Gov. Walter E. Edge asking that

Of race, color or creed. The bill will
also go to the maj jority and minority

next two weeks, it was announced
by DR.. Frank Kingdom, state chair

DR.. Kingdom charged that Gov.
Edge ignored the entire issue of
combating discrimination in his
annual message to the legislature"
For the past seven months, the
League has been campaigning for
state FEPC. The campaign ended
when the bill was planned and COM

Kingdom said that laws now on

New Jersey would not be as elab-
crate as New York's but would en-
body the same principles.

ChrysIer Tank
Production

DETROIT, June Is - (R -
The Chrysler Corporation re-
ported today that it has turned
out enough tanks to equip 100
armored divisions.
X. T. Keller, Chrysler presi-
