Said To Favor
Jim Crow End .waskinoton,
d. e.?(nnp)?An
effort to Amend the supplemental
national defense appropriation
bill so as t6 forbid use of any
of the funds provided irj tlte measure
In branches of the Department
of.the Air Foro# in whichTaffe segregation
exists failed last Thursday.
; The amendment, offered by Hep"
resentative Adam -C. Powell, Democrat.
of New7York, was rejected by
~ a vote of 108 to i*?
~ Supporting the , amendment witir
Mr. Powell were Representatives
Helen Oahagan Douglas, Democrat,
of California, and Leo Isacson,
American Labor party, - of New
York.
Speakihg in support of'the Pow,ell
amendment, Mrs, Douglas declared
that "It Is a matter of simple
justice to abolish segregation in
all the branches of the armed
forces."
Pointing out that colored soldiers,
fought "for a freedom which fie
has not as yet bedn permitted to
share,'" Mrs/ Douglas declared that
colored, heroes in World War H
"achieved their'proud recordsunder
handicaps that did not have to be'
overcome by most of their white
JeHew citizens., 'SdlbiBfeYOND
DECENCY BOUNDS
"To ask them again to bear armsln
the face of OOfctlnned discrimination
would add to those handicaps
and go. beyond the bounds of
common decency," she said, adding:
"It is always my fervent hQPf
that we will have the wisdOg^w
look upon cltizens^and eoljCUMf* ^
unnecessary enactment *of letfl^ff
tlon to revive the draft or autho-1
nze universal military iraming.
He served nbtida that he woald
against colored firemen* the Brotherhood
proposed that the "honpromotable"
group of firemen be
abolished.
Under the pfbposal, each fireman
and 'helper, in the ofder of
his seniority, would be required
! to take examinations for promotions
and those who failed woyl<k
be dismissed from thl service.
i.,__JPhe^ colored firemen Claimed r
t that the proposal was kept suc,
ret from them, although the Bro.
therhood knew that the proposal
called for a revolutionary change
! in operating practices by the car,
riers, and might well affect the
policy of the railroads in the future,
hiring of - colored firemen
as well as, the employment status
of colored firemen now in service.

OKLAHOMA CITY ? <ANP) ?
"Voice of America," the U. S. State..
department's sponsored broadcast, .
beamed an overseas program to
Italy Sunday, to give the people
'proof that Negroes have opportunitles~trr
America. The proof was in
the form jof how a Negro .couple
built a $431,000 U. S. hospital, here.
Principal figures in the cast were
W. J. Edwards, 55-year-old Junk dealer,
his 60-year-old Wife, and
the U. S. government. Edwards had
reaped a fortune in the junk business,
but when his wife was stricken
With a serious illness, he fouQd

tional defense appropriation bill and |
any bill In connection with the armed
services which does not contain ,
"definite and specific language '
abolishing Jim Crdw of all types."
. Both the Navy , and the Coast 1
Guard, Mr. Powell said favored-Jeg- 3
islatlon"to abolish race segregation 1
in the armed- services. He^said 1
botlr%f these services had express- 1
ed approval of legislation outlawing ]
Segregation. The Navy, the Coast 1

"Unless thpse planes, guns, apd t
ships are manned In accordance ,
with the democratic afcirit of sour
Constitution and Bill of .Rights," he
declared, "they will not be the type \
of weapon that will successfully ,
bring our-Nation to the pinnacle'of >
victory." - , v. T ' ,
Declaring that race segregation ,
and discrimination in the Air Force ^
should be ended by congressional
mandate, Mr. Is&cson said such ,
practices were repugnant to basic ;
democratic principles.
"h policy of discrimination in any I
artivttv sunnorted out of general I
taxes/' Mr. Isacson said, "In effect
forces- that portion of the taxpayers
to foot the blU for discrimination against
themselves."
He denounced segregation . and
discrimination as uneconomical, saying
the best results -in any enterprise
would be obtained if .eligibility
is. determined on the basis of citienshlp"
and qualification.
