PuIIiom Hits at Communism

A hard hitting analysis of condi-
tions in Europe and Central Amer
lea was presented to the Phoenix
Urban League, last Tuesday eve
ming by Eugene c. Pulliam, pub
Usher of the Arizona Republic and
the Phoenix Gazette.
Pulliam, whose reports from Eu-
rope were carried in Phoenix news
papers and newspapers from coast
to coast through North American
Newspaper Alliance reported that
communism is rampant in Europe.
Pulliam said that two things inn
pressed him most. during his trav-
els through % foreign countries.
1. An unbelievable sentiment of
hatred and distruSt of the U. S. on
the part of the peoples to whom he
talked, and 2. Communists are at
work all over Europe, day and
night, stirring up trouble against
the United States.
Another tragic fact" he con-
tinued, "is the tragic collapse of
English socialism"

stating:
IT don't believe we are going to
have war with Russia, unless we
start it. Russia does not want war
because Russia is not ready for
war. Russia cannot feed their own

"The basis of this country's sue

He pleaded that American Ne

Ministerial Alliance
Flaws Phoenix Urban
League Act

The Ministerial Alliance, in their
meeting last Monday, sends a let
ter of protest to the Urban League
for ommitting the Churchs' parti-
cipation in Vocational Opportunity
Guidance Week program, which
reads as follows:
Mr.. ]. Westbrook Mcpherson,
Executive Secretary,
Phoenix Urban League.
Dear Sir:
A few weeks ago we note with
much human pride that your local
branch of the National Urban Lea
que acting in accordance with the
National program of your organi-
zation, presented a very attractive
program titled: "The Sixteenth Vo-
cational Opportunity Week."
Included on your program we
note with appreciative interest that
fourteen different professional
fields were well considered which
read as follows: Medical, Dentis-
try, Business, Building Trade, Lii
brarian, Photography, Science, Arts
and Crafts, Secretarial, Beauty
Culture, Teaching and General
School Work, United States Serv-
ice, Mortuary, Skilled Trades.
In view of the national and in
ternational unrest which is sweep
ing our world today, and in view of
what this one sadly omitted insti-
tuition has meant to every phase of
human development, won't you
agree with us when we say you
made a sad mistake when you
omitted the Church in your voca-
tional week local program? Re-
gardless to how securely we may
feel in our given field today, we
must not overlook the fact that we
are today, what we are, simply be-
cause the Church lived and existed
as the greatest pioneer of all Wor-
thy human causes of yesterday.
It is so easy for one in this present
scientific age to forget the old re-
liable bridge that brought us safely
across the bitter waters of opposl-
tions. We do not claim to know
who is directly responsible for this
bluntful insult upon the Church,
but all indications point toward a
planning committee which isn't a
closeup follower of the Church
and the progressive principles for
which it stands.
Whether the blame falls upon
the National Urban League move
ment, or whether it was blind
plunge on the part of the local
program committee, we are not in
position to say; but as representa-
tives of religious profession we do
hereby beg that such bluntful
omission shall never be repeated.
Respectfully,
Signed: ]. R. MINER, President.
L. B. NELSON, Cors. Secretary.

