WASHINGTON
REP. JOHN f. HENDERSON
murdered Merchandise

Many residents of southeastern
Ohio, particularly those living on
rural routes, have complained to
me in recent weeks about the
growing volume of unsolicited
mail which they received. The
increase in the practice of send
ing unordered merchandise
through the mails also threatens
to become a national problem.
Occording to preliminary infor-
nation gathered by the House
Post Office and Civil Service
Committee, this business has
grown to tremendous proper
tons, crossing hundreds of mil
lions of dollars a year for its
shady operators.
The pattern of such practices
usually involves a firm sending
the unordered merchandise to an
individual family. This is fol-
lowed with very strong collec-
ton letters. To avoid trouble,
unsuspecting recipients of such
mail pay for the unWanted items
only to find themselves placed on
''preferred list. This results
in their being bombarded with a
volume of like material,
Since most Of these packages
take advantage of low third
class mail rates, the Committee
is concerned that the Post Office
Department is, in effect, sub
sidizing such operations by UNI
scrupulouS business houses. The
new hearings, intended to eX-
plore the possible need for tight
ening postal laws and regula-
tions, will be welcomed by per-
sons who have been bilked by
these and similar practices.
The inquiry, however, will not
| extend to items such as key iden-
tification tags which established
and reputable veterans organiZa-
tons have been mailing for many
years. The Committee will be
pleased to receive information
| which southeastern Ohio resi-
dents wish to present concern
ing any experiences they have
| had with SuCh possible ABUSES OF
postal facilities.
Minimum Wage Law
Questions have arisen concern
ing the new Minimum Wage law
| which goes into effect on March
|. This law provides for raising
| minimum wage rates from $.75
per hour to $1.00. In response to
the inquiries l have received, the
new law does not extend cover
age to groups of employees not
already included. In other words

Summerfield residents are

which vitally destroyed the busi-

homeless, guted II different

The five families completely

The Real School Shortage

Much has been written about
the shortage of school-roomS
and school teachers in all too
many sections Of the u. S. A.
Once again the Federal Gov
ernment is flirting with the
idea of sticking its messy
fingers into the various states
ostensibly to take care of this
shortage of claSS-rooms and
teachers. We know this prop
osed grab for control of our
public schools as Federal Aid
to Education" More properly
it should be known as Fed
eral Control of Education"
1t is true that many sections
of the country have not been
able to increase school faclll-
ties to keep pace with rapid
growth of population and there
does exist nationwise a short

age of claSS-roomS and teach
ers. That is something about
which we should all be con-
cerned. But it is a problem for
each individual state to tackle
on its own. It is not a job for
Federal Government to handle,
for despite claims to the con-
tary, with Federal Aid to
Education, inevitably control
must follow any such aid.
However, serious as is the
overcrowding and shortage of
school facilities, there is an
even greater deficiency re-
flected in the failure of many
of our grade schools to instill
in the minds and hearts of
their students an understand
ing and appreciation of Ameri-
canism. In other words, they
are not carrying on a program
of education for good citizen

RailBias On The Wane
From: The New York Times

Eighteen railroads operating in New Ork and New
Jersey have rendered signal service to American de-
mocracy for which they deserve the nations applause
They have given public assurance that their employ
ment policies and practice free of all dis
ordinations against Negroes and that many Negroes
are being employed including in supervisory posi-
tons. Credit for all this is also due in part Charles
Abrams, Chairman of the New York State Commission
Against Discrimination, and to Dr. John P Miigan,
his opposite number in New jersey and to their as
socates, who have been working for year to end
racial bias on the roads
Because discrimination has been more deeply en-
trenched in the railroad industry than probably any
other the action of the eighteen companies is particular
ly welcome. AS every traveller knows, Negroes have
been CONSPICUOUS for their absence in railroad trains of
fces and yardsexcep for walters and porters in dining
parlor and sleeping cars-and through wish of their
Organized labor has had to share the blame for
this with management. The constitutions of all the
operating brothehoods close the door of membership to
Negroes
But the unions can also share the credit for at
sured the state authorities that these provisions of their
charters are being waived in New Jersey and New York
being done also in the eleven other states that have
similar anti-discrimination laws.
What has happened in New Jersey and New York
should, OF course happen in every other state in the
union Negroes should be freely admitted to union
bershlp not by waiver of existing discriminatory
sttutOna provisions but by their complete and speedy
removal. And railroad arrangements in other states
should follow the lead of the enlightened eighteen.

Overshadowed in many respects by the Legend of

The central core of the world idea, the new

Christ is the fact that all equal in life and

The most forebodng and perhaps tragic fact of this

fought during the lifetime of generations yet alive
free the world from such solely besetting ills is the
that yet everywhere evidenced by sef-seekng poll
