PENSION ACTION.
MAKES BALLOT

OLYMPIA, Wash. = Initiative
No. 172. the liberalized old age
pension measure, was certified to
the November election ballot.
Secretary of State Earl Coe put
the measure on the ballot after
checking crews in his office found
1887 registered voters had sign
ed petitions supporting it.
Sponsor of the measure had
submitted 1854 signatures, by
far the greatest number of signers
submitted for any initiative this
year.
The Initiative was backed prin-
cipally by the Washington Pen
sion Union and the Townsend or
ganization.
The measure would, IL adopted
by the voters, repeal the property
lien clause of the present social
security act and revive the floor
under old-age pensions. The floor
would be $50 month, 500 higher
than that established in 1915 and
later repealed, Coe said.

have just told Governor

Negroes are indeed fortunate in
having all of the three major can
didates for President, favorably
disposed to the advancement and
protection of their rights and in
terest.
President Harry S. Truman and
Mr.. Harry Wallace have been
dramatic in espousing the casue of
Negroes, but Governor Dewey has
been more effective in giving pro-
lection to their basic rights and
well being. He has achieved in
New York, for Negroes, most of
the detectives and has had enacted
most of the laws which President
Truman and Mr. Wallace have ad-
vocated for the nation as a whole
Governor Dewey, in the persuit
of these rights on a national level
for Negroes and other underprivi-
lodged people, will not have the
|uncompromising and bitter oppo-
Isition of a large segment of his
own party which is certainly true
of the Democratic Southern oppo-
|sition to President Truman's civil
rights program.
Negroes cannot hope to have
their civil rights protected and
their interests advanced through
the Democratic Party so long as
the South is in control of that
party In Congress. At this very
moment los of the 1876 Democratic

WASHINGTON STATE RETAIL CROCERS
UNANIMOUS AGAINST INITIATIVE Is

At its annual convention here
last week, the Washington Statet
Retail Grocers and Meat Dealers
Association raped Initiative IS,
the proposed prohibition measure,
by unanimous vote.
The Association charged that
Initiative Is would violate civil
liberties, crippled Washington
beer and wine and affiliated indu-
stries and strike severe blow at
Washington's independent grocers
by prohibiting sic, 100000 in dollar
volume sales from their stores"
Initiative Is is sponsored by the
Washington Temperance Associa-
ton. 1t would prohibit the retail
sale of wine and beer by "any
persons other than the state of
Washington -. which would re-
move the sale of the two bever-
ages from the grocery stores, res
taurants and taverns.
The association pointed out that
removing $15,0OO,00O in sales of
beer and wine from approximately
1900 grocery stores and forcing it
into a comparatively few liquor
stores would mean long waiting
lines and a tremendous inconve-
nience to purchasers.
At the same time, the associa-
ton declared the initiative. If pas
sed, would make 1t illegal for any
one in the state to buy a glass
of beer unless he wished to break
the law.

Chest-CounciI Merger
Is Backed by Citizens,
Business Federations

The reorganization plan under
consideration by the Community
Chest and the Council of Social
Agencies today had the commenda-
ton of the Federation of Citizens
Associations and the Federation of
Businessmens Associations, critics
of present Chest procedures.
A statement issued last night on
behalf of both associations backed
the proposed merger of the Chest
and Council into the United Com
munity Services of Washington, .
and its detectives.
The Chests board of trustees and
the delegate body of the Council
will vote next week on the plan.
The statement, issued by Mrs.
Ernest w. Howard, chairman of the
public welfare committee of the cit
liens federation, said:
1.-THE two organizations, the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations and
the Federation of Businessmen's AS
sociations, commend the Community
Chest and the Council of Social
Agencies for their proposed reor-
ganization of the Chest.
''If these detectives are consum-
mated as. outlined in the press, the
United Community Services of
Washington will have made a major
contribution toward the better I'M
derstanding of the many conflicting
viewpoints now existing and can
with confidence anticipate the sup
port of all the citizenry of Wash
ington for this worthwhile activity"
The reorganization plan is de-
signed to give the contributing pub
lie larger voice in the administra-
ton of welfare services in the city
and provide a closer alignment
among Chest-supported. privately
supported and public, tax-fnanced
welfare agencies.
