nouneed today by Walter White,
NAACP secretary as "vicious
device, calculated to incite race
hatred
The move was made in response
to a court order to equalize school
facilities in the county after at
torneys for the National Assocoa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People had won suit to
compel the county to provide
facilities for Negro children equal
to those offered white boys and
girls.
In our drive for equalization"
Mr.. White said, I'VE are not ask
ing for downward revision of
facilities and opportunities. We
do not wish to deprive white
youth of a decent education. Our
demand is for raising the standard
of education for both Negro and
white students. This objective can
be attained only through the
abolition of the cumbersome and
uneeonomieal system of segregat-
ed education BY resorting to this
device, calculated to incite race
hatred, the King George County

| Seattle Dock Strikers
Vote Down Red 0aths
And Employers Offer
BY the Asseeioisd Press

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 10.-The
first tabulation of votes from the
striking CIO longshoremen's elec-
ton today overwhelmingly ordered
their leaders not to sign non
Communist affidavits and to reject
the West Coast employers last offer
long since withdrawn.
The first tabulation came from
Seattle, where the union announced
vote of 1,468 to 10 against its
leaders signing the affidavits. Lead
ers of the union are continuing the
tabulation today.
Water front and shipping employees
announced when the strike began
last week that they would no longer
negotiate with unions whose Of
ficers refused to sign non-Commu-
mist afidavits as required for serv-
ices OF the National Labor Relations
Board.
Wage Offer Rejected.
Seattle's longshoremen also voted
1,467 to Is against accepting the
last offer of the employers, which
would have granted straight time
hourly wage increase OF 10 cents.
The union demanded . 15-cent
raise to $1.82 an hour.
Meanwhile, longshoremen re-
turned to work at terminals oper-
ated by the port of Bellingham,
Wash, under an interim agreement
by which the union said its men
were receiving a 15-cent hourly in
crease. Several Puget Sound inde-
pendents have made such agree
ments.
The strike entered its ninth day
with the longshoremen and allied
seafaring unions and the shipping
and waterfront employers associa-
tions in major ports standing firm.
Plans to Resume Bargaining.
Harry Bridges, president Of the
longshore union, said he would offer
TO resume negotiations after all
votes in the coastwise union elec-
tion are tailed.
AS 160 ships remained tied up
and 10000 maritime workers idle,
both sides awaited a decision on
what the Army will do about load
ing its supplies destined for Pacific
bases. The longshore union said
the Army has not agreed to pay
regular longshoremen the wages
they are asking of employers, and
has threatened to use troops to
load military cargoes.
The union telegraphed a protest
to President Truman against any
strike breaking tactics" by Army
or civil service personnel.
