to obtain the services of the best
trained men available for mana
gerial posts, even if it means going

and cities not now having a city

the rapid expansion of all areas of
the state, wish to install the city
manager type of government, yet
be unable to find within the state
a man trained for the post. If sup
port from these cities, towns and
communities Is forthcoming at the
Nov. 2 election, they would be in a
position to make the change with
relatively little fuss or feathers,
Roca pointed\out.

1O4 will entail no extra expense
or increase in taxes, he said, and
will not affect civil service ratings

Phoenix YWCA
Employs Negro
Stenographer

Ruth Robbins, Executive Direc-
tor of the Phoenix YWCA, has con-
firmed the appointment of Mrs.
Gwendolyn Huff, 927-H South 9th
Avenue, to the "Y" staff as clerk
stenographer, according to j.
Westbrook Mcpherson, Executive
Secretary of the Phoenix Urban
League.
Mrs. Huff is newcomer to
Phoenix and the wife of veteran
student of Arizona State College at
Tempe. She is a product of the
Commercial Department of the
Lucy Addison High School of Roa-
noke, Va. She was employed as the
clerk of the Loudon Avenue Ele-
mentary School, of Roanoke, for
three years subsequent to her grad
uation.
Miss Robbins inclusion of a Ne
gro on the "Y" staff is in line with
the national policy of the Young
Women's Christian Association
which has as its goal the complete
integration of all American women
into it's Christian program. The
Phoenix YWCA is perhaps the
most advanced of all social agen-
cies in Phoenix in terms of human
relations in that the various races
of the community are represented
in all levels in the organization
Board, Membership, and Staff, Mr..
Mcpherson stated.
The type of service rendered by
the League to the YWCA in this
matter is typical of the Phoenix
Urban League Placement Service
which is available to all employers
of the community.

ARIZONA VOTERS LEAGUE
ENDORSES SPLIT TICKET, NOV. 2
Political Differences Settled
At Meeting On Wednesday

In a free for all political meeting
held at the Arizona Voters League
headquarters Wednesday night,
Oct. 9th, the membership went on
record as endorsing a split ticket
for the general election, Novem-
Der. 2.
The membership being composed
partly of Staunch Democrats, Re-
publicans, and Independents, were
unable to agree on supporting eth
er full democratic or republican
slate of candidates. It was contend
ed by some in the discussion that
neither party had given any real
support to legislation designed to
help solve the many problems both
political and economic for minori-
ty groups in Arizona. The general
trend of thought boiled down to
supporting candidates of both par
ties who expressed the most liberal
attitude towards the common man
and problems of minority groups.
Several members who were ell
ected as precinct committeeman
during the Democratic Primary ell
ection stated that they were Dem
ocrats and would support Demo
cratic nominees during the General
Election, irrespective of the posi-
ton taken by the membership.
DR.. David Solomon suggested
that the League go on record as
releasing all Democratic precinct
committeeman from any obliga-
tions to the League during the
General Election, and made a mo-
ton to this effect which was car
ried. j. S. Jones, President, asked
all members who could not partic-
ipate in the decision because of
party affiliations to retire from the
meeting so a decision could be
reached. 1t was finally decided
that a split ticket would be sup
ported composed of both demo-
Gratis and republicans in the Cen
eral Election. The meeting was
very tense at times but finally
ended in a friendly atmosphere.

dorsed candidates on page 5.
