TOPEKA, Kans., Aug. s {P.--
Traditionally dry Kansans voted
today for large slate OF congress
sional and State Offices in q pri-
mary election in which liquor was

The prohibition issue was cen
tered in the Democratic contest for
the Governors nomination, in
which former Secretary OF War
Harry H. Woodring proposed re-
peal of the State prohibition law
and establishment OF State liquor
stores with county options.
Mr.. Woodring, a former Cover

didates and Farmer Word r. How

extensively to break up what he
called "Woodring's Democrat ma

seats in the House and for the State
Legislature.
There was no contest this year
for the Senate.

Hundreds, thousands, maybe mil
lions of them, stretching for miles,
as far as the eye can see, greeted
Mr.. Schneider upon his arrival IN
Honduras, Central America, when
he began working for the tropical
division of the United Fruit Com
pany as Electric Superintendent.
They were wild, hectic, rio;ous
days; his weekends punetuatad
by the natives wild debauchely
during which the swiftly flying
machete ruled supreme!
1t only seems natural that such
an expert electrician as Frank
Schneider should have had re.
ceived his initial electrical knoNl-
edge from the Dean of all Elec-
tricians, Thomas Alva Edison, OF
New Jersey. 1t was under this
renowned parsonage that Mr.,
Schneider studied while in the
World | Navy.
Born in Philadelphia, the City
of Brotherly Love, Frank Schnei-
der soon tired of the bitter cold,
biting sleet and dirty slush of the
northern chimes and turned lis
attentions towards the land Of
eternal sunshine.
Mr.. Schneider came to Florida
to live permanently, working f."
the Sheffield Electrical Co. in
Homestead as their Electrical Eli
gineer. Upon the re-opening Of
the Key West Naval Station, there
was a call for experienced elec-
trical men and he felt it was his

furthering his gyro schooling, SO

Upon his return to the Navy Base
he became Night Quarterman in

two years.

then, too, those American families
who tour the world seeing the

sightseeing trip in which dates
are flung rapidly at them and a
little awe and suspense creep into
the speakers voice in speaking
of bye gone days. They motor
away after a visit of sometime
with the views of wide expanse
of waters before their minds, of
English type houses, and a people
who would much rather be happy
than hustling. They go away into

Men working hard in a navy

on which they are working is
threatened by hurricane! That
ship was the USS Wildcat,
brought to MOB for conversion in

hurricane, group of men volun-

ship. Among these men was the

to be! MIR. S. recalls the huge

Mr.. eSchneider still chuckles

There also was a possibility that
other agreements might be sub
mitted in time for consideration.
Some U. N. officials expected Bel
GUM to offer an agreement on the
West Africa territory of Ruanda-
Urundi, but no definiate informa-
ton was available on the status of
Belgian negotiations.
The two agreements submitted by
France concerned French Togoland

Charter Determines Membership.
If only France, Britain and Aus
tralia offer agreements, the Councils
initial membership would be deter
mined automatically by the charter,
with these three countries serving as
administering states and the United
States. Russia and China as nom
administering states.
The council membership must in
clude all states administering trust
territories and all the five major
powers, either as administering or
nonadministering states. The char
ter also provides that as many other
members must be elected as are
necessary to insure that the total
membership is equally divided be-

Definite promises of trusteeship
agreements from Great Britain and
Australia today virtually assured
creation of the important United
Nations Trusteeship Council at the
coming session of the General As

These, together with agreements
already submitted by France, would
provide the necessary number of

The only factor which may de-

possibility that the Assembly might

under which the trust territories
would be administered.

A Blood Bank Hero
By OLIVER W. (OLLIE)
HARRINGTON


ATJlSL, AuLnOT, Lecturer
Twenty-five-year-old Milton Kra-
mer, 2797-TH, is merely a number
in various Government files. His
prison sentence would have been up
quite a while ago-if he had Con
formed" But he is still forced to
idle away his time in Terre Haute
Federal Penitentiary because he
handed a protest against the Jim
Crow blood bank to a Red Gross
doctor before donating his blood.
Don't jump to conclusions: Milton
is not Negro. He is a Jew. Be-
hind prison bars, with several years
of his life at stake, he struck a
firmer blow for democracy than
have many of us on the outside who
are free"
The treatment of Milton Kramer,
member of more than one minor
ity, points up a number of features
of our decaying society. | already
said he belonged to the Jewish
minority. That's enough by far for
any one individual in a day when
anti-Semitism and other forms of
bigOtry threaten to destroy Ameri-
ca. But for philosophical and pO-
litical reasons, Milton chose to join
the minority of conscientious OBJ
iectors-and for this he was SEN
fenced, along with two Negro COM
rades, to five long years. And
when he and his friends encountered
segregation and Jim Crow at Milan
(Michigan) Correctional Institu-
tion-where they were first incar-
cerated-Milton found himself a
member of a prison minority that
was fighting for the rights of an
other minority. That today is his
crime in the eyes Of the Federal
Bureau of Prisons: his parole is
being withheld because he lost a
years good time" since handing
his blood bank protest to the Red
Cross doctor was considered an at
tempt to "smuggle out" a letter.
For one to feel called upon to
object to the carnage of war in an
era when war is obsolete is itself a
commentary on the present state
of mankind. For one to encounter
racist practices in a Government
rehabilitation" institution points
to the hypocrisy of the officials in
charge. And for a man to be penal
lied for a bona-fide protest against
the vicious blood bank policy is the
height Of authoritarianism in a
