School Board Group
To Study Decline in
CadetC Personne|
PATRICK II. CLARK.

The problem presented by the de-
Ginning enrolment in the High
School Cadet Corps in the white
high schools will be taken up by the
Board of Education's Student Ac-
Invites Committee at meeting,
probably next week, it was an
nounced today.
Meanwhile, the School Board In
special poll OF its members ap-
proved the appointment OF tour STU
dents to top positions IN the Cadet
Corps. Final recruiting and organi-
zation of the corps was being COM
pleted today in the various high
schools.
Officers Not Optimistic.
1t was the small number OF CADETS
in the white high schools that
caused the Army to threaten to
Withdraw It's support to SIX schools
this week. They were Eastern,
Coolidge, Roosevelt, Mckinley, Bell
Vocational and Chamberlain Voca-
tional. The Army furnishes rifles
and some ammunition to the cadets.
School officials have not been too
optimistic about any increase in en-
rollment in the cadets at the white
high schools. There is no problem
at the colored schools, where the
number of cadets is above the mini
mum desired by the Army.
Top Leaders of Corps.
Named as top leaders in the cadet
corps were:
Patrick Henry Clark. jr., 16, of
1907 Columbia road NV. who will
be colonel in command of the
white high school cadets
John Hamilton. Is. of 1925 Thir-
tenth street NV, who will head
the colored cadets with the rank
of colonel.
Miss Elizabeth S. Nanny, is, of
1888 Taylor street NV, who will
command the girls corps in the
white school as a lieutenant colonel.
Miss Doris H. Heggans, Is, of
POO Flagler place NV, who will be
lieutenant colonel in charge = of
the colsred girl cadets =
None Plans Military Career
None of the new appointees has a
military career in mind.
Col. Clark, senior at Central
High School, wants to study law and
psychology at Harvard and then
teach. Last year he was a corporal
in the cadets. Col Hamilton wants
to be either a doctor or a lawyer.
He was a master sergeant in the
Dunbar High School cadets before
his appointment. ~"@> @'.-ea"
Miss Many. sergeant at Rcose-
welt High School last year, plans to
go to Randolph-Macon Womcn's
College. Miss Heggans wants to be
a lawyer and hopes to study either
at Radcliffe or Bates. She was
sergeant at Dunbar High School.

| Randolph 10 Testify
Again Today on HU
Contract Negotiations
BY The Asseeietsd Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 23.-The
International Typographical Union
called its president, Woodruff Ran
dolph, back for more testimony to-
day in answer to Federal court con-
tempt charges.
The union is fighting Government
contentious that it and its ofhcers
have continued to insist on news
paper contract clauses in violation
of the Taft-Hartley Act despite
court in junction.
Mr.. Randolph testified yesterday
that the ITU felt legally clear in
suggesting contract terms to news
paper publishers similar to those
accepted by the New York COM
mercial printing industry and in
dorsed by attorneys for that branch
Of the publishing industry.
Union Recession Admitted.
The ITU president said the union
receded from these terms to some
extent in negotiating agreements
with newspapers in New York City
and Buffalo.
The National Labor Relations
Board attorneys have commended the
TITUS standard newspaper contract
offer is illegal and contrary to Fed
eral Judge Luther M. Swybert's de-
cree against proposals tending to
force employment discrimination
against non-union printers.
For instance, the union wants
newspaper publishers to agree to
require non-union applicants for
composing room jobs to take compe-
tency tests, but to permit ITU
members to take such jobs without
taking tests.
Statistics Submitted.
The ITU claims it's members must
qualify through an apprentice train
ing period. However, NLRB attor-
neys have charged that many print
ers get ITU membership cards with
out apprenticeship or passing such
tests as the union is proposing for
non-union job applicants.
In this connection, NLRB Attor-
ney Winthrop Johns, before resting
his case yesterday, submitted union
statistics which, Mr.. Johns said,
show that more than $4,000 printers
have become ITU members in the
past 40 years without taking an
apprenticeship.
Mr.. Johns told Judge Swygert
the union competency test proposal
is merely an attempt to bypass the
Taft Hartley ban against the closed
shop.
In opening the defense. ITU At
torney Gerhard Van Arkel pro-
tested he Is being required to de-
fend the union twice on similar
charges. He said contentious that
the ITU has continued Taft Hart
ley violations since Judge Swygert's
injunction last March were con-
Sidered by an NLRB trial examiner
who ruled in the unions favor.
For this reason, the defense chose
to limit its evidence to new mat
tiers brought out at the contempt
trial, refusing to 60 over the ground
it covered before the NLRB ex-
aminer.

