Queens" 1.-THE term they pre-
fer no longer work exclusively as
kitchen helpers, domestics and Of
flee clerks. They are currently
holding down top executive posi-
tons, running our leading social
agencies, supervising our school
children, and wearing the blue uni
form of New York's finest.
Local Hangout
Queens" no longer are conferred
in one bar, one eatery, one street
corner. They are everywhere. On
Harlem's mainstem West 125th
ST. at any hour of the day they
can be seen perched on bar stools,

The gay crowd is so large that
its members do not have to look
out of their group for suitable
partners. Queens" do occasion
ally pick up a stray young man
(trade), but generally the really
grand Queens" stay with their
own crowd.
It's because of this that the gen.
eral public does not regard the
Queens" as an immediate prob
lem. Harlem seems indifferent to
them, To the average Harlemite a
Queen" is just another city curio.
There are, however, great
many Harlem parents and respon-
sible people who are concerned
with the effect these Queens"
will have on the young men in the
area.

mated that in the Harlem area

Papers on Soviet Entry
In War to Be Released

The Defense Department said
today it is surveying its files "to
collect papers pertinent to Rus
sia's entry into the Pacific war;
and that lots Of them will be
made public.
Gen. Macarthur, wartime Pa
cific commander, had demanded
that all papers relative to his
position at the time of the Yalta
conference be made public.
However, C. Herschel Schooley,
Defense Department information
director, told reporters:
'Conceivably the release will
be in narrative form, without
complete inclusion of source
documents,
The general has denied re-
ports that he favored Russia's
entering the war against Japan
when concessions were made to
the Soviet at the secret Big
Three Yalta meeting.
Forrestal Diary Cited
The diary of the late James
Forrestal, then Secretary of the
Navy and later Secretary of De-
tense, has been one of the main
pieces of purported evidence
that Gen. Macarthur pressed
for Russia's entry. It stated he
"felt that we should secure the
commitment of the Russians to
active and vigorous prosecution
against the Japanese. :"

exams or qualified for their jobs
but who for various reasons were
not selected from civil service
registers, were not given career
or career-conditional status.
Consequently, even though they
may have considerable seniority
over other employees in their
agencies, they would be the first
to be dismissed in Federal re-
duction-in-force programs.
Mr.. Pelly's measure would give
career status to indefinite en-
ployes who have three or more
years of continuous Government
service. Indefinite workers with
one to three years of continuous
Federal service would receive ca
reer conditional appointments
and career status on completing
the three years continuous serv-
ice requirement.
Mr.. Pelly said his bill, in
order to prevent career appoint
ments of unfit or unqualified en-
ployes, provides that career or
aforementioned appointments
would be given the employees only
if their agencies recommend
such action. Also. the employee
must meet Civil Service Com
mission standards regarding the
position he or she fills.
Mr.. Pelly said many indefinite
employees have been denied ca
reer or career-conditional status
through no fault of their own.
The Governments new career
program gave this status only to
indefinites who were selected
from civil service registers.

Virginia Gets
Bigger Return
From Timber
BY the Associated Press

Virginia is receiving bigger
and bigger yearly returns from
timber harvested in its national
forest lands.
IN 1914 the States share was
s613.
But the total has grown each
year until receipts for the year
Iended June 80 amounted to
i$74.729.
An official Of the Department
Iof Agriculture's Forest Service
said still larger receipts are ex-
pected.
THE general picture certainly
is favorable for a rather gradual
increase in both volume and
value of timber" he said.
After the lands for the George
w ashington and jefferson
forests were acquired under a
1911 act, the timber generally
was in very poor condition, the
official said,
Fire control, which has been
very effective in Virginia, proper
cutting and the gradual matur-
ing of trees have combined to
increase the value of the annual
timber harvest" he added.
States containing nationa !
forest lands receive IS per cent
of the money collected by the
national forests within their
boundaries.
The law earmarks the State
payments for public schools and
public roads in the counties In
which the land is located.

Ethical Society Opposes
Favorable Vote on Plan

The Northern Virginia unit OF
the Washington Ethical Society
today issued a statement outlin.
ing reasons for opposing favor
able vote in Virginia's January s
referendum.
1t said a constitutional amend
ment to permit State aid for stu
dents in private nonsectariar
schools would be a clear viola
ton of the United States Consti'
tuition. 1t also gave these rea-
sons.
The State Board of Education
would be unable to maintain edu-
cational standards; tax fund
would be divided between public
and private schools; children O
Ilow-income families would have
mo choice between public ant
private institutions; public
schools would be relegated to thu
status of "second-clasS institu'
tons"
Also, it claimed. public edu-
cation would be undermined, anc
he end result would be that thu
people would abrogate their re.
sponsibilty to the future.
