Highly Successful

Although the Easter Sea
Sale campaign has of1ciall
closed, activities of the Bay
State Society for the Crippled
ana Handicapped will be en-
phaSized more strongly than
ever. Incidentally, contribu-
tions for this worthy cause,
which aids the crippled and
handicapped of whatever age,
creed, or color, are still pour
ing in and will be gratefully
accepted at the State Head
quarters, $40 Main st, Worces-
ter, Mass.
The sale Of the Easter Seals
was highly successful, and mil
lions of the attractive seals
we're purchased by Bay State
residents, all of whom were
made aware of the fact that
Bay State Society's activities
are confined solely to the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts,.
The Work of the society in no
way tresspasses upon the work
of any other organization, eth
er public or private. Parker
Trowbridge, president of the
society, has expressed the
thanks of the trustees and
members of its Easter Seal
Sale Committee for the re-
sponSe made to the appeal for
the sale of these seals. Many
men and women prominent in
social, industrial, and civic life
devoted a great deal of their
time and energy during the
campaign to the work of aug.
menting the sale Of the seals.

House Puts USES
Under The States

WASHINGTON, D. CAMP
Estates Rights" advocates won a
major victory in the house of rep
resentatives Tuesday, when they
voted 263-113 to return the United
States Employment service to state
control not later than June 80.
President Harry S. Truman had
asked retention of federal admins
tration of USES until June 80,
1947.
But a coalition of Republicans
and southern Democrats voted over
whelmingly for the earlier date.
Goes to Senate
The measure now goes to the
senate. IF approved there in it's
present form, administration lead
ers predict it will run into a presi-
Dental veto.
Negro leaders oppose the return
of USES back to the states, be-
cause the hiring under the state
plans will hurt the Negro job seek
ers in the states which have jim
crow patterns.
There are many leaders, who feel
that the return of USES to states
will counterfeit anything that
FEPC legislation will attempt to
do, if passed.

Kentucky Legislator Attacks KY.
Stores For Open Discrimination
Anderson To
Push PASSAGE
Of Measure

LOUISVILLE-(ANP) - An
attack was made this week against
Louisville and Lexington stores,
who have refused to serve Negro
women, when a bill was intro
duced in the general assembly by
Charles w. Anderson Jr., Louis
vile attorney and member of the
legislature.
During the past several years a
large number of Louisville and
Lexington stores catering to wo-
mems apparel, and particularly
Stewards Dry Goods company
and Selman's, have refused to sell
or wait upon Negro women where
the garment to be purchased was
required to be fitted or tried on
by the prospective customer.
Mr.. Anderson's attact against
this form of discrimination was
encouched in bill, which if en-
acted into law would prohibit
any owner, manager or employee
of mercantile establishment to
refuse to serve any prospective
customer because of race or color,
or to deny any customer any of
the privileges of the store accord
ed to other prospective customers.
Violation of the act would bring
a fine of not less than $50 nor
more than $500.

HEARINGS
ON HASTE

WASHINGTON - (NNPA) -
The Senate Committee on Territor-
les and Insular Affairs has decided
to hold open hearings on the NOM
nation of Dean William H. HASTE
of the Howard Law School to be
governor of the Virgin Islands,
Senator Millard E. Tydings, Dem
ocrat, of Maryland, its chairman,
disclosed last Friday.
This hearing is expected to afford
Southerners another opportunity
for race batting. There is no ques-
ton of Judge Hastie's fitness for
the office. His experiences as dean
of the Howard Law School, federal
Judge of the Virgin Islands and
civilian aide to the Secretary of
War amply fit him for administra-
ton of the Virgin Islands.
Opposition Likely
Senators Allen J Ellender, of
Louisiana, and James O. Eastland,
of Mississippi, both Democrats, are
likely to oppose him because of
race. There are enough northern
Democrats and Republicans on the
committee, however, to assure a
favorable report on his nomination
Senator Tydings said no date has
vet been fixed for the public hear
ines on the nomination.
