At that time Thomas Van Meter, rep
resenting the timber management di.
vision of the Forest Service defended
the proposal as a conservation meas
ure.
Erickson said he represented Bust
ness and Professional men of Troy and
all groups in that Lincoln county lum-
bering town to arouse public opinion
against the Forest Service Lumber
Company agreement. He said large
percentage of privately owned lands
in the county have been logged off
and the Neils company is the only
large operator left in that region. He
said practically every one in Troy and
vicinity depends on forestry for live
lihood, and most of them are opposed
to the cooperative agreement pro-
posed.
This agreement, he said, is not one
to sustain the community of Libby,
it will destroy the community of Troy
Would Make j. Neis All Dominant
Erickson claims the proposed agree
ment would extend for sixty years
giving the Neils company 100000
board feet of saw timber of 84,000,000
to be cut annually Small operators
would get the remaining 100000 feet
he said. THAT means" Erickson
added. practically every man in Lin
coin county would have to work for
]. Neils Lumber Company for the rest
of his life whether he wishes to or not,
If he chooses to remain in the county
1t means every boy in Lincoln county
unless he chooses to emigrate must
work for the J. Neils Company on
reaching an age to earn his own live
lihood.
Van Meter denied any agreement
has been reached and said there will
be at least thirty days notice to all
interested parties before any action is
taken"
Seek Further Concessions
From J. NeiIs
There isn't anything tangible to say
what the Forest Service proposes he
added. 1--WE have been working on
the matter two years and have not
reached an agreement. When one is
reached, the Forest Service will lay it |
before this and other interested |
groups and go over it paragraph by |
paragraph. Erickson conceded the |
Forest Service is trying to get further |
concessions from the Neils' company, |
but added, there is a plan, there is
an agreement all drawn up when they |
get ready to spring it, they will. Now
is the time for Montana sportsmen |
to find out what this proposal will !

GA. PRIMARY ACT CONDEMNED

New York-The Georgia Leg islatures enactment of the white primary act brought the follow ing condemnation from Mrs. FL eanor Roosevelt in her column, My Day"
 ''It seems incredible that a majority of the Georgia House of Representatives actually think that Georgia is so far re- moved from the rest of the world that they go ahead and approve a white primary bill' which would bar minority citi- zens from voting in primaries. Are we going to put ourselves in the position of having the world think of us as backward nation? A nation that discrim- mates, and takes away political rights from large group of it's citizens?"
 An increasing number of peo- pie and Georgia and elsewhere are becoming fearful because they see ill the act the deliber- ate efforts to circumvent the highest court in the nation by abolishing state control of the political machinery. And this in turn Is the route to fascism.
 The questions that immediate ly arise are who is to guarantee the rights of secret ballot now With state out of the picture who will now protect the citi- zens against the opening of bal lot boxes or distributing ballots illegally. A candidate now can call for a recount but to whom does he make his appeal now While the act now is supposedly aimed at people of color, what will prevent it being applied to others by biased factions?

HARVARD FACES TEST CASE

Cambridge: Some few years back Harvard had two Negro players on it's Lacrosse team. A game had beer scheduled with the Navy at Annapolis. There was considerable hue and cry wh en Harvard brought it's colored team mem bers along As the result of this unpleasant incident. Har- yard authorities stated that they would never again sche- dule an athletic contest with a southern team.
 Now the University of Vir- ginia appears on the Harvard schedule for the coming fall and the game is to be played at Charlottesville, Virginia. And the reason that the ques- ton of Harvard's attitude comes up now is the fact that "Chet" Pierce a colored boy who plays tackle, will most likely be with that team.
 So an Afro reporter inter viewed Bill Bingham, athletic director at Harvard concern ing the prospects in this mat ter. MT. Bingham made the following statement:

