Honored guests at the meeting were Mesdames Amelia Gundersen, Essie Dale, Doris Barnes, Dorothy Gruening, Ladissa Nordale, Alberta Peterson, Helen Monsen and Belle Simpson.
 Mrs. Nordale gave a most inter- esting talk on the functions of the Territorial Board of Education. One of the most important things that has been accomplished by this board, according to Mrs. Nordale, is the adoption of a uniform course of study for all Territorial schools. This insures to every student the opportunity of transferring from one school to any other school ill the Territory without the danger of being placed behind his own class, since all schools must cover the same. material in each grade. An other important accomplishment has been the raising of standards of requirements for teaching in the Territorial schools.

Over 10000
Handicapped
Employed
All Found Jobs
In Post World
War II Period

COLUMBUS, Ohio. - T h e
post-World War II period has
seen more than 10000 jobs filled
with handicapped Ohions-vet-
eran and non-veteran-through
the State Employment Security
program, Robert H. Smith, chair
man of the Ohio Working Com
mittee for National Employ the
Physically Handicapped Week,
stated today.
First Held in 1945
The first NEPH Week observ-
ance was held in 1945, Smith
said, on the heels of a Congress
sional resolution calling for
nationwide effort to promote
the employment of the physical
ly handicapped. Though NEPH
Week, October 2-8 inclusive, is
being observed for the fifth time
this year, public employment
service efforts on behalf of the
handicapped date back to the
pre-war period.
Smith pointed out that the Bu-
reau of Unemployment Compen-
sation, the agency responsible
for the Ohio Employment Sc
curity program, had made more
than "a, 900 placements of handi-
capped persons during 1945, al
most 1900 of those persons be-
ing veterans.
$4,000 Since 1948
Between January, 1948, and
The present, the BUG has filled
more than $4,000 jobs with the
handicapped, Smith said. Of
.hese jobs, well over 10000
went to veterans.
Comparing the $1,000 jobs
'illed with handicapped persons
asst year with the slightly more
han 1000 filled in 1910, Smith
stressed the fact that more and
more employers were beginning
o accept the impaired worker
IN the basis of his ability-were
to realize that disabil-
ty was no barrier to the worker
placed.

New Hope Seen
For tn Repeal
In Lesinski Move

ASHIN TON LPA)-
Fresh hope for Congressional ac-
ton to end the Hartley law
was seen by union men here,
with reliable reports that Chair
man John Lesinski ID, Mich. }
plans to set up three subcommit-
tees of the House Labor Com
mittee, one of which would tour
major industrial centers to study
the effect of the Taft-Hartley
law on labor-management rela-
tions.
Tentative plans are to set up
three subcimmittees-one on la
bor-management relations, one
on the problem of applying the
minimum wage law to Puerto
Rico, and one on the effect of
government installations like
large airfields on the school sys-
TENS in the areas affected.
Last month, Lesinski had a
bolished all working subcommit-
tees, after blow-up on federal
aid to education bills, and after
the closely-matched pro and an
ti-labor forces had deadlocked
on a second try at Taft-Hartley
law revision.
AS plans stand now, a COM
mittee chaired by Rep. Tom
Burke ID, Ohio) who is a Tole-
do CIO official, and including
Rep. Roy Wier Cd, Minn.) who
is an AFL officer, would tour
midwest industrial centers to
study labor-management rela-
tions.
The group would also include
Rep. Carl Perkins ID, Ky.) and
Republicans SamueN Mcconnell
of Pennsylvania and Tom Wer.
del of California.
Aim of the subcommittee
would be to have a try at pre-
pairing a version of ft-Hartley
repeal for the January session
of the Congress.

Italian Youth Gets
Film Break In New
Hal Wallis Movie

FLORENCE, Italy-Hal Wal
lis made a film find in a hand
some porter in Florentine ho-
tel and the youth is now headed
for a movie career in Italian pic
lures as a result of his appear
ance with Joan Fontaine and
Joseph Gotten during location
filming here for September"
The young porter, Paola Me-
lani, came to the attention of
producer Wallis and director
William Dieterle in the lobby of
the Hotel Excelsior when he
handed them the morning paper.
They were looking for someone
to play the role of an American
soldier in key scenes with Miss
Fontaine and Gotten and engag-
ed him for the job.
Although Paolo had never act
ed before in his life the natural
manner in which he performed
won high praise from director
Dieterle who enlarged the new
actors part considerably beyond
its original scope. Paolo became
a local celebrity overnight.
On the heels of the wide
spread publicity given him in
the Italian press, the cookbook
ing hotel porter received three
sareen offers from Italian film
companies and a representative
of the renowned director, Rober-
to Rossellini, invited him to
make screen test with pos
sible contract in view.

The measure was achieved in
spite of Mr.. Taft
Another clear example of the
senator's I'm for it but - act,
was the vote to halt the dis
graceful filibusters by which
Republican reactionaries of the
North and Dixiecrat reaction
aries, of the South are able to
kill real civil rights legislation.
"Mr. Taft, who exerts con-
siderable political pressure on
his party members when he
wishes, used none of that pres
sure in the battle to prevent fill
buster death for civil rights leg
islation.
ITO be sure the record shows
that Mr.. Taft voted to ban fill
busters, but the fact is that he
didn't vote until it was certain
that the filibuster team had a
safe margin.
Unholy Coalition
''It is also fact that Mr.. Taft
and Senator Richard Russell,
leader of the Dixiecrats, have
operated in concert of many oc-
casions. 1t is this unholy ceali-
ton, lead by Taft for the North
ern reactionaries aid Russell for
the Southern team, that has de-
feated much of President Tru-
mans Fair Deal Program.
"When it comes to FEPC,
Senator Taft has a new tech
nique. He wants to torpedo a
real FEPC bill, by introducing
this empty package, which mas
querades under title that
should really mean hope and
security for thousands of Ohio
citizens.
"Taft doesn't really want
FEPC, despite his I'm for it,
but attitude. He is trying to
kill real FEPC with this move
and no one in our state should
be confused by his tactics"
