The report Of the Presidents
Council Of Economic Advisers
shows that unemployment stood
a. 3.8 million in June. While the
report does not give the number
Of cplored workers who are I'M
employed. experience has shown
that in times OF decreasing en-
ployment they are the hardest
hit. Ii is automatic that they are
the last hired and the first fired.
With such a condition prevail
inE. the projected program for
economic stability and expansion
Seeds careful scrutiny 10 see
that the policies adopted will
prevent members Of minority
groups from becoming wards OF
the Government in disproportion
ate numbers.
Larger numbers of colored per-
sons are engaged in agriculture.
President Truman recommended.
as a means OF overcoming q
number of shortcomings in ex-
isting farm legislation. the au-
thorixation Of direct production
payments as an alternative to
the pegging OF market prices 20
as TO maintain an adequate level
of farm income and promote
shifts in lines Of agricultural
production which will encourage
an increase in the total domestic
consumption OF farm products
A second recommendation.
which is OF Importance to coll
ored people is the immediate
raising OF the minimum wage
under the Fair Labor Standards
Act from As cents TO at least
IS cents an hour.
In his report Mr.. Truman said:
Higher minimum wages is an
element in the general improve
ment OF American living stand
ards which we can afford and
must achieve"
Since colored workers are the
lowest paid wage earners in
American industry. and probably
are the only workers covered
by the Fair Labor Standards Act
receiving coolie wages Of 40 cents
an hour Of all the workers en-
gagged in commerce or the pro-
duction OF goods for commerce.
an increase in their wages would
be only an act Of simple justice.

know that as long as they keen
on meeting. the chances for
peace are improving.
Another fact we must not for
get Is that these annual gath
erings are places for reports
where the delegates listen 10
what the various agencies have
been doing throughout the year
and plans are adopted for the
work to be done in the ensuing
year or years.
So. there is a period for re,
joicing over achievements: there
Is q period for sober planning
for the future. Conventions and
conferences and gatherings are
often mountaln-top experiences
However, We must realize that

a three fold card TO be used

One third Of the three fold
card consists Of detailed in

how the card should be filled

other two-thirds Of the card

Group Objects
To Tom Clark
Police Promises

NEW YORK, Aug. 9. (ANP)-
Several left wing groups lined up
last week against the choice of
Atty. Gen. Tom Clark as Presi-
dent. Truman's choice to replace
the late Justice Frank Murphy on
the bench Of the U. S. Supreme
court.
Heading the list Of opponents
Of Clark is the Civil Rights con-
gress which urged Vice President
Alben Markley and Sen. Pat Nc
Carron, chairman Of the senate
judiciary committee, not to verify
his appointment, in a special tele-
gram.
The telegram said in part:
"Nomination of Tom Clark to
the U. S. Supreme court is a graf
uitous insult thrown into the faces
Of the Negro people and is a ma
jor threat to the future of Ameri-
can constitutional liberty"
The Socialist party in a resolu-
ton asked the Senate to reject
his nomination because of his
sslack of understanding of civil
liberties"
Also joining in line with those
who object to Clark is the COM
munist party Of the United States.

House Group
Approves School
Health Bill

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. GAN
PA subcommittee of the House
Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce last Wednesday
approved a school health bill, as
sort of a compromise for the de-
layed Federal Aid to Education
measure.
Several school health bills were
pending before the committee all
of which had some good qualities
and some undesirable parts, there
fore, the committee voted to print
a new bill including the most de-
sirable points in each Of the pend
ing measures. After which the
measure will go to the full COM
mittee for approval.
A similar bill has already passed
the senate, only the House recon-
mended bill which was worked
out in conference between Chair
man. Percy Priest Cd, Tenn.), of
the Commerce subcommittee and
House Democratic Leader John
Nc Cormack, d., Mass.), included
what they called some "psychologi-
cal amendments"
Those amendments called for
the distribution of. the 35 million
dollars to all school children with
out discrimination against those
pupils who attend parochial
schools.
1t is expected that the new
house bill, like the senate passed
bill measure will authorize the
federal security administrator to
distribute funds directly to the
non-pulic schools for health serv-
ices where state laws prohibit the
use Of public funds for private
schools.

Wyoming Has Potential
Water Development

WYOMING DOES HAVE all the
essentials for future reclamation de-
velopment, according 10 Dean H. T.
Person of the College of Engineer
ing at the University OF Wyoming.
He pointed out that Wyoming has
an ample water supply. Even with
future developments, we will be us
ing only rs percent of the water hav-
ing its origin in Wyoming, the Dean
said. Wyoming has v a million
acres of irrigable land and SOC, 900
acres that need a supplemental sup
ply. Feasible storage facilities are
available in the state to store an
additional 1890, 900 acre feet of wa
ter for Wyoming water users.
Discussing potential irrigation
projects in connection with available
water supplies and storage facilities,
Dean Person revealed that Wyoming
streams produce a mean annual run
off of about $4,000, 900 acre feet
Presently, Wyoming irrigators are
using annually $780, 600 feet, or
about Is percent of Wyoming's pro-
duction to irrigate 1900, 900 acres.
