FEP Should Get Part of
4 Million, Says NAACP

NEW YORK-On learning that
the Senate voted President Roose-
welt 100000 for confidential
purposes" last week, which, it is
said by Democratic leaders, prob
ably will be spent for investigation
of the defense program, the Ma
tional Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People
stated that part of the money
should go to the Committee on
Fair Employment Practices whose
job it is to investigate discrimna-
ton in defense industries and
training.
This would make the FEP COM
mittee Independent and free to OPP
crate without having to use the
facilities of any other government
agency, the NAACP said.

THE COMMUNITY CHEST

When Community Chest solicitors CON-

who calls upon you is actually doing Nou

CALIFORNIA LAGS
TOO FAR BEHIND

California, usually so far ahead III the
matter Of highways. is going TO lose Il
game for high stakes unless something
is done soon to pave the famous missing
link" in the Four-States highway, tn hhh
between Desert Center and inland.
Arizona is moving swiftly to cut Oft
whatever chance this state may have
the California route for the Four-StateS
highway. 1t is even possible that other
states, which have paved or surfaced their
sections of the Canada-to-MeXico route,
will tire Of California's dilly-dallylng and
agree to shift the southern portion OF the
highway along a route with the |. :. ter
minus at San Luis on the AriZonaMeXIco
border.
AS it is at present, the highway leads
from Canada to Mexico through lmpe-
rial Valley At Mexicali it joins up with
the route to San Felipe, for which the
Mexican government recently made d
paving appropriation of one million pesos
1t is vital TO Imperial Valley that the
Desert Center-Niland link be paved, or
at least we'll surfaced Once that is done,
the valley will become a stopping point
for visitors from all over the nation
and will be able to offer in addition to
its own climate, the avail ability of Baia

stretch Of desert road you can find From

road is good again.

it is up to Imperial Valley, to see that