NATL. ORGANIZATIONS URGED TO TAKE ACTION ON ANTI-FILIBUSTER
New York

New York - 26 powerful na- tional organizations were urged by the NAACP today to notify Senator Kenneth s. Wherry (R- Neb. ), Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Rules and Administration of the necessity of a favorable report on the pending Anti-Filibuster Resolu- tion now being considered by the committee It was pointed out by Association officials that inclusion of messages from these organizations would be of immeaasurable value in direct ing the Republican dominated Committees attention to the advisability of taking such ac- tion.
 Official spokesmen for the NAACP declared that they were "clearly disturbed that only two organizations, NAACP and the National Maritime Un- ion, testified before the Senate Subcommittee in support of the resolution before hearings for proponents closed on Feb ruary fourth. Among the or ganizations petitioned by the NAACP were the American Civil Liberties Union, Ameri- can Jewish Congress, Ameri- can Veterans Committee CIO- PAC, Elks, National League of Women Voters and others.

NEWSPRINT CONSUMERS FIGHT LOGGING

New York - The NeWSprlnt Consumers Emergency Commit tee, of which the NAACP monthly Bulletin is a member, has taken a number of import ant steps in the difficult project of safeguarding and increasing the supply of newsprint avail able to the thousands of smaller consumers, it was disclosed re- gently. Important government officials have been advised of the position in which smaller consumers find themselves since allocations and price controls were lifted.
 The emergency committee was to appear before the Senate Committee on Small Business, which was scheduled to begin hearings on January 7th. How ever, due to plans under the Re organization Bill to eliminate most of all of the special Con- gressional Committees, these hearings were temporarily sus- pended, with no further date being set for continuance.
 According to officials of NC- EC,, paper production is at an all-time peak; and according to responsible spokesmen, it can even be increased by a million tons a year. Smaller consumers among them most members of the Negro press, are primarily 'concerned with an equitable dis tribution which is now being threatened by a few powerful interests.
 NCEC is a purely spontane- ous organization with no treas ury and no subsidy of any kind. The Committee s work is done by the active members of the Executive Board who are most ly executives of small publica- tions or printing concerns, with a small office at IT Murray St. in New York.

30 January 1947 MT. Frank T. Simpson,
 Special Assistant
 Inter-Racial Commission State Office Building
 Hartford, Connecticut Dear MT. Simpson:
 The question of enlistment of Negroes in the new Connecti- cut National Guard has been brought to the attention of this office by an incident which oc- cured in Bridgeport.
 A Negro answered an ad- vertisement in the Bridgeport paper and went to the Bridge port Armory with the intention of enlisting in the Connecticut National Guard. This man was a veteran of World War II and upon being told that the Con- necticut National Guard could not accept his enlistment, he returned to tine Bridgeport of flee of the National Association or the Advancement of Colored People with the matter. 1 be- lieve, however, that this case las been satisfactorily adjusted, as we have informed the Asso- citation that it is the intention of the Military Department to organize colored unit in Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford.
 Apparently this Association does not like the idea of sepa- rating colored units and desires integration, rather than colored units as such.
 The Connecticut National Guard is obliged to abide by existing regulations of the War Department, and these prohibit the enlistment of a Negro in a white unit; however, 1t seems to me that the organization of the units above mentioned will entirely satisfy any desire on the part of the colored veteran of World War II to become a part of the Connecticut Nation al Guard. 1 see no reason why when these units are organized they should not be an outstand- ng example of the patriotic ser vice of these veterans of Con- necticut, who desire to carry llout the traditions of our coun- try.
 Very truly yours,
 R. B. DeLacour, l n ~

