Round The Edges
At "Tech"
By Dorothy Mae Corbray
Friends,

Greetings, FRIENDS,
Everyone is excited over Techs
Basketball game that will be played
next Friday night. 1t will be held
in Yuma, AriZ. The games played
last Friday with Phoenix Union in
Techs gym was big success. The
''Hornets" rolled over the Coyotes
and came up with a stinging score
of 59-47. Frank Tease and George
Sandoval were the high point men
from Tech. Techs Junior Varsity
and Freshman team won their
game from the young coyotes also.
Award assembly was held Friday,
Dec. Z, for the football players,
and three minutes of APPLAUSE went
to David Hicks and George Aitkens,
who made the All-State team.
Students started putting in their
orders for the big Technician An
nual which can be purchased for
$2.75 by activity card holders and
$3.50 by others.
Orders are also being taken for
the Junior class rings. They will
arrive sometime in the summer so
that the Junior class can wear them
throughout the Senior year. The
prices of the rings vary from $3.50
to $4,000.
All of the girls at school are
busy buying formals and finding
dates for the Winter Wonderland
Ball which will be held in the
Phoenix Tech Auditorium Saturday
night from 9 until II.
Thought of the Week: A bache-
lor is a man who thinks he should
know all his life before proposing.
Joke of the Week: Girls who
thinks they know it all sometimes
find themselves going with ques-
tionable boys.
That's all for now, friends. See
!. you next week.

VA Trying To Solve
.0ufpatienf Problem

Veterans Administration an
nounced it is trying to solve the
problem of providing hospitaliza-
ton and outpatient treatment for
several thousand veterans with
mental illness who might qualify
for such, care under a new law.
The new law (Public Law 239,
enacted October 80, 1851 pro-
vides that for the purpose of VA
hospital and medical care, includ-
ing outpatient treatment, World
War II veterans and those with
service since June 27, 1850, who
develop an active psychosis with
i'll two years from the date of
separation from active service
shall be deemed to have incurred
the disability in active service.
Before the law was passed,
many such veterans were classi-
fled as nonService-connected cases
and thus entitled to VA hospitali-
zation only when bed was avail
able in a VA hospital, providing
they signed a statement that they
could not afford the treatment
elsewhere. However, they were
not entitled to outpatient treat
ment at VA expense
VA is now faced with the task
of reviewing the cases of approxi-
mately 5000 World War II veter-
ans awaiting disqualification who
have psychosis classified as non
service-conected. Those found eli
gible will lbe reclassified as serv-
ice-connected which gives them
priority for disqualification and
makes them eligible for outpa-
tient treatment.
Under the new law, World War
II veterans and those with service
in the Armed Forces since June
27, 1850, who have developed an
active psychosis within two years

Freer Hand Urged
For Grand Juries
lin Probe Activities
Bv the Associated Press

A committee of five judges will
look into proposal to let Federal
grand juries conduct investiga-
tions on their own initiative.
This was announced yesterday
in the annual report Of the Judi
cial Conference of the United
States, set up by Congress to study
the Federal courts and recon-
mend measures for improvement
of their operations.
The proposal to allow Federal
grand Jurors to inquire into what
ever they see At. rather than just
the matters put before them by
United States attorneys. was ad-
vanced by the Association of
Grand Jurors of San Francisco.
The group, composed of former
members of grand juries in San
Francisco, made its recommended
ton after a dispute over grand
ljury's effort to probe earlier this
year into the Internal Revenue
Bureau Office there.
The grand jury was dismissed
by the presiding judge when he
learned of its activities. He said
that if it branched off into mat
ters it was not specifically en-
powered to work on, its findings
would be open to question.
The proposal to give Federal
grand juries a freer hand was
turned over by the judicial con-
ference to its committee on the
jury system, A report is due on
it next September.
Members of the committee are

