were apparently being rapidly de-
serted by the signers. Before the
meeting, petitions starting in Vicks-
burg, had already been presented
in Natchez, Clarksdale, Jackson,
and Yazoo City. According to re-
ports many of the signers of these
petitions are demanding that their
names be withdrawn from the pc
titions on grounds ranging from
charges of forged signatures to
misunderstanding of the intent and
purpose of the petition.
In Jackson, according to press
reports, DR.. Mccoy, the State Con-
ference President, Attorney Carsie
A. Hall, President of the Jackson
Branch, and Medger Evers, State
Secretary, did not sign the petition
and disclaimed any knowledge of
the circulation and of the signers
of the petition.
In Yazoo City where petition
was forwarded to the school board
by the Branch President Jasper
Minis, the petitioners did not ask
for Indignation but asked instead
that the schools be opened on a
discriminatory basis.
According to reports the meet
ing here Sunday urged continuance
of the drive for immediate inte-
grafton following which there were
predictions that more petitions will
be filed in the state. The active
branches where petitions have not
been filed include Amory, Meridian,
Biloxi, Gulfport, Laurel, Hatties-
burg, Enterprise, Greenwood, Nc
Comb, and Greenville.

paper carried an article along with
the editorial on the front page in
which DR.. Mccoy was quoted as
saying that he did not make the
statement attributed him about
"some white blood will flow too"
DR.. Mccoy was further quoted
as saying, in regard to an As
sociated Press story which appear
ed Sunday, "The story about the
racial picture in Mississippi implies
that am challenging those who
would maintain segregation. Meth
er the NAACP nor are challeng-

advocate is the courts, which we
consider legitimate in a Democ-

According to reports guards
have already been stationed around
the Mccoy home nightly follow

following which DR.. Mccoy made
an appeal for police protection.
Mrs. Ruby Hurley, Regional Di-
rector of the NAACP with offices
at Birmingham, Alabama, and DR..
Mccoy were the principal speak

REA Marks 20 Years of Progress and
MORE POWER TO MONTANA FARMERS

Celebrating it's goth anniversary
Montana can point with pride to a
successful electrification program,
says MONTANA RURAL ELECTRIC
NEWS in the May, 1855, issue.
Montana can claim 87.86 of its
farms electrified in 1855 compared
with $3.50 back in 1885, and REA
financed rural power systems serve
about 64.9% of the electrified farms
in the state. REA lines were serving
38,013 farms, and other rural con-
sumers, at the beginning of 1866,
over 1868 miles of line. BY the
time construction is completed with
loans already authorized electric
service will be provided to about
1926 consumers, the REA News

ALASKA DEBATE RECALLS SPEECH BY PIONEER
MONTANA governor
BY CONG. LEE METCALF

i tested the absence of suitable land
legislation. All but small fraction
of the land of the Territory still is
federally owned.
| Congress "has refused to appro-
pirate sufficient money to extend the
surveys in the territories, but has
doled out annually its driblets," Toole
said.
Nearly 80 years have passed since
Alaska came under our flag, and less
than two-thirds of one per cent of
Alaska has been surveyed. 1t has been
estimated that at the present rate it
will take $4,000 years to complete
the surveying of Alaska.
These are Toole's words on vote
less representation in the House and
no representation the Senate:
Congress "has professed to give
us a representative. in the lower
House, but denies to us a vote, the
only element of representation which
gives character or influence to
member -. 1t has left US without
any kind of representation in the SEN
ate and RENTS us to the beggarly
methods of the lobbyist"
Toole accused Congress of Sim
posing upon us with an iron hand, the
obligations and burdens of citizenship,
while withholding its corresponding
benefits by steadily denying to us
participation in the framing of fed
eral legislation, and the right or suf-
frage in national elections"
Although he was talking about
Montana, Toole could have been
speaking of Alaska in his concluding
summary:
"a territory which, if measured by
the granduer of it's mountains, the
fertility of its valleys, the majesty of
it's rivers, the splendor and utility of
it's waterfalls, the richness of it's
mines, the number and value of its
herds and flocks, the wealth and
density of its forests, the health and
vigor of it's climate, the intelligence,
aspirations, and patriotism of it's citi-
zens, ought to admonish you that
the time is at hand when we should
be accorded political status upon
this floor which will no longer be an
empty honor and a delusion, but the
full realization of the benefits de-
signed by the Constitution, and for
the expected coming of which we
shall anxiously wait and watch"

