Chattanooga, Tenn. Mar. 9. -
The advocates of white supre-
macy at Southern polls are en-

their efforts to bar Negroes from

alton of analogous wording, legal

''The significance is clear for
those who wish to See it." the
council asserted. "Our courts are
no longer satisfied to Judge con-
tested laws by their literal mean
ling. They are equally interested
an what a law is really supposed
to do and what it actually does"
"The outlook is dark for those
who would deprive citizens or
their rights to vote by shrewd
juggling and language. The con-

still yer ymucch alive
The council declared hat in the
last eight years in cases involving
Negro suffage in the South "the
shift has been away from legal
ism and its concern with words,
and towards humanism and its con-
Germ with people"

Federal Control Probable Next Year 10 Hold

WASHINGTON. Sept. 9-tR-The government today estimated this years corn crop at 3,525, TAI. 900 bushels~-a figure which virtually assures federal controls next year to hold down production.
 A crop of. this size would ee far in excess of prospective needs and would add to big surplus of the livestock feed grain resulting from last years record of 3.650 ,00o, 900 bushels.
 While no decision Is expected until later in the year. controls probably would be limited to acre. age planting allotments aimed at limiting the 1850 crop to about 3.000. .00O, 900 bushels.
 Today's corn estimate = by the Agriculture Departments crop re- porting board-is slightly over 12.- )C0,000 bushels less than was fore cast month ago Inasmuch as the growing season has passed it's peak, the new estimate is expected to be fairly close to the final figure.
 The wheat estimate was virtually unchanged from month ago, when the fourth largest crop was esti- mated.

(RIpp5 GIVES HIS
 SOLUTION, BRIT.
 FINANCIAL CRISIS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9-tR-Sir Stafford Cripps declared today that the "only satisfactory solution" tor Britain's economic plight is to sell enough goods for dollars to become self-supporting.
 Britain's Chancellor of the Ex- chequer made that statement in a speech prepared for National Press Club luncheon.
 Indicating British acceptance of American advice to streamline sell ing techniques, he said that "on the question of exports to dollar markets, I believe that there is a most urgent need for more inten- sive salesmanship."
 Sir Stafford pictured the solution of his country's economic crisis as essential for the coordinated politi- cal and military strength of the West in it's struggle with Con- munism.
 He said that Secretary of State Acheson and British Foreign Min ister Bevin have made remarkable progress" toward building the Vest ern political and defense structure but added:
 "All this progress will be in vain if we fail to provide a sound eco homie basis for these combined efforts of the free Democracies."
 The twin themes of Cripp's add ress were hard work for the British people in their struggle to live on their income and hope for success in the British American Canadian financial talks which opened here Wednesday.
 These talks, Cripps reported, "have opened in an atmosphere of mutual determination to bring some more permanent solution so as to avoid these recurring crisis in the dollar sterling relationship"

STEEL STRIKE
 MAY BE AvERTED

NEW YORK, Sept. 9-R-The New York Post Home News said today there are strong indications that the steel fact-finding boards report to the President will avert a national steel strike.
 But neither the steel industry nor the CIO Steelworkers Union will like the boards recommendation Murray Kempton wrote for the newspaper in reviewing what he called an apparently solid version of the guarded report.
 On the main point pay and eenefits-Kempton said the board is likely to ask the steel com panies to grant a l0-cents- -an-hour package. in contrast to the 3O- cents-an-hour demanded by the union.
 Only a small part of this would show up in wages, with most of the raise going for pensions and medi- cal insurance, Kempton said.

SALMON PACK, }. E. ALASKA,
 RECORD ONE.

SEATTLE. Sept. 9-R South east Alaska's sa-mon pack for the week ended Sept was 739,268 cases.

The total Alaska pack at the same time last year was 3,737,675 and the final total was 3,974,540 cases. But there was no such closing rush in the Southeast area last year.
