Anti-Sociol Acts Rore
Among Termites

BERKELEY, Calf. - (ATLAS)
-Termites are worth studying for
their successful handling of num-
Der of social factors, according to
DR.. Alfred E. Emerson. visiting
professor of zoology at the Univer-
sity of California.
They have solved the problem of
Indignation between the individual
and society, and anti-social acts
are rare in their communities. But
it would not be possible for humans
to copy their methods, for the in
sects act largely by instinct, while
man usually acts as he does as
result of thinking and learning, DR..
Emerson points out.
The kept insect COWS" for milk
ing and their harvesting of fungi
for food is an illustration of the
highly organized life of the ter
mites, says DR.. Emerson.

ORLANDO, Fla. -(ATLAS)-
The southern knights of the Ku
Klux Khan is making progress in
organization in the state of Ala
bama, and also in Florida, despite
rumors to the contrary. This is
the opinion of National Adjutant,
William Hendrix.
The Knights of Florida have just
entered into a working agree
ment" with the Alabama Khan
According to Hendrix, the agree
ment was reached at a meeting in
Orlando, when more than 200
members were initiated into the
new Orlando Klavern.
The Southern knights bunch is
an offspring from the original
Southern Klans, Inc, and has units
in Florida and South Carolina For
the past several months, it has
operated as an independent organ
ization. 1t is reported that Hugh
Morris of Birmingham, Imperial
Wizard of the Alabama Khan, and
several of his henchmen attended
the Orlando meeting.
Samuel Roper, under fire at the
flogging trial at Rome, is top
wizard of the Associated Klans of
America. He recently announced a
working agreement between his or
ganization and the Federated Klans
of Alabama.
The Orlando consolidation is be-
lieved to leave only the Klans in
South and North Carolina operat-
ing as a separate unit.

Mayor William F. Devin
I'VE believe that there is one
individual who deserves great cred
it for Seattle's progress. He is a
person who not only gives lip serv-
ice to the American creed, but
lives it daily. In 1914 he was one
of the first officials in the country
to appoint a Civic Unity Commit
tie. In 1947 and 1e49 he was one of
the members of the committee who
sponsored a state law against dis
elimination and only last summer
he passed the supreme test. He not
only was ready to welcome a nom
white family as a neighbor, but
made a courageous statement to
the press on the injustice of dis
elimination in housing. 1t is a real
pleasure to present the first award
to Americas top mayor-The Hon.
orable William F. Devin."
Mrs. f. F. Powell
No. two award winner has stood
consistently for fair play and equal
opportunity for all. She happens to
be city official also, and she is
an example that courage wins
more friends than enemies, for she
has always received more votes
than any other member of the City
Council. 1t is an honor to pay tri-
butte to Mrs. Powell of our City
Council, who spends each day try
ing to make Seattle and the world
better place to live"
DIR. Raymond b. Allen
This award winner came to Sc
attic three years ago to take over
the administration of one of our
largest institutions of learning.
Since the time he arrived he has
taken an active part in civic affairs
and has consistently cooperated
with community organizations.
There are many specific examples
we could cite-but we will point
to the annual Institute on Race
Relations which the University of
Washington co-sponsors with Civic
Unity Committee. His staff are
employed on the basis of qualifi-
cations without regard to race,
creed or color. We are proud to
present an award to DIR. Raymond
B. Allen"
Seattle Public Schools
I'VE now pay tribute to another
public institution, the Seattle Pub
lie Schools. In 1947 the first nom
white teachers were introduced in
to the schools and our public
schools have consistently worked
with community groups towards
eliminating racial discrimination.
We know the job has just begun
but If our young students today
learn the facts first hand it won't
be necessary to have agencies like
the Civic Unity Committee in the
future. We are happy to present
an award to Samuel Fleming, SUI
perintendent of s lie a t tile Public
Schools, and another person who
lives democracy"

Lack of Students
Causes Class Cut

ISTANBUL, (JTA)-The only
college maintained by Turkish
Jewry has closed down it's two
senior classes because of lack of
students, it was revealed here. 1t
is considered likely that more
courses will have to be abandoned.
The financial difficulties facing
the school and the inadequacy of
it's educational program are gen
orally believed to be the chief
reasons for the failure of Jewish
students to attend it. Jewish stu
dents have been attending French
and American schools after COM
pleting their secondary courses
either in Jewish or public schools.
The school was supported by the
B'nai Birth until 1928 when a
government decree barred all such
support from abroad.
