N ROAD MAPS
(Boston Post)

NASODuOAA \ OovJ
 Good news for motor tourists is contained in the fact that millions of new and completely revised road maps are being rushed through the printers and should be widely dis tributed before the end of this month. There has been a long famine of such travel guides and most maps now in the public's pos session are pretty badly outdated. The oil companies are to be con- graduated on speeding work on the new editions so that they will be generally available in time for the first full postwar vacation season.

against colored students at the col

DR.. A. Porter Davis, militant presi-
dent of the Kansas Conference of

nounced that the fight would con-
tinue by all liberals in Kansas
where found. A membership drive
to bring the total NAACP member

launched in 1916.
In October it was revealed that
the l5 or more colored students en-
rolled in regular classes at this IA
nous teachers college, rated second
In standing in the whole United

elimination. The NAACP was
promptly notified by officials of
the organization and the students
themselves and the matter was
turned over to the legal redress
committee of the state conference,
headed by the noted attorney, Avis
Martin of Topeka. The state board
of regents which controls state
policy was notified and after sew
eral months Of discussion, with the
issue hanging fire, the new mon
discrimination policy was an
nounced.

Pay Hike Defeated

WASHINCTON-(LPA)-A figh, on whether or not wage boosts under 1874 should get automatic approval of the Wage Stabilization Board punctuated meetings of the WSB in its second week under President Truman's new wage-price policy.
 AFL representative Robert Watt moved in the WISE last week that blanket approval be given to wage in- creases up to 181zc an hour. Public and industry members rejected the mo- tion, which had the support of the CIO.
 l5c An Hour
 The Board is expected to arrive at some other figure-either around 15c an hour, or on an industrywide or re- gional basis-below which wage in- creases will be automatically approved
 Meanwhile, Economic Stabilizer Chester Bowles made clear another part of the program when he cracked down on brass manufac- turers. He said that ssunder no cir cumstances will OPA set price or promise a price adjustment in ad- vance of wage agreement" Union members have closed down most of the nations brass mills in a strike for higher wages.

Papers Refuse Ad
 Defending Co-ops

WICHITA, Kans. (FP)-Here's another episode in the saga of free dom of the press:
 In answer to blasts against the Kansas cOoperatives by the Wi- chita Chamber of Commerce and the Wichita Town Hall Committee Inc., which demanded an end to tax-exemption of co-ops, J. W. Cummins, editor of the Cooper ative Consumer, wrote an article telling the businessmen that by at- lacking 75,OOO cooperative farmers of Kansas, they were helping neither Wichita nor themselves.
 Both the Wichita daily papers re- fused to publish the piece, even though Cummins was willing to pay for it as an advertisement. It was a smear against the merchants of Wichita, the publishers said loftily.
 The article was finally accepted b ythe Wichita Plaindealer, news paper of the Central Labor Coun. cil, which doesn't sound off about freedom of the press. It just prac- tices it.

Connecticut Senator's Pro. posal Would Call For
 Civilian Control

WASHINGTON (LPA)-While the Navy Department moved ahead with preparations for a test of the effect of the atom bomb on naval strength, the Senate Committee or Atomic Energy, through its chair man, Sen. Brien McMolon, (D. Conn., announced that a bill cover. ing control measures for atomic energy could be expected in about three weeks.
 In the meantime the issue of civilian versus military control and the degree of government owner. ship over atomic energy was sharp. ly debated:
 l-Secretary of Commerce Hen. ry A. Wallace called for the early assumption of civilian authority over atomic energy, and whole .heartedly endorsed the McMahon bill.
 2-President Truman indicated his support for the McMahon bill, but proposed that ''devices utiliz- ing atomic energy be made fully available for private development ;
 S-It is expected, however, that War Secretary Patterson will re. ceive an opportunity to present his and the Army's view that control of atomic energy must remain un- der the domination of military men with wartime security rules still prevailing.
 On the other side of Congress, Rep Emmanuel Ce1ler O., N.M.) intro duced a bill prepared by the Socialist Party to develop, conserve, and regu- late the use of atomic energy, to pro- mote and encourage such uses as may serve the welfare of the nation, to
