EIks Petition Legislators To
Pass Segregation Bills

Last Tuesday night in a regular
meeting, VIM. H. Patterson Lodge
of Elks endorsed the petitioning of
members of the 10Th Legislature,
urging them to vote for the pas
sage of both the civil rights and
the public school bills. Both bills
have been introduced in this ses-
sion.
The petition reads as follows:
Senators and Representatives of
10Th Legislature of Arizona
Dear Sirs:
The William H. Patterson Lodge
No. ATT, I. B. P. o. E. of w. re-
quests your support of H.B. 1874,
commonly referred to as the Civil
Rights Bill, which would abolish
racial discrimination in theatres,
restaurants and all other public
places; and H.B. 229, which would
abolish segregation in our public
schools.
Neither of these Bills propose
any chance in Arizona's concept
of Democracy. Both propose put
ting into practice this concept
which is deeply rooted in The Bill
of Rights and was urged by the
voters in the last Presidential
election.
Arizona sun., 1949-02-25

It is our conviction that our
Government can not hope to enjoy
a security greater than it extends
to all of its citizens. Arizona has
several racial minorities who are
important to our economic, politi-
cal, and social welfare; it is es-
sential that all of these people en-
Joy the rights and privileges of
citizenship that are now enjoyed
by only one powerful racial group.
Any evasion of the principal and
practice of equality of citizenship
is undemocratic and unchristian.
Such evasions make hollow
mockery of the Bill of Rights and
our profession of Democracy, and
will inevitably become a challenge
to our integrity and honesty of
purpose.
Every American must be a free
American if we hope to success
fully combat the encroachments of
Communism and other subversives
about which we are now concerned
nationally.
Yours truly,
GLENN o. MALLORY,
Secretary.

master for the Arizona Brewing
Company, Inc. and one of the

Capitol Dome Casts Shadow Of Jimcrow
Some Negro History, 1949 Model
BY Mel Fiske

A bomb-like report that ripped
into the rotton foundations of seq
regation against 100000 Negro
residents of the nations capitol
several weeks ago hasn't been felt
yet by the House and Senate COM
mitteeS which run the city.
Committee members are care
fully Skirting around the gaping
wounds opened by 81 prominent
Americans whose report on segre-
cation in Washington last Decem-
Der blasted the United States gov
ernment for upholding the system
of segregation against the city's
Negro population.
Put on the spot by this commit
tee side-stepping is President Tru-
man and the Democratic party.
The chairman of the party is Sen.
J. Howard McGrath (D-RD who
is also chairman of the Senate Dis
trict of Columbia committee, post
that makes him mayor of the city.
Heading up the House committee
is Rep. John L. Mcmillan (D-SC).
Aides in both their committees
say they have no knowledge of the
report and it's contents. But both
committee chairmen have been
around Washington long enough to
know about the jim-crow system
that hits every Negro resident and
every Negro visitor.
Blame is Placed
The report of the National Com
mittee on Segregation in the Ma
tion's Capitol reveals that this
system is fostered deliberately by
the Washington Board of Trade
and big business interests as
matter of good business policy.
"The segregation of the Negro
is planned as matter of good
business" the committee charged.
"It is not the poor whites who set
the pattern, but men of acknow-
lodged culture and refinement, the
leaders of the community.
"Allied against the Negro in this
doubtful enterprise, in spite of con-
trary ideals and professions, is the
full majesty of the United States
government" the committee en-
phasized.
The committee that rendered this
indictment is headed by DR.. George
N. Shuster, president of New
York's Hunter College, and includes
such persons as Mrs. Eleanore
Roosevelt, Philip Murray, Helen
Hayes, Marshall Field and Kene-
saw M. Lands, End author of the
report.
Responsibility for maintaining
the Negro people in bondage is the
governments, the committee said.
"It is responsible because it, and
it alone, has the power to break
the chains that bar a quarter of
million Negroes in Washington
from their equal rights as Ameri-4
cans" the committee charged.
Indictment Charged
"Worse, tn government has
helped to make the chains. It's dis

