A NEW IMMIGRATION LAW

It is expected that in the not too distant future the United States basic immigration law, which has not been substantially changed since 1924, will be revised There three bills in Congress which have consider able backing the Walter Bill, the McCarran Bill and the Humphrey-Lehman Bill
 Under the Walter and McCarran Bills, the present immigration quota of approximately 1500OO would not be increased substantially, while the HumphreyLeh- Bill would allow 6O,O0O additional aliens to enter this country
 The quota system under the Walter and McCarran Bills is based on national origin in the census of 1920, while the HumphreyLehman Bill uses the talk in 1950 All three bills the barrier in the present law against naturalization for Japanese, ndo nesians Burmese, Siamese and natives of certain Pac fife islands,
 It should be pointed out that under our present immigration law with it's national origin plan, only about one-ha of those who eligible to to the United States from northern and western Europe have made the journey in the past twenty years.
 good example of country where the people fail to sizable portion of the annual quota is Great Britain, with annual quota of than 65,OO0.

Pribilofs, Mt. Mckinley, Mosquitos and Dust
 Impress Actress Blyth

SEATTLE, (P) - Actress Ann Blyth, and a Hollywood troupe ar rived in Seattle last night from a four-day Alaska junket with but single thought-sleep.
 The group is winding up an 8,O00-mile tour in connection with Miss Blyth's latest film, "The World In His Arms," which will have it's stateside premiere here Tuesday night. The world pre- miere was at Anchorage.
 Miss Blyth and ten others staged about 30 shows in four days for an estimated 15,000 troops in Alaska.
 Miss Blyth, reviewing here AL aska impressions, said she was fascinated by the views of the Pribilofs Islands and Mt. McKin- ley.
 Two Alaska memories M IS S Blyth did not treasure were mos quitoeS and dust.
 Everything I'd heard about AL aska's mosquitoes was true," she said, gingerly rubbing her arm. And as far as the dust - well, when we landed at the Seattle Tacoma airport and drove here, we couldn't get enough of that wonderful fresh air and green scenery"
 Ann Blyth and party were at Nome Field Saturday evening for a personal appearance in connec- ton with the showing of her pic ture.

Turning out political buttons is becoming big bus- this year. Two companies report that they in their third million of 'I LIKE IKE buttons and that Senator Tafts supporters matching the Eisenhower boosters order for order.
 Kefauver is setting the pace in the Democratic button orders tell the whole story It is true however that Russell and Hartman buttons are popu- lar too.
 Businessmen are learning that people buy accord ing to their degree of optimism and not according their cash on hand.

MIDDLE NAME? - NONE

It took a registrant of Texas Local Board 72, in Greenville, quite a while to establish the fact that he really did have a middle name, although he had to argue about it quite while with the kindly b ut painstaking board clerk.
 His middle name is None"
 Seems as how he was given" it by board clerk who filled out his registration card during World War II and liked it so well he's been using it ever since.

Is This True?
By l. Baynand Whitney

Nebraska State Senator John Adams ST. said recently
N private interview that there phase Of reasoning on
ne part OF the |. s. Supreme Court concerning racial
segregation in the SOUTH which many Negro leaders have
not considered.
senator Adams remarked that had the L, S. Court
believed there sufficient southern sentiment condonng
nonsegegaon, the Court would not have ruled in favor OF
admitting Negro students white schools and colleges in
the south.
said, Then you believe the high court interprets the

Every Negro organization in Greater
Little Roek-exeept some Of the churches
is underhoused. The churches are over
housed. according to number of buildings,
but underhoused as to efficiency, adequacy.
and modernity Of building type. Even the
YMCA and the YWCA are inadeqgateiy
housed. Fraternities. sororities. and social
clubs have little to offer in this regard
The political, civic, and economic or
CARNATIONS of the Negro cannot attract
generally the right type of leadership be-
cause they make little provision for full
time, full-paid leadership. Only the churches
and private schools pay full salaries TO full
time leadership, and most Of these full
salaries are substandard. The average
lister should be paid a standard salary,
and the many private schools pay sub
standard salary to the teachers and in adj
dition make him help raise the money for
the support Of the institution. Consequent
" the leaders in most private organiza-
tions must follow another work for their
support while they devote their spare time
to their organiZafional work.
AS a result the loyalty and devotion
of Negro leaders must. as a rule, be d.
vided between organization activities and
bread and-butter activities. Commonsense
dictates that these leaders who receive no
pay for their leading cannot afford to take
too much time from the work which sup
ports them. In addition, commonsense die
tates that such leaders cannot afford TO
antagonize elements in the community
which provide bread and butter for them
selves and their families. This is not the
fault of the leader; it is the fault OF the
organization. which is trying TO get some
thing for nothing.
Weak organizational finance and weak
organizational leadership are closely relat-
Cd. Certainly a weakly financed organiza-
ton can demand as little in the way Of full
time leadership as an unpaid leader can
usually afford TO give In certain southern

Economic Research Bureau Sounds Warming
BY lauren White

The biggest wage-cutting campaign in
history is taking place right now. The wages
that labor receives in 1852 will not be re-
ceived few years hence An alert person
will not contract a debt based on his 1852
income
This information and warning comes
from the International Research Bureau
which has been engaged in economics re-
search since 1924. William J. Baxter head
of the Research Bureau, feels that low
prices of labor in foreign countries will eff
feet labor in the United States. In war torn
Europe, workers are willing to labor so and
SO hours a week They have a strong desire
to rebuild their homes and their country.
They demand no overtime and no pension
plan; they simply want work. In effect, this
amounts to a wage cutting program in Gen.
trail Europe, and the same thing exists in
Japan. Naturally, industry prefers to locate
where it can get cheap labor.

only countries that will compete with A

whatever criticism one might make to the

For all too many years the affairs of the
