OLYMPIA, - A measure Ger.

No. rs. introduced by Represen-
tatives Newell J. Banks and Geo
rye Powell, Republicans, OF the
S7th Legislative District in Seat
tie - which includes within It's
boundaries a considerable num-
Der of racial minorities."
The bill is known as a Law
Against Discrimination in Employ
ment" and follows the general
pattern of the Fair Employment
Practice Act; which has caused
lengthy filibusters in Congress.
Similar bills have been introduced
in past Legislatures here but
failed of enactment.
The subject is one of the most
delicate to face any lawmaking
body-the problem being to per-
feet a law to assure equal treat
ment to minorities without work
ing to the detriment of major
tiles and giving extremists
sounding board to stir up racial
strife.
The preamble of the measure
states its purpose is to exercise
the police power Of the state to
eliminate practices of dis
elimination against any inhabit-
ants because of race, creed, color
or national origin.
It is proposed to establish a
board against discrimination"
consisting of three persons ap-
pointed by the governor, no more
than two of whom shall be from
one political party, and subject to
removal by the governor under
strict limitations. Board members

ROMAN HOLIDAY FOR

In one of the most spectacular
raids ever staged in Seattle, the

Paul Sylvester, arrested 80 or
more persons in the Old Rock.
ing Chair Club. ia 14th Ave. So,
early Sunday morning. The time
being propitious, it only remains
for the raiding officers to chose
one of the several spots where
Negroes congregate, to be assured
of full house Saturday nights
are. usually chosen by workmen
and women to while away their
idle time and at rest the day
following.
Sensing these facts, 1t is only
needed for the raiders to be
prepared to furnish the needed
transportation to haul the un-
willing crowds. being sure the
BLACK Maria" heads the parade,
and the booking office reiforced
to safe the watchful and curious
eyes of lookerson, to be assured
of a full house. The spectators
were given an eye full with fully
five hours of entertainment from
the opening of the show, 2:30
(CPT) to 7 A. M. (PST). Most
of the victims of the raid keep
opt.
Anyway the squad pulled off a
good show and the proceeds would
have made a fine contribution to
the MARCH OF DIMES and merit
return engagement. The raid
ers taxed 70 troopers $40 bucks
each, $4,000, four, $2500O, $1,000
90 and the remainder about 16,
$4,000 per, total $4,000, an ex-
pensive rendezvous with an ev-
ening of entertainment.
With the periodical raids by
officers whose future is aceentuat-
ed by their propensity to bright
en- their record for arrests, 1t
would be a good idea for women
and men workers seeking an hour
of entertainment, go home and go
to sleep little baby and ready

MARCH OF DIMES"

Once again 1t becomes the priv
ilege of every American to join ac-
lively in one of the great peace
time battles waged by Man in his
ceaseless struggle to make his world
better place in which to live.
This is the relentless battle
against infantile paralysis COM
mon enemy of all, regardless OF
age or accident of birth spear
headed by the annual March OF
Dimes, held this year from Jan.
uary 1880
Coming as it does, in the wake
of the second worst epidemic of
the disease ever to ravage the ma
ton, the 1947 March of Dimes de-
serves-and win undoubtedly re-
ceive--the fullest support of every
American who not only wants to
help those unable to help them
selves, but to insure for himself
and his family the best available
care If and when the dread Grip
pier strikes.
The National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, which sponsors
the March of Dimes, is unique in
the annals of public welfare organ
izations. 1t is literally the proper
ty of the American people who
support it with their dimes. 1t has
no others means for obtaining
funds such as endowments, be-
quests or grants. What it gets it
gets trough the March of Dimes
and though the March of Dimes
only.
Not only is the National Founda-
ton pledged to do its utmost
when epidemic-or even individual
cases-breaks out, but its ceas-
less research into the cause of
the disease is the only promise
We have that some day that
cause will be discovered and rem
dered harmless.
There are three things we know
with certainty. Polio will strike
again--where or when we do not
know. When 1t does strike the
community will be ready-the Ma
tional Foundation guarantees that.
And the National Foundation will
be ready because the Marcn oil
Dimes will see to that!
Give generously, give proudly
give thankfully-to the 1947 March
of Dimes.
