Blind RACE HATRED

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 8 (ANP)
Blind race hatred against Ne

Opposition to FSA has been so
effective that the FSA will be COM

Trailing from the start, Mrs.

defeat Councilman Carl Rasmus-
sen, of the seventh councilmanic
district, losing by about 2 to 1.
Although most all the other
councilmanic races were decided in
the primaries a month ago, the
7th district contest attracted city
wide attention because of the fact
that there is in reality a balance of
power in Negro voting strength in
the district, which was recently
changed after spirited protest from
a citizens committee. However,
many colored citizens themselves
were not surprised at the final
outcome.

CUrfew Release
Has Slight
Effect in E. {.

Lifting of the national midnight
curfew by War Mobilizer Vinson at
Washington Monday had no effect
on El Centre as far as rules of
regulation are set by ordinance.
Bars and taverns which sell liquor
come under the regulation of the
State Board of Equalization and El
Centro swings back to the order
of things as do all other parts of
the state. However, military regula-
tions out of the Ninth Service
Command at Salt Lake City, Utah,
will not be changed and military
personnel may not purchase liquor
after midnight.
Uncertainty marked the attitude
of the State Board Monday in as
much as all bars had been closing
at midnight for some time before
the curfew, under a board ruling
that is under contest in court.
It was understood that the board
had hoped that all bars would
continue to abide by that ruling un-
til final court decision
