THUMBS DOWN ON HAYNES HARBOR

SEATTLE, (P)-The engineers corps reported unfavorably today on a proposal for improvements of Haines Harbor, Alaska.
 Col. Theron D. Weaver, division engineer, said the report was made after hearing at Haines.
 Tn view of the evidence pre- sented," Weaver's report said, "the construction of the jetties would not alleviate the damage from winds to shipping when deep draft boats were approach ing or leaving the dock. The ben efitS accruing from the protection to small boats by the construction of a small boat harbor are be- lieved to be insufficient to justify the necessary expenditures. Fur thermore Lutak Inlet, three miles north of Haines, offers all the requisites of a natural protected harbor which could be developed at low costs to accommodate the needs of the interests involved"

 Some of MT. Truman's best friends in Congress urged him to sign the measures.
 They were passed by the spec ial session which quit Saturday night after 13 days of political in- fighting on Capitol Hill.
 Senator Hatch of New Mexico, chairman of the Democratic cam paign speakers committee, told a reporter:
 Inadequate as these measures are, I still think they represent some advance over what we have now and I hope the President signs them.
 But I am sure that when he does, he will be able to tell the country just how inadequate and how meager they are," Lucas de- clared.
 But the Republicans had a ready answer to anything MT. Truman might say about infla- tion-a contention that he has hampered Congressional investi- gations into Communist activities in the government.
 Senator Ferguson R.-MichD , who headed one of the inquiry committees, put it on the line with a charge in the Senate's closing session that the President had thrown up "an iron curtain be- tween Congress and the public business"
 The Michigan Senator said his c o m m ittee's investigation had been stopped by MT. Truman's re- fusal to permit government agen- cies to turn over records of per sons accused of communist activ- ities.
 Congress" Ferguson shouted to his colleagues, "is rapidly be- ing pushed into the intolerable po- sition of having either to legislate through a blind spot or compel the President to answer for his conduct in impeachment proceed ings."

The report of the Presidents S
Committee on Civil Rights was COM
mended yesterday by the Board of
Directors of the Washington Fed
Grafton of Churches, which took the
occasion to point out that District
churches practiced racial segrega-
ton.
In a statement issued following
the boards meeting yesterday at
federation headquarters, 1751 N
street NV, the board said segrega-
ton in Washington churches docs
exist and constitutes a direct chal-
lenge to the church"
"Self-scrutiny In this area is in
order" the board added. stating
that the federation has made known
its position "in its organization and
in all activities which it promotes"
by achieving complete integration
Of all races represented in the
Protestant faith"
Proposals Supported.
This aspect of racial discrimina-
ton, the board pointed out, was not
touched on in the Civil Rights re-
port. The board declared the report
was Consistent with the objectives
set forth in the Constitution" and
also with the teachings of the
Christian church 1t further said
the reports views were consistent
with the formally stated position
of practically all of our leading
Protestant denominations"
The Civil Rights Committee,
headed by Charles E. Wilson, pres
ident of the General Electric Co.,
issued its report October %, 1947.
Support of the committees pro-
posals Of self-government, suffrage

sentatives in Congress for the Dis
trict was also declared in the boards
statement.

Recommending the report to all
church groups for study, the state
ment said it clearly documented the
denial of certain basic rights to
amny individuals, especially of mi
nority groups, in employment, edu-
cation, health facilities and housing
opportunities. The board urged
fellow citizens to assume response
bihty for helping overcome such un-
democratic and un-Christian prac-
'tices and to work for the full demo-
cratic rights for all our citizens
Pointing out that the federation
has long fought racial discrimina-
ton, the board praised the sec
ton of the report dealing with
this question in the District as
consistent with our Christian ideals
and aims" and meriting "the in
dorsement of any Christian body
or person"
