bership.
AT this moment, | have on my
desk a matter in which | sincerely
believe that the sole protection Of
some 800 colored employees Of a
large plant is the fact that their
bargaining representatives have
negotiated successfully a union
shop agreement with the employer.
Now that there are white workers
available in the labor market, this
employer gives evidence of seeking
to displace the colored employees
in the better jobs with non-uniOn
individuals. II your bill to outlaw
the closed shop became law, it
would place every one Of these per-
sons in jeopardy.
"The arguments Of Southern
Senators that the closed shop is
discriminatory will have no weight
with minority groups, because
these legislators have advanced
every type Of specious argument to
defeat measures which would bene-
fit wage earners in general and
also minority groups. 1t is impOs-
sible to forget the cynical manner
in which one Of these men on the
floor Of the Senate, during the last
session, referred to the Minimum
Wage Bill and the FEPC proposal
as the Gold Dust Twins One.
said he, tells you who TO hire and
the other tells you how much you
have to pay them
"Those persons who have so
consistently and vigorously OPP
posed FEPC legislation will joy
fully support the anti-closed shop
bill in an attempt to divide labor
and minorities, thereby greatly
damaging the interests Of both"

Expert Advises DOT
As Mosquito Killer

8 The mosquito serenade is back
again. Washington families who
don't like this brand of music
can get some DOT, and spray.
And here's directions for deal
ing out the spray where it'll do
the most good-or the most harm,
at least as far as the mosquitoes
are concerned. They're passed a.
long by David Brannon, extension
entomolgist of the State College
of Washington. - s... T..
Get off to good start by using
the right kind of spray materials.
You'll need two different kinds.
For spraying inside the house
use per cent DOT in deod0rized
kerosene. You'll need another
spray for the outside, so get the
Off that. And in mixing the spray,
spray use 1-3 pound Of DOT to
one gallon of water.
When you spray inside your
house, be sure to hit all the spots
so per cent wet-table-type DOT
where mosquitoes may be hiding.
Spray screens, window sills, dark
corners, under and behind furni-
ture, and in all closets of course.
The spray will leave a deposit
wherever it hits, SO it will con-
tinue to give effective control for
month. Before spraying inside
the house, remember to see that
all food is covered, also all flow
ers. And-take out the goldfish
and pets. The S per cent DOT in

Another of the many handy,
labor-saving gadgets built by
Washington farmers is an "ele-
vator" used either for loading
or stacking baled hay or straw
and other farm produce.
r. N. Miller, extension agri-
cultural engineering at the state
college, first got the idea of this
homemade device from the
Washington State College farm,
where the elevator had been in
use for several years. Miller
made the "plan" for the elevator,
and this plan may be obtained
free from your county extension
agent. - ......s..... -. 4 81
"Any farmer can make one of
these machines for considerably
less than he would have to pay
for a neutrality-suspicious.
ed elevator" said Miller. 49,
Here's How Il Works -...s "a.
"The farmer who uses this
machine can also easily load bal
ed hay or straw from the field
by replacing the front wheels
with tongue and attaching as
a trailer on his truck. He can
also elevate baled, sacked, or
boxed farm produce to the loft

of q building. The elevator can
be easily raised or lowered, per-
hitting the material to be stacked
at ground level or as high as Is
feet above the ground or higher.
Use Scrap Material 81.
Most of the material needed
to build one of these elevators
can be salvaged from an old COM
bine or other discarded farm
machinery. Miller recommends
a one hip. gas engine for power
ing the machine, but says a Y
HIP. electric motor, is fine for
stationary jobs and a power take
off of a truck or tractor, may
be used in some cases when load
ing from the field.

deodorized kerosene will not stain
wallpaper, curtains or rugs if you
use a highgrade spray. Check the
label for the statement-"will not
STAIN"
Get rid of the mosquitoes a
round the house and in the yard
by spraying all porches, flower
gardens and shrubbedy, trees
wherever you can. Use the wet
table-type DOT for this. =
Give the yard a good once over
for possible breeding spots. Drain
puddles and turn tin cans and
tire castings so water can't collect
in them. If there are any small
streams around, clear out the
channel to keep the water flowing
freely.
Protection just within the house
and yard isn't enough. The wind
can carry mosquitoes for distance
of 20 miles or more. So check
the whole farm for possible breed
ing places.
Large puddles that can't be
drained can be sprayed with 5
per cent DOT in diesel oil. Use
one or two quarts to the acre OF
surface. Small ponds not used for
watering purposes-and which
have no fish in them-can be
sprayed. Usually only the shore
line need be sprayed. Before
spraying, however, check for the
presence Of wigglers. If the season
is somewhat advanced, the adult
mosquitoes may have already
emerged. In. that case, spraying
will do no good. s>~-...
To keep mosquitoes at bay on
'picnics, Brannon suggest the use
of a repellent-such as Rutgers
612-rubbed on the exposed skin.
Such solutions can usually be
bought at the local drug store.
On camping trip a DOT aero
sol bomb will keep the tent free
of mosquitoes. Just release the
pressure guage frequently and
let the DOT "gas" out into the
tent. A fisherman in a canoe will
probably have to depend on a
good strong pipe or cigar to keep
mosquitoes aWay-Or repellent
like Rutgers 612, Brannon said.

