HARRIS) By Bertha Diggs, Secretary New York State Depi'-tment of Labor The ability to look into the fu ture has been one of man’s great est desires. Today, probably more than ever before in the history of the world, all of us are deeply concerned about what is to come. Our objective is the attainment of *a real, lasting peace in which there will be assurance of full justice and protection of all peo iples from oppression^ Such an objective is worthy of any sacri fice. We have not yet obtained that objective. There still remains much to be done. During the war we heard much about the urgent need for full p’ar ticipation by all people in some part of the fight. The pressure of a national emergency ripped a way the mantle of hypocrisy that cloaked many shabby spots on the foundation garment of American democracy. In these post-war years, and in the immediate years to come, the stake of the minority is a large one. To achieve it, there must be no let down in the fight for equal ity and integration. Industry today is poised on the threshhold of *a vastly expanded domain. To the progress it had al ready made has now been added new processes and products, most of them evolved during the war. The labor movement today has reached dimensions greater th’an ever before. Labor in the United States is the very essence of our democracy. This does not mean that labor has no faults within its own movement. We all know that such do exist. Labor is also ■aware of them. But if these de ficiencies are to be corrected, the job must be done with the help of everybody involved. Most cer tainly minorities are involved in the labor movement. The key to the future lies, too, in political activity. Under our form of government “we the peo ple” have the sole right to decide which course the nation must follow. It is up to all of us who look forward honestly to an endu rable peace to work now for that future. Through use of our political power we can pass a FEPC bill in Washington. We can establish firmly such principles as may be necessary to protect our economy and stabilize our industrial life. Most of all, we can cle’an house of those who have lost the vision of a dynamic, progressive Amer ica in which men and women shall have equal social treatment, an equal ch’ance in life. An America of self respecting working men and women free of bias and ex ploitation- aware of the One World in which we live, ready to lead that world into a new area of peace, cooperation and prosperity among all the peoples of the world. —APA— Acts To Save Wyatt Housiig Progr a* NEW YORK — The NAACP •added its support to the rapidly growing campaign action over the tragic lack of housing. With alarmingly increasing indications that President Truman considers scrapping Housing Expediter Wy att's program for factory-built homes in favor of his long-time friend and advisor director George Allen of the Reconstruction Fin ance Corp., who bitterly opposes the housing program, the NAACP began mobilizing its forces for what appears to be an impending battle. President Trum'an was in receipt of a strong statement today, which expressed the stand taken by the Association. In a state ment addressed to the Chief Ex ecutive, the NAACP declared, the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People is deeply concerned with the tragic lack of housing especially for Ne gro veterans. This shortage is one of the chief causes of such success as organizaions like the Columbi ans and Ku Klux Klan have had to date. Situations facing Negro veterans and others can only be solved by continued price and ma terials control and vigorous af firmative support by you of the Wyatt veterans 'emergency hous ing program. We urge you to act now to save housing program from collapse and assure cooper ation of all branches of govern ment of national housing agency.’ FALL INJURIES F A T A L TO PACKING HOUSE WORKER Capt.John Adams Jr., Passes California Bar Exams Word was received in Omaha this week that Capt.

Finley Wilson’s Plea for Dissolution of Imperial’s State Corporation In dispensing his Court Order for a new election, which would be representative of the entire membership of the Lodge, Judge James B. M. McNally tacitly ig nored the frenzied pleas of J. Fin ley Wilson and his co-Counsel. Attorneys Perry Howard and Watts, that Imperial Lodge break down or dissolve their N. Y., State Corporation immediately and turn ed over the member’s property to Elkdom’s Grand Lodge. Inste’ad, he made the above ruling and ad journed the case until December 13th. Imperial Lodge’s property holdings, which are owned exclu sively by the members, are listed at approximately $500,000 with a yearly revenue of over $100,000. Case Began Wh^n Wilson Was Served Summons in Buffalo At the Elks Convention J. Finley Wilson. Grand Exalted Ruler of the IBPOE of W started ,the present legal wrangle when he according to Mr. Arthur Brisbane exalted ruler of Imperial Lodge, arbitrarily and dictatorlally sus pended the Lodge January 3, 1946 for failure to break down the Lodges Corporation and turns the members property over to the Grand Lodge. When he failed Jo pay any heed to J. Finley Wilson’s suspension order. The court fight was initiated when Leonard H.

