Rockefeller Slams
Jim Crow Bans
Boat Ride-PiCnic
By Charles A. Niche

WASHINGTON 1S-This
is the story of the big Rockefeller
picnic that didn't come off.
The office of Nelson Rockefeller,
Co-ordinator of Inter-American af-
fairs, was two years old yesterday
and the 60O-odd employees planned
lot of big doings to celebrate.
After hours a movie was on the
schedule and then a moonlight
ride down the muddy, but historic,
Potomac River on an excursion
steamer of the Potomac River Line.
Some of the girls baked cakes.
A committee had been selling
tickets for week or so and among
those who purchased pasteboards
for the boat ride were 80 Negroes
employed by Rockefellers office.
The cards said plainly the bearer
could invite his friends to the birth
day party and so more ducats were
sold by the Negro workers to their
friends and families. That made
80 Negroes to the 600 white folks
who planned to cool off on the boat.
Party Called OFF
1t looked as though it might be a
pretty good party.
But yesterday morning the whole
thing was called off-all but the
movie. According to the story told
by indignant members of Rookie
feller's staff, the steamboat COM
pany called up and objected to the
mixing of Negroes and whites on
an excursion. The Rockefeller
party-committee members said the
boat company explained it had not
objected at first when it was
thought only the Negro employees
were going, but that it had to draw
the line when it learned tickets had
been sold to other Negroes.
The committee held a hurried
council-of-war and decided to put
the problem up to Rockefeller him
self. Rockefeller said:
''No Negroes, no party"
And that was that. The 600
Rockefeller Inter-Americans saw a
movie at 6:15 p. m. consisting of
snatches from newsreels, a bit
from Rita Hayworth picture that
boosted the work of the Rockefel-
Ter Committee, a couple of Mickey
Mouses and went home.
No Comment
A telephone call to the offices of
the Potomac River Line was rath-
er unproductive. A voice with a
Southern accent identified the man
as the manager and said softly:
eve have no comment to make,
no comment at ALL"
The man refused to verify the
company's position toward Ne
groes, to say what the name of
chartered and unchartered steamer
was, to say where the steamer
would have steamed if it had
steamed, to say much of anything.
He closed the one-sided conversa-
ton by saying:
cts better not to stir up mud
like this. We have no comment to
make" 1t quite obviously meant
no comment.

HIGHWAYS TO
CARRY CHROME
ARE AUTHORIZED

WASHINGTON-DetaiIs Of defense
highway construction expected to open
the way to chrome deposits in Still
water and Sweet Grass counties, Mon
tana, were explained by aides of Sen
ator Murray.
The house passed bill to add 800
100000 for access roads to the general
road fund, and Rep. O'Connor Of Mon
tana subsequently expressed confidence

lead to completion Of the highways to
the chrome areas.
The main highway, Murray's office
said, would be 439 miles long, extend
ing from q. S. No 10 at Columbus
southwesterly through Absarokee and
to the Benbow mill with a feeder road
SIS miles long from Nye to the Mouat
mill. Cost of the highway has been
estimated by army engineers at $750,-
100.
The other project that received the
engineers approval would serve chrome
developments In Sweet Grass county on
the West Fork of the Saltwater river,
Murray's office said, and would be
los miles long and cost $45, 1000.

TIRE SAVING BY
GAS RATIONING
DUBBED FALLACY

WASHINGTON Administration talk
OF extending gasoline rationing to the
whole country brought q protesting
cutlery from capitol hill.
Senator O'hahoney, D.. Wyo, told
reporters that perhaps the principal
source Of this trouble IS that congress
has surrendered too much Of its au-
thority to executives who don't under
stand conditions IN the country
Senator johnson, D., Colo, asserted
that 1T win be hard to convince people
in the oil producing states that they
can't have gasoline"
The war production board has or
dered the office Of defense transpor-
tation to prepare plans for nationwide
gasoline rationing as q tire conserva-
ton measure.
johnson said that persons who adj
Vocate gasoline rationing as a means
Of conserving rubber should remem-
Der that tires deteriorate about as fast
when unused as when driven moder-
ately.
"a new tire win last about two years
IN service or two years in storage" he
said.
OHdahoney said that I've been dis
cussing this matter with the motor
transport division of the office of de-
Tense transportation. The original or
ders Of this division apparently were
issued without the slightest compre-
hension Of their effect on the entire
area west OF the Mississippi river"

LeGSers Finding
High Grade Ore
Near ELkhOrn

ELKHORN-Some mining activity
has been noticed in this old camp
Some mines are being worked or ex-
amined. Some high grade was mined
last winter. Shipments are giving good
returns.
Leasers working close to the old Elk
horn mine found some ore. reported
to assay as high as $4,000 per ton.
Twenty sacks returned $1,000. The ore
carries free gold and tetradimyte, an
telurium and bismuth sulphide, very
rich in gold, which ore in the early
days was disregarded by the old-timers.
The camp has produced much gold,
silver lead and copper. A few prop
critics are being taken under option
and examined-such properties as the
Golden Curry, the Rare Outcrop and
Golden Butte mines.
The Golden Curry is an old mine
in the district which has much ore
developed, but viii require much cap
ital to handle the low grade complex
ore. The mine is a large property.
Some of the veins are 80 feet wide.

MISSOULA-Western Montana Mine
Owners and Operators association has
been organized here, under auspices OF
the Chamber of Commerce. Fifty-fiye
representatives from seven western
counties attended the organization
meeting, according to Hal T. Cheney,
chairman Of the Chamber Of Com

to draft organization papers.
The purpose of the organization.
Cheney stated, was to determine the
reserves and amounts Of strategic
metals in this area, in the hope of
justifying the erection of customs
mill here in Missoula to which small
operators could take their ore and re-
ceive cash on the barrelhead" for 1t,
avoiding long hauls which reduce the
profits on all ores. Cheney said inter-

Deep IN Heart
Of Texas There's
Revolt in Oil

The pleasant and spirited cooper

with the Office of Petroleum Co-ordi-
nator is not shared with certain other
states and particularly Texas, accord
ing to press reports which tell that
the Texas railroad commission has re-
fused to follow OPC recommendations
for production.
Said Commissioner Sadler: Crude
oil purchasers at statewide hearing
made firm nominations to buy 400, 900
barrels daily during the last is days
Of this month. The purchasers gave
this amount against 100000 barrels
daily which has been set by the OPC.
From all indications it appears that
the major companies are trying to
close in on the Independent operators. /"
Secretary Ickes commented that the
present situation may drive small pro-
ducers and refiners out of business
and, he said, 81 know there are a lot
of bad situations here and. there but
I do not think there is any formula
that can take care of all Of them"

Just think of the misery and suffer

We humans are as inconsistent as

A story about a hard-boiled banker
with a glass eye illustrates another
one of their weaknesses. This banker
was very proud of the fine match with
his good eye. One day after quizzing
a prospective borrower at great length
he said he wasn't sure If he should
make the loan but propoSitioned the
borrower that If he could tell which
eye was artificial he would grant the
loan. The borrower quickly replied that
it was simple to tell that the bankers
right eye was artificial. Since this was

piled, "Sir, it was easy because I could

Why not protect your eyes whenever
they are exposed to possible hazards
