Edwin v. Byrne, D. D., Catholic
Archbishop of Santa Fe, has
voiced his approval of two bills
pending in the New Mexico legis-

"As American citizens" the
Archbishop declared. I'VE can
neither be content with SNUG as
surances that social disturbances
such as race discrimination will
right themselves without efforts
on our part. Nor can we allow
either the racial idiosyncrasies of
a Hitler or the class-conscious-
ness of a Stain to have any play
on our minds and hearts,"
The Archbishop declared that
"all Negro children who wish
have a place in the Catholic
schools of the archdiocese.

Whites Cheer Dolby, Paige
In Houston, Texas

HOUSTON. -(ANP)-Cen-
terflelder Larry Dolby took his
bat in his hand and battered the
daylights out of a bird named Jim
Crow last week during the Cleve-
land Indians swing through Tex
as.
Both white and black fans
couldn't restrain themselves when
Larry dispatched a 440-foot hon.
er over the centerfield fence to
become the second man in history
to send one over that section of
the wall In Buff Stadium. Back
in 1929, the late Hack Wilson,
then playing with the Chicago
Cubs. performed that feat, but he
couldn't have received any more
cheers than Larry Dolby.
Previously in the second heat,
the record 1898 fans forgot
themselves and Doby's race when
he smashed out screaming dou-
BILE that went into the crowd. AL
though the New York Giants got
the best of the Indians pitching
staff, composed of Early Wynn
and Satchel Paige, the ancient
one received his quota of cheers
from the crowd, which didn't see
him at his seasons best.
The Satch pitched four innings.
gave up seven hits but struck out
three. He was credited with the
defeat.

POSTAL BOOST
IS OPPOSED

WASHINGTON = Representa-
i've Mack lR-wash.) said a pro
posed increase in mailing rates
would greatly weaken most OF
Americas i0.50o weekly news
papers. Many would have to quit
publishing, he added.
Mack called attention of the
House IN the Congressional Rec
ord. to bills that would increase
The postage rate on these papers
from one cent a pound TO four
cents. He said that. In addition
to the 400 per cent increase. II
the newspapers devoted as much
as 90 per cent of their space
to advertising there would be an
additional two cents a pound
charged for them.
Few weeklies can survive with
less than SO per cent advertising,
Mack commented. Thus for them
the one-cent rate would be In
creased to six cents pound. and
II is provided the rates will be
raised again next year. he said.
"The administration has COM
planned very bitterly about some
manufacturers and producers hay-
ing raised their prices too much"
Mack continued. 81 can think Of
no business, however. which has
imposed 600 to 800 per cent In
crease In its prices, such as the
Post Office department now de-
sires to do.
eff the electric companies were
10 increase their rates by 900 per
cent to six times what the rates
are now, | imagine most people
would discontinue using electric
lights and go back to the candle,
the oil lamp, or some other way
of providing light in their homes"
He said weekly newspapers
probably would follow the same
policy and hire boys to deliver
their papers.
