NATIONS, N. :

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
A new international conven-
ton on the protection of refugees
replacing those of the past will
come into being as a result of the
special conference of plenipoten-
tiaries held last month in Geneva
under the sponsorship of the Uni
ted Nations.
So far as the text of this con-
vention goes, the legal projections
it affords to the dispossessed are
considerable, and refugees and
stateless persons in the countries
who become signatories to the
pact will be better off than they
were, They will be assured equal
treatment in such rights as access
to the courts, social security bene-
fits and relief, employment and
self-employment and many other
basic domestic rights.
Unfortunately. however. and
due chiefly to the exigencies of
the cold war. there will be two
grave drawbacks to this conven-
ton. How seriously they will
weaken its general application
will be seen only with time.
One of these drawbacks is the
prevalence of loopholes for the
sake of national security" fear
that dominated much of the &C.
neva discussion and sprung, Of
course, from the suspicious and
distrusts that have been engend-
cred by cold-war diplomacy.
Hence, under the new pact, refu-
gees will not have real freedom of
movement, for example, and their
documents will be subject to the
same limitations of aliens gener-
ally. These limitations are grow
ing more and more severe in all
countries as the cold war intensi-
fieS.
The meeting in Geneva. in fact.
became dominated by fears for
national security" and this form
of qualifying clause crept into a
number of the provisions of the
convention.
The second weakness is far
greater. This is the apparent un-
willingness of the most important
nations involved in the refugee
problem to become signatorieS of
the convention. The United States
has let it be known bluntly that
it does not consider such treaty
to apply in its own case on the
ground that refugees are already
treated here on the same basis as
aliens in general. 1t became ap-
parent at Geneva from the re-
servationS injected by the Ameri-
can representative that fear for
national security" played an i'm
portant role in the American de-
cision to stay outside the terms
of the convention.
It is expected that other ma
tions. including France and Brit
ain. may follow the American
lead. and this is a discouraging
prospect. because the fact is that
the legal status of many refugees
is not clear in these countries. For
example. one Of the most impor-
tant provisions Of the new con-
vention is that which prohibits
penalties to be imposed against a
refugee who may have entered
the country of asylum illegally
but who may not find asylum
elsewhere and presents himself
promptly to the authorities. There
is no automatic protection for

The Power Behind the Throne
MRS. IRENE MILLER
Race Relations Adviser

Mrs. Irene Miller, Race Rela-
tions Adviser, performs her duties
so quietly-she is back in her Of
flee, hard at work, without any hint
of the magnitude of her daily rou-
tune. Nor will we ever forget the
magnificent performance of Mrs.
Irene Miller, head of the Housing
Authority. She looked upon our
housing projects as property of the
u. S. Government - therefore no
discrimination in placing appli-
cants for homes. The Northwest
Enterprise looks upon Mrs. Irene
Miller as one of the finest execu-
tives in her department and
among the most popular.
Upon being confirmed as mem
Der of the FEPC, the Rev. F. w.
Pennick took his appointment SER
iously, surveyed his grounds, visual
ICED his employer and quietly vi
sited employers who gave him
audience. None refused him. In
fact, some met him half way and
others walked a mile. When the
FEPC law became effective, the
Rev. F. w. Pennick had so thor
oughly canvassed the city he had
little to do. Other assistants in
the FEPC department, all are in
harmony - and we gratefully ac-
knowledge their efforts to make
the law workable.

Seattle Civic Leaders Contribute Much to Negro Advancement
The w. Hove

In busy Seattle, biggest
seaport of the prosperous
Northwest, Negroes are dis
covering new opportunities,
especially in the field of
employment. This year, Sc
attic counts 10000 Negroes
among it's citizens. In 1910,
there were only 5000. And
they are happy because Sc
attic today, thanks to Mayor
Bill Devin, is a progressive
thriving city.
When Mayor Devin saw
the continual increase in the
city's Negro population, he
organized the Civil Unity
Committee to meet new prob
lens and avoid any possible
racial conflict.
That foresight has paid
off. Today, the results are
seen in the Com munity
Chests integrated staff; the
Council of Social Agencies,
which spearheaded the drive
for a State FEPC; the open
door policy of the Seattle
Hotel Association; the Bowl
ing Associations opposition
to the ABC's old bias and the
Mayors personal instruction

use Negro cops everywhere
in the CITY,"
All of this would amaze

An appeal has been made to
Seattle housewives to help aid in

of instruments recorded by

In the House on Tuesday the
prayer was offered and the
journal read. Corrected and
approved.
Mr.. Manahan requested that
Mr.. H. H. doe" Dougherty, the
dean of the legislative CORES
pondent who has served in the
House and Senate as a reporter
for 38 years be escorted to the
roStrum to receive the acclaim
of the House on his last day of
such service.
A committee escorted Mr..
Daugherty to the speakers dais
where he spoke of his service
and friendships in both House.
He has known many notables in

