Dear Editor: | have enjoyed reading
your newspaper very much; it's mot.

able However, I think the paper

business and the militarists, it would
guide the people on WHAT to do
HOW to do it.
For instance it would have been
helpful if 1.-THE Peoples Voice" stimu-

movement to pass a real housing
bill-calling for a barrage of letters,
kilograms, etc., to the appropriate
congressman; calling city conferences
of labor, farm groups, veterans and
others so vitality in need of better
housing; and laying the basis for pub
lie meetings on this burning issue.
Most veterans, non-unionists, and
farmers (who will be cut out if the
Wolcott "housing" bill is passed., who
at present do not read The Voice
would thus see the paper not just as
an exposer OF reaction and corrupt
ness, but also as an organizer and
fighter for their needs. Such a bea-
con light would also begin to teach
many people, inexperienced in politi-
cal activity, how to work together and
get results.-A FRIEND, Helena.

PETITIONS GOVERNOR
TO HALT LEASING OF
STATE OIL LANDS
June 2S, 194S

June 70, 1870
Hon. Sam C. Ford, Governor
Helena, Montana
Dear Sir: Just a line to express the
J sentiments of one of the Independent
operators of Montana. 1t is absolute
| ly unnecessary and inconsistent with
good judgment to put up state lands
for sale at this time for the reason
that we cannot get enough casing to
drill wells on the land we already own.
OF course the majors can move in and
bid this land in at Use an acre and hold
it with no competition. Then too,
since you have ruled out bidding in
excess royalties, this also tends to
eliminate the Independent producer
The major companies have taken
over practically all the oil lands in
Wyoming and are now serious threat
to all Independents in Montana, and
my understanding is that they are
now negotiating for the Big West at
Kelvin, which will leave only the Coop
at Laurel to be considered an indie
pendent, and they do not have enough
crude to operate unless the major com
panies will sell crude to them.
These state lands should be held in
reserve until such time as there is
ample casing to drill wells. / appre-
ciate the fact that the majors are not
getting all the pipe they could use, but
are getting much more in proportion
than the independents are, as deep
tests from to IA thousand feet are
going down all the way from Point
Barrow, Alaska, to the Mexican Dor
der. Think we have finally stopped
the flow of steel into the Middle East,
which would not increase our oil sup
ply one barrel. but the 100 miles of
30' pipe they intended to use would
only save the major companies Ice
barrel in freight charges and my und-
erstanding is that they are now re-
ceiving $1.85 barrel for this crude
and the wells in Arabia are flowing
wells and should not cost over 10 or
20 cents a barrel to produce. / think
we still have oil tankers in dry dock
that could be put into service if there
is shortage of oil here All the sub
sidized press is crying about lack OF
oil reserves, but is. a known fact that
we have a reserve of "a billion barrels
now while before the war we only had
II billion Better hold up the sale of
state lands for the benefit of the
school children of Montana until we
have enough casing to develop these
properties. ReSDectfullv YOURS E. b.

NORFOLK, Va. Aug. II CAMP
"A group of Negro school chill
dren went to the City Council
meeting here July 20 to get first
hand information on how demo-
crazy work in the government and
got it. They listened to a bitter
denunciation of the laxity of the
juvenile and domestic relations
court in permitting the mingling
of the races at court session.
The complaint the second one
made in recent months, was made
to members of the city council by
w. L. Devany, Jr., while lawyer.
He said the arrangements in the
court on race separation are cen
tirely against the very spirit of
our segration laws"
cts not my idea of what's
right in Virginia." Devany contin-
ued, declaring that there should
be separate rooms for the two
races and that occupying separ-
ate seats was not enough.
Council members took no act
ion on the issue and expressed
some doubt as to their authori-
ty over the courts. City Manager
C. A. Harrell was requested to OBJ
tain a ruling on the question from

BATON ROUGE, Ja., (ANP)-
Buses operated by a Negro tran

ing the streets of the capital city
of louisiana. Efforts of the Baton
Rouge Bus company to halt the
operation of the colored buses
failed once more last week.
The white firm had the eight
colored drivers arrested for oper-
ating their vehicles without a pro-
per permit or franchise. The col

ued that the white firm could not
be granted an exclusive franchise
under the laws of the state to OPP

Judge j. St. Clair Favorot ruled
the drivers not guilty. The colored
firm has been under fire by the

been ordered off the street sever
al times, but after each instance

Segregation Dropped at
/ National Headquarters

DWashington, CAMP Racial
segregation has been banned in
the national headquarters of the
Democratic pray by the national
committee, Chairman j. Howard
McGrath announced list week.
Other developments at party
headquarters are as follows: The
Democratic party has abolished
it's Negro division; the party will
hire clerks, stenographers and
other employees without regard to
race, creed or color, and ire party
will soon pick a Negro assistant
to the chairman.
McGrath said that the commit
tee "merely is being CONSTANT"
by adopting a policy recommend
ed by President Truman for gov
eminent jobs and the armed fore
es. He did not say whether Rep.
William LII. Dawson of Illinois
would be the colored assistant to
the chairman or not.
Southerners were very critical
of this move by the party head
quarters. They claimed that the
President was more interested in
big city Negro votes than in sat
isfying the demands of Dixie.
Many are saying that they will
support the states right candi-
dates, Gov. J. Strom Thurmond
