.NOTES
BY JAMES II. LAWSON

UNITED NATIONS, NY. (Glo-
baD Did Ethiopia rebuff a Negro
American woman? This charge has
been made, for the following rea-
son: Mrs. GWendolyn Fowler, a
>DeS Moines, Iowa, chemist, spent
five weeks in training in Washing
ton for an overseas job with the
Foreign, Operations Administration
for health and hospital work in
Ethiopia, and was cleared for the
post by the F.B.1., but was not
given the assignment. 1t was lat
er reported that oklahoma A & NJ
College has the contract to do this
work in Ethiopia"
The charge was made that ap-
proval was withheld because of
"some racial issue" which was mot
raised by any US. officials" This
places the blame on the Ethiopian
government, by inference. Another
statement was made that approval
was not given because of "the sta
tus of women in the near East,
Africa and South Asia"
These statements give a picture
of the Ethiopian government that
is completely foreign to any inn
preston / received when l visited
there in 1852. First of all, women
were given equal rights in Ethio-
pia more than IA years ago, and
many of them are working in the
various ministries, and agencies of
the government. Further, it seems
most unlikely that the United
States government would spend
five weeks training a person for a
lob in a country without that coun-
trys approval beforehand.
When I was in Ethiopia in 1852,
Point 4 had 67 Americans, not one
of them Negro. At that same time,
the Imperial government Of Ethio-
pia had many Negro Americans
working in it's various ministries,
both male and female, and the
Ministries of Education and Agri-
culture were and still are trying
to get more Afro-American in
structors. In fact many Ethiopi
ans, including Cabinet Ministers
and members of the Imperial fam
lily wanted to know why America

modern appliances we have today. So,
of course, his electrical wiring system
has long been out of date.
What's more, many houses built in
the past few years will soon be out of

Fine Scotch is a
family concern

Fine Scotch is precious. It is rare. It is
matter Of family concern.
The distiIlation of fine Scotch calls for
pure mountain water. Experienced artists
must concern themselves with the subtle
blending-and time alone can bring
smooth, complete maturity.
Grants have always beenin the hills around
the sparkling river Spey. With the pure
water of these parts, Scotsmen will tell you,
the finest whisky is distilled.
Grants is blended with skill that has been
handed down by generations-and its
maturing takes many years. For Grants
remain a private family concern, keeping
sternly to their original standards.
Fine Scotch, Grants Scotch, can only be
perfected by time, patience and skill.
Remember that. Never simply ask for
Scotch always ask for Grants BY name.

of Farmers Union Grain Terminal
Association, st. Paul, and E. A. Syf-
testad, general manager of Farmers
Union Central Exchange, spoke Tues
day evening to banquet audience.
Thatcher briefly reviewed GTA's
activities in behalf of grain produc-
ers and pointed up the urgency of a
sound farm program being drafted
by the Congress if American agricul-
ture is to reverse the downward price
trend of the last several years which
threatens economic disaster to SO
million farmers and people living in
rural communities who are largely
dependent upon the farmer for their
prosperity.
Syftestad reported on 1954's rec
ord breaking $55 million gross vol
ume year achieved by the Exchange,
and called delegates attention to the
fact that FUCE moved more than $35
million worth of petroleum products
in 1854. The goal of the regional CO.
operative for 1856, is to exceed $50
million gross volume in bringing good
products to an ever increasing host
of rural customers, through locally
owned farmer co-operatives.
A third speaker at the conference
was Clyde Mitchell, chairman of the
department of economics at the Uni
versity of Nebraska, who spoke on
what can be done for agriculture in
the next 10 years"
Conference sessions were held at
Denver's Shirley Savoy Hotel and in
the new Farmers Union Building
across the street from the Colorado
state capitol building.

his staff and the State Controller
lacked the facilities to analyze prom

get some sort of detailed estimates

without success. No request for addi-

two years, but that farm prosperity
has been hit hardest of all. To catch
up, he said, farmers must increase
personal income IN the next 10
years by at least lis per cent.
Between 1851 and 1854, he said,
personal income of farmers dropped
from $40 billion to $15.7 billion, the
farmers share of national income
dropped from TT per cent to 5.5 per
cent, per capita farm income dropped
from $805 to $500 and farm mort
cages increased % per cent.
ASKS PROTECTION
To reverse that trend, he called
for dynamic and progressive" gov
eminent policies to give direct in
come protection to the farm and to
expand the "mass buying power" of
workers.
Keyserling said that from 1852 to
1854, while profits of corporations
crossing over 500 million increased
10 per cent, profits of small business
firms (grossing $250,000 or less)
decreased 43 per cent. Unemploy-
ment increased from 1.5 million to
more than A million in the same peri
cd, he said.
'While productivity is rising, less
workers are employed for that pro-
.duction. There are actually 2 million
fewer jobs now than two years ago.
sBut how can productivity con-
tinue to grow if buying power does
not also grow?"

"The Governor continues to COM

of his willingness to abandon the
principle of state aid for elementary

message the Governor asked for the
return to the counties and school
districts of the major responsibility
for elementary and secondary edu-
cation and he further stated in his
message the shifting of responsible

to state level is not sound, "a view

have not been sold under the dis
advantageous lease of 1868. There
can be no loss unless the oil lands
are sold at cheap price or by dis
advantageous system such as provided
by the 1853 law.
''It is correct that there have been
no sales. But the drop in sales was
due largely to the drop in interest
on the part of the oil industry in the
Williston Basin development in East
ern Montana. Figures from the office
of Lou Bretzke, Commissioner of
State Lands appointed by Governor
Aronson, show that the oil income
from July /, 1851, to December 81,

Mayor Frank IoDey recently an
nounced that the City of Memphis
was going ahead with plans to con
struct a 100000 XIV plant to thwart
the Dixon Yates plan. He said and
has repeated that the City of Mem

chase power from the Mississippi Val

creation of the controversial Dixon

regarding whether or not he would

of Tennessee and other municipalities

of Appeals to have the Dixon Yates
contract sent back to the Securities

to the equity financing plan of the

Tennessee attorney Joe Volpe, in
the petition to the Court of Appeals
charged that the SEC "erred as a