River Flows to Sea
But Water is Short

The Colorado River Basin, ex-
tending two-thirdS the width of the
United Safes from Wyoming to
Mexico, is the "last waterhole" of
the nation. It is the last frontier
for national economic development.
In this area lies one-Sixth of the
nations coal reserves; more unde-
veloped oil shales than in all the
rest of the United States. It con-
tains great undeveloped iron de-
poSitS, the largest magnesium de-
posits of the nation; it produces
and contains great reserves of cop
per, silver and gold.
People are moving south and
west.
The Colorado River is the ma
tion's greatest potential power pro-
ducer. With power, people and re-
sources, the future development of
the Colorado Basin promises to be
beyond imagination.
The possibilities through develop
ment of the Colorado River are so
tremendous that the current quar-
rel between water users in the
lower basin seems almost foolish
were it not that the selfish in
terests of a few threaten the de-
velopment of the entire Colorado
Basin for another generation.
If we examine underlying facts
of the current Colorado contro-
versy we can see that this is true.
First we must go back a few
million years, because it is i'm
portant to remember that what we
now call the Gulf of California
once covered what we now know
as the Imperial Valley. Then the
Colorado River built new deltas,
changed its course to new gulf,
leaving the great Lake Cahuilla,
which receded into what is now
the Salton Sea. We must remem-
ber that the bottom of Lake Ca
huilla was an ocean bottom" of
clay, salt, shells and gravel with
a sandy beach on the east. Later,
during periodic floods, the Col
orado overflowed its new course
and generously deposited fertile
silt in the bottom of the old bed
of Lake Cahuil1a. 1t deposited
about 100000 acres of the finest
soil in the world, rich in minerals
from the Colorado Basin.
Waters Were Apportioned
About the turn of the century
men came and built a canal from
the Colorado to irrigate this fer
tile soil in what they called I'm
perial Valley and they built an
agricultural empire of which the
Southwest can well be proud.
But their building was not with
out tragedy. The Colorado is an
unpredictable river. It brok e
through it's banks time and again
and flooded out the men who were
farming Imperial Valley. Some
times it almost ceased flowing al
together. They cried for a control
of the water.
About this same time an engineer
in the City of Los Angeles pro-
NOTED an idea for bringing water
by aqueduct from the Colorado
River to supply what he believed
would be the largest city in the
world.
Together the water districts pro-
posed the construction of a dam on
the Colorado River to control the
water for irrigating farms, for
supplying water to cities, and to
generate electric power.
They found that the river did
not belong to California for them
to do with as they chose. They
found that the river belonged to
the seven basin states of the Col
orado river and before any project

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.ltR- The Air Force will begin Arctic tests of adio-controlled bombs and VI flying buzz bombs in Alaska next month.
 It was announced today that tests at Ladd Air Base will involve use of the 12,000-pound "Tarzon,' the 1,000-p pound "Razon,' and the American model of the buzz bomb used by the Germans against Lon don in World War Two.
 The "Tarzon" and the "Razon" are dropped from planes in the conventional manner and are class ed as free falling" wever, through radio devices operating the fins their fall can be affected and the bomb steered toward a target.
 The buzz bomb is powered, has rudimentary wings and can be launched from ground installations, or from a plane, and flys to it's tar get.
 The Air Force saia that in the Alaska tests the radio-controlled bombs will be dropped from B-29 bombers and the buzz bombs will be launched from the superfortresses.

CARL J. L0MEN IN WASHINGTON
 TO GET 5EAWALl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-lR-- Carl J. Lomen, Alaska businessman, has arrived to push for appropria- tion of S1,020,0O0 for starting con- struction of seawall to protect Nome, Alaska, from storms.
 That amount was recommended by President Truman in his budget for the year starting July l.
 Lomen, President of the Lomen Commercial Company of Nome, said he would urge the House Appro- priations committee to allow the full amount.
 The s2,25000O project was au- thorized by the last Congress in it's closing days. No appropriation has been made
 Lomen said he is anxious to see work get under way in time to pro- tect Nome from fall storms. The project has been approved by the Army engineers, who will con- struct the seawall. They have said that s1.O20.000 is all they can use during the next fiscal year.

WELLE5 NOT
 TO LOSE HIS
 HANDS, FEET
New Treatment for Frost bites Developed IS
 Used by Specialist

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28-tR- A recently developed treatment for severe frostbite was credited today with saving Sumner Welles from possible loss of his hands and feet.
 The 56-year- former Undersec- retary of State was found uncon- scious and frostbitten early Dec. 26 in a snow-flecked field that bordered a stream near his Oxon Hill, Md, estate.
 Now, after use of the treatment by a specialist, he is reported ap- parently free of any danger of amputation and about ready to leave the hospital.
 At the hospital, Dr. R. J. Veal, a vascular surgeon, prescribed this treatment:
 Welles was placed in an unheat- ed room. Cold packs were applied to his frosthitten limbs; whirlpool baths were used to massage affect ed muscles and joints; and peni- cillin was injected to prevent blist- ering. The drug heparin also was used to prevent blood clotting, and encourage circulation. This wards off gangrene that might make am- putation necessary.