The guests of the tour were the
Chamber of Commerce Of Pr0sser.
We left Prossr at 8 o'clock and
made our first call at Balcom and
Noes large potato farm. Balloon
and Moe are operating $40 acres
of land on the RoZa. We had an
opportunity to see the manner IN
which the early potatoes are be-
ing harvested. The group was m
formed that the yield was esd
mated at 16 ton per acre, and that
the price would be about $1,000
per ton average.
Our second stop was at Oscar
Schwartzman farm. Oscar has an
8O-acre farm, and is principally
engaged in the production of al
falfa hay, which in time will be
used for feeding his dairy herd.
He also explained to the group
that. it was his plan to maintain
an economical dairy and at the
same time provide his family with
a permanent home for years to
come. ,",......
Our next stop was at the Elvin
Mckenzie farm. Elvin has very
diversified farms and at the pres
ent time is producing peas, corn,
alfalfa and beans. Elvin gave the
group very good outline of his
farming operation, and he also in
formed the group of the many
hardships that the Roza farmers
incurred before results were OBJ
| tanned.
We also called upon Stanley
Buchshardt, and here we had a
splendid opportunity to see the
beginning of a high producing
dairy herd. At the present time
Stanley has herd of Holstein
cows that are averaging 400 lbs.
of butterfat per year. He has been
able to develop his farm into a
vry productive one and within the
very near future Stanley will be
one of the most outstanding dairy
men of his area.
By this time 1t was time to eat,
and the group had a very fine
lunch at the Prosser park which
was prepared by Loretta V. Crow
den, the Home Demonstration
Agent, and served by the East

Broder, one of the most outstand-

popular, weak or defenseiess
groups are most apt to suffer"
from the heavy hand of police
brutality.
ANOTHER NOTE of warning
by the committee touched ON
the current hysteria about
Communists and communism.
The report went back to JEFF
ferson and the late Justice
Brandeis and Justice Holmes to
cite rules for the exercise off
calmneSs and good judgment in
times of great feeling.
II then observed that IF is
our feeling that the present
threat TO freedom of opinion
grows out of the failure of
some private and public person
TO apply these standards. Spe-
officially. public excitement
about Communist has gone
far beyond the dictates of the
good judgment and 'calmness'
of which Holmes and Brandeis
spoke. A state of near -hysteria
now threatens to inhibit the
freedom of genuine democrats"
This section contains a mild
rebuke to the House un-Amer-
lean committee.
Here are the goals the COM
nittee sets:
A stronger civil rights sec
ton in the Dept. of Justice to
defend persons whose rights
are denied and prosecute those
responsible; enact laws to curb
police brutality; adopt an anti
lynching statute; set up a strong
FEPC; abolish the poll tax, and
all discriminatory practices in
the armed forces and in gov
eminent and private employ
ment; tighten up on lobbyists
and amend the loyalty" order
so as to maintain civil rights
of workers.

Although many Americans are
aware that the nation has fall
en- short of its heritage of lib
erty, the heavy underscoring
of this failure by the Presi-
dents Committee ON Civil
Rights has broadcast it to every
citizen with official sanction.
The commission points out
that in the 1914 presidential
election only 1881 per cent of
the potential voters in eight
southern states cast ballots,
While in 40 non-poll tax states,
68.74 per cent of the potential
voters exercised the franchise.
The commission correctly
charges the tax limits white
as well as Negro suffrage" but
that it has frequently IAN UNI
equal racial effect" and has
''been very effective as an anti
Negro device"
TOUCHING the ensitive
problem of police brutality, the
commission bares another issue
not often discussed in polite
company"
The report charges that there
are widespread and varied
forms OF official misconduct"
including violent physical at
lacks by police officers ON
members of minority groups,
the use of third degree methods
to extort confessions, and bru-
taiity against prisoners"
Where "lawless police forces
exist, their activities may i'm
pair the civil rights of any citi-
zen. In one place the brunt
of illegal police activity may
fall on suspected Migrants, in
another on union organizers,
