For Transfer Of
|Cardozo School
Board of Education
To Hear Analysis Of
Corning Plan Later

Colored members of the Board
of Education today opened new
fight to get Central High School
transferred to relieve overcrowd-
ing at the colored Cardozo High
School. claiming there was little
chance of getting a new Cardozo
any time soon.
The school boards meeting
room at Franklin School was
packed with citizens as the boards
Buildings and Grounds Committee
began consideration of School
Supt. Hobart M. Corning's recon-
mendations on how to solve the
Cardozo problem.
After meeting all morning, the
board committee voted to adjourn
until future date to continue
consideration of DR.. Corning's
plan. At that time an impartial
educator will be brought before
the board to analyze DIR. Corning's
plan. DR.. Phillip T. johnson, COL
ored board member, announced.
Corning Opposes Transfer.
DR.. Corning has recommended
against any transfer of Central
High School. Instead, he said,
the Park View Elementary School,
now half occupied. should be used
as an annex to Cardozo and some
500 Cardozo girls transferred
there. Any transfer of Central
would make it impossible for the
school board to ask for a new
Cardozo or a new Armstrong High
School. he said.
Mrs. Velma Williams. a colored
board member, declared:
II don't give rap if we never
get new Cardozo as long as the
children's needs are met now.
There is no argument against the
transfer of Central to Cardoso
students"
Mrs. Williams said it would be
silly thing" to go to Congress
and ask for a new Cardozo with all
the vacancies which now exist in
the white high schools.
1--WE don't stand a chance Of
getting new Cardozo any time
soon." she declared.
Report Called Inaccurate.
DR.. johnson also stated that
he did not consider it "a major
tragedy to accept one building
now and lose one in the future"
DR.. johnson made long at
tack on the recommendation pre-
sented by DR.. Corning. stating his
report was inaccurate and un-
sound educationally. He said it
would split up the Cardozo stu
dent body, ruin school spirit. de-
stroy the girls cadet corps and
would not solve anything. He said
DR.. Corning had not taken into
consideration the fact that en-
rollment at the colored high
schools would increase In the next
few years.
"Cardozo must be abandoned"
DR.. johnson declared. "The prob
lem will not be solved by a trans
fer of pupils here and there"
DR.. johnson said the triple shift
which Cardozo must use now has
resulted in the school having the
Lowest holding power in the coun-
try-that is. more students drop
out Of school than in any other
school in the country
Before the board committee be-
gan debating the question, it an
nounced that nearly 60 kilograms
and letters had been received op-
posing the use of Park View as an
annex to Cardozo. Three speakers
appeared also in opposition-Da-
vid E. Wells, of the Pleasant
Plains Civic Association; James
c. Ellis, of the Park View Parent
Teacher Association, and Gardner
L. Bishop, of the Consolidated
Parent Group. Mr.. Wells and Mr..

Picket Signs Now
Identify Chicago
Newspaper Seabs

Chicago. Identification OF
strikebreaking typists by name and
address on union picket signs has
proved effective in the Internation-
al Typographical Unions strike
against the major Chicago daily
newspapers.
Since the printers struck on Nov,
"a, 1947, the papers have continued
to publish, substituting for NOV
able type a new process. Typists
write stories in flush columns on
varitype machines. The stories are
then pasted up into pages, the
pages are photographed, and the
picture is printed.
Three weeks ago, the union be-
gan experimenting with picket
ing technique beamed directly at
the varitypists who were scabbing
on the union printers. Though be-
gun on a small scale, it will be ex-
tended if the publishers persist in
their stubborn resistance to the
unions demands, said John Colbert,
strike committeeman.
The experiment began with the
varitypists in only one department
of one newspaper, the classified ad-
vertising department of the Chic
ago Tribune, biggest and richest Of
the struck papers.
Varitypists crossing the pickets'
line of march in front Of the Tri-
bune Tower one fine morning saw
their names and addresses in large
type on the pickets' signs, along
with Jack London's definition of a
scab.
A husband who saw his wife's
name on picket sign asked the
pickets if they would remove it if
he went into the building and
brought her out. They would. He
did.
Several varitypists quit outright.
Several others reported themselves
i'll, and did not show up for work.
The Tribune, self-styled champ
ion of freedom of the press, COM
planned bitterly when the union
turned on the pressure with pick
citing and card-passing campaign
near the homes of few selected
varitypists.
Still going strong after Is
months, the printers strike is pro-
badly the longest continuous strike
of its size by any skilled craft in
history, although the same local
unions strike against the huge
Donnelly printing house, begun in
1905, never has been called off of
Issues of wages and jurisdiction
are still the principal obstacles to
settlement of the strike against
the dailies.

