National Conference of Chris

personal appearances to congrat-
ulate the city commissioners
upon the enactment of the bill
drawn by Abe Aronovitz, local
attorney.

operating in this area.
The new ordinance prohibits
the wearing of masks or any
thing to conceal the identity;
prohibits the entrance on the
premises of any other person
while wearing a mask; prohibits
the burning of fiery crosses; and
prohibits masked meetings of the
Ku Klux Khan or any other
hooded organization.
The commissions action was
prompted by the burning of fiery
crosses before the Miami Shores
Community Church and the
home of Negro Minister Edward
Graham who had been invited
to deliver a sermon there in
commemoration of Brotherhood
Week and efforts of local civic
groups to ban activities of hate
groups.
The ordinance carries a maxi
mum of $500 and/or so days in
the city Jail.
The law eXempts persons
wearing traditional holiday
masks and costumes during a
holiday period, children under II
masking in ''the spirit of levity"
or wearing the mask in a circus
or play.
Mayor Robert Floyd suggested
an amendment which would
have exempted social events
such as masquerade parties, but
this was rejected at the suggest
ion of Attorney Burnett. Roth,
who was representing the Jewish
War Veterans at the commission
meeting. Roth commended that
organizations might be able to
circumvent the ordinance by Ia
being affairs as social events
and no judge would be able to
convict them under the strict
letter of the law.
Commentator for it's "splen-

Railroad Bonds Take
Severe MauIing on
Coal Strike News
by The Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK. June 11.-Rail-
road bonds took O severe mauling
late this week just as they made a
faint attempt to recover from
earlier drubbings.
A selling spree on Friday, last
session Of the week, sent the
Associated Press average of 20 rail
liens to 89.2. lowest since the index
hit S9.1 on March 20, 1913.
The corporate bond market
week was not a total loss. how
ever. Moderate but persistent de-
mand for utility obligations kept
this section of the market firm.
On Friday. counteracting in part
the rail downswing, the A. P. aver
age of 10 utilities moved UP to
1923. high point not equaled
since November 8, 1947.
The industrial average closed
the week at 1917, net gain of i
OF point for the five days. Low
yield bonds stood at 1899. a gain
Of 4, while the foreign dollar
bond average sagged a, finishing
at 69.3.
The weeks ups and downs were
achieved on good expansion of
business Total volume in par
value figures for the five days was
$16,079,400. highest since an ex-
change of more than $4,000. 900
in the week ended April %. Last
weeks total was 1921 900.
The earlier slack-offs in rail
prices were attributed to the in
fluence Of simultaneous general
declines in stock market prices.
The Friday plunge, however.
was o direct result Of the United
Mine Workers coal walkout. Price
cuts piled up Friday as new an
nouncements came from rail-
roads concerning planned layoffs
Of workers next week. Loss Of
earnings from curtailed coal traf-
fic would be q serious blow to
the already harassed railroads.
United States Treasury bonds
were firm most of the week. Inter-
mediate team issues displayed a
tendency to advance modestly.
Over r-the-counter trading was not
very active. however, since there
were few new developments that
would affect this market.

Toward Brotherhood
Has Been Speeded
Nv the Associcted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Oscar
r. Ewing, Federal Security Ad-
ministrator. said today that the
human race has made more prog
ress toward brotherhood in the
last 200 years than in the prev
ious 1000 years"
Mr.. Ewing's remarks were in an
address for Brotherhood Week
meeting of civic clubs in the
EBronx.
I'VE have come a long way" he
said, "since the days when witches
were burned at the stake. when
the Puritans of New England
whipped and banished the Quak-
ers, when the Irish here in New
York murdered and plum
dered the even more downtrodden
Negroes, when the planters OF
Virginia massacred thousands OF
slaves. and when the Ku Klux
Klan spread terror and hatred
over half the country"
While saying that I'VE probably
shall never attain absolute equal
ity of opportunity" Mr.. Ewing
added that I'VE must continue to
cherish the ideal" He said each
individual must do what he can
