In considering whether judicial
enforcement Of restrictive covenants
is the kind Of governmental action
which the first section of the Civil
Rights Act of 1866 was intended to
prohibit, reference must be made
to the scope and purposes Of the
fourteenth amendment; for that
statute and the amendment were
closely related both in inception and
in the objectives which Congress
sought to achieve

amendment were expressions of the
same general congressional policy.
Indeed, as the legislative debates
reveal, one of the primary purposes
OF many members of Congress in

guarantees of the Civil Rights Act

VETO OF TRUMAN
 UPHELD

WASHINGTON, May 21-tR-The Senate today upheld President Tru- mans veto of bill which would have permitted qualified Senators to order an FBI investigation of key atomic energy appointees.
 The vote was 47 to override and 29 against.
 The action kills the bill.
 MT. Truman had called the meas ure wholly unnecessary and un- wise" He said it's enactment would be 'an unwarranted encroachment of the legislative upon the execu- tive branch" of the government. He term it impractical in disapprov- ing it last Saturday.
 The Chief Executive said he fully recognizes his obligation to obtain the facts about anyone he names to the atomic posts. Every facility available, including the FBI, is utilized to obtain those facts, ne said.
 The Senate originally passed the bill April 12 by voice vote. The House approved it May : ov. unani- nous consent.

$fW,oOO E BID, CITY FIRE HALL,
 JAIL BUILDING

The City of Juneau probably won't have it's new combined Fire Hall and Jail for some time to come although taxpayers voted S125,00O recently for that purpose in a special city election.
 Bids were opened at City Hall this morning on the new building and only one offer was received. The R. J. Sommers Construction Co.,, of Juneau, submitted a bid ot $l8O,ooO for the project. The con- pany explained that building costs have risen g percent in the last year and considerably more since two years ago when it was estimated that a new Fire Hall would cos $8SC00.
 The previous plans had called for only a Fire Hall without Jail and had been different in other details. It was explained that the jail would cost only about Sl5,o0o extra on the building and those present at the bid opening were agreed that there was no way in which the sommers estimate could to shaved.
 The City Council will act on the bid at it's meeting tonight and is expected to reject it.

300 ALASKA TROOPS ARE
 UNQUALIFIED
Army Will Return Men fo States Sent 10 North
 by Mistake

FORT LEWIS, May 21-lR- Three hundred men recently sent from Fort Lewis to Alaska should never have been sent to the north ern outpost and they will be re- turned here by mid-July, the army announced today.
 Lt Col. Frank c. Mandell, 2nd Division Personnel Officer, said the men, one-seventh of the contingent rushed to Alaska on War Depart ment orders two months ago, were unfitted, unsuited or ineligible for such an assignment.
 Some, Colonel Mandell said, had not been in the States the required 12 months after return from over seas duty; some had signed up at enlistment for duty in the States only. and others were doing work for which they were unfitted or untrained.
 The Colonel cited examples for men trained for specialist duties being assigned to rifle platoons.
 It couldn't be helped, he pointed out, as the officials in Washington ordered the far understrength 2nd Division to send 2,l00 men to Alas ka, and that was the only way we could do it.
 Requirements for the 300 men will be sent to Alaska from posts all over the United States.

NEW MOVEMENT OF ATA GROWING
 IN IMPORTANCE

In a recent report made by the
 Alaska Tuberculosis Association,
 it was stated that the Association s
 Decentralization Movement, started
 year ago, has had splendid re-
 suits. Specifically in all Alaskan
 towns Of any size, groups have been
 formed to sponsor the annual
 Christmas seal sale. The sponsoring group, by special arrangement with
 the Association, may retain 20 per cent of the local receipts for local use in connection with tuberculosis and it's problems Last year Fair banks, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Seward and Wrangell took advantage of this offer. The funds retained by them provided transportation for patients entering sanatoriums; food and lodging for he same enroute; supplies needed in cases of home care; provided clothing for children whose parents were tuberculous pa tients; and by way of preven- tion. gave food and vitanines to children. In Seward, among other activities, lunches were 2iven Hope residents arriving there fer the mass X-ray survey and in addition 24 bed lamps were ordered for Seward Sanatorium. Because of the success of the plan, eight more towns have now joined the move ment and. will be ready to report activities at the end of the next fiscal year
 Mrs. Bess Winn, Executive Secre- tary of the Association, states that many of the above expenditures rightly belong to the welfare office hut that since adequate relief funds are not available, the Association is trying to provide some temporary aid. However" she adds, this ap- palling lack of relief funds has created as much of crisis in the program as it has in other fields.
 Too often" she says, fathers and mothers refuse to enter hospi- tals because if they do there is no one to care for the children" So, concluded Mrs Winn, until we have sufficient welfare funds to pro- vide aid for dependents orphaned 5y tuberculosis, the whole program is jeopardized."
