Truman Given
Support
Pledge
Continued from page I

nue. the fight to preserve ana eX-
tend New Deal legislation; that
like his predecessor he will fol-
low a course at least somewhat
"left or center"
What also encouraged labor
in that belief is Truman's own
record of support of New Deal
laws and of measures sought by
the trade union movement TO
improve the lot of the nations
workers.
Sponsors "Full Employment
For example, one of Tru-
mans last acts while senator
was to add his name as spon-
sor of the "full employment
bill, drafted by Senator James
E. Murray 3D., Mont.), which is
designed to help achieve the
late President Roosevelt's goal
of 10000, 900 jobs after the war.
In effect, the bill guarantees
the fright to a job" for every
person able and willing to work,
and provides that the President
each year shall frame nation
al budget" which would contain
estimates of the amount of en-
ployment likely to be provided
during the year in private en-
terprise and government agen-
cies. If that estimate fell short
of full employment, the gov
ernment would take whatever
steps are necessary to fill the
gap.
Another favorable straw in
the wind was Truman's action
in giving more authority to Sec,
retary of Commerce Henry Wal
lace by signing an executive or
der which transferred the office
Of surplus property from the
Treasury to Wallace's depart
ment.
Favorable to FEPC
An equally encouraging de-
velopment was Truman's decla'
ration at his press conference
that he still stood by his recorc
on the creation of permanent
Fair Employment Practice:
Committee to assure a square
deal for Negro workers. The
record shows that Truman fa'
vors such an FEPC with teeth
in it for enforcement.
Meanwhile, as Truman swung
into the duties of his high of
flee he was assured of unquali
fled support from the leaders o.
all branches of organized labor
President William Green o.
the AFL declared: franklin D
Roosevelt was president of al
the people and so will be hi

Quest For Riches Of Ell Dorado, Degion
OF Fabulous Riches, Lured Explorers

Ell Dorddo-that mythical land
teemiag acith gold-aUas the Mre
which aoily Indians used to rid
themselves of the Spanish ddUen-
turers Uho first landed on the
shores of South America. How
the aChite man greedy for riches
pursued the aoill-o'- -the-Wisp and
Incidentally explored and coioniz-
ed the continent is told IN the
folloariag article.-EDITeR
From earliest antiquity, desire for
gold has spurred men on to ac-
complish great things. Greed and
thirst for riches have, somehow, al
ways been one of the strongest in
centives to exploration, to conquest
and to the spreading of civilization.
One cannot help but wonder, some
times, if the purpose of the strange
myth of Ell Dorado was not to help
accomplish the colonization of the
Americas by Turing Europeans to a
new world full of hardships and
dangers to which they might not
have come had it not been for the
promise of gold and riches.
While the early Spanish adventur-
ers in America are justly charged
with neglecting the true interests of
colonization in their excessive greed
for treasure, and thereby bringing
harm to those parts of the Western
Continent which they entered, it
cannot be denied that their irrepres-
sible seeking for the precious metals
contributed directly to an earlier
knowledge and a more rapid settle
ment of the country.
In pursuit of an unattainable land
of Ell Dorado, the Spaniards and
later the English, explored practical
ly all the northwest of South
America, putting in motion, for the
better part of three centuries, a
series of daring explorations never
since equaled."
The legend of FL Dorado was
partially based on fact. 1t had its
origin in the strange custom of a
Chibchan tribe of upper Columbia
whose chieftain was, on certain
ceremonial occasions annointed with
some viscous substance which was
then overspread with powdered gold
so that his whole body seemed to
be made of the precious metal.
Clad in this light but costly man.
ner, the Indian Chief entered the
waters of a lake on the shores or
which he lived. He then was placed
on a raft together with a quantity
of gold and emeralds, his offering to
the gods.
Arriving at the middle of the lake,
which was surrounded by a vast
multitude of men and women, shout
ing and playing on musical instru-
ments of various kinds, he made his
offering by throwing into the lake
all the treasures that he had at his
feet. After this ceremony was over,
he returned to the shore where,
amid acclamations, music and rejoic-
ing, he was received as their legitim-
ate lord and prince.
