Washington (ANP) — It has

man to transmit a memorandum
to his attorney general m which
the FEPC has asked for a clart-
licaiiun of its ptisition and its fu

The memorandum prepared by
the committee as a follow-up of
pievious discussions held with tho
chief executive late in August
was sent to the White House- on
Sept. 17. This letter a.^ketl for a
redetinitiun of function in light
of changed circumstances and th-'
sharp and obvious cutback.^ in the
ccmniittee’.s jurisdietiun since tuc
Japanese surre-nder.
Reportedlv there had been soin--
quibbling in high odininistratiuii
levels as to whether this letter
should have gone to the President
or rather directly to the attorney
general. Whether or not the argu
ment was ever raj^oncilert it .not

According to a well-informed
source, this letter did not arrivi
from the White House at the of
fice of the attorney general until
Wednesday. Oct. 10.
Leaning over backwards in a
Cautious attitude, the FEPC has
n trained from making any state

situation. It has obviously kept
out of the new.s for fear that to
do otherwise might jeopardize the
case.
The deduetion that is being pul
upon the current trend ol evenu*

ship between the committee and
the White House is not too good."
Fvidenct- b«-ing cited by thesr- ob-

More than 100 men were discharg

officers and 75 enlisted men, all of
them being sent to separation cen

Col. B. O. Davis. Jr., command

training of replacements for the
477th comp.-'sile group which h»'

are being accelerated.
Several combat units have been
inactivated and assigned to the base

of the local Sunday Morning Star.
The introduction of the brother

ited to Joseph H Martin, the genial
white-haired editor and publisher
of the newspapo; Under the Amer-

"If my brother strives to reach
"The step on which I •’tand

"Withhold a helping hand’’
Delaware resenble.s the .'outh

mce just before the turn of the
-entury Negroes have been accord-
d full privileges in the use of the
Wilmington Public library. The
ame does not apply to libraries in
'her parts of the state.
An absence of brotherhood in
Delnwar- is also evident in the lo-
ral hospitals, which bar Negro dec-
tors from visiting r ’ients profes-
-lonallv in colored ward*, said the
Rev. Delos O'Brian, pastor of the

eause Nerroes .gre allowed to sit

of barring Negroes. In denouncing
