WASHINGTON.- = Two entirely
unrelated incidents in the Senate
recently illustrate quite we'll the
unhealthy authoritarian contempt
for the Congress now being pro-
NOTED by White House "voices" and
the radical elements of the linger-
ing New Deal
In the first instance, it was COM
mon knowledge that the new Re-
publican Congress had before it
the mandate of the 1916 elections to
correct abuses of labor laws. The
public and the individual laborer
must be protected from the eco
nOmic domination of labor racket
eers, who recognize no obligation
to the public,
head of the Democrat Party whose
strength is it's partnership with
radical labor. If Mr.. Truman has
any hopes of being elected in 1948
it will be through his ties with la
Dor groups.
Representing a crOSS-SectiOn OF
, the Nation, the new Congress is
shaping up what it believes to be
the best labor law in the public's
interest AS these new labor laws
were being smoOthed out, into the
hopper was plunged a substitute
measure by Senator Murray Of
Montana. Murray and the White
House voices say it must" be en-
acted.
The implication was that Mr.
Truman would veto any other labo
bill This threat was voiced evel
before Mr.. Truman knew what tn
, labor bill would be. But the Tru
, man-Murray bill, of course, can b
assumed to be acceptable to radica
labor leaders. Therefore, it cOul
hardly be expected to be correct

there was nothing personal tow

man." he said.
Hines then told him that his
(Bowling's) attitude was unusu-
al. "You say you think DR.. Blu
ford is a fine man, yet in your
open charges you accuse him of
being consistently dishonest and
unethical."
Bowling did not reply.
Bowling told the committee
that the technical department of
the school was doomed if the
board sanctioned the way the
department was being conducted
under DR.. Bluford. Among his
specific charges the former pro-
fessor said that "Bluford has re-
duced his standards and rat
ing requirements until no board
would rate the school GA"
DR.. Bluford in turn produced
the latest rating sheet, which
listed A. and T. as one of seven
four-year Negro colleges in North
Carolina with an ga" rating,

professors specific charges were
based on the comparatively in
volved methods the administra-
ton, handled the technical de-
partment of the college.
Bowling claimed that he had
been forced to operate his de-
partment with insufficient funds
and with much of his own equip
ment. He said that he had never
been allowed to choose any equip
ment that the college bought for
the department, and that he had
never been consulted in the hir-
ing of department instructors.
A graduate of Bucknell and
Ohio State Universities, Bowling
pointed out that the engineer
ing department courses there
were considered hard, and that
engineering Scourses were the
"snap'' studies because of lack
of equipment.

|"5ECRET HEART" IS ROMANTIC FEATURE
 TAT CAPITOL THEATRE

A powerful drama, The Secret Heart" with Claudette Colbert, Walter Pidgeon, and June Ally son opens at the Capitol Theatre Sunday for a 3-day run.
 The immortal waltz, Pa Plus Que Lents' is. not only the theme melody but is a psychological factor in the film story
 Through this musical classic, the character of June Allyson unfolds. She portrays an adolescent whose neurotic personality is both ex- pressed and explained by the mu- sic.
 When the strains of this partic- Iular melody are heard the aud fence realizes another character has stepped on the screen, a char acter who wields strong in- fluence on Miss Allyson. It is an influence far greater than the one exerted by Claudette Colbert, who enacts the stepmother, or by Walter Pidgeon with whom Miss Allyson fancies herself in love.

He said that it now runs under the Glacisr in- stead of in front.
 Blackerby and Larry Zach, Dis trict Ranger, attribute the change of the rivers course to the re- cent heavy rains and high waters. They said that persons may now walk right up to the face of the Glacier without difficulty now that the rivers former bed is com pletely dry.
 The portion affected represented a ore mile stretch of the river. The new course is a half mile shorter. The remainder of the river still follows it's regular course from Mendenhall Lake to the Gas tineau Channel.

HUGE JADE
 NUGGET IS
 DISCOVERED

ANCHORAGE Alaska-Discovery of a 60O-pound pure jade nugget in the Shungnak river area 500 air miles northwest of here was reported by George E. Van Hagen and Harry M. Coleman, both of Chicago, returning from an eight day prospecting trip in the storied jade mountains
 The nugget, sighted hy Van Ha- gen in a creek tributary Of the Kobuk river, is approximately four feet long and 20 inches in dia- meter. It is believed to consist entirely of gem quality jade. Ar arrangements have been made by Coleman and Van Hagen to fly the nugget intact to Chicago for appraisal. It is reputedly the larg- est single find of jade in Alaska.
 Both men reported finding numerous smaller jade fragments in creek beds and at the base of several nearby mountains. They also reported seeing several large nuggets of undetermined quality on Eskimo claimed land. In ad- dition to the number of jade frag- ments the men brought with them a 42-pound nugget purchased from natives at the Shungnak settle ment.
 The country in which tie Ciscov- cry was made, according to Eski- mo tradition, has been the only source of jade in Alaska for cen turies. Archeologists have found jade implements made by Eski- mos as far north at Point Bar row and south of Nome. Shung- nak is Eskimo for jade.
 Although the existance of jade in northwest Alaska has been known and reported for 50 years, no successful effort has been made to recover it for commercial use. This has been due in part to the inaecessibility of the jade regions ana alSO IO lIie qucoIiOiidbiC quoA- ity of the mineral Another de- terrent has been the similarity of jade to serpentine or green stone" in which the Shungnak area abounds.
 Last year an Alaskan mining company reputedly recovered and shipped several tons of jade-bear- ing rock from the jade mountain" district. Assays reportedly proved most of this to be below gem quail ity. A small quantity, however assayed high quality jade. As a result the United States Assay Office reports that Alaskan jade of superior quality is now in greater demand among certain jewellers than Chinese jade, which heretofore has been accepted as the standard of quality
