Drive Intimidates Race Leaders

MILWAUKEE, Wis ~{ANP)~
Negro, leaders face intimidation
in; the. nation~ ~s current anti- Communist drive.

A description on the present
position of. Negro leaders came
last week from Charles Collins,
acting president of the Hotel and
Club employees, Local 6, New
York,~ during a caucus of Negro
delegates to'the 31st convention
of the Hotel and Restaurant
Employees International alliance
and: Bartenders International
league of America, AFL.

A Negro leader must risk being smeared as a ~Red,~ a ~fellow traveler,~ and a ~radical~
or, attempt to be conservative
and accept second-class citizenship, Collins said.

~There is no such thing as a
conservative Negro,~ he deciared. ~A conservative Negro i
one.who wants to cdhserve tt
pdif tax, conserve Winerimnia.
tior, conserve the secondsklass
citizenship which the groes
nowesuffer.~

But ~a Negro who,is willing
to fight for dignity and fhe
abolition. of all these things is
called a ~Red,~ a ~fellow traveler~
and a ~radical~,~ /Collins told his

i addition to endorsing C. T.

Now that we~ve gotten out our
spring coats and spits, or our
new Easter outfits let~s figure
out ways and means to keep
our appearance fresh and new.
That means interesting accesso-/
ries.

Let~s start with Navy~ blue
and black. Of course white
blouses and gloves are. always
good but for a change~try a soft
lime green blouse and flowers
in your hair, for casual: wear.
Or-a bright ~print blouse and
gloves. If your suit is an old
one why not try a new jacket
lining of printed crepe to match
the blouse.

The, new rust shades go well
with neutral greys~a _ russet
plum on a grey hat and russet

make ~a good looking color combination.

And for startling contrast with
your pastel: suit try a black or
navy blue -very tailored. shire
waist with a small. coir tre to
match the color. of the: suit.

For the evening try attaching

If your Easter bonnet has

HENRY FORD

___ By ROBERT CRUMP
DETROIT. ~ (ANP) ~ The

name of Henry Ford.was, _per- |

haps, more widely circulat-d
than any other in history, being

stamped on the front of the
25,000,000 cars he built which '

found their way into almost
every civilized country. on the
globe. Negro hands, handled |
many.. of the parts that went
into these cars. The percentage
of Negroes employed in. the Ford
setup is said to be 19.3. percent,
as against 15% in Chrysler and
8.1%, General Motors.

Negroes, at least in this city,
will mourn the death of Mr.
Ford because it was he who
granted them equal job: opportunities in his plants here where
something like 20,000 are employed in the River Rouge plant
alone, to. say nothing of subsidaries and feeder plants. Ford
broke the ice by placing Negro
workers in almost any type of
work they were capable of doing, or, for that matter, able to
learn through his trade school
and. workshops. et

Quite a number were Ford
employees back in 1914 when
that industrial, wizard put into
effect the $5 ber, day wage scale
and shorter working hours.

However, contrary. to the general belief Prevalent in some
quarters for a long time, Mr.

|Ford did not ~hire great pum
bers of Negro workers, integrate
and upgrade them out of any
great love for Negroes as such,
~but. more or less because Negroes fitted into his scheme of
things in the labor market.
There are thousands of Negroes who can rise up and call
Mr. Ford blessed because he instituted thrift among his work
ers through compulsory savings:
a bank provided adjacent to his
plant for that purpose. And
periodical inspections of Ford
workers~. homes were made to
see that they were kept up toa
certain standard. |

Working for the Ford Motor
company, in itself established
credit for the workers ~and the
company saw to it that bills
were paid promptly. That, of
course, was in another era. Back
in those ~days Negro Ford workers almost established class distinction here. People had become so saturated with the good
qualities and high ideals of Mr.
Ford, the high wages, their bank
accounts and the like, that the
men began to feel themselves a
little superior to workers in
other plants. ey wore their
badges as a marx of. distinction,
on the lapels of their coats on
Sunday. Then, ~I: work for
Henry Ford,~ was a boastful expression. The women began, to
form ~Ford Workers Wives
clubs,~ barring all. other women.

It was an era which started
many a Ford worker along the
road to home buying. In later

years, however, when the Ford
industries expanded to such
giant proportions, many of these
intimate services were eliminated. But the late Henry Ford
rendered yeoman service ~iby
starting manye Negroes off on
the right foot and brought about
a etter standard of living. And

When Tanya, the coast~s most
distinguished fashion designer,
presented ~a fashion - extrava
creations at the great and glorious Earl Carrol Theatre-Restatirant here Easter Sunday, she
had skating star Mabel: Fairbanks featured as a dancer. Currently appearing at the Jungle
Room, Mabel is a favorite to be
called on for such affairs.

One of the most: spectacular
pre-Easter fashion shows, Mabel
states, was given at the beautiful home of Sidney P. Doss.
The house has a. blanket of
grass which encircles, the most
beautiful patio and to top it off,
there lies in the. background one
of Hollywood~s most novel swimming pools. For the. Westside
Club~s Show. there were many
celebrities. They included. Louise Beavers, Clarence Muse, ~Ed.

while there are thousands who~
have never seen Mr. Ford in
person but have felt the weight
of his great influence, they.can
truly mourn the loss of this
great man Who made this the

of}.

How welcome is that promise to
mankind. in these times, for today. in a disordered, war-shocked world, there is sweeping over
humanity an irrestible urge for
spiritual enlightenment.