CURED the country, seeking cleo
ton.
Several motions, reports and
resolutions were introduced.
Some adopted, the rest were laid
over under the rules.
Wednesday the House and
Senate met in the house cham
bers. Lieutenant Governor Nye
presided. The purpose of the
joint convocation was to listen
to the governors message on the
state of the State, which is
similar to the presidents "State
of The Union" speech which he
gives to Congress.
A committee was appointed
to escort the governor to the
speakers dais and the house re-
ceSsed for five minutes.
Upon the arrival of Governor
Lausche, he was escorted to the
rostrum as House and Senate
members and visitors stood to
welcome him.
Governor read from his pre-
pared speech for about one and
half hours. He touched on
many of the problems facing
Ohio, some in detail and some
slightly.
The need for more money to
operate state functions, was en-
phasized. At least $25,000,000
more will be needed to carry out
projects started by previous leg
islatures. He recommended a
ton-m:le tax on trucks. This
was new to everyone and how
it is to be applied is not yet
known.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1951-01-18

He also advocated the resto-
ration of the l cent sales tax in
purchases from 13 cents to 40
cents and the elimination of the
sales stamps. This would mean
a gross sales tax to be paid by
vendors. 1t would he says save
few million dollars by elimin-
alton of the vendors discounts
and the redemption of the used
stamps.
He advocated that local COM
mittees be permitted to tax
liquor up to the amount of
State tax This tax to be used
locally.
He recommended a $2,40O.00
minimum salary for teachers
but said nothing about providing
money to furnish increments
based on training and expert
ence. If $4,000 becomes the
minimum with out extra money
for teachers with many years of
experience and training $2400
will not only be the minimum
but it will be the maximum
also
He requested $25O,0O0 for the
biennium for the administrat-
ration of Civil Defense. This will
be an added burden and legis-
lature must find the money
somewhere.
The building of bomb-shelters
was touched on by the governor.
If Ohio and local governments
must meet the matching pro-
visions of the Federal Govern
ment $86.000,000 will be re-
quired. A survey of the need of
bomb shelters and the possible
use of all available sub-surface
shelters in all buildings in criti-
cal target areas should be made
first.
Because Ohio has many cities
in which vital industries are
located the governor painted a
very black and discouraging
picture as to the possibility of
Ohio being bombed by an en-
emy.
l have only mentioned a few
of the problems facing Ohio to-
day. And / also realized that the
government at Washington is
taking more in income tax and
is contemplating other taxes.
We members of the Geenral As
sembly discovered that hotels
rooms are up about 500 in most
cases and eating is not far be-
hind.
Therefore I solicit your help
and advice in meeting the pro-
blems that must be solved during
this session that we may be able
to get all the government need
ed at the least possible cost.

After the delegates talk, Mr..
Fess of Green County arose to a
question of personal privilege.
He took issue with committee
assignments because seniority in
many cases were disregarded
and older members were placed
on committees entirely new to

minor importance while new

Praises Farmers
For Safety Work

Congratulatlon on an effect
i've accident-prevention program
are extended Ohio farm people
and their organization by w. E.
Stuckey, extension farm safety
specialist at Ohio State Univer-
sity.
"All of the credit for a sub
stantial decrease in accidents
during the past four years should
be given these organizations and
their numbers. Without 100 per-
cent cooperation of these groups,
we (safety specialiSts) would be
at a standstill," Stuckey says.
Reducing accidents is a task
just started, however. The safety
specialist believes any past sue
cess is 'just stimulus to greater
action during the coming year" "
Getting the coming year off
to a good start is the proclaim
alton by Governor Frank j.
Lausche which makes January
Farm and Home Safety Mobiliz-
alton Month. Care a Lot and
Save a Tot" is the slogan being
emphasized.
Stuckey points out that the
proclamation urges special en-
phasis in preventing accidents
with children. More children be-
tween the ages, l to IA, are kill
ed in accidents than die from
six leading childhood diseases.
In 1948, six leading diseases took
10,401 lives of children. During
the same year, accidents killed
10,741 children.
During the past four years,
% percent of the fatal accidents
to farm people occurred to child
rem IA years of age or under" !"
