Hunting and Fishing
Brevities
Carl Fraction
Carl Fraction

Reports around the state on
the first two weeks of the fishing
season were somewhat disappoint-
ing. Cold weather and ice in many
of the lakes has caused the fish to
spawn later than usual. However,
with this existing condition there
were a few excellent catches of
walleyes, panfish, and a few
northerns. Gull Lake, Mile Laos,
and Minnetonka, were among the
lakes that reported fine strings
There is a report that Minnehaha
Creek has few northerns run
ming.
Most of the fish that were
caught were taken on worms, min
nows, and flies, in water of six
feet deep of less. Fishing should
improve along with the weather.
For all you good souls who fish
with worms, here is an excellent
method of getting them without
digging. Mix a quarter cup Of clor-
OK On a gallon of water and
sprinkle where worms are likely
to be found. When they come TO
the surface pick them up and wash
them off in clear water and put
them in a container of black dirt
A small amount of table scraps
are sufficient as food for them
When properly cared for. worms
can be kept all year long.

The convention of the CIO

divlsive forces be vigorously
fought. The UPWA is the first
union to conduct such a survey on
a national scale.
The Race Relations Department
at Fisk University Is furnishing
the technical services for the I'm
biased direction Of the survey.
John Hope II, is the technical dir
cctyr of the survey. After the
data from an area has been com
putcd, the union uses this data to
base its strategy to combat dis
elimination in the local union, on
the job and in the community.
Kansas City, the first area TO
be served has as "a result elimi-
mated plant discrimination,
broken down Jim Crow in the
theatres and in some restaurants
near the plant and more parti-
cipation by minority members In
union affairs.
A survey is now being conduct
ed in Atlanta, Ga, one is to start
June u in Fort Worth, Texas and
survey is being planned for
Omaha, Ncbr.
Firmly convinced of their policy
Of complete racial equality, the
UPWA Convention reelected Rus
sell L. Lasley and Arthur Morri-
son to the posts of Vice-President
and Director respectively. The
election of Lasley and Morrison
placed them on the unions Execu-
tive Board. The UPWA is one of
the few large unions to have
minority members on the execu-
tive board and one of the rare
Inions that have a vice-president.
Amidst a thunderous ovation,
Russell L. Lasley was reelected
by reclamation Vice-President of
The UPWA. Lasley was audibly
moved by the demonstration in his
honor nevertheless is determined
to do all in his power that the
policy Of the union is carried out.
Lasley, who is from Waterloo,
Iowa, heads the unions publicity,
grievance and wage rate, farm
labor and INSTRUMENTATION de-
partments.
Because of his ability and not
his race was the reason that Son
ny Morrison was elected Director
of District 8, which is composed
of all states west of the Rockies
except Montana. District has the
Negro membership of any
of the districts in the United
States. Morrison who spent 25
years in the Los Angeles Cudahy
plant has a long record in the
union, was reelected by a large
majority over his closest opponent.

There were no complaints or

had been Disseminated against or
had received any discourteous
service in any bars, restaurants,

A large number Of delegates
complained because Murray fall

Allen Haywood's reference to

Bach Wants Gambling Data
Turned Over 10 Grand Jury

Fred Bach, Democratic candi-
date for the Arlington County
Board. said today that a recent
special committee to investigate
the police department should turn
over any information it has on
gambling operations to a grand
jury.
He criticized a section of the
committees report in which it was
indicated that an interview with
the county board was sought to
discuss additional information on
gambling.
The candidate has issued several
statements criticizing the commit
tee members as being hand
picked" by his opponent. Daniel
A. Dugan, non-partisan. Mr..
Bach said:
IF gambling activities are as
widespread as the committee is
supposed to have found, they owe
duty to the public to make an
immediate disclosure of the facts
so that a grand jury can in
vestigate."
Mr.. Dugan denied the commit
tee was hand-picked by him.

Rival Baltimore Groups
! Agree on Voting Machines

TOWSON, Md. Sept. 81 (P.-
Leaders of Baltimore County's RI
val Democratic Party factions
agreed today it's about time the
county abandoned the stagecoach
era and adopted voting machines.
1t was good news to political OBJ
servers, who have complained
loudly and long about the county's
lateness in reporting election re-
turns.
Mondays primaries apparently
convinced every one the machines
were about due. For today the
old-fashioned hand ballots from
the primaries still were being
counted by polling place officials
with ebbing strength.
Christian H. Kahl, president of
the Board of County Commits
sioners, was one of the leaders
who said this removed all previous
doubt about the advisability of
installing machines for the next
primaries. He was renominated
Monday.
Also nominated was H. Street,
Baldwin, former Representative
who heads the faction which has
been trying to overthrow Mr..
Kahls forces in the county. Mr..
Baldwin said:
Voting machines will definitely
be in use in the next county pri-
mary if I have anything to say
about it."
The third commission post was
a nip-and-tuck contest between a
Kahl supporter and Baldwin ad-
herent. The winner still has not
been disclosed.
