Well, tonight the big shoLs il e

at the Rancho Grande. They have
invited us little guys for free-but
we have to buy our own drinks.
That's like getting free ticket to
the circus and then having to sit
under the grandstand.
It's the first time the tomateros
ever had an exclusive party. Per-

Discrimination Must End.
We must end discrimination in

OF their individual abilities. Dis
elimination against certain racial

women, not only Is repugnant to the
principles of our democracy, but Of
ten creates artificial "labor short
ages" IN the midst of labor surplus.
Employers and unions both need to
re-examine and revise practices re-
sulting In discrimination. I recon-
mend that, at this session, the Con-
