Second, that white workers causrht in these strikes have developed a heightened resentment against Negroes. The situation has become so acute that for several weeks, rumors of possible race riots spread through St. Louis and evoked a strong statement ffom the Interracial Commission hece.

SEES LTrTLE HOPE FOR SOLUTION It is in this tense racial situation that the FEPC hearings have been held. The Philadelphia Rapid Transit tie up, with its race riot manifestations, have served to further cause grave alarm here. Yet the fact that the hearings were limited to a few small companies and a few specific cases, gives lit tle hope that the real heart oi tne problem will be reached, whatever the final Krc decision may ne. In all likelihood, the FEPC will find the companies guilty of discrimination, and will issue direc tives for correction of these abuses. But without any teeth to enforce its directives, it is far from clear how the thousands of Nejrro wom en barred from productive war work here will actually be aided.

Nor is it clear how St. Louis, in which so many war industries are now undergoing cut backs and lay offs, will be able to develop the kind of integrated employment pattern that will benefit lis Negro citizens. Indeed, the problem is even larg er. The ineffectiveness or tne in the St Louis hearings is not due so much (although some of it in) tr alonnv nreDsration or the cases and insufficient perspectives aa it is to the rapidly developing 1 1 lf. country.

Everywhere reconversion of war: industry to new kinds of produc tion for civilian goods or ainerewi kinds of war goods is creating tem porary unemployment, in wnicn Negro workers are the first vic tims. It is tnis Kina oi snaaow oi unemployment that projects itself into the post war period for Negroes. And it is this problem which so far, FEPC has not yet demon strated Its ability to meet, ror FEPC, the future is still open, certainly its indecisive work at St. Louis points to the need for a strong FEPC, with real power, on nermanent basis.

"I think it is an impertinence that a country accepts colored peo ple from any part of the world, and then says that Its Jaws don't enable it to deal with them on terms of complete social equality," declared Judge Hemmerde in awarding judgment for George Alexander Roberts, 31 year old West Indian, who was refused admittance to a dance hall after certain soldiers objected to the management against the presence of colored men dancing wun tjsg lish girls. ROBERTS FINED IN LOWER COURT The "case was originally tried before a lower magistrate's court, where Roberts was fined five pounds for failing to sttend home guard duties as a protest against the refusal to let him at Grafton Rooms, a public dance hall in Liverpool, although Roberts, was wearing King George's uniform at the time of the incident. Roberta was defended by the brilliant woman lawyer. Rose Heil bron, who also appeared in tne Constantine case as assistant to Sir Patrick Hastings. leaning British barrister.

Judge Hemmerde was told that Roberts was sn electrician in a war factory and joined home guard as a volunteer Without compulsion in oruer iu help defend England against in vasion. In giving evidence, Kooerts aid: "On being refused admis sion to the dance hall while wear ing the home guard uniiorm, felt very deeply the humiliation and offered my resignation from the home guard." Announcing his decision, Judge Hemmerde said. "When people come here to risk their lives, they are entitled to feel that they are coming to conditions of decency and order. If they found that a noisy and Intolerant minority are not prepared to give them equal rights, the colored people have a right to be angry. I think It is impertinence for any country to accept colored peoples from any part of the world and then deny oomnlete social equality." Continuing his remarks, the judge asked, "Who Is it that shuts the doors of the dance halls af ainst our colored men who come nere to ngm iur uiuiu a ties? Who are the people who shut the door of the Imperial hotel in London against men like Constantine?" after heartnv ev idence on behalf of Roberts rnnatantlne?" after hearing evi sible position as a welfare officer Tar IrrltsfiBC.

S. Negro soldiers lost their lives in sction in Normandy during the past few days. Eighteen men from a Quartermaster outfit xwere killed when a Junkers 88 plane was hit by anti aircraft fire and fell in their bivouac area.

Nine' men from an Engineer General service reguneni were uiu iu bits in an explosion, and others from scattered organizations bring the total to about 30. The next of kin of the victims are being notified by the War Department. Cpl. Elmer Swan of Baltimore. Md, described some of the scenes surrounding the Quartermaster mishap.

He said the men were just moving into a new location and hardly had time to set up and dig in when the Ju 88 attempted to penetrate the tight flak defenses. The second burst struck home, and the plane spiraled to earth, crashing aton a truck in which men were sleeping. Most of these and several men asleep on the ground underneath the truck body were killed instantly. All were enlisted men and r.on coms. jviass ounai services have been held.

The engineers died when they entered a huge underground cavern used by the Germans for stor ing ammunition. After a halt hour a ternnc explosion came irom tne tunnel, rocking the surrounding buildings. All structures within a hundred yards were licked Dy tongues of flame shooting from the entrance of the tunnel. Rescue parties later found three bodies intact enough for identification, but no trace of the remainder has been uncovered, their mortal framework having been pulverised among the debris from the explosion. These mishaps constitute the biggest catastrophes affecting Negroes in the Normandy fighting area to date.

attached to the British Ministry of Labor. Judge Hemmerde reduced the fine by the lower court on Roberts from five pounds to one farthing and told Roberts to go home. On the same night African and West Indian war industry workers formed a committee to call up the Lord Mayor of Liverpool demanding, the right to attend dances in public halls and other public places of recreation regardless of the objections of certain overseas soldiers stationed in the Liverpool district.
