this; I'm going to have a warrant
sworn cut for your arrest, Hawk
ms. I'll nail you for assault and

to have a kidnapping charge
tackled on it."

good idea to move slowly" said
O'Reilly with a mock gentleness
II think I know a couple of rea-
sons why you might not care to
press those charges"
mot press them?" echoed Daw-
son contemptuously. why. I'll
push them to the limit"
"That's interesting" O'Reilly
remarked coolly. "But I think ]
ought to point out a few primary
facts. First of all, you're in this
gambling racket up to your neck.
that's a lie!"
"No vehement denials, please
O'Reilly said. 1.-THE police got
hold of a few books in the raid
tonight that might clear things
up. You're on them for unpaid
losses of about $4,000. 1t might
be interesting for the boss to
know about that-eSpecially since
he's dead set against gambling
for high stakes when you're work
ing here"
|DAWSON lost all his belliger-
Il ence. Without another word
he stalked past O'Reilly, Hawkins
and Jean, heading back toward
his desk.
Il don't think we'll hear
any more about those charges,
|O'Reilly said, grinning slightly
Jean did not see the stories Of
the raids in the newspapers until
late that night. when she awoke
after a long. dreamless sleep
When she went to work. it seemed
that everyone on the bus was
reading the account of the raids
and the police department up

There was a note for her in the
office mail basket when she ar
rived. Signed by Howard AFTER,
it read:

Italian Monarchisis
Hopeful in Sicily Vote
Nv The Associated Press

PALERMO, Sicily. April 19-Sic-
| ily, best hope of Italy's monarchists
votes tomorrow for its first legis-
lative assembly to be elected under
the regional as'tonomu that was
granted last year to spike CAM
paign for separation OF the island
from Italy.
The first issue is how soon and
how completely should the large
landed property system with its
sharp class distinctions be broken
up. The left has charged in the
campaign that the baronial system
has been tinged lately with a re-
birth OF Malta activity.
A second question Is whether the
peasantry will heed the claims OF
Communists that they alone car
better the Sicilian's lot. If the vote
discloses that the peasants love fol-
| kings is still unshaken, monarchists
who have not been reconciled to the
Italy y-wide plebiscite last year which
| turned out the House of Savoy, may
| try to make the island a stepping
stone for exiled King Umberto to
return to the throne.
None of the campaign orators,
however, has answered the major
question of how to get enough to
eat and pay for it. For that reason
the voters are apathetic. BY a 1916
law voting is obligatory, but OBJ
servers estimate that 40 per cent of
2,500,G00 voters nevertheless will
stay away from the polls or deposit
unmarked ballots.

PILOT 10 Jam Cyprus
With Refugees at Time
|0f U. n. Farley Seen
i Nv The Assoeiaied Press


JERUSALEM, April 19.-Jewish
quarters said today the underground
resistance movement was planning
IA spring offensive designed to flood
| the Cyprus detention camps with
| irregular immigrants and embarrass
the British while the Palestine case
| is being heard before the United
Nations Assembly.
Hagana, moderate underground
group which specializes in bringing
immigrants into Palestine despite
British regulations, was said by one
informant to have program of
bringing about 5000 immigrants a
month to the shores of the Holy
Land "if the flow of ships and
money can be sustained"
British sources admitted it was
Conceivable that the Cyprus camps
would be filled within six weeks" if
Hagana could put one intercepted
shipload week onto Palestine's
shores from over the long and dam
gerous underground railway and sea
route from Europe.
1900 Already in Camps.
1.-THE British thought taking
illegal immigrants to Cyprus, thus
demonstrating that they would not
be permitted to stay in Palestine,
even in detention camps, would put
stop to the Illegal ships" one
Jewish source commented. "But
Hagana. is out to show that that
theory is false
The British source declined to
speculate where immigrants would
be held if the Cyprus camps were
filled. Jewish quarters said they
might be sent to Cirenaica in North
Africa or Kenya in East Africa.
Jewish quarters said Caraolos and
other Cyprus camps already were
holding 10000 and could take only
about 5000 more.
Jewish sources said a schooner
which left Marseille fortnight ago
with 800 Jews was believed nearing
this country.
Tension Continues High.
Tension continued to blanket this
land and Cyprus following the We'd
nesday execution of Dov Bella Cru
ner and three other members of
Irgun Zvai Leumi on terrorist
charges.
A communique from Cyprus said
Jews detained in the Caraolos camp
tried to burn down three main gates
of the camp today and staged other
sporadic incidents in a continued
demonstration demanding that more
of their number be transferred to
Palestine. One Jew was killed and
six wounded yesterday in demon
stration and hunger strike.
Two loud explosions, explained by
the British as the precautionary fir
ing of depth charges against Frog
men" who might attempt to attach
mines to ships in the harbor, were
heard at Haifa tonight.
The British continued strict Sc
curity measures despite the appar-
ent cessation on the Jewish sabbath
of series of terrorist incidents yes
terday in which two persons were
killed and five injured.

