PITTSBURGH SCHOOLS TO
START PROGRAM
AGAINST BIAS

PITTSBURGH, May "a (ANP)
The local public school system
will inaugurate its new program to
fight intolerance, racial and re-
ligious, this fall.
The revelation that the local To-
cal schools plan to join the struggle
to conquer racial and religion bias

are made along with the disclosure
that preparation had been underway
for nearly two years to combat the
evils.
The new anti-bias program will
be launched on plan similar to an
overall of intercultural education
originated five years ago in Spring
field, Mass. A committee has been
appointed to integrate the curricu-
lum, backed by local groups of all
races, so that intercultural educa-
ton would permeate every course.
One aspect of Pittsburgh's plan
as contrasted with Springfield's is
that in Springfield, the fountain
head for intercultural relations is
the board of education, which then
spreads its influence through the
town. This city, however, began to
solve its problems on a community
basis during the last war, which
means that the community had set
up its system before the schools
took a hand in the problem.
This city was settled mainly by
the Scotch-Irish in the early 1800's
and they have grown to power
through successive waves of i'm
migration. The local population
now boasts Irish, German, Polish,
Czechoslovak, Russian, Yugoslav,
Greek, Lityanian, Hungarian, Ital-
ian and Negroes.
A new emphasis will be placed
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-05-24

on racial and religious origins but
the framework of history, social
studies and language arts will re-
main. The children will be taught
that the pilot of Columbus'ship,
Pedro Alonzo, was a black man;
five members of Columbus crew
were Jews; Italian spaghetti and
Hungarian goulash are fine dishes
to learn in cooking class: Crispus
Attucks, A Negro, was one of the
first four men to die in the Boston
Massacre.
The essence of the program, ac-
cording to DR.. Charles Manwiller,
who directed the curriculum and
research, is simple one.
"We have to learn to live with
people, to like them and to let them
know it," he says. Otherwise
American civilization will revolve
around technology and that only
as long as Yankee ingenuity can
produce weapons with a slight mar
gin of superiority to those of the
rest of the rest of the world"
However" he says, "a purely
intellectual and factual approach
to intercultural education will not
reach far. A teacher must reach
the social and emotional level of the
child's experience.

The bill, which will enable the

Miss Whites voice is one of more
than usual range, breadth and quail
ity that glows particularly in i'm
passioned utterances. She sings
slightly under pitch which was quite
noticeable in the Bizet song at the
end of which the vocalist sings un-
accompanied and the piano brings
in the final chord. Her stage de-
meanor is one of confidence and she
enunciates well.
but this later good trait lays
bare whatever blemishes in foreign
languages she still possesses. And
no matter how enthusiastic we may
be in her talent, that enthusiasm is
duly bound to increase in proportion
as she acquires greater warmth and
finish in matters pertaining to in
depreciation.
Her best renditions were "Aufen-
thalt" and Der Schmied" and she
did a capable piece work in the
Italian aria. Frederick Kitzinger
accompanied effectively.

lBy the Associated Pressl

A labor dispute in Detroit, one of score across the country which kept some 50000 men and women off their jobs, prevented an esti- mated half million persons from getting their regular supply of milk today.

 Other labor disputes, some of long duration, affected the fuel and arms industries. In Detroit alone con- troversies curtailed or halted opera tions in six separate plans involving more than 5000 workers.
 There were disputes involving CIO oil and gas workers in the United Fuel Gas Company serving six East ern States; United Mine Workers at five mines in Pennsylvania and Ohio; shipbuilding employees in New Jersey; and workers on B-29 pomb- CTS in Chicago.

FEDERAL PAY
 PICTURE GETS DARKER DAILY
Bartlett DistIoses Further Discrimination Pend
 ing for Alaska

A constantly darkening pay pie ture is being shown Alaska resi- dents on the Federal payroll as more information is received from Washington, D. C.. concerning the executive order proposed to strike wage differentials for all except those hired in the 48 States or the District of Columbia.
 Ava w. Blackerby, local presi- dent of the National Federation of Federal Employees today cited from letter received from Alaska Delegate E. L. Bartlett dated July ', which contradicts the previous impression that the pending order would maintain pay differentials for those already employed in the Federal Service.
 MT. Bartlett said, in part: Tt (the proposed executive order) car- ries provision relating to Alas kans already hired and receiving the differential, to the effect that the differential for them shall be decreased by the amount their ba- sic pay is increased. That is the additional money they would re- ceive under the new pay bill
 Downey Bill recently enacted by Congress- would not represent a clear gain because the differential would be decreased in correspond ing amount"
 Delegate Bartlett expressed his intention to do all he can to pre- vent approval of the order which would cut between $360,O0O and s400,000 yearly from Federal pay checks in Juneau alone. Alaska's Delegate is working on the matter in conjunction with the Delegate to Congress from Hawaii, Joseph R. Harrington.
 MT. Bartlett also stated that Sec retary of the Interior Harold Ickes too feels the measure is discrim- inatory to Alaskans and has direct ed top officials of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions actively to oppose Presidential ap- proval of the pending order.