BRIDGEPORT NAACP
 PROTESTS AGAINST SEGREGATED NIT. GUARD

February 5, 1947 MT. Frank T. Simpson,
 Special Assistant
 State of Connecticut
 Inter-Racial Commission State Office Building
 Hartford, Conn. ... Dear MT. Simpson:
 Thank you very much for copy of the letter sent to you by the Adjustant Generals office in reference to the admission or the enlistment of Colored Am orleans in the Connecticut State Guard.
 I am happy to state to you our views on this matter and especially so, since, it vitally concerns us and our community here in Bridgeport.
 As you know the efforts of the National Association for the of Colored People here in Bridgeport have been to secure for members of the col ored race those rights, that. are secured to them by the U. $. Constitution and the Connecti- cut State Constitution. Then too, to raise our vocie in protest. when these rights have been violated. Because of this, the pattern set for Bridgeport is. one not of discrimination or seg Pregation but one of equal oppor- tunity for all.
 Also, we are determined, that no new pattern of segregation or discrimination be allowed to be set up to disturb, what the City of Bridgeport is doing in it's school system, the hiring and employing of colored school teachers along with white and teaching in the high schools and graded schools without segrega- ton.
 The employment of colored fremen and the position of Lieu tenant in the same department being held by a Colored Amer ican. The working side by side in many of our local industries by members of the colored race and enjoying pleasant relationships on and off the job and in their union activities.
 The policy enunciated by our local YWCA and YMCA, that of intregation in all its activi- ties.
 The policy of no segregation on common carriers, theatres or other public places. In fact, if there is segregation and discrim- ination practiced in Bridgeport or attempted it is done in viola tion of the law and is one of policy not sanctioned by law or

PROPOSED RESoLU.
TON FOR INVESTIGATION
OF ELECTION FRAUDS IN
MISSOURI
tBy Associated PressD

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Sen-
ate Democrats filibustered all
night against proposed resolu-
ton for a congressional investi-
cation of alleged election frauds
in Missouri, and shortly after 5
O'Clock this morning, Republican
leaders withdrew the resolution.
Democrats argued that the Re-
Ipublicans' concern was in trying
to strike at the President, in fore
ing the resolution, because he
comes from Missouri.
This morning the house passed
the bill for the unification of the
armed forces, which had passed
the senate, and sent it to the
White House
No further attempt, it was stat
ed, will be made at this session
of congress to pass the universal
military training bill. 1t will
come up again, leaders said, at the
next session of congress.
HoueS and senate are working
hard today to clear up several
measures, so that congress may
adjourn by tomorrow night. Rep
reScntativeS returned to their
seats, fresh and rested, but scna-
tors looked tired after their all
night session.

La COnCha To Close
Until Nov. Is Unless
Street Noises Cease
SAYS ABOUT IS HO-
TEL WORKERS WOULD
BE OUT OF JOBS
McANDREWSA

La Concha Hotel will be closed
until Nov. Is. if the city gov
eminent does not do something
to control the noises at Duval and
Fleming streets, J. D. Mean
drewS, manager of the hotel, an
nounced today.
"Plans are now nearing COM
pletion for closing the La Concha
until Nov. Is by reason of the
TACT that the management has
found it impossible to cope with
the noise that is permitted at
the corner of Duval and Elem
ing street after midnight" said
McAndrews today.
THE management has not been
able to get the cooperation of
the city government or the man
agement in the curtailment
of this disturbance, McAndrews
continued. He feels that he has
no other alternative than to close.
HE has invited the entire city
commission to spend a night at
La Concha Hotel in any of the
trent rooms, which are the higher
priced and which are naturally
occupied by the better class of
people visiting Key West, to
prove to the city government
that the complaints have been
juStifiable.
1t is with regret" that he
will be compelled to make this
decision, as it will automatically
throw approximately IS Key
Key Westers out of work until
Nov. Is.
''The majority of these en-
ployes have family responsible
tiles and certainly need the
work in order to maintain their
families.
Il deeply regret this may be
necessary. l deeply appreciate
the loyalty shown by them, but
they are all aware why they
may be left without work for the
next three and one-half months"
McAndreWS said the hotel is
the only firSt-class hotel in the
city. He added the payroll was
around $4,000 a month.
1--WE pay approximately $l5,-
600 q wear. taxes to the city"
McAndreWs said. 1T seems to
me that we are entitled to less
noise in the neighborhood of the
hotel. We lose an average of
$50 a day in money not collected
from tenants because they are
unable to get nights rest.
THE noise largely comes from
the loud ringing of the tele-
phone attached to the taxi stand
at Duval and Fleming and to the
taxi drivers who nightly con-
gregate there swearing and COM
hitting nuisances on the street.
mo attention has been paid
TO my suggestion to the city au-
thorities that the taxi stand be
moved to another corner where
there is no hotel and where the
noise created would disturb no
one"
