|Churchmen Ask
Racial Justice

NEW YORK, June 22-The exc
cutive committee of the Federal
Council of Churches asserted today
that "men and women of all races
should he warmly welcomed" to
church membership.
The council embracing "a denom-
nations, urged churches to set
their own houses in order in the
matter of racial discrimination,
saying:
eff we are to be leaders for JUS
tice among peoples of the earth,
we have to develop the courage of
stand without compromise against
un-C Christian racial attitudes and
devise techniques by which to
change UNI Christian community
patterns"
The experience of missionaries in
India, China, Africa, the state
ment said, showed that churches
need to "achieve justice and fell
lowship among racial groups in our
own land in order to show the sim
certify of our belief in the Gospel
we carry to the people of other
lands"

The party headed by Mr.. r. H.

The program which brought the
award to Puget Power for the Sec
ond time was developed by ]. C.
Scott, director of the company's
Farm Identification Department.
Even before December Z, 1941,
Puget Powers agricultural engin-
GERS foresaw the possibility of a
shortage Of certain materials of
vital Importance to the poultry
men. When war DID strike Anne
RIGA, nichrome wire was immed-
lately placed on the war produc-
ton priority list. This wire was
used extensively in heating chick
brooders. Then the poultryman
was told that in heating his chick
breeders, the use of briquet coal
and fuel oil was to be curtailed.
The power company's farm cleo
trification laboratory at Puyallup
developed an economically con-
structed, radiant heat type chick
brooder heating system using a
timed iron wire to supplant nj
chrome. A system of using cleo
trio lights to supplant briquet and
fuel oil was also introduced to the
poultry farmer.
When blackouts became a ne
cessity, the poultrymen were faced
with the problem of egg produc-
prices were high. Again Puget Po-
wer tackled the problem and in
structions were sent to poultrymen
how to arrange their poultry house
windows, doors and ceiling ventil-
ators to maintain air circulation
and at the same time prevent any
light from escaping to the outside.
1t is believed that Puget Powers
quick action on this problem has
actually saved Western Washing
ton poultrymen thousands of dol
lars.

CHOSE the project as established"
Il exceedingly regret" DR.. PEN
ick spoke for the organization,
"that the leaders of this project
were so jealous in their desire to
establish a Y.M.C.A. that they
were blinded to the vicious nature
of this self imposed segregation.
No one will deny that additional
social service is needed; but the
kind and type should have been
left to the community to decide.
I know that more acceptable and
more progressive means could
have been used" The NAACP de-
MES further that this small select
group spoke for, or Were represen-
tative of the Negro Community of
Seattle. They were not a cross
section of the community, and they
sepoke only for themselves.
The NAACP points out further
that in order to bring about this
self-imposed segregated project, a
special ordinance (No. 1889 was
introduced to appropriate $4,000.
This, Mr.. Prim thinks, amounts
practically to class legislation.
Heretofore no mention was made
of race in caring for service men.
This ordinance shall take effort
and be in force thirty days from
and after its passage and approval
if approved by the Mayor; other
wise it shall take effect at the time
it shall become law under the
provisions of the City Charter"

The NAACP Legal Redress
Committee, led by John E. Pri1n
Atty. reported to the Executive
Board the events leading to the
establishment of segregated pro-
ject for Negro Service Men at 23rd

held all comments until it had the
facts in hand.
On May %, 1912 a small group
of Negroes apparently highly Sc
lected because of their conformity
met Mr.. Melville Monheimer, CO.
ordinator for the Seattle War De-
tense Council, and his committee,
after some discussion, adopted the
following resolution:
"Be it resolved that the Negroes
of Seattle pledge their full coope-
ration to the War Commission in
the establishment of a Service

1--WE are apprehensive," Legal
Redress Committee states, that
the separation of this kind is close
akin to self imposed segregation
which may subsequently lead to
discrimination of the vilest ma
ture."
Mr.. Monheimer pointed out that
the War Department of the United
States segregates Negro and white
soldiers in army camps. He admit
ted, however, that the project at
23rd and E. Olive is not under the
War Dept, it is not a u. S. o.
Project but is under Municipal De-

Farmers Benefited
By P. S. P. and L. Go.

Announcement that the Puget
Sound Power and Light Company
had received the 1941 Thomas w.
Martin Rural Identification
Award was made this week by
Frank Mclaughlin, president of
the power firm. The Martin
Award is given annually by the
Edison Electric Institute to the
private electric utility company
contributing the most to farm cleo
trification.
Unique feature of the honor, Nc
Laughlin points out, is the fact
that a company can win the award
only once every five years. In
1884 Puget Power entered the con-
test and won. They did it again
last year in competition with pow
er companies all over America.

Today is ruled by a benefic as

the Navy may suffer some sort of
setback or minor damage.
HEART AND HOME: Women

write important letters under this
configuration. 1t is a day for con-
structive work in the office or the
household. Under this sway the
men in the family may oppose GER

but national needs will eliminate
old ideas regarding the status of
women. Great success in many
lines OF industry is presaged. Coun-
ter-espionage will engage the tai

USINESS AFFAIRS: While
Washington discusses abstruse fin
ancial and economic problems av-
erage American families will main
tain pleasant homes on greatly re-
duced budgets. In many cities
there will be only slight business
dislocations.. Wage earnerS who
do not worry about initiation will
spend their money generously and
retail merchants will prosper. Post

attention from the man in the
street who will pay more and more