pay attention to minute details.
In allied fields, such as medicine
women are finding an ever enlarg-
ing place.
Women technicians in medical
circles are common. In blood banks
too, where the utmost care is nee
essary-where a slip may cost lives
women are doing remarkable
work 1t is an interesting fact that
serums are forming a growing by
product of blood bank work and
that in the making of these serums
some of the most vital operations
are performed by women.
There appears to be no limit to
the heights that can be reached by
women, for in few other fields, if
any, is ability the measure of pro-
gress. 1t is something big to be a
Madame Curie, but in organized
chemistry groups results often
count for most. Here there is no
limit, short of ability to get right
results

PhiIIy Transit
Workers Win &C.;
Strike Is Ended

Philadelphia (LPA)-A ten-day
strike Of Transport Workers Union
ended here last week when the
900 workers involved voted over
whelmingly to accept an SC raise
from the Philadelphia Transporta-
tion Co.
The decision to accept the &c was
! in response to an appeal from
ITWU President Michael j. Quill
who declared that the offer would
be the best they could get. Some
times you have got to take half
loaf or less to make an advance"
Quill told a meeting of $500 strik-
ers. Employers all over America
are claiming the cost Of living is
toppling. | say we should grab
every cent we can get now because
we may not be able to get any
thing later under the present
trend" The new raise brings the
total four-round gains of the tran
sit workers to 48c.
In addition to the employer re-
sistance on wages, the local was
faced with the threat Of state leg
islation outlawing transportation
strikes. An amendment to the Pub
lie Utilities Disputes Act is pend
ing in the Pennsylvania legislature.
Altho the local negotiating COM
mittee recommended settlement of
the strike, there was a minority
led by the local executive board
urging that the walkout continue.
Original demands included a 25c
raise and abolishment of the "split
run" under which some employees
work only morning and evening
rush hours and are not paid for the
time between.
Immediately after the settle
ment, the PTC asked the State
Public Utility Commission to ap-
prove 13c fare. Present fares are
10c on street cars and subways and
13c on buses.

New York (LPA)-The General
Electric Co., largest electrical pro-

last week that it would oppose de-
mands by the United Electrical,
Radio & Machine Workers for a
fourth round wage increase.
Lemuel R. Boulware, employe

a wage increase at this time.
"The company" he said, "is
more thoroughly convinced than
ever that wage increases would
have a bad effect on the welfare
of all workers and the whole econ
omy.
The Electrical Workers, tradi-
tional pattern settlers for the indus
try, also are demanding an improv-
ed welfare and pension plan and a
shorter work-week. The demands
were prepared here at a meeting of
the UE conference board, COM
posed of local leaders representing
over 100000 workers.

WHAT'S COOKIN'?

A great time saver in the kitch
en- is frozen orange juice. Due to {
| Ehigh-vacuum process perfected just
before the war, the juice and pulI
of an orange can be so concentrat-
ed that the fresh orange taste car
be restored merely by adding
water.
The ordinary canned orange
juice always tasted canned" be-
cause it is necessary to use heat in
the canning process. The heat ma
turally destroys some of the vitam-
ins and affects the flavors. The
frozen variety of orange juice has
proven so popular that the produc-
ers are now experimenting with
grapefruit, tangerine and lime con-
centrates.
The color of the shell of an egg
is no clue to the quality of the egg.
In some markets white eggs cost
from to 10 cents a dozen more
than brown shell ones and in New
England the reverse is often true.
Quality in eggs is a matter of
breeding, management of flocks
and care of eggs after laying. The
best buy in eggs may be white,
brown, or a mixture of the two.
\ !. !.
Canned corn is now in good sup
ply and offers fuel or energy value
and combines we'll with such pro-
tein foods as eggs, cheese and meat
for main dish. For best results
cook corn as quickly as possible,
and use all the liquid from the can.
A tasty luncheon dish made of can
ned corn is as follows:
Brown tblspns. flour in heavy
skillet. Blend with 8 tblspns. melt
ed fat. Brown a small onion in l
tblspn. fat, and add to this 2 cups
canned tomatoes, 2 cups canned
corn, 4 lb. sharp cheese shaved
thin and 2 tspns. salt. Thicken with
flour mixture and serve on toast.
