Senator John Sparkman (D)
Alabama, contends that all the
hue and cry about southern
lawmakers opposition to civil
rights has no basis whatever in
cold fact.
Sparkman is showing around
a letter from an Alabama Ne
gro farmer to prove his point
that whether southern con-
gressmen are for or against
civil rights depends on how
you define the term.
The senator said the farmer
asserted that it makes no diff
ference to the Negro whether
a civil rights program is passed
so long as Congress continues
to appropriate for good roads,
good schools and good housing.

horizontally bent trees which
were pruned, IA were straight a
wear later and the remaining one
was bent less than 80 degrees.
Thfe was little difference in the
recovery of the nine moderately
bent trees which were pruned and
a similar group of trees which
were not pruned. Eight in each
classification had regained a
straight trunk within a year.
The heavily pruned trees, as
might be expected, grew more
slowly than did the unpruned
trees. At the time of pruning, the
average diameter of the pruned
trees was 80 inches and that of
the unpruned trees 81 inches.
When remeasured a year later, the
average diameter of the pruned
trees was 3.5 inches or an increase
of 0.3 inches and that of the un-
pruned trees was 3.9 inches or an
increase of 0.8 inches. It is rea-
sonable to expect that in a few
years, as the pruned trees again
develop good crowns, the differ
ence in growth rate will disap-
pear.

Special to Central Press

Washington - A Democratic
congressman claims the site for
Washington's national airport
where SIS persons lost their
lives in a recent air Disaster
was selected by President
Franklin D.. Roosevelt over the
protests of airline pilots.
Rep. Robert Crosser (D). Ohio
said that President David
Bencke of the Airline Pilots
association, objected to the To-
cation, on the banks of the Po-
tomac in Alexandria, Va. be-
cause it was hemmed in by tall
buildings.
Crosser, chairman of the
House Interstate and foreign
commerce committee, which has
jurisdiction over civil aviation
legislation, said Bencke also
pointed out that the site was
on low ground and would have
to be filled in at great expense.
Bencke, Crosser added, fav-
ored Andrews Field, Md, about
equi-distant from the capital,
as the ideal place for the heav-
lily trafficked field.
President Roosevelt, however.
stuck by his own preference.
Nevertheless, Andrews became
a busy air center operated by
the Air Force.
Although the public has be-
come more acutely aware of
Communist spy activities in re-
cent months, few people know
that the United States is step
ping up its own role behind the
Genes of the cold war.
With no fanfare whatsoever,
the Central Intelligence agency
has been stepping up its coun-
ter-espionage activities and is
now keeping the closest of tabs
on all foreign undercover agents
in this country.
At the same time. the "cloak
and dagger" agency has expand
ed its own information gather

Both come from Colorado.
Brannan and Chapman also
are from the same city. Denver.
Thus, when Chapman takes the

The daily newspaper is the
only literature read by many
a citizen. 1t is one of the great
est educational agents in the
country. What we read, we tend
to believe. The press, by chos-
ing to play up the sensational

uendo to really important mat
tiers. is slanting the thinking of
our youth down the wrong
road.
Look at the New Orleans Item

news of the week were these

daughter born to an amoral
motion picture player named
Rita Hayworth; the award of

Subjected to a deluge of this
tripe day after day, young peo-
pie and less mature adults quite
naturally come to believe that
the important things in life are
such fripperies. Life in this
world amt anything like life
in the movies and the newspa-
pers. And those folks who ex-
pect it to be. go butting at frus-
trations all their days. Movie
