Cora Moore
Recital at ny"
Is Success

The first big effort by the Pas
tors Aid Society of Wayman A.
NJ. E. church, Minneapolis, under
Rev. L. P. Ashford, a recital pre-
senting Cora E. Moore, lyric So
prano, is reported to have been one
of the most successful of its kind,
this season.
Mrs. Moore, who appeared at
Benton Hall, Minneapolis Y. W. C..
A, July 13, seemed to be at her
best, singing Aria: "Ah Fors; e.
lui" from "La Traviata," by Verdi,
and Prices "Oh What a Beautiful
City," the spiritual which the audi
ence plauded until Mrs. Moore re-
turned for an encore. John NJ.
Whitaker, director of music at
Halle Q. Brown House, st. Paul,
was her accompanist. She was pre-
sented a bouquet of sweet peas and
gladiolas, from the sponsoring
group, American Beauty roses
from the Senior choir of st. James
A. NJ. E. church, St. Paul, of which
Mrs. Moore is directress, and Amer
lean Beauty roses from her hus-
band, Rev. B. N. Moore, pastor of
st. James.
Patrons whose names were re-
ported too late to be included on
the program are Mr.. and Mrs.
William Miller, Matte Strong,
Henry Turner, BERTHE Oniel and
Rev. ]. C. Clayburn.

of the Public Health Service, Fed
eral Security Agency, who admin
listers the U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps,
announced this week.
The Negro students were includ-
ed among a total of 61.471 enrol
lees in the last year. This marked
the second consecutive year that
the U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps had
exceeded its recruiting quota, DR..
Parran said.
The quota for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1916, was 10000.
For the last six months of 1915 the
annual quota will be the same as
last years. Military and civilian
nursing needs will be reviewed by
the Public Health Service late in
the year to determine whether any
changes in the student nurse quota
are indicated in relation to the
course of the war.
As of May 81 last, there was a
total of ALPS Negro student nurses
who were receiving free tuition
under the Cadet Nurse Corps pro-
gram. Of this number, 2SS are now
seniors in 25 schools of nursing
admitting only Negroes, and SOC
are seniors in IA other schools.

back from overseas where Presi-
dent Truman has signed it. The
FEPC item, contained in the War
Agencies Bill, which was booted
around the Congress for weeks
includes a provision for liquidation
of the agency by June, 1916, but
says the $25O,O0O may be used for
operation expenses IF and until"
the Congress enacts permanent
legislation.
The National Council for a Per-
manent FEPC announced it was
beginning Immediately to redouble
its efforts toward enactment of the
permanent legislation in the fall.
Its first job is to obtain about 70
more signatures on the discharge
petition in order to bring the
FEPC bill before the House of Rep
resentatives. The House Rules
Committee has refused to grant a
rule to enable the House to vote
on the measure. a.
Not an Adequate Sum
Although the compromise bill
passed both Houses of Congress,
it gives the FEPC less than half
of the $4,000 it requested for its
budget.
In one section of the bill, the
FEPC is ordered to iquidate,
which would require a large part
of its funds, but another section
states that it doesn't need to spend
any of its money on liquidation,
and as yet neither the House nor
the Senate knows which proviso
will guide the FEPC.
It is not known whether the
agency will have to use a large
portion of its $25O,OOO in liquida-
ton, or will be able to spend
the entire sum on processing
cases on discrimination by en-
ployers because of race, color or
creed.
In the Senate Senator Wayne
Morris (R) of Oregon talked for
two hours against the compromise
bill, contending that the agency
needed the full amount recon-
mended to operate, but his argu-
ments were of no avail.

Leadership Lacking

Strong leadership has been wanting at Hartford this year. It wasn't always like that at the Capitol when the Legislature was in session. And there have been other sessions, too, during which control of the two houses was vested in opposing political parties just as it is today. And there were days too, when control of both houses was centered in the one party, which was not of the same po- litical faith as that of the chief eXecu- tive, yet there was leadership at Hart ford and a definite legislative program was achieved.
 It's hard to place the blame this time, but it is pretty obvious by this time that neither Republicans nor Democrats have been able to offer proof of sufficient leadership. If there was a strong leader in either party he would have made him. self felt by this time. Here it is almost the middle of May and the current legis Native session will cease in another three weeks. Little or nothing has been accom- plished in the way of major legislation. Only one major bill has been put through -labOr'S control act.
 Few towns or cltleS have succeeded m securing passage of legislation vital to their interests during the coming two years, Waterbury among them. True, there have been favorable reports and in some instances favorable action by one or the other house, but the number of bills signed by the governor has been few and far between, Major appointments are waiting the pleasure of legislators. No attempt has been made so far to bring out slate of judicial appointments, for the simple reason that so many are grab ping for the plums that everyones hands are all tangled up in one pile.
 It's virtually impossible now to produce order out of the tangle into which the Assembly seems to have fallen. Party leaders had better start to take stock of their shelves. They need to do something about rebuilding their lost fortunes. If this session was any indication of the state of either of the major parties then they had better look to their laurels when the next state election rolls around. And in the meantime there might be little personal weighing-up of abilities to see if changes aren't in order from top to bot tom.

