|DR. ROBERT c. WEAVER CONDEMNS
NORTHWEST RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION

Condemning residential segre-
cation as the basis for racial
problems. DR.. Robert C. Weaver,
prominent Negro educator urged
that the Pacific Northwest de-
velop new pattern of race re-
lations.
1.-THE Northwest and all of the
Pacific Coast has an opportunity
to establish new patterns before
the bad ones become institution
alized." he said.
1.-THE issue is segregation"
DR.. Weaver, who was greeted
by Mayor William F. Devin, was
principal speaker at the opening
session of the first Northwest In
stitute on Race Relations. held at
Guggenheim Hall on the Univer-
sity of Washington campus.
The auditorium was filled to

capacity. the overflow audience
listening via loudspeaker in an
other room.
Tells of Segregation
Commenting on war-born pub
lie housing, DR.. Weaver noted
that Seattle established democrat
lie race patterns from the start.
while in many other Northern
cities. racial segregation was In
stituted.
Such segregation. he said, re-
suits in increasing slums. addi-
tional burdens on taxpayers and
heightened friction between races.
Opposition to minority races
evaporates when problems are met
honestly" he said.
No community, he pointed out,
can keep residential segregation
and institute sound city planning.

They're laughing because the
ferret claimed to have made animal
history by doing an electricians
job in a factory.
The ferret hit the news when it
followed the smell of dead rab-
bit through a maze of glazed piping
under. the factory. Behind it, the
ferret trailed a length of fishing
line. This enabled electric wires
to be pulled through. But the citys
white mice are NOT impressed.
"Old stuff" they say.
Their famous ancestor. thew
j claim, did a similar job 20 years
ago. Wires had to be got through
long length of conduit under a
building in the city. The tame white
mouse was borrowed, a length Of
thread was tied to it's tail, and it
was sent scampering down the mar
row pipe to appear a few minutes
later at the other end. BY the cot
ton string was pulled through the
pipe and with the string the cleo
trio wire was threaded.
Definitely old stuff" say the

7 Toff-Hor+Iey Law

Detroit (LPA) - Invading De-

candidate Earl Warren called the
Taft-Hartley law "at least an hon.

President Truman's pledge that
the Democratic party, if victorious
in November, will repeal the 1947

The Republican candidate said
that Congress passed the Taft

For Textile Mills
Air Conditioning

New York (LPA)-Especially on
hot summer days, the workers in
the average textile mill is uncom-
Portable, he can't worksat his best
pace, and he becomes more suscep-
tible to disease. Humidity must be
kept high to condition the fibers.
This is the situation faced by the
Textile Workers Union of America
which last week published hand
book stating the case for air con-
ditioning in textile mills.
Intended for use of workers in
collective bargaining, the handbook
is technical publication of
TWUA's research department. Air
conditioning is being accepted more
and more both in public places and
in homes, the union points out.
workers no longer need to be
subjected to such oppressive con-
ditions," the union insists. "Good
controls of temperature and humid
ity insure conditions for workers
to produce their best in comfort
and good health, and also provide
the most advantageous conditions
for effective processing"
