NY. EDUCATORS DECLARE

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 6 (ANP)
Home environment rather than
school surroundings influence ra-
cial discrimination, DR.. George S.
Stoddard, state education comis-
sioner, declared last week.
Speaking before the 23-member
commission against discrimination,
in the first of series of five such
public hearings, Stoddard stated.
''The school people are unani-
mously in favor Of educational pro-
grams against discrimination They
do everything they can to discour-
age it,.
"Our children get in their school
life program constantly against
discrimination, but if they go home
or to neighborhood or corporation
w h c h practices discrimination,
then they reach a state of confu-
sion."
Charles H. Tuttle, counsel for the
commission, criticized that a sur
vey by the group had showed that
''little or nothing was being done
in education against discrimina-
tion."
Another speaker, DR.. John w.
Herring, supervisor of adult educa-
tion for the state education depart
ment, opposing the creation of a
volunteer group to serve as fight
ers against discrimination, pointed
out that such groups extend only

Anthracite Stock Limits
Further Reduced by Ickes
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Government coal ofncials, pre-
dieting 4 5000, ,000-ton shortage Of
domestic anthracite this winter
compared with 100000 last year,
yesterday acknowledged failure IN
their efforts to create emergency
stocks of hard coal.
Secretary of Interior Ickes, as
solid fuels administrator, issued an
order limiting wholesale and retail
anthracite dealers to 87l7 per cent
Of their normal requirements, the
same limitation which applies TO
domestic consumers.
Until yesterday the dealers had
been permitted shipments up to 80
per cent Of their requirements. The
margin of ~ per cent was an at
tempt to build up small cushion
Of anthracite inventories, which for
some time have been virtually non-
existent.
Actually production Of domestic
sizes Of anthracite is running only
So per cent Of normal requirements
the Solid Fuels Administration said
Therefore. shipments to dealers
have been averaging So per cent,
with few getting their full 80 per
cent maximum and others receiving
down to 10 per cent of their needs
Yesterdays order Is supposed to
spread the supply more equitably.

|Ickes Wants Inferior
Given Sole Power 10
Sell Government Land
BY the Associated M Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Calling on Congress to enact a
surplus property disposal law that
would prevent repetition of "the
SPECTATORS paradise" that followed
the last war, Secretary of the In
terror Ickes proposed today that his
own department be given the Job of
handling Government land dispo-
sition.
Mr. Ickes indorsed the pending
Murray -Taft-Stewart bill in testi-
mony before the Senate Military
Affairs Committee, saying he
thought 1t set up the necessary
safeguards for thwarting "the
cheats and chiselers" in sales of
billions of dollars worth of un-
needed war goods 1
The Interior Department, with
long experience In administering
100000 acres of publicly owned
lands, should be designated to
handle the task OF disposing Of ad-
ditional thousands of acres that
were acquired for war purposes, Mr..
Ickes said.
He proposed an amendment to the
Murray-Taft-Stewart bill to give It
that authority, Hather than leaving
land disposition under control of
the overall administrator and va
rious agencies which now hold title
to the land.
Mr.. Ickes suggested that some
large tracts be cut up into small
owner-operated farms or used as
grazing lands.
He mentioned that $4,000 acres of
irrigable land in the Columbia Ba-
sin project, acquired by the Army
for an airport, could be converted to
small farms under the reclamation
laws. The Muroc bombing range,
$4,000 acres, In Kern, San Ber-
nardino and Los Angeles Counties,
Calf, contains lands "eminently
suited for administration as part of
California Grazing District No. l."
he said.
Similarly, he said, 1900 acres of
the Wendover bombing range in
Utah could be incorporated in graz
Ing lands for lease at a profit to the
Government.

In one of a series of moves in

crat, of Alabama urged producers
today to hold their crop OF the
market until parity had been
reached.
kilograms to Governors, COM
n1issioners and farm bureau presi-
dents enlisting their aid followed a
call by Senator Bankhead and cot
ton manufacturers on War Mobili-
zation Director Byrnes.
Justice Byrnes assured the full
cooperation of his Office in carry
ing out the directive in the So
called Bankhead-B Brown cotton
amendment that cotton prices and
other farm prices be raised to par
ity," Senator Bankhead said in a
statement.
At an earlier conference with
group of cotton manufacturers.
Senator Bankhead said a number of
specific steps intended to raise cot
ton prices were considered, includ-
ing the use of 971a to 100 per cent
Of parity loans in the event that
other action contemplated does not
accomplish the result.
It was agreed, he said, that the
OPA should finish the task of
revising and establishing adequate
textile ceilings under the Bank
head-Brown amendment as soon as
possible. There is no question that
this would remove a factor which
has had a depressing effect upon
the cotton market.
Senator Bankhead added he would
meet next week with representatives
of the cotton merchants looking to
their cooperation in an overall
program
He said he was requesting the
Governors and other Southern
leaders to urge producers to keep
their cotton off the market until
prices approximate parity, which is
from S6 to So per bale above the
new 1914 loan rates"
Senator Bankhead said the mill
representatives were "in full accord"
with the proposals.
