HEARINGS OPEN
ON FIRST MAJOR
BIAS CASE
BEFORE FEPC
BOARD

WASHINGTON - amp - The
first major hearing on Federal ra-
cial discrimination opened here last
week before the Fair Employment
Practice Board of the Civil Service
commission.
The hearings Is the upshot OF
complaints filed by the United Pub
lie Workers union, which charges
the Bureau of Engraving and print
ing in the Treasury Department
with systematically discrimination
against Negroes.
Union officials charge the Bu-
reau of Engraving with failure to
hire Negroes in skilled jobs, al
though 500 plate printers are en-
ployed. The bureau has never hired
a Negro in that category, and, the
union asserts, 1t has recently at
tempted to prevent qualified Ne
groes from competing for the job.
Both the Bureau and the Treasury
department have denied these
charges, as stated. The union has
waged a long, drawnout battle with
both the bureau and the Fair EN-
ployment Practice board. At one
time, it was charged that the board
baked on taking up this discrimina-
ton case

lance of Point Four" Program. AZ.
RIGA, which is not directly represent
ed on the Council, is the only under
developed area which has not vet
been subject of such a survey by the
UN.
The submission of this item to
ECOSOC by the World Federation
stems from unanimous resolution
adopted by it's Plenary Assembly in
Rome, September, 1949. It was first
suggested by one Of the African af-
filiates of the World Federation, the
Togoland Association for the UN. It
was then presented jointly by rep
resentatives of the Indian, South
African, italian and Togoland Asso-
Citations, and supported strongly by
the UN Associations of Sierra Le-
one and England.
In statement to the Agenda
Committee of ECOSOC, which met
on February l, Mr.. John Ennals,
Secretary-General of WFUNA, en-
phasized that his organization feels
the UN would be making a serious
mistake if it overlooked the needs
and potentialities Of the continent
of Africa, which covers 81 per cent
Of the earth's area and 9 per cent Of
its population.
He said further that the worlds
limited resources and it's ever in.
creasing population make it neces.
sary to conserve and use all resour-
ces nationally. If the living stand
ards of Africa were raised by the
development of it's economic re-
sources, world economy as a whole
would benefit in turn.
Mr.. Ennals added that such a
study should bear in mind the
paramount interests Of all local in
habitants, irrespective of color, race
or religion" and if an economic
commission for Africa is set up, it
should include Africans who are not
tives of African states which are
already members Of the UN, but
SHOULD include Africans who are not
directly represented in the UN -
i. e., representatives of the people
of Trust Territories and Non-Self
Governing Territories.
The World Federation of UN As
sociations is a worldwide organiza-
ton having consultative status with
the ECOSOC. There are 4S national
United Nations Associations through
out the world, 81 Of which are af-
filiated to WFUNA. There are three
UN Associations in Africa: Togo
land, South Africa and Sierra Leone.

Crossed Wires
 Black Out Boston

BOSTON, (R- Some powerful wires got crossed last night and that caused the big Boston black out.
 A power failure darkened much of the Hub in a hit-and-miss pat tern and parts of suburban Brook line, Cambridge and Belmont for about an hour.
 An estimated million persons were variously affected by the sudden gloomy Sunday but police reported no major harm done.
 Most hospitals switched imme- diately to emergency generators. Both Boston television stations were out during the eclipse and radio stations, newspapers and news wire services were affected.
 John Ahern, vice president of the New England Electric Sys- tenn, said the blackout came be- cause a wrong switch was thrown in station at Pratt's Junction, 50 miles northwest of Boston.
 He said that opened high ten sion lines which overloaded lines of the Boston Edison Company system.

Jap Fishermen Warned To Stay Out of U. s. Waters

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., P) A warning to Japanese fishermen to stay out of North American wa ters has been issued by the Pa cific Coast fishing industry.
 w. C. Arnold of Seattle, speak ing at the Association of Pacific Fisheries conference here yester- day, told two Japanese delegates that unless Nippon keeps its fish ing operations at respectable distance, serious trouble will re- sult." Japan's prewar fishing ranged frequently into American waters and was subject of much dispute.
 The conference was attended by Susumu Nikaido, of the Japan csc Diets fisheries committee, and Takei Iiyama, fisheries depart ment chief, who recently con- ferred with Washington officials. They expressed the hope the two countries can work together.
 Vance Sutter of Seattle was elected president of the associa- ton.

COP Want Critic On Foreign Rela- lions Committee

WASHINGTON, (P-Some inn portant Republican sentiment ap- peared to be building up for as- signing to the Senate foreign re- letions committee persistent critic of the Truman administra- tion's Far Eastern policy.
 A Senate COP group quietly backing Senator Knowland R.- CalifD for the committee post re- portedly is determined to keep it from going to Senator Morse R.- Or who frequently lines up with the administration on foreign af- fairs.
 That situation is likely to touch off a warm dispute if Morse renews his long-standing bid for a place on the key committee. The scrap py Oregonian, who is driving here from his West Coast home after an easy reelection victory, can be expected to put up a fight for the assignment.
 At present the Republicans have five seats on the foreign re-
