Discrimination Against Yugo-

The immigration and Natural
ization Service in Youngstown,
Ohio, is attempting to prevent
the naturalization of Yugoslav-
Americans in Farrell, Pennsyl-
vania, because of their member
ship in certain social, cultural,
and fraternal organizations.
This interference with the
naturalization for citizenship
solely because Of their member
ship in social, cultural, and fra
ternal organizations is an at
tempt to terrorize non-citizens
and to deprive them of their
democratic rights under the
Constitution of the United
States.
The immigration and Natu-
ralization Service in Youngs-
town, Ohio, has threatened two
naturalized citizens - Frank
Berkovich and Anton Evakich-
with the revocation of their citi-
zenship because of their progress

American community in Farrell.

BETTE DAVIS K
 FEATURED STAR
 AT 10TH CENTURY

A stirring tribute to the dignity of man and to his ability to rise from the ignorance in which he is sometimes forced to dwell is vividly achieved in Warner Bros. newest screen drama, "The Corn Is Green, opening tonight at the 20th Century Theatre.
 Starring Bette Davis as Miss Moffat determined English shool teacher who discovers, in an untutored young miner, the spark of genius that sometimes leads to greatness, the films action takes place against a background of poverty and tarrenness so common to the mining province of Wales at the turn of the last century.
 With her heart set upon im- provement of Welsh miners wei fare, Miss Moffat embarks on an almost impossible crusade to es- tablish a school and bring learn ing and understanding to these deserving people.
 Supporting Bette Davis are a host of capable players. among them John Dall and Joan LOT ding, screen newcomers, and Nigel Bruce, Rhys Williams, Rosalind Ivan and Arthur Shields.

ate included:
 Reinstating a provision for 50 percent refund to cities, which the Attorney General said was inad- vertently left out in framing the bill; deleting the provision for $l,00O bond on each gaming de- vice; setting the effective date back to the first of next year; and specifically exempting coin-oper- ated radios, as in hotel rooms.
 Taxes imposed are the same as the le46 act.
 Senator Victor Rivers suggested that con-operated washing mach ines should be exempted also; but, it was not thought that they were amusement devices"
 Two of the three major revenue bills still before the Senate were dealt with briefly.
 Brownell Tries Again
 s. B. 82. the uniform trade li- cense act was read through then sent on for engrossment without amendment. Senator Brownell made another attempt to amend the general property tax bill, s B 30, before it was passed along for expressing. He moved to cut the tax from one percent to one-half percent tor five mills)
 Co-author Rivers compared the one percent levy with average tax es in the States running from 3is percent to five percent. The Or ganic Act already puts a ridicu- lcusly low ceiling on any Alaska property tax, he argued; The amendment would negate the val ue of the act practically alto gather"
 Brownell replied that he wanted to get the tax way down so it would not hurt anyone. Then a basic tax law might get enacted, he offered; after which it could be built up as is seen fit. The amendment, however, lost by a 7-9 count.

