are to judging men and women on
their worth, accustomed to racial
and color equality, with intermar-
rage common, the racial discrimi-

hard to stomach. It was the only
thing about the United States they
did not like. 1t smackcd of hvpoc-

cubic measurement of some $4,000
buildings in the city because OF a
shortage Of personnel.
in response TO request for 10
additional surveyors in the new

"They are going TO release
some people from the welfare
department. Why don't YOU
transfer some of them To your

But they are mostly women,
