Dear "Nellie::"
have before me your article
published in the Union Bulletin
of Sunday, September 81, 1947,
In that article you have something
to say about the fact that Nina
Hoadley was crowned queen OF
Kennewick Grape Carnival held
in 1912, and that highlight OF
her reign that year was that Scott
Henderson, then Kennewick ed
itor, oyciated as prime minister
and placed the crown on the
queens head" Either you must
have misunderstood the present
Mrs.sR. c. Mounsey or her men,
Dry was at fault. 1 have before
me a copy of the Kennewick Re-
porter of Wednesday, September

pictures of as fine exhibits of

and chorus of thirty girls joined
in the ode while the crowd cf1eered

"Miss Nina Hoadley had been
elected queen and the ceremony
of the browning was gorgeous. The
stage setting with the pages, flow

Bar Association Action
On Delinquency Praised

The Lincoln Park Citizens Asso-
citation last night commended the
District Bar Association for act
ing to solve the juvenile delinquent
problem.
A letter from Austin F. Garfield,
president Of the Bar Association,
stated special meeting will be held
May 81 in the United States Cham
ber of Commerce building to form a
permanent nation wide organization
to combat youthful delinquency.
The association, in another action,
objected to any measure to license
all operators of Is nm. film pro-
jectors. Such regulation would
mean the hiring of a licensed cam
eraman to show a simple film for
church, school or private party, it
was said.
The group asked police of the fifth
and ninth precincts to enforce regu-
lations against cycling on the side
walks, as there have been several
pocketbook snatching from bicycles.
The organization donated $22 to
the Washington Police Boys Club.
i The meeting was held in the Ep-
worth Methodist Church, Thir-
teenth street and North Carolina
avenue NE, with A. D. Calvert,
president, in charge.

Omaha Too

A strange title but nevertheless it serves the purpose. Omaha $
whispered Restrictive Covenant Movement against certain racial
groups has now bust forth in all its vicious IN ugly seed of hate and
fury. 1 FEE kE4ss
The East and the West coasts Of the United States has already
experienced this un-Ameican vicious movement that has only left sor-
row and destruction in its wake.
Now, Omaha citizens in certain sections Of the city have been
affected with this preying sickening disease. Like an insidious men
ace preying on the good Judgment of the citizens of this section Of
the city of Omaha, this vicios movement is being carried on by per-
son and persons who profess their love for these great and vast Unit
ed States and its Democratic way Of life and at the same time seek to
deprive through the use of restrictive covenants citizens in other sec
lions of Omaha the democratic right under the 18th and 18th amend
ments cf our Constitution to live where they 50 desire IN the city
of Omaha. @~~4 . -s s.Acsal4 ~.
j. A small minded lawyer of ouru city is Leading a group of citi-
zens that ought to be using their excellent talent to the building of
a great and strong America for future citizens Of all races, color, and
creed rather than support Of fiendish estrictve covenants that can only
bring about unrest and illfeeling amongst the good citizens of Oma-
ha. ~ ?gsss$x.
This lawyer has been 50 insstent n trying to sp,ead his evil pro-
paganda that he has used trickery in order to- try and spread his a-
tvities.
The great pilgrimage of good citizens of Omaha to the office Of
the Registrar Of Deeds Thomas O"Connor demanding that their names
be removed from this list is a definite Indication that this lawyer
doesnt speak the sentiments of the community he IS trying to operate
in. " ASH
This attorney and those that are behind him show their weak
ness and their unassurance Of The legality of such petitions when they
resort to trickery to get citizens 10 sign such petitions. He and they
are already shaking in their boots because they themselves now real
ie they they have betrayed the American way Of life by their tn-
American deed. They stand accused by the good citizens Of the com
mnity that they have tried to spread their vicious movement and the
rest of the good citizens of the city of Omaha.
The rise of resentment to such activities by the civic feeders,
business and professional citizens as manfessed by their resolution
and protest shows the trend of thought of these good progressive cii-
zens of Omaha.
This newspaper along with The progressive thinking citizens Of
the city of Omaha call to the Mayor of our city, City Commissioners
andofficialsof Douglas County to use any and all legal methods at
your command to suppress this evil activity by this lawyer and his
followers that are only-sowers Of sefds Of unrest and intolerance

ernor Dewey believes fair and

Senator Taft seems to have in
creased his lead over most Of the
other prospective candidates. He
is very strong in the potent Mid
die West, and he has a good
following in the industrial East.
But the opposed Taft and Dewey
forces could conceivably eliminate
each other at the convention. That
is why some commentators feel
that there is a distinct possibility
that neither may be the candidate.
In the meantime. talk of a
third-party seems to be growing.
It's advocates say that the Repub-
licans are hopelessly reactionary,
and that the Democrats are weak.
ill-disciplined and vacillating.
Some curious third-party tickets
have been proposed, one Of them
being Henry Wallace with Elliot

take this kind of talk too serious

High Price Tags

The argument over the causes and cues of commodity price in
fation has degenerated into a buckpassing contest. Labor blames
capital and capital blames labor. Various segments of business blame
other segments of business. Government officials attack industry, and
industry counter attacks in turn. And a good many consumers seem
to feel everyone save themselves is at fault.
The truth is that the guilt must be shared by all elements in the
American economy. And the cure, if there is to be ONE can be
achieved only by unified attack on the fundamental forces that push
prices up-Ad the value of the dollar down.
First of all, prodigal government is a very strong inflationary
Influence. The terrible burden of deba the country now has makes
this danger infinitely greater than lit ever was before. We must put
our fiscal house in order.
The productivity of labor is all important. A basic reason for
high prices is that output per man in producing industry has gone
down-while wages have gone up. This philosophy OF more money
for less work is one ofthe best friends imitation has.
The attempt of some businesses to earn excessive profits comes
into the same category. 1t is an inexcusable form of consumer ex-
ploitation. fortunately, it is gradually being corrected as competition
becomes more intense.
The type Of prodigal buyer who will pay anything for what he
wants made theblack market in tie past-and is a dangerour mhu'
ence still. However, the easy money seems to be running out winch
is a blessing to the country.
These factors contribute to the high price tags you ee OF goods
in stores. Theyindicae why efforts of retailers to reduce prices can
NOT nroduce much in the way Of results underr present conditions.
Reform must begin at the souce-and until thai happens the price

have often contended that in
America you have the people

could ever have under any Of the

is the straight answer to the

be added the fact that in totalita-

you would still not have as many
people as own the American Tele-

the tenth largest in the country.
Moreover, it is significant that
this corporations stockholders far
outrank in number its 500, 1000

add the stockholders to the en-

Freedom eral Motors, biggest

period at the peak of armament

No single person owns more than
1.5 per cent Of all General Mo-

While it is remembered that

many stockholders. Notable also
is the fact that many educational,
