LANDMARK FOR PEACE W'ilmettet, 111.— (Official Navy Photo)—Used as a landmark during the war by Naval aviators at nearby Glenview Air Base, the Baha’r Temple here, near Chicago, continu es to stand out as a symbol of peace. Among architects the Tem ple is recognied as one of the out standing edifices of its kind in the dedicated to the international broth erhood of man and universal peace, is followed in 78 countries by ad herents yhose sole purpose is to further the principles of the Faith THE SOUTHERNERS HAVE IT. . With the temporary defeat of the Fair Employment Prac tice Bill, Southern senators are gloating over the fact, not that they were successful in defeating fair employment practices, but more over maintaining State Rights. To th vart any infringement on State Rights was the main issue of southern senatorial opposittion. Gettting the sup port o ftheir constituents back home was easy for they knew that all necessary was to publicize the old bugaboo of social equality. They kneu their constituents would no; or could not read th eprovisions of the bill, even if they did know that White supremacy would,’ render them blind or uncon scious to anything else. This is just as true today as it was before the war. The annihilation of that theory was taken from America to Ger many after causing millions of men to lose their lives has not enlightened tile people at all. What were the objections to the President’s Fair Em ployment Practice Commission? Ignorance to its provisions seems to be the most logical answer. In simple language, the bill only phobbiits discrimina tion in employment because of race, creed, color, national origin and ancestry. It only applies to agencies of the Fed oral Government; employers of six or more persons who op rations affect interstate or foreign commerce, and fed eral contractors and sub-contractors who employ six or more persons. Is that undemocratic? If it is, what about this: “AH persons horn or naturalized in the United States, and sub ject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States; nor s!ia 1 any Stale deprive any person of life, lbierty, or pro perly, without equal protection of the laws.” Or what about this? “The right of citizens of United Stales to vote shall not be denied- or abradged by the Uni ted States o rby any State on account of race, color, or pre vious condition of servitude.” These are amendments to the Constitution. The first was adopted in 1868. and made clear that Negroes were citizens. The second was adopted in 1870 to secure Negro suffrage and to prevent Nccroes from being disfranchised. Now to deny the Negroes these, according to southerners is demo cratic. StiM they 3re part of our Constitution. Something is wrong somewhere. . . If it is undemocratnc t oguarantee fair employment to citizens of the United States. and undemocratic to deny citizens privileges guar anteed them by the Constitution. Somebody has the bull by th" '- ron'T end, or the Constitution isn't worth a damn. Il has been evidenced that it was poor stratetgv on the part of politicos after the south was defeated and whipped into the union to trade State Rights for party support. The South got the power it welcomed, for it gave southerners th e right to deal with the Negro the way they saw fit. To day that power has become detrimental to the eniire struc ture of a demo- ratio couuntry. and if not curbed soon, is likely to cause the overthrow of entire America. Already the tradiotions of the South have made it th » { mre't sretimi of America, the most illiterate, the poorest in kea’th; anil that alone has cos! the North. East, and West mere than their share of casualties in our Jate world strug gle. Tl;is is in addition to making America a menace to world’s peace. True southerners know this to be true. They know something, sooner or later must be done. This much is admitted in many circles. Still they fight and oppose any thing offered to better the conditions from other sections. “We must work out our own program," they say. Yet, no body offers a program for any substitution.

Chester Bow: es has been named to the post of Director of the Office of Economic Stabilization- President Truman appointed the two men to their new posts last week and at the same time announced a new wage price! policy. The modified policy, aimed at ending the national steel strike and other industrial strife -yyill per mit price increases to compensate industry for the current pattern of reconversion wage boosts. fers some form of program that will destroy the evils of this section, and comes to the realization that the biologic al difference in the color of one’s skin has nothing to do with his supremacy, it will always be filibustering against legislation from the North, East and West in an attempt to save the democratic principles upon which this country was built. WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY PLANS FOUNDERS DAY CELEBRATION Wilberforce University will observe its 90th anniversary of continuous operation under the same educational title and designation with a special Founders Day celebration on Sunday February 24. The program for the day will begin with a radio broad cast from station WLW. featuring an address by Dr. Char les H.

If the spring construction increased production activit ies are as greaf as anticipated, many workers will be needed to meet the demand. Public Law 346 now provides increased advantages for W orld W ar II veterans, subsistence allowances were in creased from $50.00 to $65.00 per month for single men, and from $75.00 to $90.00 per month for married men. The new law states there are no restrictions, therefore, an; veteran is entitled to the full amount of training as hi* length of service entitles him to. The 4 nited States Employment Service is making a sus I tained effort to broaden this field of work for co'ored vet ! erans. Employers who are interested in providing jobs or train ing jobs for these veterans, should contact the United Stat es Employment Service. If yours is a “G.I. Training Pro gram'"’, this office will provide necessary applica::on and training blanks, and will assist you in organizing a training program.

Dr. R. T McGraw of the Administrator’s Office of the Nationa' Housin'? Arrcncy said. * Dr. McGraw called attention to the interest of minority groups in the very real danger of further inflate*: real es tate prices and the advice offered to home buyers by Com missioner Foley of the Federal Housing Administration in a recent news release explaining the FHA’s unbiased apprais al system. In addition to advisin'? nrosnective home hovers to con sult their local lending institutions to obtain FHA apprais als for them. Commissioner Foley urged “Families who are going to buy homes should not be misled and should not be persuaded by spurious arguments into buying homes on i an unsound basis”* Mr. Foley further stated, “The FHA provides a safe fin AT 1 anced method. Under the FHA plan, the average family obtains the services of technically trained valuators, ap praisers, and inspectors. When a mortgage is submitted for FHA insurance, the staff of the Administration a .0.^1 office examines the property, the neighborhood, and the whole mortgage transaction. Many of the mistakes com mon in previous mortgage financing are thus avoided.” Even if the purchase of the home is not to be financed under the FHA plan, prospective home buyers can now ob tain an FHA appraisal of the property at a cost of $10 by consulting local lending institutions and requesting a con ditional FHA committment on loan insurance.

We are all somebody’s custom ers. Likewise, we all have our customers. Did you ever stop to think that an employer is a customer? He is a customer for somebody’s serv ice. This has been almost forgotten in recent years. Few people think anymore of giving an employer his money’s worth. ■ - ■ .. —'.
