these three can be regarded as the
most important and timely. So far,
despite all the brave talk, millions
of words written on the subject,
and the broad campaigns to educate

lation, only New York State has an

The U. s. Congress has consis-
tently turned down the proposals
that it enact federal laws to pro-
tect Negroes, Jews, Catholics and
other racial or religious minori-
ties from discrimination in seeking
and holding jobs. There does not
seem to be much hope that Con-
gress will pass such a law. Efforts
to get national law against lynch
ing on the books have been turned
into an American burlesque show
by such typical characters as Bilbo,
Eastland, Ellender, Connolly, Glass,
and others. The only national
point that has been won to date is
the Supreme Court decisions out
having the infamous Texas White
Primary.
The strategy behind the fight to
get a law to apply nationally to
employment discrimination has
been to stage mass meetings,
demonstrations, establish Hobbies,
and to pull the coats off what SEN
atOrs and congressman that are APP
proachable. That is about all that
can be done in this connection and
any other feasible means to win
the point are still in the discussion
stage. To sum up. the road is rocky
and hard to follow when the goal
is to put laws into effect that will
effectively wipe out discrimination

Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

Imitation is on the way if the Senate decides to follow the path of the House of Representatives and dump price control. If this does happen we can look forward to an immediate boom in prices that will cause severe hardship for millions of Americans.
 The only ones who stand to gain from the lifting of controls now are small group of wealthy spec ulators who can afford to weather any economic storm. Workers, farmers, white collar workers, the middle class, and even businessmen and manufacturers would all be badly off. Chester Bowles has al- ready warned that if we fail to hold the line prices will Skyrocket, infla- ton will destroy our savings and endanger our whole economy for years to come.
 The trend is in the direction of lifting controls in spite of the fact that 73% of Americans are in favor of price control, three fourths of the country. Why? be- cause the pressures from such groups as the National Association of Manufacturers, the National Re- tail Drygoods Association and other big business groups have blinded certain congressman, who act for these selfish interested groups, not the needs of the country at large.
 High prices mean that workers can't buy consumer goods. The showdown of consumer sales means a showdown in production. If production falls off workers will be out of jobs. That means unem- ployment and a depression that would be inevitable. A dark pie ture compared to the rosy postwar future promised us. Chester Bowles has threatened to resign unless an adequate price control bill is passed because there would no longer be anything left to con- trol. Let's hope this doesn't come about. It's still not too late to wire your Senators to extend con- trols until June 1947, when Sup- plies can catch up with demand. How about it?

 Welcome news for music lovers is the Treasure Hour of Song. broadcast on behalf of the makers of Conti Castile Shampoo over WNLC.
 This program presents the music all America loves, in delft n3dleys of modern favorites and melodies from the classics. Its vocal stars were taken directly from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera =. Licia Albanese, lovely lyric soprano whose voice has captured critics across the nation, and Francesca Valentino, famous "Met" baritone. Orchestral chords are under the gifted baton of Alfredo tsntoaini, brilliant young conductor.
 The smooth combination of mllsi- cal stars thus is equalled by the skillfully combined musical selec- tions. The program thus appeals both to those who enjoy the music of the masters and others who pre- fer the melodies of Gershwin and other great ''moderns." Treasure Hour of Song is heard in New Lon- don over Station WNuC each Thursday evening at 9:S0 p. m.

 Washington. D. c. Dear MT. President:
 Allow us to commend you upon your humanitarian policy favoring the immediate admission of 100000 displaced Jews into Palestine. We have just written to Secretary of State James Byrnes expressing the hope that the State Depart ment will persist in it's efforts to effectuate this policy.
 Assuring you that anything fur ther you may see fit to do that will consummate the transfer of these suffering people to Palestine with out delay will earn the grateful thanks of organized labor in Con- necticut, am,

June 6, 1946< Hon. James E. Byrnes Secretary of State
 Washington, D. C.
 Dear MT. Secretary:
 We are greatly distressed over the heartbreaking delays encoun- tered in effectuating President Truman'S policy favoring the entry of 100000 Jews into Palestine. In view of the suffering of the dis placed Jews in Europe, as matter of simple humanity, it is our feel ing that the State Department should exert it's full influence to open the doors of the ancient home of these people who otherwise will have no other recourse but mass suicide.
 Immediate entry into Palestine of the 100000 Jews, we believe, should be entirely apart from the long range recommendations of the Anglo American Committee on In- quiry. We hope that you will persist in your efforts to fulfill the Presi- dents policy with respect to his grave issue, which we are sure, has the overwhelming support of the American people, and bring about the rescue of the 100000 homeless Jews in Europe.
 Sincerely yours,
 Joseph M. Rourke
 Secretary

