Charges and counter charges were hurl-
ed during the recent gubernatorial campaign
over the liquor question. These charges in
some instances were of such serious nature
that, on the surface, it appears legislative
investigation is warranted, to either produce
substantiation, or to clear officials involved.
The Voice has repeatedly charged the
state administration with not having meticu-
lousy lived up to the liquor control act in per-
hitting wholesaling of liquor by private indi-
viduals in competition with the state monop-
oily.

Gasoline Surplus
Hits Record High

To meet unprecedented demands
for gasoline this coming spring and
summer, the oil industry has built
its stocks of this product to a new
high in excess Of 4,700,000,00O
gallons, or about 7 per cent above
those of a year earlier, Harry
Stensen Of the Stensen Oil Co., re-
ports.
This increased supply was made
dustry working on an around-the-
possible, he explained, but the in
clock seven day a week basis in
order to meet a record demand
that promises to be neck and neck
with a record supply. These in
creases were the result of overall
increased production and were
made in spite Of the fact that pro
duction had been shifted to obtain
a maximum Of fuel oil from all
oil processed during an abnormally
cold winter, he said.
One big factor in the increased
demand that will draw on these
supplies is farm use Of gasoline,
Stensen explained, which use has
doubled since 1941 as the farm
has been increasingly mechanical
during war and postwar years.
Beginning with spring plowing
season, this demand runs through
harvesting and comedies with the
vacation season to superimpose de-
mand on demand, he added.

pealed with his fellow legislators
to e to it that the housing bill
is brought up within a short time.
Congressman George Bender Of
Ohio, the Republican stand bearer
of civil rights urged the passage
of the bill to abolish the poll tax
and anti-lynching legislation.
Pointing out that civil rights had
been endorsed by both political
parties in their platforms, he urged
his fellow Republicans to seize
the ball to prove that the cham
bers of the 80th congress can
stand the heat Of public appraisal
better than the White House.
Then came the voice o fthe Dix

Rankin of Mississippi. Mr.. Rankin
told the congress that the "Ameri-

appointed when both major politi-
cal parties wrote a communist
plank into their platforms endors-
ing the so-called civil rights pro-
gram including the damnable FE

Education Alone Will
Not Ameiorate
Racial Tensions

NEW YORK, Aug. 3. (ANP)-
Racial and religious antagonisms
in the United States will not be
ameliorated by education or leg
islation alone, but by a combina-
ton of those VITO forces working
in the community, according to
DR.. Robert C. Weaver of the
American Council on Race Rela-
tons, speaking at Teachers col
lege, Columbia university, at a
conference on human relations.
The nation that education is a
panaces which will cure all social
ills is old fashioned, DR.. Weaver
pointed out. Education has too Of
ten come to mean appointing a
committee, doing some research
and writing a pamphlet about it.
Intergroup relations can't be SOL

iority groups to make available"
DR.. Weaver declared.
Discussing the Presidents or-
der for equal treatment in the
armed forces and in federal civil
service, DR.. Weaver indicated that
he thought such legislative action
was highly important. Coupled
with education, legislation en-
courages people to discuss ques-
tons they might otherwise be
tempted to ignore. Litigation
brings issues out into the open
and makes people %articulate where
there was silence before. Citing
the attempted passage of the anti
lynching bill, DR.. Weaver said
even though it is not in the books,
the publicity surrounding it has
done much good.
Seconardy factors are today per-
petuating institutions whose basic
purpose, whether right or wrong,
has passed into history, DR.. Weav-
err explained. Although segrega-
ton in industry may once have
been predicated upon fears of eco
nomic CON petition, during World
War II when labor was at a pre-
MUM, prejudice still operated to
keep workers out of jobs for which
there was no longer competition.
Thus, other factors than the So
called economic reasons were OPP
Grating to perpetuate segregation
and discrimination.
The situation today is not hope
less, DIR. Weaver said. The war
years saw greater changes than in
the previous rs years. 1t is re
markable, the degree to which peo-
pie will accept changes if they
are brought about with the proper
techniques of social engineering.
However, people must start in
their own home town eradicating
prejudices. They must not salve
their c~onsciences by sending
| money to some other country or
community to improve the very
conditions which exist on their
own doorstep.
Questioned about intermarriage
DR.. Weaver said, 81 think inter
marriage is a red herring. 1t is
/ an Individual affair, a contract
between two people," He pointed
out that the social forces today
against a bi-racial marriage are st
great that they minimize the
chances of one taking. place. Wher
these social forces are diminished

