nakrenilo njegov genij v izumi-

BY the Associated Press

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 4.-Dwight D.
Eisenhower, General of the Armies
and Chief of Staff, became just
Ike, the fisherman, for a month in
this South Florida vacationland as
he shook off the effects of bursitis.
"I've improved wonderfully" he
said as the last week of his first
real vacation in 10 years arrived.
He leaves next Saturday for Wash
ington.
The general has been "patient"
since December 8 at the Army's
Pratt General Hospital in suburban
Coral Gables, where his aching
shoulder received expert care. But
doctors had a time keeping up with
him.
For when he walked out of the
big hospital door, all formality was
swept away. He became just Ike.
Deep, in the, Everglades, he OBJ
served little thatched Indian huts
and asked his fishing guides: How
do these folk make out, away out
here?" he listened patiently to
the ways of the Seminoles.
At Blackwater Sound, he trolled
for hours in tiny motor boat, pants
rolled up, long-billed cap askew
on his head, a grin YARD broad
on his face as fish snapped at his
lures.
He was out on boat too small
to carry a radio when a report
was published that he was willing
to be a presidential candidate. The
world waited for, hours until he
put in at Everglades City before
hearing him say he was soldier
and that he instantly refused" to
consider such contingency when
his name was mentioned in con-
nection with politics.
He fished ins the Gulf Stream
and nearly every other stream big
enough to wet line.
With his intimates, Ike OCCASION
ally employed the colorful language
of a top sergeant. But when ad-

unlimbered his fishing tackle and

Having been connected with the
air service himself, Mr.. Goldwater
said he had taken special notice
of the fine record made by the

NEWSpRINT TRUST
UNDER SCRUTINY

WASHINGTON, April 3.-(FP)
Charges of price fixing and con-
spiracy to restrict production of
scarce newsprint are set for fed
eral grand jury investigation in
New York City following months
of checking by the FBI.
Subpoenas have been served
newsprint companies in New York
and the grand jury is ready.
Sen. Lister Hill (D-Ala.) re-
vealed the first facts Of the story
when he made public a letter from
Wendell Berge, former assistant
attorney general in charge of anti
trust violations.
Writing to Hill in reply to a
communication, Berge said:
"For the past several months we
have been investigating complaints
of a conspiracy among newsprint
manufacturers operating in Can
ada to restrain trade into the u. S.
These manufacturers, including
subsidiaries of American firms, sup
ply approximately 80 per cent of
the U. S. newsprint demand.
"The complainants have alleged
that this conspiracy restricts pro-
duction, fixes prices on exports to
the U. S. and allocates the available
supplies to favored newspaper pub
fishers. The FBI has been con-
Quoting the investigation to date,
but we expect in the near future
to proceed further by means OF
grand jury Subpoenas."

Political Outlook For
NEGROES In 1913

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Ne
gro vote in the coming 1913 cleo
tions will be a bread-and-butter
vote, declared Florence Murray
editor of the 1946-47 Negro Hand
book, in speech on "The Politi-
cal Outlook of the Negro in the
1948 Elections" at Goodwill Bap-
tist Church here Friday night. Miss
Murray was presented by the Co.
operative BookShop.
while the Negro is strong for
his civil rights, like white voters,
he realizes that the vital necessi-
ties of life come first" Miss Muir
ray said.
Recounting the trend of the Ne
gro vote during the past four ad-
ninistrationS, she pointed to the
fact that despite the high-sound-
ing promises of the Republican
party to WOO back the Negro vote
in 1914, the preponderance of the
voters of this group stuck with
the Democratic party.
"The sore spots in the Negro's
life-lack of an FEPC, an effec-
tive civil rights law, and price con-
trol-have not been removed by
the Republican dominated 80th
Congress up to this time," she said,
"and we see no strides made in
this direction"
Miss Murray gave a detailed ac-
count of the progress made at the
polls in the South since the Texas
Primary Decision in May, 1914, and
the revival of white primary laws
in South Carolina, Georgia, Missis-
sippi and Arkansas, cast in differ
ent forms to offset the effect OF
the Supreme Courts ruling.
One of the most dangerous OBJ
stacles to Negro suffrage is the
Boswell amendment adopted by
Alabama last year, the speaker as
serted. This act, which requires
the voter to understand and in
terpret any section of the States
constitution, is revival of the old
"lieracy and Interpretation" tests
used Immediately following the
Reconstruction period.
If the Boswell amendment is per-
mitted to stand up in Alabama, the
gains made by the Negro at the
polls in the South could be nulli-
fled by similar action in other
states, she pointed out, and urged
that the procedure in Alabama
bear close watching.

