 The Hollywood Reporter debunkS a coast radio station with this shove: KITS announcement that, after after March l, commentators ex- pressing personal opinions and in- terpretations will be discontinued, did not ruffle the industry, nor did it cause any great amount of seri- ous comment. Since KFI insists that the station employ its OWL neWscasterS and analysts, perhaps someone will ask: What difference does it make whether a sponsor or radio station pays him?' Afte- all, it will still be the analysts version. AS to either the network or the station furnishing qualified commentators, we would like to ask how many commentators or an- alysts have been right since the wal began? Talk to any of the re- turned correspondents (radlo) anc each one has a different idea anc q different story to tell regarding military strategy and politics.

(ANP)-White members of the
Pensacola Ministerial association,
taking cognizance of the deplorable
situation on city buses for Negro
passengers, voted that they would
make representation to city officials

series of sermons urging a more
tolerant attitude on the part of their
congregations.
Holding a lengthy discussion on
the matter, the ministers agreed
that especially aggravated was the
treatment that Negro servicemen
were forced to undergo, several of

BOSTON, March IL (ANP)-
The establishment of the Massachu-

by the co-chairman, Edward Burke,
Mrs. Howard Mumford Jones, and
Thomas c. Bappas. The committee
which will devote itself to stimulat-
ing public support for the passage
of legislation prohibiting discrim-
ination in employment because Of
race, creed, or descent, has attracted
the support of many prominent citi-
zens throughout the common
wealth.
Several bills have been filed in
the state legislature by individual
representatives and by organiza-
tions such as the American Jewish
congress, the NAACP and the CIO.
In general those bills provide for a
committee which will have the
power to conduct education pro-
grams intended to prevent discrim-
ination and the further power to in
vestigate cases of discrimination
brought to it's attention. The bills
provide penalties for wilful viola
ton and for court review.

Negroes who have the greatest col

OkinoWo Explosion Kills Six
 Dynomite Stored
 In Cave Wounds
 23 Other Sailors

Pearl Harbof, Oct. 16-(UP)--' Warships were hurled against one another SO violently during the ty- phoon which swept Okinawa last week that bottoms were ripped out of vessels and their backs were broken. Depth charges exploding on their decks added to the de- struction.
 Reports reaching here said the USS Southern Seas, Q former luxury yacht owned by Cyrus Curtis, pub- fisher of The Saturday Evening Post, was ralnmed by dozen ships before she finally broke up and sank.
 The bottom was torn out of the 10000 ton USS Ocelot after she was rammed five times. The Derelict was blown in half when the mine sweeper YP289 crashed into 1t with such force that depth charges on the sweep exploded. The YP289 lost its stern in the explosion and ] finally was cut in half by a, third ship.
 There were no fatalities aboard 1 the Ocelot. One seriously injured, was reported on the sweeper. Ems. Bernard J. Cohen, Brooklyn, N. Y., who was aboard the Southern Seas, reported that the 17O-tnile- an-hour wind which swept Buckner Bay anchorage snapped the cable on the yacht and her captain, It. Charles McNfichael of Alexandria, La, was unable to control her.
 A large merchant ship rammed the yacht, then the propellers of the merchantman hacked huge pieces out of the small ship. Most of the yachts crew were trans ferred to other ships. Five men who had been left aboard were swept overheard by Q huge whirl" pool. Cohen and a signalman were the only two rescued.
 Reports also were received here of a dynamite explosion on Okin- ava last Thursday which killed six sailors and wounded 23 othres. The dynamite, stored in a cave, caught fire and exploded, leveling every thing within 1000 feet. Many lives were saved by warning shouted by Billy M. Burnett, radioman 2/c Of Washington, Ind.
