Read what one of our Tent
sisters, sister Naomi W. Del.esline
wrot? on the state of tht
country:
"Approximately a year ago
through the medium of press and
V -+radio we heard-the president and
^ Congress of the U. S. A. proclaim
ed that because of the spread _ofthe
war in European countries
and Hittler's or Germany's apparent
desire to bring the countries
of the world under the domina*
tion of thp Nazis, it would be wise
to prepare for National Defense
?1 On October 16, 1940 millions oi
young- men between the ages of 2t~
and 35 -years registered. Since
that time large numbers of these
_Lt young men have filled?out questionaires,
'have been given physical
examinations, have been classified
and subject to call for serA
\ vice, if they*were physically fit
^ and had no dependents. Today
hundreds perhaps thousands of
them are in training in the various
camps or forts of the country
"Immediately after the orders
were given to factories, navy
yards and mills for the produc
Hon ur war Huppllt'it, for our crwr~
defense and for aid to Great Bri?
tain.
"Negro men and women have
been denied jobs in a number ul
these factories or discriminated against
in the army, navy artd at
navy yards, etc. Our youths love
IV their country and are as patriW
-otic and loyal as the youths of the
other race. Our youths havp volnnfcnro/)

aviation corps. Here too they
were discriminated against, with
the exception of minor positions
in the army and navy.
"The Negro press, the N.A.A.
C.P. and other organizations have
protested with some results, but
therp is still room for improvement.
"Now where do we the Negro
women of America in general and
^ the woman of this noble sisterW
hood corme in, in this state of affairs?
What can we do to help
improve conditions?
"Before attempting to answer
this question we want to Call at-]

Selassie Keeps His
Promise?The Retake
If An Empire ? i
Haile Selassie, King of Kings. '
s once more established on hi?
Ethiopian throne. What his return 1
vill mean to the war in Africa
:an only be conjectured?but he
las returned to rule a people
itrengthened by their trials and
nore determined than before to
lefend their independence against
oreign intrigues. So says the
ameci journalist, Uenevieve Tabiuis,
writing in the July issue of
?oronet.
Even after four years spent in
-xile in an unfriendly country, the
Emperor of Ethopia never for a 1
lecond lost faith in his return to 1
lis kingdom. During the summer
1938, says .Coronet, when Morris
3est Attempted to persuade Haile
Selassie to come to the United
States for a lecture tour, the Ne- '
*us replied, "Very honorable Mr.
3est, within three years I shall
>e back at Addis Ababa." And he
.vas! - '
Although he is perhaps the last
'eudal sovereign living today, his
majesty is right up to' date on
nethods -of ruling his country.- He
?ave Ethiopia for the first time
i modern centralizied government
ind a parliamentary system. But
hen came the war with Italy and
lefeat after defeat for the Ethiopian
armies.
Haile Selassie, it has been said,
vas ruthless in his quest for powjr
and copardly in his flight with
the_imperial_treasure a few days
before the fall of Addis Ababa.
Mme Tabouis in Coronet defends
the Emperor by pointing out that
he made hiB escape so he could
iclp in the resurrection of his empire?something
ht which he nev'r
lost faith.
The days of his exile were hard
and bitter. On June 3, 1936, he arrived
in the town of Bath, Enfland.
There he remained until
June, 1940. But far from enjoying
-* - - ? t-i
me piivitv^vs ui a man ui iiib
rank, he was resented by many
of Chamberlain's henchmen. Worse
?he was penniless. In order to
live, the King: of Kings was forced^
to sell his silver dishes and part
of the crown jewels. His daughter
had to go to work to support the
family.
But during those years' of isolation,
emphasizes Coronet, . the
Negus never failed the interest*
of his country, the loss of which
official circles took for granted.
The treasure which he had rescued
was spent drop by drop to
finance the purchase of arms and
the shipment of military assistance
to the guerilla bands of warriors
who have never ceased to
fight the invaders.

Deferment of
Selectees 28 Yrs, Old
Deferment of all Selective Service
registrants wh0 are 28 year?
old on or after July 1, 1941, was
directed today by Brig: Gen. Lewis
B. Hershey, deputy director of Selective
Service, at the request of
congressional leaders.
In a telegram state directors
of Selective Service, General Hershey
said that he is advised by
these Congressional leaders thai
when pending legislation (S. 1524)
is enacted that such age group will
be deferred and with provision retroactive
to July 1st calling for
the discharge of all such inductees.
For that reason, he said, further'inductions
in tfhis age group
should be postponed for a period
of thirty days, pending action on
the bill..
His telegram t0 the State Directros
reads:
"Congressional leaders have now
publicly stated that there is no
difference of opinion as to the
merits of the age provisions of the
bill to defer men whu^ave attained
the age of twenty-eight years
L .J 1 inn
on or oeiore uuiy x, xotx.
"Congressional leaders have requested
the iDeputy Director to
take immediate action with respect
to the deferment at such men,
"As bill is now written, men
who have attained the age of twnty-eight
on or before July 1st will
be subject to discharge if inducted
on or after July 1st.
"Based upon such requests, and
the statements made that the agt
provisions of the bill will be passed
in substantially their present
form and the retroactive provisions
for discharge, you will inform
Selective Service Agencies in
vour State that the induction of
such men shall be postponed for
a period of thirty days pending
final action on the bill.
"In the event the bill is not pass
ed such men will be subject to induction
in the normal manner
upon the expiration of the period
of postponement."
S. 1524, as passed by the Senate
gave the President discretionary
power to make deferments by age
groups. It was amended by the
House Military Affairs Committee
to defer "Vegistrantb more than
27 years old. The amended bill is
on the House Calendar for discussion
on July. fL

