JOB BIAS
LICKED

Settlement of a complaint
charging discrimination in en-
ployment against a Greater
Boston electrical manufacturing
company was announced this
week by the Massachusetts
Commission Against Discrimina-
ton.
The complainant, a young col
ored woman, recently graduated
from a Western university,
had applied for technical po-
sition in response to an adver.
tisemen5 placed by the company
with the State. Employment
Service. In her charges she
stated that although her qualifi-
cations seemed to be satisfactory
it appeared by the attitude and
statements of the department
had that she was denied en-
ploymnt solely because of her
color.
Although during the irlveSA-
cation Of the complaint and sub
sequent conferences conducted
by Commissioner Elwood S. Nc
Kenney conflicts developed on
the issues of the case, in the
end the company reacted favor
ably to the suggestion that it
place the complainant in a
position comparable to the one
which had been denied to her.
Commenting on the case Com
missioner McKenney said, "This
complaint was filed by a young
woman whose educational quail
dfications in the sciences would
make her an asset to any com.
pany. It will be to the benefit
Of the company that her abilities
will now be utilized. 2 It should
be of particular announcement
to young men and women that
Massachusetts firms like the one
involved here when faced with
the facts Of reported oiscrimina-
ton are willing to take a fair
and intelligent position" d"
Investigation Of the complaint
was conducted by Field Repre-
sentative Thomas H. Freeman.

BACK PAY
BANKS

A bill to give Councillor Laur-
ence H. Banks his pay for the
more than 19 months he waited
to take his seat in the City
Council was engroSSed by the
State Senate Aug. %. BY the
measure Banks will receive more
than $4,500.
Banks assumed his seat in the
Council Monday. Aug. 6, of this
year although he was elected to
his post in the November 1949
election His election was dis
puted by retiring Councillor
Daniel Sullivan whose Court
moves resulted in a protracted
delay in seating Banks. The
Court ruled Banks the winner.
Sullivan'S final effort to retain
the Council seat which he had
held for u years was a plea that
the Council members recount
the ballots and render their
own decision. After two hours
discussion the Council rejected
Sullivan's petition 13 to l.
The Sullivan petition was
mainly supported by Councillor
James 5. Coffey of East Boston.
Councillor Perlie Dyar Chase
of Back Bay called the petition
a "ridiculouIs proposition, "
raised the question that the dis
puted ballots had been un-
guarded and might have been
tampered with and concluded:
Wen be held up to the scorn
of the public throughout the
country if this puny little Boston
City Council tries to oVerturn
the Supreme Court"

vans plea was made by Coun-

DETROIT, Mich. - The 36th
Biennial Session of the Supreme
Lodge and Court Of the Knights
Of Pythias, embracing the Uni
form Rank Department, the Dra-
matte Order of the Knights of
Omar, was held in Detroit,
August 10, "a, 1851, and another
page in the Book of Pythianism
Of N. America, S. America, Eu-
rope, Asia, Africa and Australia
has been recorded, showing that
the Order has made substantial
progress in all departments dur
ing the past two years under the
able leadership Of Suprem e
Chancellor, Sir R. E. Hester, and
Supreme Worthy Councillor, Sir
A. G. CASTOR.
The Convention was very
largely attended by delegates and
visitors from various parts of
the United States-from Massa-
chusetts to California, and from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf of
Mexico But when we assembled
in that great body of men and
women, coming as we did from
all sections of the country, East
and West, North and South, these
geographic designations wer e
eradicated. In our thinking and
deliberations of what is best for
the Order in general it became
clearly evident that there is no
East, nor West, nor North, nor
South, but all points of the COM
pass merge into one point
Pythian brotherhood and sister
hood now assembled in the great
City OF Detroit.
Some of the things stressed a.
the Convention were: Ways anC
Means by which our Order car
best serve, by preeept and ex.
ample, the communities when.
we live.
The principles of friendship
and a better understanding OF
the ultimate aim Of the Order,
namely, "To uplift the fallen; to
soften the asperities of life; to
subdue party spirit; to care for
the widows and orphans; to ele-
vate man to a higher plane Of in
telligence and morality this
type of friendship examplifed
and carried out by members of
the Order constitutes the best
ways and means of advertising
the virtues of the Order and, we
believe, will bring in a member

growth and development of our
Order.

