Northampton, Mass, May 15-
(UP)-The 146th New England
Methodist conference, after heated
debate, today rejected a resolution
denouncing racial discrimination in
the south and sent 1t back to COM
mittee for revision.
The vote was taken by the APP
proximately 500 delegates after the
Rev. s. M. Riley, Negro pastor of
the Fourth Methodist church Of
Boston had electrified the confer
ence by rising suddenly in the midst
Of the debate and shouting:
"All those who are not for me
are against mel"
The Rev. Henry J. Bailey of

ticn, contending that it constituted
interference with the Southern
Methodists and would serve only TO
stir UP deep-rooted prejudices. He
demanded that it be revised to
cover only New England.

Supporting War Effort
I'VE feel very keenly our obllga-
ton and duty during the present
emergency to operate the railroad
in the manner which will bring the
fullest measure Of support to the
country's war effort" Mr.. Palmer
said. Our war job, as we see Its
general outlines, involves giving
precedence to movements Of troops,
to movements Of Army and Navy
officers, Government officials, ana
others engaged in important war
work, the movement of war mater
ials to and from our highly import
ant industrial territory, to the move
ment Of defense workers, and after
these jobs have been taken care of,
to take care Of transportation re-
quirements Of the general public.

I'VE shall have to be realistic
about our problems. SO far as pas

we are frozen with our present sup
ply of passenger equipment. While
we believe that the New Haven Is
one Of the best-equipped railroads
in the country in passenger equip
ment, the nature of Our territory in
tensifies the passenger transporta-

1t has been estimated that normal
passenger mileage by auto had
reached approximately ten times rail
passenger mileage, so that 1t Is easy
to see what the effect would be with
a switch Of even less than one

RAYS USES
ARE NUMEROUS
There are many other potential
war uses for the ultraviolet ray
during blackouts. For instance,
fluorescent chalk might be used to
mark station names, signals and
train schedules on blackboards, and
"black light" played on them when
visibility becomes necessary. Nor
are these the only possible out-of-
door uses for the invisible" lighting
process.
BLACK light" according to the ex-
perimenters, might be used to mark
military and commercial air fields,
or to light up tools and construction
material for precision work which
must be done out of doors In O
round he-clock industrial sched-
ule.