21-Yr.-01d Men to be
Inducted Among
Previous Registrants
Washington, D. C., Juy 7, l'.itl
?The 21-year-old men who registered
or Selective Service on July
1 will be integrated for indUcLion
among previous registrants with
order numbers larger than the
last indtictee~crf their local TjcaTctr
National Headquarter*,- - Selective
Service System announced yesterday.
Rather t linn 1?o place?these
registrants ahead or after the
older" registrants on their local
board lists, it has been decided to
integrate them proportionately,
Brig. Gen. I^ewis B Tffcrsheyr-Dep^
uty Director of Selective Service,
stated.
For an example, General llershey
said, if there should happen
tq be_lfL ne.w- registrants in an
area and 100 old registrants awaiting
call, one new registrants
would be placed after each group
of 10 old registrants. * ?
?The -order in which rhe new registrants
will be integrated with
the old ones will be determined
by a national lottery t(> he held in
me ixauonai capital within the
next few -weeks. A set of serial
numbers, each preceded. _by the
letter "S", from "S-l" to include
the largest number used by any
local board in assigning serial
numbers to the July 1st registrants,
then will be drawn by lot.
The serial numbers in the order
they are drawn in the lottery will
constitute a master list to be used
by local boards in assigning "Sequence
Numbers" t0 their July 1st
registrants, in this manner:
The registrant in each local
board area whose serial number
appears at the top or nearest the
top of this second master list will
be given "Sequence Number 1" in
his area; the registrant whose
serial number is next closest t o
the top will receive "Sequence
Number 2", and so on until each
July 1st registrant has a sequence
number.
As was the procedure in connection"
with the previous""national
lottery in October, 1940, local
boards will cross off on the second
master list and ignore those
serial numbers that are not held
by any registrant in their areas.
When sequence numbers have
been assigned to all new registrants,
the local boards will assign
each of tfhese registrants an
order number to be determined by
integrating them among the old
registrants. This means that the
new registrant with Sequence No.
1 in his local board area will receive
the lowest orcder number assigned
to his group,-and the registrant
with the largest sequence
number- will receive the highest
order number for the same group.

" "PRICE: ]
Skilled Jobs Are
Available ior Negroes
Pointing out that ntw4 skilled
and semi-skilled jobs are being
made available daily for_ Negro
porkers in many defense industries,
Dr. Robert C. Weaver, chief
of the Negro Employment an<C
Tra i nin g B ranch bf OPM^ thisT
week strongly urged Negroes
" throughout the country to take
.dvantage of defense classes now
open to all trainees
'"Through the activities of the
Office of Production Management
and the Executive action of the
President," Dr. Weaver declared,
'employment bans against Negro
workers have been and are being
lifted in many defense industries*
now expanding their staffs
through defense training courses.
"In many of_these?industries,~
"howt?v er, Negro w orkers have been
unable to take advantage of these
new employment opportunities because
thev havu tn
. tmining, courses established
in their open coifjjjnunities.
"It is imperative that this condition
be rectified at the earliest
-possible?momeht: Since 76 percent
of the new jobs opened by the
defense program will be in skilled
and semi-skilled capacities, Negro
workers cannot hope to be fully
integrated into the employment
phases of the program unless they
enter defense training classes."-?
Dr. Weaver also pointed out that
President Roosevelt's recent Executive
Order on defense employment
took cegnigacne of the training
problems of minority groups.
Section One of the order stated:
"All departments and agencies
-of? the- Government of the ^United
States concerened with vocational
production shall take special meaand
training programs for defense
sured appropriate to assure that
su'dh programs are administered
without discrimination because of
race, creed, color, or national origin."
Declaring that this section will
assure wider training opportunities
for Negro woikefs, Dr. Weaver
urged colored trainees to utilizie
fully facilities- already available
in many localities.
"Field investigations by mern
bers-of my staff indicate that this
I, ~ 1 * -
lias iiui ueen none in many communities,''
he stated. "Civic, soeial
and labor leaders in these communities
should combine their efforts
tQ_see that available Negro
workers are enrolled /in these
classes."
The Chief of the Negro Employment
and Training Branch
ited recent developments in the
aviation industry in support of
this statement of increased employment
opportunities^ -for Necroes.
Aircraft manufacturers now
training1 and! employing Negro
production workers include Curtiss-Wright
factories and affiliates
in Buffalo, N. Y.. Columbus
and Cincinnati, O.: Bell Aircraft
in Buffalo. N. Y.; Brewster Aeronautical
Corporation in Long Island
City. N. Y.. Grumman Aeronautical
Engineering: Company and
Republic Aviation Ccrmpany in
Farmingdale, I
"The aircraft industry is notalone
in expanding opportunities
for Negroes," Dr. Weaver said,
"In Detroit, for instance, NegroeB
are now being placed as screw machine
operators, lathe operators,
electricians, gear hobblers, welders
and in other. occupations in
which they were denied employment.
ionWS pWaqzdf
"THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO
EDUCATION foresaw this situation
as early as October of last
year. At that time, this periodical
declared:
"It behooves as many Negroes
as possible to take advantage of
(.ins liHilling no mat tney can
supply this labor demand us "it
arises. It is boviously better po
ticy for Negroes to get such traininjsr
and face the possibility of
having to fiffht to get employment
afterward than it is to have op.

trained.
"The opportunities are beginning
to open up daily. And the
President's Executive Order may
prove iffeff?6tive fn many areas
unless Negroes prepare themselves
for these opportunities by taking
advantage of defense training
courses.
