Washington, DC., Dear Sir: If the Congress of the United States passes so-called “national service” legislation, it will be guil ty of an act of usurpation without parallel in American history. Just eight years ago, this nation adopt ed an amendment to its Constitu tion. the immediate purpose of which was to outlaw black slavery. But the 13 th Amendment was more than that. It was a guaran tee of personal freedom to all men of all races- Only a few months ago the United States Supreme Court declared in the Florida peo nage case that the unquestionable aim of this amendment “was not merely to end slavery but to main tain a system of completely free and voluntary labor.” “National service” is the oppos ite of “free and voluntary labor." It is forced labor. It is the la bor system pioneered by Nazi Germany- It is involuntary serv itude, and involuntary servitude is expressly and explicitly forbidden by the 13th Amendment. ‘National service” would em power the State to force me to take any job it commanded me to take. Should I refuse, it could send me to jail. Should I run a way- it could drag . me back and punish me as if I were a runaway slave. It would deprive me of mv right to strike, no matter how in tolerable the conditions- As a worker. I declare my uncomprom ising opposition to this Nazi-like and unconstitutional measure. As a worker of the Negro race my duty to oppose and to resist is ever more self-evident. A “na tional service” act, no matter how it is adorned with “safeguards” supposedly designed to protect col ored workers, would certainly be ■used to freeze the present patterns of racial discrimination.

When he does he will find a hearty welcome. His skill is needed and he is an honored personal friend. About 60 telephone men and women have already returned and are at work with the Company. We are glad to have them. In meet ing postwar telephone needs, we’ll need their help and that of all the 1,300 others from this Company who are in military service. Meeting peacetime telephone service needs will require not only the help of returning veterans but much material and millions of dollars of new capital which will have to come from people who are willing to invest their savings in the telephone business. NORTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY 'JOIN THE MARCH OF DIMEO.. thing, whoever would administer labor conscription—and it would probably be the draft board— would try to make the pill a little less bitter to the majority of white workers by “dircting” Negroes to the arduous, menial, low-pay jobs The power to conscript is the pow er to discriminate- Bitter exper ience has taught me that there is no “safeguard" against the preju dices of administrators. “National Service” could not help but aggravate racial friction and endanger the workers' aim of class unity. I am not reassured by the quibble that forced labor is temporary. Slavery, even for a week, a month, a year, or for “the duration” is still slavery, and still in flagrant violation of the Consti tution- Moreover once the princ iple is yielded and involuntary ser vitude is submitted to, it will be relatively simple for Congress to extend the act and adapt wartime labor controls to postwar uses. We shall have a manpower prob lem then, too—a manpower prob lem in reverse! Sir. you have taken an oath to j uphold and defend the Constitution May I have your assurance that, in accord with this oath, you cast your vote against every measure designed to reduce the American workers to industrial serfs? Very truly yours. This is what I would write to my Congressmen were I a Negro work er. It is what I would urge my fel low workers to write- I would get a hundred signers to my letter- I would throw the full weight of my influence into the fight to stop the labor draft! _ AMOS W ANDY OVER NBC FRIDAY JAN. 26TH.

John Autroy of 2121 N. 2.7lh Street, Omaha, former Techn ical High half-back, helped his team win the PBS- Garlic Bowl touch football classic held here recently. Record breaking total gains of 142 yards by T-4 Victor Moore of Longansport, Indiana, was the high spot in the victory of Peninsular Base Section’s 522nd Port Battalion over the 12th Depot Supply Squad ron of the Air Corps. The final score was 12 to 6- Every member oi the winning eleevn has seen action at Anzio Beachhead, handling sup plies under heavy enemy fire Reminscent of the traditional Am erican college and Bowl games, the 117th Army Ground Force Band en livened the proceedings during halv es, and the loud, persistent wise cracks made by the many GI. spec tators were typical of those heard at any football game in the States. Touch football, as played by these | two championship teams, is a wide open passing game with thrills and action every minute. It is the most popular winter sport among GI’s in Italy, particularly for player partic ipation- The only requirement need ed is a football, which the PBS Special Service Section supplies by the hundreds to the many units hert Said Pvt. Autroy, “There is no doubt that touch football is going to be another popular American sport when the boys return- Whenever there’s a football around and time off, you’ll find the GI’s choosing sides and getting ready to play touch football- It affords a swell work out”. Colonel Francis H. Oxxt of New*. port, RI.. Commanding Officer of I the Peninsular Base Section, praised the players of both teams and told them that wherever Americans arc assembled “we will have our sports whether right in our own country or ten miles from the front”. The Port Battalion, in which Pvt Autroy is serving, is one of many units of the Peninsular Base Section important Service and Supply organ ization for Fifth Army and for the ground forces of the U-S. Air Corps and Navy in Italy The Special Service Section, which arranged the tournament, is commanded by Lieutenant Colonel William F- Bailey of High Point, N. C.
