BY EARL H. VOSS

In the midst of the national
Juror over school indignation, there
has been substantial quiet-almost
secret-progress in striking down
racial barriers in business and in
dustry
The curious lack of publicity given
the very real recent gains in this
field of migration has been de-
liberate. Companies operating in
the deep South and in segregation
list areas Of the North have pred
icated moves to bring Negroes into
their organizations on the strict
understanding that a fuss isn't to
be made over 1t.
That is why the Presidents Com
mittee on Government Contracts,
whose job it is TO make sure that
there is no discrimination by COM
panies that do business with the
Government, cast its recent prog
ress" report in such general terms
that most newspapers devoted little
space to it.
In some cases even the news
papers, radio and television stations
Of an area have co-operated ir
playing down industrial indignation.
And for their own special reasons,
both groups in the race conflict
the segregationists and the integra-
tionists-have refrained from call
ing attention to the steps being
taken.
Tokine the Quiet Rood
Here are some examples OF why
the Presidents committee is taking
the quiet road in It's attack on in
dustrlal race barriers:

Race Issue Is Paramount
In Move to Merge Cities
BY ALEX r. PRESTON

NEWPORT NEWS, Va.-Outside
of this Lower Peninsula area it is
not generally realized that the rapid
increase in Negro population is a
prime factor in a move to create
city that would be Virginia's third
largest in population and largest in
area.
On November s, voters of New
port News and the adjoining cities
Of Hampton and Warwick will de-
eide by referendum whether to
merge into one metropolis.
It's name would be Port City.
Behind the choice of that name is
a story in itself.
Newport News with its huge ship
building facilities and ports for for
eign commerce is probably the bet
ter known Of the three throughout
the world

and was next to Arlington County,
the smallest in the State. But it
incorporated into a city to prevent
Hampton and Newport News from
gobbling up its territory through
annexation.
Rore Occurrence
In Vlrginia's history, cities and
counties have merged into one only
twice before Richmond and Man
chester NOV known as South Rich
mond merged in 1910. Elizabeth
City County, the city Of Hampton
and the town of Phoebus merged
into the present city OF Hampton
IN 1852.
So, today. on the northern banks
OF one Of the worlds finest sea-
ports-Hampton Roadside three
cities whose total area is l2l square
miles.
On the South side Of Hampton
Roads jealousy watching every
move on the Lower peninsula, are
Norfolk-which is Virginias larg-
est city--and the busting city Of
Portsmouth. separated from Nor
folk only by a river.
Today Newport News has a pop
ulatlon estimated at about $4,000.
Nearly half OF the inhabitants are
Negroes, More than half of the
children enrolled in public schools
are Negroes.
Newport News elects its own

The lady in a Baltimore drug
store was holding out her hand for

Someone grabbed it and started
shaking it. George Perry Mahoney
was plying his trade.
Mr.. Mahoney has been shaking
hands by the thousands for better

job as Governor or Senator. He

keep him coming back.
If he succeeds this time in be-
coming United States Senator from
Maryland, the 54-year-old paving
contractor will owe debt to for

E. Tydings.

If the Republicans lose the ma

coast to coast are having much
more difficulty putting across the
prosperity theme than they are

Navy scientists announced yes
Iterday they have picked up
radio waves from Venus, indicat-
ing that the nearest planet is
much too warm for life as earth
lingS understand it.
The radio contact was reported
by three civilians working for
the Naval Research Laboratory
here. They said this was the
first time they have detected
very weak radio waves from the
planet. which can now be seen
as the bright evening star in
the sky.

several times during May the

equipped with a meter which is

The scientists said that their
readings, which can be heard
as faint Kissing, show that the

surrounding Venus is about 900
degrees fahrenheit. eight de-
grees more than the boiling point
Of water at sea level. They ex-
pressed belief that the tempera-
ture on the planets surface must
be even higher.
The Navy laboratory has been
getting radio readings from
Venus since the first week in
May and expects the waves to
come in even stronger about
June %. when Venus will be
only 81 million miles from
earth.
The 50-foot radio telescope at
the Naval Research Laboratory
is specially designed with equip
ment tc receive radio frequencies
up to 10000 megacycles-which
means a very low wave length
of about 3 centimeters, or ~
inches.
The Navy scientists said they
have yet to pick up radio waves
from other planets, although this
will be attempted.
They explained that it was the
heat around Venus that set up
the radio emissions.