Big Hotel And
OPA Director
Make Deal

State Senator Marvin Smith and
his Property Owners Association
charged the Hotel Westward Ho
with making deal in 1943 with
the District OPA office-or, more
specifica1 with Rent Director Geo.
E. Liley by which the hotel in
creased it's take by $472,00O while
other hotels were taking reduc-
tons.
Mr.. Wayland, president of the
hotel, declared that the whole
business was pack of lies and that
the hotel was as pure as the driven
snow.
The Property Owners Association
brought forward what it claimed
were photostat copies of letters and
records that would indicate that
Lilley had given Wayland the
green light on rent boosts for LAT
rooms at the hotel. Some of the
raises were from 200 to 300 per
cent and the sum total of the take,
since the boost granted by Lilley
amounted to nearly half a million
dollars.
This took place, charges Smith,
while other landlords were being
held to a minimum or were taking
rate reductions.
Both Wayland and Lilley said
that federal investigators had been
in Phoenix last year checking on
the hotel and hadn't found any
thing at that time.
According to the charges leveled
at the hotel and its management,
Wayland presented a petition to
Lilley enclosing a list of hotel num-
bers-scattered higgly-jiggly, with
out Sequence-and asking a rent
boost for them.
The findings made by Lilley were
given in an order which he then is
sued.
Here's the order:

GIs HAVE ten FAvORITE subjects IN
OVERSEAS ARMY EDUCATION (ENTERS

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The in
Information and Education Divi.
sion of the War Department re-
Gently published a list of the ten
most popular subjects selected for
study by soldiers in overseas Army
Education Centers. The ten sub
jects chosen in the theaterS list
ed below were selected from a list
of 43O courses offered to overseas
troops under the Army Education
Program.
The order of courses listed as
favorite in the three theaterS in
which Negro troops are serving in
appreciable numbers is as follows:
European: German, Music, Pho
Biography, Radio, Typing, Literacy
Training, Aviation, Auto Mechan-
les, Russian, French.
Pacific: Typing, Japanese, Pho
Biography, Auto Mechanics, Radio
Algebra, Psychology, Literacy
Training, Cooking and Baking,
Spanish.
Alaska: Mining, Typing, Photog-
raphy, Blueprint Reading, Music,
Spanish, Welding, Algebra, Sociol-
ogy, Bookkeeping.
Typing courses and photography
were favored by GIs in all three
theaters. Troops in Europe, the
Pacific and Alaska selected key
board-training in fifth, first and
second choices respectively. Pho
Biography was the third choice of
all three theaters. Courses in mu-
sic, radio and auto mechanics were
among the top ten choices of GIs
in two of the three theaters listed.
Indicative of the American SOL
dier's utilization of the Education
Program to satisfy the need of the
moment are choices peculiar to the
Zone of Occupation in which the
soldier student found himself at the
time of training. The European
Theater CT showed a preference
for German, Russian and French,
all continental languages. The Pa
cific based CT alone listed Spanish
among his first ten favorite sub
jects and troops in Alaska showed
a unique preference for Mining.

LOS ANGELES. - "Anna Lucas
to-" the hit play originally present
ed by Harlem's American Negro
Theater, opened it's second Los An

laSco theater.
The present production is a
Broadway adaptation rewritten
from the original Philip Yordan

a prostitute, Anna, who returns to

Telephone
Workers On
Picket Lines

The Telephone Workers strike
came off according to schedule and
the. five downtown offices of the
company in Phoenix were behind
picket lines this week.
Some of the more experienced
pickets-the Culinary picketS, for
instance-could have told some of
the Hello Girls" on the lines that
jitterbugging on picket line isn't
exactly according to Hoyle, but the
lines were so effective that the
pickets could have been turning
cartwheels and have gotten the
same results.
Strike headquarters were set up
in the basement of the AFL build
ing at 300 West Washington and
are being kept open on a round
the-clock schedule. Since the ne
gotiations were being carried on
on national scale-the union said
that they would be and the COM
pany said that it would be damned
if that was so-there was little for
the Arizona telephone workers to
do besides hold the line.
According to H. T. Murphy, who
is acting as strike coordinator for
the CTS members affected in the
Phoenix area, the strike here is
like Ivory Soap-it's 99.9 per cent
pure. Only three workers crossed
the picket lines to maintain service.
Five locals are involved in the
strike in Arizona, three of them
within the Mountain States Plant
and Construction Workers. The
American Union of Telephone
Workers-long lines, lie. long dis
tance-and the Traffic Workers.
Nationally, the Federation of
Telephone Workers embraces 49
different unions with a member
ship of $4,000.
n The American Federation of La
Dor has pledged full support on a
national basis.
