Wilhamstown, Mass. lamp
Religious prejudice-the twin
social evil, along with racial pre-
judice-reared its head last week
when a national fraternity sus-
pended its local chapter for pledg-
ing a Jewish student.
The parent organization of Phi
Delta Theta fraternity suspended
its local chapter for what 1t term
ed a violation of a clause in the
fraternity constitution restricting
membership to full Aryans.
The suspension follows a campus
controversy that started last

Whether or not the senate Judi
ciary. committee recommends the
FEPB this session Of the legisla-
ture depends lot on how the new
est senator on the committee
votes.
The freshman senator, Robert
Dunlap, Plainview, former Waba-
sha county attorney, Is the only
new senator in the 6sth session.
He was elected TO fill the unex-
pired term Of Sen. James A. Car
ley, also from Plainview, who was
an opponent of FEPC. who died
since the last session Of the legis-
lature two years ago.
Since Dunlap is an attorney, he
automatically becomes a member
Of the judiciary committee that
has ~ members.
At the last session Of the legis-
lature, the judiciary COMMITTEES
split 10 TO 10 on approval of the
house amendment-ridden bill and
thus killed IL.
At the time of the final commit
tee vote, two urban senators were
absent and observers commented
at the time that IL they had been
present the outcome of the bin
might have been different. The
absent senators were Archie MIL
Ter Of Hopkins and George siegel
of st. Paul.
Siegel had voted earlier TO rec
ommend passage and Miller, SEN
ate majority leader, was absent at
that vote too.
The Carley-Dunlap change Is the
only new name on the committee
and Dunlap may cast the deciding
ballot IL he votes for the bill, pro-
viding no one else switches his
vote.
While the committee recommen-
dalton is no guarantee Of senate
approval, 1t does have quite a bit
Of influence.
Tuesday Dunlap said that he
hadn't made up his mind.
He also stated, II don't know II
you can solve such problems by
legislation, but Of course the wit
ness testimony this morning that
II has worked in Minneapolis and
in other states and cities Is strong
evidence Of IT,"
Since there are no discrimina-
ton problems In his home town,
he was under no pressure to act
one way or another, the freshman
senator said.
He said that he personally has
no prejudices against minorities.
Those voting for the bill at the
final committee vote in 1851 were
Senators Feidt, Julkowslri, Masek,
MuIlin, Root, Rosenmeier, Schultz,
Welch, Wright and wefald.
Voting against the bill were
Senators Carley, Sletvold, Erick-
son, Grottum. Johanson, Lauer-
man, Lightner, Mitchell, Sullivan
and Wefald.

The Board also voted to defer
action on q proposed January 9th
final acceptance date for the newly
constructed City Electric System
steam plant from the contractors,
the ]. r. Pritchard Company.
The proposed date Of acceptance
was set as January 9th but the
board baked when it was pointed
out that enc Of the turbines at the
plant was not functioning properly.
They asked a review Of the situa-
ton by the Utility Board attorney,
]. Lancelot Lester. to determine
the responsibility for the cost Of
repairs TO the turbine.
The city has been operating the
plant for about 80 days.
The reason for the setting o.
the January 9th date Is to deter
mine the time at which the $50
per day late fee that the Pritchard
Company has been paying for al
most two months viii terminate.
The board also reported that a
smoke nuisance near the plant has
been eliminated and no more COM

Gives Up
Airport Rights

The city of Key West relinquish-
ed their rights to the Meacham
Airport at a special meeting last
night in their first step to give
Monroe County complete control of
the air terminal so that they may
obtain funds from the Civil Aero
nauticS Administration for the con-
struction of a new administration
building there.
Under the terms of revokable
permit given the city in 1916 by
the Navy, they had permission to
use the airfield.
However, the CAA requires that
the County have a clear title to
the airfield before they will grant
funds for improvement, hence last
nights move by the commission.
The vote was unanimous.
