 DISCUSSED
D emoerats, Republicans Make Claims = More
 Returns Coming In

Democratic and Republican lead CTS disputed today the significance of Alaska's slowly mounting election returns.
 With Democrats elected to the four Territory-wide offices, Gov. Er- nest Gruening claimed, on the basis of the "As Alaska goes, so goes the Nation" precedent, that the trend presaged national Democratic vlc- tory in the November election.
 Henry A. Benson, Secretary of the Alaska Republican Central Commit tee, hailed the election returns as showing Republican gains in the Legislature, asserting.
 Early returns indicate Republi- cans have increased their member ship in the Alaska Senate and will exercise control in the next legis- lature.
 "Individual Republican candidates in every district are leading in the race for both Senate and House"
 Tn citing the value of Alaska elec- tions as a national political barome- ter, Governor Gruening declared:
 Tn no presidential year since the Harding election has the Delegate elected in Alaska been of a differ ent party from the President chosen by the Nation"
 Lew Williams, Secretary of the Territorial Canvassing Board, esti- mates the total vote will be close to 10000, on the basis of incom- plete returns. He said the largest previous vote was 16,979 in 1946.
 Returns from 79 of 225 precincts show Delegate E. L. Bartlett, non- voting Congressman. leading his Republican opponent, R. H. Stock, of Anchorage, 13,657 to 3,821.
 J. Gerald Williams, Democratic candidate for Attorney General, leads Republican Amer J. Peter son, 10.l98 to 6,482.
 Frank A. Boyle, incumbent Demo- cratic Auditor, leads Republican AL bert E. Goetz, 10,746 to 5,618.
 Frank H. Metcalf, incumbent Democratic Highway Engineer, leads Donald L. Macdonald, Republican, 9419 to 7,748.
 Voters favored a referendum 10 abolish fish-traps by count of l4,- 545 to 1,717.
 In his statement from the Re- publican standpoint, differing sharply with Democratic claims of the election significance, Benson says:
 Doris Barnes of Wrangell IS elected with the largest vote ever recorded for the House. The prob able election of Republican Anita Garnick marks the entry of the first woman elected to the Alaska Senate,

BLOCKADE LIFT NOW
 DEMANDED
LIN Security Council Told to Aet by Three Vest
 ern Powers
lBy The Associated Pressl

The United States, Britain and France were reported drafting to- day a demand that the United Nations Security Council act to lift the Russian blockade of Berlin.
 Mediation efforts have broken down. The Kremlin rejected over- lures of the six neutral powers on the Security Council Russia ask ed that the West drop its charges and that negotiations revert to the Aug. 30 Four-Power agreement at Moscow, on which Russia sub- sequently shifted ground by impos- ing new demands, including control of the Berlin air lift.
 Russian Block
 The Council meets tomorrow on the issue. A Russian veto could and probably will block any posi- tive action.
 Meantime, the Palestine question came up for airing because of per- sistent Jewish and Arab breaches in the U N. truce.
 The Communists kept Berlin in a turmoil. One of their spokes- men predicted the city's elected central government will fall to pieces soon.
 Russian Feeding Proposal
 The Berlin radio, which Russia runs. said Soviet Maj. Gen. Alex ander Kotikov renewed his offer to feed and heat all Berlin, includ- ing the Western zones. The 2.0O0s- : GOO Western Berliners now being fed by the expensive air lift, which also is bringing in a trickle of coal, have shown disinterest in such Russian offers.
 Walkouts
 The Communicated French coal strike continued. Walkouts in other French industries such as railroads appeared to be ending. A million government workers struck for more pay in Italy, and the Communist head of Italian un- ions muttered about nationwide general strike.
 Some 5000 German transport workers walked out in the Amerl- can zone state of Hesse.
 COmmIe Leader Killed
 Communist leader Setiadjit was reported killed in the Red revolt on Java. Acting Gov. H. J. Van Nook of Indonesia resigned. Re- liable sources said the Dutch gov ernment had by-passed him for two weeks on it's actions in the East Indies.
 Lebanon and Syria recognized the Palestine Arab government set up at Gaza.
 Prisoners of war returning to Austria said Russian efforts to con- vert Austrian and German captives to Communism are failing miser- ably
 Russian newspapers said the United States, with British aid, is trying to corner world control of raw materials for the atomic bomb. They also criticized the U. s. for refusing to withdraw troops from Southern Korea. Communists in Northern Korea have large, we'll equipped force.

LAWLESNESS DOWN SOUTH
From The Los Angeles SentineD

For years Negroes have been insisting that obidge
ment of their civil liberties in the South BODIED i'll for
Americans and that unless owIess suppression of their
qhts was curbed it would ultimately rebound to the dis
advantages of oil Americans. For the most part their
plants have gone unheeded and they have been put down
as "ogotors" seeking TO unsete good race relations"
Henry WoIloces experience with egg and vegetable
tossers down south gives point and proof to these
tentions AS conddote for president, Mr. Wallace hos
been denied his constitutional right to PROFOUND his plat
form with almost the ruthessness and thorouqhnes
that Negroes have been robbed of their right to voice
their views.
AS we have made plain in the past, we hold brief
for Mr. Wallace or for his Third Party His platform
on civil rqhts is outspoken enough and voices profound
truths but we still believe that it is but compogn
hice designed to cotch Negro votes and line them up
in support of foreign policy that happens TO meet Rus
sio's needs TO the moment When and if that moment
passes, Negroes will find themselves the kind of
borrossnq stey-chdren they became to Communits dur
nq the wor when the Reds oye dsupe patriots and pussy
footed on Jim Crow in the name of national unity.
And we cont forget that Mr.. Wallace himself did

