MIR. Burwell Banz
Addresses KCCRC

Giving in detail the inner work.
ings of the State Highway Depart
ment, Mr.. Burwell Banz, director,
spoke for forty-five minutes before
the King County Colored Republic
cans club at their regular month
ly meeting, Sunday afternoon.
The address proved interesting
and educational. The manifold
duties of the department dispatch
ed many directions to specialists
of the department in the shortest
possible time was just one indica-
ton of the departments efforts to
follow the rule laid down by Gov
ernor Langlie economy in opera
ton.
Every department of the State
must meet with the governor once
each week. His readiness to alb
sorb the various reports leaves our
governor the best informed man in
the state on matters of import
ance to our government, said Mr..
Banz.
Continuing he said, my admin
istration will be without any re-
gard to race, color or creed. My
readiness in writing a letter to
your Mr.. Avis Dennis to come and
accept position in my depart
ment Is convincing proof"
Following the address, questions
were asked through Mrs. L. B.
Young, who conducted the forum
and who is also the vice president
of the club. Mr.. VIM. ]. Hyatt is
president.

pensioners for relief has long been
a burden on his heart. Gathering
around him his social security
heads, they finally reached the
point where they could submit the
results of their long hours of work
and vigil to the government for its
approval. The failure of the gov
ernor to release his new plans for
DAP, may now be seen. In sub
uniting it to the government for
final consideration, Gov. Langlie
failed to take Washington's con-
gressmen in the equation, giving
them an opportunity to profit from
the labor of his own conferees in
Olympia.
Young, progressive, hard-work-
ing, with his own administration
operated on basis of economy
and efficiency, with politics a Sc
condary consideration, his DAP
plan was modern and the most
liberal of its kind ever offered in
the 48 states. OF course its adop-
ton would have Immediately cata-

Life Magazine Chided
For 'Pickaninny' Use


NEW YORK, N. Y.-The mag
azine, LIFE, was chided by the
NAACP for using the word pick
aninny" in a feature of it's Nov
ember 10 issue.
In reporting upon healthy baby
contest at the annual Memphis
Negro Fair, LIFE headlined the
article with the word "pickinin-
MES" In its letter of rebuke, the
N. A. A. c. P. pointed out that
this designation of Negro children
is not regarded by colored people
as "cute or affectionate," and
urges that it not be used again.

Should Joe Louis Stake His Grown
For The Benefit OF The U.S.. Navy?

Navy would be nothing more than
common messman. If he worked
in the Navy Yard he would be
compelled to wear a badge with
the letter IN" on it, to denote
that he was a Negro.
When his name was called for
service he said publicly: II will
serve the nation without reserva-
ton If and when my service is
needed"
Joe Louis was an American Man
when he entered the ring. Joe Lou
is will be an American Man when
he leaves the ring. That is more
than we can say about the bosses
of the United States Navy.
You fought without reservation
in the ring, Joe, and we admire
your determination to fight for
your country without reservation.
If the President of the United
States can take his hat off to
John Lewis, surely you will lose
none of your prestige by knocking
out Mr.. Baer for the Navy. And
that is one thing that 13,000,00
Negroes think you can do pronto.
Do it quickly, Joe, and immediate
lly wire Mr.. Knox: when my
country is periled, I am not part
ocular as to the color Of a man
who comes to its rescue Stop Joe
Louis.

Henderson Predicts
Legitimate Demands

Pressure for Higher
Pay by End Of yeor
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A series of legitimate demands for
wage increases in many industries
will be inescapable, Leon Henderson
told Congress today, unless the ad-
minlStration price-control bill and
other regulatory measures are put
into operation.
The head of the Office of Price
Administration testified before the
House Banking Committee that the
question of future wage increases
would depend on how quickly Con-
greSs acts on the pending price e-con-
troll bill.
IF we allow things to go on as at
present" he said, II don't believe
we could escape set of legitimate
demands by the first of the year
when many contracts expire-for
wage increases, based on cost of liv-
ing increases.
1T seems inescapable that you'd
have this kind of pressure, regard
less of whether it came from organ
lied or unorganized labor, Federal
employees, school teachers, or what
have you
Mr.. Henderson was asked by Rep
resentative Crawford, Republican,
of Michigan whether he would go
along" on a price control system
that would allow farmers to make
even more than the 110 per cent of
parity provided for them in the bill
so as to help them, as Mr.. Crawford
put it, recover the losses of the last
10 years. The witness replied:
