JAMES J. CONNORS ENTERS THIRTEENTH YEAR OF SERVICE

James J. Connros entered his thirteenth year as Collector of Customs for the District of Alas ka upon his reappointment by the President, with consent of the Senate, the latter part of October.
 MT. Connors was first appointed by President Roosevelt on July 12, 1883, and has served continu- ously since that time as the result of three reappointments.
 The Customs District of Alaska was created by Act of Congress in 1868, and MT. Connors is the twenty-first man to hold the posi- tion of Collector of Customs and has served longer than any other man in that position. John F. Pugh, who was Collector from December 2, 1913, until his death in 1918, held the post for the sec ond longest term.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - R - The battleship Wyoming Navy men call her the Chesapeake Raider" has fired more rounds of anti aircraft ammunition than any other ship in World War II, but not one shell at an enemy.
 The nickname may be unkind, but comes natural for ship that left a proud post in the Battle Fleet to spend her dotage in the Shelter of Chesapeake Bay. She has been there for more than three years.
 The Wyoming, shorn of her l2- inch guns and equipped with the most modern anti-aircraft wea- pons, has trained more than 35,- 900 officers and men since March, 1922. Her new armament has fired roughly 100000 rounds of ack-ack during that time.

Statement Of the Steering Committee of National Citizens PAC
The Members of Congress- and the Republican and Democratic
Party Chairmen on DISCRIMINATION

ers shift jobs-we may find unemploy
ment in the millions.
We ask you to join us in meeting
the basic need of the people for jobs
and equal opportunity: this is democ
racy's method. To make democracy
work-this is our dedication.
Day by day, you and we shall face
this crisis, these difficult days, this
basic choice. In our hands and in
yours, lies the supreme opportunity.
We ask you to give leadership, to
stand and fight for Americas herit-
age.
The primitive democratic right pro-
tected by FEPC demands that you
support this agency and similar legis-
lat1on. We ask that the congress en-
act permanent FEPC legislation. We
ask every congressman to sign Dis
charge Petition Number to bring
H. R. 1882 = to Great a permanent
FEPC-to the floor of the house for
vote. May we expect you to act,
to act publicly now, to speak out
now, to let it be known now, where
you stand?
We request that the chairmen of the
Democratic and Republican parties
call special meetings of their national
committees and publicly declare their
support for permanent FEPC; and
declare themselves unalterably op-
posed to racial hatred and religious
intolerance. We request that the ma
tional committees of both parties act
now to execute their campaign
pledges on FEPC made to our people
in 1914.
The common citizenry of America
want leadership. They ask for action
now.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1945-08-03

long. difficult and costly war is
approaching a victorious end; vic
tory for which millions on millions
throughout the world have given theil
blood and lives. They have given
gladly because in their own flesh and
with their own minds they understood
the naked unrestrained brutality and
horror of fascism. Race superiority
race hatred, race and religious intol-
erance, every manner and form of
race and religious abuse was and is
approved nazi and fascist practice.
The time has come to recognize that
all doctrines of racial and religious
hate must die. Not alone in fascist
Germany or Japan, but in the hearts
and minds of man, of free man, every
where. This is a simple, clear thought
which men who died in this war un-
derstood. 1t is an elementary belief
which has become the profound con-
viction of millions on millions at home
and abroad.
This war has been fought by differ
ent countries and groups for different
reasons; but we are confident that
within the hearts of the mothers and
fathers, and in the hearts of our fight
ing men, the belief which gave them
courage was the sure knowledge that
we fought for human dignity, for ele-
mentary decency between man and
man.
In our own national life, the seeds
of fascist race and religious hate still
exist. AS honest citizens, we do not
blink at this fact. We ask you to
face it with us.
The FEPC is the one federal agency
whose duty it is to prevent or correct
discrimination in job opportunity be-
cause of race, color, creed, or national
origin
It's birth as a war agency was SYM
bolic. That the great Roosevelt had
the inspiration and the faith to estab-
fish the FEPC will enshrine him as
one who watered the roots of our de-
mocracy.
In recent days, an unparalleled at
tempt, brazen and ruthless, to destroy
the FEPC has been made by those
in our national life who would per-
petuate here what our sons have died
to uproot in Germany.
More than this, statements have
been made on the floor of the senate
of the United States which Hitler
himself would have found difficulty
in rephrasing. Permit us to quote
Senator Bilbo:
There are few Catholic priests |
