised and urg ed to make available this material. “It is our hope,” said Mr. White, “that you will utilize this material a* far as possible for distribution to white as well as Negro theaters.” I' Our Record Proves that the simplest funeral ! can be as reverent and dignified ' as the most lavish.

McCaw) NEW YORK—With the anti-Ne gro South dictating, the United Stat es Army has yet to adopt a policy on the treatment of Negro personnel, and under the National Democratic Administration’s influence, it is still floundering and committing colossal blunders as it feebly attempts to handle the color problem on both battlefield and in training camps. This situation was forcefully brought out by a hardhitting editorial in the Norfolk Journal and Guide last week entitled, “The Fruits of a Day-to Day Folicy.” “That the Army has no policy yet on ihe Negro,” declared the Journal and Guide, “on his utilization and dis position, was again evidenced this week by disclosure that it has set up the first of segregated redistribu tion centers for returned veterans of its ground forces; and this on the heels of the commendable (if widely ignored) order of Adjutant General Ulio banning discrimination at facil “Time and Tide Wait on No Man” . .NOW IS THE TIME TO GET YOUR SHOES REBUILT. Quality Material and Guaranteed Quality Work” LAKE SHOE SERVICE 2407 Lake Street Thomas Edison Said ... **There is far more danger in public monopoly than there is in private monopoly, for when the government goes into business it can always shift its losses to the taxpayers. IF IT GOES INTO THE POWER BUSINESS, IT CAN PRETEND TO SELL CHEAP POWER AND THEN COVER UP ITS LOSSES. The government never really goes into business, for it never makes ends meet.” The history of our business-managed electric company shows a steady record of improved service at steadily cheaper rates. Nebraska Power customers now receive nearly twice as much electric service for the money in their homes as they did only fifteen years ago . . . even though the Company’s taxes have nearly trebled in the same period. Nebraska Power’s total tax bill for the past twelve months was more than $2,000,000.

(Continental) NNPA Executives Meet In Chicago Last Week Tl.i; Executive Committee of the Negro Newspaper Publishers Assoc iation met n Chicago Friday and Sat uri'.av. Stp'ember 15 an 16. Members of the Committee who were present were: Howard H. Mur phy. Afro-American Newspapers; A'txander Barnes, Washington Tri bune; Frank L. Stanley, Louisville Defender; Carter Wesley, Houston Informer; William O. Walker, Cleve land Call Post; Mrs. Robert L. Vann ities on Army posts. “Once again,” the Journal and Guide points out, “it becomes clear that, beore the war, the Army had no policy and probably no plans to use any but a bare minimum ol Negro troops. Instead of beginning with an amendment to the Selective Service Act prohibiting racial discrimination it has met probledls as they have a risen, compromising on some, moving backward on others, and occasionally getting on firm, democratic ground. But no fixed determination or guid ing pdinciple by which to deal in a specific way with each question was in existence, nor has come into ex istence, except in a piece-meal way.” Praising the fact that the Army un der pressure of public opinion admit ted Negro men to the Air Forces and sent them overseas, and commit ted sleected combat Ptype units to ac tion such as the 93rd Division, the 54th Coast Artillery Regiment and the 24th Infantry, the Journal and Guide declares, “They are steps for ward. But the confusing and discour aging factor is that for each such step ahead there is a comparable step backward,” noting that, “such units as the 369th Regiment (famed as New York’s Fighting 15th) trained for combat, are given routine guard duty. Oters are converted to service and stevedore units. One, trained for over two yeads, not counting its peace time preparation as a National Guard unit, got overseas, but was given non combat duty even though General Mark Clark requested it for a com bat assignment with his Fifth army. Similar illustrations could be multi plied,’ observes the Journal and the Guide.

ACTION TO ELIMINATE DISCRIMINATION BARRIERS IN INDOSTRY. Citing the need for Government action to eliminate discriminatory barriers in industry, Mal'olm Ross, Chairman of the President’s Comm ittee on Fair Employment Practice, stated before the Senate Subcomm ittee on Education and Labor th<t “the way out of the economic swamp for minority workers is to raise their productivity to their highest potential level. ’ In testimony before the Commit tee. headed by Senator Dennis Out v 7. (Dem. N. Mex.) in which wit nesses were heard for the bill to cs ‘atlish v permanent Fair Emp.m - men» Practice Commission, Ross oweli at length on the cost of racial and religious discrimination to the ccno.r.v of the entire nation, and urg ed governmental action to cover the hffuult adjustments in the recan version and peacetime period ahead ‘Acton by the Congress to relwve economic depression among pariLiit ar groups would be but a conti.uiat ion oi the national policy establish ed ity the Fair Labor Standards and Social Security Acts,” Ross said.

They comprise a smaller percentage in mining, man ufacturing, transportation and comm unication than they had 30 years be fore in 1910.” Ross stated. “A dis passionate and objective analysis ot American peacetime manpower in 1941 would have shown a vast under utilization of Negro workers.” Pointing out that as late as 1942 only three percent of war industry workers were non-white, Ross said the rapid rise in non-white employ ment to almost eight percent in prime war industries in less than two years was due to efforts of many people and agencies, acting under the guid ance cf the President's non-discrim ination policy. In Government serv ice, he pointed out, the trend was con stantly upward and at present 12 per cent i f all Federal employees are Ne groes. Turning from the relatively good condition in which the Negro indust rial worker finds himself today, FE PC’s chairman emphasized the diffic ulties which can be expected in the near future, citing recent announce ments by production officials of cut backs in aircraft, U. S. Maritime and other war contracts. “The fact is that the war industreis in which Ne groes have made their most impress ive gains are exactly those which must be cut back most deeply in re coversion,” Ross said, mentioning shipbuilding, aircraft, iron and steel, ordnance, mining, ammunition and other industries where Negroes have found wartime employment. “In ad dition to the deep cuts these indus tries must take, the Negro wwkers in them have, in general, less on-the job seniortiy and wll be let off in pro portionately greater numbers.” Ross reminded the Committee of the riots when cutbacks brought em ployment insecurity after the last war; and asked, “that men of good will take practical steps now to see that equal opportunity to earn a liv NEGRO DOLLS!
