National Forest
Returns $3O,268
To 80 Counties

The two national forests in Viz
ginia will return to the 80 coun-
ties in which they are located
S30,268.69. This represents Is per
cent of receipts from timber sales
and special use permits Oh the
1,401,158 acres of national forest
land for the year ending June 30,
1946. This payment will come out
Of a general warrant to the Com
monWealth from the federal
treasury. The payment will be
prorated among the counties in
which national forest land is To-
Gated on an acreage basis. Out OF
the total return to Virginia, the
Jefferson National Forests 576,-
TAO acres returned $14,878.5e.
Similar returns from national
forest receipts are paid to the
State each year in lieu of local
taxes under the basic National
Forest Acquisition Act, the Fed
eral Weeks Law, passed by Con-
gress in 1911. The funds will be
distributed by the state treasurer
to the counties on the basis indi-
Gated.
In addition to the direct re-
turn to the counties of S30,268.69
the U. S. Forest Service will
spend 312,l07.47 or anothes 1G
per cent of receipts locally ON
road and trail improvements.
This local expenditure is to i'm
prove forest roads and trails but
the work will employ local peo-
pie and these roads and trails
will meet public as well as ma
tional forest needs.
A large amount of the sales
business is in small quantities to
local operators, The timber and
products cut so to local mills and
plants. AS the timber grows, the
national forests will become an
increasingly important source of
raw materials for local consunp-
ton. The demand for sales Of
this type has exceeded the capa-
city of the local ranger force to
furnish the service required.
More intensive management Of
timber sources is required as
the timber grows in value. This
is an activity that pays its way
in the form of receipts to the
Treasurer of the U. S. plus re
turns to local communities.
Following are approximate fig
ures for the Clinch Ranger dis
trict:
Wise, $4,000 acres . s725,oo
Scott, 10000 acres - 772.OO
Lee, $500 acres ... 2l2.00

a series of historical reports put out
by the Historical Division of the
War Department, was put on sale at

Hoe was four miles west of Omaha

heavily fortified German coastal de-
fense in France. It's seizure was a
major factor in the SUCCESS of the
Normandy landings.
The second report is the story of
the 9th Division at Tanapag Plain
on Saipan. The attack of the 35lst
regiment on Santa Maria Infante.
Italy, which marked the opening of
the Allied offensive toward Rome Is
the third narrative, and the final

Legion Paper Gives
Practical Lesson
In Democracy

Maybe this is a story Of democ-
racy, or maybe it is just another
story of job hunting adventure.
Mrs. Edith Williams Nash, 316 St.
Anthony, saw an advertisement in
the American Legion Weekly,
stating that State Headquarters
needed a typist.
She called the office and asked
for the job. When she suggest
ed that she was colored, Office
Manager Brandenberg suggested
that she come in and talk it over.
When she arrived there he
preached her a sermon, in a few
words. "The American Legion
has preached tolerance and de-
mocracy for over 90 years, and
this would be a poor time to start
failing to practice it. II you can
do the job, your color will not pre-
vent you, but if you can't, your
color won't save you. There's your
office" Mrs. Williams has ap-
parently made good on the job.

commitments made to families of
veterans who are buried in National
cemeteries!
Smith Doesn't Understand
When asked what was meant by
commitments to families, Chairman
Smith stated that he did not I'M
derstand how any commitment
could be made to a family that
would affect n National cemetery
burial plot, as only veterans and
their wives are permitted burial in
such cemeteries. According to
Public Relations Chairman Peery,
it is just the same old justification
Of segregation after the famous
liberal and democratic souls are
cornered. Those segregated burial
plots out at Fort Smelling are large
enough to accommodate all Of the
Negro soldier dead Of World War
III.
Mr.. Ball stated that the War De-
partment cannot nullify its moral
obligations" made previously. This
may be so but the War Department
certainly is multiplying not only the
Constitution Of the United States,
and the laws of decency, it is pre-
venting the notification Of an an
cient and very southern belief that
Negroes should be happy for the
privilege Of dying to defend race
hatred and bigotry.
Senator Ball surely has queer
ideas Of moral obligation when he
washes his hands of a matter Of
that naturel
Plans to make further protest
against continued insult to hero
dead are being studied by the vet
Grams committee.

Protests to Senators Edward

test was made, he was reported in

the floor.
The Mayors Council on Human
Relations took cognizance of the
situation and urged favorable con-
sideration of the application be-
cause of the racial implications.
Alderman Harry Burgum, out
spoken 18th ward alderman, told the
press Buckley is evidently trying
to carry on his collection business
in the city council"
Monday after the see-saw in the
press, Cassius, accompanied by his
attorney, Raymond W. Cannon, and
two other interested citizens went
to the office of the city license
bureau and filed his application
without Buckley's signature.
Henry Bank, alderman from the
Fifth ward, had previously told
this newspaper that it was not
necessary to have even one sigma
ture to get the license before the
health and hospitals committee,
which has jurisdiction over hear
ings on licenses.
The next day Police Captain
Frank Hickman of the Minnehaha
station who was night captain at
police headquarters ain the good
old days before Humphrey" filed
for the license. He had both alder
mems signatures and he said he
had promised to buy Fabel's bar for
less than $4,000.
Tuesday a delegation of citizens
called on Mayor Hubert H. Hum
phrey, who is reported to be favor
able to the Cassius application, and
critical of the custom of forcing
applicants to buy unwanted fix
lures. However, the mayor has NO
jurisdiction in the licensing field
and has held himself from liquor
license controversies.
Humphrey some time ago offered
suggested ordinance which would
have changed licensing procedure
in the council, making instances
such as the present case impossible.
Four other persons have an
nounced their intentions of filing
for the lone license. The health and
hospitals committee is scheduled to
meet Monday. July 81, at 10 a. m.
A large group is expected to ap-
pear at the hearings in view of the
wide interest caused by the case.
Time Of the committee hearings
may be checked by calling the city
