Threatened Strike May Cut Fairbanks Electrical Power

IHllNlON4NIAo, Af - I4lS NNdo lock between electrical workers and the Fairbanks Exploration Company continued today with no immediate hope of settlement.
 Local 1850 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Work CTS (AFL0 served notice on the company Wednesday that it would strike next Monday and shut down most of the Fairbanks area power unless granted a union shop.
 Company and union made COun- ter offers to handle any emer- gency service for the city is the strike actually tsarts. No decision was reached.
 Frank Angerman, Territorial Legislator and union business agent, served the notice in a letter to Roy B. Earling, vice president and general manager of the Fair banks Exploration department of the United States Smelling, Refin- ing and Mining Go.
 Angerman wrote the strike was to be called because of an 'abSo- lute deadlock in working agree ments" between the company and the union.
 City officials expressed them selves as alarmed over possible effects of a strike on the city.
 The company normally supplies municipal electrical demands over the 1,OOO-kilowatt capacity of the Northern Commercial Go. power plant. A shutdown of the company powerhouse operations wo u l d mean curtailment of electrical power to an extent whereby only the downtown section would re- ceive power.
 A further complication is that one Northern Commercial boiler is down for the present, being cleaned. This cuts the present ca pacity to $50 kw.
 Earling said the deadlock came last month when officials began negotiations on terms of a new union contract. The old contract expired May 1.
 He said union officials walked out of the meeting, refusing to ne goitate further, when the company refused to grant a union shop"

News of the World At A Glance ---
Friday. May l2, 1850 By The Associated Press


 The Big Three foreign ministers at their London conference today discussed plans to give the West German government fuller pow CTS. The foreign ministers of the United States, Britain and France considered easing occupation re- strictions on Germany during discussion of their overall prob lem-hoW to bolster western de- lenses against the threat of com muniSt expansion.
 The plan. presented by Ameri- can and British delegations, would give the Bonn government full diplomatic voice abroad. It would give the Germans power to issue exit visas and control their GUS toms.
 The plan also would unfreeze important internal controls, leav- ing the Bonn government fairly free to rule its people. However, the Allied high commissions would retain the power to veto legisla- ton conflicting with the interna- tional aims of the occupation.
 The French delegation was less inclined to relax these controls.
 A communique issued yesterday said the basic problem is how to step up plans for the defense of Western Europe without destroy ing the two-year-oId United States plan for European economic re- cOVery.
 The British admiralty annOunc- ed a British destroyer has recap tured the 564-ton British steamer Ethel Moller, seized by Chinese Nationalists two months ago. The ship, seized by the Nationalists for running their blockade of com muniSt China, was retaken with out a fight, the admiralty said.
 Warsaw dispatches said Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky, who left the Soviet army last November to head Poland's military forces, has been named to the Polish com munist party politburo. A shakeup in the communist party leadership was expected following the eleva- ton of Roskossovsky to the coun- try'S most powerful political body.

100000 Negro
Damage Suit In

MIAMI, Aug, Is -(INS)- A
100000 damage suit brought
against the Palm Beach County
School Board was dismissed Mon
day because the Negroes who filed
charges of discrimination against
the Board admitted the school IA
cilities are being equalized.
Miami Federal Judge George
Whitehurst, decided that h e
Negroes, who complained that their
children were not being given ia
cilities comparable to those afford
ed whites, could furnish no real is
sues for the trial.
The plaintiffs attorney, O. S.
Miller, admitted that the Board
has improved some Negro facilities
and is working to improve others.
This admission was contained in
Miller's motion for continuance
that would have delayed action on
the suit.
The Judge ruled that the attor~
ney's reason for wanting the con-
tinuance mullified the accusations
against the Board.

"We will admit to ourselves and
the Nation that education is of
national concern in 1950-America,
where only few short years ago,
twelve of our states had to fill
the military manpower shortages
of twelve other states because of
the inability of the latter twelve
to support programs of education
at levels best for the national well
fare"
Deploring the lack of money
with which to give boys and girls
an adequate education in every
state and locality, Miss Mowrey
said that despite the outstanding
effort at local and state levels.
there seems to be in this country
an unequal distribution of boys and
girls and money with which to
foster good programs of educa-
ton"
Herein lies another challenge
to all teachers" Miss Mowrey con-
tinued. "We are faced with the
challenge that our schools shall be
supported at a level to the best
interest of our national welfare
and as the most important means
we have of preserving and extend
ing our democratic way of life.
Group action and individual
participation are the best techni-
ques for securing progress in a
democracy. Believing that, | am
very enthusiastic about our profess

efforts to make education the vital
force it must become in our de-
mocracy, let us remember that we
each have a personal responsibility
for our personal participation.
"In this short life, and turbul-
ence of that shortness, one must
arrive at a position of conviction
from which there can be no retreat.
This position of conviction must eX-

