approval and grant it's blessing
upon a State College for Negroes,
would indeed marthe brilliant re-
cord Of a liberal, democratic
Excellency's clear statement,
which political party in Ohio will
be guilty of perpetuating the Jim
Crow College that has existed
now for almost four years? His
Excellency has rejected the ideal
of segregation in education. What
party will bear the further blame
for the continued existence of
this monstrosity that has raised it's
filthy head in Ohio? It existed by
the permissive will and grace of
the former governor, Mr.. Her
bert, who was a republican. 1t
has been branded for what it
actually is de facto by His Elk
cellency who fills the governors
chair and who is a /, democrat.
Which party will dare to seek to
perpetuate it?
1T is GREATLY to be lament
ed that an able historian of the
race, a scholar who is familiar
with the collective history of our
minority group in America and
who has written about historical
and sociological problems of the
Negro in America, should be the
man who is the moving spirit be-
hind the establishment of a Jim
Grow College in Ohio. To me it is
most pathetic because no other
judgement a be passed upon the
man than that of traitor to the
Negro race. 1t is a sad example
of how the wise are duped and
used by the powerful politicians.
Moreover His Excellency's veto
message has afforded me an OPP
%portunity to ask another pertin-
ent question, and this question is
directoed to the National authori-
ties of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People. Why has this very power
full organization remained silent
about the real issue involved in
Jul dC W1lU0T1UICc .
This argonization has sent it's le-
gal staff to South Carolina, to
other southern states, even abroad
to champion the right of our
minority group, but has remained
strangely silent, has maintained
strict neutrality in the WILDER
force situation. Perhaps it can ex-
plain its failure to take action in
this case.
HIS EXCELLENCY might have
pointed out also that the State of
Ohio is spending taxpayers money
to sustain a sechool whose en-
rollment is largely made up OF
non-residents Of Ohio. This is
absolutely true.'A comparative

Statehood

Senator O'Mahoney again this week called upon the Senate 70 pass the Alaska and Hawaii state hood bills.
 The occasion arose when Sen ator Humphrey of Minnesota pre- sented a civil rights program to the Senate, and the Wyoming senator, chairman of the senate interior and insular affairs com mittee which reported the state hood bills favorably to the upper house some weeks ago, asked for Senator Humphreys support.
 The tenor of the senator's re- marks, Senator O'Mahoney de- clared, prompts me to call his attention and the attention of sen- ators who have been listening 70 his speech to the fact that there are pending upon the calendar of the Senate-tWo bills, the so- called statehood bills.
 Both those bills would accord the full status of citizenship TO the citizens of Alaska and Hawaii. In the case of Alaska, of course, there are many native Eskimos and Indians who would thereby be admitted to full status as citi- zens. In the case of Hawaii there are innumerable citizens of that territory - HaWaiians, Chinese, Japanese, and other oriental peo- ples-Who, if the territory were admitted as a state, would be able to carry to all the oriental world the knowledge that the United States means what it says when it talks of equality among the various people,.
 Senator Humphrey responded in the affirmative by saying, T will say very frankly that from my point of view the passage of those bills would be equivalent to a revitalization of our foreign policy, in terms of it's effective ness particularly in the Far East I feel that their passage consti-

vailable to non-Indians in areas where there are no other hospital facilities and where they are not being fully utilized by the Indians was reported favorably to the House this week.
 In reporting the bill to the House, the committee on interior and insular affairs stated that the enactment of the measure would reduce the net cost to the govern ment of maintaining Indian hos pitals and would provide a badly needed service to the non-Indian population in isolated areas serv- ed only by Indian hospitals. It also would result in better medl- cal care for the Indians, since the limited number of Indian patients is not conducive to obtaining the best doctors.

! special session last week and ap- proved a bill to extend the pres ent mining claim assessment year from July l until November l. The Senate three days later ap- proved the measure which also includes provision permanently changing the year during which assessment work is to be per formed from the l2-month period beginning on the first of July each calendar year to the l2- month period beginning on the first of November.
 The law affected requires an expenditure of at least Sl00 in labor or improvements of min ing nature during each year on all mining claims located on pub lie lands in the United States, in- cluding Alaska, with the so-called assessment year running from July l of one year to July l of the next.
 It is impossible to predict Whe- ther or not the House will join in following the Senate's lead.
 Inferior Appropriations Bill
 The interior department ap- propriation bill is expected to be reported to the Senate early this week, according to information given Delegate Bartlett by Sena- tor Carl Hayden, chairman of the appropriations subcommittee on interior.
 The Alaska program as ap- proved by the House includes S20 million for Alaska roads, $2,60O,- 900 for road maintenance, $7 mil lion for the Alaska public works program, S10,194,141 for Alaska activities of the bureau of Indian affairs, $2 million for the Alaska railroad rehabilitation program, S763, 763 for the bureau of land management, S2,752,000 for the  geological survey, S401, 1884 for the national park service, $512,000 for the bureau of mines and S1,896,- 037 for the fish and Wildlife serv- ice. Cuts were sustained in this program on the House side below budget requests, especially in the public works and road programs, and it is hoped the original funds sought will be restored by the Senate.

School Assistance

The office of education Of the federal security agency allocated si7.486.78 this week for assistance to the cities of Sitka and Nenana and to the Alaska Board of Edu- cation.
 The funds have been provided as federal assistance for current expenditures under existing law which provides financial assist ance for schools in federally af- fected areas. The total allowed this week for Alaska includes $l,- 075.67 for Nenana, $7,32089 for Sitka, and $9,09022 for Alaska s Board of Education.

