A veteran who rose from the

be eliminated from the armed for

He referred to his report for
Secretary of War Patterson on
veterans reimbursement problems
and went on to disclose his ac-
tivities in the South Ptcific where
he eliminated segregation among
troops under his command. Thou
ghtfully considering the entire
matter of race policies, he said:
claws are helpful, but in reali-
ty a solution depends upon edu-
cation and understanding However
I think the way FEPC is set up
in New York is very sound and
I am in favor of a National
FEPC."
The family's long history OF
interest in good race relations
were cited by the young million

was founder of Spellman Col
lege and his parents had been
very much interested in the &C
tivities of Hampton Institute
Indentifying himself merely as
an employee of Sacony-Vacuum,
Rockefeller said he was using his
influence to see that the firms

opportunity commensurate with
their talent, raining and ability.
He emphasized his opinion that
Negroes have a responsibility on
the Job front, too, and cited a

other four are specialists on a

have had when we met forour

I'D at the favorite Avenoo spot
last Saturday night. And I don't
have to tell you what the good

everybody else talking about? The
Election of the good President
Truman. The thing that tickled
us most though, was all them
people that had been for Dewey
and the other candidates right up
til the very night of the election,
who was trying to tell people
that they had been for Truman
all along, and that they knew he
was going to win and so forth.
They just didn't want to be on
the losing side, and that goes to
prove one thing There's a very
few people who will live up to
their convictions right down the
line when the going gets rough
and the tide turns the other way.
And it can be said here that
there's a whole lot of people that
needs to start living up to some
of the things they breaches about
instead of backing down when
things get a little rough &.

"Gug" Hats Made In Hardware
Store Thrill Women Shoppers

SAN MATEO, CALF. - Women
don't know a joke when they see
one. Especially not when the joke
is a hat.
That's what hardware store man
ager AL Colby says.
For 35 years Colby stared in pop
eyed amazement at the connections
worn by his women customers.
Finally, he could stand it no longer.
So Colby, whose only contact with
millinery shops had been to pay the
cashier as Mrs. c. sailed out the
door with a new lid, sat down and
whipped up 18 guaranteed original"
models.
He made 'em entirely out of stuff
in his hardware store.
Unto his labor of laughs went
pieces of stove pipe, door handles,
toilet brushes, mops, plastic bowls,
flower pots, sponges, bread roll
baskets, colored coasters, measuring
spoons and heaters, clothes pin bags,
muffin baskets, aluminium jello
molds, dish rags, sink shoppers,
copper securing pads and assorted
nuts, bolts and screws.
Then he put them in a window
display in his store and settled back
to watch the women laugh.
What happened? Women flocked
from miles around to "oh" and "ah"
and exclaimed isn't that just too,
too"

MOntanans Organize
Committee Asking
Meter OutlaWry

At a state wide meeting in Mile!
City last Saturday an organization
was formed to circulate initiativ,
petitions in Montana seeking t.
make it unlawful for the state
counties or cities to establish anC
maintain parking meters.
The committee is headed by P. ]
Hagarty of Miles City, manager Of
a locker plant sales company. Hag.
arty has announced other members
Of the committee as William Davey
member of Cascade Trades ano
Labor council, Great Falls; F. E
Dexter, director, Farmers Union
Circle; Nick Meissner, merchant and
member of the city council, Glen
dive; William Mason, president,

lings; Leo Glodt, Missoula; E. V.
Arnaud, union official, Great Falls;
John Harrington, Butte; Jerry Gass,
Oil Refinery Workers union official.
Laurel; Albert Hiltunen and Harry
Baird, Butte.
The petition sets forth the fol-
lowing:
"a bill to enact by the initiative
a law making it unlawful for the
state of Montana, its political sub
divisions, counties, cities and towns
to establish and maintain any me-
chanical devices known as parking
meters, or by whatever name lie
signated, requiring the deposit of
coins or tokens therein for the
privilege of parking motor vehicles,
or other vehicles, upon the streets
and highways in the state of Mon
tana, and declaring void any ex-
listing ordinance or resolution au-
thorizing the use of such parking
devices"
Hagarty said that 800 petitions
have been mailed out to persons
who will gather the required sigma
lures to put the measure on the
ballot. If successfully in
itiated and affirmatively voted in
the general election, the measure
would have the effect of outlaw
ing all parking meters now installed
in Montana cities.

Oil Companies Build Plants
To Make Gasoline From Gas

WASHINGTON. - Some automo-
biles may be running on natural gas
a year hence.
Two oil companies are building
plants to make synthetic gasoline
from natural gas and hope to be-
gin production in a year. They say
their product will be as good as any
motor fuel and perhaps cost two
cents less a gallon.
The Standard Oil Company of In
diana is building the synthetic plant
in the Hugoton gas field in Kansas.
The Carthage-Hydrocol, incorporated,
is building the other at Brownsville,
Tex.
Their combined production is ex-
pected to be about 1000 barrels a
day. That is little more than a drop
in the bucket compared with gaso-
line consumption of several million
barrels daily.
Some government officials say it
is still an open question whether the
infant industry "catches on" enough
to supplement greatly the tight sup
ply of regular gasoline.
They pointed out that the price of
petroleum is now high while that
of natural gas is not. If petroleum
costs drop or natural gas prices rise,
they say, the gas-to-gasoline process
may not be profitable.

First Furniture Piece

The chest was the first piece of
furniture and the ancestor of all
other furniture. Starting out as a
crude box for keeping a few possess
sions, it eventually got a lid, then
turned out to be handy as a seat,
and when it grew to larger size it
could be used as either a bed or a
table. Eventually some inventive
cabinet maker added a drawer and
another added some shelves above.
Today lift-lid chests may be bought
In a variety of versions.