fkOHttHuCu JfOHt oSc by the amendments the effect Of the bill was lost.
 Weise also replied to Collins that the question of social legislation for fishermen" would be very healthy one" to submit to referen- dunn.
 Previously, tfe Attorney General had called for his opinion when legality of the act was challeng- ed by attorney-Senators Collins and O. D. Cochran. Attorney General Ralph J. Rivers held that the bill did not differ in prin- ciple-the $100 tax on non-resi- dent fishermen not considered - from levying a sales tax to aid veterans or creating a teachers retirement fund. It was his opin- ion that tke bill was within the power of the Legislature to pass.
 Make Cats Paw
 Collins had declared the mea- sure was a subterfuge to make the Territory "a cats paw" in a private endeavor."
 Senator Don Carlos Brownell answered that it presented a 'hu- manitarian effort and thing we should do" He added. "Socialized medicine is coming sooner or lat CT why not help it along now?'
 Tn TO way can this bill be call ed socialized medicine" rejoined Senator N. R. Walker If it were, I would vote against it."
 And, Senator Walker did vote against CSHB 34, as it was killed by vote of ' yeas, g nays and one atsent.
 School Tax Not Up H. B. 84, a short bill to double the present $5 school tax, was short lived. It was killed off with only Senators Brownell and Rogge vot- ing for it.
 Senator Leo Rogge's motion to reconsider his vote of H. B. 1l2 which would boost the territorial per diem allowance to $l0, was given unanimous consent; then the bill was again passed, with only two votes switched.
 Rogge belatedly seconded Enge- breth's previous day objection on deletion of the old law provis- ion that per diem should not be paid officials while aboard ships or otherwise furnished sub & tence. An official travelling to Seattle would just be handed $50 for taking a boat ride, he argued He did not object to the Sl0 Per diem, but did object to paying 1t twice.
 Rogge tried to hook in the em- ployment of admiralty attorney David Scoll, saying he could not see paying the lawyer a fat fee then giving him $10 a day more for travelling.
 For Interpretation Other Senators again argued that other matter in the bill GOV cred the disputed point bue Enge- breth maintained that the old law couldn't be questioned as to when per diem should be paid, but strlk- ing the provision leaves payment up to interpretation.
 Rep. Pollards H. B. 87 went through major rewrite before passage It is bill to replace the 1946 law taxing slot machines, jute boxes and other amusement and gaming devices.

Good Precedent

BY successfully pressing for the eounty's
acceptance Of full legal responsibility for
the Associated Charities, the Community
Chests board has established a precedent
which is not only healthy for it and the
Charities but the community as a whole.
It is now an established fact that an
agency maintained by private funds, as the
Chest is, should see that none 60 to the
assistance of unsupported institutions.
The action of the county commissioners
s~ubstantiates the Chests refusal to grant
financial aid to the Charities, in principle
a part of the Public Welfare department.
This was not the result of a hard hearted
attitude. Rather, the Chest felt, and right
fully so, that it should limit itself to non-tax
supported members. This was the purpose OF
it's establishment and deviation would have
complicated its life toward a dangerous
state.
The Chest has acquired the answer to
any tax-maintained agency which might
call on it for assistance.
While the recent events may result in
budget difficulties for the Charities, it is to
be believed that most can be solved through
it's absorption into the Public Welfare de-
partment. That has been the trend in every
other county in North Carolina except New
Hanover and its e~ffectuation has not serious
ly affected those most concerned - the
INDECENT. Many are of the opinion that such
would result in considerable economy and
efficiency here. We believe it is certainly
worth consideration by New Hanover
county's commissioner.

Seek Ye First

The principle that if one seek first things
first the result will be that other things and
all other things will be added is one that
applies not only to the spiritual but to the
secular life.
We have an illustration of this in the
announcement that the enrolment for the
New Hanover schools is 800 above that for
the previous year.
If we figure on the basis that there are two
children of school age in the average family
this means hat three hundred additional
families lave moved into New Hanover
county.
Thus the county gains three hundred in
come earners and three hundred income
spenders. That became possible when the
county provided three hundred additional
sources of income.
New Hanover provides twelve years Of
county school and two years of college train
ing.
More important is the long range reason

Community Growth

Community growth opens up new op-
portunities for individual and business
growth.
If a community starts sliding backwards
businesses close, the number of jobs de-
e~reases, the gay per job is reduced.
In the backward moving community
churches do not function ably, school facili-
ties are limited, recreational opportunities
are denied.
People move away from a city that is
going backwards and Others do not move
in to take their places.
Therefore, the individual in the community
is serving his own financial and social ard
family interests when he gives his per-
sonal and financial support to the organi-
cations.
The growth of the community is not the
concern of few leaders or a few organiza-
tons. It is the direct, vital interest of every
person in it.

