Arms Training Plan
BY the Assoeioted Press

Congressional hackers of univer-

today to carry their case to the
people through each of the 4S Gov

The lawmakers have enlisted the
aid of a national organization, as

the State executives urging them
to whip up sentiment for the legis-
lstion.
The Governors adopted a resolu-
ton advocating universal training
at their July conference In Salt
Lake City.
Original Plan Shelved.
Earlier plans were for the House
Armed Services Committee, which
overwhelmingly approved uni
versal training bill late last session,
to sponsor the State-by-State drive.

Dear Joe
ROLL YOUR OWN
By JAMES L. HICKS

Still having trouble making that
first million, Ell Joe? Well, maybe
il you are told how some Of the
boys have come out and made their
first thousand, you will be able to
use them as an example and go on
with your brilliant ideas from there.
Let's have a look at a few guys
who have gone out and started
something new.
Take Charles E. Tanner, a dis
abled veteran of HOuma, La. Tan
ner is learning to operate a mink
farm under the vocational reha-
Utilization act.
Training under a pioneer mink
raiser, Tanner is specializing in
dark furred Yukon mink, bred in
captivity, which he keeps in strong
steel cages in back of his cottage.
He feeds them salt water fish which
he catches in a lake near his home,
vitamins and protein-enriched cere-
ais to increase their market value.
Mink pelts are selling for $24.50
apiece and mink raised for breed
ing purposes bring about $50 each,
Robert NJ. Bonds, a disabled ex-
CT from Russellville, Ark, is study
ing agriculture under the vOca-
tiOnal rehabilitation act and is ap-
plying his knowledge as he learns
it, to the raising of angOra rabbits
for their wool.
Bonds say a man and his wife
can make a comfortable living on
a one-acre farm with herd of from
400 to 1000 angora rabbits. He
says each rabbit will yield a net
profit of from $3.50 to $3.50 a
year, and extra income would re.
suit from the sale of rabbits foI
meat and breeding purposes.

DARK VICTORY

Prominent citizen, DR.. Herbert
c. Marshall of Washington, D. c.,
says the locating of an all-colored
veterans hospital at Mound Bayou,
Miss, is a victory" for the Ma
tional Medical Association.
If NINA is the victor, doctor,
the colored veteran is the loser.
All of which reminds US that
when the VA broke down and
agreed to hire colored doctors as
consultants at the Mount Alto hos
pital in Washington, a single quail
fed colored doctor to accept one
of the posts could not be found
because the regulations require
that in addition to being a specialist
you must also be a veteran. Looks
like a dark victory for the NINA
from where we sit.

DEATH OF A PREJUDICE

Reasons cited by the standing
committee of newspaper CORE
spOndents for their recent decision
excluding a Negro reporter from
the Senate press gallery sounded
much too technical for the determi-
nation of so important an issue. 1t
is consequently a pleasure to note
that the Senate rules committee
has now overruled the decision.
At the same time, another branch
of the correspondents association
has voted favorably on second
Negro applicant. These are the
first Negroes ever to be admitted
to the press gallery. The action
upsets a tradition which should
have died out a century or so ago.

Spotlight
By Louis Lautier

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.,
Republican, Of Massachusetts, has
introduced a joint resolution pro-
posing a constitutional amendment
providing for the popular election
Of the President and Vice President
Of the United States. His resolu-
ton would abolish the obsolete cleo
toral college which makes possible
the election Of a man as President
who has not received a majority or
plurality Of the popular vote.
Students Of politics are Of the
opinion that the federal election
system is in need Of reform. The
Lodge proposal is only one of sew
eral steps proposed. United States
supervision and regulation Of fed
eral elections and abolition Of the
poll tax as prerequisite to vot-
ing in such elections are among
other proposals.
1t is doubtful that the electoral
college has ever worked as the
trainers of the Constitution thought
it would. The original intention was
that a small group Of public-spir
tied men would deliberately and
judiciously pick the man best suited
for the office. In actual practice,
however, it has made possible the
election Of President by a minor
ity vote of the people.
Senator Lodge gave three ex-
amples Of the election Of Presi,
dent by a minority vote. One was
the election Of John Quincy Adams
who was chosen by the House of
Representatives in 1924, although
Andrew Jackson received a popular
plurality Of 10000 votes over him.
Rutherford b. Hayes was chosen
President in 1876 by an Electoral
Commission, although Samuel J.
Illden actually received 25S,OOO
more votes than he did.
In 1888 Grover Cleveland was de-
feated, although he had a popular
vote of $4,000 against Benjamin
Harrison's 5,444,337.
One interesting aspect of this
question is the value of votes
cast in a Presidential election in
different states. The votes of
people living in states where col
Ored people are disfranchised
count for more than the votes
of people living in States where
