- Well-equipped recreation rooms at USO clubs and centers bring a “touch
of home” to soldiers and sailors in camps throughout the western hemisphere.
USO-Camp Shows gets a hearty welcome from an all-Negro
audience in an un-named training camp.
Time out for chow—and Flo Robinson, comedienne, enjoys both the food
land the GI company. With Ferdie Robinson, comedian; Kenneth Spencer,
singer- Julie Gardner, accordionist; and Ann Lewis, singer, she toured the
islands' of the South Pacific. Theirs was the first USO-Camp Shows Negro
unit to play this area. USO-Camp Shows is financed through the National War
Fund and its affiliated community war funds.

» To supplement the 2,400 paid Negro workers |
at USO centers, there are approximately 75,000
volunteer men and women serving as hostesses^
and hosts, in the approximately 300 all-Negro !
clubs and centers in continental United States. The
300 centers are not the only USO facilities for Ne-^
gro soldiers, sailors, and WACS, for many of them
stationed in northern areas are served in USO cen
ters that service all forces regardless of color. Fi
nanced by the contributions of the American pub
lic through local community war funds to the Na
tional War Fund, of which it is a member agency,
USO is filling an important responsibility in pro
viding relaxation and recreation for service men
and women. In addition, these centers have been of
great value to Negro communities, many of which
have never had the services of trained social
workers. j

NAACP Warns Member-!
ship Against Candidates
Stirring Race Hate
New York—Memorandum from \
the National Office NAACP has |
been sent out to more than 9001
branches and Youth Councils I
throughout the country calling at-1
tention to the techniques and prop
aganda being used in the present
campaign to stir up race hate.
Stressing the Association’s basic
non-partisan stand, the memo read
as follows:
“The National office feels it
imperative to call to the attention
of its brancehs and members that
racial and religious prejudice is
being used in this present cam
paign as in none other since the
poisonous Hoover-Smith fight in
1928.
“A man has been signaled out
for attack because he is a Jew, be
cause he was born in Russia, and
because—like millions of other
Americans—he came to this
country 36 years ago to improve
his lot- The attacks on this man
have gone far beyond the ordi
nary and expected political attacks
during a campaign. They have
sunk to the slimy level of ugly and
unashamed racial, religious and
class hatred.
“The National Office warns the
branches and the members that
those parties and those candidates
preaching this kind of prejudice
and hatred, or condoning such
preaching, are a menace to the
true aspirations of Negro Ameri
cans.

“Our goal from the beginning
has been the wiping out of racial
and religious prejudices. We have
fought unswervingly toward this
end. No man or group using the
vicious weapon of racial or re
ligious prejudice can be trusted by
us. Today others are the target;
tomorrow we may be the object
of organized hatred.
“The candidates are there for
you to choose, from the highest
office in the land down to the low
liest office in your localities. Ex
amine the men and the parties
with care. Challenge them on the
issue of racial and religious prej
udice. Make it clear that Negroes
are more than alarmed at this type
of campaign and that they view
with distrust any man or group
using race prejudice as an argu
I ment for support.”

Taxpayers’ Money Should
Be Handled by Capable,
Experienced Men....
In this modern age we are living in
one kind of success is measured by a
man's ability to become successful in
a business way. There are many
other forms of success, but our coun
ty's business and the taxpayers' mon
ey must be handled by men capable
of operating the over-all picture of a
large business; men who know and
understand modern business methods
and procedures.
Carl W. Renstrom, owner and op
erator of Tip-Top Products Co-, O
maha, Nebraska, a nationally-known
manufacturing establishment, is of
fering his services at the coming el
ection as one of our County Commis
sioners. Carl W. Renstrom, like ev
eryone of us, wants to see the coun
ty’s Dusness run in an efficient, busi
nesslike and courteous manner. Rare
ly do we have the opportuntiy of ob
taining the counsel and services of
men who head-up the industrail life
of our community, and spending ten
mililon dollars of th taxpayer’s mon
ey each year is big business and
should be handled by men of proven
qualifications.
Many people haveasked the ques
tion, if Carl W. Renstrom is runn
ing for County Commissioner why
doesn’t he attend the many political
meetings, bingo parties, etc-, through
out the city Truth is, he is putting
in practcally all his time, night and

these new contracts is let to a capable
manufacturer in this territory it I
means jobs for people in Douglas
County; jobs today and jobs for Gl

Renstrom says it is either drop his
work on w’ar contracts and go out
campaigning or stay on the job and
keep these war contracts running so

does not “campaign”. Certainly it

of Oinaha and Douglas County cit
