A change in the program of

Russian War Relief has caused
the agency to withdraw from the
Community War Chest and
change its name to "The Ameri-
can. Society for Russian Relief,
Inc.," Robert H. MacRae, manag-
ing director of the Community
War Chest, announced this week.
The agency's new program in-
volves less "war relief" as such,
and more rehabilitation and re-
construction. Needs of the pro-
gram are now predominantly in
the field of gifts-in-kind.
With Russian War Relief and
America Denmark Relief, seek-
ing no further funds from the
Community War Chest, it will be
possible to meet the greatly in-
creased needs in recently liberat-
ed European countries, make pos-
sible larger appropriations for
relief in the Pacific, and provide
_ for the increased demands for
USO services in this country and
USO-Camp Shows overseas.

Mississippi

WASHINGTON (JPS) — Lead-
ing southern newspapers have
repudiated Senator Bilbo (D) of
Miss., and foe of the FEPC, no-
torious for his attacks on the
Senate floor, against J e w s,
Negroes and other minority
groups.
The Macon (Ga.) News, re-
ferring to Bilbo, said "we con-
ceive it to be the duty of every
Southerner to repudiate every
appeal to prejudice . . . Persons
who fan the flame of racial
hatred are enemies of the people
and their free institutions."
The Richmond (Va.) Times, re-
ferring to Senator Bilbo and to
Senator Eastland, also from
Mississippi, declared: "It is hu-
miliating to the South for two
Mississippi demagogues to mis-
represent the Southern people
with their unfair diatribes."
The New Orleans (La.) Item
asserted: "Truly there is no worse
influence in high life than Sen-
ator Bilbo. He is a, disgrace to
HARRY YUDKOFF
Juniper Grove, where he was
born; to Mississippi, which he
LT
represents; and to the nation of
which, unfortunately, he is a citi-
