SUBSCRIPTION RATES Year $5.00—6 Months $3.00—3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) An Explanation The views expressed in an editorial reprint from The Louisiana Weekly that appeared in our issue of July 14th regarding the alleged opinion of George W. Lee on the FEPC issue do not represent the editorial opinion of the Memphis World. The reprint editorial referred to expressed criticism of the alleged statements made by Mr. Lee in a news release by a press service several weeks ago. We received this original release stating cynical opinions of FEPC accredited to Mr. Lee, but upon contact with him and his repudiating and denial of the statements we dropped the matter and did not give publicity to the release. Moreover, in our issue of July 11th we carried a statement from Mr. Lee repudiating the critical statements regarding FEPC. But as stated above, in still a later issue, we carried inadvertently this reprint-editorial which was based upon a release that had already been denied. In fairness to Mr. Lee, we are voluntarily making this explanation so our readers would not be misled as to our editorial position regarding both FEPC and Mr. Lee.

Seek FEPC in employment, legislative authorization will be given for appropriations for salaries and expenses of such an agency. The economic mobilization bill, the official title of which is the defense production act of 1950, was introduced last Wednesday in quick response to President Truman's request for legislation to place the nation on a statutory defense production basis to meet the Korean situation and its implication to world peace. The proposed measure would give the President certain authority to meet the demand for production for the armed forces. He would be authorized to provide for the diversion of existing facilities, materials, goods and services from civilian use to military purposes and for the expansion of production facilities. The bill consists of five titles providing the authority needed to channel facilities and materials into military and essential civilian uses, to finance increased productive capacity and a larger supply of materials, and to control consumer and real estate credit and speculation in commodities. There is abundant evidence that the wartime national policy of non discrimination in employment contributed greatly to the shortening of World War II. The policy was binding on all government agencies, war contractors and labor unions. CALVERT challenges comparison with any whiskey on the market to discover the whiskey that tastes best to you?