the conclusion that you just can't

During last months sweltering

air conditioned buildings looked
enviously on their lucky colleagues
who worked in air-cooled Govern
ment buildings.
But some of those working in air
cooled comfort took q different view
of the matter. They've complained
that there was too much cold air IN
their Offices and that they got The

All of which caused a PBA official

ORGANIZATION DRIVE-Milton
Murray, former president of the CLIO
American Newspaper Guild, has
taken over the direction of the newly
organized Government Workers
Union.
Mr.. Murray at present is the
public information director of the
CLIO Shipbuilders' Union, with

Mr.. Murray, one of his top aides
to give full time and attention to
the new Government workers
group. Mr.. Murray will devote most
of his time to the unions member
ship drive.
Contrary to published reports the
new group has not set the world on
fire in organizing Federal and other
public employees since it was formed
several months ago. That's why Mr.
Murray was assigned to take over
the unions organizing drive.
GNU officials say they have been
slowly adding to their membership
including a large group of Yonk-
ers IN. " city employees who for
merly belonged to UPWA, but they
expect really to start rolling under

The new union describes itself as
"a progressive CLIO group that is
unalterably, opposed to commu-
nism."

Incidentally, Mr.. Mccormack will

NO PLACE LIKE HOME-Em-
ployes in the Treasury Departments
Bureau of Public Debt in Chicago
still are writing to Treasury off,
Gals here, asking that the bureau
be brought back to Washington.
Transferred to Chicago during the
early war years, these employees
have not lost hope of coming back
to Washington.
But Treasury officials say there Is
no immediate prospect of bringing
the BPD, with its 5000 employees,
back to the Capital.
The main obstacle to bringing the
bureau back here is lack of space
to house the large unit. Treasury
officials say they have all they can
do now to squeeze in all their &C
tivity in the space allotted them
here, without taking on the extra
headache right now of finding space
for the Public Debt Bureau.

Limit Set AT
90 Miles In State
Petrol Head Says
New Law Will
Be Enforced Now

Colonel T. B. Birdsong, Commits
sioner of Public Safety, states that
House Bill No. SO, which sets up
maximum speed limits on the high
ways Of Mississippi is now in effect
and must strictly be adhered to.
Birdsong said: 81 am instructing all
Highway Patrolmen to begin en-
forcing the law Immediately"
The portion of the law dealing
with maximum speed is as follows:
Section l. That section 8176 of the
code of 1912 be and the same is here
by amended to read as follows:
8176. Speed restrictions. (a) No per-
son shall operate a vehicle on the
highways of the state at a speed
greater than the following:
l. Truck or truck-trailer combina-
ton, forty five (45) miles per hour.
Privided, however, that as to speed
limits pickup" trucks " ton and
under, and not over loaded, shall be
treated as private passenger cars
as mentioned in subsection (3) of
this section.
2. Passenger bus, fifty five (55)
miles per hour.
3. Private passenger vehicles, sixty
(60) miles per hour.
(b) The driver or operator of any
motor vehicle must decrease speed
when approaching and crossing an
intersection, when approaching and
going around a curve, when ap'
preaching a hill crest, when travelling
upon any narrow Or winding road
way, or when special hazards exist
with respect to pedestrians or other
traffic or by reaso of weather or
| highway conditions, and speed shall
be decreased as may be necessary to
avoid colliding with any person, We
hicle or other conveyance on or en-
tering the highway in compliance
with legal requirements.
Colonel Birdsong asks for the CO.
operation of all motorist and hopes
the public will cooperate.
In 1948 445 of our people in Missis-
sippi were killed and in many in.
stancts speed was the contributing
factor.
I'VE hope it will not be necessary
to penalize anyone. However, the
speeding on our highways must stop
and we are going to enforct this law
to the letter." Birdsong said.