Standen Twirls Savoys to 9TH PSI Win;
SaSaki Pitches OK but Errors Cost Tilt

Army-bound Dick Standen made
his farewell pitching appearance
successful one as he and Hank Shi-
buya teamed TO hurl the Savoys to
an easy 10-1 PSI triumph over
Lewis Ford WV at Rainier.
Sporting record of five victor
les and two losses, the mainstay OF
the Savoy pitching staff left for the
service Monday and unless some un-
foreseen event intervenes will pro-
badly play no more ball here for at
least couple of years. It may be
good news for the opponents but 1t
is bad blow for his teammates as
'Dickie's" strong right arm has
been the big factor in their so-far
good season record.
Having been member of the Sa-
voys for three years, Standen has
hung up an impressive record. The
team won two successive Northwest
Times baseball league champion
ships while he was doing the greater
share of the pitching. And STAN
den also figured as an iron man"
in spinning two important winners
for the Northwest Times All-Stars
who shared the consolation trophy
in the so Northwest Nisei Invita-
tional Fourth of July baseball tour
nament.
The young right handler has two
no-hit and one no-hit, no-run ac-
complishments to his credit during
the three-year span. His mono"
game was registered against the
Seattle Police this year and Is the
top Puget Sound league mound ef-
fort this season.
The Savoys now have record of
seven wins and three defeats and
have been one of the top mines all
year. With Standen gone, however,
1t will be tough Shedding for the
Nisei lads from here on IN. If the
Savoys can stay in the first divi-
sion till the end of the present pen
nant race, it will be a big surprise.
Getting back to the Sunday con-
test, the winners struck for three
runs each in the second and third
innings and romped in from there.
Lewis Ford punched three hits in
the fourth off Standen, who allowed
five bingles In all, for their lone
score. That was the only time the
losers threatened seriously.
Sub-shortstop Roland Kumasa-
ka put on quite a batting show in
the final innings, clouting two tri-
piles in successive times up to knock
in three of the final four Savoy
marks. Others who shone at the
plate were Bobby Kodama and Shi-
buya, each getting two bingles in
four tries.
In the eighth, pitcher Standen
and catcher Shibuya traded posi-
tions and Shibuya worked the last
two innings on the hill, giving up
one hit and no runs.

in one of the great ball games of his
career and still was the losing pit
cher when the Nisei Vets collapsed
under pressure again to hand the
league-leading Sand Point Naval
Air Station baseball team 30 de-
cision in tight, thrill-packed SUM-
day Puget Sound League contest
staged at Rainier playfield.
With good fast ball and an as
sortment Of sharp-breaking curves
under control, Sasaki kept the po-
werful Naval stickers off balance
most Of the way He struck out
eight Of the opposition and certain
ly deserved better fate than the
one that befell him. Several Sand
Pointers made the comment that
Sasaki was the best pitcher they had
faced all year.
The Navy nine struck for lone
run in the first of the third but the
Vets came back with the equalizer
in their turn at bat as Blotz Suya-
mas double scored Gaylord Iwasa-
XII, who had singled. The Nisei took
the lead at 2-1 in the following
frame, the fourth. when Jiro Yoshi-
take singled, advanced as batter
was hit by pitched ball. and spik-
ed the plate when Sasaki hit grass
cutter over second base.
From then on, the game settled
down to a real mound duel between
Sasaki and Bill Marsh, the Sand
Point hurting ace; with both OF
them moving the hitters down. AS
the teams battled into the stretch, ?
tense atmosphere settled on the
players, especially the Vets who saw
an upset In the making.
Trouble for the NVCers came in
the eighth when triple followed
by an error with no one out enabled
the tying run to score for the Ma
valairs. Sasaki bore down and re-
tired the side with no further da-
mage in that inning and 1t still was
anyone's ball game.
In the ninth, the end came in a
costly fashion as a miscue on play
that should have been the third out
let the Sand Point team come
through with the winning margin.
The decisive factor during the af-
ternoon was the errorless ball play
ed by the winners.
Catcher Tommy Deguchi was the
only player on either side to get two
hits during the day.

Chariot in the Sky is the remark
able story of the Jubilee Singers
who saved the life of Fisk Univer-
sity in its early days. The story is
concerned mainly with Caleb who
rose from a runaway slave boy to
become one of the famous Sing
ers. Caleb had been apprenticed
to 2 tailor in charleston before the
Civil War. While working in the
tailor shop he taught himself to
read and write but he wanted to
learn more. He heard Of the Fisk
School in Nashville where freed
men we're taught after the war.
Caleb went to Nashvill and became
friend of the school treasurer,
George L. White, who formed the
band of Jubilee Singers to raise
funds to keep the scnool open Aft
er several failures the Jubilee
Singers found real success in 0ber-
lin, Ohio. They became more and
more popular and made enough
money not only to keep the school
open, but also to buy a site for a
new school.