MONGRELIZATION AND CIVIL RIGHTS

One of the main points in the argument of the pro-
ponents of the States Rights Campaign, and the one
which is keeping olive the emotions and enthusiasm OF
its followers more thon yother that the granting
of Civil rights to Negroes6which moy we'll be limited
to the full right vote and political participation by
all ouoIifie dNeqro Czens-w surely and enevitobIy
Iced to the mongreizoto nof the White Race.
During the post twenty years and eoding up to the
very present time the southern question: because of
IFS INCREASING effect upon relations through the
world as will as because of it effect upon southern pro-
oress and growth has attracted the attention and study
of the obest minds the United States, and of he world
The question hos been deved inc from every possible angle
by the most obe Scholars research students scientists
phyIoophes ocoIoeist, and historians. There findings
ore based upon scientific proof and verified facts.
The present doy students of the race question have
thoroughly repudioted and rejected the writings and
opinions of the pseudo Count Gobeneou end Ernest Sc
vier Cox which greatly influenced southern thinking
regarding the question
On the subject of mongrezotion it hos been shown
thot annually some 10000 neor-white Negroes in the
United States pass into the White race. Coming
from the south it hos been pointed out that these
white Neoroes vino pass into the White group with
out fear of detection the products of the southern
Negroes lock of civil right Legal status, that allows
the Negro neqhbohood to be sub ect TO type of pro-
miscuty without social restraint legal responsibility
On the question of racial nter-morrioge, which the
proponents of States Rights maintain will follow the
pointed out tho the states of the norh and cost in
GLIDING New York and Illinois, where Negro Citizens
enjoy relative autonomy where they have civil rights and
legal stotus roca ermorrioge is extremely Ac-
cordnq the most recent authority there ore not more
thon two dozen of inte-morrioge in the whole
United States ond these do not follow single potern
The foct thot there so few of such marriages. is
pointed evidence thot the Negro where he en-
Joys relative autonomy and eqo stotus will respond to
the more powerful "ethic pull, and marry his own kind
such is plainly evident among other "ethic groups
which make up the cosmopolitan population of the United
States.
LET 1T BE SAID HERE THAT THE SOUTHERN NEG
RO, THOUGH HE IS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING
ABOUT 1T, is AS MUCH OPPOSED TO MONGRELIZA-
TON AS THE MOST ARDENT SUPPORTER OF STATES
RIGHTS
The above premisis having been stated, it appears
plain that those who sincerely desire prevent the
qreIzotion of the White Race best do by helping
and Leading the Southern Negro to the full enjoyment of
Civil Rights.

was held later, and asked him
to seat the Negroes. He said
the state law made it impossible
for him to do so.
Questioned about the Dixiecrats
at the conference, Mrs. Luce said
she regarded states rights as a
valid issue which should be
thoroughly debated.
Il do not believe, however,"
she said, THAT states rights
should be used as a blind to de-
prive any citizen of his rights.
If it is to be used to deprive our
colored citizens of their rights l
do not approve"
The former member of Congress
said she did not desire to hold
public office again. A married wo-
man with a family, she said,
should not take a Federal office
in Washington. "since either the
family or the position will suffer"
Mrs. Luce approved the stand
taken by the Catholic women
against the Kinsey report, but adj
ded:
"The Kinsey report, like all
cheap thrillers, would fall into
obscurity if so much attention
was not paid to it,.
When she was in Congress she
said, nothing annoyed her more
than to have male reporter ask
my woman's viewpoint on this
or that
There's very seldom woman's
viewpoint on anything, she said,
but there is human beings an
gle".

event of the councils convention.

Vail Says Dr.. Condor
Associates With 80
Engaged in Espionage
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

Representative Vail, Republican,
Of Illinois, told the House yesterday
that DR.. Edward U. Condor has as
sociated with 80 or more persons
who directly or indirectly are en-
gagged in espionage activity" on be-
half Of Soviet Russia.
DR.. Condor Is director of the
National Bupreau of Standards and
has worked on atomic energy prob
lens. Mr.. Wallis speech was a re-
newal OF the charge by the House
Un-American Activities Committee
that DR.. Condor is "one of the weak
est links In our atomic security"
Dr.. Condor has denied this. He
also has been cleared by a loyalty
board In the Commerce Department,
where the bureau fuctions. He is
scheduled to appear before the
Un-American Activities Committee
April 81.
Condon Says He Is Ready.
Or. Condor, replying to Mr.. Vail,
said:g
Apparently Congressman Vail
cannot wait until April q for the
hearing. The House committee set
that date. not me. I have been
readv since last summer.
"His speech adds nothing to the
charges made in a subcommittee
report March l, which has aroused
the indignation of thousands of de-
cent citizens throughout the coun-
try."
Mr.. Vail. q member of the COM
mittee, said the administration was
trying to protect" DR.. Condor.
"If there are weaker links in our
security chain and the same presi-
dental and departmental safe
guards are thrown up to protect
them from exposure" Mr.. Vail said,
"the committee can only suggest
that the Congress and the people of
the United States join together in
the fervent prayer, God help Amer
ica'."
Scientists Attack Method.
Meanwhile, a committee of the
Federation of American Scientists
said the Governments methods of
checking the loyalty of atomic and
other scientists is causing so much
resentment it may harm secret re-
search programs.
The groups report added that a
loyal scientist may be accused by
people who dislike him, he may be a
victim of mistaken identity, or his
activities may be interpreted mis-
takingly.
The committee said in many cases
the FBI and the Atomic Energy
Commission won't permit accused
scientists to see detailed statements
of the charges against them, or to
question witnesses.
Scientists who used to consider
that their positions depended only
on the value of their scientific work
now find their political beliefs also
are being investigated, even when
