It's Like This...
By MARTY RICHARDSON

If I were looking for a barom- eter by which to measure the pro- gress of the race over the past
 two decades quickly and not too inaccurately, I believe I could use the annual Negro College Fund drive with reasonable safety. Here can be seen simultaneously sever al important things: first, that we have progressed from the humble, hat-in-hand panhandling stage of Negro educational support to a po- sition of eminence from which we make a bu. 'nesslike, dollars-and- cents, proposition to the public, stating simply and without fan fare what we need and what can be expected from the contributions. An Important Step Forward
 Second, we have come to a point where the American public is at once made aware of our need, and is adequately briefed on the fact that there ARE Negroes, that they l DO get educations, and that the means whereby many thousands of i them get these educations are diff icult, specialized, and most inn oortant, these educations are pro- luctive of high dividends to the American social and economic pie

State Der1ls Risk Loss Of Votes
By Mitchell Jackson

From all indications, the entire State Democratic Organization is expected to suffer seriously be- cause of the manner in which thev have handled their program rela- tive to the Negroes and their rep resentation.
 For twelve years, Hartford Ne gro Democrats have worked stren- uously for the successful victories of the Democratic States, city and state. These states have been drawn up, not only in Hartford but throughout the State, and placed in the hands of Negro Poli- ticians with the statement there it is - our slate - these will be the persons for certain positions. The methods have been Nazi-hke and dictatorial. These many states have been literally rammed down the throats of the Negro voters with no "ifs", lands" or "buts" asked. There has been no State or local representation of any signltl- canoe offered to Negro Democrats;
 
 there has been no request, by the State nor Town committees for Negro representative in any posi- tion of importance; there has only been there it is - work for 1t.
 Negro Democrats have reached their patience end. They will not support candidates without expres- sing before hand, their approval or disapproval of persons slated to fill these various positions.
 Negro Democrats want patronage they demand patronage. They will insist on at least one repre- sentative on the Democratic State Central Committee. They will ln- sist on written notarized promises of imporant jobs and commissions wherein Negro representation IS needed. They will insist on pre- knowledge of proposed candidates and pass on their names for ap- proval. d
 Unless these things are secured Neqro Democrats throughouC Connecticut are being and nave been organized to bolt against the marty and throw their weight to those who desire to grant these concessions.

Job Practices Unfair

During the month of January 1946, Kenneth L. Hipkman of 30 Mahl Ave-, Hartford passed the auditors examination certifying him for a position with the State of Conn. Three weeks later MT. Hikman was offered a position as auditor covering the territory mainly of the Merit Parkway. Due to the inconvenience of being away from home for periods of time, MT. Hickman refused the appointment. CSuch is in accord with the Merit system).
 Two weeks later MT. Hickman was offered position as an audi tor at the Wethersfeld State Prison. MT. Hickman then called MT. Lane CD head of that depart ment of the State Prison, telling him of his qualifications and an- swered other questions that were apparently favorable to MT. Lane. MT. Hickman was asked to come to the prison office the following day to discuss the position, and to make final arrangements, so that he might begin work inn mediately.
 Upon arriving at the office of MT. Lane the next morning MT. Hickman was astounded at the questions asked of him. MT. Lane asked MT. Hickman if he could take dictation. The reply was no. Then, said MT. Lane, eff you are unable to take shorthand, do you type?" MT. Hickman replied 'No." MT. Hickman continued "I am here with regard to the position as auditor - I think that what you are asking for is a secretary" MT. Lane replied" It is customary for my auditors to be a secretary as we'll as an auditor" This implica-

RIGHT DOWN
 THE LINE
By George A. DaVid

(This is the first of number of articles to be written in thls col umn concerning important proo- lens of the day).
 RUSSIA MIGHT HAVE - IF
 When the big Steel Strike threatened to destroy the entire economic structure of the United States, it was also possible to make other powerful nations req 1ize a great weakness in our JJtopian form of Government.
 At the present rate of interna- tional diplomatic manoeuverlng to get into the drivers seat, the ma lions of the world will eventually Income victims of Universal or World Government. This type o1 World administration, Ii sincere and genuine, is the answer to the problem of world peace. But the present path, that is being taken toward the establishment of world government, is crowded with Jeal- ousy, greed, lust for power and other deadly stumbling blocks. Ii, bv using this treacherous path, world government is established, then America is in for total eco- homie destruction.
 Why? one might ask; The an- swer is simple. World government, as is being suggested today, would mean all sorts manoeuverlngs by international politicians, inter national bankers, and International financiers. It would be a picnic for shrewd international econo- mists.
 There would be nothing to pre- vent powerful financial interests of Russia, England, France, Ar gentina, etc, to make negotiations to purchase controlling stocks in such huge U. s. institutions as U. s. Steel Corp, especially when these industries are stalemated by | strikes and there are no assets only huge liabilities. In such situ- .tions, management of our most powerful industries would sell without much persuasion, to re- lieve themselves of the financial burdens of non-producing fac tories.

