Urban League Continues
Richland Job Cooperation

The Urban League of Portland
has been active during the past
week with Atomic Energy. Gen.
eral Electric and union officials
in Richland, Wash, to correct an
attempt to cease b airing Negro
workers in the Richland project.
The employment situation seems
to be in hand for the present time.
The question of discrimination
in employment was raised when a
union official in Richland refused
to assign available Negro workers,
saying, I'VE have too many Ne.
groes on the job now. We cannot
send any more out until more
white men are hired" Several OF
| the men who were seeking work
at the time are members of the
Urban League of Portland and
went to Richland on the recommen
dation of Urban League officials
One Urban Lacquer left the union
hall and called long distance to the
Urban League for consultation. He
was instructed and proceeded prop
erly to the end that the union of.
fetal completely reversed his POI
sition and not only hired the Ne
groes present, but asked the men
present to round up other avail
able men for immediate assign
ment.
The Urban League posted notifi-
cation of this situation with the
Atomic Energy Commission, all
subcontractors and involved I'M
ions. The Urban League, through
its president, David Robinson, has
also requested Qualification of the
Commissions policy on segrega'
ton in housing. public accommo-
dations and matters related to liv-
ing, but distinct from hiring poll
cies.
The Atomic Energy Commission
has discrimination hirin g
clauses in all contracts. 1t is upon
this that the Urban League bases
its negotiations. These clauses are
equal to an F. e. P. G. for the
Commission.
Approximately $50 men from the
Portland Vancouver area have al.
ready secured profitable employ
ment in Richland. Persons desir-
ing information about Richland are
invited to consult with the Urban
League of Portland, Department OF

SERMONETTES
WISDOM FOR PEACEFUL
LIVING

The eyes of the Lord are in
every place. beholding the evil and
good.-Proverbs 1853. Read Prov
cribs Is: 1-9.
Gettin galong with others is one
of the most important concerns of
our life. To fail in human rela-
tionships is the assurance of UNI
happiness. There are business, So
cial, home, and church connec-
tions in which an individual has
contacts. Pleasant connections in
these groups bring some of the
happiest experiences of which we
are capable.
Solomon believed that the wrong
use of the tongue was the main
source of conflict among people.
He was in favor of "a soft an
swer" in times of anger. This was
his prescription for terminating a
scene which provided fuel for a
fire The wisdom which shows It.
self under such conditions is the
opposite to foolish talk and con-
duct.
This wisdom has to be acquired.
1t may be learned from observing
and studying the lives of wise and
foolish persons. 1t also comes from
above. No people are born with
this gift. IT has to be cultivated.
AS person uses this spirit of in
sight and fairness. 1t grows in
worth and importance.
AS people engage in conflict or
in pleasant relations, the eyes of
the Lord are upon all, "beholding
the evil and the good" There is
no way to get away from His
watehful eye. God wants his peo-
pie to be happy and to get alonf
with each other. He gives his ap-
prevail to those who seek the ways
of wisdom and peaceful living.
Give US wisdom and understand
ing hearts, Lord, as we seek the
ways of peace and happiness. For
Jeus' sake. Amen.

The PORTLAND
COMMUNITY CHEST
Everybody Benefits, Everybody
Gives

GINeS
The annual campaign for the
Portland Community Chest is in
full swing This is one campaign
to which we should all contribute
as much as possible. Your editor
has heard some remarks from per-
sons who stated that they resented
giving because Negroes derived no
benefit from the funds NOW
THAT IS NOT THU TRUTH. Me-
groes do get benefit from the
Chest--a great deal of benefit. And
with increased Negro population,
will gain a great deal more.
The Urban League of Portland
receives more than so per cent of
its budget from the Chest and the
Urban Leagu is an agency espe-
cially designed to assist in I'm
proving conditions for Negroes.
The Y. M. c. A., Y. w. c. A.. Boy
and Girl Scouts, the Public Health
Nurses Association, Boys and Girls
Aid Society and the Blessed Mar
tin and other nurseries are but
examples of the welfare agencies
receiving support from the Chest
which render great deal of serv-
ice to Negroes in Portland.
So loosen up, Pal, and give to
the Chest and the next time you
see the volunteer solicitor who is
working to make our community a
better place for all of us, tell her
you know the facts and will gladly
chip in your share

Reassessment Held
Evening Tax Burden

The reassesSment now going on
in Montgomery County aims to dis
tribute equitably the cost of county
and State government and not to
increase individual taxes, Wilton T.
Allen, county supervisor of assess
ments, told the Bethesda Chamber
of Commerce at the meeting in the
Kenwood Country Club last night.
"It is the demand of the people
for more governmental service that
increases taxes" Mr.. Allen declared.
Between July, 1916, and July, 1947,
we added $4,000, 900 to the tax books
through new assessments and re-
assessments. If we hadn't done
this the basic tax rate this year
would be $211 instead of $1.88."
Real estate. is bearing too much
of the tax burden" Mr.. Allen said.
He predicted that before 1858, when
the next reassessment takes place,
many other forms Of county taxation
would be in effect.
Irving G. McNayr, county super
visor, predicted that next year most
of the school children in the county
will attend classes In two shifts
because of the lack of facilities.
I'VE cannot bond ourselves indefi-
nitely," he said. 1--WE cannot tax
real estate without limits. We must
haveother sources of revenue in the
county. We must bring industry
into the county"

Lloyd Death Leaves Post Open
In ArIinqton Despite Election

Despite today's voting in Virginia,
there still will be one vacancy on
the Arlington County Board. 1t was
caused by the death yesterday of
Leo c. Lloyd, whose term has an
other year to run.
Although the law states that the
vacancy should be filled at the next
regular November election, this
procedure was impossible to follow
because of another provision requir-
ing 20 days notice of such an elec-
ton.
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy of Ar
lington Circuit Court, who is direct
ed to call an election to fill the va
cancy or to make an appointment
to fill it,ssaid yesterday he has the
matter under consideration.
The Virginia code provides as
follows:
when any vacancy shall occur in
the membership of the county
board, the Judge of the Circuit Court
of the county shall, if the term OF

more after the next succeeding reg
ular November election, issue writ
of election to fill such vacancy, the

member so elected shall hold Office

Court attaches said that if the
vacancy existed on the day OF Mr..
Lloyd's death, then it would continue
for more than a year after the next
regular election, which is today.
They declared, however, it may be
decided that the vacancy actually
does not exist until the next regular
meeting of the board following
members death. If that is true, the
question Of a special election does
not enter the picture as the board
will not meet until Saturday and
Judge Mccarthy can simply appoint
a successor to fill the unexpired
term.