ceiving and even considering evidence that,
Under Judge Rifkind's rules of evidence, is
hearsay, incompetent, irrelevant and i'm
material - rumor gossip, guesswork and
surmise.
Their fault is that their hearings are, as the
lawyer would say, ex parte. Only one side
is heard. The witness is expected to answer
questions which bring out what the COM
mittee wants, but he is not permitted to pre-
sent rebuttal himself or through his W
witnesses, This wroks frequent injustice
against him. Even more serious, it often de-
priyes Congress of all the facts to which its

dred members of the younger generation
in school for fourteen years.
If fourteen years from now there is ad-
ded to the income producers and the civic
producers of New Hanover county six hun
dred members with the advantage of four
teen years of educational training, inestim-
able benefits flow therefrom.
Will it be possible to keep these six num-
dred in school fourteen years?
It never has been done for the reason that
parents and children did not seek first
things first. They ranked immediate income
for the boys above additional educational
training. They ranked immediate marriage
for the girls above additional educational
training. In some instances they ranked
indifference and unemployment above ad-
ditional educational training.
If New Hanover county wins its fight for
growth and added prosperity it must win
with a higher average educational level.
Here is an opportunity afforded the county
to raise that average educational level
fourteen years from now by the addition of
six hundred persons equipped with fourteen
years of formal educational training.

Hear Both Sides

Of late years, there has been growing
public resentment about the conduct of con-
gressional investigations. This perhaps has
been most apparent in connection with what
still is thought of as the "Dies Committee"
Much criticism of that committee has been
inspired and cleverly propagated by the
extreme left-wing, spark-plugged by Com
munists who used their customary smear
tactics to draw red herrings over fresh trails.
But much also has originated with the mid
dl~e-roaders and even with generally con-
sentative persons who thought the com
mites often did the right thing in the worst
way. And there has been reasoned criticism
OF the tactics of many other committees.
Federal Judge Simon H. Rifkind of New
Yolk, recently instructed a grand jury that
the congressional committee methods are
contrary to the American conception of ius-
tlce, because the investigators do not heed
"one of the maxims of our democracy that
1t is better that 100 guilty men escape than
that one innocent man should suffer punish
ment."
We concur in the feeling that congression-
al investigating committees should mend
their ways, but we do not go along with
Judge Rifkind's particular ideas.
The judge would have committees operate
with the same strait-jacket and binders that
often make the administration of Justice
IN the courts a mockery. He thinks they
should observe the rules of evidence" and
the rule of probable cause" and not con-
s!der "rumor, gossip, hearsay, surmise."
The Jurist's erstwhile law partner, Sen.
Robert Wagner, could tell him that there
Is a vast difference between the legitimate
goal of a legislative investigating committee
and that of a criminal court.
The committee is seeking data on which
to base the text of new laws. or of amend
ments to existing statutes. The court is
determining whether to punish somebody
for an illegal act, and if So, how severely.
We are committed to the judicial thesis
that it is better to acquit many villains than
to convict one man, however vicious and
anti-social, of maybe the only crime in his
neighborhood he didn't commit. With that
in mind we have permitted lawyer-legisla-
tors. to enact a code that makes the trial
of any defendant a chess game between
counsel.
Notwithstanding the many serious abuses
of which the "Dies' and other committees
have been guilty, their fault was not IN re-

More Serious Than In 1920

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-The
campaign for saving food by
President Humans Citizens
Food Committee, headed by
Charles Luckman, comes more
than two years after the ending
of the war. The outstanding
precedent for this attempt to
achieve economy in use of food
by voluntary action of individu-
ais for a national purpose, is
the similar campaign conducted
during the first world war by
Herbert Hoover, then Food Ad-
ministrator. A test of success in
the present drive is whether the
people, two years after the war,
will have the willingness and
enthusiasm they had under
actual stress of war in 1917-'18;
whether the present appeal to
economic for the sake of send
ing food to ameliorate distress
among European peoples, will
have the Jealous cooperation
that went with an appeal dur
ing actual war in which the
slogan was GOOD Will Win the

Believes In Guard

The Mayor of Asheboro has given his
years salary of $500 to help organize and
equip an armory for the tentatively-ap-
proved National Guard unit there.
1t was not the first time he has demon
'strated a remarkable generosity. Last May
he and the other members of the council
donated their city pay to help purchase. a
police radio system.
His latest gift is also quite a demonstra-
ton in his belief in the National Guard
unit as an asset to his community. That he
contributed so much in helping bring it
into being should stand to his credit for
many years ahead.