The Importance Of all these re-

is that the leading organization

ly all those who cannot work be-
cause of illness or non-industrial
accidents, just as industrial work
rs now get these same benefits
through Workmen's Compensation
Liability insurance, if they r
hurt while at work.
On the subject of minimum
wages, the delegates urged an
increase in the minimum wage
to $1.O0 an hour, and extend
ing the minimum wage low to
domestic workers and farm
workers.
The convention delegates put
themselves on record against the
attempt in the name of estates
Rights" to turn back the rich
coastal oil reserves off the shores
of Louisiana, Texas and Califor-
MIA, which have been declared by
the Supreme Court to belong to
the people Of all the nation, to the
states and through the states to
the oil companies. 1t favored in
stead using the profits from these
off shore oil reserves to help fl
ance better non~segregated educa-
ton in all the states.
THE DELEGATES WERE wise
to the quiet attempt being made
by millionaires in all the states to
get the state legislatures to sup
port an amendment to the con-
| stitution to limit income taxes to
not over. rs percent, so that
the poor would have to bear the
burden of taxation ven more
| than they do now.
Finally, the convention, follow
ing up on the strong resolution
against Communism adopted at
the previous convention in Bos-
ton, declared that the aims of the
Communists and their fellow
travellers and the aims of the N
AACP were completely incom-
patible.
The resolution on this sub
ject made it plain that the aims
of the Communists and their
fellow travellers are to establish
here a one-party dictatorship,
thus wiping out the rights of
free speech, free press, and
free assembly, and the right to
hold elections with competing
candidates and after free dis
custom; and meanwhile, the
Communists faithfully uphold
whatever happens to be the
foreign policy of Soviet Russia.
The aim Of the NAACP, on the
contrary, is to strengthen Ameri-
can democracy by urging COM
pletely equal rights for all citizens
regardless of race or color.
Since any organization has the
right to restrict membership to
those who support it's policies and
principles, the convention accord
ingly authorized the branches to
keep out Communists and theil
fellow travellers because they are
not in accordance with the prin.
ciples and policies of the NAA.
CP, subject, of course, to the
right Of appeal to the board.

sometimes overlooked, that the
convention took a strong stand
for the rights and claims of those
who suffer. from poverty, as we'll
as the rights Of those who suffer
from racial discrimination. The
convention resolution on democra-
tic trade unionism, for example,
put the NAACP squarely on re-
cord to support the AT. Of L. and
le c. I. o.; and the non-Com-
munist independent unions such as
the United Mine Workers as long
as they have no color bar.
It pointed out that unions are
invaluable in helping to keep up
the purchasing power of the mass
es of people so as to prevent I'M
employment W depression
threatens, and that they help to
make possible an increase in pay
equal to the increased cost of liv-
ing, when, as now, initiation is
the problem. It noted that Negroes
are gaining increasing recognition
in the trade union movement, and
that more Negroes are members
of trade unions than are members
of the NAACP itself. There are
two Negro trade union presidents,
A. Philip Randolph of the Brother
hood Of Sleeping Car Porters, A.
F. of L., and Willard Townsend
Of the United Transport Employ
ees, C. I. o.; and they are both
vice presidents Of the NAACP.
The trade union resolution
called on the branches and state
conferences of the NAACP to
work jointly with the recogniz-
ed trade unions wherever posi-
BILE, and specifically condemned
any support being given or re-
ceived from the small and
dwindling number of Commun-
Uncontrolled unions.
While it did not mention the
New York Branch of the NAACP
by name, the trade union resolu-
ton clearly condemned the prac-
tice of that branch in accepting
advertisements and economic aid
from the Communits unions,
since such action inevitably cuts
the branch off from any chance
of getting real aid from the legi-
innate and much stronger trade
unions in the AT. of L. and the
G. + O.
THE A A ALSO went on
record in favor of better social
security. This would include, for
example, extending the benefits OF
unemployment insurance to people
now excluded. 1t hailed the sue
cess of President Truman, in one
of his few victories in dealing
with a reactionary Congress, in
getting old age benefits extended
to people who were. outside the
list of beneficiaries until recently,
such as domestic workers, farm
workers and the employees Of non
profit organizations such as col
leges, churches or charities.
