National Council Of
Negro Women
Split Widens

Washington, d. C. Feb. (NNPA)
The split in the ranks of the Ma
tional Council of Negro Women
widened last Tuesday as a group
of prominent citizens called on
the organization to "meet its re-
SponSibility to the public" and
Mrs. Constance Daniel, editor Of
the Councils organ, resigned i'll
protest over the dismissal of four
union employees by Mrs. Mary
Mcleod Bethune, Council presi-
dent.
The citizens met last Monday
and formed a Citizens Support Com
mittee after Mrs. Bethune had re-
fused to met with a delegation
which sought an interview in be
half of the dismissed employees.
Mrs. Bethune had arrived in
Washington unexpectedly from
Bethune4Cookman College in Day
tonia Beach, Florida, where she
is president.
The citizens committee set up
hree sub committees: one to ex-
pand the support committee, one
to carry on attempts at negotia-
tiCnS with Mrs. Bethune, and one
to raise funds for the dismissed
employees fight for reinstatement.
At the close of last Monday
nights meeting the Support Com
mittee sent a telegram to Mrs.
Behune deploring her refusal to
meet with the citizens delegation.
Surely you appreciate the i'm
possibility of NCNW to associate
itself fro mthe community" the
telegram read. eff it is to fulfill its
role ais a leading progressive or
ganjzation> I'll will have to meet
its responsibility to the public.
We therefore urge you to arrange
immediate appointment for a dele
CATION to see you or representa-
tiveS of the executive committee.
Mrs. Daniel, under whose edi-
torship the Councils Afro-Ameri-
can Women's Journal has gained
national recognition as a quarter
ly magazine, told Mrs. Bethune
in resigning that she liked ''nei-
Their the dismiSsals nor the way
the diSmissals were accomplish
ed" 1t was also reported that
several contributors to the maya
zine had withdrawn their support.
Among the citizens supporting
the dismissed employees at last
Monday nights meeting and who
have poined the Citizens Support
Committee are Mrs. Marjorie Nc
A. Ransom, Mrs. Marion Elliott,

COMPENSATION FOR ALASKA GAME COMMISSIONERS

Members of the Alaska Game Commission will be allowed an increase in compensation in con- nection with official duties through a measure recently intro duced by Delegate Bartlett.
 At the present time a per diem of S10 is paid to each member of the commission in travelling to and from and in actual attend ance at meetings. However, no compensation is allowed to the members when they are actually engaged in investigations, meet ings, inquiries and hearings for the commission. Delegate Bart let's measure would extend the payment of the $l0 per diem to the members while carrying on of ficial work in addition to the reg ular Game Commission sessions.
 A provision in the bill makes certain that not over $700O is ex- pended for this purpose in any one fiscal year which would cover the expenses of all the com- missioners together.

Air Transport Outlook
(NeW York TimeS)


 THE DOMESTIC AIRLINES have been caught be- tween the millsones of rising costs and commitments for more modern equipment. At the time ground installations still wholly inadequate to for the demand for their services The arlines taking realistic point of view in the face of drastic reversal from a condition in which seats almost unobtan- able to one which, up to few weeks ago, found big planes flying with load factors of 25 per cent less They seek measures through the Government and especially the Civil Aeronautics Board which they be- lieve will lead to sound structure for the future
 One of these is increase in air fares of 10 per cent, recently approved by the Board. All riers agreed that reduction in fares rather than n crease, is the desirable goal They point ou however that terms of the 940 dollar the present rate of fare is 3 cents mile So greatly have the costs of labor and equipment increased that the lines estimate their break point can be reached only with continuous load factor of 75 to 85 per cent The air lines further advo cate temporary increase in armal pay This pay has ceased to be subsidy; profit of more than $100O0000 earned by airmal by the Postoffice Department last year An increase of rates here would provide profit armail and might well mean the actual saliva tion of some of the smaller arlines These smaller lines also are hopeful that the outlook of the Civil Aero nautcs Board may lead to redrawng of the exist ing rOutemap to Obviate Implications from which the smaller lines the greatest sufferers.
 These questions of importance to commercial transportation and national defense, and deserve full consideration both by the Board and by Congress.

For The Sake Of Peace And Safety

Seattle Post-Inteligencer)
 CONGRESS IS CONFRONTED with the necessity of performing the essential and urgent duty of securing the peace and safety of the nation by immediately acting into law practical and efficient system of uni versal military training.
 The lessons of the past few tragic years the turbu lent and onous state of world affairs and the nssten demand from patriotic organizations and persons high in the councils of national affairs demand this be done The most important factual arguments in favor of the measure may thus be summarized:
 World affairs today conditioned by tension be- tween two forces:
 One of which the United States is dominant, com posed of democratic societies anxious to qudate the conflict of both World Wars and by equitable agree ment enlist all peoples into the work of peace
 Another of which Communist Russia is the leader determined to foresall peace and find, in the conse- quent dssenon, the opportunity to impose its domn- ion all others
 This can be done by alone-sudden ruthless total Modern warfare has compressed time and space fearfully augmented the power of weapons that an unprepared nation, matter how potentially strong cannot hope to weather attack than few days or weeks. Formal declarations of war; intervals permitting training and mobilization, protracted maneuvers and gradual conversion of industry things of the past

The extension of this benefit to Alaska, insofar as 373 per cent of the money received is con- cerned, places the Territory on a par with the States. The balance of the receipts in connection with disposition of public lands in the States is divided, 52k per cent going to the reclamation fund and the remainder being re- tained in the Treasury of the United States. Under Delegate Bartlett's measure, the remainder of the income from leases in Alas "a will be paid into the general funds of the United States until such time as the reclamation act may be extended to the Territory.
 The Senate, in passing the leg islation, amended it by reserving all money accruing from lands within the naval petroleum re- serves for the federal treasury.
The Nome nugget., 1947-05-14
JUDICIAL
 BOUNDARY CHANGE

A small area now included in the Third Judicial Division of Alaska would be transferred to the Fourth Division if a bill re- gently sponsored by Delegate Bartlett becomes law.
 The region affected is bounded on the east by the Canadian bor- der and extends south to Mount Natazhat and westerly and north westerly to Mount Kimball.
 The proposed change in the land district boundaries is be- lieved to be beneficial and neces- sary because the area involved is, by reason of the construction of the Alaska Highway and the Slana-Tok Cutoff, now more ac- cessible to Fairbanks than to An horage. It is also believed that the change will enable the judges and attorneys of the district courts to maintain the efficient operation of their offices and more readily serve the convenience of the ex- pected influx of new residents.
 An order has been drawn up in the Interior Department which, in effect, automatically alters the land district boundaries in Alaska whenever the judicial division boundaries are altered, thereby enabling uniform judicial divi- sions and land districts should Delegate Bartlett's bill prevail. VISITORS
 Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, Commis- sioner of Health for Alaska, is in Washington from Juneau on off cial business. Dr. Albrecht, while in the capital, testified before the Senate committee hearing testi- mony for the Interior Department appropriations, especially urging restoration of funds for the Alas ka Native Service for the care of l the tuberculous.

 In effect what does military training mean to the young man?