Views Of The Press
THE PARTY LEVER BILL
Bridgeport PosD

lSrlQgePOTl POSt)
 Calling attention to the bill rec cmmenCed by Governor Baldwin and endorsed by most Of the press in Connecticut, which would end strict party lsve. voting in Connec- ticut, and encourage voters to use the utmost freedom in selecting their candidates from any party Alan H Olmstead in his column Connecticut Yankee makes some shreWd observations on the ten dency of both political parties ia our Legislature to gain credit for the bill by passing it in ore House and killing it in another. Each party takes a bow for having passed the measure but the people don't get the law Concerning the par ty lever bill AHO writes:
 This measure, designed to free Connecticut voters from the dom inatiOn of the party lever routine was judged the first time around On a very special basis The Repub- licans favored it because they wanted to keep state Democrats from riding on a famous pair of coat tails The Democrats opposed it because they wanted to keep rid ing on those coat tails. But in the midst of legislative acton on the measure the owner of those fa- nous coat tails died. This means that politically speaking the Demo- crats no longer have anything in particular to lose by the measure, the Republicans no longer anything particular to gain"
 That being so, isn't this the most opportuce of all times to consider the measure strictly on it's interests, without any political weighting? Why uot revive the bill and pass it in both Houses as an act of sheer constructive statesmanship without any politics in it?
 There isn't a member of either political party who will not admit in his soul that freedom of voting should be encouraged not discour- aged, and that the ability of the people to pick and choose their candidates from either party with out the domination of the party lever would put pressure on all parties to nominate better men and to win independent votes in that manner.
 That would be good for the state of Connecticut and since the pres ent situation is one in which either party as a party has nothing to win or lose by the proposed change it would seem an opportune time to press for its passage. Here's hop ing that the Legislature will seize this chance to show its statesman ship.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-10
Debt Discharged

Gratitude is an admirable quality, and for politicians a valuable one. But Harry Truman is President now and Tom Pen dergast is dead. Let's hope that with the nomination of Sam Wear as United States Attorney for the Kansas City dis trict, Mr. Truman will close the books on his early political debts.
 All that we know about MT. Wear is that he is Democratic state chairman for Missouri. He may never have heard the name of the late Tom Pendergast. But Maurice Milligan, whose reappointment Mr. Truman blocked, did know the Mis- souri boss He sent him to the peni- tentiary.
 It will always be assumed that this, rather than the length of Mr. Milligan's tenure as U. s. attorney caused his re- tirement.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-10
Black Markets

The black market is claiming another victim. Eggs, which escaped for long time, now are falling under the rac- keteers' sway. The only protein food still reasonably free from such illegal in- fluences seems to be fish, and developing market conditions may soon remove that lone exception.
 Eggs were slow to attract the price gougers' attention because up to recently they were very plentiful. But now they are tightening up and the chiSelerS are muscling in. At least 25 New York whole SalerS have gone out of business because they say they can't get eggs.
 Insiders say that other wholesalers are considering whether to shut down, try to keep going on legitimate supplies or capitulate to the black market.
 Not long ago eggs were so abundant that both trade and government agencies said they were one protein you could de- pend upon. In fact, the prospect had WFA worried enough to ask for Is per cent cut in output so that the admins tration would not have to turn few million dozens into fertilizer again this year.
 But the meat shortage caused poultry shortage Black marketers showed the re- tail price up as much as 75 cents a pound for chicken. Poultrymen began shifting from white leghorns, which lay lot of eggs but weigh little, to breeds that lay Jess but weigh more-Rhode Island and New Hampshire Reds, Plymouth and Bar red Rocks.
 Meanwhile incubator operators rushed to market to get eggs for matching and Uncle Sam, who had been shipping to our men overseas the nutritious but not very palatable powdered eggs, discovered a way to ship eggs in shells, and began buying in larger quantities.
 Taking one consideration with another, the egg-eater's life is getting unhappier every day. Fish, too, seemed fairly plenti- full, and the black marketerS pretty much ignored it. But fish is also tightening up.
 The Army has asked for 25 per cent of the Boston catch of haddock, polack, cod, and scrod toward an overall order for 25 million pounds of frozen filets The Navy wants 10 per cent of the Boston catch. Both reouisitions are expected to
