Chicago Bans Race Picture
Whot Has tEjppened
To Wing Foocln Ong?

A city wide interest mas Deen
created in the facts revealed by
us and the majority Of comments,
brought to the attention of this
office, has favored our contention
that Wing Foon has no right to
run for the Legislature from Dis
trict No. 8 in the coming primary.
To support this contention, we
quote the Arizona Constitution,
Article VII, Section Is, which pro-
vides as follows:
EVERY PERSON ELECTED
OR APPOINTED TO ANY OFFICE
OF TRUST OR PROFIT UNDER
THE AUTHORITY OF THE
STATE, OR ANY POLITICAL
DIVISION OR ANY MUNICIPAL
ITY THEREOF, SHALL BE A
QUALIFIED ELECTOR OF THE
POLITICAL DIVISION OR NUM-
CIPALITY IN WHICH SAID PER-
SON SHALL BE ELECTED OR
APPOINTED"
On Aug. 10Th this writer direc-
ted a letter, addressed to Wing
Foon Ong, 1916 East jefferson
street, Phoenix, Arizona. This let
ter was later returned to the writer
unclaimed.

of the Police Department, in
charge of the censor division, said
the movie was banned under an
ordinance which prohibits events
tending to produce breach of
the peace, riots and unrest.
He said that other pictures deai-
ing with racial problems has been
shown there, including "Pinky."
and "Lost Boundaries" but that
in those cases the end of the pic
ture indicated acceptance or re-
concilliation between the races. In
'No Way Out" he said, the colored
and white characters appeared to
hate each other as much as at the
beginning.
"The picture hasn't, as see it,
any moral balance" he said. ut
doesn't serve for a solution or an
improvement of the problem"
The picture was reviewed on
August by the Chicago board
of censors, consisting of one man
and six women. The board recon-
mended rejection, and an appeal
from the distributor, Twentieth
Century-Fox, Captain Fulmer up
held the board. Police Commits
sioner John c. Pendergast has up
held Captain Fulmer.

article by Walter P. Fulkerson,

Negro Cited
ForContempt
OfCongress

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80 Will
liam L. Patterson, executive sec
retary of the Civil Rights Con-
gress was cited for contempt We'd
nesday by the Congress for re-
fusing to answer questions of the
house lobby investigating commit
tee.
Patterson was cited because he
refused to tell the committee
whether he is a member of the
Communist party. The house voted
238 to 106 to cite him over the
vigorous defense of Rep. Vito Mar
cantonio of New York.
Marcantonio said there has been
contempt" in the Patterson case
but it was on the part of Con-
gress, not the witness.
He apparently referred to the
fact that while Patterson was testi-
flying before the Committee Rep.
Henderson Lanham, Georgia DEM
ocrat, called him a "black sob"
and charged toward him in a men,
acing manner, being restrained by
two capitol policemen.
Prosecution of the contempt
cases is up to the justice depart
ment.

The announcement followed
talks by Federal Security Admin

ney General Nathaniel L. Gold

the way to overcome racial pref
udice was to bring it out in the
open.

Freedom House and chairman of
the Wilkie Memorial Building,
presented a citation to Mr.. Skour-
as praising Twentieth Century-Fox
for "its courageous tackling of a
vital problem" in this movie.
The message to Mayor Kennedy
stated: 1--WE vigorously protest the
banning of No Way Out which
we feel would help tremendously
! to improve race relations in the
United States and urge you to
rescind the narrow-minded and un-
informed action of your Police
Commission"

Freedom House, other sponsoring
organizations endorsing the protest
were the Anti-Defamation League
and Metropolitan Council of B'nai

Anchorage Club Loses
 Tough kAaFeh 10 Ps'mer On LcecI Rifle Range

Anchorage gun-men went down to defeat on the Palmer rifle range again last week, and the battle to the finish is on again. The clubs have been alternating wins and defeats on one another's home ranges.
 Week before last, the score was even all around with each team having won three matches on it's own range and lost three on It's opponents home court. That week Anchorage came to Palmer and won. to give the visitors the rub Der match and a mythical sea- sons championship.
 Anchorage, finding victory sweet to it's taste, optimistically re-challenged the Palmer squad to another meet on the local range, the match to be a 4O-shot belly flop" position, usually a strong position for Anchorage.
 But the defeat of the week be- fore had done it's work. Members of the Palmer club adopted new mode of life. Milk replaced cof- fee in the diet, sleep was pre- scribed for all at proper hours, ard calm and undisturbed round of days became the rule for all squad members. Fits of temper were curtailed by law It was even relatively difficult to engage Vern Donaldson in argu- .ment.
 And the Palmer training pro gram paid off last Friday night,

62 PREDATORS HAVE
 BEEN TAKEN HERE IN EIGHT MONTHS

A summary of predator control achievements in this district, in the less than a years time the work has been in effect here, was reported this week by Bob Burk- holder, predator control agent. MT. Burkholder is the second agent assigned to this area. His predecessor, Stanley Patrick, was here for only a few weeks before transferring to Kotzebue.
 In the time the two men were on duty here, total of 32 wolves and 30 coyotes have been ac- counted for by the Palmer pred ator control station, MT. Burk- holder said.
 Most of the work directed to- ward the control of coyotes this past season has been conducted in the area adjacent to Palmer, 1t was stated. Agents believe that vertical migration of predators takes place from the sheep ranges in the summer to the river flats in the winter. Therefore winter control efforts in this area, where the animal is concentrated, will decrease the number of coyotes preying on the sheep ranges Tn | the summer.
 Some control work for coyotes also was conducted in the Cop per River area, where the ami mals are known to be numerous.
 Control of wolves was concen- trated to the most critical game areas. Top priority was given to the Nelchina caribou herd, the lower Susitna winter moose -ange and the sheep ranges ot the Tazlina-K Klutina Lake area.
 Future predatory animal control work will be continued ln these areas during the summer, MT Burkholder said. There also will be special emphasis on wolf con- trol measures in the Talkeetna Mountains.
 In the past eight months, pred ator control agents for the entire territory have taken 148 pred ators, in all.

Tentative plans for a combined Palmer-Anchorage big bore rifle range, to be located in the Mata- nuska Valley, were discussed at the April meeting of the Mata- nuska Valley Sportsmen.
 It was explained by president Bill Smith that the joint endeavor would hold advantages for both clubs. There is no area available to the Anchorage club, near An chorage itself. Joining with the Palmer club, to construct range on the Sandvik property, would mean a sharing of both labor and expense, with a saving for both clubs.
 The local club has approved the plan, but Anchorage shooters still are considering 1t.
