=. President Truman's appoint
ment of an all-white three-mem-
Der Court of Military Appeals.

ticized last Wednesday by Walter

Mr. White told the NNPA that
the NAACP had rugged Mr.. Tru-

CIoture Support ;
Promised BY
Nebraska Senator

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
- Senator Kenneth S. Wherry cf
Nebraska, the Minority leader, got
quick action last Wednesday on
his promise of support for a change
in the existing senate cloture rule
and anti-poll tax legislation.
Wherry was the first one of
three congressional leaders to con-
fer with representatives of various
organizations attending a confer
ence here on civil rights called by
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
One of the things Wherry was
asked to do was to get Republi-
cans to use their influences to get
the Senate Rules Committee to
mold public hearings on resolutions
to amend the existing senate clo-
ture rule requiring sixty-four votes
10 shut off debate on any measure.
Wherry said he thought he
could guarantee that all six Re-
publicans on the 12-member Rules
Committee would favor public
hearings on such resolutions.
The conference was being held
in the room of the Committee on
the District of Columbia in the
Capitol and Wherry left to attend
a meeing of the Rules Committee
at 10 o'clock.
Shortly before noon, Wherry re-
turned and interrupted a confer
ence of the group with Senator Err
nest Mcfarland of Arizona, the
Majority Leader, to announce that
the Rules Committee had voted TO
hold public hearings on the clo-
ture resolutions and anti-poll tax
legislation. No date has yet been
set for the hearings.
His announcement was greeted
with applause.

1t is just as impossi 0,,@, two
deputies to patrol and p. 10 the
lives and property of ta4 layers

is for "a camel to enter the eye

The territory that is supposed to
be covered by these two men ex-
tends on the east from 18th Street
and the river bottom to Roeser

north to the river and back west
to 18th Street. This is only a

The SUN has been told, no mat

have to wait until these Colored

cording to residents who live in
these out-of-city districts, at least
three more Negro deputies are
needed. This paper has been in
formed that there are 100 white
deputies on the county payroll but
only two Negroes which is nowhere
near equal representation.
The remedy for this, the SUN
was informed by the supervisors.
is entirely up to the Sheriff who
does the hiring. 1--WE only ap-
prove the Sheriff's budget when
submitted" the supervisors said.
Other than the fact that this
is taxation without representation,
it greatly enhances the chance to
commit crime and get away.
There are far too many crimes be-
ing committed by Negroes already.
Many of us don't realize this and
won't, unless we attend the two
precinct courts especially on Mon
day mornings. Last Monday, Judge
Floods Westside Precinct Court
had the appearance of an all
Negro Day in session.
What is to be expected when
new influx of transient labor
arrives for fall harvest?
The only way to remedy this
condition is to get busy, and fast,

visors that you want more Ne

and also call the Sheriff about
submitting a budget to include
the hiring of additional deputies
for protection of Negro citizens.

 Asked about Civilian Defense appropriations and how Palmer could share, Huntley replied that all communities would be seeking help but that probably the Arctic coast needed it the most.

Reorganization Plan For Territory Good" Says Sen. HuntIey

Very little good legislation was passed at the last Territorial ses- sion, Sen. Walter E. Huntley told the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce at the noon meeting Wednesday.
 He declared he thought the reorganization bill "a good thing" and commented:
 ''The Territory has been run since. 1913 mostly hit or miss. Most people don't know what the different officers and bureaus are doing. If the reorganization takes place as hoped, the Territory should know, whether it's coming or going and where the dollars are spent.
 ''The new board of administra- ton is composed of the governor, attorney general, tax commission CT and four members of the legis- lature. The 3rd division got three of the four members-not bad. I think they all are good men. This should make decided change in. the administration of the Territory -.
