ACLU Aide Lauds JACL-ADC Work


Editors Note: Mrs. Mary Al
Ice Baldinger. legislative repre-
sentative for the American Civil
Liberties Union. worked closely
with the Anti Discrimination
Committee during the first ses-
sion Of the s0th Congress TO ef-
feet passage Of remedial iegisla-
ton benefiting persons Of Japa-
nese ancestry. In the following
article, Mrs. Baldinger gives her
evaluation Of the present Con-
gress and Of the effectivness Of
the Anti Discrimination program.
BY Mary Alice Baldinger
From the point Of view Of civil
rights, the record of the 80th Con-
gress makes gloomy reading. It IS
an almost consistent story OF the
placating of big business, industry
and property. and the Ignoring OF
social end humanitarian legisla-
ton. One after another, bills de-
signed to protect, preserve and ex-
tend human rights and freedoms
we're buried In the files of indif-
ferent or unfriendly Congressional
committees. Anti-lynchng. anti-se-
gregation, nti-discrimination bills,
bills for better housing, better edl-
cation, better health and medical
care-not one of them got any
place.
BY comparison with what SUD-
porters OF these and similar mea-
sures were able to accomplish, the
legislative achievements Of the JA-
CT Anti-Discrimination Committee
stand out bright as a button. It's
progress was unequalled by any
other progressive or minority
group.
Racial restriction was eliminated
from the &C. I. Brides Bill" Three
bills of major importance to the
Japanese and Japanese-Americans
we're passed by the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes and will lie before the
Senate when 1t reconvenes next

the Attorney General power TO

BILE aliens on the same basis for

Directors OF the National ASSo-
ciatton of Broadcasters have post
poned adoption of the industry's
standard of practices for American
radio. When this news appeared
early last week 1t became the sub
ject Of much conversation in the
broadcasting business. Perhaps the
man in the street should have been
most interested for this action post
poned the effective date of some
new regulations governing radio
programs. This new code was in
dustry-inspired. It was not created
by Government agency or by a
pressure group. The code had many
provisions, including bans on dram
atization of political issues, on dou-
BILE Spotting, on material unsuitable
for reception in the home. The code
regulated crime" and horror"
stories, but its principal provision,
its heart and soul, was scale gov
erning the length of time in each
program that could be devoted to
commercial messages. On this the
code foundered.
The small broadcaster in the grass
roots of the Nation said simply that
he could not operate under such
provisions. 1t was either abide by
them and close up shop or ignore
them and invite the scorn of listen
ers. The large broadcaster in many
cases resented the fact that any
one would presume to regulate his
affairs. He felt that he was re-
sponsible to his audience and he
would accept the credit or blame.
Well-informed industry sources
feel that the resentment against the
code was not directed at the NAB
or at the regulations, but was rather
in the nature of a revolt by the in
dependent station operator against
dictation of terms by other members
Of the industry. The NAB felt that
it was entirely a matter for it's
members to decide and If the code
was not accepted by the stations
freely and willingly it could not be
enforced and hence was valueless.
The situation Is not at an i'm
passe. Some day there will be a
code regulating the broadcast in
dustry. The industry itself will Gre
ate it, adopt it, abide by it and the
audience will approve it. 1t is only
matter Of time and method.
Adoption of code of standards
would not in great measure affect
the radio audience in Washington
for here broadcasting is relatively
pure and clean. Practically all the
provisions of the NAB code are al
ready practiced in this area. There
are not many instances of really
serious commercial abuse on local
radio stations. In other parts of
the country that is not always the
case.

ENROUTE TO BARN FIRE

Word was telephoned to Milford
of the smash-up and the Milford
Memorial Hospital ambulance was
dispatched to the scene to bring
Jester to the hospital. While NOV
ing through city traffic on the way
to the accident, the ambulance
struck a car and suffered extern
sive damages to the rear right side,
but was able to continue on it's
way.
An early examination of Jester,
who for a number of years has
been active in Crystal Fount
Lodge No. 10, l. o. o. F., of Mil
ford, revealed a dislocated hip, a
broken collar bone and two frac-
tured ribs.
The damaged truck was brought
to Milford by a local towing COM
pany and fire company officials
were unable to give an estimate of
the damage incurred at press time.
Earlier in the evening and dur
ing the same electrical storm the
firemen were summoned to the
Lester Lovett home place, where
they found "hot" lightning had
struck the main chimney and ig-
nited a portion of the roof. Dam

COLT ADMITS BANK THEFT
OF $S5,991.2S BEFORE POLK


Mr.. Colt admitted, the FBI agents
said, that he obtained some of the
$95,991.23 by taking money from the
cash drawers of the bank used by
other tellers In removing the mon
ey he covered his action by also TAX
ing the deposit ticket which had
been accepted by the other tellers.
In thus mishandling accounts at
the bank, Mr. Colt embezzeled
sums ranging from $3.50 to more
than $1,000, the FBI declared.
The agents asserted he began his
embezzling about 1927 when he be-
gan to play the stock market. +"
Then lost the money in the market
and then made further embezzle-
ments to cover the prior shortages.
This continued periodically over the
years, ending in 1915 when the total
taken had amounted to $95,991.23,
the agents added.
Mr.. Colt was arrested last Mon
day by special agents of the FBI
upon, authority OF U. S. Attorney
John ]. Morris, Jr., based upon a
complaint and warrant obtained be-
fore Commissioner Polk. The ar
rested official was charged with vio-
lating the Federal Reserve Act in
taking money from the bank, which
is insured through the Federal De-
post Insurance Corporation.
The confession and the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Colt was also announc-
ed last Monday night by William X.
Patton, president of the bank, who
issued the following statement:
Zone OF our old and trusted en-
ployes, ,Hughlett A. Colt, last Mon
day resigned as assistant cashier OF
the Farmers Bank of the State OF
Delaware at Dover and then con-
fessed to the embezzlement of ap-
proximately $4,000 of the banks
funds. The shortage is adequately
covered by our blanket bond insur-
ance.
"The taking of funds covered a
long period and had its inception in
the late 1920's through stock market
speculations and losses. Mr.. Colt
has been with the Farmers Bank
for over rs years"
Mr.. Colt was confronted by spec
iaI agents of the FBI at the bank
last Monday when he returned from
his vacation. He readily admitted
his ENLIGHTENMENT, Mr.. Hallford re-
ported.
He added that Mr. Colt said that
in addition to losing some of the
money in the stock market, he spent
considerable amounts for family
purposes. These included repairs
to his home and the purchase of &
boat and an automobile
