hospitals with the public also hav-

established in the early thirties
largely by hospitals, as an enlight-

were hard pressed financially
They reasoned that any scheme
which would make it easier for
the public to pay its hospital bills
would aid the hospital.
The movement grew rapidly, SC
much so that the American Hospi-

"Senri-annually, we hold insti-
tutes on industrial relations to
give top management a chance to
study ways of improving employee
relations, and invariably construc-
tive attention is given to this SUBJ
ject.
Moreover, NAM people, when
speaking on human relations OR
labor : management relations, do
not neglect to emphasize the need
for non-discriminatory hiring. The
NAM has taken part in conferences
and exchanged views with Negro
leaders and other minority groups
to further mutual understanding of
the problems. Members of the
MANS employee relations division
have attended many meetings of
the National Urban League.
Most needs to be done. We rec
ognize that. We also recognize
that, other things being equal, a
job applicant of your race usually
must be head and shoulders over
his rivals. 1t is not my purpose to
comment on the justice of the sit
uation but rather to admit it as a
reality. Once you recognize the
fact, you come face to face with
the problem, and in so doing, you
have started to move toward it's
solution"

NEW YORK, (GlobaD-It seems
that sports activity runs in cycles,
as regards the participation of
Negroes. A few years ago, it
seemed that Negroes dominated
the boxing field and nobody else
had a look-in. This was true in
every classification. While Negroes
still figure in that sport, they no
longer have hold on all the titles
as they have in the past.
We notice the same thing COM
ing up in the ICAAAA. Around ten
years or so ago, there were Negro
track stars in profusion. Ben John
son was sprinting for Columbia;
Johnny Woodruff (now Major
Woodruff was the 440 and 88O
champ; Eulace Peacock was the
Temple University Splinter and
broad jumper; Barney Ewell was
Penn States 100-yard, 220 and
broad jump champ. We could name
many more, but these are just a
few. And now we find very few Me-
groes in the ICAAAA set-up, and
we wonder if there is a real rea-
son for it, or if it is just part of
the cycle.
What brings all this to mind is
that Penn State hasn't won a
championship since Barney Ewell
was burning up the place. How
ever, they do have a hopeful in
young Art Pollard, sprinter who
is the backbone of the Penn State
track team in the same way that
Barney Ewell was in his day. May
be the pendulum is swinging the
other way once more.

Peoples Judgment Not

ALBUQUERUE, N.M., R-J.R. Wiggins, managing editor of the Washington Post and Times Her aid, said Tuesday government has lost faith in the judgement of the people.
 And so there is an increasing appetite for secrecy" at every level of American public life, he said in an address prepared for the American Society of Journal ism School Administrators.
 Wiggins cautioned such trend is dangerous to all free institu- tions in this country.
 Our whole system rests on the assumption that the people, when informed, are capable of right de- cisions and sound judgment and rational action-equal to the re- responsibilities of lf-government," he said.
 "Government founded on such a faith cannot long outlive the ab- sence of that faith"
 Wiggins was invited before the society to accept an award to his newspaper for it's work in de- fense of freedom of the press. He is chairman of the Freedom of In- formation Committee of the Am erican Society of Newspaper Ed itors.

 There were indications the catch would top one million fish, bringing 2 million dollars to the 5000 men manning the US. fish ing fleet.
 A spokesman for the Washing ton State Fisheries Department said the department believes the 1854 catch of sockeye will be the best since the big year of 1913, the last good year before slide at HelI's Gate cut off most of the Fraser Rivers salmon spawning grounds.
 Fisheries men said the huge catch is the payoff to two million dollar investment to build fish ladders to restore the sock eye run in the Adams River, tributary of the Frazer.
