 "I care about everything that happens in Washington. I get letter from Washington once. It starts off with-FGreetings.' It is just a short letter but it takes me thirty-seven months to answer it. Most of the time on a stinkin' little island in the South Pacific. You can walk to the other side of the island in thirty minutes only it ain't worth the trip. After you get there you find the same ocean you just leave and when you see all."
 Ask About Bridgeport
 "Did you read about a man get ting a jail sentence for discrimin ating against Negroes in a Bridge port skating rink? Do you care about that? Care enough, that is, to want to read about that kind of thing. Or would you rather just have your weekly newspaper light and gossipy and amusing"
 ssI like to know that high school kids want something better. And that there's a judge with guts and people in the state capitol who care. That's kicks. That's mixed up with hope too, like guys around a pinball machine or scuffling with a pyramid club.
 ''I want to know what my folks are doing. I want to know the kind of thing they think is worth fighting for and what I can do to help. Maybe I don't always take time to dig all the details. That don't matter. I know what's good and what's right. I don't have to know all about electricity to turn on 8 light when it's dark"
 The old man was strained for ward, bobbing his head. '"Ten lem son." he said. .~ --, .

 ''The only way to get along is to keep moving" the old man said but his voice sounded a little sad and neglected this time.
 We drained our glasses. Outside the sun slashed our shadows in sharp distortion against the pave ment. Our friend turned to. us. : "Listen," he said. "Do you hear that? ?"
 "What does it sound like?" "A steady rumble, faint and dis tant but growing. Thunder, may be-"
 Maybe. And maybe it's the sound of a city stirring. Maybe it's the voice of a people finding way to be heard" We said.
 He didn't seem to think that was funny.
 "Could be-" he said. He bit out the words. "Yeah, it just could be-"

Adding to that. government Of
ficials yesterday said new investi-
cations have disclosed that the

Senate Debates Issue
OF Il genfritz Demand
To Draw Steel Salary
BY the Associated Press

The Senate piled today into
dispute over whether a Govern
ment official should be allowed to
draw a salary from a private
corporation.
The issue involves President
Truman's nomination of Carl A.
ngenfritz.. a $70.000-a-year vice
president of the United States
Steel Corp, to be chairman OF
the Munitions Board.
Mr.. ngenfritz has agreed to take
the $14.000-a-year munitions post
for year-but on the understand
ing that he will continue to receive
his full salary from the steel COM
pany. He explained that he would
lose pension rights for the period
OF Government service II he gave
up his private salary.
The Senate Armed Services
Committee split, 8 to 4, in approx
ing his nomination.
Board Duties Outlined.
AS head of the Munitions Board,
Mr.. ngenfritz would direct advance
planning for the industrial mobili-
zation of the Nation in case of
another war.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of Vir-
ginia one of those who voted
against the nomination, said it
would establish bad precedent
to adopt a policy of permitting
large corporations to subsidize
Government officials by leaving
them on their payrollS."
II am just as much opposed to
big business having such represen-
tatives in the Government" he
told a reporter, "as would be to
labor unions having subsidized
representatives here"
The Viirginian said he had no
objections to Mr.. ngenfritz per-
sonally and believes he would
make a capable Federal official.
Senator Byrd is expected to lead
the floor fight against the nomina-
ton.
Minority Leader Wherry said no
party issue is involved. He said
he hasn't decided how he will
vote, that he wants to hear the
debate.
Bad Precedent Feared.
But I don't want to do any
thing that would set a bad pre-
cedent," he told reporter.
Senator Saltonstall. Republican,
of Massachusetts, predicted the
nomination will stir up quite a
debate" but said he had no idea
how the vote would go. Majority
Leader Lucas said he believes
Mr.. ngenfritz will be confirmed.
Senator Saltonstall said that
Mr.. ngenfriitz' job would be one
of planning rather than Of pur-
chasing and that he sees no con-
fiict that would arise from the
fact that MIR. ngenfritz would
continue to draw his steel COM
pany salary. That also was the
opinion of Chairman Tydings OF
the Armed Services Committee.

