Tire National Urban League would prefer that these so-called educational re sponsibilities m the Commission be cut out ol any bill that is of fered.” Concluding the statement. Granger said, "The important question is whether the democrat ic gains in employment that have been made as a result of the war emergency shall be prolonged into the post-war period with the as sistance of authority exerted by the State. There can be but one constructive answer to this ques tion, and the proposals of the Ives Commission are intendel to sup ply part of that answer. For this reason, the National Urban League approves the bill which will be offered this week in the New York State Legislature.’ SIX NEGRO WOMEN ARRIVE IN INDIA gurance tliat the authority of the state is exerted to protect the right to employment without dis- in the USO club at Fa.

Fur ther more, he will assist the vet eran in getting information as to the extent to which regulations of other federal agencies niay af fect business. ‘OPA price and rationing reg ulations affect veterans as busi nessmen or potential businessmen. Some of O'ir price regulations have clauses in them wmich re strict the field to those who were in it before a certain date. Sev eral of our rationing regulations, especially in the case of sugar, fats and oils .have a similar ef fect. "We are well along the pro cess of amending our price and rationing regulations to meet this problem. "In formulating these revisions of our regulations we are keeping in close touch with other federal agencies exercising allocation powers so that all the business needs of a veteran entering a new business ma be considered under a uniform government policy. In discussing this policy with other agencies we do not want to delay our actions any longer than al^ solutely necessary.” In announcing the special OPA program to aid returning war vet erans. Johnson pointed out that the overall OPA job of price and rent control and rationing like wise is of great benefit to all ser vicemen and their families. "First, the immediate job of O- PA is to hold down the cost of living. This is obviously in the biterest of veteians, servicemen, their families and dependents, who represent one of the largest segments ol our people having a heavy stake in ihe success of price Icontrol and rationing. The value of servicemen’s pay and family 'allotments, veterans benefits, in- 'surance, disability allowances and loans are ail obviously affected by the price they have to pay. Consequently, we are undertak- big special enforcement and com pliance campaigns in areas in whioh there are important ti-ain- ing camps, rehabilitation centers or other military or naval instal- lulio,is. "Second, in order to aid thj cause for which the veteran has fought, we must ration scarce cummixlities to assu-e tihat they are used with maxim-jm effec tiveness in winning the war. Fur example, we must be sure that the criiicMly sliort supply of large size truck tires is distributed ex clusively to most essential acti vities. "Third, OPA is trying to pre- sei-ve a stable economy during the war period and as long afterward as inflationary pressui'es last. "Veterans, like the rest of us, want to get rid of price conti'ol and rationing as soon as condi tions permit. But, like the rest of us, they want to see these con trols woi'k while the dangers of sharply rising prices and unfair disli'ibution of limited supplie still lace us. "They have before them liie'civilian life and haven't let us help memory of w^ial happened after j tliem over the hurdles because they the lust war, when the veteran's idmi't team soon enough that we problem m getting a job or re-1 have the allowances available.** eiilering busmess was aggravut-, The Commission has heard the ed by the collapse that lollowed sworn testimony of veterans on ap- tlie inflationary pariod of 1914-19- pvat, who vlaim they are entitled 2U.

A FOR LARGER WOMEN For Lack Of Informa tion Veterans Failing To Get Allowances RALEIGH — Declaring that "A distressing situation is occurring In this State," Col. A. L. Fletcher, Chairman of the Unemployment Lompensution Cummission, reported today that the commission's recent uporatiotis with regard to paying adjustment allowances to veerans who do nut immediately find em ployment are bringing to light more and more situations in which vet erans, while going to considerable effort to find suitable jobs for tbem- .selves, did not apply for and draw aitowances because "nobody told me I should.” F'letchcr stated that for the month of January, the Commission paid 3,442 veterans without Jobs the sum of $75,755.00. This is the larg est amount for any month since the finding a good Job. That's what these payments Iasi September, and brings the total paid through January up to $184,126.00. "I'm glad we have been able to give these boys the life we have In •he period between their return and finding a good job. That's wht these ■G. 1.* allowances were set up for,** Fletcher said. "But what d'sturbs me is the other side of the picture those other boys who are making j every effort ot gel reestablished in UiSlI.NGL'lSIlEU SERVICE MLUAL AWARDED GENERAL B. O.

Wright, advisor ol Kappa Delta chapter at Hamp ton Institute. Lean 1. A. Derbig- ny of Tuskegee Institute presided at this session, which also includ ed roll call, reports from oh^- ters, and the meeting of commit tees. A banquet for .the visitqp took place early Tlmrsday evening, with an address by President W. U. Gray ol Florida A. and M.

