 Bishop Gray's resignation from the inter-racial commission puts our governor in the midst of a ticklish situation. With Doth par ties seemingly endorsing FEPC legislation many people wonder whether or not the commission will be necessary should an FEPC bill be passed.
 "Dame Rumor" alleges that the Republicans might want to make the inter-racial commission strong CT rather than see the fair employ ment practices bill enacted.
 One method to spike 'aDame Ru- nor'' would be to appoint strong liberal to the post vacated by Bishop Gray. The strong liberal should be person whole life work is dedicated to the better ment of the minorities. We can think of no better choice than that of Father Loughlin whose excel lent work at St. Benedicts, center in the North End among all groups is becoming nationally known.
 Seeing as how almost every newspaper and radio commentator are taking Henry Wallace apart for taking an honest American stand as regards our attempt at economically, politically and with a show of armed might to domin- ate world affairs, we may just as well stick our oar in.
 Any time any prominent human itarian such as Henry Wallace ut ters statements that might cause the Republican dominated press and radio to excoriate him, he must be sincere. To our mind the proving factor is that he may cause himself to lose "a place on the next national ticket.
 The legislative council of our state announces a public hearing on September 28 at II a.n., in the hall of the house. Legislative members and representative of all veterans groups are invited and urged to present their views on the bonus proposal. Scheduled for a hearing at the same time is a proposal for a change in the ad- ministration of the soldiers, sail -ors and marines fund now admin istered by the American Legion.
 McKinney-King Post, please ob- serve.
 The armed forces will receive this week from the treasury 13,- 5OO,00O bonds to pay off former service members for unused fur tough time.
 If a poll were taken we believe a comfortable majority would vote for the money to be used to re- lieve the housing situation among the veterans.
 Over objections by county com missioners the legislative council voted to recommend to the 1947 legislature new program with regard to keeping small family groups together.
 The proposed program states: that children in a single family group having a child under 6 years of age and others over 6 of age are to be committed to state guar in order to keep small family groups together.
 
 Further recommendations sub mitted by subcommittee and rep of child welfare as- were adopted as follows:
 Establishment of psychiatric home for children, the training of certain types of children, particu- larly slow types so that they can take care of themselves when guardianship ceases and strength ening laws on parental responsi- Dilities. Children under 6, now to state care, shall re- main in state care until guardian ship ceases.
