| eVllS S1nSleQ out TOT SCdln1nS criticism was the failure of Congress to pass an FEPC bill, restrictive covenants in housing, which exist in prac- tically every American com mun1ty and inadequate health and education legislation.
 "Democracy has this last chance for itself, warned MT. White, e.. and the job can be done if only the leaders of America have the courage and faith with which to do it. 1 do not wish to overemphasize legislation, but it is the only tool to implement the struggle to gain full citizenship for all Americans"
 Immediately following his testimony before the Com lnittee, MT. White addressed the following message to President Truman "The Ma tional Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People is deeply concerned about in stances of discrimination a. gainst colored persons seeking employment or tranfers and that Executive Order steps be taken to prevent action which will unfairly deny employ ment to qualified persons sol ely because of their race.
 We have carefully consider ed the possibility of preven- tive action by the Civil Ser vice Commission and we have reached the conclusion that it will not be effective in checking discriminatory hiring practices on the part of per sonnel officers and other gov ernment officials.
 Paragraph f of Part I of the Order provides that the Commission shall maintain an adequate system of inspection to determine that equitable and sound application of stat utes, executive orders, regula- tions and standards relating to personnel management is being carried out by the a gencies. It Is also provided in Section 4.3 of Rule " that the appointing officer shall exercise his discretion in all personnel action solely on the basis of merit and fitness without regard to political or religious affiliations, marital status or race. It is unlikely that these provisions will give adequate protection to minor ity groups.
 Tt has been our experience that, because of it's many other duties, the Commission does not give proper emphasis to enforcing regulations against discrimination. The Final Re port of the FEPC indicates that the Commission itself re- port finding discrimination in only fifty-eight cases out of nearly 2,OOO handled during the war. We agree with the FEPC's conclusion that dis cretion" of departmenta1 per

By popular demand, Inez Washington, the young lady who recently stole the show at the Musicians Club, was hon. ored guest on the Floor Show, Saturday. Again, Miss Wash ington was wonderful. There is no doubt about 1t she is real ly great! She has just com pleted a short engagement at the Celebrity Club in New York. Many of us who didn't see the Miller Brothers Dane ing Team at the Schubert re- gently, had the honor of being entertained by George Miller, one of the Brothers, who really put down some fine steps.

Understand that the NAACP Dance at Lillian's was great too, Friday. That is what they say, "when it rains it pours'. Usually there is nothing much going on but just as soon as a big band comes to town things are going on all around town. Nevertheless, I suppose every one down there had a fine time.

Thomas Mann Blasts
Nietzsche Barbarism
That Guided Hitler
By Corter Brooke Jones

Nietzsehe's hypothetical superman,
who served Hitler as a model, was
called "the maximum in barbarism"
by Thomas Mann, the famous Ger
man novelist, in lecture last night
at Coolidge Auditorium in the Lii
| brary of Congress.
Summing up Nietzsche's philosophy
in the light of contemporary events,
DR.. Mann said the 18th century in
tellectual rebel had flashed across
the sky "like summer lightning"
pointing to the dawn of a new time.
DR.. Mann. who won the Nobel
Prize in 1929, fled Germany when
the Nazis came into power and be-
came an American citizen, dissect-
ed the German philosophers genius
He pointed to the fantastic direction
it finally took and the fundamental
errors it compiled. The author was
by turns scathing, dramatic and
compassionate as he took Nietzsche's
concepts apart and held them up for
the audience to see.
Genius Involved Malady.
What made him die an agonizing
death on the cross of thought?" DR..
Mann asked, considering the dissolu-
tion of the philosopher in madness.
And DR.. Mann spoke of the malady
| NietZsche contracted when he eX-
perimented with vice after a pious,
ascetic adolescence and early man
hood. This Illness said DR.. Mann,
was intertwined and connected with
his genius" which came to drift
into tractless wastes"
Who, DR.. Mann asked, tried to
put into effect phases of Nietzsche's
teachings, such as the urging that
the unfit be destroyed, the saying
that life was not in need of justice,
but of "unjustice?" The answer
obviously was "the Fascist Fuhrer."
None who has seen the efforts
Of the Fascists to apply some of
Nietzsche's philosophy literally, even
if he may have meant 1t at times
ironically, can read 1t today with
amusement, DR.. Mann pointed out.
Some of Nietzsche's writings, in the
light of what has happened to the
world since, appears today like the
talk of an excited adolescent. These
included his idea of war as a selec-
tive process for the betterment of
mankind, wedding out and a
clearsinc.
/ Quotes Oscar Wilde.
Dr. Mann quoted some epigrams
which came, not from the daring
philosopher who was admired by
many liberals" at the turn of the
century and later. but from Oscar
Wilde. These might well have been
stated in Nietzsche's writings" the
speaker added.
This I realize is sort of sac
rilege,' DR.. Mann remarked. wilde
was dandy. while Nietzsche was a
saint of immoralism."
Nietzsche's will to power" the
chief tenet in his philosophy, came
to take its place "in the trashy
theology of faseism," DR.. Mann
pointed out.
The author. who appeared in the
role Of fellow in Germanic literature
in the Library of Congress, was in
Itroduced by David Baumgardt, con-
lsultant in philosophy for the Library.

