pINkS LATE LEAVING
 STREAMS THIS YEAR
 SAYS ExpERIMENTER

Sam Hutchinson, in charge of the fisheries experimental station at Little Port Walter for the Fish and Wildlife Service, Scientific Division, arrived here from Seattle this weekend and is to leave today or tomorrow for his station.
 Scientist Hutchinson reports that the downstream migration of young pink salmon was about six weeks late in the Port Walter area this year, due to the late spring break up. He stated, however, that the late run is favorable as there should be plenty of feed in the ocean for the small salmon at this late date.
 Principal project at the experi- mental station now is the marking of pinks in the stream to establish their homing instinct. The young salmon are being marked by clip ping their dorsal and adipose fins

COMMUNIST PARTY LEADS
 CzECH VOTES
Provisional Government Policies Appear Popu-
 lar with Voters

PRAGUE, May 27.-The Con- munists emerged today as the strongest political party in Czecho- slovakia on the basis of substantial returns from yesterdays Parlia- mentary elections. They won a plurality in Prague.
 Returns yet to come in from out lying districts held the answer to whether the vote of the Commun- ists and other extreme leftists would be sufficient to gain ma iority in the new assembly of 300 members.
 The moderate National Socialists the party of Eduard Benes until he became President = boiled a strong vote, though it was not as heavy as expected The compara- lively conservative Peoples Cath olic) Party made striking gains. For instance, the Peoples Party boiled lO5,OOO votes in Prague com pared to 31,000 in the last free election before the war.
 cThe Prague radio gave this standing for the parties at 4:15 am, PSF, today:
 Communists 2,217,71l votes, or 31.I5 percent of the votes counted;
 Czech Socialists, 1,303,463, 1881 percent;
 (Catholic Peoples, 1.l26.7O7, 15.82 percent;
 tSlovak Democratic, 9S2,924. 1881 percent;
 (Social Democrats, s62,494. 12.11 percent;
 (Slovak Freedom, 5s,65l, O.S4 per- cent.
 tSlovak Labor, 49,76o, or percent;
 (Blank ballots, 31,159, 045 per cent)
 With about half the nations T. 50G,000 votes counted, political writers made these observations:
 Czechoslovakia, by giving more votes to the Communists than any other individual party, showed that it had veered farther left. This indicated that the provision al governments policies such as standardization of industries, social experiments, and expulsion of Ger mans and Hungarians are basically popular. Tn effect, the election re- presented a vote of confidence in the government.
 Consequently, there probably will be few changes in the cabinet.

HEARING ON
 ALASkA SEA
 RATES ENDS
(Continued from Page One)

Increase asked at the Seattle hear ing for old ships.
 A greater increase for freight ships would also be necessary, he said, to bring the company the same rate of return as received by the VISA during last year when the Shipping Administration lost mon ey.
 Should Be Revision
 Skinner said his figures did not take into consideration a favor able return for owners.
 He agreed with Robert Scholl, counsel for the Alaska Development Board, there should be a revision in rates for some freight. He said it had been many years since rates were revised.
 John Jago, Shipping Administra- tion counsel, said that if the VISA continued to operate the ships ii could only do so at a loss. He said it might be worth considering whe- ther a subsidy should be requested for the Alaskan service.
 Jago said he had been much im- pressed at arguments of the Gov ernor of Alaska, the Alaska De- velopment Board and Alaska's At torney General, Ralph Rivers for better, cheaper service.
 Counsel for both the companies and government asked for a prompt commission decision on the request for rate increases, saying the AL aska fleets might be returned to their owners soon.
 The Commission gave the attor- neys until July to file briefs.

MONEY CAN
 ALTER PREJUDICE

New York-There was a time in more sports than baseball that a colored athlete could not get a look in. For instance, with the exception of Jack Johnson, for long years Negro pugilist could not get a look in when it came to the calibre of fights that meant real money.
 Now 1t appears that a great change has come in many fields of sport and at times one is in- clined to feel that this wind fall is precipitated by the al mighty dollar.
 Professional basketball for in- stance is becoming a big busi- ness and the clubs that can floor superior teams can roll in the money. Hence Rochester, a white professional basketball team has signed up Dolly" King a former Long Island Uni versity court great at $7000 for the season. And right on the heels of this innovation comes Buffalo another white pro-team in the same area signing Pop Gates for the season, with 1t no secret that his salary is in the same bracket.

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT PEOPLE by s. Filler
by s. Filler

In the hustle and hustle of the life of a great nation, where millions of lives are involved, there is very natural tenden- cy to overlook the smaller things and concentrate only on those that are big in magnitude and sensational. This is most un- fortunate point of view, es- pecially when it involves the matter of human personalities. For 1t is the little people of a nation that form it's backbone. The little John Does who for years struggle to establish homes, character and busl- nesses; the sum total of which efforts go to make or break the nation. These people seldom reach the headlines or receive public acclaim in proportion to their efforts and contributions.
 The Chronicle knows that its future very much like all other concerns that must depend upon public approval, relies upon this wholesome group of plain ordinary citizens. Therefore from week to week we want to give some recognition of small businesses as well as personali- ties who in their small way are contributing to the general wei fare. If your are conscious of such personalities we would welcome your submitting the facts about them that you feel would make a public interest story, for this is YOUR paper

PRINCETON GRAD HEADS COLUMBLANS

Atlanta, Ga.-The Princeton University Tiger certainly has nothing to be proud of in the activities of one of her grad uates, Homer l.. Loomis, who now occupies the spotlight in Georgia, trying to outdo Tal- madge and the Klan with hate doctrines.
 This young man hied himself to Georgia from New York City to organize what is called the Columbians. The major objec- tlves of this organization are, to control the United States by making Columbians politically dominant in all AS states, to make the United States into an American nationalistic state, to deport all Negroes to Africa and to make America a one-race nation.
 The order wears khaki uni forms with red lightning flash symbol inside a circle on the sleeves. Significantly enough they like to hold mass meetings in the dark and secure rabble rousing speakers who can work people into an emotional frenzy.
 At present the retiring Geor- gia States Attorney is trying to rush through court proceed ings that will outlaw the race hating organization.

 Without any apparent provo cation Clements while walking down the main street whipped out a pistol and began to fire away at any Negroes he saw. He killed two and seriously wounded another. Junior John- son, age 12, was killed instantly, while Leroy Wynn, age 16, died next day in the hospital. Grant Hester, age 40, who was stand ing nearby, was shot in the hand and chin.