attic follows two patterns. In the
older cemeteries, which were orig
inally open to all people without
discrimination, there has developed
in recent years the "unwritten"
custom of burying nom CaucasianS
in segregated areas. One of these
cemeteries doubles or triples the
price of plots and demands full
payment in advance, in order to
discourage nOn-white clients.
Abide by Contract Terms
The newer cemeteries have had
incorporated into their rules and
regulations such phrases as avail
able to Caucasians only" and ''for
burial of human dead of the Cau-
casian race only" Owners of these
cemeteries maintain that whatever
might be their present personal
opinion concerning racial restric-
tions, they are under moral obliga-
ton to abide by the terms of their
contracts, and that if they were at
present to change the provisions
for burial, they would be subject
to law suits on the part of present
lot owners. However, we believe
that the spirit of the Supreme
Court decision on racial restrictive
covenants in the sale of real estate
property applies equally to ceme-
teries. The Supreme Court ruled
that such covenants in the sale of
real estate are not enforcible in
the courts because they are against
public policy. If a cemetery owner
were to become convinced that
racial discrimination in the sale of
lots is morally unacceptable and
that he could no longer with con-
science support it, and if he were
to sell a lot to a Caucasian
in order to make d test case of 1t
in the courts; then we believe that
the courts would render the same
judgment as was given in the case
of covenants in real estate prop
erty. The temporary indignation
that this change of policy might
arouse in certain of the lot owners

after it appeared in our columns,
Minister Emilio Abello of the Phil
ippine Embassy in Washington ar
rived one hour late at program in
which he shared speaking honors
with the president of a local uni
versity. And the crowd, out of re-
spect to him, had to wait, including
university president.
We agree one hundred per cent
with the writer of that article be-
moaning the bad habit of coming
to appointments very, very late,
that the habit has been, unfortun-
ately, christened Filipino time.
How much Improvement can we
expect when even some response
Bile men in high official positions
cannct give better example for
their followers?
This habit is found among all
types of men, Government officials
included. We don't want to be
branded pessimists by thinking
that Filipinos are hopeless so far
as meeting their obligations are
concerned; but it will take long,
long time to correct this fault the
way things look so far.

over period of years, but as we see
no tangible improvements in policy
resulting from our years of COM
munication with cemetery owners,
we have concluded that the incen-
tive for change must come from an
informed and aroused public.
Cemetery owners maintain their
discriminatory policies because
they believe that is what the pub
lie wants; when they can be per-
suaded that our citizens prefer
democratic practices, we believe
that they will be able to find a way
to bring their policies into line.

TIME OUT
with the editor

We were amused with an editor
ial note in the Philippines Herald
(Manila)of August 81, 1949, which,
speaking of ]. (Julius) B. Ruiz,
states: "He was editor and
publisher of the tabloid weekly,
the Philippines Newsletter, before
he volunteered to the U. S.
Army !. -
There are two glazing errors in
the quotation: first, the Philippines
Newsletter was not a weekly. 1t
was announced as monthly publ
cation, but the only times we no.
ticed it were when its editor was
working in Alaskan canneries and
he published it on the side to aug
ment his summer earnings; second,
Julius B. Ruiz could not have vol
unteered to join the u. s. Army
when as of April Is, 1912, Mr.. Ruiz
made a written request to Seattle
Draft Board through the Cannery
gVO1hCIS anu A4dUOIC OH-
ion, Local !, UCAPAWA, of which
Ruiz was a member, that his induc-
ton into the Army be deferred.
Ruiz was finally indicted into the
U. S. Army after Local failed to
get 'deferment" for him through
the local draft board.
Ruiz has been noted for mac
curacies in his reporting, and we
will not be surprized if he, himself,
supplied this data to the Philip
pines Herald for which he is now
working.

A very able article on the habit
of many Filipinos to come late to

would be insignificant when COM
pared with the contribution made
toward the building of an inte-
grated community.
Objection Against Visiting Friends
A rather interesting point was
brought out in recent conference
with one of the cemetery owners.
He indicated that the cause of OBJ
lection lies not so much in the
buried nom Caucasian as in the
groups of friends who gather in
the cemetery for the interment
services and for other memorial
occasions. Zone might ask whether
on this basis it would not follow
that restrictions should be incor-
porated against non-Caucasians
going out to the cemeteries to visit
the graves of Caucasian friends.)
Petitions Circulated
During the past year our organ
ization has been circulating petit
tons urging cemetery owners to
change their racial policies in order
that practices within our country
might be brought into closer har-
mony with our announcements to
foreign powers concerning justice
and equality" More recently we
have prepared a leaflet which pre-
sents actual facts concerning the
racial policies of specific Gene
terieS. We are anxious that both
the petition and leaflet be given as
wide a distribution as possible.
Copies may be secured at our Of
flee, 5145 Arcade Bldg. The Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People is also TAX
ing action on cemetery discrimina-
ton. A resolution condemning dis
elimination was adopted at its re-
cent regional conference in Seattle;
and the various branches in Wash
ington State have agreed to con-
duct surveys to determine condi-
lions in their respective communi-
ties.
Support Promised
Two local cemetery owners have
been receptive to the possibility of
a comprehensive Civil Rights Law
which would include cemeteries in
its provisions. They have said that
if such a law were passed in the
State of Washington they would be
happy to support it. This is lead
which will be followed up.
The immediate need is for the
public to become fully informed |
about conditions in our local Gene
teries; too many people have no
idea of the extent to which dis
elimination is practiced. When |
enough of our citizens become
acquainted with the facts, surely |
their indignation will lead to some |
positive program of correction.
