Senators Charles L. McNary, Henrik Shipstead, William H. Smathers and Styles Bridges have indicated their approval and active support of the measure. Senators James M. Tunnell, Carl A. Hatch and Alexander Wiley report that they have not had time to study the resolution, but they are in favor of any effort to ban discrimination on account of race. Copies of a strong resolution passed by the National Public Affairs Committee of the YWCA have been sent out to 900 YWCA branches with urgent requests that all persons interested in the fair 1 and equitable integration of the Negro into the national defense program write to Senator Elbert D.

Re: Mr. J. A. (Jack) Johnson "A 1 Tribute to Motherhood" issue of I May 9th: Many have disputed his statement, "Frank E.

Unlimited National Emergency The public was schooled for the announcement. From it there is no appeal. Even as it was being uttered, 15 million Negroes are engaged in a civil struggle for rights guaranteed by the constitution - life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Nor is it necessary that we should surrender or even call a truce. 15 million Negroes today should close ranks and throw about the I president their united physical and moral strength. We know no other country. We have never sulke-d I in our tent nor will. Our answer to the squawkers is: Let the I howlers howl, and the growlers growl, and the prowlers prowl, and the gee-gaws go it. Behind the night there is plenty of light and the president is all right and evl ery American knows it. He is your president and he is our president. it is your country and it is our country, you ought to be willing to fight for it, because we are willing to die for it.
