'I am confident,' Mfc. Rainey

?Kor?the inforniation of those

issued the following statement:
"New Yorkers are herewith informed
that in order t0 exercise
their right to vote on Nov. 5, .they

registration starts on OetobtV 7.
Between the hours of 5 P. M_ and

Tobias' Appointment
Shows Recognition
Of Negro
Kew York?The u^tiit appointment
of Dr. Channing II. Tobias
of the -National fjnuneil pf the Y,.
M. C. A., as a ju/mber of the sixman
committee to advise and assist
in the co-ordinating of plans
for the drafting of manpower under
the "ShliH-fivd~S(Tv1co "TriTtniiTg
Act is ftf line and in keeping
with the President's determination
to give the Negro people the fullest
recognition in every department
of the Federal Government^
The valiant light made by Sen"
ator Robert Wagner, of New York
the President's gallant supportei
for euality of consideration, opportunity
and treatment, for the
Negro in the armed services of
the. nation went into effect early
last week, after a long and Uittei
fight.
That measure insures the Negro
volunteer or the draftee, from
being arbitrarily incoporated into
a labor battalion or stevedore
regiment. It forces the War Department
to accept Negro volunteers
in all branches of the service:
marine. artillerv. aviation.
"engineers, intelligence and. the
mechanical units of the army as
well as- the regular army units
like the infantry and calvary.
Other legislation past or pending
mnkes it possible for Negro
mechanics to obtain work in any
plant manufacturing war implel
mcnts for the Federal Government.
In other words, there is to
be no discrimination in employment
in the Government's vast rearmament
program.