Imperial’s Attorn eys, Sidney Hirsh and Edwin Lad den, had offered a suggestion that all other issues be set aside and a new election be held to decide just who the membership wanted for their leader. But Mr. Brisbane declared, “this proposition was flatly rejected by the Grand Ex alted Ruler and His Counsel, Perry Howard and Watts, who in their refusal to accept this pro position, stated that they first w-anted the property turned over to the Grand Lodge and the Cor poration broken down after which they would be willing to consider anything.” Mr. Brisbane feels that Imperial Lodge No. 127 and the Elks lod ges throughout the jurisdiction have won a complete moral and technical victory over a dictatorial leader, J. Finley Wilson, and an arbitrary power-mad Grand Lodge who have been is power too long.” FIRST COLORED WOMENS LEGIOy POST CHARTERED CHICAGO.

The case, Westminster School Board vs. Mendez, Involves an ap_ peal by the local school authori ties of Orange County, California from a Federal District Court ru ling that segregating school chil dren of Mexican of Latin descent into separate schools is a violation of the 14th Amendment. The significance of the Ameri can Jewish Congress’ brief rests in its argument that segregation per se. irrespective of the so called ed equality of the facilities invol ved, is discriminatory and there fore unconstitutional. Since 1896 so called Jim Crow segregation laws, state enforced, have been up held where the facilities for segre gated groups are considered equal to those provided others.

The meeting under the auspices of the | New York Branch NAACP, cli maxed the Goth'am drive for 10, 000 new members. Mrs. Pandit, acclaimed one of her country’s great leaders as well as among the world’s truly beautiful women, has recently been making headlines because of her frequent sharp clashes at Lake Success, Long Island, where the United Nations General As sembly is convening, with General Jan Christian Smuts and other members of South Africa which arbitrarily demands annexation of Southwest Afric’a, a source of. much mineral and material riches, j Her consistent championing of j the rights of colored peoples in ■ general and of Indians specifically has moulded a career of extreme interest. Bom into luxury forty six years ago ’as a daughter of one of India’s most powerful law yers she nevertheless has devoted her life to the arduous and some times thankless task of seeking India’s freedom through work with the Congress party. Twice in 1930 and again in 1932, she was jailed by the British for her ac tivities. Yet in 1937 she emerged as the first woman Cabinet min ister when the Congress party formed a government in the Uni ted Provinces, and now she is the first and only woman to head 'a delegation to the United Nations General Assembly.

(Calvin’s News Service—New Workers were amazed by a report carried as an exclusive in a western sheet sug gestion there had been a rift in the Congressman Adam C. Pow ell-Hazel Scott household. Invest igation indicates the report to be a slap from a disgruntled press agent with an itchy palm. Most New Yorkers consider the story a model of wishful thinking that will never come true.

