Fred Axford, invited the Matanuska Valley Chamber to lunch with the Anchorage C.of c. sometime in the noar future. He sugge sted that the M.V. c. ofC make plans for their own convenience and let them know uhen they could como. Mr. Mau on behalf of the M.V. C.of c. ac- cepted the invitation.
 In closing Col. Johnson renuested that Palner form group or cormi ttee to york with the R.R. repres sentatives so that more definite p1 ans could be made. No commit tee vas a2po inted at this inc, but Ei11 probably be named at the next C.of c. in Palmer on November 5.

American Schools
Praised by AleInan
In Receiving Degree
BY The Associoted Press

KANSAS CITY, May 7.-PreSi-
dent Miguel Alenan of Mexico said
today there lis to be found no more
heartening indication of the future
of this country than in the vast
activity of its universities devoted
to the service of mankind"
In an address delivered after his
acceptance of an honorary doctor of
laws degree at the University Of
Kansas City, the Mexican Presiden
declared that the "honor which you
have conferred upon me admits me
in a way to share in the open, strong,
humanitarian tendencies Of the new
generations of the United States. "
Mr. Aleman stopped here on the
last lap of a tour that included
Washington, New York, West Point
and Knoxville.
In his address, the Mexican Presi-
dent cited the striking number of
similarities' in the culture and de-
velopnent of the United States and
Mexico, a theme introduced by DR..
Clarence r. Decker, president of the
university, in reading the citation.
On hand to meet Mr.. Aleman as
he arrived this morning in the per-
sonal plane of President Truman,
were Mayor William E. Kemp of
Kansas City, Gov. Phil M. Donnelly
of Missouri and Gov. Frank Carlson
of Kansas. Among the large crowd
at the municipal airport were many
persons of Mexican descent.
There was a brief welcoming cere-
mony at the airport. Later he was
driven through fiag-bedecked streets
to the campus of the University of
Kansas City.
In the afternoon President Aleman
will go to the Fairfax Army Airf1eld
| in Kansas City, Kars., where he
will be accorded full military honors
by troops from Fort Riley, Kans.,
before boarding plane for Mexico.
Speaking at Chattanooga, Tenn,
last night Mr.. Aleman said projects
like the Tennessee Valley Authority
will help solve his country's eco
non1ic problems.
He took quick look at some of
the TWAS most impressive installa-
tions yesterday, spending the day
touring-by motor car, airplane and
on foot-the Chickamauga (Tern.)
Dam and the Muscle Shoals (Ala.)
chemical plants.

received ii the United States have
convinced the Mexican people thai
their President Is not only 9 poli-
tician but a good businessman.
Congressional leaders were quick
to suggest that Mr.. AIeman, because
of his success In the United States,
appeared to be the logical man to
visit Latin American countries and
knit all the Americas together for
mutual peacetime elaboration.
Plans have been made to give
Mr.. Aleman a great ovation at the
airport and later when he greets
the people from the balcony of the
National Palace. The Federal Dis
trict City Council, in half-page adj
vertisements, has called on the pfo-
pie to turn out en- masse to welcome
the President. The Mexican Fed
Grafton of Labor, the Regional Fed
Grafton of Labor and the Federation
of FarmWorkers have instructed
members to be on hand for the
homecoming. Many industries will