China To Adopt Stronger Policy Toward Russia

HAWKING, (P IA short-lived Chinese-Mongolian border foray by a band of cavalrymen from pro-Soviet outer Mongolia brought demands on the government of China yesterday to adopt strong CT policy toward Russia.
 The incident last week was dis cussed at closed meeting of the legislative Yuan, members said, as some sources viewed the fighting as the first open manifestation that China is in danger of losing Sinkiang province under possibly Soviet-Stimulated demands for it's autonomy.
 Foreign minister Wang Shin Chieh told the legislature that he was mot unsympathetic" to their demands for a firmer attitude in relations with the U. s. s. R. as soon as the government deter mines its policy, he said, "it will be carried out with fortitude."
 Meanwhile, a spokesman for the national defense ministry reported that government troops had re- captured Peitashan. Sinkiang city where the Mongols and Chinese forces clashed. It was retaken Sat u"day. a day after the Mongol in- cursion miles into Chinese terri tory.
 Russian sources here confirmed that the SovietS had trained and equipped a modern army" in outer Mongolia, including small 'but surprisingly efficient" air force.

Hawakita Charged With Treason

LOS ANGELES P-Treason- punishable by a possible death sentence-Was the charge on which a federal grand jury in- dicted Tomoya Kawakita, 25, American-born Japanese accused of torturing American war prison CTS while he was their Japanese prison camp foreman.
 The indictment was returned Wednesday after a number of witnesses described KaWakita's all legged brutal and degrading treat ment of American Servicemen in the Oeyama prisoner of war camp from Aug. 8, 1924, to Aug. 24, l945.
 Kawakita recently was arrested by FBI agents after one of the former prisoners, William L.. Bruce of San Luis Obispo, Calif., recognized him in a department store here.

IndiansI Land Ia Claims: ! l: Must Be Settled

WASHINGTON, (R) - Settle ment of Indian land claims is one of Alaska's most pressing prob lems, Warner w. Gardner, assist ant secretary of interior, told a House public lands subcommittee today.
 Gardner urged approval of a bill to permit the secretary of in- terior to negotiate with Alaska In- dians to establish their land rights.
 He said that no one now can be sure what valid claims the Indians may have. In some instances, In- dian villages hunt and fish over thousands of square miles of terri tory and then claim they have a right to the entire area. he said.
 Gardner described the situation as one of"great confusion" which threatens to hold up development of the Territory.
 He said the interior department is mot at all sure" that the pro- posed land negotiations would be successful, but feels it best to at

Alaska SS. Co. Now
 Under Private Operation

After more than five years of service as general agents for the War Shipping Administration and nearly eight years of "War serV- ice," the Alaska Steamship Com pany returned to private opera tions, effective with the sailing Of the s. s. Baranof from Seattle on June 6.
 The s. S. Aleutian followed, sailing from Seattle today, June l3, and a sailing of either the Baranof or the Aleutian is sChed uled for every following Friday from Seattle. Regular ports of call will be Ketchikan, Juneau, Cor dova, Valdez and Seward. The Baranof and the Aleutian will carry passengers, mail, baggage, express and a limited amount of cold storage and cool room freight.
 In addition, beginning June 26 and every third Thursday there after, the s. s. Denali is scheduled to sail from Seattle on the Seldo- via-Kodiak Island route. Freight vessel schedules to all parts of i Alaska will be released soon, L.. w. Baker, vice president and gen. eral manager, explained
 As early as September of 1889, many of the facilities of this pio- neer Alaska shipping firm were already involved in the war eff fort, being used to supply navy contractors working at Sitka, Ko- diak, Dutch Harbor, and other points in the Aleutians.
 Tn May of 1922, all vessels of the Alaska Steamship Company, along with others flying the American flag, were requisitioned by the War Shipping Administra- tion, and their operation has been under governmental control since then. During this period the Alas ka Steamship company, which had been operating IT vessels to and from Seattle and Alaska ports, was soon operating 56 ships, sailing to all parts of the world on war business.
 Despite the Limitations neceS- sarily placed upon us during the past years by military and war time needs, we have always done everything possible to give the transportation needs of the people of Alaska first attention" Baker said today. 'Now, with the return to private operation, we are look ing forward to a progressive pro- gram of expanding service to

