Green Castle is approximately the

reported that they were told their
land would be used in connection
with the Camp Richie installation
presumably for communications
facilities feeding into the under

One of the most costly and,
from an engineering standpoint,
the most difficult, problems will
be the construction of communi-
cations. It is recalled that one of
the reasons advanced against
moving the Navy from Constitu-

Humphrey Gives
South Ills Aims
On Civil Rights

Warrington (AEPJ - In an
effort 10 reunits the Democratic
party which split over the civil
rights plank that ne sponsored in
1913, Sen. Hubert II. Humphrey,
ID. Mimi, called for a hearing
and more understanding Of the
party's detectives.
In q 2.O00-word letter sent
10 at least 20 southern editors,
Humphrey stated that the civil
rights plank was never intended
as q blow 10 the south" but was
meant for any section OF the
country. including his own, where
segregation existed
In the letter sent out last Sat-
urday. the Minnesota senator was
obviously extending an olive
branch 10 the Dixie leaders but he
did not backtrack on the civil
rights proposals.. He merely asked
for an understanding by the
southerners. This question both in
the north and the south, he said, IL
far too important to be turned in
10 a weapon for or against labor
unions, for or against the Demo-
Gratis, or for or against Republi-
cans.
He pointed out that many lead
ers Of the south were disturbed by
the Democratic party's 1913 civil
rights plank which he helped for
mulate. but he felt that a national
political party should freely and
openly state It's principles and its
detectives for the people Of the ma
ton TO see and TO Judge.
A political party which calls
upon American people for support
should tell the American people
where II stands, he said. Every
Democratic platform in recent
years has contained a civil rights
plank, but the 1913 platform was
only made a little clearer and
more specific.
He recognized and commended
the states for solving some Of the
problems OF civil rights.
Some southern states have en-
acted anti-lynching and anti
mask laws and abolished the poll
tax, he wrote. and many have
made progress In education.
health, housing and community
facilities. Too much trust Is some
times placed in the power OF the
federal government, he admitted.

but I'VE know that on vital ma
tional issues affecting all the
people, II Is the responsibility Of
the national government TO act. A"
Many people believe that eduea-
ton and time alone can answer
the civil rights problems, Hum
phrey stated, and others think
they can only be solved by legis-
lation at the federal and state
levels, but neither program Is
complete without the other. The
senator said:
Il believe that government has
the responsibility TO set standards
or guidepOsts. II then becomes the
responsibility for spiritual, civic
and educational institutions. as
well a. individual leaders. TO
create observance and respect for
these standards among the peo-
pie"
He explained that his program
emphasizes community activity,
individual responsibility, educa-
ton and moral values, supported
by legislative standards. do not
believe that such q program in
dicated going too fast or too far. "
Whatever the party differences,
Humphrey said, he hoped that all
Democrats were working for the
same detectives, namely: equal OPP
portunity for all; the full rights of
citizenship for all; full and equal
protection Of the law for all.
In concluding his statement,
Humphrye emphasized that "the
day of white supremacy is over.
II was always immoral and Is to-
day impossible"

SOIL EXPERTS
 CONFER WITH RENAL ON CONSERVATION

Soil conservation experts of the Dept. of Agriculture have busy schedules.
 Frank Linn, Palmer farmer, chairman of the Alaska Soil Con- servation Board, and Cliff Mar GUS, district conservationalist of the Anchorage district, have been at Kenai conferring with super visors of the newly formed Kenai soil conservation district.
 Kenai is the eighth district voted in a month ago. Other soil conservation districts are Palmer, Wasilla, Anchorage, Chugiak, Fairbanks, Salcah-Big Delta, and Homer.
 Alaska Soil Conservation final ly received a small appropriation from the last legislature for ad, ministrative expense. Seems the Alaska Soil Conservation was formed by Territorial legislative law, which overlooked the little matter of appropriation. The workers have been operating "out of our own pockets" as one member put it.
 Thomas H. Day, soil scientist, and It. USNR, has just returned from two weeks training at Ko- diak, attached to the Intelligence section. Others in the department are on various field duties.
