Training Group
Bars Discrimination

The Committee on human Re
sources and Skill, one of the sub
committees of the State Defense
Council, is determined to adhere to
its policy of no discrimination on
the basis of sex, race or religion
despite the difficulties confronting
minority groups in securing jobs
in defense industries. At a meet
ing of the Committee at the Nieol-
let Hotel Tuesday, July Is, the
following resolution was introduc-
ed by Chas. w. Washington, Ex-
ecutive Secretary Of the Mime
apolis Urgan League, a member of

"Be it resolved that, following a
full discussion of the situation, it
is the sense of this Committee that
the policy of no discrimination be-
cause of sex, race, or color be ad-
hered to and that this Committee
urge upon employers in the State
of Minnesota to aquiesce on the
same policy"
Washington Cites Discrimination

nesota defense industries had not
yet opened their doors to skilled
Negro workers. He referred to the

opportunities for Negro workers on
a national scale and the Executive
Order issued by President Roose-
welt to the effect that all forms of
racial and religious discrimination
should cease. He expressed the
opinion that local defense training
and placement agencies should i'm
plement the Presidents statement
by indicating their feeling on the
matter to local employers. Mr..

that its present policy of admitting
all qualified persons to defense
training classes viii have to be re-
stricted in the future If employers
and labor unions refuse to accept
workers on the basis Of their abil-
ity.

JAPAN WARNED OF
 BLIND NAZI AID
If Axis Should Win Japan May Not Get What
 She Expects

Tokyo, May l4-(UP)--Ieeichi Muto, columnist for the newspaper Hochi, warned today against blind" Japanese aid to Germany merely because Of Japanese membership in the Axis military alliance.
 Muto said that should Japan suc- ceed in busting British and Amer ican influence from the Netherlands East Indies, 1t was unlikely that Germany would silently permit Ja- pan to have 6 free hand there.
 He said that unconditional Jap- anese assistance to Germany "savors of the fifth column argument" He added that 1t was necessary to ob- tain in advance from Germany "a special written understanding as to what rights Japan would have If British md American influence were eliminated from the Indies.
 The columnlst warned against even automatic Japanese aid to Ger many in event of United States entry into the war. He recalled that Japan, although she entered the World War and took the German colony of Tsingtao in tho Chinese Province of shantung, was forced to return 1t to China.
 Muto warned against repeating Japanese mistakes of the past.

SCOURCE OF ELM
 TREE IS COMING
Two Waves of Beetles on Way - New England
 Will Be Affected

Stamford, Conn.,, May i4.-tUp)-- Inc worst and most widely spread scourge of the elm tree beetle" af. fecting all parts of the country but particularly New England and New York state, was predicted to. day by pr. Il. Porter Felt, director of the Bartlett tree research labora. tory.
 Because of the early spring, Dr Felt said that two waves of beetles would appear this year. The first wave Of the pests already has spread, he said, whereas they ordin- arily would come in June. The sec. ond epidemic was forecast for Aug. ust. The beetles eat the leaves of the trees and add their damage te the already spreading Dutch elm disease, which affects the bark oi the trees. pr. Felt recommended spraying with poison solution preferably arsentate Of lead, to control and exterminate the pests.
 pr. Stanley Bromley, associate on. tomologist of the laboratory. said also that the Japanese beetle was appearing earlier this year, due tc the unreasonable weather and that grubs already were destroying grass roots in Westchester, Long Island and throughout Connecticut.
 He said the destruction by the Japanese beetle would be "ynuci, more prevalent and severe than last year."
