A colored newspaper editor. p. L.

Negro audience of about $500, 1T

fighting for his rights"
Mr.. Prattis appeared with Ralph

stitution, in the forum sponsored
by the Southern Regional Council
and the Student-Faculty Conference
on Civil Rights Of Atlanta Univer-
sity.
While Mr.. Prattis said passage OF
President Truman's recommends

to implement provisions OF the Con-
stitution. Mr.. McGill raised the
question "How?" - a
The Council adopted resolutions
opposing segregation in education
and the proposed establishment Of
regional schools for Negroes by the
various Southern States. The OBJ
lection to the regional schools was
that "it would perpetuate the pres
ent pattern of segregation
Mr.. McGill said there are some
who feel that the Fair Employment
Practice Commission might in itself
be an infringement on the civil
rights of an employer.

there any assurance that its en-
forcement will be improved merely
by the transfer of cases from the

Outside Labor Law

The National Labor Relations
Board ruled yesterday that news
paper carriers of the Kansas City

and therefore barred by the Taft
Hartley Act from joining q union
with board protection.
Earnings OF the 207 carriers in

$4,000 a year, the board said. The
Taft Hartley Act excludes inde-
pendent contractors from the def
milton of employees" who are guar

The agency emphasized it was act

independent contractors because:

The board dismissed petition for

that the company exercises virtually

Britain's largest investment in South
America. Weakened by two wars
within a generation, Britain SOLD
the $4,000 miles of railroads for her

It was a present from the British
community in Argentina to the Ar
gentine people on the hundredth
anniversary of their independence
in 1910.
Nearly all the British part of the
system is Russian gauge-flve feet
six inches between the rails. The
reason goes back to the. Crimean
war. England built a locomotive
which her armies hoped to use on
Russian railways. The war ended
before the locomotive arrived. It
was then sold to a group of Argen-
tines building the first railroad here.
Most of those which followed were
built to the same gauge.
Succeeding lines were built by the
British and largely stalled by them.
The result has been constant fiow
of Britons OF Argentina. Many, high
officials of Britain's railways have
worked on Argentine lines. Others

have stayed on, retired, and their
children have married here.
Many phases of Argentine life
show the British influence, but the
railroads most of all. They use link
and screw couplings, they run on
the left-hand track and the pas

brakes.

Government Industry
Planning Program
Urged by Wallace
BY The Assoeio,ed Press


WILLMAR, Mimi, Feb. 28.--Henry
Wallace, third party candidate for
President, advocated program Of
progressive capitalism" in a talk
here today.
He defined progressive capital
ism" as Government-industry plan
ming and said he would favor ma
tionalization of basic industries
which are not efficient. Together
with wise use of taxing powers, he
said, this would make it possible to
avoid boomS and busts.
The former vice president spoke
at rally held despite a snowstorm
which blocked many roads In the
area.
Mr.. Wallace described both the
Democratic and Republican Parties
as controlled by reactionary cap
italists." His party, he said, is the
party of peace.
Mr.. Wallace said his plan for
stabilizing the Nations production
through planning would go far
toward solving the farmers prob
lens by assuring good wages and
purchasing power.
To prepare for farm surpluses he
said soon would occur, Mr.. Wallace
recommended continuance OF the
Commodity Credit Corp. and local
agricultural control committees and
development of the ever normal
granary plan.
He urged that aid to Europe be
handled by the United Nations
rather than the United States and
renewed his support of a strong
United Nations police force.

Gen. Peron bought several thousand

more than half the mileage in the

The British lines were sold to
Argentina for $50 ,0O0, 900 pounds

the companies was about 10000

paid no dividends for 10 years :
most Of them couldn't even pay the

How well the Argentines have
done remains to be seen. The five
main lines which 90 out from

the engines and cars are old. They