Carpe Diem Frat Holds Forum
By Arthur Johnson

The Carpe Diem Fraternity
 launched it's annual Spring and Summer civic Programs at the North End Community Center this week.
 Dr. Couey, head of the Veterans Service Center, was the first of two guest speakers to address the fraternity and it's guests. Dr. Couey's subject Veterans of Hart ford" was selected both in the in terest of the Fraternity's returned Veteran members, and guest Vet erans of Hartford's locality.
 The question period was high lighted by the fact that there were enough special interest" groups represented among men present to indicate need for new school courses and extension of the job training programs. Especially stressed by Herbert Foster, was the need for a Chef & Bakers course. GA minimum of 12 (per- sons) Veterans names are needed to warrant such a course.)
 The second speaker Dr. James returned veteran, rep resented the American veterans. ] He stressd the AVC's policy of l. integration for all races md that they desire no separate Negro chapters.
 Committee on arrangements Tere: Alton Smith, Guy Hawkins, nd Arthur Johnson.

Hartford Times and the Sunday Herald.
 Now the extreme tension has been relieved for the time being, since more buses have been added to tn North End sections. If the problem recurs it has been sug- gested that a formal complaint be sent to the Governor of the State to extend his powers to allow per sons to legally operate "jitney ser vices" with licenses, as was the case of many years ago before the Connecticut Company gathered it's forces to obliterate their exist ence.

5 SALMON TR0LLERS'
 WIVES GO WITH FEM FOR SEASONS WORK

Five adventurous ladies who claim that while woman's place is in the home, home is where you find 1t, are brushing up on their sea-worthy recipes preparatory to setting up housekeeping aboard their husbands salmon trollers for a season at Funter Bay It will be first trip for Mrs. Jack Krimin and Mrs. Arnold Hendrioksen, but Mrs. Bill Kass- ner spent five weeks on her hus- bands troller last year and Mrs. Gordon Cleveland and Mrs. Pete Larsen have both gone trolling previously.
 The deep-sea home-makers are especially menu-conscious, because it is necessary to eat from five to six meals daily to keep warm at sea. They worry about butter and mayonnaise like everyone else and occasionally about meat and vege- tables when the fish buyer (who brings supplies when he takes fish) is delayed. But there is always salmon: fried, baked, roasted, dic- ed, creamed and hashed-but un- disguisable after the first few weeks.
 The fishermen. are apt to get up with the incoming tides at 2;45 Ia. m. and sometimes stay up as long as light lasts, with brief maps in the afternoon. Between rising and collapsing in their hunks at night they eat large quantities of meat, coffee, potatoes, canned vege- tables, hot tea and toast (and sal- mon) with sea-baked bread, cook ies, and even pies and cakes, to brighten the table.
 When they aren't cooking the wives help with the catch, moving the fish and wetting them to pre- vent shrinkage and washing the bloody troller decks. If life grows monotonous (they rarely have time to notice whether it is monotonous or not) they play cards, sew, knit and occasionally leave the boat for exercise on the shores of Funter Bay.
 It's a hard life, the ladies agreed but they seemed mighty cheerful about it!

JOAN F0NTAINE
 IN NEW COMEDY
 AT 10TH CENTURY

The goth Century, in The Af- fairs of Sunsan," has Joan Fon- taine playing the first real comedy role of her career and getting a kick out of it, too. For another thing, Miss Fontaine, as actress Susan Darrell. isn't content with one romance. She wants four and gets em-something little differ ent than the usual Hollywood form ula.
 George Brent, Dennis O'Keefe, Walter Abel and Don DeFore are the four men with whom the un- practicable Susie has her fling before finally making up her mind
 The narrowing down pro cess provides the audiance with Q laugh treat and, incidentally, gives Joan opportunity to wear glamor- ous gowns which reveal her to be quite an eyeful.
 Things start popping when Susan returns from an overseas tour and promises to march the aisle with airline big-wig Walter Abel. Then, Walter discovers Susan has three other men in her life and decides to find out why her affairs with each of the others fizzled out At Walters bachelor dinner, the smitten trio unravel their yarns in a series of flashbacks. How ever, all this doesn't help Walter who remains quite in the dark about his fiancee. He finds out. too late-when she picks the win ner.
 To get the pick of the male crop, Joan adopts four different personalities to please each of her four different suitors. Overnight, she changes from naive home body to a sophisticated glamour girl, then to an intellectual aesthete complete with trimmed specs Joan is equally convincing in all four roles.
