Cleveland Park Unit
Asked 10 Drop Racial
Bar 10 Membership

Members Of the Cathedral
Heights Cleveland Park Citi-
zens' Association have before
them a proposal to drop racial
bars In considering applicants
for membership to the organi-
zation.
Douglas Sager, a real estate
man, filed notice of intention to
submit, at the next meeting Of
the organization, an amend
ment to the constitution that
would provide:
"Any adult citizen Of the
United States residing In the
District of Columbia shall be
eligible for membership in the
association. Membership shall
not be denied for reasons OF
race. color. creed or national
origin" Stricken from the con-
stitution would be the para
graph restricting membership to
white residents.
According to the association
constitution, notice OF intention
to submit an amendment must
be given at least one meeting
prior to the actual submission
and all members must be sup
piled with the text of the pro-
posed amendment at least five
days before. The next sched-
uled meeting Of the association
is January Is.
In its business meeting last
night, the group refused to con-
tribute to the Federation's legal
action to delay integration In
the public schools Of the Dis
trict. The motion introduced
by L. l.. Gourley emphasized
that, while the group would not
contribute officially, individual
members might give to the fund.
The meeting was conducted
by Brig. Gen. George F. Rixey,
retired Army chaplain, in the
Guild Hall, st. Adams Parish,
Wisconsin and Massachusetts,
avenues NV.

Building Priority Urged .
For Jones Point Bridge

The Petworth Citizens AS
sociation last night called on
the District Commissioners to
concentrate their efforts to have
the proposed Jones Point bridge
erected as the next major span
across the Potomac.
The resolution, offered by
Harvey o. Craver, foresaw the
structure as the remedy for a
serious traffic bottleneck on the
Fourteenth Street Bridge.
Mr.. Craver also sponsored
another successful motion, which
placed the group on record as
opposing reported attempts to
have the John Phillip Sousa
march "Stars and Stripes For
ever" proclaimed the national
anthem.
Mrs. Clayton Smith, acting
director Of the local unit Of
CARE, urged members to back
the food crusade which she
explained is using surplus farm
products for relief In war or
famine ravaged countries.

GIN Has Less Business,
More Net Earnings In
First Quarter, 1854

Total dollar sales of General Mo-
tors for first quarter 1854 were down
by $137 million, however, net earn
ings went up by $38 million in the
same period, Harlowe H. Curtice,
GIN president, has announced.
First quarter sales totalled $2,410
billion as compared with $2,547 for
same period of 1853. Net earnings
for first three months this year were
$3.50 million as compared with $751;
million for first quarter 1868. Net
income per share came to $2.13 this
year; only $1.70 last.
With unemployment rolls on the
increase the last eight months, de-
spite what Charley Wilson said,
what's good for GIN doesn't seem
to be necessarily good for the rest
of the country.

PARITY FOR FARMERS"

Do Montana businessmen favor the
Eisenhower Administration propos-

present 80 per cent of parity support
law on wheat and other basic COM

only means of avoiding an agricul-

them, along with their rural custo-

of $247,475. Approximately 40 per
cent, or $121,693 of the $247,475
revenue increase is available for di-
vidends on common stock This
amounted to a nickel per share, in
creasAng quarterly dividends from
go cents for first quarter 1853 to
95 cents for same period in 1854.
In making his quarterly report to
stockholders, MPCo. Pres. j. E. Cor
cite emphasized that the increased
net earnings of his company "does
not reflect revenues from the new
gas rate, approved by the Montana
Public Service Commission and made
effective Sept. 1, 1853" The up
wards of one million dollars in added
revenue because of the gas rate bump
are impounded by court order pend
ing determination of the action cur
rently being carried by Attorney
General Arnold Olsen to have the
higher rate schedules nullified be-
cause of being unreasonable and
unjust"
Corrette also pointed out that cleo
trio revenues from large industrial
customers were down approximately
10 per cent in first quarter 1854 be-
cause of slackened operations in the

make to combat them"

lem more effectively we will con-
tinue in the future to face more

In his talk, Mr.. Nixon said
President Eisenhower was right
in his stand opposing a Federal

State Department official con-
victed of perjury for denying he
passed secrets to the Commu-
niStS.
The Vice President declared
one advantage we hold over the
Communists is our fundamental
belief in God. Throughout our

a great crisis, we have had great
leaders"
