The Implications of Ickes Departure

ment of Interior and by withdraw"
ing Mr.. PauIey's nomination. The
latter no will not likely do.
There Is evidence that Mr.. Tru-
man regards tbs existing dispute
as one existing chiefly between Mr..
Ickss and himself. This attitude is
very unfortunate for Mr.. Humans
policy will have repercusSions IN
tho next elections. The Republicans
who certainly have no love for MIR.
IckeS will nevertheless use his res
ignation as u basis for campaign
material In these elections.
Beside giving the Republicans a
wealth Of campaign material by his
indefensible appointments, Mr.. Tru-
man has hurt the cause Of his party
by eifecting u cleavage within It.
For the second thing involved In
tho resignation Of Mr.. Iekes 10 that
only Mr.. Henry Wallace Is left in
the cabinet with influence among
what Ii generally called left wing"
circles. There are now TumOrs that
Mr.. Wallace will soon follow the
path Of Mr.. Ickes. II this report is
true, Mr.. Truman will have effected
n clean break with that section Of
tho party without whose support
hS cannot possibly be elected. These
actions Of Mr.. Truman would seem
TO substRntiats the recent an
nouncement that no would not be
u candidate for tho Office Of PreSi-
dent In the next election. Mr.. Tru-
man cannot help but see that his
policy on appointments IL harmful

NEGROES in the PTA

Every Negro parent in this city
owes II to his child to take n part
In the activities Of tho Parent
Teachers Association. To do every
thing possible to set ones children
on the path to becoming n good
citizen Ia the duty Of every parent.
The local P'rA Is u democratic or
gRniEation, and membership is
available to all parents who have
children In the public school Sys.
tenn. Tho PTA offers a chance for
n parent to understand the school
life of his child. and II also offers
the teacher an opportunity to learn
about the home life Of the student.
An earneSt correlation Of these two
viewpoints will certainly be- helpful
to u child.
A drive has been recently started
by the PTA to curb Juvenile delin-
Quency. The success of this drive

Harold l.. Ickes' resignation from
the Department Of the Interior Is
now a matter Of record. This res
ignatiOn will, however, have far
reaching effects upon the coming
elections. There Are two things in
volved In this IAfaire lckss. First,
1t Is in effect an attack not only ON
Mr.. Paulsy but on Mr.. TrumAn'S
policy Of appointment Of men 70
public Office. Second. 1t signifies .
possible break between the admin
istration and the left wing Of the
Democratic party.
This need Of our government for
capable men has never BEEN ~
acute AS II Ii now. A capable man
certainly should not be disqualified
from holding high Office because
he Ia o personal friend Of this PrSSi-
dent. Mr.. Truman has, however,
gone far beyond this policy. Most
uf his appointments have come
from his cotsris Of personal friends.
Mr.. John W. Snyder. Mr.. George
Allen, Mr.. James K. VaFdaman and
numerous others are distinguished
chiefly by their appalling mOdioc-
rity. Worse, however, than any Of
these Ii the appointment Of Mr.. Ed
ward PAuley ~ UndsrsecrstaTy Of
the Navy. Mr.. PRulsy, rs everyone
knows, In private life IL an oil OPP
orator. The Navy controls huge oil
reserves. Twice In the last two
decades these reserves have caused
two congressional Investigations,
one Of which resulted In the Tea
Pot Dome scandal. Any decision
regarding these reserves will be
looked upon with Askanee even II
the decision made IL fair and sqult-
able. Therefore 1t would seem In
cumbent upon MIR. Truman to APP
point u person to this office who Ii
In no way connected with the oil
business. II Mr.. Truman feels that
MIR, Pauley just has to have some
appointment, he could at least APP
point him To aoms other Doat
There can be little doubt that Mr..
lckes struck a vigorous blow ut
Mr.. Humans government by
crony" policy. Indeed Mr.. Truman
would do well to Offset some Of Mr..
Ickes' criticism by making n very
good appointment to tho Depart

WASHINGTON. = Another after
math of war years was disclosed in
a census bureau report that increas-

into positions of ''heads of families"

In 1910 only Is per cent of Amer
lean families looked to woman
as the family head, the report re-
veals, while by We Day, the per-
centage had climbed to nearly %.
This means, the bureau says, that
three million more families have a

State S Unique
onc-man Probes
Realize Results

LANSING, MICH. - Michigan's
unique one-man grand jury system
is developing into sizable govern
ment activity, with seven inquiries
now in progress in six counties and
more than $500, 600 in state and To-
cal funds earmarked to pay the
bills.
Targets of the jurors range from
gambling, bribery and liquor con-
troll to labor and local courts. An
estimated 1880 witnesses have tes-
tilted before the inquisitors.
AS an aftermath of the investiga-
tions, nearly 200 citizens have been
indicted, the list including legisla-
tors, state and local police officials,
labor leaders, bankers, industrialists
and gamblers.
The Michigan system of one-man
grand juries dates back to the De-
troit police court procedure of the
1880s. The statute providing for the
system, which was not written un-
til 1917, enables justice of the
peace, police judge or judge of a
court of record to act as grand
juror whenever, upon filing of a
complaint by a citizen or official,
he has cause to suspect that crime
has been committed within his
jurisdiction.
Provision is made for subpoening
witnesses, who may be punished for
contempt of court.
Legality of the one-man probe has
been upheld several times by the
Michigan Supreme court, most re-
Gently in 1915.

Outstanding as community lead

served as a director of Northeast

citation and vice president Of the
Texas F .F.A. association.

Future Farmers of America is the
national organization of farm boys

Main detectives of Future
Farmers of America are to de-
velop agricultural leadership,

In the emblem of Future Farmers
of America, the owl is symbolic Of
wisdom and knowledge; the plow is
the symbol of labor and tillage of the
soil; the rising sun is emblematic
of progress, and the day that will
dawn when all farmers are trained
and have learned to cooperate; the
cross-section Of an ear of corn rep
resents common agricultural inter-
ests, since corn is native to Amer
lea and grown in every state, and
