THE NOME GE'
RACE DISCRIMINATION
 (Editor and PubliSher)

The government of this country, or any other country, cannot legislate away the racial or religious prejudices and opinions of the people, however strong or weak they might be. Only an educa- tional program through the school and church will promote racial and religious tolerance. Human nature being what it is, few laws on the books may force the people to comply if the penalties are se- were, but never will it correct the pre- judices and opinions carried within. And such smoldering feelings are dangerous.
 The Ives-Quinn anti-discrimination bill probably will become law in New York State. It sets up permanent com mission charged with the duty of wiping out discrimination in employment on the grounds of race, creed, color, religion or national origin and make some discri- minatory practices followed by employ CTS, labor unions or employment agen- cies unlawful. This is ponderous task, but the commission might be successful. It will not be successful if it believes that by forcing people to hire, or work with, other people of different color or relig- ion it is going to wipe out whatever pre- judices might exist in their minds In our opinion, it will make those prejudices more volatile.

Ickes Asks Qualification Of Status

WASHINGTON, July 18-tP- Ickes will be the next member of President Truman's official fam fly to ask for clarification of his status. This was learned definite ly today together with the fact that if satisfactory reply is not forthcoming there will be little chance that Ickes will remain as Secretary of the Interior and only slightly more likelihood that he will go to London on the Anglo American oil treaty mission, de- spite President Truman's recent announcement that Ickes would make the trip to work out the final draft of the new oil agree ment.
 The cabinet officer is known to have no plans yet on the London visit. It is possible, however, he will accept the assignment in any event because he also is Petrole- um Administrator for War.

PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES
lBusineSs Action ]

lBusiness Action)
 The position of new employees under going probationary employment is clari- fled by an interpretation of the Selective Service Act by Director Lewis B. Her shey.
 In certain industries, labor agreements provide that new employees are to be considered probationary for the first three months of employment and subject to discharge by management at any time during this period When the probation ary period has been completed, the en- ployee's seniority dates from the period of original hiring.
 Director Hershey indicated that any person whose employment status is un- certain because of his probationary peri cd would be in a temporary position Where the element of uncertainty is ab- sent, the position is not temporary even though the worker may be called proba- tionary.

Awaits
White House

Washington, Aug. 13-AP-Emer-
gency plans ready, government
agencies today awaited a White
House signal to start the American
economy toward a goal OF unprece-
dented civilian production.
The signal. due when Japan
quits, also will serve to unyeil pro-
grams for putting millions OF re-
leased war workers in peacetime
jobs as rapidly as possible and for
gradual lifting of rationing and
other wartime restrictions.
Expected quickly, too. are plans
that may provide for easing of
stringent wage controls and out
line the scope of price controls in
the Immediate postwar period.
In the meantime. this is the home
front outlook as the war appears
to be nearing the end:
Observation-Disclosures of gaso-
line, fuel oil and tire programs
within a few days to six weeks af.-
ter VI Day; gasoline may be re-
leased within a week. Shoe ra-
tioning is due to go in two or
three months. Food, especially
meat and sugar. will stay under
controls for some time because Of
continuing military requirements.
Consumer goods-Volume produc-
ton before the end of this year,
particularly OF such small items as
coasters, irons and other home ap-
planes. At least 100000 passen-
ger cars, double the number plan
ned originally, are expected. Re-
frigerators and washing ma
chimes also are likely to be in good
supply late this year.
Price. and rent controls-due. to
be retained for a least six months,
possibly year on limited scale.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS officials
estimate at least 100000 war
workers will lose their Jobs With
in six months after VI day. They
make no prediction how long Il will
be before these workers can be alb
sorbed in civilian production.
Travel-Troop rehabilitation Is
expected to prevent lifting of re-
strictions for at least 60 days.
All agencies with a part in re-
conversion have been told by the
White House to say nothing about
their plans until President Tru-
man gives the word. And no one
knew whether that would come
when Japan announces capitulation,
or later when surrender papers are
signed and VI Day is proclaimed
officially.
