ogical position that when the
American Bowling Congress uses
public bowling alleys it ceases
to be a closed club and to have
the right to discriminate against
co.ored Americans.
AS has been said, the resolu-
ton OF the California Post was
sent to the National Organiza-
ton with request for action.
The National Executive Commit
tee acted by promptly adopting
the resolution, and by writing to-
the Anne lean Bowling Congress
urging that it's discriminatory by-
laws be changed and adding that.
II they were not changed. the
next Amvet Convention would
be asked to Withdraw it's bowl
ing teams from the Congress.
Congratulations to National
Commander Harold A.. Keats and
MS organization which is giving
US an example of Anne icanism
IN action OF which all Americans
may well be proud. It is the kind
OF Americanism in action ali
americans ought to emulate.

Economic HighIights

If the judgment or represen-
tatiye business leaders is cor
rect, those who anticipate drop
In the cost fliving are doomed
to disappointment. The outlook
now is that some prices-notably
oods-lwill probably decline dur
ing the coming year. However,
even If this happens, it will be
offset by higher prices in other
directions, principally in the
field Of manufactured goods.
A recent statement by Henry
FordII Indicates the trend of
thinking on the top industrial
levels. According to him, a
fourth-round wage increase 'is
ineyitable." Then he said:
prices, too, must go up. Prices
are high today, maybe too high
but we can't lower them without
lowering wages and material
costs.'' When asked for his
views on price control, Mr.. Ford
said it would not hold prices
down and would wreck the ma
tion-the auto industry includ
ed-and ruin the economy
The attitude of the principal
labor. leaders Is also indicative
of things. to come. At the recent
CLIO convention In Portland, Ore,
Mr.. Murray, Mr.. Reuthers and
otter high executives in the or
ganization laid most of the EN-
phasis on plans for obtaining re-
peal of the Taft-Hartley Act,
which. in their view. would be
favorable to labor. At the same
time, they made it perfectly
clear that they will demand, as
general thing, substantial
wage increases. The AFLs is not
os aggressive in attitude, but
there is little doubt that it will
olow a similar policy.
It might. be argued, as a theo-
retfcal proposition, that higher
wages need not constitute any
particular problem to. industry
that all IL has to do is to raise
its prices to compensate and
carry on in the same old groove.
But that argument, in many
cases, it simply not workable in

the Communist himself. In every
community, good citizens, we
must watch for the fellows that
want to SOW discord and plant
the seeds of strife. If there's
honest disagreement, or differ
ences of opinion, we are free to
discuss these over the conference
table. When we're unwilling to
do that, we may be boosting the
stock of the Communists in our
own America.
Here's what 7 mean by the
Communist attitude. A certain
California union organizer said
he operated in this manner: No

Then, said the organizer, when
labor was shown to be helpless

Parking Ban Studied
For Downtown Areas
As Spur 10 New Lots

A proposal to prohibit street park
ing in certain critical" downtown
areas-and thus force development
of parking areas by private business
was under consideration today by
the commissioners Advisory Com
mite on Zoning and Parking.
The proposal was advanced by
P. Y. K. Howat, head of the Dis
trict Motor Vehicle Agency, who
is a member of the special commit
tee also.
Mr.. Howat said the plan would
work like this:
A study would be made to deter
mine critical areas, areas in down.
town Washington where traffic is
heavy. In each critical area, it
would be determined how many
parking spaces were needed.
Initial Curb Planned.
The number needed would be COM
if many more were needed than
available, the Commissioners would
be asked to designate short parking
hours in the area-say about six
hours. This would encourage pri-
vate builders to provide parking IA
cilities since it would assure a GER
tain need.
Eventually parking would be
banned entirely in the critical areas
as other space off the streets became
available. The result would be i'm
proved traffic conditions because of
the cleared streets.
Mr.. HoWat said the present zon-
ing regulations requiring builders of
apartment houses to furnish off,
street parking places is not solving
the problem. Very little if any
such building is going on in the
downtown areas, he pointed out.
In addition, he saiG, although the
law requires the builder to furnish
the spaces, there is no way in which
people can be forced to use them.
No Immediate Action Due.
| The special committee was ap-
pointed last fall to work out amend
ments to the present zoning regu-
lations touching on the parking
problem
If it adopts Mr.. Howat's proposal,
the committee would bring in a
recommendation to the Commits
sioners for their action. No imme-
diate action is expected on the pro-
poSal as the committee has a lot
of ground to cover yet, Mr.. Howat
said.