that comes from the exercise

that comes from the exercise of
physical strength.
But when all this is said, we are
still left with the basic problem Of
prejudice and discrimination which
has such wide ramifications that it
cannot be solved with the fist
Millions of Americans find them
selves handicapped, virtually citi-
zens Of the secOnd-class, when it
comes to employment, schools, or
residence. Discrimination, practiced
subtly and usually with surface
pOliteness, is not eliminated by pro-
test or with violence. Feelings Of
bias and hate are too deeply rooted
and irrationally motivated to be
solved by the simple exercise of the
muscle.
The whole matter Of diScrimina-
ton and race hate, which victim
ICES no less and probably more than
one-fourth of our Nation, is one
that the United States will have
to solve in this century or it will
not survive as a major power. In
no other great Western country do
we see the terrible phenomenon of
citizens hating citizens because of
his or her color, faith, or origin;
probably no other important nation
harbOrs so many psychOlogically
damaged and mutually hating peo-
pie as we do. In many ways we
are sitting on a volcano.
What we need is really effective
FEPCs, nationwide community eff
forts in eradication Of prejudice
and discrimination, and education
in democratic behavior We must
put up a tremendous fight for Wig
orous protection Of the Constitu-
tiOnal freedoms and vigorous en-
fOrCement Of the laws to punish Of
lenses, verbal or active, that are
perpetrated against any American
regardless of his skin, parenthood
or notions Of God. 1t is only when
we have cleansed our own hearts
of hate and bias that we will have
the vigor and moral right to preach
democracy to the world. In the
meantime, we have Frank Sinatra,
for which: Amen.

column of letters to the editor a
letter written by former service
man of World Wars | and II con-
corning the Jim Growing Of the

Labor Departments USES Had
Poor Race Record Under u. S.
Direction. Louis Lautier Says

The Women's Bureau in the La
Dor department is engaged in a
study of employment opportunitiea
for women. Its appropriation was
also cut by the House from $3O3,6OO
TO 1868, 900. Miss Frieda S. Miller
director of the Women's Bureau,
has asked the Senate Labor-Fed-
eral Security appropriations sub
committee TO restore the cut Of
$4,000.
That bureau has not a single col
ored woman employed in a pro
fessional capacity, and restoration
Of the cut will not cause a single
colored woman to be employed on
a professional level.
There are other examples of dis
criminatory practices throughout
the Labor department. But the ones
cited will suffice to prove that no
colored person need work himself
into a frenzy over the cuts made
by the House in Labor department
appropriations.

MINI. Legislature Hos Grand Opportunity

FEPC bill it should recognize that
by his action he has indicated great
courage and the intestinal fortitude
which characterizes real leader
and statesman.
The FEPC in Minnesota is not
a political sop to so-called minority
groups because those who suffer
most from unfair employment
practices do not WELD large poll
teal power. No one can say that
Youngdahl is playing for votes be-
cause the people he seeks to pro-
tect have few votes in our state.
Governor Youngdahl and the men
who sponsored that bin know that
human relations are the keystones
to peace, amity and unity in our
state and country.

Only recently has the Church,
the other most influential factor in
the life and welfare Of American
Negroes. begun to show signs of
an interest in how its constituents
live as well as the conditions under
which they die.

The Minnesota legislature has
an opportunity to join the ranks
Of state lawmakers Of four other
states who have had the courage
to pass fair employment practices
legislation. II the House of Repre-
sentatives forces the labor commit
tee to bring the F.E.P.C. measure
out on the floor it has a good
chance Of passage because most Of
Minnesota's Legislators, senators
and representatives know that the
principles Of the measure are right
and proper. The Senate labor COM
mittee has already voted favorably
on the measure.
II the legislature is disturbed
because Governor Luther Young
dahl has vigorously supported the