DIFFERENTIAL PAY PLAN IS BEING FOUGHT

WASHINGTON, July 1l.-Terri- torial Delegates in Congress are feuding with the War and Navy de- partments over pay differential plan put into effect July 1.
 Under the plan, which Delegate Bartlett tD.-Alaska) says has been turned down by other departments and agencies, classified civil work CT recruited from outside the Ter ritories receives 25 per cent more pay than worker in the same grade recruited locally.
 Delegate Harrington tR.-Hawaii) has joined Bartlett in an effort to have the order set aside. Bartlett described the order as fantastic, ridiculous and discriminatory"
 All departments. Bartlett explain ed, have been paying 25 per cent differential to all civil employees in the Territories since the start of the war. The Army and Navy now exclude employees whose homes are in the Territories.
 Its silly Bartlett told a re- porter. that two persons doing identical work shall have their pay established by residential qualifica- tions."
 He said the order was put into effect without consultation with any of the agencies or individuals really conversant with the facts.
 Bartlett said Senator Magnuson CD. Wash.) is aiding the fight against the differential plan.

President Plans Program for Conference with
 Churchill, Stalin
By ERNEST B. yACCARO

ABOARD CRUISER AUGUSTA WITH PRESIDENT TRUMAN, July ll.-President Truman began whip ping into final form today mass of data he will present to the Big Three meeting at Potsdam next week
 He called Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Admiral William D.. Leahy into the Augustus AdmiraPs cabin, where former President Roos- evelt and Prime Minister Churchill held most of their Atlantic Charter conferences in the ominous days of 1941.
 There, for several hours, the three assisted by diplomatic and military experts, worked over an accumula- ticn of documents.
 While plans for a visit to London after the meeting with Premier Stalin and Prime Minister Churchill still are tentative, the President has no plans at all for visiting France.
 He is going into the conference without prior consultation with Churchill, apparently with a view to assuring the Russians he has no intention of making any independ- ent agreements, even on a tentative nature.
 Correspondents aboard the Aug usta still are not permitted to dis close the Presidsnt's disembarkation port or the time of his likely ar rival there.

 OF KIND IN HISTORY

WASHINGTON, 'July 1.-The 26,3l3,000, 900 Seventh War Loan has gone down in history as the biggest financing operation of this or any other war.

Channel Beats lis Overall Quota = Ketchikan
 Is Top City

All the forebodings concerning the progress of the Seventh War Loan in Alaska were found unfounded when the final returns were totalled -Alaska again had gone over the top, hitting ll8.6 percent of it's $4,- 100000 overall quota.
 Not only did the Territory sell $4,- 476,546.05 worth of all types of ae- curities, but. according to final fig ures released here today by the War Finance Committee. Series E" bond sales also passed the two and one half million dollar mark set for them ''E" Bonds were sold through out the Territory to the amount of $2.66l, ,649, or 1064 percent of the goal.
 Though missing its "E" Bond mark by narrow margin with sales of S214,3l5.75 against its $225, 1000 quota. the Juneau-Douglas area ex- ceeded it's overall goal by fourth. The Channel district had been asked to buy $425,000 worth of all types of bonds during the Seventh War Loan. It did buy $532, ,58675 worth. Helping to swell the local returns were purchases by individuals of other than "E'' Bonds. Those larger individual purchases more than doubled their $50,O00 mark, totaling $ll9,224. Local corporations, with a goal of $l50,000. bested their quota also, purchasing securities to the tune of $l99,O27.
 An all-Alaska mark of one-half million dollars was set for individual purchases other than 'E" Bonds. That mark was almost doubled, with sales of s970,306. Corporations also passed their Territory-wide goal by IA percent. They bought total of S1,ll4,591.50 worth of securities where they had been asked to pur- chase an even million dollars worth
 Ketchikan topped all Alaska cities in overall support of the Seventh War Loan, selling 202l per cent of the quota asked from First City residents. Flat almost doubled its quota. Fort Yukon hit 1893 per cent: Platium 1913; Petersburg 144.3: Palmer 1852; Craig 1349 and Wrangell l279 per cent.
