WEATHER:
Rain Needed

AS another heat wave struck parts
of the Middle West, drought con-
ditions were intensified east of the
Mississippi river, with crop growth
faltering in many sections.
According to the weather bureau,
Kentucky may harvest only so per
cent of a corn crop, while condition
of the grain was spotty in Illinois,
Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, due to
heat and moisture deficiency. In
southern Illinois, soybean growth
was poor to good, while extensive
failures of potatoes, pastures and
gardens yer reported in Ohio.
West of the Mississippi, however,
corn prospects we're excellent, with
promise of a banner crop in Iowa
where the drought was broken in
the south, and a record harvest in
Nebraska, with more good rain.

In an effort to control consump
ton, OPA removed utility grades O
beef and lamb from rationing. re.
stored pork loins, hams and canned
fish to the lists, and increased the
point values of cheese.
OPA's removal of utility grades Of
beef from rationing was prompted
by the large movement of such
classes of cattle to market, while
the elimination of points on lamb
was intended to spur the consume
ton of such meat.
Restoration of pork loins and ham
to rationing, on the other hand, re-
suited from a seasonal decline in
hog marketing. Canned fish was put
back on the lists because of short
supplies throughout the country.

lbar, and eventually became one Of
the states wisest and best loved
judges.
1t was his small daughter, Mabel,
with her serious face and serious
thoughts with whom he shared his
dreams, his visions, his ambitions,
and best Of all in whom he instilled
the spirit of patriotism. He used to
tell the little girl it was not only the
greatest G~od-yiven privilege Of every
American to participate in govern
ment, bit her bornden duty. "Just
think, some day a little girl like you
might grow up to be the states first
woman in Congress"
A serious child, who loved to study
and brcuse into the history of gov
ernments and nations, Mabel learned
the constitution and its meaning very
early. "All men are created equal,
and the rights to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" became her
watchwords and her life.
Mabel was eight when her mother
died. 1t was then she learned she
must stand on her own feet, to do
for herself, to study, learn and to
develop qualities of leadership.
Her ten years in the legislature
was marked with the same sincerity
of purpose and earnestness which
characterized the little Danish girl
with the long blonde braids. Com
mon sense, honesty, and good judge
ment born of the long, hard years Of
making her own way in a hard world
and the wisdom inherited and de-
veloped by her father, marked her
political career.
Now, Mabel is on the threshold Of
her fathers dream. She will go in
to Congress armed with the same
faith in God, faith in America and
faith IN the Righteousness of u
great nation that has characterized
her life. Hja1mar Gudmundsen's
heart would swell with pride his
dreams may soon materialize.

Union Backs Gains of
Negro Workers
Federal Employees Convention Re-

Promotion in .Iohs

Federal Employees Convention Re-
jects Proposals to Keep Same
Proportion in Jobs
New York-The convention of
the United Federal Workers OF
America, Congress Of Industrial
Organizations, rejected yesterday a
proposal that any necessary lay
offs of Government employees be
accomplished in such as
would maintain in jobs the pres
ent proportion Of Negroes to white
workers.
After heated debate at it's closing
session in the Capitol Hotel, Fifty
first Street and Eighth Avenue,
the convention adopted a substi-
tute resolution placing the union
on record "in favor Of maintaining
employment gains made by Negro
workers"
Leading the fight for the original
resolution was Arthur Huff Faw-
cett, executive board member of
the National Negro Congress, who
maintained that "the whole issue
Of seniority, so hard won, must
be made pliable enough to include
proportional lay-off."
Opposes Original Proposal
Opposing him was Howard Zieg-
enfuss, of Local 118, at the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard, who argued
that the original proposal contra
vened the unions aim of full en-
ployment and the principle Of SEN
iority.
Pointing out that the issue of
proportional lay-offs has been by
passed by all big international
unions and that the CIO as such
has refrained from taking a stand
on it, William Molenhauer Of Local
118, argued that under proper
tional lay-offs one group would be
asked Ito step out Of jobs to let
another group of people step in"
"And the people who would be
asked to step out would be people
who are entitled to the jobs" he
said. "This is a matter of bread
and butter, not prejudice. I think
