ByCopenhaqenM Mayor
BY the Associated Press


COPENHAGEN, July 30.-"It Il
unworthy to treat the city's guests
like that" Lord Mayor H. P. Soeren-
sen said on the Copenhagen radio

gates to a World Baptist Convention
I'VE cannot in decency classify
human beings according to color,
declared the Lord Mayor in a broad
cast statement. The Seventh Con-
gress of the Baptist World Alliance
began yesterday.
1--WE had hoped that racial dis
elimination died with Hitler" he
said. "The persecution of Danish
Jews should be remembered. Negroes
ought to have equal rights with
other American citizens, but we in
Denmark in any case ought not tc
(show) prejudice against them"
Some 5000 delegates, after hearing
a message of encouragement from
President Truman, yesterday sent
him this answer:
"Baptists from many nations now
in session in Copenhagen = have
heard your gracious and heartening
words with gratitude and apprecia-
ton. We rejoice in the declaration
of religious liberty so clearly estab-
lished in the first amendment to the
United States Constitution. We pray
the continuing favor of God upon
you and the people of the United
States and particularly do we SYM

Denies Pan American Connection.
When a reporter asked him if he

am not"
He reiterated his recent statement
that for some months this investiga-
ton has been in the hands of Sen
ator Ferguson, Republican, of Mich
igan, and that it began in 1912 when
President Truman was chairman OF
the War Investigating Committee
Senator Brewster insisted his first
knowledge of the investigation came
in February of this year when Mr.
Hughes got in touch with him and
asked for a hearing.
Senator Brewster's remark as to a
serial" presumably had reference
to the fact that on Monday Mr.
Hughes also issued statement crit
icizing Senator Brewster.
Mr.. Hughes is listed among the
witnesses the Senate group expects
to hear before it completes present
hearings on the wartime award OF
$40, 900 900 in airplane contracts to
Mr.. Hughes and Henry L. Kaiser
No planes were produced under the
contracts before the wars end.
Closed Hearing Held.
Senator Brewster told reporters
he did have lunch with Mr.. Hughes
last winter.
Last February, he said Mr.. Hughes
requested and received hearing
before a closed session of the War
Investigating group.
At that time, Senator Brewster
said, he invited the aeronautical
engineer and film producer to be his
luncheon guest at a Washington
hotel.
I'VE talked about everything,
Senator Brewster added.
Senator Brewster has been inter-
ested in bills introduced in the Sem
ate and House which propose to
create a single United States air.
line for overseas aviation by group
ing private airlines under Govern
ment supervision.
Meyer Reported in Paris.
This policy proposal has backing
from Pan American but is opposed
by TWA.
Hearings were held in both the
Senate and House on this last ses-
sion but no committee action was
taken," Senator Brewster recalled
today.
At yesterdays hearing Senator
Brewster called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Hughes contracts
have had. attention of the Senate
group since July, 1912, when Presi-
dent Truman, then Senator from
Missouri, was chairman of the
committee.
Meanwhile Noah DIETRICH, execu-
tive vice president of the Hughes
Tool Co., informed the Senate group
that John Meyer, publicity man for
Mr.. Hughes, will be unable to ap-
pear for testimony on Thursday.
The committee wants to ask Mr.
Meyer about reports he staged lavish
parties for Government and military
officials at the time Mr.. Hughes was
beginning work on Government con-
tracts.
Mr.. Dietrich said Mr.. Meyer is in
Paris and has been unable to obtain
air transportation to appear as a
witness this week. He said Mr..
Meyer wants to be heard on Monday.
In New York, an aide of Mr..
Trippe said the Pan American head
did not plan at this time to comment
on Mr.. Hughes statement.

tuberculosis can be wiped out.
That is the statement Of many
medical men and research work
ers who have made studies Of the
dread disease.
However this can not be ac-
complished by the simple exc
pedient Of waving a magic wand
or by some simple cure-all device.
It will take the full cooperation
of every citizen of the country.
There are no exceptions. Tuber-
culosis is no respector Of class or
social position. 1t strikes slowly
and insidiously. -
A commendab1e move Is the
bringing to Kennewick and other
communities Of the State Health
Department mobile X-ray ma
chine by the Benton County Tu-
berculosis league.
The first move in this big battle
is to find out where the enemy
is hiding. The league urgently
requests everyone in the COM
rnunity to take advantage Of this
opportunity for X-rating.
Full cooperation is the key to
success in the drive against tu-
.berculosis. Don't just say: ut
can't be me-" It might easily be
you or a member of your family
who is carrying the deadly virus.

The Ditch

Committees from various groups
as well as many individuals are
still striving to devise ways and
means of protecting the city's
population from the hazards Of
the open irrigation canal.
While there is no sign OF
"giving up" it has been found that
the problem is extremely diff
cult to solve.
Communications from other
cities that have wrestled with the
same problem reveal that no real
solution has yet been reached.
Yakima attempted to force the
issue by ordinance. This proved
unsuccessful. Voluntary fencing
or covering has at best proved to
be only a partial solution.
What to do and how to do it is
still the question. Just because
other communities have failed so
far is no reason why opponents
of the plan should give up here.
There il an answer somewhere.
If Kennewick people can find It
they may be doing a favor not
only for our own people but the
residents of many other commune
ties as well.
