49, ~ wv 'NhN'SN vi bothe OF our readers
The restrictive covenant rage in
local real estate and housing has
built up almost unsurmountable
barriers for Negroes who want to
purchase homes. No matter how
many dwellings, are for rent to
whites, Negroes are not accepted
as tenants even up here in our
free Minnesota. We are very GER
tain that the 1913 Negro families
residing in the Sumner Field homes
would not, even today, have good
housing If the government had not
provided it. This is the reason all
of the caterwauling done about low
cost housing for low income groups
by outfits like the Minneapolis
Property Owners Association and
some real estate firms, leaves US
completely unmoved. None of these
interests are concerned with Negro
citizens need for decent housing
and few are interested in good hous-
ing for any low income group,
white or black.

NLRB Dismisses
Election Briefs

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (LPA)
Tho NLRB, complying with
the requirements of the Taft
Hartley law, last week dismissed
petitions for collective bargain
ing elections covering a total OF
more than 5000 workers because
the unions involved had not filed
registration and anti c o m
munist disclaimers.
Besides one election requested
by the United Construction Work
ers, whose parent body, the
United Mine Workers-AFL has
not complied, and-a small lnde,
pendent union in Michigan, all
elections cancelled involved ClO
affiliates' petitions. More than
825 workers in two plants where
the United SteelworkerS had petl'
toned for elections were affect
ed; more than 730 workers in es-
adjustments organized by the
Retail, Wholesale & Dept. Store
Employes.CIO were covered by
dismissed petitions.

it was sure to get home. Maybe
he don't trust himself with it,
how about it Al Pfleger?

Lester of the paint shop, who
was seen coming to work Sunday
which he thought was Monday.
Some people sure try to play
all pig, we mean in the parking
lot. They still hate to give their
fellow workers room to park.
They park at such an angle they
take up two spaces.
One fellow from Inspection
loves to see himlself so often he
still carries his old badge with
him. Come Bill they went out
with the war.
It's getting pretty bad whdA
one of the Oldest men in the shop
has to bring his foreman some
cigars. We wonder if they were
any good.
Seems some fellow doesn't
even get to walk out with his
check on Fridays. His wife is al
ways waiting by the back fence
for it. He doesn't even get a
good look at it. Maybe you
should get off the Automatic
Screw Machine Gean, so she
won't see you get it.

The
.Acklinite
By Martin Bachli

Red Levo went hunting last
week. He had good luck bag
ging twelve rabbits and three
birds. We also discovered an
other party who was supposed
to be sick who was really coon
hunting.
Latest betting device at the
shop is the coke machine. The
bet is which hole will the coke
come out of, loser pays for the
coke.
We find the most versatile
worker at the shop is Gerald
Miller. Besides repairing and
painting cars, he also manu-
facturefs bleach, raises rabbits
and golden hamnsters, sells real
estate and does a little baby
sitting on the side.
The last week really saw a
male fashion parade at the shop.
Andy Gump led with a wool
black and white check shirt
with cap to match, and Joe
Dominiak wearing bright red
suspenders, while "Shirtail"
brought up the rear wearing
royal purple jeans. Boy what
colors!
We extend our deepest SYM
pathy TO Al and Ray Mertz who
lost their father and to Norman
Jagusch who lost his mother.

Three Point Denial
1.-THE International Associa-
ton of Machinists, with which
the company signed a new con-
tract last spring after the CIO
had petitioned for a Labor
Board election, has never been
certified in the plant. 1t was
first recognized in 1941 after a
consent election by the NLRB
regional director, and the cleo

2-Results of the 1941 cleo
ton are obsolete after the g.
year interval, particularly in
view of the USA-CIO's 903-464
victory in an NLRB election
August 21, the day before major
sections of the Taft Hartley Act
came into effect.
3-The NLRB, by ordering
the election in August, held in
effect that there is no binding
certification of the lam, and
that a legal question did exist as

MISLEADING PREDICTIONS
Washington correspondents have

that Federal reports on farm crops

harm to recall that news reports in
early September featured in all the
metropolitan newspapers indicated
failure of the Nations corn crop.
The Department of Agriculture
reported in the last part of Septem-
ber that lover half of the corn
acreage in II Corn Belt States is
safe from frost and that the corn
crop is now considered to be ma
ture, with AVERAGE production

Washington Letter
THE PRICE OF LIBERTY
]. Z. Jones

Washington, d. C. September
David E. Lilienthal, Chairman of
the Atomic Energy Commission,
said, few days ago, that the AM
erican scheme will be lost unless
private citizens exert wide-awake
Democratic control over the sweep
ing changes which new scientific
discoveries bring. "We should
make sure the changes will be fitted
to the American way of doing
things" because Atomic energy
and scientific discoveries have not
and need not change the fundamen-
tai principles of Democracy"
Lilienthal suggests that every
community should debate the ques-
ton of whether a particular pro-
posal of international control Of
atomic energy is workable or an
ineffective ''fraud upon the people. /"
He seems to place the accent on
fraud"
Lilienthal is as safe man as
there is to be found in the Govern
ment That is why he was chosen in
the Senate to the place he occupies.
/ Now, he warns the PUBLIC to beware
1 lest "schemers or fools or rascals or
hysterical stuffed shirts get this
thing out of your hands" That
warning should convince some OF
cur optimistic statesmen that is
is time to let up on discussing the
atomic bomb as an international
plaything.
Time and again this correspon-
dence has indicated that the best
authorities in the land have stead
fastly supported the American plan
of Government to maintain the
peace at home and restore it, il
/ possible, to the rest of the world
This principle seems satisfactory
to everybody except the black
hearted Soviet Government that in
sists on being left in on atomic
secrets-which is none of their darr
business.
Believe it, or not: There will b'
no war with Russia as long as We
keep in step with our own Atomic

man Lilienthal warns will b'
lost unless America denies to al
the World any part of control o
