in Theatre No. /, the Fort Hua-
chuca Suggestions Committee
will award ITO in cash prizes
to eight civilian employees. In
connection with the ceremony
a War Department film, "Sug-
gestion Power" showing the
contribution to the war effort civilian
suggestions have made will be ex-.
hibited. All civilian employees will
attend, and military personnel who
can be spared from duty are invited.
Among the recipients of the
awards are: Tony S. Cornejo, COM
missary, for suggesting method of
rearrangement of storage space for
better refrigeration and less spoilage
of perishables; Enoch w. ChriStof-
ferson, ON Transportation Ware
house, for work simplification sug-
gestion; Frank Avery, laundry, who
made a dollie for Strengthening col
lar bands on shirts presses; William
P. Drynan, laundry, for rearrange-
ment of distributing department at
the laundry, resulting in a saving of
time and effort.
Also Anna L. Barber, G & E re-
pair shop, who suggested a change
in the layout at the shop, thereby
creating greater efficiency; Merriam
Brooks, Post Exchange, for simpli-
fled method of accounting ration
coupons.
To Charles L. Lewis and L. E.
Womack, for converting a coal burn
ing heater into an automatic gas

Post Engineers.
The Suggestions program is open
to both civilian and military per-
sonnel, although military are not
eligible for cash awards. They may,
however, receive promotions, fur
loughs and preference in assignment
as their awards.
Civilians may receive up to $3.50
as prize for single suggestion.
In the event the idea is applicable
throughout the Army, the prize may
be increased up to $500.
Suggestions are sifted through the
local Post committee, and those
deemed of value are rewarded and
put into use. If, in the opinion of the
committe the idea has wider use,
it is sent on to higher headquarters.
Suggestions need not be the in
vention of devices or gadgets, as is
commonly supposed. Any suggestion
that will save man-hours, or mate
rial and equipment is wanted. In
addition, those ideas that would re-
suit in increased safety on the job,
or better health and working condi-
tions and increase the morale of
workers is welcome. The saving of
actual dollars and cents is not re-
quired, if the suggestion would offer
other values. 1t is not even necessary
to write out the plan fully, if one
does not care to do SO. Simply write
on Suggestion blank, "I have an
idea to do so and so" and submit it
with your name. The committee will
then investigate, and the plan can
be explained verbally.

High Official
Sees No Chance
Under Laborites
Says Colonial
Office Out OF
Politics 20 Years

WASHINGTON - (ANP) -
A high British official of the
colonial office says there is not
likely to be any change in policy
tward the colonies simply because
Of the Labor party's ascendence to
power.
He is Sir Gerard Clausen, per-
manent assistant secretary OF
state for colonies, who is here
with the mission headed by AM
bassador Lord Halifax and Lord
Keyes to discuss financial and
economic matters with this gov
eminent. Sir Gerard is advising
Sir Percivale Liesching on the
economic phases of the. talks as
they may affect or involve tie
colonies.
"oUT OF POLITICS"
"There. will be no change, he
declared, 'sbecause the colonial Of
flee has been out of politics for
the past 20 years. It stands to
reason that the hope Of both
sides is to promote the empire and
the colonies and to help toward
self-government as quickly as
they can get there"
He said there is "no ground
for argument" although there
may be differences as to the
precise arrangements for achiev-
ing the ends sought, but as he as
serted again, 81 don't think there
will be any change"
He did see possible a slight
change in emphasis. explaining
that whereas the Conservatives
under Winston Churchill may
have been interested more in one
phase of colonial development,
the Laborites under Clement At
tlee may favor another emphasis.
WELFARE BILL
At present, he said, the gov
eminent is doing all it can to int
prove the colonies under the new
Colonial Development and Wei
fare bill. This measure was orr
ginally passed in 1910 and carried
an ALLEGATION of $50 million a
year. This was raised last spring
to a new figure of 48Omillion
for 10 year period.
Sir Gerard has been with the
colonial office for Is years and
has seen the growth OF policy
over that period. He is primarily
in charge of economic matters in
that office, which began with
one-man staff and has grown con-
siderably in the years since until
now it is a major division coor,
dinating economic policy IN all
the colonies.

A Precedent

President Truman'S appointment
eff -Frpir-C, Mollison,- Chicago law
yer, to the United States Cuctoms
Court sets a precedent. No colored
person has ever before been ap-
pointed to a Federal court within
the continental United States high
er than the District of Columbia
Municipal Court.
What relationship, if any, this
appointment bears to the agitation
for appointment of Bill HASTE, for
mer Federal judge of the Virgin
Islands, is not established. But one
thing is certain Bill Dawson,
Chicago Congressman and assistant
to Bob Hannegan, chairman Of the
Democratic national committee,
supported Mollison.
wson declined to support
HASTE. One of bis chief reasons
was that HASTE had threatened
during the campaign to bolt the
Roosevelt Truman ticket. To
man who believes in party 10y
atty, as does Dawson, t hat
threat was 1ese majestic
sss
, Whether Dawson persuaded Han
negan to the political wisdom Of ap-
pointing a colored man to the bench
Of a Federal court in the continent
tai United States is not known
Nevertheless, it is a fair assumption
from the evidence at hand. His
motives matter not. The important
thing is the principle that colored
pepole are citizens of these United
States and are entitled to recogni-
ton in the filing of Federal offices.
Supreme Court has nine justices,
There are fifty-seven Federal cir
cult judges, and 1856 district judges.
The United States Court of Gus
