UNITED NATIONS GET
APPEAL TO REDRESS
WRONGS DONE TO COLORED

world"
The petition further charges
that because of caste custom and
legislation along the color lipe'
the United States is today OF
encroaching upon the rights and
privileges of it's fellow nations.
Most people Of the world are
more or less colored in skin;
their presence at the meetings OF
the United Nations as participants
and as visitors renders them al
ways liable to insult and to dis
elimination.
mot very long ago the nep-
hew of the ruler of neighbor-
ing American state, was killed
by policemen in Florida, because
ne was mistaken for Negro
and thought to be demanding
rights which a Negro in Florida
is not legally permitted to de-
mand.
Again ann more recently in
Illinois, the personal physician
of Mahatma Gandhi, one of the
great men of the world and an
ardent supporter of the United
Nations, was with his friends, re-
fused food in restaurant, again
because they were mistaken for
Negroes.
LIN a third case, a great in
surance society in the United
States in it's development of a
residential area which would SER
We for housing the employees of
the United Nations, is insisting
and reserving the right to dis
criminate against the persons re-
ceved as residents for reasons of
race and color.
All these are but passing in
cidents: but they show clearly
that a discrimination practiced in
the United States against her own
citizens and to a large extent a
contravention of her own laws,
cannot be persisted in, without in
fringing upon the rights of the
ternal and national question, be-

Railroads Hike Freight Rates
 Up Ten Percent

WASHINGTON, CP)-The rail- roads gave notice today that the new 10 percent general increase in freight rates will go into effect Monday, October 13.
 Revised rate schedules were filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission and copies were post ed in railway freight depots over the nation.
 In granting the increase last Tuesday the ICC directed the rail roads to give three days formal notice to the public before start ing collection of the higher rates.
 The domestic water carriers, in- cluding coastal shippers, barge lines and operators on the Great Lakes, have not yet filed revised schedules. The ICC also told them they could raise rates 10 percent.
 The rate hike was granted by ICC as emergency relief" to cov- CT increased operating costs while the commission holds further hear ings on the railroad plea for per manent 27 percent increases in freight rates.

A. F. l.. Leaders Slapped Down John l.. Lewis

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., (P)- Top AFL leaders slapped down a defient John L. Lewis today by voting to strip him, and l2 other Vice presidents, of the office" in he federation by which he was able to bar the door of the Nation al Labor Relations Board to 1,500 tiny local unions.
 Though not a Red" Sympath- ger himself, Lewis refused to sign he affidavit required by the Taft Hartley Ast disavowing commun- ism. Unions whose officers don't sign, cannot use the NLRB. .......
 The little federal locals, with 300,000 members need the NRLB's protective facilities most among he AFL's big family of unions. Their national officers" are the council members.
 The l5-man council, over the opposition of Lewis, voted to do away with the offices of vice president, leaving only president William Green and secretary treasurer George Meany as "of- ficers" of the federation.
 Lewis and his 12 vice-presiden- tjal colleagues would become mere council members, retaining their numerical order of seniority on that policy-making body.
 One council member predicted the convention would adopt the proposal by a seven-eighths ma iority, but delegates whispered they expected the militant Lewis to put up at least token fight on the convention floor. A con-

Navy Ram-Jet Goes Over l4OO M.P.H.
Continued From Page One

Continued From Page One the ram-jet engine is launched from shore by four huge rockets. These rockets bring the engine up to the speed necessary to provide the ram effect, which enables the engine to fly by itself.
 This project has been known as the Rumble Bee" The engine was shot off the New Jersey coast into the ocean.
 Engineers are not willing to pre- dict any early achievement of supersonic speed in piloted air craft, the simple fact being that nothing properly described as an aircraft has yet exceeded the speed of sound in flight. The tests in this country as well as in the ones in England are more properly de- scribed as being missile" experi- ments, since they do not involve the use of aerodynamics to obtain lift.