Meanwhile in the hinterland, the

keepers, new in Minnesota's grow

rights to lakes, and boats and ac-
combinations Of such to all per-

big push to deny the rights Of exist

Appointments 70 Council

Mayor Humphreys appointments
will have to be confirmed by the
Minneapolis city council. The APP
pOintments climax II month
campaign by the Mayors Council
on Human Relations, chairmaned
by Rev. Reuben Youngdahl, to
establish a F.E.P. Commission TO
guard against discrimination in en-
ployment and union membership
on account Of race or religion.
In announcing his appointments
Mayor Humphrey pointed out that
Minneapolis is the first city in the
country to have fair employment
practice commission. Chicago and
Milwaukee have anti-discrimina-
ton ordinances, but they are en-
forced through the courts, not by
a quasi judicial administrative con-
ciliatory commission, as will be the
case in Minneapolis.
Humphrey said:
THE members have been Sc
leeted with the thought Of giving
broad representation to the eco
nOmie and cultured segments that
make up Minneapolis and are vi
tally concerned with fair en-
plOyment practices"
The F.E.P.C. ordinance was
passed by the city council Jan. 81.
Mayor Humphrey called the ordi-
nance "a guarantee Of equal OPP
portunity in the economic life Of
Minneapolis"

favor with the Senate. Foes,
however, took no chances. In the
senate, Karl Neumeier Of Still
water threatened to put his no.
torious anti open shop Legislation
on as a rider, and the already sore
ly stricken piece of legislation was
left to die.
Why was this bill, a simple ex-
preston of a legislatures faith
in the Constitution Of the United
States, dealt with so harshly?
To those of us who have been
on the scenes of its development
and defeat there are many reasons.
One may be that Minneapolis,
and St. Paul, two of the most lib
eral cities in the United States,
are islands in a sea Of prejudice.
One, of which we are convinced,
lies in the fact that the wave Of
hate expressed in anti-Semitism
throughout the state, indicates a
degenerating of much our vaunted
Americanism, especially in rural
districts. That the type Of mind
that can advocate doing "some-
thing about the Jews" needs only
a spark to set it off to the task Of
doing something about Negroes,
Greeks, Indians, Catholics, and
what have you.
The one big lesson though we
have learned through the trying
days of this fight, is that we, like
everyone else, must begin our
fight for victory next year now.
That lip service and mass meet
ings are not enough. That well
meaning and extremely helpful
friends are not enough either;
that this our fight, for our exist
ence, and that if we expect to gain

JOB BRUSHoFF HAS SURPRISE ENDING:

Job; Union, Management
Cooperate; Worker Hired

That management and labor can
play a major role in assuring equal
opportunities for job applicants, re-

International Ladies' Garment
Workers of America proved to the
Industrial Department of the Min
neapOlis Urban League. last week,
when il sought to get a young
woman placed as a power machine
operator with a well known Mime
apOlis dress manufacturer.
When Michael Mike" Finkle-
stein, business agent for the Twin
City Joint Board of |. L. G. W., was
contacted by the League for aid in
placing the applicant, he readily
agreed to help.
Job Disappears
This help turned out to be more
than just routine, however, for
when the young woman applied in
person for her position with the
firm, her job had disappeared"
She was informed that someone
else was under consideration and
she would be called if the other
applicant did not prove satisfac-
tory. The young lady returned to
the League and told William Sea-
bron her story.
Mr.. Finklestein was again con-
tacted. A conference with the
union agent, the company represen-
tative and the Urban League, re-
vealed that a job vacancy had ex-
listed, but the employer. hearing

rumors that other workers would
quit if a Negro was hired, hest
tated to hire her because of en-
ployee resistance.
The Urban League pointed out
that the adoption of such a policy
meant that no group of persons
which the girls threatened would
be able to work for the firm. Mr..
Finklestein emphasized the viola
ton of the principles of his union
and vowed to fight such un-Ameri-
canism wherever it was found. He
attempted unsuccessfully to secure
the names of the offending union
members so that they might be
reprimanded.
AS a result of the conferences
the management acknowledged the
error Of appeasing prejudice and
agreed to hire qualified Negro ap-
plicants, and any problems arising
from this policy would be referred
to the Union for consideration.
Talk to Workers
Workers in the shop were con-
vened at once and an explanation
of the employment policy, together
with an appeal for fair play, was
made to them by a representative
of the League and Management.
What might have been just an
other brush off" story assumed a
surprise but happy ending because

hands in making democracy work.