WOld's Win
First Game

Wednesday the Board of Trade
were victims of Wold's in the clos
est ball game to date by a score
of a to 2. The win moved Wold's
out of the winless column and into
a tie with the Board at one win
and three losses each. The win for
the Board had previously come at
the expense of Wold's by a 10 to
7 margin
Wold's scored twice in the Sec
end and twice in the fifth, and
Gratwahl looked like he was going
to be the first pitcher to hurl a
shut-out, when an error and two
hits by the Board produced two runs
in the last of the seventh. Hage-
man gave up six hits for the Board
and Gratwohl was hit five times.

Farmers Union
Whips Roundup

The Farmers Union seemed to
have left all of their bad baseball
back in Lewistown; when they came
up against the state champions from
Roundup at Athletic park Thursday,
they soundly trounced the Miners 8
to 2. Hoffman, was given excellent
support from his teammates to reg
lister his seventh league victory, get
ting three hits himself out of the
10 for the team.
Laurel started in the first inning
to convince the fans that they were
not in a slump, as many had
thought, and took advantage of
loose playing by Roundup to score
twice. Mileski scored in the second
and then Laurel turned on the heat
in the third. Parker singled, Ander-
son walked, Peers was hit by a wild
pitch. Belinak drove in two runs,
Peers came in on a wild throw. G.
Rack sacrificed Belinak to second,
Mileski walked, Holman singled to
score Belinak, and A. Rack singled
in Mileski for the fifth run. At no
time did Roundup threaten to rally
as Hoffman, gave up only two hits
and Laurel committed only one err
ror.
Roundup started with Brychta on
the mound, but he gave way to
Warner in the disasterous third.
The Laurel victory kept the
Farmers in first place, whereas a
loss would have given the top spot
to the Merchants, who had at this
time played and won one more
game.

test last Sunday with a three-run
Z to A margin, only to get confused
and permit Roundup to tie the score.
Roundup then proceeded to keep
their momentum and won the game
in the eighth, II to Z.
Harry Ruff worked on the mound
for Laurel and struck out nine men
while giving up four walks and five
hits to hold the visitors we'll in
hand until the seventh. With one
down and runners on second and
third, three successive errors brought
in three runs. Laurel was unable
to score mostly because of j. Wall,
the mighty midget, who patrolled
center field for Roundup. He
brought down two long hits in that
and on two other occasions
saved Roundup by nice catching.
Mohalivich was the winning pitcher
and gave four hits, walked five and
famed six.
The Legion will travel to Roundup
Sunday to wind up their base
ball for the season. A game for
the midgets, 13 and under, and a
game for next years Legion candi-
dates is scheduled in Billings under

tiles can be obtained, which will

Eagles and Palace Win

Monday the Eagles added an
other win to their record, for the
second time against Wold's and by
the same score of 7 to 4.
Wold's jumped into an early three
run lead in the first inning and
added one in the third, but the
Eagles went along at a steady pace,
scoring once in the first, twice in
the second, once each in the fourth
and fifth and twice in the seventh
to make sure of their third win in
as many starts. Feuerbacher was
the winning pitcher, giving five hits,
while Craddock gave six hits. Son.
ny Void hit a four-bagger with lone
on in the third.
The Palace boys had to do it
twice to get credit for their vic
tory owe the Board, but Friday ran
in 10 runs against six to move into
their tie for first place with the
Eagles. Tuesday these two teams
were washed off the ball diamond
in the fourth for a no-contest, with
the Board trailing 10 to 1.
Johnson was again the winning
hurler and Hageman the loser, and
at the same time got two for two
including a home run. Hageman did
fine hitting as well as pitch
ing for the losers with three for
three, but the five-run rally by
the Palace in the fifth blasted any
hopes for a win.
