Indian Vets Havinq
Loan Difficulties

Washington.-Over $4,000 Ameri-
can Indian veterans of World War
II who are eligible for benefits
under the CT Bill of Rights are
experiencing difficulty obtaining
loans for building and business
purposes the Veterans Admins
tration announced recently.
E. E. Odom, VA solicitor gives
the reason that "the Indian vet
eran, as well as any other veteran
must find lender willing to lend
and this ordinarily means one who
is content with the security which
the veteran may lawfully offer" /"
Many Indians live on reserva-
tons that are tribally owned;
therefore an Indian cannot offer
the land of his tribe as security
for a CT loan.

Ted Drey Can Best
Serve The People

1--WE believe it is the right of
veterans to support and vote for
any candidate for public office we
feel can best serve the people, I"
declared S. w. Blakeley and Rich
ard Harrington this week. "Just
because a man or woman is vet
eran is no reason in itself why vet
Grams should be obligated to sup
port them"
Mr.. Blakeley is chairman and
Mr.. Harrington secretary of a vet
Grams committee which is sponsor
ing Ted r. Drey, general manager
of the Drey Construction Com
pany, for the short term on the
Arizona Corporation Commission.
Their joint statement explains
the position of the veterans COM
mittee. Members of our COM
mittee have been subject to abuse,
have received phone calls threat
ening bodily harm or loss of our
jobs, all because we dared to exer-
else the privilege of working for
the man of our choice. 1--WE don't
deny that Mr.. Drey's opponent is a
veteran. AS a matter of record he
was separated from the u. S. Navy
with the rank of Lieutenant, after
serving at various shore stations
and in Hawaii as Court Martial
officer.
There is no doubt that all of
us who fought in this last war
would prefer to support almost any
veteran for public office. There is
a tie of comradeship hard to de-
scribe but which most veterans
feel. But to ask our support for a
former navy officer who has shown
absolutely no sympathy for veter-
ans problems, as against non-vet-
eran who has been fighting for our
rights long before most of us re-
turned home"
"We don't have to take anyone's
word for the fact Ted R. Drey has
b@em fighting for us. From copies
of kilograms, letters and cables tc
the President of the United States,
to Arizona's Senators and Repre-
sentatives, to Senators and Repre-
sentatives from other States, and
from the answers to those tele-
grams, letters and cables, which
we and other members of the COM
mittee have seen and verified,

EEPC Ends Work
After Long Fight

Washington, July 11-(AFL,-
Subject of long and bitter con-
troversy, the Fair Employment
Practices Committee expired at
midnight June 30 with no appar-
ent hope that it will be revived at
this session of Congress. The ag-
ency was strongly backed by the
AFL.
President Truman, accepting
with great regret" the resigna-
tions of Chairman Malcolm Ross
and five other members, praised
them for performing an import
ant war service under "continu-
Gus barrage of criticism and har-
rassment"
The committee in a letter and
final report told the President
that wartime gains against dis
criminatory employment practices
were today being rapidly dissipat-
ed. They emphasized that any ma
tional policy against such practices
would require the force of legisla-
ton to be effective.
Enactment of such legislation
could not be foreseen, either by
it's supporters or its opponents.
However, it was expected to be
an issue when a new Congress con-
venes next year.

Three Cent Sales Tax
Petitions Fall Short

Phoenix, July 11.-(ALD-The
efforts of the Citizens Committee
against the "Right-to-Starve" to
place an initiative on the Novem-
Der ballot to abolish the sales tax
on food, clothing, and medicines
failed by a few hundred signatures.
The original tabulation showed
that there were a substantial num-
Der of signatures more than neces-
sary to qualify the bill; however,
a careful check revealed mistake
in the totals.
Actually 1903 signatures were
filed and the Secretary of State
ruled $50 bad, leaving total of
1858.
The bill was designed to place
an additional tax on the mining,
lumber, railroad and utility inter
ests to compensate for the loss OF
revenue resulting from the abol-
ishing of the sales tax on necessi-
ties. It was estimated that the
consumers would save $3,500,0O0
per year and the industries indi-
Gated would have to pay an addi-
tional $4,OOO,000.

Beer Program Helps
In Law Enforcement

Sidney B. Moeur, state director
of the United States Brewers
Foundation, today emphasized to
the beer retailers of Arizona the
necessity of maintaining good con-
ditions at their establishments.
In a bulletin to beer licensees in
every county of the state, Moeur
pointed out to them the response
bilities they assumed when they
were granted licenses and urged
them to live up to these obliga-
tions.
He explained that the Brewers
Foundation through a program of
self-regulation beginning in Ari-
zona five years ago, cooperates
with officers and works with the
retailers to assure that beer is sold
in strict accord with the law, and
in conformance with the high
standards of the industry.
Mailing of the bulletin to the
retailers" Moeur said, sis one
phase of our continuing work to
assure that they know and under
stand and live up to the law. We
know that lack of knowledge
rather than willful intent, is re-
sponsible for practically all infrac-
tions of the law. This is evidenced
by the cooperation we have re-
ceived from the retailers in volun-
tarily correcting Objectionable
practices we have called to their
attention."

5O7 Negro requirements
Arrive In Leghorn, ltoly

LEGHORN, Italy. = Five hun
dred and seven Negro enlisted men
arrived here recently aboard the
SIS Wilson Victory as replace
ments for the various commands
of Lieutenant General John c. H.
Lees Mediterranean Theater.
The men, who came from Camp
Kilmer, New Jersey, will be as
signed to units under Peninsular
Base Section, MTOUSA, with the
exception of nine men who en-
listed in the Regular Army and
asked to be sent to the European
Theater.
Upon debarkation at Leghorn,
the troops were billeted at Camp
Barnett Staging Area where they
will await assignments.
Under PBS, the new. troops will
join the base section which served
and supplied the victorious Fifth
Army and the ground crews of the
u. S. Army, Air Force and Navy
during the entire Italian campaign.
The base is commanded by Colonel
Francis H. OK of Newport, Rhode
Island.
Peninsular Base Section has a
record of uninterrupted service in
this theater extending over three
years. Advance echelons arrived
with combat units invading North
Africa in November, 1912. After
ten months in support of the
North African and Sicilian cam
paigns, selected personnel of these
Army Service Force headquarters
and units were organized into the
present Base Section for move
ment to Italy. Again an advance
echelon sailed with the invasion
convoy landing on D-plus-2 at Sa-
lerno.
Peninsular Base Section rehabil-
itated the ports of Naples, Anzio,
Civitavecchia, Piombino and Leg
horn in support of the Fifth
Arny's drive up the Italian penin-
sular. PBS also played major
role in the mounting of the South
ern France invasion.

Over the protest of both the AFL

and drastic restrictions on labor

no way interfer with "the rights
of unions to carry out legitimate
objectives."

 President Truman's proposal that Congress authorize the entry into the United States of a fixed num- Der" of European refugees, includ- ing Jews, is a test of the sincerity of the people of this country in their desire that asylum be found for those who have neither country nor home.
 This suggestion aims to meet an emergency. The situation in which refugee Jews find themselves is heart-breakingly distressing. The United States cannot, in clear con- science, advise other governments what to do in these premises and do nothing itself.
