Parker, area director, said today. Enrollments can be made at the center at 3630 Marine avenue. Negroes are asked to enroll at 4316 St. Ferdinand avenue. Age limits are 17 to 25.

The centers began accepting women trainees two weeks ago, and with the closing of clerical projects, ordered by G.

Louisans and other Missourians is successful. The project is the' purchase by the United States government, as a national historic site, of the Diamond Grove Farm, eight miles northeast of Neosho. which is the birthplace of this 78-year-old Negro who has revolutionized production in the Cotton Kingdom of the South and who is thought of by vast strata of his people as a "living saint."

Through the executive administration of Sidney Redmond, president of the St. Louis Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples, this group has won the pledge of Dewey Short, congressman of the Seventh District, to introduce a bill in congress for the purchase of the property, which consists ofthirty acres of walnut grove long used as a picnic grounds for the Diamond Grove community.

Dr. Carver's achievements Include the creation of the peanut industry in the south; the development of synthetic marbles and building materials from vegetable wastes; the practical development of synthetic fibers and clothes from such raw materials as okra pods; paints and varnishes manufactured from Alabama clays, and methods of dairying, hog-raising, gardening and the creation of paper from pine wastes. If Congressman Short's bill proves successful, it will mark the first federal memorial to a Negro. Highway Markers Erected. Gov.

British Firm Discussed. "In 1339 Carboloy set up a procedure which would enable General Motors to purchase at the maximum quantity discount, recardless of whether it purchased the necessary quantity cf each size and type of p.ece." Lewin also discussed certain dealings involving the Thomson-Houston a British concern in which General Electric had a financial interest, and the successor corporation to a British subsidiary of the Krupp of Essen, Germany. He said Thomson-Houston re-fu-fd to exchange technical information with the other firm after the outbreak of war in 1939. and told in brief of efforts of the Krupp sucsiciary's successor to get supplies of tungsten carbide powder. Ke introduced a memorandum dated November 22, 1939, by "Eve-leth of General Electric" which Lewm said indicated "plans were being made to supply such powders and that an arrangement would be made with British Thomson-Houston by which that company would receive a share of the profit on this transaction."

Pilant, who has been the prime spirit in the movement to perpetuate the scientist's birthplace, has many incidents to tell of Dr.

Carver's life. Around the Diamond Grove country, Pilant said, old timers remember Carver as the "boy who was always projeckin' about." "When little George Washington Carver learned his multiplication tables, old man Moss Carver gave him a yearling calf as a reward," they said. Dr. Carver Once a Slave. Moss Carver was a white man, owner of George Washington Carver and his family in slave days.

Before George Washington was a year old, he and his mother were kidnaped by bushwhackers.

Dr. Carver was made a member of the Royal Society of Arts, London, in 1917, and was awarded the Spingarn Medal in 1923 for service to his race. "A practical scientist who has brought millions of dollars into the coffers of the south. Carver has persistently refused to profit from his labors," Pilant said. "Because he also has shown thousands of poor southern Negroes and whites how to live from their land and without money, he has been called the first father of ersatz, but an ersatz which feeds and does not blight humanity."
