RACIAL BIAS STILL

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Despite
the anti-discriminatiOn provisions Of
the Taft-Hartley law, public opinion
and temporary federal regulations
prohibiting racial bias in wartime
jobs, there is still in existence the
practice of barring Negroes and
other minO1ities from membership
in unions on racial grounds.

many of the railroad brotherhoods.

In still other unions, while there
has been a dropping of the phrase

hurdles placed in the path Of pro-

on jobs controlled by unions, was
practiced against 'Orientals, Mexi-
cans. Indians and Jews.
Some unions play a ''two-faeed'
game by outwardly lifting the ex-
plicit prohibitions from their con-
stitutions in accordance with feder-
al, state and or local regulations.

MIS- is the true story about pretty young
l. doll called Miss Isabel Bigley who tackles
Broadway and gets to be the heroine of a
smasheroo musical comedy, but who is highly
unhappy for while, until everything turns
out all right in the end.
That is the plot. Now. here are the details:
A couple of Broadway producers named Cy
Feuer and Ernest Martin scratch up enough
lettuce to produce musical comedy based on
famous Damon Runyon story. In this the
atrical enterprise, all the actors are supposed
to speak just the way the late Mr.. Runyon is
accustomed to write. Mr.. Cy Feuer and MIR.
Ernest Martin start hiring pretty young dolls
to fill sundry parts, and also hire some guy
actors too, and therefore decide to call the
show Guys and Dolls"
Now, in the process of hiring, they get
around to Miss Isabel Bigley pictured on this
page who is born only a few furlongs from
Times Square, on a street called l76th. Miss
Isabel studies singing for some years, and
Mr. Feuer and Martin state to her:
Miss Isabel, we hear from unimpeachable
sources that you are quite thrush. We have
theatrical enterprise started and we will be
glad to count you in, if you have no general
objections"
Miss Isabel answers that she has no general
objections that cannot be hurdled and then
faints with joy.
HE next thing Miss Isabel knows, she is
the heroine of Guys and Dolls" and is sur
rounded with slightly untidy Broadway char
acters such as the late Mr.. Runyon writes
about For instance, Harry the Horse, Nathan
Detroit, Benny Southstreet and Big Julie
from Chicago This does not dismay her too

much, because in real life these thespians are
all fairly respectable citizens with respectable
names and families of their own.
What does give Miss Isabel a turn is that
the script requires her to rig herself up as
Salvation Army doll named Miss Sarah Brown
and reform all these citizens from horse
gambling and save their souls. To rig oneself
up this way is tough workout for a 22-year-
old young doll in her first part on Broadway
as you will presently see and come to
understand.
ANYWAY Guys and Dolls" opens in Phila-
delphia for its pre-Broadway tryout. The
audience down there goes mad. They shout
and scream. They practically throw thou
sand-dollar bills from the balcony. Even
one-eyed drama critic can see that this enter
prise is a smasheroo.
Taking her bows, Miss Isabel flashes her
pcarly-white biters to all and sundry, but
when the curtain rings down she bursts into
tears and nobody can account for it.
Miss Isabel rushes off stage, sobbing as she
goes. And all the untidy characters whose
souls she saves follow her to the dressing
room: Harry the Horse, Nathan Detroit
Benny Southstreet, Big Julie from Chicago
and Nicely-Nicely Johnson (the last being a
horse-player forget to mention in the first
place..
They all gather around her door and watch
her sitting there with her nozzle buried in the
handkerchief and shoulders shaking. and they
yell for the wardrobe mistress to take care

ASTORIA, Ore, Aug. IL - R =
Columbia salmon were rolling in
today as the price went up to 25
cents a pound.
One packer and union agents
announced the new price, retro
active to the beginning of the sea-
son April 80.
The former price was 17s cents
to the end of season on Aug. 26.
All other packers are expected to
follow the price raise.
Packers said that limited catch,
rlus the high quality, made it pos
sible to pay fishermen the higher
price.
Meanwhile, salmon hauls were
heavier than in any time during
the season. One gillnetter brought
in 1400 pounds of chinook The
average of all deliveries hung at
the 500-pound mark.

Statement Is Issued by La
Fargo Denying One by
Alaska Delegate

sfir 3
WASHINGTON. Aug 11-1R The
Association on American Indian Ar
fairs said today that Delegate Bart
lett of Alaska was inaccurate" in
charging last Friday in a House
speech that the association opposes
the Alaska statehood bill.
1.-THE association is opposed to the
anti-reservation clause in the bill
and asks that the clause be stricken
out" association president Oliver
LaFarge said in statement.
That clause prohibits the Interior
Department from designating any
Indian reservations in the Terri
tory until statehood is attained.
In effect we will ask that the
bill be improved by amendment"
La Fargo said. This is very differ
ent from opposing the bill.
Our organization and officers
have recently stated publicly and
in letters to Congress that the anti
reservation clause must be elimi-
mated because it is detrimental to
Alaskan native rights. will retard
the progress of the new state. and
at this time will endanger our
Alaskan defenses as we'll as the pres
tige and good will of the United
States" 1.
In his speech to the House, Bart
lett referred to the association on
American Indian Affairs in connec-
ton with a letter he said LaFarge
wrote Senator OMahoney, chair
man of the Senate Interior Com
mittee, on July rs.
Bartlett quoted portion OF the
letter in which LaFarge said 1T is
possible under the Alaska Reorgani-
cation Act of May l, 1896, for ma
tives to obtain clear title to their
lands by negotiation"
Bartlett then told the House,
THAT statement runs directly
counter to the conclusions OF the
Supreme Court of the United States.
I'm May of 1949 j. the Supreme
Court stated that the Secretary OF
Interior cannot dispose OF federal
lands through any authority con-
ferred upon him by Section OF the
Act of May /, 1886

Bartlett said, my personal convic-
ton is that these organizations de-
voted To the protection of minority
rights have been badly fooled by
a few individuals seeking personal
profit who are now opposing state
hood because they fear it would in
terfere with their highly personal
plans"

$3.50 Chance FOR
U. 5. Victory, Says
Strategy Expert

CAMBRIDGE, Eng, Aug. lid
The United States has only a $3.50
chance of victory in Korea, dis
tinguished British military COM
mentator said today.
He is Capt. B. H. Liddell Hart,
military editor of the Encyclopedia
Britannica, and author of many
books on war strategy.
Hart, speaking at the Liberal par
tvs summer school, said the danger
of defeat arose because the U. S.
had followed two conflicting poll
cios.
First, he said, President Truman
decided to evacuate Korea in June,
1949, declaring it to be indefensible.
Then, he added, because the
Americans could not bear to watch
it happen, Mr.. Truman took the
steps which staked U. S. prestige
on what was previously judged "a
forlorn hope
The danger of world war has
become acute through two contrary
American decisins--to withdraw and
