versed on appeal supported by the
ACLU by a naval board of review
sitting in Washington, DC. A set
back was registered during the
year when the supreme court re-
fused to hear the case of soldier,
Winifred Lynn, challenging the
legality of racially segregated draft
quotas. Lynn had been sent over
seas while his appeal was pending.
The report notes that of 33 per-
sons serving prison sentences un-
der war laws for speeches or publ
cations, "25 are members of OBJ
scure Negro anti-war religious
sects."
Discrimination against Negro
teachers in matters of pay received
a strong judicial blow" in a re-
cent decision of the U. S. Circuit
Court sitting in ST. Paul, Minn., re-
lversing an Arkansas federal court
and upholding the suit of Little
Rock Negro teachers who claimed
they were being Disseminated
against. An attempt to get the U. S.
ISupreme Court to review the legal
lity of restrictive covenants barring
Negroes from ownership or occu-
pancy of real estate failed, how
lever, when the court declined to
hear a District of Columbia case,
presumably because the covenant
in question was about to expire"
The effect of the U. S. Supreme
Court decision last year outlawing
the exclusive white primary cleo
ton in the solid south varied
greatly in the different Southern
states," according to the ACLU.
In Texas tens of thousands of Ne
groes and Mexican Americans
voted in the Democratic primary
for the first time because of a party
split in which both sides tried to
enlist as many votes as possible.
i Negroes voted freely in Arkansas,
but were rebuffed in their efforts
to vote in Georgia and other states.
| Test cases were arranged by the
ACLU in cooperation with the
NAACP in Georgia, and another
one brought by the Department OF
Justice is pending.
Of issues affecting other racial
minorities the ACLU noted that
"the most complete and tragic ex.
hibition of race prejudice against q
single minority in American his.
tory-The wholesale evacuation o1
the entire population Of japanese
ancestry from the west coast-was
concluded, in principle anyhow, by
the revocation of the military ex
clusion orders last December" The
ACLU scored the supreme court
opinion sustaining the evacuation
however, as furnishing constitu
tional precedent for racial discrim

Mayor Roger Lapham Wednesday
approved a resolution creating a
city-sponsored trust fund fer the
rebuilding of Manila, and called
upon residents of San Francisco

ute thl ough q parade of dimes"
The original proposal for a Manila
parade of dimes" was suggested by
a neighborhood San Francisco news

board of supervisors, in a formal
resolution.
In affixing my approval to the
proposal in which the board of SUI
pervisors has received that the
mayor appoint citizens committee

calling upon the citizens OF San
Francisco, and for residents of other
communities for that matter, to be
as generous as they see fit in in
augurating this parade of dimes to
provide funds for Manila'S recon-
struction,' said Mayer Lapham.
Il note that the resolution also
calls on the citizens committee to
communicate with the governors of
the several states, urging them by
proclamation or such other means
as they deem exredient to seek
lupport from the citizens Of their
area.
THE treasurer and the controller
of the city and county CT San Fran
cisco are authoi lied and directed TO
create a trust fund in the city and

intention of the national admins

pansion providing 60.000,000 jobs.
The address was interpreted in po-
litical circles as a possible bid by
Kenny for the 1916 Democratic
nomination for governor.
William NJ. Malone chairman CT
the Democratic state central COM
mittee, formally asked the caucus
to unite in support of workable"
health insurance bill, which he said
should be compulsory.
Malone asked. however, that the
Democrats not yet commit them
selves to any one of several medical
care bills before the legislature.
Compulsory health insurance, :
he declared. had long been a
Democratic goal 1t should not be
opposed new just because a bill IS
sponsored by Governor Warren
The assembly public health COM
mittee late Tuesday voted unani-
mously to wait until March 27 be-
fore reopening hearings on the
health insurance bills. The motion
to delay consideration of Warren'S
bill and similar measures was made
by Augustus Hawkins, CD, Los An
geles, one of the sponsors OF a C1O-
backed health bill. 1t was not de-
bated.
Senator Byrl Salsman, (R0, Palo
Alto, upper house author OF War
rens health bill, said he will urge
the senate's governmental efficiency
committee to begin its hearings
March Is. The governors office Is
believed to want the assembly move
the legislation before it is taken up
by the upper house.
Salsman said he had urged the
governors office to "act on the
health bill before the tax program
is taken up" reversing the order OF
assembly action and senate consid-
Grafton.
Kenny declared that the cities
and counties ale desperately III
need of help" Let the governor
answer to them" he said.
I'VE are not suggesting any
amount, but we do favor helping
tie cities and counties.
The attorney general did not,
however, spe officially indorse a
League CT California Cities plll
which would set aside S10o,o00,O0O
for local public works. Funds would
be derived by restoring state taxes
to 1943 levels, reduced by the l943
legislature.

By GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Staff Writer

Carp is delicious fresh water fish often overlooked by housewives. As a first-class no-point protein, it deserves more attention.
 Carp in paprika sauce puts a lyrical note in the meatless menu, according to Rose Hampton, Amer ican soprano of the Metropolitan Opera. Miss Hampton is a good cook and gives two favorite recipes.
 Carp in Paprika Sauce
 (Serves 6)
 One 4-pound carp, 2 large yellow onions, teaspoon butter or forti- fled margarine.
 Slice the carp in six pieces. Sim- mer chopped onions with the fat and two cups of water for one half hour on slow fire. Add one teaspoonful of paprika and salt to taste, and put in the fish. Cover with water and allow to simmer for three-quarters of an hour. Serve with boiled potatoes.
 Potato-Egg Casserole
 -tOexVcS Ob
 Two pounds potatoes, eggs, 1 pint sour cream, tablespoons forti- fled margarine, bread crumbs.
 Hard cook the eggs Boil potatoes linpeeled but do not allow them to become too soft. While they are cooling, slice the hard-cooked eggs. Grease casserole. Place layer of sliced potatoes on the bottom of the dish. then a layer of sliced eggs, and continue until the dish is half full. Pour on half of the sour cream and continue to fill the dish with alternate layers of potatoes and eggs. Salt and pepper to taste.
 If you have leftover chopped ham or frankfurters, place the meat between layers of potatoes and eggs. Cut margarine into small pieces and place on top, then pour over it the rest of the sour cream. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, place in a hot oven (400 degrees F) and bake for one-half hour.

New York -- For fall and winter new lounging ensembles will bloom with out-of-season, hand-painted roses, and will be lit up like a jew eler's window by sequins.
 Collections bristle with fabric in terest - brocade, satin damask, vel vet, hand-painted crepes, and woven plaid taffetas. Combined for all of the excitement woman could crave are blck velvet, which makes yoked waistband slacks, and hand-painted crepe which fashions the tuck-!n blouse.
 This especially effective combi- nation, sponsored by Clare Potter, is seen above at right. On a ''can- vas" of blue and white checked background crepe, huge red roses and black abstract motifs are hand-painted to turn blouse into conversation piece.
 For more elegance, thanks to a movie "A Thousand and One Nights" = in which the girls swank it in such alluring togs that a manufacturer has been inspired to copy some of the styles. Typical examples are the other two styles pictured. At left, above, multi colored plaid taffeta makes a tunic-type coat with ruffled re- vers and self belt, which tops slim green crepe trousers. At lower right the overblouse, worn with black crepe trousers.