Congressman Find at
Last What Housing
Problem Means
By Alice Dunnigan

P)-Having postponed vacations,
disturbed peaceful rest in the soil
tude O ftheir own homes, Cancelled
business engagements, curtailed
political maneuvering land rear
ranged all other summer plans, the
hot and bothered congressman re-
luctantly poured into Washington
to be on hand at the opening of
the special session at noon Mon
day.
Many found themselves faced
with an acute housing problem,
having subrented their apartments
for the summer months. Some had
to find lodging in the every ex-
pensive hotel suites while some are
reported as having been offered
guest rooms with friends provid-
ing they make their own beds.
Despite their resentment at be-
ing called back into an extra ses-
sion by President Truman, there
was a great deal Of smiling, hand
shaking and back slapping among
the representatives themselves.
The house floor, a few minutes
before the official opening, re-
minded n of the first day of
school-back in the old college
days.
After the gavel was sounded at
IL o'clock and prayer was offered
by the Rev. Jacob S. Payton, the
house floor no longer resembled
a college campus but rather a
rural elementary school on open
ing day. The noise, the confusion,
the loud greetings one to another,
the promiscuous walking around
seat the inattentiveness to the
in the aisles and from seat to
chair created such a hullabaloo on
the floor that congressman could
scarcely hear their names when
the roll was being called by the
clerk to establish a quorum.
Finally the speaker succeeded
in getting the house in some sort
of order, when indignant con-
gressmen began to spring upon
their feet from various sections
of the House to express their view
points an the reconvening of con
gress.
The Republican representative
Chester Gross Of Pennsylvania,
said if the high cost of living was
to be the theme 0 fthe Presidents
song, that burden could be laid
on the door step of this admins
tration. He pointed out that nine
agencies in this country are now
purchasing vast quantities of COM
modities every day, to give to
countries which do not need them
and who definitely say they do
not want them in many cases. He
declared prices would have come
down after OPA ended had the
government not entered the pur-
chasing field.

be one of the major issues in
cluded in the Presidents message

BARROW LIKE WAR
 BEACHHEAD; NAVY
 UNL0AD5 SUPPLIES
Ice Moves Out as FIeel Moves In-PIanes Keep
 Watch of Situation

POINT BARROW, Alaska. Aug. ( -iR-America's northernmost base looks like an invasion beachhead to- day.
 Out at sea, huge Navy attack transports stand at anchor. Land- ing craft shuttle between ship and shore. Mountains of oil drums and crates pile up on the beach.
 Portable generators whine on the shore as Navy signalmen transmit messages by wireless and blinkel to the invasion" headquarters-the Weasels, tractors and cranes are moving maze between supply stacks and warehouses.
 There is sense of urgency to the feverish unloading pace, similar to a wartime heachhead. The foe. this time, is the polar ice pack.
 The scene is the Navy's yearly landing of supplies for its oil ex- ploration base on the upper tip Of Alaska.
 The supply vessels anchored off shore here yesterday. They had raced here from Seattle with word of the ice breakup only to be bar red from reaching Barrow for two days by shifting ice.
 Today, helicopters and amphibians coursed the edge of the massive white thatch that caps the north, ready to warn the supply fleet to up anchor if it begins again to move to- ward shore.
 The arrival of the ships was like Christmas in August to the natives as well as to the Navy personnel here.