Washington
l|IHI'|AA|lIWEEKIE
By GEORGE A. BENSON

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The In
terror Department appropriation
bill, as finally passed by Congress,
presents an excellent example of
how Republicans made huge saw
ings in Government costs without
impairing or restricting essential
services and functions.
When the bill was first reported
to the House, loud hullabaloo roll
ed out of the West and fell upon
the Capitol with prodigious force.
The West, of course, saw it's re-
clamation and power projects seri-
ously interfered with, and that
means much out there where re-
clamation is in the blood of every
one.
So great was the protest that
Senators Taft and Bridges were
moved to reaSsure the Western
States. That reinsurance has now
been attested by official action.
The Interior Departments fund
for the fiscal year is $194,587 1859,
which is $101 100000, or 34.3 per
cent, less than the 1926, 100000 the
President demanded.
This substantial cut was made
without impairing or limiting es-
sential reclamation and power pro-
jects in all the Western States. The
money appropriated for the recla-
nation division totals $89,528,O38 a
considerable increase over the fund
approved by the House Appropria-
tions Committee in reporting the
bill. With unexpanded balances, il
provides ample funds for reclama-
ton and power work during the
fiscal year
Here, for example, are some OF
the vital projects provided for in
the act:
Washington's Columbia Basin
project gets ST., 100000; Davis Dam
in Arizona-Nevada, $9,7OO,OOO; Colo
rado-Big Thompson. in Colorado
$25QO,OOO; Central Valley, Califor-
mia, $9,141,2S8; Hungry Horse pro.
ject, Montana, $2.5OO,OOO; ella pro.
ject, Arizona, $1,40O,OOO; Missouri
River Basin, $17,OOO,OOO; Fort Peck
project, Montana, $1,5OO,OOO. The
money for all these projects will,
come out of the general fund of the
Treasury.
Out of the reclamation fund. the
Republican Congress made provi.
sion for these:
Anderson Ranch Dam, Idaho. So.
874,000; Rio Grande project. New
Mexico-Texas, $755, 900; Deschutes
project, Oregon, $1,626,0OO; Kla.
math project, Oregon-C aIifornia
$1,8O0,000; Provo River project
Utah, $1,OOO,OOO. The latter provi.
sion includes authority to enter in.
to contracts up to $49O,OOO addi-
tional.
Important, too, is the grant ot
S8,596,000 in additional funds to the
Bonneville Power Administration
in Oregon Washington, besides 2
considerable amount for material,
and equipment on contract.

Trucks Using Roads
In Increasing Volume

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug.-One
out of every IL pay checks issued
in the United States goes to a work
er in the truck transport industry,
Charles M. Upham, engineer-direc-
tor of the American Road Build
er's Association, said today in COM
menting on the growth of highway
transportation.
with the development of better
highways, quick and economical
transportation of foods and mater
ials from their sources to markets,
factories, and to the consumer has
been made possible" Mr.. Upham
said.
The 4,750,000 commercial truck
drivers make up the second largest
occupational group, a recent report
from the Automobile Manufacture
ers Association shows. They are ex-
ceeded in number only by farmers.
The industry provides employ
ment for 715,000 additional work.
ers, Mr.. Upham pointed out. They
are engaged in production of motor
trucks and parts. sales and servic-
ing. gasoline and lubricants, and
raw materials.
At some stage, almost every fini-
shed product used in industry and
commerce is transported by high
way. In addition, highways supple
ment all other forms of transport
tation.
Truck transportation has reached
a new high in motor history. Last
year, some 5,726,000 trucks were
registered in the United States. In
1941, the pre-war motor peak, truck
registrations totaled 4,859,244.
For every seven families in the
nation, one truck is kept busy
transporting food, clothing, build
ing materials, and other goods"
said Mr.. Upham.
Quick and economical truck
transportation which benefits ship
per and consumer alike depends
upon an efficient highway system,
he added. Outmodeled roads and
streets slow down delivery and add
to its costs.
A recent study in Pittsburgh
shows that each minute of delay to
the average truck on city streets
costs 2.3 cents. Ten thousand
trucks enter the downtown sec
ton each day. A saving of 10 per-
cent in time for each truck would
amount to $4,14O,OO0 yearly, Mr..
Upham said.
Good roads means savings in
time and operating costs. No invest
ment will pay better dividends to
the American public than a modern
lied highway system" he concluded.

Diamond Ghost Towns
Are Being Revived

JOHANNESBURG - up = The
Orange Free State, where some of
the worlds richest gold finds have
been made, will shortly also pro-
duce diamonds. At Theunissen, not
lar from the feverish activity at
Odendallsrust where smoke is al
ready rising from the new gold
mines and mining towns are SPRING
ing up on the bare weld, prepara-
lions are in hand for reopening two
diamond mines that have been idle
tor 20 years.
New machinery is arriving, old
machinery is being repaired, min
ers houses are being reoccupied
and the ghost settlements are
springing to life. Many of the old
mine shafts became filled with
water and were favorite fishing
spots for local farmers. They are
now being dewatered.
