A TIME FOR THOUGHT

Prejudice against for his color unpeas ant thing to the least and it's thing don't want in Kedak and haven't had in the past unless you consider isolated cases
 Now however charge of racial discrimination has been hurled into the cys face this week the result of the de- tanment of Negro and his later departure from town
 letter charging discrimination the part of law enforce
 t authorities here has been sent to the district attorney with the signatures of several Negroes and whites.
 We don't believe there is discrimination in Kodiak and sont believe the acton whatever might have been that was taken against the Negro citizen in question taken be- cause he Negro but because he may may have broken the law.
 We would like to point out to the people of his that they consider everything before crying discrimination and especially the possibility that person persons may want to oment discrimination and trouble where there is none for personal gain just to trouble.
 We suggest that the white people consider that white also do things and that what of his may do does not mean the whole is to blame.
 We don't want prejudice against any in this town because of color religion. We have always judged here their merits deeds color creed and that's the way want remain in our town

Town Tiidbits

Kodiak kids this week be- came firemen, cowboys and Robin Hoods men, as they happily started spending their money on the speciality hats which Ray Martin, July 4th program chairman, is selling. Martin has eight or nine gross of hats CT don't monk ey around with just dozens, :" he said), which he claims is enough hats "for every kid in town and some of their grand fathers.
 Martins Monkey Mckee may later be persuaded to model some of the tinier bonn cts but so far has refused to give up his red gingham bonn ct for anything else. :.
 Jacque Pardieu, acting po- lice chief and Kodiak Klown, says he has ordered a new clown suit for the July 4th festivities.
 The power outrage" Thursday afternoon was the first in a month and a day, according to Ole Johnson, KEA boss. That's the longest period in a year that the cleo tricity hasn't failed, he said.
 A silent watchman on one of the engines was tripped by vibration and shut off the fuel supply, Johnson said. Power was off in most places in town only four minutes. =.

Letter to Editor
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
 Regarding the present in dictment of the Alaska Steam ship Company by the Grand Jury feel that someone is off the track.
 have been in the transpor- tation business in the territory for the past fifteen years and in all that time I never heard anything that was not fair or honorable as far as Alaska Steamship is concerned. The company has had the interest of the citizens of Alaska in mind at all times.
 l feel sure that a fair hear ing will thoroughly vindicate the company. My personal confidence and faith in the A. laska Steamship Company be- ing made when 1 joined the organization two years ago and I am very proud to be a member.

Korean War To
Increase Vet
Hospital Shows
Nv nox,.J pafhoa
BY David J. Bethea

WASHINGTON. - (ATLAS) -
The Korean war crisis may change
the fall campaign plans of the Vet
Grams Hospital Camp Shows which
is the peacetime equivalent OF
USO-Camp Shows.
A fund-drive had been planned
around October, which would am
algamate with the Associated Ser
vices for the Armed Forces in a
single drive to raise monies to pro-
vide entertainment, not only for
the Armed Forces, but for the
wounded vets of World War III as
we'll.
1t is natural to expect that the
Korean war will dictate whether
The Associated Services for the
Armed Forces will go on a wartime
expansion. In that case, the Gov
eminent would set up an agency,
with the Veterans Hospital Shows
as a part of that agency.
If the present crisis continues
and deepens, the Presidents Com
mittee will reopen the former USO
clubhouses on local community
level. Already, such a campaign is

jackson College
Sets Summer
Arts Festival

Jackson College has again made
it clear that nothing will be left
undone to give the in-service teach
ers at the Summer Session the
best, not only in academic instruc-
ton, but also in whatever will add
to their cultural development. The
many hundred teachers who are
now attending the Summer Ses-
sion have come from all parts of
the State of Mississippi. Both the
President and Dean of the College
are determined to stimulate these
various teachers so that not only
will they appreciate more of the
better things of life but they will
also be better able to transmit
these qualities to their pupils. The
College has always recognized the
close relationship between academic
life and real life and has been
doing everything possible to CO.
ordinate these two aspects for the
students welfare.
1t is to that end that the Sum-
mer Festival of Arts will be held
on Thursday, August 10, 1850, at
Jackson College. The first part
of the program will orientate the
students toward how every area Of
the College is not only integrated
with each other, but also is nee
essary to give them what is need
ed to make life reality. The art
work Of students now attending
school will be exhibited so that
others will be encouraged to use
what latent artistic talent they
may have. In order that they may
appreciate the work of other peo-
pies, some African exhibits will be
on display. The climax of the pro-
gram will be piano concert by
Gladys Perry Henry who has just
returned from Europe, at 8 o'clock
in the College Auditorium.
Although the students registered
in the Summer School will have a
priority for attending this festival,
it is felt that the privilege should
not be denied others who won d
like to participate; therefore, the
general public is cordially invited.
For fuller information, please con-
tact Mr.. Bonnie ]. Cole, Public
Relations Director, Jackson Col
lege.

Probe OF Army
Bias In Japan

NEW YORK, July 27.-An i'm
mediate investigation "of the man
ner in which Negro troops are
treated in Tokyo and the elimina-
ton of the racial discrimination so
persistently reported" has been
asked by Roy Wilkins, NAACP
administrator, in letter addressed
to Frank Pace, Jr., Secretary of
the Army.
Supporting his demand for an
investigation, Mr.. Wilkins submit
ted the following quotation from
a letter received from an informant
in Tokyo:
"The American public ought to
know that racial discrimination
here is as fragrant as it is in
Georgia. And if the occupation is
doing anything successfully in ia
pan, it is successfully indoctrinat-
ing the japanese with the 'Ameri-
can way Of life which excludes
full freedom of anything to many
people, especially Negroes. In
many places such as the PIX and
commissary, one can notice how
japanese clerks in so many in
stances turn without question to
wait on a white face first. Much
of this I know to 'be the deep in
fluence of the Army's southern
element (Which is in great num-
ber)."
Mr.. Wilkins also cited report
that General Walter Leo Weible
had issued an order restricting
Negro personnel in the Army
units to one of four swimming
pools controlled by the occupation
forces.
