Negro Pastor To
Appeal Conviction

Although forgiven" by Judge
Frank Hale for soliciting church
funds without holding a city IL
cense, the Rev. d. H. Griggs, A.
Negro pastor of st. Mathews Bap-
fist church in Spokane, was con-
victed in police court for illegally
soliciting church funds in Tacoma.
Griggs, fined $50 and costs on
the charge of Misrepresentation
made in his Tacoma campaign i'm
mediately gave notice through his
attorney, James P. Healy, of an
appeal to the superior court. The
court had earlier dismissed one
count of the complaint charging
Griggs made his campaign of Ia
coma business houses without
holding city license to solicit.
Greatest evil of the case,
Judge Hale ruled, was in the
showing that Griggs, in visiting
business firms and asking dona-
tions of money for his church
group, implied that his church
was in Tacoma, and actually To-
Gated at ZIG North j st.
Walter West, manager of the
Tacoma Better Business bureau,
who arrested Griggs January 3,
said he checked the North J st.
address and found it was vacant
lot.
Griggs produced numerous
church publications and records of
the Baptist Home Missions board
of Chicago, and state documents
from both Olympia and Indianap-
oils, Ind, showing he is an or
dained minister and for % years
has been in the pulpit of the st.
Mathews church in Spokane.
Records were produced from
church files showing Griggs had
in the year past collected more
than 81 900 in donations for his
church and missionary work.

WASHINGTON (ANP) = The
American Red Cross is standing
firm on its decision that it will
hold no national conventions In
any city which tends to segregate
against its delegates, it was
learned here last week.
This discussion was brought to
light when Walter Winchell, the
well known news commentator,
announced that the plans for the
1851 national Red Cross conven-
ton to meet in Miami. Fla, had
been called off.
For the past three years the
convention with its Approximately
5000 delegates has met in west
ern, eastern and northern cities,
so the Red Cross thought it would
be only fair that it go to the South
next year. In searching around
for southern city with sufficient
facilities to accommodate the
large number of delegates. Charles
Whitman, director of the Conven-
ton bureau, is said to have found
Miami the only city with suffi-
cient hotel space to take care of
the convention, providing it meets
there during the off season.
In discussing his plans with the
Miami Red Cross chapter, Whit
man is said to have raised the
question of housing delegates on a
non-discriminatory basis. The To-
cal chapter objected to any such
proposals, claiming that such
thing just couldn't be done in
Florida.
Not being willing to accept the
conclusion made by the Miami
Red Cross, the Convention direc-
tor is said to have personally con-
tacted the management of some of
the city's leading hotels, explain
ing that it had always been the
policy of the national Red Cross
to house all of its senior delegates
in the same hotel and all of its
junior delegates in another. re-

I'VE hope that every citizen who
can vote in the primary election
will do So" stated Mrs. Andrew
Gunby, chairman of the campaign.
Primary elections in the past
have created a smaller degree of
interest than the general elections
but the League of Women Voters
believes that the primary cleo
tons allow the voter a significant
opportunity to choose the really
qualified candidates. If the demo-
cratic processes are to function at
their highest and most efficient
level, the voters must be fully in
formed as to the qualifications of
the candidates they choose to rep
resent them. A good vote is an
informed vote"

Collectively. the 10 outsiders
seeking election to the city coun-
Gil this year are discouraged. They
have discovered that most voters
seem to be satisfied with the five
incumbents who desire to continue
in office.
This undoubtedly is the main
reason for the cloak of lethargy
now smothering the February %
primary election.
Turning into a new month, the
campaign remains as "coid" as
the weather. The "freeze"-in
regard to city offices at stake
could last clear through the
March IA final election.
Any interest developing after
the primary likely viii result from
several controversial issues =
housing, self-service gasoline sta
tions, the transit system manage
ment and daylight saving.
AS the outsiders present their
cases, they find that the general
public feels the present council is
doing a good job.
This widespread thinking is no
reflection on the ability and sin
certify of the outsiders. 1t is just
one of those things, tough hurdle.

