Clean Meat

An investigation Of in
sanitary conditions in Chi
cago's stockyards and packing
houses a half a century ago
brought this full-page adver-
tisement in The Star on June
II, 1905. 1t said. in part: THE
Abattoir at Benning, D. c..
Where Washington Beeves Are
Slaughtered. An invitation is
cordially extended the public
to visit the plant and see how
the meats for Washington
tables are handled. A model
for cleanliness. The present
agitation Of the meat question
affords US an opportunity
which is most welcome. We
would like for every man and
woman in Washington who
buys or consumes meat to not
only visit this abattoir, but the
individual plants Of each OF
the three proprietors. We feel
certain that the result would
be most gratifying :"

Ramsey COP Civil
Rights Group Met
Thursday Night

Strong support for the Els
enhower Civil Rights program,
currently blocked in congress
by Souther Democratic leaders,
was voiced at an open meeting
of st. Paul city Republicans
and independents held Thursday,
July 10, at s pm. at 592 Rondo
street, a st. Paul civil rights
spokesman announced today.
John NJ. Culver, chairman Of the
Ramsey county Republican Civil
Rights committee, said that the
purpose Of the meeting lis to mob
ilize all persons interested in pas
sage Of the Eisenhower civil rights
program before the adjournment
of congress"
1T is apparent that Southern
Democrats in the House will try
TO talk the measure 10 death to
forestaH a vote" Culver said. IF
the bill gets through the House,
there is a great danger that Dem
ocrauc leaders Of congress will
seek quick adjournment rather
than have their party embarrassed
before the people.
1T is imperative that all people
who believe in civil rights should
band together and voice opposition
to Democratic political strategy.
which is to scutte the Eisenhower
program"
Culver praised the Eisenhower
6-point Civil Rights program
which would establish a bipartisan
commission on civil rights, and
would create an assistant attorney
general to head a civil rights div
ision Of the Justice department.
This far-sighted program is in
the hand Of two sltillfully-man-
Southern Democrat lead
ers who voted against every civil
rights measure for over twenty
years Sen. Lyndon johnson and
Rep. Sam Rayburn Of Texas" said
Culver. This discrimination duo
will be working 10 shelve the pro-
gram by arranging for a speedy
Of congress"
Culver added, IF Rayburn and
Johnson are successful then the
blame should be placed squarely
where il belongs-on the Demo
cratic party"
