u. 5. Set 10 Lick He'll
Out Of Reds al Hours
Notice, Johnson Says
By the Associated Press

In some of the toughest Ian
guage yet used in the cold war,
Secretary of Defense Johnson said
last night the United States is
ready to click hell' out of Russia
on an hours notice.
"Joe Stain will know that if he
starts something at 4 am, the
fighting = power of the United
States will be on the job at am
Mr.. Johnson said.
Mr.. Johnson's words, delivered
to a gathering of 300 fellow alumni
of the University of Virginia, were
perhaps the sharpest to be aimed
at Russia by an American cabinet
officer since United States-Soviet
relations began to sour after World
War II.
Speaking from pencilled notes
Mr.. johnson said this Nations
defense setup is more powerful
than it has been since 1945. Then
he added:
I'm all we are doing, we are
seeking peace.
Only One Aggressor.
There is only one nation in the
world that would start a war
We seek to have a military estab-
lishment sufficient to deter that
aggressor and to lick hell out OF
her if she doesn't stay deferred
AS a result of the unificatior
law, he said. "the defense of the
United States is in better shape
and stronger than at any time
since the point system wrecked
it in 1945."
The point system was the meth
cd used to discharge service per-
sonnet after the war.
Mr., johnson said the country S
defenses are getting stronger daily
and will soon reach a point where
they will be ready for anything
in an hours time.
I'm the field" he commented,
"the sun shines on unification
and the Army. Navy and Air
Force are ready to go as a team.
There was no uniflcation at
Pearl Harbor," he added, "or
Pearl Harbor wouldn't have
BEEN"
Heard by Cheering Audience.
What's more, Mr.. johnson said
he is mot sure peace would last a
few hours" today, if Russia con-
sidered this country unprepared
for war.
Mr.. Johnson spoke before a
cheering gathering at the Ma
tional Press Club auditorium. The
meeting was sponsored by the
University of Virginia Alumni AS
ISOLATION.
Mr.. johnson said that despite
plans to reduce armed forces
strength by 100000 men this year,
there will be more men in COM
bat units ready to fight than
before the reduction" This is
being accomplished largely by
shifting men from desk jobs to
combat units, he said.

Bolivia Was Owner Of P-3S
In Disaster, Rios Says
By the Assoeio.ed Press

Eric Rios Bridoux, Bolivian
aviator. said yesterday the b.
livian government owned the P-3S
plane he was flying November l
when it collided with an airliner
near National Airport and killed
81 persons.
He filed papers with the Civil
Aeronautics Board In fighting a
move to revoke his limited COM
mercial pilots license.
Immediately after the accident
Bolivian authorities contended the
Bolivian government had never
accepted delivery of the former
United States Air Force P-38.. The
question of ownership is import
ant because of claims from the
accident.

Jackie Robinson Story
At State Theater
By Percy Yllla

Last week / took my son, Her
bert, to an advance showing Of
The Jackie Robinson Story" and
we enjoyed it very much. But be-
fore 1 start telling you anything
about it, / recommend it to every
parent and their children.
Whether you're a baseball fan
or not you'll like it, not only does
it serve a purpose because it's the
story of a man who fought
against overwhelming odds with
Americas greatest weapons - a
ball, a bat and a glove.
The picture starts with Robin
son as youngster and his de-
sire to play baseball on the sand
lots in California. During his high
school athletics and later when
he won an athletic scholarship at
UCLA, Robinson continued his
whirlwind pace as one of the all
time great athletes in nearly
every sport you can think of.
! personally thought Robinson
did a good job before the cameras
and showed no trace of his be-
ing self-conscious as he is in

the windshield, and tore through
the window. The second shot
went through the sun visor in
side the car.

tons and ideals" Raymond w.
Cannon, attorney for Keller and
Cassius, argued Thursday that
the Keller and Cassius versus
Paulson should be thrown out of
court because it had no legal ba-
sis. The argument took place be-
fore Judge Theodore Knudson in
Hennepin County District Court.
Mrs. Camille v. Keller, 1892 4th
Ave. So, and William M. Cassius,
ALP E. 38th ST., are being sued by
Alice and Silas Paulson on the
grounds that Cassius misrepre-
scented Mrs. Keller as white when
she purchased a home at 4544 3rd
Ave. So, Minneapolis, from the
Paulsons. The Paulsons claim
that if they had known Mrs. KEEL
Ter was Negro they would not
have sold the home.
They are now suing to regain
title to the property and have
prevented Mrs. Keller from occu-
plying the house.
Sheldon d. Karlins, also attor-
ney for Keller and Cassius, ar
gued that If Mrs. Keller was white
there would be no basis for the
suit. He said because Mrs. Keller
is Negro does not constitute facts
sufficient to bring the suit to
court. He went on to say that the
Supreme Court in the Shelley vs..
Kraemer case prevented the
courts from enforcing agreements
that contain racial clauses be-
cause it was a violation of the
14th Amendment of the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
The Minneaons Branch Of the
NAACP entered the suit as
friends of the court because 1t
feels the fact that the reason the
plaintiffs are trying to use race
as grounds TO come into court Is
reason to believe that this case
can have an effect on the housing
of the entire minority group
throughout the state.
Attorneys for the NAACP are
Sidney Lorber, r. Augustine Skin
ner, Bradshaw Mintener, Jonas
Schwartz, Chas. B. Howard and
N. N. Coursolle.
The appearance Of the NAACP,
as a friend of the court, is said to
define what is good public policy
while the attorneys for defendants
are confined TO the legal questions
involved. The hearing was on a
demurrer which tests whether or
not the complaint has sufficient
grounds to be tried in court.
Arguments were stin being
heard before the court as this pa
per went to press.

with that viewpoint. Then they
begin to see that there really was
little if any basis for their preju-
dices.
Time and again residents tell
the managers of prejudices eras-
ed. One white man moved into
Yesler Terrace with considerable
prejudice against Negroes; but
his antipathy was completely dis
PEELED when, during his wife's
confinement, their next-door
neighbor, a Negro, came in and
cleaned their house and took care
of her.
Mrs. Leila Hall, manager Of
Duwamish Bend Homes, Seattle's
largest temporary war-housing
project, has seen many changes
of attitude. Duwamish Bend Is To-
Gated in an industrial area, near
the Boeing airplane plant. Dur
ing the war most of the residents
were Boeing employees. There
were many Negroes from the
South and not a few southern
whites.
They learned to live in har-
mony. Many became close friends.
Most prejudices arise through
lack of understanding, Mrs. Hall
believes, and at Duwamish Bend,
families Of different races have
plenty of opportunity for real
knowledge and understanding.
Difficulties occasionally arise,
she said, from the juxtaposition
of families Of widely varying in
come levels, but seldom because
of racial differences. Three war
time surveys made at Duwamish
to find out the cause of tensions
showed only a negligible prefer
ence for segregation - and this
despite one occasion there when
a Negro attempted rape.
Most complaints were about
the lack of bathtubs and electri-
cal facilities, not about the racial
situation.