MORE J0BLESS LAST MONTH Than
IN ANY APRIL SINCE 1850

April employment figures in Mon
tana industry continued to lag behind
the same period year ago, accord
ing to Chadwick H. Smith, chairman
of the unemployment compensation
commission. This continues the trend
set in January, February and March.
Estimates compiled by the COM
mission in cooperation with the fed
eral bureau of labor statistics fix
the April level of employment at
147,30O against 10000 year ago.
This 147,3O0 figure, Chairman Smith
points out, is 3,100 above that of
March, and is 3,700 above the jan
uary level, while year ago the
spread from January to April was
400, and in several previous years
reached as high as 5000.
Employment conditions in April,
Smith says, were impaired by un-
seasonable weather, much of the out
door seasonal work remaining dor
mant until May. There were more
jobseekers at offices of the employ
ment service at the end of last month
than in any previous April since 1850.
The April jobseeker count was 5000,
in 1854 it was 5000, ran about 5000
in the three years preceding 1854,
and was II, 400 in April of 1850.
delayed start of construction this
spring." Chairman Smith said, sac
counts for 1900 of the decline in
total employment from last April.
Manufacturing, on the other hand,
shows a gain of 500 over year ago
as well as month ago, and its 1900
of April wage arners is the largest
number in employment in that month
since War III. Such manufacturing ac-
tivities as primary metals, lumber
and logging, printing, and petroleum
refining each show a. healthy gain
over year ago."
HARD ROCK MINERS NEEDED
The picture is not quite so bright
in mining, Smith said, as the annual
emigration from underground to
outdoor work depletes the, mining

arrears at the end of 1854 in Mon
tana, and $780, 900 in payments
have been made ahead of time. ST.
401 900 in interest has been paid on
the money borrowed.
Average monthly consumption on
REA-financed power lines in Mon
tana increased from 278 kilowatt
hours per farm during 1949 to 466
kilowatt hours during 1854, and the
list of farm uses for electricity
passed 800 some time ago, according
to the article.
The first REA loan was approved
in Montana in May, 1886.
There are few people today who
are too young to remember some
farm someplace, most likely in their
own family, that didn't have cleo
tricity, and recognize the blessings
of willie Wirehand" the REA cou-
sin to the power company's Freddy
Kilowatt. .
Rural Electric News points out
these advantages in couple of para
graphs: Estate agricultural leaders
give electricity large share of the
credit for the advances made in farm
living and output since the mid
1930s. Life on the farm in 1885
meant hard hand pumping and carry
ing of water, chopping wood for the
cookstove, bending over wash
board, and poor lighting for read
ings and all farm jobs after nightfall.
''Today's farm picture is much
brighter, because of rural electrifi-
cation. Families living on farms
served by REA-financed systems can
have push-button lights, running
water, refrigerators, water heaters,
clothes dryers, air conditioning units
and the other modern comfort and
conveniences city folks enjoy"

History repeated itself when the
House was debating statehood fo,
Alaska. I thought of that as l quoted
from speech made on the floor more
than IS years ago.
| quoted the first governor of the
State of Montana, Joseph K. Toole.
Before he was elected governor,
Toole was voteless Delegate to
Congress, like E. L. Bartlett of Alaska
and Mrs. Joseph Harrington of Ha-
waii. Toole made great speech while
the House was debating statehood
for Montana. Everything he said
about Montana then is true of Alaska
now.
eve are bound by the highest duty
to admit these territories" Toole said.
eve are a republican of States and
not of Territories. Our Territories
are dominated and controlled by a
centralized power at this Capitol
which was never designed to con-
tinue day longer than the necessity
therefor existed. Professions of SYM
pathy no longer assuage US, and no
amount of insincerity will hereafter
put us aside"
Toole went on to specific criti-
cism.
Congress, he said, 'has given US
a system of courts inherently wrong.
1t has regulated the number of our
judges which is grossly inadequate in
every instance, resulting in the de-
lay. and in many cases the denial of
justice"
This is true of Alaska today. Elk
cept for municipal magistrates who
deal only with minor offenses within
the limits of Incorporated towns,
every judicial officer in Alaska is
federal. And there have never been
enough judges in Alaska.
Congress "has reserved the right
to invalidate any law which our Leg
stature may pass, thereby destroying
the full faith and credit which our
legislation ought to command" Toole
said.
This is the case with Alaska today.
Congress "has withheld from US
our dowry Of land" Toole said, ''and
refuses to give us any kind of super
vision or control over it until we
become a state, and then sets de-
to work to prolong the
time when that shall happen"

Seasonal employment gain S
through the spring and summer are
expected" Chairman Smith added,
with new job openings developing
at Tiber dam, at the Great Falls and
Billings air facilities, and for con-
struction of a new airbase at Glas-
gov. The latter will not make its
employment debut until June or
July"
In addition, Smith pointed out,
there are heavy commercial and in
stitutional building programs under
way at Billings, Bozeman, Helena,
Missoula, and Great Falls, all of
which will be using more construc-
ton workers through the summer
than at present. The reverse is true
at the new aluminium plant in the
Flathead, where some contracts are
reaching completion. The force there
is 1900 as of May /, will probably
reduce 300 this month, and construc-
ton will be about completed in July.
"Operation of h e aluminium
plant" Smith said, twill require 500

HERES A FARM BUREAU

PRICE SUPPORTS!

Farm Bureaus as a whole, from
American Farm Bureau on down, sell
dom deviate from the U. S. Chamber

price supports" are, somehow or an
other, more than a little "un-Ameri-
