NAACP URGES
 GOV. DEWEY SUPPORT AUSTIN -MAHONEY BILL

New York-The Board of Di- rectors of the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Colored People at it's regular February meeting voted to sup port the Austin-Mahoney bill, now pending in the New York state legislature. In announc- ing it's support of the bill, the NAACP board issued the fol lowing resolution:
 aAll doubt has been dispelled by the reports of the fact find ing committees about the extent of discrimination against Ne groes and all other minority groups in admission to educa- tional institutions in this state. New York State has led the nation in adopting a bill insur- ing equal opportunity to secure employment without discrimi- nation, but that act alone can not be effective if members of minority groups are not permit ted to fit themselves by educa- ton for skilled job opportuni- ties which are now open to them. Because the limitation upon the right of citizens of this state to obtain an educa- tion results in a tragic loss to the state of the valued services which they might otherwise render, we urge Governor Dew ey and the New York State legislature immediately to pass the Austin -Mahoney bill to put an end to the denial of educa- tionaI opportunities to New York citizens because of racial or religious discrimination.
 Prospects for passage of the important bill to combat racial and religious discrimination in education seemed bright early this week until the surprise announcement on Thursday that the Roman Catholic Church was officially opposed to the measure. Supporters of the bill today began mobilizing their forces in last ditch eff fort to secure it's passage. Roy Wilkins, NAACP assistant sec retary, immediately wired Gov Dewey, strongly urging pass age of the bill, which vitally affects the educational welfare of Negro residents of the state, and recommending that the governor direct a message to the legislature requesting its an a 0fy onf

Letter To The Editor }

The National Education Asso- ciatiop, The Alaska Education Association and the Department of Education of the Territory are sponsoring a campaign for teach. CT selection.
 We are interested in enlisting the finest young people now in the high schools in the Territory for the profession of teaching. At the present time we have 8 fine tsacher-traiAing institution in the University of Alaska at Col lsge. There is, however, only one ls46 graduate from this institu- tion teaching in the public schools of Alaska. There are over ninety teachers in the rural Ter riterial schools of Alaska, but only five of these have earned degrees from the University of Alaska and only five more have attended the University of Alas ka but have not completed the four years work necessary for the degree.
 The teachers of Alaska have just recently been granted one of the fairest and most liberal salar- y scales in the entire United States, and the profession should, with It as an indueemeat, gain the interest of our Alaskan youth, so that they will want to teach in the same schools in which they were taught. We, you and l, as peep e interested in the welfare of Alaska, should be able te enlist their desire to partiei- pate iR the improvement of in- struetion in those schools.
 In 1s45 the Legislature set up a teachers retirement plan so that teachers over the age of ff- ty-fve who have served at least twenty, five years in the teach ing profession and have contri- buted their share, equal to nine- ty dollars for each of the twenty five years of service, shall receive a retirement stipend for the rest of their lives
 Salary and security, of eeurse- are not all; more IS necessary to

OXYGEN INTAKE
TO PROL0NC LIFE
Longer Life Seen For Older
People In Oxygen
Intake

ST. LOUIS UH-Better health
and longer life for middle-aged
people may be achieved by
maintaining the proper level OF
oxygen consumption in the body.
Physicians, working at st.
Louis City Infirmary in coop
Grafton with Washington Univer-
sity, believe old people may be
able to ward off the so-called
"old age' diseases if the proper
level is acn1eved.
On the basis of their study OF
1000 persons, the Investigators
think the ideal oxygen consum-
ing rate occurs during the first
ten years of life. The rate then
falls until the age of "a and re
mains stable until age Is.
Then, according to their find
ings, is when the trouble begins.
They speculate that a dropping
rate of oxygen consumption lndl-
Gates threat of a degenerative
disease.
When the rate begins to climb
again after age As, the doctors
believe, it may be due to the
body's fight against a degenera-
tive ailment such as cancer or
heart disease.

who study aging processes Of the
body-therefore try to maintain

LONDON, -U.H- In the state
apartments Of the dusty red brick
palace Henry VIII built as a
London residence four centuries
ago, officials of the royal house
hold are busy cataloguing.
They are displaying hundreds
of presents sent for the wedding
Nov. 20 of Princess Elizabeth,
heiress presumptive to the throne,
and Lieut.. Philip Mountbatten.
1t will not be the sort of we'd
ding flamboyant Henry VIII
would have approved. For in
the simplicity and dedication to
"austerity," the marriage of the
21-year-old royal princess and
her handsome former prince of
Greece is unprecedented.
It perhaps will be one of the.
plainest weddings of any heir to
a throne in modern times. King
George himself, anxious that
the royal family share all of his
peoples hardships, has rejected
any effort to make the marriage
a great state occasion.
1t would seem as incredible
in the fairy tales as it does in
real life that a princess of the
House of Windsor would have
to worry about a wedding trous-
seau, that she would have to
appeal to the Board of Trade
for additional clothing coupons,
that - and this is no secret -
part Of her honeymoon costume
would consist of her mothers
worn clothes adapted to fit her
own figure.
King To Give Toast
The wedding breakfast
always a grand affair in the
past-will be noteworthy only
for the toast to the bride and
bridegroom offered by the King.
The Ministry of Food has not
been asked for additional rations.
Thus the plain menu will include
a fish dish, toast, sandwiches
and liquors. henry VIII, whose
gargantuan appetite happily
conceded with an era of a dozen
meat courses per meal, would
hardly bother to peck at the Sc
verely simple offering.
Nor will Elizabeth and her con-
sort sail grandly away in a
battleship on a honeymoon to
distant places. King Georges
subjects are in the main con-
fined to their little island by the
new exchange restrictions and
he has suggested a honeymoon
within the homeland. They pro-
baby will stay at the castles or
homes of friends or relatives
possibly tabled CLAIMS Castle in
Scotland, scene of Shakespeare's
"Macbeth," where Elizabeth's
mother was born.
For the wedding itself some of
the lesser state coaches will be
used in the brief drive from
Buckingham Palace along the
Mall, Whitehall and to the Alb
bey. The route will be lined with
soldiers of regiments in which
Elizabeth holds honorary rank
and some navel attachments be-
cause of Philips active service in
the navy.
There will be no grandstands