Ima by the Unemployment Com- pensauon Commission, and that these would have carried him through the difficult period ol locat ing his Job. Then there was another veteran — a veteran of two wars in fact, and a resident of Raleigh — who went to some lengt bon his own to get back into his former line of work, that of a skilled radio techni cian. After many weelc he was re- employed by his old company, the mean.lme, he contacted sever- a lotficials and tried to contact oth er agencies supposed to assist veter ans but these he could not see be cause they were out. to learn about his '‘rights.’* He was passed from person to person — one of whom told him about the readjustment al lowance of $20 a week. Before he got back to work, he and his fami ly used up a large part of their sav ings, when the allowance would have helped out. “From the Commission's point of view, such cases are deplorable,'* Fletcher said, "Yet they illustrate the problem we face in handling allowances when the vital contact with the veteran is so often made through the personnel of agencli* over which we have no control. We should like be able to give lh»- veterans better services — both finding employment for them and cnabUng them to draw their readjustment oUowances in the In terim.** NAACP ATTORNEYS BLOCK REMOVAL OF PENN. NEGRO TO ALABAMA (Continued from page 1) _ believed that this is the first time a Negro who fled a southern state on threat of mob violence and lynchiM has ever been sought under the Fugitive Felon Act. T^iS is the second time John son has won his freedom in the space of a year. Last April Talla dega County authorities sought his extradition on a charge of at tempting to kill his white land lord. The governor of Pennsyl vania had already signed the ex tradition papers when Johnson and his lawyers went into the Common Pleas Court and recited the story of what had happened to Johnson in Alabama. Judge MeWherter thereupon denied the extradition, stating that in his opinion Johnson would not get a fair trial in Alabama and might be .lynched. This new action was initiated by the federal authorities in the Northern District of Alabama on the theory that Johnson had left the jurisdiction with intent to a- void prosecution. The whole question of the use of the Federal IHigitive Felon Act in a case like this was referred to Attorney General Biddle and Victor Rotnew, Chief of the Civil Rights Seclim by Special Coun sel Marshall. The case was stud ied and reviewed by the Civil Rights Division and tfie matter was discussed with United States Attorney Smith for the Northern District of Alabama, the wmten- ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ tion of Johnson’s attorneys and the NAACP being that Congress enacted this statute to close the channels of inter-state commerce to racketeers, gangsters and kid napers and not to assist the states in the extradition of citizens from cmc state to ano&er. Johnson was represented by the law firm of Smith and Smith of Greensburg, Pa., Homer Brown of the NAACP National Legal Com mittee, Thurgood Marshall, N. A. A. C. P. Special Counsel and Rob ert L.

Thursday, Feb. 8, as the tribunal declared through the opinion of Judge Warren Grice that decisions by the United States Supreme Court in recent years were depriving .States of their sovereignty. The action of the Court upheld the conviction of seventeen year- old David Watkins who had been sentenced to death for the alleged killing of Mrs. J. J. Connell, a sixty-eight year old white woman, in a $2000 robbery at Macon, Ga. To add support to his conten tion Justice Grice dug up an 16- 54 Georgia decision assigning to the Georgia Court co-equality with the U. S. Supreme Court. He continued that under the expand ing powers of the Federal Gov ernment "one is led to wonder if 'the States, once sovereign, have not become little more than geo graphical subddvlsions of a con solidated government.’* I Giving Judicial respect to the decision reached in the Scottaboro case in which N^roes convicted 'of assault were given a new trial on finding that Negroes were sys tematically and arbitrarily ex- cl’jded from Jury rolls because of color the Georgia Court said that this decision did not contravene the U. S. Supreme Court ruling in the Scottmoro affair. “When $ the power to effectually resist is lacking,” said Justice Grke, “it is no use to kick.” I The decision also sufnorted the contention of Prosecuting Attor ney Charles H. Garrett of Bibb County, Ga., that he was within his ri^ts in keeping Negroes it criminal court case juries since 11919 throuA the exercise of per- .emptor yimallenges. I Mr. Garrett said “that we have not reaoher the point in the social affairs of Georgia, which would make it possible for Negro Jurors and white jurors to wo^ togeth er and possibly eat togeth^ and slc^ together, and serve the ends of j'istice.” New Sewing Bulletin Just off the press-ready to help the nation’s homemakers plan for their pre-spring sewing—is a new bulletin, “Dresses and Aprons for Work in the Home,” prepared by clothing specialists of the USDA.
