JUNEAU VESSEL
 NEAR-MI55ED BY
 PLAYFUL WHALE

The Barbara u, Juneau mar rowly escaped being sunk yester- day in Chatham Straits by an exuberant 7O-foot whale. The story of the close squeak was told this morning by Edward l. Keithahn, curator of the Terri torial Museum, who, with Thomas s. Parke, owner of the Barbara V, returned to Juneau from a weeks vacation at Sitka.
 AS they were coming through the straits, they sighted two large whales playing on the starboard side. They swung the boat in the direction of the whales, and stood with their cameras ready, hoping to get some good shots.
 Suddenly, about 75 feet away, one of the playful whales jumped out of the water
 "He came clear out of the water" Keithahn said. "He stood on his tail facing us and so close that we could see his corrugated belly"
 Both men, thinking the creature would fall onto the boat, were too startled to think of using their cameras. The whale fell into the water near enough to send spray over the boat.
 Keithahn, recovering his aplomb, snapped picture of the splash. Then both men stood and cussed their bad luck at having missed the picture of lifetime.
 But the playful whale kept on playing. It jumped out of the water once more-not dangerously close, but within camera range.
 So Keithahn and ,Parke were able to leave the scene of the narrow escape with pictures to make up for their trouble. The film is being developed now and the men hope the pictures will be good enough for Life magazine.

|B-36 STRESS E BAD GAMBLE
 5AY5ADMIRAL
Radford s Statement Is Bought Into Open Over
 Objeefions-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-R- Admiral Arthur w. Radtord told Congress today that concentrating American military strength in the Air Forces big B-36 bomber is "a bad gamble with national security"
 The theory of "a cheap and easy victory" through strategic bombing is unsound, Radford declared.
 Radford was before an open ses- sion of the House Armed Services Committee. The committee gave Naval officers an opportunity for the first time to air at the capitol their differences with other armed services over high military policy.
 Radford's statement was first given the House group at a closed session yesterday. Over the protest of Secretary of the Navy Matthews, the committee decided he should make it again publicly.
 Matthews took the position that national security might be damaged if Radford's views were made pub lie. But the committee voted him down, to 6.
 The committee wants to find out why some Navy men-like the sus- pended Capt. John G. Crommelin- think morale and fighting efficiency of the sea service are being worn away by present defense policies.
 Some of the officers feel that the Air Force and it's intercontin- ental bomber are being favored over the Navy and its carrier planes in defense plans.
 At the outset, Radford told the committee that decisions on defense planning may determine whether or not there is a war. He said;
 "If the armed services of this nation are unsoundly organized and improperly equipped they will not be fully effective as deterrent to aggression. They may even in- vite it."
 Whatever the decisions, some criticism is inevitable" Radford went on, adding that agreement solely for agreements sake on vital national issues is dangerous"

NEW DANCE CLUB BEING ORGANIZED
 AT MEET TONIGHT

A new dance club, which will hold its first meeting tonight at 8:30 o'clock in the CLIO. Hall, is being organized for all interested in special dances. The program will be governed by the majority vote, although regular ballroom dancing is not one of the purposes of the club.
 The intention of the club organ izers is to include all the old time dances in the program, such as Viennese waltzes, schottisches, polkas and square dances. Speciality dances like the Black Hawk waltz, veleta waltz, and South and Central American dances such as the samba and rumba will also be included.
 Everyone interested in dances of this type is welcome to attend to- nights meeting, and to join in the organization of the club.

A JUST REWARD

President Truman has nominated Cover
nor William H. HASTE Of the Virgin Islands
to be Judge of the third Circuit Court of
Appeals This marks the first time in his
tory that a man Of color has been SO honored.
HASTE is forty-five, formerly was dean of
the Howard Law School, District Judge Of
the Virgin Islands and work horse for the
n. A. A. c. P. He is in every way capable
and worthy Of this signal honor as a Judge,
lawyer, gentleman and scholar T.
The Senate must now confirm or approve
his nomination. Little difficulty is seen as
both major parties have been preaching and
writing civil rights in their platforms, but
up to now have done little toward practicing
same.
HASTE was Impressed" into service BY the
democratic forces to take the stump for Mr.
Truman in 1917. Many two-bit politicians
and racial intellectu3ls arched their eyebrows
and asked, 'Why should man of his calbre
accept such humiliating task?" The hon
orable reward ujst bestowed is no doubt the
answer.
Such we'll deserved honor could not have
come to finer person He epitomizes the
type and character Of Negro politicians we
must push forward to attain our full measure
Of citizenship as guaranteed by the Consttu-
ton o. this great country.
Let lis say begone to the two-bit politician
who will sell the race short for a shot Of
liquor, a case of beer and Fin. Let us
have more trained, intelligent, potent and
aggressive leadership in both parties SO that
we will be able to integrate our race in all
departments Of our government, from the
Presidents cabinet on down the line.

EQUALITY OF MEN
AND WOMEN

I give you selected discourse
by one of the worlds greatest
men on the question of Equality
Of Men and Women" I quote:
To-day questions of the ut
most Importance are facing
humanity; questions peculiar to
this radiant century. In former
centuries there was not even
mention Of them. Inasmuch as
this is the century of illumina--
ton, the centuy Of humanity, the
century Of divine bestowals, these
questions are being presented for
the expression Of pblic opinion
and in ali the countries Of the
owrld, discussion is taking place
looking to their solution.
Zone Of these questions con.
Germs the rights of woman and
her equality with man. In past
ages it was. held that woman and
man were not equal; that this is
to say woman was considered in
ferior to man even from the
standpoint of her anatomy and
creation. She was considered
especially inferior in intelligence
and the idea prevailed univer-
sally that t was not allowable.
for her to step into the arena
of important affairs. In some
countries man went so far as to
believe and teach that woman
belonger to a sphere lower than
human.
"But in this country which is
the century of light and the reve-
lation Of mysteries God is prov
ingto the satisfaction Of human
ity that all this is IGNORANCE and
errcr; nay rather, it is well
established that mankind and
womankind as factors of com
posite humanity are co-equal and
that no difference in estimate is
allowable; for all are human. She
as denied the wright and priv:
lege Of education and left in her
undeveloped state. Naturally
she could not advance In reality.
God has created all mankind and
in the estimation of God there is
no distinction as to male and
female. The one whose heart is
pure is acceptable in his sight.
be that one man or woman. God
does no inquire cart thou woman
Or art thou man." He Judges
human actions. If these are &C
ceptable in the threshold Of the
Glorious One, man and woman
will be equally recognized and
rewarded.
Furthermore education Of
woman is more necessary and
important than that Of man for
woan is the tainer of the child |
from it's infancy. If she be do
fective and imperfect hersel the
child will necessarily be def
cient; therefore imperfection of
woman implies a condition Of |
imperfection in all ankind, for if
is the mother who rears, nur
lures and guides the growth Of |
the child. This is not the func !
ton of the father. If the edu-
cater be incompetent the educat.. |
ed will be correspendingly lack.
