School
Teachers Walk q Line

A rash of teacher strikes spread
across the land as schoolmarms and
masters stamped on picket lines to
dramatize their demands for a living
wage. There was one characteristic
from coast TO coast-hardly pupil
tried to crash the picket lines to get
to class
In ST. Paul. Mimi, 1,160 teachers
went on strike Monday, closing the
city's 81 grade and 10 high schools 10
10000 students. They sought to in
crease salaries from the present
range of $l,200-to-$ 900 to a $2,4O0
minimum with a $4,000 top.
While sympathetic sprinkling of
Parent-Teacher Association members
and pupils served them coffee in near
zero weather, Gov. Edward ]. Thye
named an eight-member committee to
seek a settlement.
lit Hour Conference
In Minneapolis, St. Paul's twin city
across the Mississippi, strike which
would have shut out 10000 pupils was
averted when d midnight conference
brought about faculty salary increases
of from $500 to $1,000 a few hours
before deadline.
In Warren County, Tenn, teachers
of 38 schools who went on strike No
vember 18 for monthly cost-of-living
raise of $40 were ordered back on
their jobs with the pay increase.

Landlords
A Quiet Strike

In Dallas, Tex, where classified
columns daily plead the urgent need
of housing, hundreds of rooms, apart
ments and homes are empty. They are
going to stay that way. Landlords are
striking for abolition of OPA rent
controls.
Rent controls are "undcmocratic,
unconstitutional and cheat homecOm-
ing veterans of place TO live" says
Mrs. Frank Morris, SIS, Dallas club
woman, president of Statewide Land
lords, Inc.
''This is quiet STRIKE" she said.
MOSTLY, there have been no evictions.
When tenants move out, doors are
locked and stay that way. At least
5000 Dallas housing units now are
being withheld. Landlords aren't
fooling"
Mrs. Morris only son, radio oper-
ator, was lost in a BIZ raid over
Germany. She's fighting OPA because,
she says, she wants "thiS country
worthy of his sacrifice"
One of her supporters is John r.
LoWrey, 90, wounded veteran OF both
world wars, who owns or controls 102
Dallas apartments of which 63 now
are vacant Lowrey says it's costing
him thousands of dollars month to
keep SO apartments empty but he
wants to do his share in killing OPA.
Another side of the picture is pre-
sented by Dan Malcik, veteran of the
Bataan Death March and three and
one-half years in a Japanese prison
camp. While he works in a steel mill,
his wife trudges streets every day
knocking on doors, hoping for tip
for living quarters SO that they can
live together. Il don't mind for my
SELF" she says, "but after what my
husband went through l wish some
one would show little mercy"

Wyatt made the statement to Sen

Speaking on Cultural Democ-
racy," DR.. Locke observed that col
laboration of the exhibiting artists,
Laura Wheeler Waring, Negro, and
Betsy Graves Rayneau, white, was
in itself an exaple of the interracial
harmony which is developing in ar
tistic groups.
''It is clear we have a common
denominator problem in which the
majority and the minority must
each carry it's own load," he said.
A foremost teacher and director
of the department of philosophy at
Howard university, DR.. Locke en-
phasized the responsibility of
teachers to encourage, support
and engender artistic appreciation
and development of the right kind
of pride in achievements, in their
students.
1t is important for the Negro
young to feel that there is no line
of work which is entirely blocked
to him, DR.. Locke declared. Reali-
zation of this, he feels, will aid
aid greatly to relieve psychological
prejudice.
Recalling how federal art prof.
ects first initiated democratic sup
port to encourage youthful talent
and how the Rosenwald fund and
other subsidies have aided the be-
ginning artist toward self-support
through his art, DR.. Locke declared
that the Negro needs to cultivate
every bit of latent talent. 1t should
be emphasized that Negroes, like
Dean Dixon, are achieving in new
fields, he said.

HOUSTON, Tex, Feb. 8.-Fred Martin is back from the war and outside of belng 10 pounds under weight is ready to try for pitch- Ing job with the St Louis Car dinals when he reports to the Cardinals at St. Petersburg. Fla, Feb. IS
 Martins pitching career was cut short in November of 194l, when he was called to the service. He finished that season with the Hous- ton Bluffs of the Texas League with a record of 23 victories against six defeats.
 rorty-two months in the Army hasn't dulled his hurling effective ness, he says.
 T can throw as hard as I eyer could" he declares.
 The 30-year-old Martin has been in the Cardinal organization since he first entered pro ball in 1885, advancing up the ladder from Class D.
 He has battle stars from action at New Guinea and in the Philip pines but he also had time for some baseball, pitching last sum- mer at New Guinea, New Hebri- des and in Manila against a team managed by Hugh Mulcahy of the Phillies. Tn a series between the Army and Navy all-stars, Fred hurled 20 and To victories before losing in the finals.
