PARIS, July ia statement
issued yesterday by eight scien-
lists and indorsed by the United
Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization says all
human races are essentially alike
It adds that no biological harm
comes from mixed marriages.
UNESCO published the 1000
word report and called it the
most authoritative statement of
modern scientific doctrine on the
controversial subject of race that
has ever been issued" and the
most far-reaching and compe-
tent pronouncement Of its kind
ever made"
Prof. Montague Francis Ashley
Montagu, Philadelphia anthropol-
ogiSt, headed the group which
prepared the report. It said the
experts recognize only three races:
Mongoloid, Negroid and Caucasoid.
The word race" the statement
added. is often misused. It con-
tinued:
obviously Americans are not a
race, nor are Englishmen, nor

|AN Races Essentially Alike,
Report of Eight Scientists Says

Frenchmen, nor any other national
group. Catholics. Protestants, Mos
lens and Jews are not races, nor
are groups who speak English or
any other language thereby defin-
able as a race: people who live in
Iceland or England or India are
not races: nor are people who are
culturally Turkish or Chinese or
the like thereby describable as
races"
The eight scientists said they
believe that mental, Temperament
tai, personality and character
traits of all kinds are shared
equally by all races. They added:
Statements that human hy-
brids frequently show undesirable
traits, both physically and men,
tally. physical disharmonies and
mental degeneracies are not sup
ported by the facts. . +. Social
results Of race mixture, whether
for good or i'll. are to be traced to
social factors"
The first point of the scientists
main conclusions is:
Race discrimination has no
scientific foundation in biological
fact"
Authors of the report in addi-
tion to Montagu include Frank

Juan Comas, Mexico. and L. A.

Court Approves Split
In GE Checkoff Dues
BY the Assoeiased Press

NEW YORK, July IA plan
for splitting up $422,711 in union
checkoff dues in plants of the
General Electric Co. has been ap-
proved by Federal Judge John C.
Knox.
1t is estimated that about $225,-
900 will go to the CLOS Interna-
tional Union of Electrical Workers
and 100000 to it's rival, the
United Electrical Workers.
The CIO set up the TUE after
ouSting the UE on the ground of
Communist domination.
IUE Counsel Ben Sigal made the
estimate of the split yesterday aft
er Judge Knox approved the
arrangement.
Mr.. Sigal said that of the total
dues involved, about $4,000 is due
the company for administrative
costs.
The court decision grew out of
an agreement between the COM
pany and the unions last May
for division of the money on the
basis of which union won each
plant in representation elections
held recently under auspices of
the National Labor Relations
Board.
Minority employe groups In
some plants objected to paying
dues to a union they opposed.
The judge upheld the agree
ment, however. calling it "an
enlightened approach to what may
well have been a lengthy and
tedious dispute"

The fateful heroism of Wood
row Wilson transcends the claims

future by some form of world
government or world discipline
or by some formula of collective
security. the ideals for which
Woodrow Wilson gave his life
