stated the sole purpose Of the
proposed legislation was to com
pei q business man TO hire or pro-
mote someone he doesn't want or
keep him from firing someone ne
feels should be fired. His attack
on the bill was vicious
Christensen said this bill was
substantially the same one which
had been proposed in the U. g.
Congress for the past ten years
and was regularly defeated. He
said, 1T Ia also the same bill
which has been presented to our
state Legislature and been de-
feated for the past six years"
Race Identification
Christensen read several pas
sages from the proposed legisla-
ton which the opposition, accord
ing to him, felt was unfair and
gave too much power TO only a
few.
One OF the most vicious parts
Of the BILL, said Christensen. was
the Abolishment OF race identih-
cation. He told the labor group.
according TO the bill, II was H.
legal to ask a man II he was born
In this country; whether he was
a U. s. citizen: questions abott
his birth, race. color, nationality.
religious preference, parents
birthplace. his or her past ex-
perience. any police record, or
political affiliation. You cant
even ask II he ever served in the
Russian Army" he said
In furthering his argument
against the bill. Christensen said
that under the bill, freedom Of re-
IIgion would be exempted and
that businessmen wanted that
same freedom.
Use Of Negro M.D.'S Cited
The opponents spokesman used
the Mayo Clinic in one of his OBJ
jeCtions to the bill He said the
Mayo Clinic had patients from all
over the world come here for
treatment and that in the y. s.
most OF the patients came from
below the Mason Dixon line.
tie AaId, Southern white
women do not want 20 BE- en-.
AmIned by Negro doctors nor do
they want their children exam.
IRed by them" He stated the
clinic had even tried doctors
from India. but even this
wouldn't work.
Az for the upgradinG Of en-
ployees, Christensen told the
committee that companies wanted
the privilege Of UparadinR the
people who had the best Qualifica-
tons and would create the best
harmony among the employees.
According 20 Mr.. Christensen
foreman would be walking
along the line helping the work
era with their tasks and lean
Ing over them Tie said. "SOme
white women would not like n
Negro bending over them and
helping them"
One phase Of Christensen
testimony was questioned vigor-
ously by member " the commit
tee. Christensen had previously
stated what would happen TO the
community Of Sacred Heart,
which. according to him, was all
Catholic, and operated a saw mill.
He said. III n Lutheran was sent
into this community Il would ruin
the business
"lIttle Drastic"

The opposition also presented
several witnesses. One OF the
largest turnOutS against the bill
was from the Minnesota Mining
Company who had several repre-
sentatives present led by Ivan
Lawrence. vice president OF the
personnel division Of that COM
pany. Mr.. Lawrence said that the
proposed legislation provided ad-
ditional Disadvantages to Mime
sofa business. He cited the pro-
gress Of his firm in the field Of
minority employment with Coop
Grafton Of the St. Paul Urban
League. Through voluntary
means. you will see more lasting
results than with legislation" he
said.
Gamers Opposed
Another important witness for
the opposition was Edwin Kraus,
Canning executive from Orion
vile. Mimi. who said that the
canning industry was opposed to
the bill in principle. We believe,
said Mr.. Kraus, that as long as
management pays the bills, they
have the right to hire or fire
whom they choose"
BIoOdshed!
He stated further, you can
not, by such a measure, control
thought Of an individual" Kraus
told the committee of his past
experience during the summer
months when his company and
others used foreign labor TO work
in the fields. He said that II was
impossible TO house, feed or work
the Mexicans, BahamaAns. and
the American Indians together.
II you do. there will be blood
shed. and the state militia will
have TO be called out"
Edwin Ulmer, representing the

Charles II. Bruins, executive
director Of the Employers Indus

his employers believed the bill
punished a limited group OF en-
ployers. who aren't responsible. I"
He further felt there was very
little discrimination in employ
ment and the problem wasn't
widespread. Bruins said the
groups working for the ending OF
discrimination would solve the
problem. The passage Of this
bill would only create more prob

Explosives
By MARY LEE COUNCIL

Explosives
 Lifting of restrictions in hand ling explosives in Alaska and Ha- waii will be made possible by a resolution adopted by the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee.
 For several months rigid Coast Guard regulations have been in effect, following a recommends ton by the legislative committee.
 The resolution, adopted only this week, and following exten- sive hearings before the commit tee, recognizes the special situa- tions in the two territories.
 Provided safety requirements are met, and provided consent of local authorities is obtained, ex- plosives can be handled in the same manner as before the strin- gent regulations went into effect.
 The resolution sets forth that the waiver which it grants will be effective until February Is, 1852.
 Identification Loans
 Loans totalling $1,390,000 were granted this week to two Alaska cooperatives, according to inform ation given Delegate Bartlett by the Rural Identification Admin istration.
 The Matanuska Electric Asso- ciation at Palmer will receive $1,040,000 as a loan to finance construction of 88 miles of dis tribution line to serve 332 rural consumers and the Buffalo Mine. The funds will also be used 10 make system improvements, in- cluding 24 miles of new tielines and for additional headquaraer facilities.
 The second loan will go to the Kodiak Electric Association at Kodiak for increased service to rural consumers. These funds will be added to funds previously made available to build II miles of distribution lines to serve 315 additional persons and for a new $50 kilowatt diesel generating unit and additional system im- movements,

 In addition, the Nebraska Sen ator's bill would abolish the pres ent reservations at Akutan, Kar- lux, Wales, Unalakleet, Venetie and any others in existence.
