New Jersey
Governor Signs
Civil Rights Bill
NEW LAW HAILED AS
MODEL FOR NATION


Trenton, N. J. April IL - Gov
ernor Alfred e. Driscoll signed
the Freeman Civil rights bill in
ceremonies at the State Capitol
here last Thursday.
The new law, which is already
being hailed as a model of civil
rights legislation, not only pro-
hibits segregation and discrim-
nation in the fields of public
accommodations and education,
but also contains teeth" to en-
able the state to enforce it
through the issuance of "cause
and desist" orders.
New Jersey thus becomes the
only state in the union having
law which enables the state it
self to issue cease and desist or
ders against aggregation in the
fields of employment, education
and public accommodations.
Shortly before Governor Dris-
coll signed the bill he met with
a group of thirty citizens, re
presenting approximately fifty
organizations whom he credited
with having worked to make the
new statute possible. He told them
that he had received a letter
from an opponent of the will who
had written that he agreed with
"the civil rights program of Pre-
sident Truman"
Governor Driscoll said he had
replied THAT the only difference
between my civil rights program
and that of President Truman is
that mine is all out to become a
law"
After making this statement,
the Governor signed the bill, us
ing eighteen pens to perform the
task. He later distributed the
pens to members of the delega-
ton. The first pen was turned
over to Wells Bainey, a repres-
entative of the Afro-American
Newspapers.
The new law is designed that
the enforcement agency which
was set up to administer the New
Jersey fair employment practice
law in 1915 has its scope broad
ened to include the handling of
complaints of discrimination in
the entire area of public accom-
modations.
1t specifically prohibits race or
religious discrimination in Ia
verns, road houses, hotels, retail
shops, stores, restaurants, eating
houses, garagrd, public covey-
ances, lighthouses, public broad

Only few minutes before the picture was

Even the patient burros on Illusions ranch
have turned against her. She sneezes vio-
lently whenever she approaches them cher

Miss Keyes and Mr.. Huston are at this
writing separated, and there are some who
blame the rift on his animal farm. Miss Keyes
denies it. But she does mention the fact as
if in vindication. that the last time she saw
Cheena few weeks ago, the chimp was in
cage.
The separation from Mr. Huston was an
amiable one. Miss Reyes still speaks of him
with admiration, and with special fondness
of Walter Huston, her father -in-law.
The Hustoa Myth
"A GREAT man." she says feelingly. But she
dismisses one Walter Huston myth - the
story of his great sacrifice for his art in
Treasure of Sierra Madre," when he re-
moved his false teeth to give authenticity to
his role of toothless prospector.

fit to be tied when John suggested it. Why, it
took four people to hold him while the teeth
were being removed. Later. when he saw the
rushes, he was reconciled But he sulked for
weeks"
Miss Reyes is a very beautiful, very
smart and very mirthful young lady. She
delights i'm life's little ironies, like the
above. She hashad her own share of them.
She got her first chance in motion pictures
through an interview with Cecil B. DeMille
Natural and unspoiled," he noted ON her
application. Miss Keyes is rather sophisti-
Gated and probably little spoiled, as what
great beauty isn't. DeMille gained his i'm
preston of her as an artless country lass
through the fact that her nails were implanted.
She had awakened too late that morning to
have time to do them. a circumstance that
gained her the job.
Her first stable part was as Suellen,
Scarlett O'Hara's sweet-tallking sister in
Gone With the Wind" Miss Keyes, who
actually halls from Atlanta. had spent months
losing her Dixie accent. Now she had to
acquire it all over again.
Failure Did Il
In ATLANTA she was one of five girls who
won beauty contest and were given screen
tests. Miss Reyes Topped in hers - the other
four went on to Hollywood and obscurity
Today mo one can tell you the names of the
lucky ones. Miss Keyes on the other hand,
was spurred on by her failure, went to Holly
wood on her own and became movie star
Another irony Is that Miss Keyes is rs
close As any pretty girl should get to being
an intellectual. Yet rarely does she get
an intelligent line to speak in films For
that matter. she is a frst-class comedienne
and rarely plays comedy parts But that's

Albania. A new Communist "strong
man." 1t. Gen. Mehmet Shehu,
Moscow-trained army chief of staff,
was reported gradually taking over
control from Premier Hoxha.
ACCORDING to reports reaching
western diplomats, Shehu appears
to be the actual ruler of the coun-
try. Hoxha, Albanian leader for
five years, was reported to have
been showed into the background
although he retains the title of
premier.

he not only is the boss of the army,
but also chief of the secret police,
interior minister and vice-premier.
He is described as the most ruth

gained considerable fame in Alban-
ia during the war by leading the
first Albanian partisan division in
many deadly raids against Ger

Was Hard Worker

With the death of Edward R.
StettiniuS, another major figure of
the Roosevelt era passed from the
American scene. The former secre-
tary of state died of a heart attack
at the age of 40.
STETTINIUS' contributions to his
government were many and val
liable. A rich mans son, he scorned
a life of leisure and, instead, de-
termined to make his own way,
which he did rather well. He was
chairman of the US. steel corpora
ton at the age of 81. At "a, he was
US. secretary Of state, the top
cabinet post. He was lend-lease ad-
ministrator, taking over that post
in 1941, a job in which he directed
the 60-billion-dollar flow of sup
plies that played a major role in
defeat of the axis powers.
Youngest secretary of state since
the administration of George Wash
ington, Stettinius held the post only
II months. He resigned to become
the first us. delegate to the United
Nations general assembly. He was
of Roosevelt's advisers at the
Yalta conference with Winston
Churchill and Joseph Stain.

BIG STEEL:
The Break Comes

The break had come in the stee
strike.
The United Steelworkers hac
signed an agreement with the
Bethlehem steel corporation end
ing the strike for that company's
80, 1000 workers and breaking the
otherwise solid front that had been
maintained by big steel in the
strike issue.
IT WAS A TRIUMPH for CLOS
President Philip Murray who an
nounced that the agreement called
for Bethlehem to pay the full cost
of minimum $100-a-month pensions
for all employees 65 or over with
Is years of service. A social insur-
ance plan also was included in the
agreement.
Bethlehem, the industry's second
largest producer, was the first unit
of big steel to capitulate to union
demands for a company-financed
pension and welfare plan.
No one could say just how much
the pension program would cost the
steel company per hour for each
employee once it begins operating.
1t was expected the pension plan
would start to function in January
and the social insurance program
would get underway at about the
same time.
Murray told newsmen that a
Every conservative estimate of
the pension cost to the company
would be about 10 cents an hour, but
added actuarial studies would have
to be made before the cost could be
determined definitely.
THE CLIO LEADER said the
Bethlehem action would set a pat
tern for the steel industry, but de-
clined to say what companies he
was talking to privately.
big Steel" speaking through
us. Steel corporation President
Benjamin F. Fairless said:
I'VE renew III earlier proposals
to sit down with the steelworkers
union in an endeavor to negotiate
a mutually satisfactory program
. of course we will study the
Bethlehem settlement"
The question was: How long
would the remainder of big steel"
hold out? The Bethlehem pact was
a ~forceful argument for the unions
for, they could argue, if Bethlehem
can do it, so can you.