Prepared by NAA CP legal counsel, assisted by pow erful liberals with years of top level Washington experience, this brief is expected to provide a sen sational legal basis for the expul sion of the violently anti-Negro anti-Semitic Mississippi demago gue, when the hearings get under way in Mississippi on Monday. Atty. Charles H. Houston, of Wa shington. D. C„ will represent the NAACP during the hearings. Atty. Houston, in Washington today, declared th'at it would pro bably require special permission from the special committee in charge of the hearings before the lethal brief, which he considers a most comprehensive one in terms of legal and other pressing ele-. ments, can be presented. In his opinion, the NAACP brief will I provide the most practical b'asis for the Senate’s right to act in the unseating of Bilbo. Mr. Hou ston, is expected to remain in Miss at least one week and perhaps two. In addition to the brief, he will carry a substantial amount of photostatic material which he ex pects to aid materially in the action. Supporting the major role which the NAACP legal staff is expec ted to play in the historic hear ings, NAACP branches in Mississ* ippi have courageously planned to provide Negro witnesses whose testimony may prove to be da maging to the Mississippi Sena tor’s denial to charges of intimi dating Negro voters. Walter White, NAACP Execu tive Secretary, ‘although optimist ic over Atty. Houston’s chances i of being heard during the hear- j ings, disclosed the contents of a letter from Senator Allen J. Ell ender, Louisiana Democrat which was in answer to the, NAACP’s request to actively participate. In his letter to the NAACP he‘ad, Senator Ellender, chairman of the investigating committee quoted from a resolution introduced by a Republican, Senator Bourke B. Hickenlooper of Iowa. Part of the resolution stated. ’•.. further, that witnesses be limited, unless other wise ordered by the committee to either complainants or those who m‘ay answer complaints or offer statements or testimony to citi zens of the State of Mississippi, which is the situs of this com plaint. It is expected that Senator Bilbo will attempt to rush the hearings in an effort to eliminate testimony from a large number of witness es. Attempts will also undoubted ly be made to exclude recent ma terial contained in articles expo sing Bilbo in The Saturday Even ing Post, Colliers and other peri* odicals and radio broadcasts.

Gen. Tom Clark in Washington today. Atty. Gen. Clark, whose de partment of Justice is charged with the responsibility of protec ting the civil rights of Americans when the local protective agen cies fail to do so, has only recent ly expressed a determination to discourage southern violence 'a gainst Negroes. In a prepared statement, the NAACP body declared, “the com mittee on administration of the NAACP urges prosecution under Section 20 of the United States Criminal Code of peace officers who viciously attacked Thurgood Marshall, Z. Alexander Looby and Maurice Weaver near Columbia, Tennessee on November 18. This latest outrage, following upon the failures of United States attorneys to handle properly the grand jury proceedings in the Columbia riot case and the prosecution of Police Chief Shull for blinding Isaac Woodward, are encouraging mobs to take law into their own hands ' n®t only against individual citi zens but now upon lawyers while they are engaged in defending vie tims of mob attack. We urge prompt and unequivocal action.

The group.. largest taken at an Omaha establishment in many months, .was arrested early Sun day by members of the Police Morals Squad at the Business Men’s Club, 2310 North Twenty fourth Street. The club at 2:15 a. m. presented a cross-section of practically every thing the police view as objec tionable in private club operations said Police Capt. Jack King. Considerable beer and whiskey was being consumed by the pa trons. The raider’s watched an attendant sell ‘shots’ of whiskey and take orders for others after they entered. This despite the fact that the club has no liquor license. In a side room the raiders found an alleged poker game in progress. Two slot machines were found . .one in the main lounge, another in a back room. The operators could produce no license for a cigaret machine in the club. A jittery patron, apparently wishing to avoid questioning, and possible arrest, threw a pistol and half a box of cartridges under a table. umiiilHmuiimmiunt... —*.. - -- - I a _ s I CJ\S Round-bp | Fuss On A Bus NEW YORK, (Calvin’s News Service).-Stanley Conyer, 40, of this city, really thought he was somewhere when he got himself a job driving one of those mad bus ses on Madison Avenue. All he had to worry about (he thought) was careless pedestrians and passeng ers who wouldn’t move to the rear of the bus. Last week he found out he really had something to worry about. While he was stopped for a red light, a gunman hopped aboard and immediately pulled his rod and began shooting it out with the police who were chasing him. Bullets flew all around Conyer’s head, and he had a bad time of it until the cops nailed the bandit. The stlck-up man died later.., Conyer just escaped having a ner vous break down.

BeU) In this postwar world of action and atomic ideas the tim# has come for Negro institutions to revamp themselves and really get down to the all-important task of serving and ben efitting the great masses of the race. The usual postwar trek of our people leaving the South has begun and the majority of those who leave will settle in the large cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Philadel phia, New York, where many of them will fall easy prey to unscruplous employers, sex purveyors, cheap con men, and all of the other evils that lurk in the city shadows to snare the uninitiated.
