RAILROAD NEEDS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORT
ANCE SAYS HEAD
Boston, April (NIPS)—A sober warning that the needs
of the railroads must establish precedence over any other in
dustry in the allocation system of scarce materials for civil
ian use, was voiced by William T. Faricy, AAR head, in re
cent remarks to a local shippers advisory board here.
“The threat of war”, Mr. Faricy stated, “hangs like a
cloud over the entire civilized world, and the tough talk on
Loth sides of the tlantic could scarcely be tougher of we were
really at war. With the exception of the armed forces them
selves. no part of the process of putting ourselves in readi
ness is more important than getting the railroads in shape.”
It was pointed out by the rail head that in World War II
the railroads carried 90 per cent of America’s war freight and
97 per cent of its military traffic. He also stressed the need
for building up the supply of freight cars by citing the fact
that since more cars were junked than were built in the last
two years, there are now 40.000 fewer freight cars in service
than there were at the end of the last war..
LOCAL BELL COMPANY ACCEPTS NEGRO WOMEN
Philadelphia, April (NIPS)—Another battle against the
bias was won by the Armstrong Association here in obtain
ing the employment of two women as tellers in a local Bell
telephone office here. The association'had been recently suc
cessful in getting jobs for two Negro typists in the account
ing department of the company.
It has been noted that while in both New York and New
Jersey, the integration of colored workers not only in the cler
ical departments but as telephone operators has been existent
for the past two years, this is the first step taken by a Pennsy
lvania unit of the system.
Many observers agree that the competence of the colored
woman who has been selected to ‘break the ice’ has been one
one of the most important factors in obtaining further inroads,
and the company heads have accepted the qualifications of
Negroes to satisfactorily perform in any capacity.
INDUSTRY MAY STIMULATE INTEGRATION
Nashville, April (NIPS)—An announcement by a Fisk
University spokesman of a gift by the Carnegie Corporation
of funds to finance a microfilm series on the Negro in Ameri
ca reflects previously indicated observations of the interest
that American industry is taking in the sponsorship of pro
jects in behalf of Negro progress.
Many major corporations are falling into line with the
precedents established by the Carnegie and Rosen wald foun
dations, the Pepsi-cola company, and other major industrial
units, in the fostering of educational and cultural projects
which, many observers say, may be the fore-runners of bet
ter relationship between management and the Negro public.
KANSAS CITY SHOWS BUSINESS CONSCIOU
SNESS
Kansas City, Kansas, April (NIPS)—The increasing bus
iness conciousness of the Negroes of Kansas City is reflected
in the first exposition of Negro business which was held here
recently. Sponsored by a local organization, the occasion wa^
planned, it was revealed, to mark the progress of the Negro
enterprise in this area, and to create a public awarness of this
effort.
It was noted that some twenty-nine business concerns
were represented in the exposition, and the attendance at the
affair was revealed to be encouraging to 'the sponsors, and to
be reflective of a dynamic interest on the part of the city s
residents in the business and industrial life in the area.

L. P.—I'm 23 years of age and
have been going with a man
for five years whom I love with j
all my heart. He loves me. He ’
survived World War II. I
waited for him. We have been j
engaged 4 years . He has given
me the rings, he comes to see
me nearly every night. My pro
blem is—is it wrong for me to
wrant to go ahead and marry
and then find, some place to
stay?
Ans: Not at all—plan your
wedding for an early date. In
the meantime, look around for
any kind of liveable place as
you will not have to make it a
permanent home. Just as soon
as you find an apartment, you
can make a change. But, if you
are going to put off marriage
until you can move into a little
dream flat—it may be some
time yet before you wed. Your
friend is ready for marriage
now—and so are you.
X. A. C.—Please answer this
problem for me in the column.
Wi 1 I get the money to get a
car by my birthday in June?
AXS: Xo—not by the method
you are practicing at this time.
The odds are against you in the
gambling game and you have
already lost enought to begin
realizing this fact. If you want
a car—begin saving the money
you gamble with every month
and in a course of time, you
will 'be able to buy one. I would

THE MUSIC GOES ROUND
AND ROUND!”
That old song reminds me
of the tune “sung” by every
European communist who vis
its America. Immediately af
ter disembarking at an east
coat port, our new “Red sav
iours” begin their chant.
It’s an interesting chant. It
never changes, and it rarely
ever subsides.
These Euopean angels who
come to save us from the evils
0 f captalism and democracy
have adopted a peculiar tech
nique. First, they say we are
corrupt and unworthy of help.
Then the3- present a program
based on communism, natur
ally — which the3' feel will
make Americans acceptable to
the rest of the world.
The statements made by Ir
ene Joliot-Curie. famed French 1
ph\rsicist, during an interview j
with an American newswoman
offer a classic example of the
tirades communists hurl aga
inst the United States.
“You Americans.” she said,

age and a home. I want to
know if I should marry him?
Ans: He realizes now how mu
ch you and the children mean
to him and he wants to assure
his responsibitities—Give him
the opportunity to prove his
sincerity. Don't make the mis
take you did in the past. Go to
him as his legal wife and strive
to make a happy home for him
and the children.
H. W. T.—We are undecided
what to do. We have bought a
spot of land and we want to
know which is best for us to
do, stay on the farm where we
are or move on the place we
bought?
Ans: It's late in the season
now to be making a change as
your husband has his crop well
under way. Stay on where you
are this year, as your husband
wants you to do, and make
your plans to move this fall.
B. M.—I was one of the unfor
tunate girls in the world. I
gave birth to a little girl at an
early age. The man has never
seen the child. I understand he
is supposed to return to visit
his relatives soon. What I wa
nt to know is did he et:er reallv
love me and will he turn us a
side as lie did me before?
Ans: His love at that time was
shallow and the fact that he
was extremely young prohib
ited him from realizing just
what he did to you. He's still
single and you may be able to
win him yet. But, do not fail
all over yourself playing up to
him just because you love him.
Do’nt give one inch—let him
know that the only way he can
have you is by marrying you
first.
“seem scarcely civilized. You
are exactly like the Germans
under Hitler. . . Your noth
ing men are tools who . . are
satisfied with a raise in wages
when they should be organiz
ing to overthrough your gov
ernment.
“You are delibertely foment
ing war. You are imperialists
and you want war. . . You
will attack the USSR but it
will conquer you through the
power of its idea. . . With
or without war, there will 'be
no civilization at all in the U.
S. ten years from now.”
If I weren’t aware that “Ba
be” Curie’s mind is distorted
by hates and deceipt, I would
swear she was attempting to
be funny.
✓ But regardless of her intent.
Miss Curie did prove one thing
that she would have, if willing
a bright future in the Americ
an theater—as a pie-throwing,
ham actor. Certainly none of
America’s present crop of com
edians is capable of such ridi
culous absurdities.