Missouri Pacific Strike
BY the Assoeioted Press

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.-Union Of
ficials studied a company proposal
today for ending the Missouri Pa
cific Railroad strike.
The proposal was submitted at
a joint session of representatives
of the railroad and striking BROTH
erhoods yesterday. Both sides said
they were optimistic after the
meeting.
The strike began last Friday.
Four operating brotherhoods
called the walkout over 282 union
claims against the railroad.
Under the proposal submitted
yesterday, SO of the claims would
be paid outright or investigated
more thoroughly and paid if found
to be similar to those already con-
ceded.
Similar to Wabash Proposal.
The unions previously had Of
fered to withdraw about 80 claims
to help reach a settlement.
Disputed claims governed by the

Freight Car Exchanges Cut.
The walkout has reduced the
number Of freight car exchanges
here by about 5000 daily. Nor
mally about 10000 cars are inter-
changed from one major railroad
to another by the Terminal Rail-
road Association. The terminal
road also announced the layoff Of

RoBT SIBERIAN leading industries

have been alarmed by irrespon-
sible persons who make a bust
ness out Of frightening industry
against many bills that would
prove beneficial to the state, the

ic figures in the state Legislature,

with the mort tangible, concrete
learning that comes from personal

practice is repugnant - down.

?. Abolish segregation in inter

that exist among so many in the

5. Abolish segregation in the

a double function. First. it would

STATE SENATE
TO GET FEPc
BILL AGAIN

Friday morning at 1890 the
Minnesota state Senate will again
have its current hot potato thrust
back into its lap. The Senate ju-
dietary committee, where many
thought the measure would be
buried, reported the bill out of
committee Wednesday with four
minor changes which had been
suggested by proponents of the
measure headed by Senator Ger
aid Mullin.
The Senate will have its second
chance Friday to vote either yea
or nay on the measure, which is
one of the most controversial
measures before the state legis-
lature. The body referred the bill
to the judiciary by a vote of 20 to
20 last Friday.
The measure would outlaw race
and religious determination by
employers, labor unions and en-
plOyment agencies.
Wednesday in an editorial the
Minneapolis STAR charged that
the bill was being given the rum
around by the Legislators. The ed
itorial also cited the passage of
similar measures by both Wash
ington state and Oregon legisla-
lures
Governor Luther YOungdahl,
chief prepayment of the legislation,
charged Wednesday night in a
radio address that certain MEM
bers of the Legislature, fearful
that the measure would pass, have
tried to bottle it up in committee,
to prevent a vote on it.
Senate galleries will be open
Friday. An effort is expected to
be made to have large number
of citizens appear at the Senate
to hear the debate.

FEPc BILL DISCUSSED IN
CONGRESS COMMITTEE

SONSkeSS SONtFWt tEE
WASHINGTON, d. C.-The
authors of the Taft-Hartley
Act pretended to be giving mi
nOrities a pat on the back, but
were really pinning a donkey 5
tail of second class citizenship
on all Of the colored people in the
trade union movement of this
country, Clarence Mitchell, Labor
Secretary of the NAACP, said in
his testimony before the House
Committee on Labor and Educa-
ton on Tuesday, March 10.
The Associations representa-
tive charged that Section of the
Taft-Hartley Act contains some
beautiful language about no dis
elimination, but the authors in a
mean, COnniving, sncaking way
included in the Conference Report
on the legislation a statement
which approved the doctrine on
the Larus case. The Larus case,
Mr.. Mitchell said, was an NLRB
decision which permits unions to
exclude Colorcd people put them
IN B-class locals, or Confine their
membership to auXiliaries
He stated that the Board has
used this continued license for
immoral conduct in four major
decisions under the Hartley
Act" In each Of these decisions,
Mr. Mitchell said, the segregation
in union membership was upheld
by the Board.
As in his statement submitted
to the Senate Committee on Labor
and Public Welfare on February
10, 1919. Mr. Mitchell stated that
two National Conventions Of the
NAACP have called for a repeal
Of the Hartley Act. He also
added that the NAACP was ask
ing for the following things
we ask that no union BE- Certi-
fed as the bargaining agent II IT
should srgrcgatc or discriminate
against employees because Of race,
religion. or national origin. We
also ask that any union following
this unjust practice BE- dcCerufied
# It already has obtained bargain
ny rights. No employer would be
required to bargain with a dis
rriminatory union and the closed
shop would also be denied, II the
organization seeking 1t refused
membership to persons because Of
race, religion. or national origin. "
Donkcy's Tail
Representative Bailey ID. W.
Va asked Mr.. Mitchell III the
parties that controlled the SOth
Congress haven't been pInning the
Ipnkcys tail on you folks for
about eighty years and you only
found II out before the last cleo
ton. Mr.. MItchells reply was
that neither party has done what
It should on thus question. He also
said that we are nightly pleased
with the position of the president
On the Civil Rights program, and
We are delighted that there ar,
many Of you gentlemen who stand
with him on that.
Mitchell said: I'VE have Just
been exposed to the very awful
spectacle Of a fihbuster over in
the Senate which we know has
been engineered by the worst kind
Of c0nnivanCc between Republi-
ans and Democrats.
We hope that you gentlemen
who believe in the principles the
president has enunciatcd in the
