Vickers Quits Small
Mine Operators

Phoenix, May 3O-(ALD-E. F.
Vickers, for forty years a member
of organized labor, has left the
Small Mine Operators Association
in protest to the endorsement of
the mine group of the so-called
"Right-to-Work-Bill."
II have been a member of the
Small Operators for several years,
and believe there is definite pur-
pose for such an organization, if
operated for and by the members,
but this group has definitely been
taken over by anti-labor forces who
are using these small miners, many
of whom are union men, to cruelty
Labor" said Vickers.
The following letter was sent by
Mr.. Vickers to Mr.. Charles F. Will
lis, secretary of the Small Mine
Operators Association:
Dear Mr.. Willis:
"In view of the stand recently
taken by the Small Mine Operat-
orS Association, I am compelled to
ask that my name be removed
from your list of members.

Zimmerman Against
Right t-To-Work Bill

Phoenix, May 30-ALJ)-Honors
go to Fletcher West Zimmerman,
Maricopa County District 8, this
week for being the first of all
members of the legislature running
for reelection to take fortnight
stand against the right-to-work
initiative measure. In his action Mr..
Zimmerman, a railroad brother
hood leader as we'll as legislator,
simply reaffirmS his stand taken, in
past sessions of the legislature.
When the right-to-work bills
were first introduced in the regu-
lar session of 1914, Zimmerman
spoke against them on the floor
of the House and fought against
them in committee. No one in the
legislature was more active than
"West" in this respect.
"Since the AFL has decided to
put every legislative candidate on
record on the right-to-work propo-
sition," Mr.. Zimmerman told a
Labor Journal reporter, "you can
put me on record right now. ] am
sure you will not mind if / jump
the gun on your QUESTIONABLE. The
people certainly have right to
know where every candidate for
the legislature stands on this i'm
portant issue. I am glad to know
that you will not let anyone
straddle the fence and get by with
it. Of course deeds speak louder
than words, and action is better
than a promise. Labor already
knows where I stand, now and in
the future"

Commission Gets
Re-Zoning Petition

A petition to reZone Jefferson
and Madison streets, from 18th to
18th streets, from business and in
dustry to residents C and, to rezone
the south side of Washington St.
between 18th and 18th Sts., from
business B to business A, was pre-
sented to the city commission at
its regular meeting Tuesday, May
%. The petition, which bore the
signatures of large majority of
the property owners in the district
concerned, received the unanimous
approval of the city commission
which set June 18 as the date for
public hearing on the same. I'm
der the present ordnance the south
side of Jefferson Street and both
sides of Madison Street are in the
industrial A district and the south
side of Washington Street is in
business B district. The majority
of residents in the district appear
to have been in total ignorance of
the unfortunate zoning to which
they now are subjected and were
most happy to participate in a
movement for the protection of
their homes of which they are
justly proud. Wade H. Hammond
stated in an interview, that Rev.
Thos. j. Townsend, vice-president
of the Urban League, made the
principal speech before the COM
mission and that he, Hammond,
member of the Urban League
Board, merely added a few re-
marks to the very forceful appeal
made by Rev. Townsend. It is
noteworthy that the Adjustment
Board has recommended to the
city commission that hereafter no
automobile wrecking yards be al
lowed in other than strictly indus
trial areas and that a public hear
ing on this recommendation is set
for the same date that the hear
ing on the requested rezoning is to
be had.

Welcome Secretary

At It's regular monthly meeting

Board will welcome its Executive
Secretary, Mr.. John c. Williams.
He comes to the Urban League
from the Army after having served
during the war and having been
promoted to the grade of captain.
His last military assignment was
to the position of what might be
named "racial trouble shooter" for
the Commanding General of the
San Francisco Area. Mr.. Will
liams Is graduate of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska and has keen
and inherent interest in Urban
League work for which his per-
sonality seems to fit him. The
Arizona Sun joins all other Phoe-
nicians in welcoming Mr.. Williams
to our city and sincerely hopes
that he will have the unselfish
support of our people generally.