Mayor Busey Presents City F.E.P.C. Bill
MAYOR ASKS FOR FAIR
EMPLOYMENT ACT

The Phoenix City Commission
was presented with the basic out
line for a city Fair Employment
Practices Act by Mayor Ray Busey
at the Commission meeting, last
Tuesday.
The Mayor prefaced his presen-
tation of the outlined ordinance by
observing that the city of Phoenix
has recognized for some time that
some sort of F.E.P.C. ordinance
was badly needed.
Mr.. Busey proceeded to read his
proposed outline as follows:
can Ordinance Regulating the
Hiring and Application For En-
ployment of Prospective City En-
ployeeS.
"Be it ordained by the Commits
sion of the City of Phoenix as fol-
lows:
"Sec. 1. It shall be unlawful for
any person, employee, department
head or other persons acting in be-
half of the City Of Phoenix who
has the power to accept applica-
tionS or hire employees on behalf
of the City of Phoenix to discrimf-
nate against any applicant or pros
peetive employee because of his
or her race, creed, color or nation
al origin, with respect to his or her
hiring or applications for employ
ment.
"Sec. 2. The provision of Section
1 shall not apply to applicants or
prospective employees who indi-
vidually or as a member of a group
Gates the overthrow by force of
the u. S. Government, in a manner
declared illegal by the appropriate
courts.
"Sec. 3. All contractual agencies
of the City of Phoenix shall include
in all of their contracts provisions
not to discriminate against any
employee or applicant for employ
ment according to the provision of
Section 1. Contractual agencies are
required to include a similar provi-
sion in all of their subcontractS."
Commissioner Maxwell immed-
ately expressed approval of the
proposal and stated that in his
opinion Section of the proposed
ordinance was really more signifi-
cant than the other two sections.
He concluded, eff there are not in
surmountable legal problems en-
volved, Section 3 should by all
means be incorporated into the
law.
Mayor Busey instructed the City
Attorney to rewrite the outlined
proposal into sound workable or
dinance to be presented to the
council within two weeks.

Mayor Busey Moves To
Gust Commissioner Stone

Mayor Ray Busey, in Phoenix
City Commission meeting last
Tuesday, questioned the right of
Roy D. Stone to continue his pres
ent term as city commissioner.
The Mayor based his move on
the fact that Stone is an employee
of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company.
Busey pointed out that the city
charter specifies: mo officer shall
be directly or indirectly in the en-
ploy of any public service corpora
ton in the city or of any person
having any contract with the city
or any guarantee of a franchise
granted by the city,"
The charter further provides
that any violation of the provision
shall be deemed misdemeanor.
Stone attempted to defend him
self by observing that the railroad
operates under franchise granted
by the state rather than the city,
but Busey replied that the city
grants the railroads franchises to
operate on certain streets.
Stone then questioned the right
of Walter Maxwell to serve on the
Commission, since he moved out of
the city limits last October.
"I welcome an investigation to
determine whether I should be al
lowed to serve my last month" }"
Maxwell declared. Maxwell later
asked Stone if he would welcome
such a probe and Stone said he
would.

passage, however. in view Of the fact
the armed services are not reaching
their present authorized manpower
ceilings through voluntary recruit
ing.
The only real argument over the
bill the House passed yesterday
centers around an 1922 ,000, 900 item.
The rest of the money-in actual
cash and contract authority-was
asked by Mr.. Forrestal himself.
He proposed it as an advance
against next years funds to permit
the Air Force and the Nays Bureau
of Aeronautics to step up their
plane buying programs at once.
When debate opened in the House
yesterday, Chairman Taber of the
Appropriations Committee presented
the 1922 ,000, 900 amendment because,
he said. "of the seeming preponder-
ant sentiment in favor of the item
at this time"
Lesser Figure Adequate.
Mr.. Taber said original figures
showed that an extra $922, 2,000, 900
would be needed to raise the Air
Force from its present 55 groups to
10. But he termed the lesser figure
adequate to approach 70-group
force, thoroughly modernized."
Representative Gore. Democrat,
of Tennessee attempted to add the
S100, 100000 dropped by Mr.. Taber,
but his amendment lost, "a to 40.
Mr.. Taber's was then voted, lis to 0.
Representative Cannon, Demo-
crat, of Missouri also deplored the
reduction, saying this is no time to
cheese-pare on the most important
arm of our national defense"
Representative Vinson, Democrat,
of Georgia told the House. how
ever, the extra 1922, ,O00, 900 is merely
the beginning" of a five-year pro-
gram. The total Air Force appro-
priation next year will have to be
81, ,73S, ,9s9 ,999, he said,, the following
year S3,303, 100000, and every year
thereafter s3,200,000,000.
Voting against the bill were Rep

Persons from the Russian vessel
which anchored off the canal went

"They made contact with known
Russian agents and with leading
Communists. 1t is notable that the
bank accounts of some of the
agents" he continued, showed an
appreciable increase after the visit
Mr.. Thomas added:
1--WE have only Is anti aircraft

on each side-are fully manned"
I'VE have no searchlights. The
mine fields are not laid. Many
of the mines are not in good con-