But it was the kind of quick
dinner served to a farm hand, GER
tainly not to a fine gentleman
from the United States of America,
who was, besides, good husband
material.
Now Uncle Theofil noticed how
red the faces of the girls we're as
they ate the food. He thought
only: "Nice healthy color"
He ate so many zipflies that
finally the younger girls giggled,
and the worried look left the faces
of Mama and Papa Gallo. But
Lily kept her eyes downcast. The
only time she showed interest in
the conversation was when Mama
Gallo asked: Is it true the women
of America do not work in the
fields? Is it true the husband takes
pleasure in helping his wife?"
Lily's eyes were on Uncle Theo-
fiji, waiting for his reply. Il guess
maybe it is true" he said gently,

band loves his wife very much"

"our guests plate is empty! You

LILY's face redeemed, and her
eyes sparked angrily as she hur-
ried from the room. Uncle Theofl
sIokedhis mustache thoughtfully.
Then he did what no man in Vilner
in the Vosges had ever before
been known to do: he went into
the kitchen, tied a towel about
his waist and started to work. He
carried fresh water in from the
well. He helped Lily mix the eggs
with -four and milk.
That did it. When Lily and
Uncle Theofil came back to the
table, Lily was blushing - the
kind of blush only a stolen kiss
brings forth. Uncle Theohl was
grinning broadly. :.

too, had ordered dinner from the

hospice. Lily, dressed in her Sum
day broadcloth. had set out to
bring the food in time for the
meal. But the Gallo family was
not wealthy enough to own a cart,
so Lily had carried the food in a
wicker basket atop a cushion on
her head. Returning with the
hasenpfeffer dinner, she thought
about the handsome American
whom she had seen one day and
promptly fallen in love with. She
thought: When he comes I will
serve the fine dinner from the
hospice. There will be no peasant
clustering about cooking. l will do
it the United States of America
way. When he arrives, / will be
sitting in the parlor like a fine
lady. Then he will love me.
If LILY had not been dreaming
as she walked through the forest,
she might have seen the billy
goat in time. But there he was in
her path. She started to run. He
gave chase. Her long heavy skirts
swished about her legs. In her
panic, she stumbled and fell head
long into a mud puddle. The billy
goat charged away at the clatter,
but the food was strewn over the
ground. Lily was muddy from
head to toe. Now she had no fine
food; no fine dress. The American
would choose another for his wife.
Tears ran down her mud
streaked face. As she neared home
her grief turned to anger. Who
was this man who thought he
could survey the village maidens
like slaves in market place? 1t
was time he was put in his place.
She, Lily. would show him that
in all Alsace- Lorraine there was
one who would not have him. She
planned it all out. When he ar
rived she would greet him at the
door and she would ...

would end his story, "the billy
goat was fine matchmaker"
Invariably at this point he would
consult his watch, rubbing his
fingers fondly over the eur-de-li

remind him. =.

Greek Aid Indorsed
By NAM Directors
In Form Of Gift
By The Associated Pre-.

! NEW YORK. May 3.-Financial
aid to Greece was indorsed by di-1
rectors Of the National Association
of Manufacturers today in state
ment which said that s.in view OF
her present economic plight it
would seem almost certain that any
aid extended at this time should
be in the form of a gift.
4 The directors expressed belief that
aid to Greece was justified, within
certain limitations, because of her
strategic, economic and military
position.
Commenting on proposals to aid
Turkey, the NAM statement said
these sare based almost entirely on
military considerations, upon which
We do not feel competent to COM
ment.' It added that because of
Turkeys general economic situa-
ton, however, we believe that any
aid extended at this time should
be on a loan or credit basis.
Discussing financial assistance to-
foreign countries, the NAM directors
said any gifts made should not be
disguised as loans or credits" and
that gifts for economic rehabilita-
tion should be limited to an amount
necessary to put the recipient coun-
try IN an economic position to apply
to the international bank or similar
international agencies, or to private
financing for further aid.
Recommendations which the NAM
said should guide United States
policy on foreign aid included:
Any gift, loan or credit should
provide definite limitations and re-
quirements as to what the bene-
ficiary will do in consideration of
the benefit received; it should also
provide for adequate United States
supervision of the expenditure in an
economic and strictly nonpartisaln
manner"
There should be full publicity
within the limitations of military
security in all forms of financial
action taken by the Government. y