Fields lying next to forests are
seldom damaged by hail storms.
Because the temperature of the
trunks, branches and twigs of the
forest trees is lower than the tenn
perature of the air, dew is formed
and carried over nearby fields by
air currents. The resulting fog
protects the fields from hail in the
summer and from frost in the
spring and fall.

past three years, it was pointed
out by Miss Alice Mosier, City
Auditor.
And since those $150,000 of once
potential surplus is now so much
spilled milk, the present city ad-
ministration is now obliged to
bring the tax rate up to $1.81 per
hundred. Even with this necessary
increase, in his recommendation of
May %, City Manager Odd S. Hal
seth had to slash department
heads 1946-1947 requests by more
than a million dollars from
SIS, 5,767, ,102 to $4,730,217.
In analyzing reductions in bud
get requests, the auditors terse
comments read like dirge to
department heads:
Airport = field and runway
maintenance: cut"
Assessor - all addition person
mel: omitted"
"Automotive equipment all
fixed capital, including SAL 900 for
purchase of cars and trucks: omit
ted"
electrical department new
traffic signals: omitted"
'Fire department-six addition
al firemen and all fixed capital
items: omitted"
Health additional
inspectors: omitted"
Pension system operation for
employees retirement: cut to
100000"
Transportation department -
five new buses: omitted"
Water department - operating
materials: cut"
And so on.
Even if we had stayed at a
SITS tax rate level" the auditor
explains, I'VE could have built up
some reserve"
DiSintereSted experts in prob
lens of municipal taxation agree
that tax rates should never be
cut during prosperous years. In
stead. surplus can be most easily
accumulated only when taxpayers
enjoy high income levels. Despite
this elementary principle, previous
city administrations-in 1939-1940
and again In 1943-1944-axed the
local budget.
Had the tax rate remained at
$1.79, where it was in 1943, and
placed in a postwar reserve fund.-"
Miss Mosier advises, 1--WE would
now be able to provide for replac-
ing our outworn city automobile
fleet"
In the name of good govern
ment," officials who were not well
acquainted with the fiscal needs
of Phoenix took an axe to the
carefully prepared recommends
tions of local budget experts.
The penny-wise and pound-fool-
iSh good government" fixer-up-
pers can now observe the results
Of their ill-advised economy" pro-
gram in an antiquated and made
quate water system, dilapidated
equipment, and. wheeling jalopies
of ancient vintage upon which
city departments must now rely.
Any high school boy knows that
operating costs for a twenty-year-
old car are sky high, and that
broken down machinery is costly
to maintain and run.
Today in the Police department,
only four vehicles are now in
trustworthy condition. The others
should long ago have been ped

seven years behind in the develop
ment of its water work, Phoenix
now faces the need for an approx
mate ten million dollar improve
ment head on. And although city
BUSES may look funny to a car
toonist, to their passengers they
are headache.
It is hoped that a more realistic
and progressive tax program will
be worked out by the present city
administration.

At the Florida state champion ships tournament in November, I got the following hand from the winning tealn-of- of-four--Peter Leven- tritt, Leo Roet and Robert Apple yard of New York, and M. A. Light man of Memphis. I thought today's hand was the most interesting one in the tournament. AS defenders, Roet and Appleyard held this hand to two hearts, while Leventritt, as declarer, made five-odd. Tn defend- ing, Roet an dAppleyard made a spade, a heart, two diamonds and a club.
 When Leventritt played the hand, the ace of clubs won the first trick and West returned a club, which was won in dummy with the king. The ten of diamonds vas led, East won with the jack and returned a diamond. West went up with the king and Leventritt won with the ace. He led small spade and, when East played low dummys king won. The eight of hearts was returned and the jack flnessed. Leventritt then ruffed club in dummy and led back the queen of hearts. West did not cover, but East's ten dropped. Now small diamond was led from dummy, and Leventritt finessed the eight, thus making five odd.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Swear Off Gingerbread for New Year to Win Reputation for Chic
By ALICIA HART NEA stan Writer

The moment Q girl starts ripping off the gingerbread" of clothes and decides against three of the four "iools" she thought of wearing, she Is well on her way toward mastering chic.
 If that's you, and you want to make a record for yourself during the New Year, keep up the good work of dressing down.
 Dresses bristling with what the garment trade calls gingerbread" --tacked-on bows, buckles, fancy belts, corsages or what-have-you-- can never compete for smartness with plain, unadorned duds. So dare to strip off flashy trimmings, if they district interest from fabric and cut. Many a "best dressed" movie star has admitted tS me, that she con- verts an otherwise unimportant dress into a ve-looking costume by stripping it down to the barest skeleton.
 A lot of jewelry worn for a cos- tune effect can never be as chic as one well-chosen necklace, bracelet, pair of earrings or pin. So, restrain your hand when you reach into the jewelry box for that other bauble. GOOD HAT STANDS ON OWN
 If the structural design of a hat is good, strip off the detail which blurs outline and defeats chic. Tie same thing applies to gloves, handbags and shoes, which are smartest when they depend upon fabric and line for interest, not upon a confusing mass of fancy detail.
 The smartest hair-do is quite often the simplest. The tendency of chic women today is to use more clean
