PRESIDENT A. w. DENT Is
PRINCIPAL SPEAKER

The Mississippi Association of
Teachers in colored schools. will
hold its first meeting here since
the beginning of the war, March
1929 at Lanier High school.
Aside from the fact that this
will be the first meeting of the
Association in four years, more
than the usual interest has CEN
tered about the meeting for two
outstanding reasons. First this is
an election year, in connection
with the election observers Of the
Association, politics say that for
weeks there has been going on a
great deal of behind the scene
political activities between the
younger more able and aggressive
group and the older conservative
elements for the control of the
organization.
Secondly during the four years
since the organization has held it's
meeting the issue of equalization
of teachers salaries, has become a
major issue with most of the mem
bers of the Association. With a re
ported sum of money already col
lected for taking this case to the
courts most of the teachers are
said to be ready for action. This
fact was indicated in widely pub
lshed article of a few weeks ago by
E. S. Bishop, president of the As
ISOLATION.
How far the meeting will go in
the matter of the suit, however is
likely to be affected by the action
of the state Legislature. Many
members otherwise favoring court
action prefer to wait and see what
the present state legislature viii
do. With most of the legislature
acts only partly completed, those
who favor waiting to see what the
legislature will do, may be IN
position to hold up court action.

State Teachers TO
Meet Here Next Week

President A. w. Dent, Of Dill
lard University will be the prln-
cipal speaker of the meeting. AS
the head of what is everywhere
recognized as the most advanced
institution in this section OF the
nation for higher education for
Negroes. President Dent will find
much food for thought an oratory
in the convention theme 'Educa-
ton For A New Era
While the fact, that this is an
election year has added greatly to
the interest in the meeting. The
election itself may turn out to be
a little more than a show of hands
According to reports behind the
scenes activities has resulted in
what may mean the unopposed and
unanimous election of A. L. john
son of Prentiss as the association
president
With the only other important
election office that of executive
secretary still being held with a
firm grip by aging and somewhat
feeble, Prof. w w. Blackburn of
Jackson, there appears little
chances for an election excitement
Although as for as its main bust
ness is concerned everything ap-
peared to be cut and dry. It was
expected that the first meeting OF
the association since the start o.
war will bring to Jackson RECORD
attendance.

DESERTS PARTY
Ickes does not fhreateu Iorm-
ing third party, but he is known
for boiling the Republicans in 1912
to follow Theodore Roosevelt and
nov, after serving 10 years in the
cabinet here under Roosevelt and
Truman, he announces he never
had been Democrat.
James Roosevelt has been a
Democrat, but he told Phila-
delphia audience recently that
neither the Republican party nor
the Democratic party today means
anything.
A convincing speaker, with a
natural ability, Roosevelt Is being
doomed to fill somebody's political
shoes.
This 1916 Roosevelt-Ickes COM

it is not communistic as was charg

Russians EncrOach On Alaskan
 Fishing Waters

WASHlNGT ON, CP) - T h e highest level" consideration has been asked of the state depart ment by Pacific Coast delegations regarding what they termed pos sible Russian encroachment on American fishing waters off the Alaska coast, Gov. Mon C. Wall gren reported today.
 The Washington governor head ed a West Coast group yesterday in a 45-minute conference with secretary of state Byrnes and un- dersecretary Will Clayton.
 Wallgren disclosed following the conference that he had related that Russian fishermen had moved in where Japanese had left off and that he feared old disputes be- tween rival fishing groups may flare anew.
 We had our troubles with the Japanese and now the question may arise with the Russians as to how far they are to go and how far we can go," Wallgren said.
 American fishermen from Alas ka to Mexico are worried, the gov ernor said, about the possible en- croachment and want the state de partment to give high priority to the handling of international fish ing affairs.

Seek Conference On Chinese Strife

WASHINGTON, (P)- Republi- can Senator Flanders of Vermont and Democratic Senator Murray of Montana joined today in urg- ing an international conference to seek a solution of China's internal strife.
 They proposed that Gen. George C. Marshall preside over the meet ing which they said could be called within the framework of the United Nations.
 The two senators declared ''it is known" that the Communist forces are not receiving Russian supplies, although they are cap- turing American equipment from their opponents.
 American supplies" they said, 'have been identified in the eyes of all Chinese as the major factor in perpetuating a chronic and in decisive civil war. As a further and inevitable consequence, a spreading tide of anti-American feeling is undermining the tradi- tional friendship between the American and Chinese peoples"

Stassen Candidate For COP President

WASHINGTON, (P)-Harold E. Stassen ripped the lid off the l948 Republican Presidential nomina- ton battle by declaring his candi- dacy on an immediate platform of changing the Wagner labor rela- tionS act.
 The 39-year-old three time gov ernor of Minnesota and former navy captain added that he is out to steer the COP along truly liberal path"
 One of his first efforts, Stassen told news conference yesterday, will be directed toward amending the Wagner act to prescribe a set of unfair practices" for labor such as mass picketing." Pactices now spelled out as unfair in this law apply only to man1 n1gement.
 StaSsen said he wants to bal anCe up this collective bargain ing"
 His announcement, unexpected only because of its timing so long before the 1948 nominating con- vention, came after Senators Van denberg of Michigan and Taft of Ohio had told reporters they are not candidates. Each, however, left the way open for any cam paigns in their behalf.
