PROGRESSIVE PARTY GIVES
SOLE HOPE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS
RY Janet Johnson

Johnson
fight, if elected.
With Stevenson and Sparkman,
civil rights are as dead as the
dod.
Let's learn the A B Cs of
political strategy.
President Truman and the
Democratic platform pledged civ
il rights in 1948-and shameless
ly broke their pledge. Do you
think a political party pays the
slightest attention to the voters
to whom it can sell a gold brick
and they'll come back next cleo
ton day and buy another? The
only vote that puts the fear of
God into political party is the
vote AGAINST it, when it has
betrayed the voters. A vote
AGAINST a party is the only
strategic vote to compel it to re-
verse us policies.
This year, colored people have
nothing to hope from either Re-
publicsns or Democrats, there
fore they have nothing to lose in
voting against them both. They
have everything to gain in serv-
ing notice upon both parties that
they cannot get the colored vote
until they pass civil rights laws.
The only strategic colored vote
for civil rights NOW is a vote
for the Peace Progressive Party
candidates, Vincent Mailman for
President MRS. cHARLOTTA
A. BASS for Vice-President and
MISS FLORENCE H. LUSCOMB
for Governor.

THE ELECTIONS of 1852 are
now within few days Of becom-

day, Nov. 4th, Adlai Stevenson
or Ike Eisenhower will be Presi-
dent of the United States. Both
candidates, in spite Of confusing
criticism, are men Of high in
tegrity. The brunt of honest
criticism must be directed against
Party policies, rather than
against these men. After next
Tuesday, both Parties must work
together.
BOTH POLITICAL Parties app

regardless of the winner next

traps: (1) The threat Of econom-

New Way Of .Des'alting 5
Sea Is Seen Turning
Desert Into Farmland
By the Assoeiaied Press

The discovery Of methods for
removing salt from seawater at
relatively low cost opens the way
for turning bleak deserts around
the world into rich farmlandS, a!
Pennsylvania geographer said yes
terday.
DR.. j. r. Smith, professor emeri-
tus of economic geography at CO.
lumbia University, said California,
Australia and Israel are areas most
likely to profit from the large-scale
use of desalted seawater.
Addressing the 18th Interna-
tional Geographical Congress, DR..
Smith said researchers at Harvard
and Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology have developed a de-
sailing process which costs only
"a fraction" of previous methods.
The experimenters have de-
veloped a filtering membrane made
of coal tar and petroleum products
which DR.. Smith said can desalt
1000 gallons of seawater at an
electric expenditure of 20 kilo-
watts, compared with 100 kilowatts
for the next best method.
He said the process might save
the city of Los Angeles and other
Southern California communities
the trouble of getting their drink
ing water from the Colorado River
via a 200-mile pipeline that goes
over 1.600-foot mountain.
Acost study indicates, DR.. Smith
said, that Los Angeles could get
its fresh water from the sea
through the desalting process at
about the same price, possibly
lower, than the present cost of
lifting water across the mountains.
DR.. Smith said the first over
seas use of the American-devel-
oped desalting membrane might
be in Israel-"a little country that
is badly overpopulated and which
has a lot OF desert.
That country has the capital.
the intelligence and the need to
utilize this great invention" he
added.
DR.. Smith said the less expensive
deSalting process opened the way
for putting into cultivation such
areas as Australia's arid heart
land. Developing such a territory,
he added. might turn it into "a
possible place for the overflow of
Europe's people"

NEW RK.-Katherine Towle
is one Of those women who make
you look twice. even when the
bride is hanging on your arm. :
She is tall, slim. gray-haired
and handsome. Her eyes are a
cool blue. cool and appraising. Be-
ing feminine to her finger tips,
she seldom mentions her several
university degrees, nor what she
has been doing the past seven or
eight years.
In large part, this has been to
act as a walking advertisement
for, the Marines.
She is a colonel in the corps,
director of the women Marines.
They announced the other day
that she will retire next year to
become the dean of women at the
University of California. That's
her alma mater. She comes from
Towle. Calf, a town founded by
her grandfather.
"Kay." as they call her out
there, was up to her eyebrows in
literature 10 years ago when our
share of the war was getting un-
der way.
Answered the Call.
The Marines needed women,
and she went in.
Five years later, they put eagles
on her shoulders. The new colonel
was feeling pretty good about
those chicken wings until a cer-
tain day in an elevator. A dear
old lady peered at the emblems
and said:
II suppose that means you're q
member of one of the bird-watch-
ers societies. How nice! I Just love
birds. myself"
Well, the colonel doesn't take
herself very seriously. but even
though she is returning to her
own chosen field, she is still sold
on the armed services as a career
for women.
There are $500 women Marines
now. Their equivalent of boot

they go on to greener fields. They
have some latitude of choice.
It's amazing what those six
weeks do for a girl.

future, in terms of education, and
even a career if that's what they
want. (The colonel's niece, Clare
Bullitt, is studying journalism.)
4 Reasons for Joining.
AS you probably know, there are
four general reasons why women
enlist. For some, it is purely a
question Of patriotism. For many,
it is a matter of financial security.
Others, who have not been able to
afford a college education, go into
uniform in order to get it.
Still others. frankly, are looking

ing girls, complain they don't meet
any men. Or the kind they want.
That problem, generally speak
ing, doesn't exist for the women
in the services. They are in a posi-
ton to look over the boys, and
throw the inedible types back in
the sea.
Does a tour in the services de-
feminine a girl?
Nothing makes 'em more angry
than that question. Definitely not,
any officer in any branch-Wacs,
Wafs, Waves or Marines-will tell
you.
They say that If you put 1000
women in factory. or any place
where they work with men, the
percentage of personal disasters
would be larger than it is in the
services.
Do the professional officers treat
them as equals?
Most of them," says Col. Towle.
There are still a few old-timers
around who don't. But they're

Mr.. Hvasta apparently fed the

Not Sure Hvasta Did Flee.
Secretary Acheson told a news

Hvasta escaped, and pefhaps he
didn't. The United States, he

Czechoslovakia repeatedly turned
down American efforts to help the

Shah Of Iran Hands
Deeds 10 Peasants
For Royal Lands
By the Assoeiofed Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Aug. 12.-Shah
Mohammed Reza Pahlevi handed
delegation Of peasants owner
ship deeds to IL former royal
owned villages today as a part OF
his personal land reform program
to raise rural living standards.
The villages, situated east OF
Teheran, were divided into small
farms and were sold to the peas
ants for small annual payments
under a plan organized by the
commission for the distribution
and sale of the Pahlevi estates
The farms range between about
141a and 81 acres each.
1880 Acres Divided.
The Shah started selling of
his royal lands last year. Thus
far more than 1880 acres have
been divided among more than
800 peasants.
The land distribution comes at
a time when the Communists are
making political hay with propa-
ganda for land reform. Most of
the arabic land in Iran is owned
by small group of wealthy land
lords. In recent days the Reds
have been leading groups of fac
tory workers in squatter raids on
unsettled lands near Teheran.
Peasants Are Pleased.
AS the scraggly bearded farmers
crowded around the Shah today
in the garden of Saadabad Palace
he told them:
"By distributing my lands
among you desire to raise the
standard of living. Today you are
the owners of these lands. I in
vited you into my garden to hand
over the deeds to the lands. You
must feel and realize that this
place also is your property"
Long live the Shah." the peas
ants shouted. May God increase
your life. May your enemies be
struck blind"
The peasants will get still an
other assist from the Shah be-
ginning in September. At that
time the royalty established re-
construction bank will begin help
ing them buy more land and
equipment.
