Letters to The Editor

Editors note: This is the fourth
instaIIment of letters to the edi-
tor concerning Segre regated
! schools by the same writer.
Dear Editor:
I wish to say one more word in
regards to the discrimination of
salaries in most of the separate
schools of Arizona.
In a recent interview with a
we'll known teacher of the county,
Maricopa County to be exact, she
informed me that at the beginning
of this present school term she was
interviewed by a superintendent of
one of the schools for the position
of a teacher for the Colored school
under his supervision.
After answering all questions
pertaining to herself, she was fl
nally asked by the superintendent
as to her years of teaching ex-
perience, to this question she re-
piled: ''More than ten years." She
was readily told by the interview
er that she had too much expert
ence and he would have to pay
her too much salary. Now had
this been in the South and she was
told this, no one would think much
about it, as this has been a COM
mon occurrence in that section.
But this is Arizona, as one is so
apt to hear here, and of course
such things as discrimination in
educational opportunities and so
forth do not exist. The public may
decide this issue for themselves.
So far as the teacher mentioned
she did not get the job at this par
ticular school. This is one of the
things that must be worked out by
those of our group who are en-
gagged in the teaching profession.
If may offer a solution to this
disgusting thing to those who have
chosen teaching as their life'S work,
there can be only one answer to
the whole question. Don't sign a
contract where you are offered
salary below the standard of other
teachers. If you are professionally
prepared for your job then demand
the best salary possible.
The question will not be solved
when men of our group who head
our separate schools import teach
ers from the southland who are
eager to work to come into the
schools for salary little above
that which they were getting in
their home state. By teachers
uniting and fighting for a COM
mon cause, should be the aim of
all of you who work in this grand
State.

S al d the southern whites don't
mind cooperation with the Negroes,

sympathy goes out to Billie Holi-

beauty, personality, voice and mon

appreciate it. Or maybe I don't
understand. The 9O-year-old white
woman was finally allowed to wed

Two judges and one minister all

They finally found a colored min

it was a contract rather than
marriage, because she wanted him
to have her property when she
passed on. That seems rather thin
to me, after all, what are wills for?
Do you dig me? Speaking of color,
it is said in Washington D. c., there
is a cemetery for dogs, white folks
"dargs." No colored folks "dargs"
are allowed to be buried there. It
doesn't matter the color of the
dog-I meant to say "darg"-it is
the color of the person who owned
the "darg." I am sure the ."dargs"
won't mind-or am I crazy or just
who is crazy? The Klu Klux Klan
has competition with the organiza-
'tion of the "White Circle" in Tulsa,
Okla, whose main objective is the
defeat of communism and "reten-
ton of existing racial segregation
laws" Can you imagine it? Bye

Dent Insists on Taxing
Of Foreign Property
Except | Legations

District tax officials said today
that, despite the State Depart
ment's reciprocal tax exemption
program, the law and the city's
acute financial condition require
taxing of property owned here by
foreign governments unless used
for legation purposes.
The issue came to a head as Tax
Assessor Edward A. Dent an
nounced refusal of a tax exemp-
ton request for the residence of
Sir Frederick Hoyer Millar, Brit
ish Minister. at 2404 Kalorama
road NV. Mr.. Dent said he was
advised by the District legal de-
partment that the residence, in
this instance, could not be regard
ed as used for legation purposes.
State Department authorities
declared they were studying the
matter for it's possible effect on
the arrangement whereby most
foreign governments allow re-
ciprocal tax exemptions on over
seas property owned by the United
States when similar exemptions
are allowed here.
Sees No Conflict.
The request for tax exemption
on the British Minister'S residence
was prepared by the legal division
of the Foreign Service Admins
tration. Leland w. King. jr.. as
sociate chief of Foreign Buildings
Operations of the State Depart
ment, said that without close
study of this particular case he
could not tell how it might affect
the departments policy of tax
exemption reciprocity.
Mr.. Dent indicated he saw no
basic conflict with the State De-
partment's stand. He noted that
the District has made several SIM
liar rulings in the past and that
each case is considered by itself.
My only comment" he said, sis
that we will scrutinize every case
very carefully. We have refused
similar requests before because we
believe they do not comply with
existing statutes as to the use of
the specific property for legation
purposes.
Suggests Reimbursement.
"Such scrutiny of all tax ex-
emption requests is all the more
necessary in view Of the Districts
present financial condition"
State Department officials ex-
planned that this Government
saves large sums annually by re-
ciprocal tax exemptions on it's
overseas property used for. diplo-
matte purposes. Such properties,
they said. include not only en-
bassy and legation buildings but
also some structures acquired for
Office and storage purposes in con-
nection with diplomatic work.
A State Department official sug-
gested that a possible method of
resolving any difficulty between
the District tax policy and the

that the Hungarian and Ron1arlian
governments were not.
Jewish representatives here said
Bulgaria-with 47,000 Jews in a
population of about 1000, 900
was the only country in Europe
where no Jews were lost under
Fascist rule. Bulgarians say the
country's Jewish population ac-
tually increased 1000 during this
time. The Bulgarians dispersed
their Jews in the provinces but
did not hand them over to the
Nazis for determination. Property
confiscated from the Jews was re-
stored after the countrys liberia
ton.