Red Cross Rejects
Miami Convention Site
Due to Discrimination

/ the Negro members of the dele
cation along with the others. L.
spite of the stand taken by tbs
hotel managers. the Miami Rec
Cross stil contended that it would
not be willing to act as host to 6
national convention which insisted
upon the Indignation of races.
They feared that If Negroes
were permitted 20 stay IN the
same hotels with the whites
they might insist upon eating in
the same restaurants and de-
mand equal accommodations In
all phases of activities. This
they thought might upset the
whole system of segregation In
their fair city.
1t was learned that the local
chapter voted 20 to 8 to refuse to
accept the national unless it modi-
fled its terms. On the other hand,
the National is said to have stood
pat on its original terms, thus the
convention was called off in
Miami.
The business men of Miami are
said to be very upset over the
action of the local Red Cross chap
ter, as a large convention of this
kind would prove very beneficial
to the business life of the city.
Mr.. Whitman, who went to
Miami to make arrangements for
the convention, was i'll and could
not be reached for comment on
this situation. Howard Bonham,
director of public relations, would
make no comment on the recent
developments.

orally recognized that Seattle is
one of the best-governed large
cities in the nation.
That is due to a number of fac
tors, Laube asserts, including:
"a soundly organized form of
government under an effective
charter, and an exceptionally
well-informed public due to the
city-wide organization of civic
and community clubs in coOpera-
ton with the daily and weekly
press, and as a result, a well
selected personnel to administer
city affairs"
Jones believes that difficult gov
ernmental problems ahead car
best be solved by experienced
councilmen. It. is his contention
that the present council has ac.
complished more in the building
of a greater Seattle than any
other council in history.

ALASKA STEAMSHIP LINE TO REDUCE WINTER FARES

Beginning October g and contin- uing through May IS, 1941, 20 percent reduction in round-trip passenger rates will be available to all Alaska Line travellers be- tween any two ports served, it was pointed out. Last year the company reinaugurated reduced round-trip fares on voyages from Alaskan ports to Seattle and re- turn. This year for the first time, the company will make round- trip rate reductions available to travellers from Seattle and from and between all Alaskan ports.
 We are introducing these spe- cial fares," H. N. Peterson, gen. traffic manager stated, "in order to give Alaskans and the general public the best possible rates dur ing the fall, winter and spring seasons, when the demand for tourist space is not at its peak"
 The new sailing schedule covers weekly departures from Seattle from October 6, 1850 through March 30, 1851, and represents a distinct change from past winter schedules, in that all sailings from Seattle are set for 5 pm. Friday instead of II am. Saturday,.

Duck Hunting
 Season September 5 l October g
(BY Vern Haugland)

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman signed the annual duck hunting regulations yesterday - and gave Pacific Coast sportsmen a break.
 The 1850 rules heightened the duck-hunting season in the Pacific flyway-the West Coast states and Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Ari- zona-by five days, and increased the dailw bag limit.
 They reduced waterfowl sea- sons in the Mississippi flyway a like amount because of signs of a smaller supply of birds.
 Albert M. Day, director of the fish and wildlife service, called the Pacific flyway changes "an experiment in an area that can stand it because there are more birds per hunter there than in any other"

Alaska Steam Hikes Rates On Frozen Fish

KETCHIKAN, (P)-The Alaska Steamship Company's pending in- crease in southbound rates on frozen fish drew a barrage of pro- tests today.
 The Chamber of Commerce, the Fishing Vessel Owners Associa- ton, the Democratic Precinct Committe and other groups sent protests to the maritime commits sion's division of regulation in Washington.
 They charge the increase be- comes effective Sept. 1 and that no hearing has been held.
 (At Seattle, D. E. Skinner, vice president of the company, said a 20 per cent per cubic foot increase has been requested for frozen fish. He said almost all other cargo has had freight increases of 15 to 70 per cent in the last three years, but that the frozen fish tariff has remained unchanged since l944.
 Skinner said the company filed for the tariff increase 30 days in advance, as called for by law. He said the commission could grant the increase, suspend the increase pending hearings, or grant the in- crease, with the money being set aside until the outcome of the hearings).
 SEATTLE, P)-Pity the poor frozen fish.
 Starting next month the Alaska Steamship Company wants to hike the cargo shipping cost 20 per cent per cubic foot on frozen fish making the one-way trip south from Alaska.
 But this fall the company is in- stituting a cut-rate fare for Alas kans coming south after the tour ist season, provided, of course, they buy round-trip tickets.
