Everything in our society,"
motion pictures, newspapers,
magazines, and radio programs
= over-emphasize and over
stimulate the erotic side of life,
sensuality. Promiscuity is mis-
taken for virility, and celibacy
is regarded as an alteration.
Marriage is ruled out for
many either due to depressions,
wars, initiation, etc. Prostitution
is prescribed, yet all the media
for entertainment of our people
continue turning out produc-
tons which can inspire our
youth to look for nothing but
a red light.

What makes murder7
To the Editor:

Rev. Bush is quoted as say
ing that he "pitied" the Hart
mann boy who slew his wife.
I think there are a lot more
things that might be said.
Certainly the boy is a prod
uct of this age and society
which is much to be blamed.
Does not. society take teen age
boys and subject them to in
voluntary servitude in the
Army or Navy where they are
taught to hate and to kill their
fellow men and women, and
children too, in the most hid
eous and undiscriminatory FASH
ion?
With "a" Bombs is it any
wonder that human life is so
lightly valued?

hurled by individuals or groups
of workers against each other.
Sometimes it is innocently
done. Sometimes the intent is
to hurt the insulted to the quick;
ito put him in his place. as
it were.
Always it is divisive. Always
the unity of forces who have
only common interests and
need greater solidarity are
weakened. That strengthens
reaction.
Reaction has kept alive the
old insulting terms-the prod
ucts of slavery and of the days
of our industrial revolution
when thousands of Europeans
came here. 1t has coined new
insults for the Negro, Italian
and Jew, and continues this
vile practice using its sports
writers, novelists, and others,
who, however, never mean any
harm.

Always its "clean fun" is to
type the oppressed; to put them
at disadvantage, to show their
inherent inferiority and to ex-
alt the Aryan, Anglo-Saxon.
Miss Carr challenged this
concept of the harmless Jest.
Perhaps she should have gone a
bit further to show how white
workers discourage the support
and unity of Negroes for some
progressive program by their
use of the bosses devisive terms.
If the progressives are to be
united, a crusade against the
insulting jokes is in order. It

Test Case Stynied

Falrbanks-Harry k. Pratt, presiding judge of the 4th Divi- sion court, has sustained a gov ernment demurrer and given the city of Kodiak 30 days to amend a complaint in suit which st- tempted to give that city power to tax natives owning property in the city.
 Earl Cooper, assistant district attorney, represented the govern ment, and attorney Buell. Nes- bett, of Anchorage, represented the city of Kodiak.
 Judge Pratt ruled that "the court has no jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action"
 The suit was brought by Kod- iak in the name of Tom Nachand against Tom Parks, townsite trustee, and Secretary Krug of the Interior department. It was closely watched because of ter, ritioral wide implications.
 Nesbett sought to prove a Congressional act ubconstitutioR- al which prevents Kodiak from taxing natives owning property within the city. The act compels the natives to obtain consent from the Interior department when they want to sell their land, by insertion of restricted deed clause.
 Technically the suit was an to remove a cloud of title. Actually it was an attempt to prove the congressional act unconstitutional. Forty.eight Kodiak natives are now tax ex- empt.
 Cooper, in his arguments, said the United States government should have been made a defend ant in the suit Because the court ruled Tn Cooper's favor it will be impossible for Kodiak to bring the suit unless Congress passes law authorizing it to sue the federal government.
 A check of records shows that B deed held by Nachsud dates back to the Russian owne ship of Alaska. The original de, d to the property was sivred ty Prince Matsoukof, rei resentiBg Russia, in 1868.
 Nesbett declared that sluce he could trace the property back it should be recognized as private property and no restrictions ap- plled. The assistant district at- sorney claimed that the natives are wards of the government and therefore the government should be included in any such suit.
