tuition of the new labor fed
Grafton. established by merger
of the CLIO and AFL were
hailed today Saturday by
James B. Carey, chairman OF
the CLOS Civil Rights Com
mittee.
Carey, who is secretary
treasurer of the CIO and
president of the CLIO Elec-
trical Workers, praised ratifi-
cation of the Constitution by
the CLIO Executive Committee
at a special meeting today.
A veteran campaigner for civ
il rights and champion OF
minority groups, Carey was
a member of the CTO-AFL
unity subcommittee which
drafted the constitution to
govern the merged organiza =
tons.
"The civil right guarantees
and the built-in protection
for every worker regardless
of race, creed, color or nation
al origin are an integral part
of the document I am proud
to have had a share in ia
Shioning," Carey said. THE
new Constitution, in this re-
Spect, goes far beyond any
thing in the present CLIO
Constitution, it exceeds any
thing in the AFL Constitu-
ton. There are at least four
references to this important
subject direct or implied, in
the constitution which will
govern a federation embrace
ing fifteen million workers.
They are not empty words
or hollow phrases Intended to
gloss a situation which must
be met head-on. They carry
authority and they lend Wig
orous determination 10 a sin

ton of the twin evils of dis
elimination and segregation, -
Carey asserted.
He noted the preamble of

In the "mechan," as bait to
coax the tiger out of his lair.
"But this is only used when
the tiger must be killed." she
explained, especially If he is
a man-eater."
The Maharani must be an
experienced huntress as her
favorite tiger hunting weapon
is a .375 caliber express rifle
second cousin to an elephant
gun. with a recoil action that
can give the hunter quite a
jolt.
A few of the reasons the
Maharani finds less time for
pursuing big game now are a
little 6-year-old SOM Jagat-
singh, and the numerous well
fare interests to which she de-
votes a great part of her time
in Jaipur. She also has a great
personal interest in the pri-
vate girls school she organized

only one of its kind there.

Maharani is seeing a dream
come true in that the European

troduced in the school is turn
ing out a type of graduate that
has more knowledge in social
welfare matters and more poise
and self assurance in social
circles.

beauty has just completed a

Like her countrymen, the

smiles when you couple the
word DANGER" with this Indian
national sport. She started
tiger hunting in her teens in
her native Bengalt Since her
marriage TO the Maharaja L
years ago, she hasn't gone on
tiger shoots as frequently as
during her girlhood but she
estimates she has bagged a
total of about Is.
She has even experienced a
wounded tiger charging the
elephant she was on. "You
aim for his shoulder, but
sometimes you miss" she says
with quick smile.
In an interview at the In
dian Embassy where she and
her husband have been the
weekend guests Of Ambassa-
dor Mehta. the Maharani
spoke as quietly and matter
of-factly about tiger shooting
as II she were describing a

There are numerous ways
to bag a tiger" she explained.
She has done it three ways.
In thick jungle areas. the
hunters tthere are usually

on elephants SO yards apart
and wait for their quarry to

In sparser jungle areas. ele-

for his prey to be beaten out
by men on foot.
