TRIP POSTPONED This trip was planned several months ago, but was celled off foi some unknown reason. It was hint ed that the President did not fee, too safe visiting Puerto Rico at tut time, because of the bone of cor. tention which then existed there. Am one the 28 reporters, radio men and eatnermen wno will ac company the President on the trip will be P. Bernard Young of the Norfolk Journal and Guide and i Llewellyn A. Coles of Columous.

Commissioner Elmer A. Carter has replied to the NAACP com plaint with the statement that ! the “ultimate objective" of the Commission is “the elimination , of discrimination in the over-all j employment pattern of the rail road." This objective, the Com missioner states, “presents many complex problems" The NAACP, however, will . continue to push for the speedy determination t f the rights of the men who have presented their complaints to the Commission many of whom are now w rkirr in the lowest paid categories on the railroad Hospital Tiled nor even Harlem, itself.

Congressman Powell was no: invited either this year or last It was the general opinion las', year that the Harlem congres.- man was intentionally left off the the guest list because of an old grudge which the President held against him because of a remark marie by the New York congress man in regard to Mrs. Truman'.. | stand or, the segregated policy ■ practiced by the Daughters of the j American Eevolution. When Mrs. Truman was asked to boycott a recital given at Con stitution hall because the DAP had previously denied the cor- I gressman's distinguished wife, Hazel Scott Powell, the right to : appear in a concert there because ; of her race, the First Lady replied | in effect that she saw no reason why she should not attend the; recital.

"As a result," the Ebony sea- ! lure continues, "party bosses arc ; anxious to please colored voter- ; and have given three out of ev • t•• y ten government .jobs to Ne groes altnough only two out of i-\ err ten votes are Negro." Aside from jobs, the Negro vote as a balance of power in KC po- ; iities has meant better education, better health facilities and mote : police protection for the man in ; the- street, Ebony says. The sea .use continues: "Voting as a bloc, colored vot ers represent a balance of power and are as reliable a barometer of KC voting as Maine is to the nation. When KC Negroes voted tor Roosevelt, the whole city went ■ tor FDR. Whim, in 1946 some 97 ' per cent or the colored precinct* wont Republican, the city went ;to the GOP."