 Presidential approval is await ed on Delegate Bartlett's bill which would allow until June 30 of next year the carriage of pas sengers on Canadian ships be- tween Haines and SkagWay and other Alaska ports.
 Congressional action was com pleted this week on the legisla- ton and as it went to the White House the measure also provides that passengers and freight may be carried on Canadian vessels between Hyder and other places in the Territory and the States.
 The House committee on the merchant marine and fisheries in reporting the bill some weeks ago explained the need for the waiver of law by saying: Until adequate American-flag steamship service can be rendered to Haines and Skagway at the Canadian end of the Lynn canal in southeastern Alaska, these communities may be suitably served by Canadian vessels in the regular course of their operations, if this permis- sion is granted for them to do so. Except for the much more eX- pensive air transportation there is no other way for passengers to move in and out of these com munities to other points in Alas ka or the States.

Army Rotation Unfair,
Amvefs Head Says

A letter criticizing the. Army's
rotation system has been sent to
Secretary of Defense Marshall by
Harold RUSSELL Amvets national
commander.
In his letter the veterans leader
attacked the Army's method of ro-

|gerviSts and favoring the "regu-
lars who have accumulated rota-
|tion points in the Japanese occu-
patton.
Mr.. Russell, who played the role
Of the handles sailor in the film
BEST Years of Our Lives" wrote
Secretary Marshall that "the re-
servists are again the victims of
empty promises" His letter said !:
1--WE were promised long ago by
the Defense Department that the
IreServists who served in World
War II would be released as
soon as new and younger men
could be brought into the armed
forces and trained"
The Defense Department said
it had no comment to make on
the charges at this time.

High Level Dancing Urged.
A plea for improved morals in
dancing was made by the Rev.
Francis .Lawlor. Of the Chicago
Catholic Youth Organization, at
the annual meeting of the Ma
Itional Association of Dancing
Masters held in Chicago last week.
Appearing on behalf of the
Christophers, a Catholic lay group
that seeks to restore Christian
values to all phases of public life,
the priest told the instructors: /:
You as teachers of the dance are
in a position to see that dancing
is presented on a high level"

convention of the Clean Life
League of America called upon
Congress to enact legislation pro-

At its 77the annual convention
in Boston last week. the National
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union approved a campaign to
keep liquor and narcotics out of
high schools and colleges by see
ing to it that clean, wholesome

To Combat Drug Traffic.
Noting the rising sale of mar
cotics among high-school young
sters, delegates to the Synod Fell
lowship of Appalachia, Presby-

called upon church groups of all
denominations to join with them
in their efforts to combat, by their
Christian influence and example,
the illegal use of narcotics.
It was announced, meanwhile,
that since last March 5000 Louisi-
ana Church youths had signed
pledges not to indulge in strong
drink. The pledge campaign was
sponsored by the louisiana Moral

Personalities and Impressions
By Jessie Font Evans

Arizona, the Nations youngest
State, has evidences Of a culture
in her Indian pueblos that ante
date the Christian era. It is q
land Of varied contraSts-ranging
from arid deserts to the wonders
of the Grand Canyon and the
snow-capped peaks of the noun
tains.
Wandering by automobile
through Arizona led us into the
land Of the mighty desert giants,
{ the tall Saguaros or cactus trees,
preserved in the Saguaro National
Monument Country near Tucson.
This reservation is dedicated to
these standing giants of the cac-
tus world and their plant kin.
Arizona has honored the Saguaro
cactus, too. by making the large,
white waxy blossom which crowns
its thorny heights in late spring
its State flower. Shaped like the
end Of bugle, it opens up in the
cool of the morning to almost the
size Of a small teacup, but closes
during the heat of the day.
During midsummer its purple
fruit ripens and splits open to re-
! veal a bright red pulp which the
Indians for centuries have used
for food. either raw or dried like
a fig. Its crushed black seeds are
utilized also as a nutritious -four.
All Of the desert birds delight in
this ripe fruit.
Other Colorful Species.
Various other species of cactus
splash their color patterns in un-
dreamed-of beauty in this and
other areas, with the soft voice
/ of the mourning dove seeming to
haunt the landscape long after its
song has died away.
! One Of the most spectacular to
/ US was the octilla, with it's red,
tassel-like blooms atop its great
height, resembling the red tassels
on the Sunday go to meeting
buggy whips of our grandfather's
day. Yucca plants grow by the
millions on the desert. Another
name for them is Spanish bay
onets" because of their sharp
. pointed leaves, but we liked best
the Spanish, or Mexican term,
''the Lords candles" because Of
their tall, white, bell-like bios
SONS. Yucca fiber makes service
able soap, sudsy and cleansing.
The broad pear cactus is another
species used for food. My cousin,
Virginia Willis, pulled up a par
ticularly attractive specimen that
was growing along the roadside.
But even though she had on thick
driving gloves. she had to pick
out many Of its Spines with q pair
Of tweezers. At our insistence, it
went into the car trunk wrapped
In newspapers. It survived more
than 1000 miles of motoring with
out air OF water and then bloomed
after it reached Washington.
Other interesting forms of
desert plant life that blcomed
along the roadside were desert
chicory. wild heliotrope, desert
mallow and sand verbenia. Oddly
enough. the sand verbenia has
