to become national officer and
a member of that organization
after the Attorney General of the
United States named it as Com
munist Front Organization.
AS to the Southern Conference
for Human Welfare, which includ-
ed among the outstanding and
widely known loyal and patriotic
citizens of the south on it's board,
one of the Nations most outstand-
ing women, Editor Greene said
that the records will show that
after the organization was charged
with being Communist Front, a
study was conducted by the How
ard University Law School which
absolved the organization from
any communist faint after which
the organization was disbanded.
The Southern Conference of HUI

been disbanded now for more than
two years.
Speech To Civil Rights Congress
Wins Place On Honor Roll
OF Democracy
Editor Greene said that the
speech before the Civil Rights
Congress meeting in New York for
which he received travelling ex-
penses, and which was made be-
fore that organization was desig-
mated as a communits front group,
was made in defense of American
Democracy, in defense Of freedom
OF speech, freedom of the press,
and the right of every American
citizen everywhere to vote, free
from fear, intimidation and bru-
tally, regardless of race, creed or
color.
The speech, the Editor said, was
quoted in the New York Times,
in the New York Herald Tribune,
the London Times and many other
leading papers throughout the
country. The speech before the
Civil Rights Congress, the editor
said, lead to his being named by
the Chicago Defender and the
Schamberg Collection Of the New
York Public Library to the 1916
National Honor Roll of Democ
racy.
The Civil Rights Congress, the
Editor said, which entered the
Niece case in 1915 long before
being placed on the subversive list
had been long active in defense
of Negroes before he knew any
thing about the existence of such
an organization.
The editor said that neither his
conscience nor his patriotism was
disturbed by the fact that long be-
fore that organization was placed
on the subversive list he made
contribution for the relief of ma
tive drought and famine vactims
through the council of African At
fairs.
Although the name calling and
witch hunting is in full swing, the
Editor said, he was taking a place
in opposition to the Mundt- Nixon
Bill and the McCarran Law, and
any other measure that might linn
it Freedom of Speech and free
dom Of the press, side by side with
many outstanding non-communist
editors and loyal and patriotic
American citizens.
In conclusion the Editor said,
while he was in sympathy with
the young congressman in the
midst of a calamity of political
errors, he was not going to allow
the Congressman to make of him
communist, nor allow him to
push him over to the side of the
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1951-01-20

Anchorage Council Sets Aside $50, 900 For Recreation Needs

The Anchorage City Council Friday night set aside S50,00o for recreation facilities in the An chorage area in a tentative bud get. This amount will be raised through one mill general assess ment.
 The appropriation followed a plea for city cooperation in fi- nancing adequate recreational fa- cilities by the Parks and Play ground Commission head, Bill Mulcahy. The commission had es- timated recreational needs at $l22,000.
 In addition to fencing of two open playground areas where traffic is heavy, improvements will be made at the Lake Spenard recreational area. Priorities on other improvements requested by the Park and Playground Commission will be decided by it's members. The commission had requested construction of six dual purpose tennis courts suitable for roller skating and ice skating as we'll as tennis, floodlighting at the ice skating rink and ski bowl, and construction of a field house and floodlighting at the Mulcahy Baseball Park.
 In remarking that this was only the beginning of a recreational program for the Anhcorage area, Mulcahy reminded Council mem bers: "The longer we wait, the more difficult it is to set up ade- quate recreation facilities. Con- struction materials are becoming more expensive and harder to ob tain. Labor is higher and land is too expensive, or too far from the city,
 Operational expenses for the recreation program during the coming year in Anchorage will total $19,36O. This sum includ 2s

New Revenue Aci
 Imposes 2 Taxes on Gambling Operations

Two separate federal taxes are imposed on gambling operations by the Revenue Act of 1851, ef- fective this month.
 Some taxpayers do not realize that there are two distinct taxes and that liability is incurred by anyone who accepts wagers, whether as principal operator or merely as one who receives wag- CTS on behalf of others, according 10 Clark Squire, Internal Revenue Collector in Tacoma.
 Pending issuance of regula- tions, clarification is sought thru a statement by Commissioner John B. Dunlap explaining pro- visions of the occupational tax and of the 10 per cent excise tax on amounts accepted as bets.
 Payment of the occupational tax is made by purchasing a stamp for $33.34. A person in the business of accepting wagers is required to buy the stamp, and every runner" or person who ac- cepts Wagers on behalf of another must have one. Each applicant for a stamp registers with the collector, stating whether he is operating as a principal or as an agent. A principal must report the names of all his agents, and an agent must report the names of all his principals, giving busi- ness addresses. Taxpayers who have no business address will give their residence address.
 Anyone operating this month has until November 30th to pay for his stamp No refund will be made to those who quit business.
 Information given on the stamp is shown on a special record open to public inspection in the col lector's office. The stamp must be displayed in the taxpayer place of business or, if he has no place of business, must be car ried on his person and produced on demand of an Internal Rev. enue representative.
 Commissioner Dunlap points out that the stamp is in no sense a license, but is merely receipt for tax paid He also calls at tention to the fact that the law specifically provides that pay ment of either the occupational tax or the excise tax will not ex- empt anyone from penalties pro- vided by federal or state laws for conducting taxed activities in vii olation of such laws.
 Willful attempt to evade either of the taxes constitute a felony, punishable by a fine not to ex- ceed $10,0O0 or imprisonment for not more than five years, or both. To avoid penalty, application for the occupational tax must be made during the month in which liability begins.
 The 10 per cent excise tax IS levied on amounts accepted as wagers on sports events and oth- CT contests, punchboards, pools' lotteries and similar operations

Modern Marriage
HAPPINESS of Married Couple Should
Be Enhanced by Children Not Hompered
By DR.. Paul Popenoe

For years, in this column, I have
been telling husbands and wives
that loving each other is one OF
the most important contributions
they could make to their children's S
welfare. But it can be overdone-
or, more correctly, it can be done
in the wrong way.
Mrs. v. brings up the question
again. after four beautiful years
of marriage" she relates, 1--WE have
been blessed with baby girl. AL
though we love her very much, we
do not want our children ever to
cause our love for each other to
diminish. We have read articles
entitled Till children do us part
and the like, and We wonder
whether you could give us some
suggestions to prevent such a
thing from happening to us. We
feel that the greatest gift we car
give to our children is an example
of home where there is love ano
faith and peace"
Good for you, Mrs. "! But bear
in mind that the love and faith
and peace have to extend to ano
include children! They are a part
of you.