One of the best and freshest of the recent crop of radio shows to hit the airlanes in recent weeks is the "Flit Frolics." Sponsored by the makers of Fit insecticides, the ''Frolics" is variety show, starring Jimmy Atkins and his guitar, and featuring Kerry Harold'S band, the Fit Foursome and the popular Ken Roberts, who handles the announc- ing. The program is heard twice weekly over Station WNLC on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:15 D. m.
 Star Jimmy Atkins Is one of the few entertainers who can sing al- most any type of song with only his own guitar as accompaniment. Jimmy and his guitar have done lot of travelling together ever since Jimmy was small boy in Me- braska. During these travels he has built up an incredibly large repertoire of folk songs, and often features one of the 'Frolics" show.
 Announcer Ken Roberts tried both legal and theatrical careers be- fore he hit his stride as a radio man. He studied law at St. Johns College in Brooklyn, N. Y., where college dramatics gave him a taste for the theater. He decided to give up law some time later, when chance meeting with Christopher Morley resulted in his being given a role of the villain in the famous authors much7publicized revival of After Dark" in Hoboken, N. J. He went from that to radio shows on local New York stations, an an- nouncing stint for Brooklyn Sta- tion, and six months later, he hit the 'fbig time" when he landed coveted job with a major network. From that point on, Ken Roberts star rose steadily.
 A highlight of each program of the "Frolics" series is a new sing ing jingle by bandsman Kerry Harold, based on the products we'll known slogan, Quick, Henry! The Flit."
 Actual crime cases, taken from the stories appearing in True De- tective Magazine, are the basis for the "whodunit" series, True De- tective Mysteries, over WNLC ev- cry Sunday at 4:SO p. m.
 The cast, headed by Richard Keith in the role of John Shuttle worth, Edit1r-In-Cnief" of True Detective Magazine, reenacts some of the most baf;ling of all criminal cases listed in police records. An added feature of True Detec- tive Mysteries is weekly police lineup presented at the conclusion of each broadcast, during which John Shuttleworth will offer the description of a fugitive from jus tice and ask listeners to try and locate the criminal for a reward of $1OO.
 True Detective Mysteries, writ ten, directed and produced by Mur- ray Burnett. is sponsored by the Williamson Candy Company on be- half of Oh Henry! candy bars.

Problems of the Straits
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Turkey frets these days worrying about the pos sibility that Russia may push her way down to the Dardaneles and the Bosporus those straits which connect the Black and Mediterranean Seas. For gen. eraons the Russians have desired this entry to cold-weather ports.
 The straits have been primarily military objectives for thousands of years In 481 B. C. the great Xerxes crosSed into Europe by this route. In 334 Alexander built bridge boats against the swift currents of the Dardaneles and led his troops across The straits and their key city of Constantnople the heart and soul of the Byzantine Empire When the straits fell to the Turks, that empire faded into history
 Turkey, in way another, maintained control of the straits from 1453 until the passage ways were nernationalized in 1923 The very of the Otto man Empire assured that control for several centuries Then it was guaranteed by an agreement between Great Britain, Russia, France Prussia and Austria
 In spite of the Treaty of Lausanne, which opened the straits to all nations most powers have realized that so long as the Turks control both coasts of the Bosporus and bank of the Dardanelles her position will strongest there in event of hostiities British influence being what it has been in Turkey and Greece has allowed London to maintain closer contacts with the situation than Russia has been able to maintain Russia continued feel after nternationaliza- tion that her position in the straits was far from secure
 Britain realizes-and has realized for centuries that the Dardaneles and the Bosporus might well mean life or death for her Mediterranean comunica- tions with Egypt, the Middle and the Far East giant war fleet built and trained in the security Of the Black Sea- could strike with lightning force in the Mediterranean and to perfect cover whenever it chose While the expansion and development oi
 air power has lifted the effectiveness of fleet opera tions still that threat will remain as long as battle ships are a deciding force in world commerce.
 Turkish spokesmen, then, are not stretching point when they warn of the possibility that third world may well have its origin in the historic straits where Leander swan each night to visit his beloved hero imprisoned on the other side. Here certainly is a problem ripe and ready for the United Nations Organization-a problem growing out of geography, but vtaly affecting two of the worlds largest and most aggressive powers.

Agriculture quietly agreed to ad- van.e France 750,000 tons of sugar from the Cuban crop. French col on:al crops at that time were down to practically nothing and even what we loaned the French per- mitted per capita consumption of only g pounds annually, compared with our GA. This friendly move is paying off now, however, be- cause under the terms of the agreement, practically the entire Frerch West Indies crop for this year comes to us.
