the presidency.
This papers statewide poll
during February and March
showed less than two per cent of
Negro voters claiming party al
legiance. It showed, also, that a
majority Of that two per cent IA
vored candidates outside the par
ties to which they pledged their
loyalty.
Those interviewed were asked
For whom do you prefer to vote
In the next election for governor
Of minnesota" The question was
phrased that way in an effort 70
avoid possible confusion over who
will be the Republican nominee.
The results were /:
Youngdahl .................~..60.5To

"other than Youngdahl" 1876
Although the question was not
part Of the prepared poll, several
respondents were asked the names
Of the candidates for governor.
Eighty-three per cent Of those
asked knew that Youngdahl and
King were contesting for the Re-
publican nomination. Only IT'S
per cent could name another seek
err Of the Office.
Didn't Know D.F.L. Candidates
II was surprising that those in
terviewed were so little aware of
the candidacy Of D.F.L. candidate
Charles Halsted and Progressive
candidate Walter johnson. One
voter said well, guess I'll vote
the Democratic ticket" but he
did not know who the governor
candidate was. The others who
were opposed to Youngdahl and
not sure Of King merely insisted
that it would be somebody be-
sides Youngdahl."
Against Governor ON Liquor Stand
OF the total 20 per cent who
committed themselves against, or
for some candidate other than
Youngdahl, Ia per cent gave the
Governors activities with regard
to liquor regulations as their rea-
son for opposition. Several ex-
pressed the belief that young
dahl is trying to get prohibition
again"
Two per cent thought there still
was something Gov. Youngdahl
could do about the Jim Crow Ma
tional Guard in Minnesota.
The following results were OBJ
tanned to the question do you

OF Conversation
By Charles D. Rowe

One of the most common topics
Of conversation today when house
wives get togetheT-and also some
times with the mems the high cost
of living It has the careful housewife
at her wits end. while the wage
Garner. despite his high wages
wonders where the dollars are com
ing from to feed and clothe his
big growing family of healthy young
sters. And all this causes d lot Of
speculation land argument as 10
just what IS responsible for this
sorry mess.
There are numerous explanations.
We have all heard the one TO the
effect that where there is d great
amount of money in the pockets Of
the people and a real scarcity Of
goods high prices are sure to fol
loW-because there are not enough
goods to 90 round and the heavy
demand bids up the price. There
fore. it requires more dollars to buy
d certain article and we say the
dollar becomes cheap-that it buys
less.
Today the dollar is the cheapest
il has been in 165 years according
to Samuel B Pettengill, former
Democratic congressman Compared
to pre-War. today's dollar will buy
IS cents worth of food, 81 cents
worth Of clothing, and 81 cents
worth Of the general cost of living
In some countries money has be-
come so cheap it is worthless. People
won't pick it off the city dump.
Now let's consider the question Of
supply-of scarcity of those things
people need and want One author
ity says:
The number of cattle in America
is now the lowest in five years;
spring pigs. the lowest in seven
years; mutton. the lowest in 10
years. Cattle are off 6 nillion head;
hogs are off q million head and
sheep are off 20 million head That
is partly due to a short corn crop
last year, but many students Of
the problem claim it is partly due to
O. p A. price controls, which made
livestock and poultry raising less
profitable
With a population of lab million
we have only the number Of cattle
we had when there were only ITO
million people-and the number Of
sheep has been cut a third
This same scarcity one finds in
respect to meat has been common
in many other lines 1t all has
powerful bearing on the cost of liv
ing.

taxes one pays are not the only
ones. bat there are also the hidden

add a great deal To the drain on the

Taxes are paid in the sweat Of

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2
President Truman has signed H. r.
1856. the JACL-sponsored alien de-
portation suspension bill, thereby
eliminating another racially dis
criminatory feature from U. S. i'm
migration statutes, the Washington
office of the JACL Anti-Discrimin-
alton Committee reveals. The mea-
sure was approved by Congress on
June 10 and sent to the White House
three days later.
With the Presidents signature,
hundreds of Japanese aliens fac
ing deportation are given another
extension to remain in this country
with their citizen children and
wives. Under provisions of the bill,
permanent suspension of cancella-
ton of their deportation will not be-
come effective until Congress has
acted affirmatively in each case.
The most important feature of the
law. however is that provision which
enables japanese aliens for the first
time to enjoy privileges heretofore
Granted only to Europeans and
classes who are eligible to citizen
ship.

they made good on that vow is
now down in the record books.
Backing up highgrade pitching
with strong defensive work and a
power-laden attack, the Vets left
no doubt in anybody's mind that
they were the best team in the tour

hammered White River into SUBJ
mission 15-4, to hand pitcher Mas
Nakamichi his second straight VIC
tory over the same team. The Vets
actually scored total of 81 runs
IN the abbreviated game, but since
White River did not complete It's
half of the sixth inning, the count
reverted to the score at the end OF
the fifth inning, 15-4
In the semifinai round, the Nj
sci Vets faced Fife, leading team
of the NV league and 10-1 conquer
ors of Spokane in the opening round
of play. Fife put up game bat
tie, but went down $50 as the pow
erful batting punch of the Vets
crashed through for three runs in
the third frame and five more ir
the fourth to drive Joe Asahara tc
cover and put the game on ice. The
cannonading continued against q
tired Ben Yoshida, who was touch
ed for single run in the seventh
inning and big six runs in the
eighth. Meanwhile, George "Joker'
Shimizu was holding Fife at bay
with the finest pitching exhibition
of the tournament. The Joker al.
lowed Fife single in each of the
first two innings. then pitched Sc
ven straight innings of no-hit bal
to finish up the game, setting ter
batters down on strikes. Incidental
