I am sure that it is common
knowledge among the readers of
the SUN that Dewey Swihart is
reSigning as Executive Secretary
of the Y.M.C.A. and leaving to
become a member of the ma
tional Y.M!C.A. staff.
Recently a letter has gone out
from the President of the Board
of the Y to Members of the
Board inviting them and other
friends" to a "get together" din
ner honoring Dewey for his long
and highly successful leadership
of the Phoenix Y. Letters were
not sent out generally because
Dewey's friends are legion and
it would be impossible to reach
them all by letters. The dinner
is an open affair and it was felt
that the board members could
get the word to as many as the
Round Up Room can hold. The
city of Phoenix for many years
has intruSted the character
training of its young men and
boys to this man and the whole
city is indebted to him for the
liberal attitudes that the Y has
engendered in so many of its
developing citizens.
I can well remember when I
came to Phoenix IL years ago
this August that when Carver
opened in September we had an
early visit from a Y secretary
suggesting that we organize a
Hi-Y among the Carver boys. I
had had experience previously
with H-Y in a city where there
was only a white" Y. I raised all
of the leading questions. Would
our boys be able to visit the Y
like other Hi-Y boys? Would
they be able to use the facilities
at the " (Meaning mainly the
swimming pool.) Would they be
able to enter teams in the Y's
athletic contests? Would they be
included in the Y's Youth and
Government program? To me
Phoenix looked just like any
other segregated city. I saw very
little difference between Phoe-
nix at that time and the south
ern city I had just left except
that the Negro population was
smaller, poorer, and less priv
ileged and SO had been able to
create fewer social institutions
of it's own. (In the matter of
Y.M.C.A. this turned out to be
fortunate.) I did not intend to

and come to see me again. A
couple of days later he did re-
turn and the answer was yes.
Some of you remember that.
Mr.. Joe Flipper took on the
sponsorship Of the Hi-Y. He was
very fortunate selection. He
was a very busy new teacher
with heavy program but he
didn't hesitate a moment on
this proposal; he almost asked
for it. He kept it until Carver
was closed.
Almost at once I got the feel
ing that there were two strong
influences at work in Phoenix,
one for a city in which all peO--
pie were treated as equals with
out regard to color, and another
that wanted no part of such fool

M. C. A. leadership was evident

and liberal point OF view. did
not know then just how much
weight the Y was destined to
have in the city'S decision for
social decency.
There were, of course, others
besides Dewey Swihart who were
for an integrated Y but, believe
me, if Dewey had opposed it
or had not given it his support.
the weight of the Y's influence
could have delayed for many
years the emergence of Phoenix
from the southern side of the
civil conflict.
Many trial balloons were sent
up. Negro boys were taken to
the Y's summer camps. I was
invited on the Boys Work Com
mittee. Then the real test was
made-a Negro was employed
on the Boys Work staff. Things
slowed along until the building
campaign was successfully COM
pleted. This shows how uncer-
tain the situation was. Then the
Y really became integrated to
all practical purposes.

WASHINGTON - Charges of
miSdeeds by labor union officials
in all parts of the country are
contained in more than $4,000
letters received by the Senate
RacketS Committee headed by
Sen. Mcclellan (D-Ark.).
The offers of information, and
charges, have overwhelmed the
relatively small staff of the Sen
ate committee, with the result
that investigations may never be
conducted on many of the
charges.
The letters admittedly may
contain many spite" charges
and may reflect rivalry within
local and international unions.
But, nevertheless, amazement
has been expressed by commit
tee members that the charges
of corruption and misdeeds are
so numerous.
Meanwhile, it appeared doubt
full that legislation will be enact
ed at this session which would
curb the vast power of labor
union bosses.
Some members of Congress say
that this can be attained only
through revision and tighten
ing of the Taft-Hartley Act.
Fears voiced by some members
that the Mcclellan committee
inquiry might result in "persecu-
ton" of labor unions are re-
garded as utterly unfounded.
In fact, the big labor union
bosses seem to feel that they
can thumb their noses at the
Mcclellan committee with i'm

Against the four-spade con-
tract Mr.. Muzzy led the ten Of
diamonds and Mr.. Masters won
with his lone ace. He led q small
spade to dummy's king and re-
turned Q spade. When Mr..
Champion showed out, discarding
a small diamond. he went up
with the ace and paused to
check up on his chances.
Obviously he would have to
lose a spade and q heart and
therefore could not afford to lose
two clubs. 1t was too much to
hope that Mr.. Champion had
both ace and queen Of clubs, so he
decided to end-play Mr.. Muzzy
and hope for q break.
After cashing the ace and king
Of hearts and ruf1ing dummy's
last diamond. he led q third
round Of trumps and put Mr..
Muzzy in. Mr.. Muzzy cashed the
queen Of hearts. Then he shook
his head sadly, since it appeared
to him that the cause Of the de-
tense was now hopeless. Actually
he was in no trouble at all and
he should have known it.
There was only one card in
his hand which he could not af-
ford to lead at this point. But
he has a facility in this direction
and. with unfailing accuracy, he
selected the ace Of clubs. After
that card was played there was
no way to beat the hand.
Mr.. Muzzy should have count
ed the hand as follows: His part
ner had shown out Of spades on
the second lead Of that suit.
Therefore, Mr.. Masters had five
spades. Mr.. Champion had
shown out on the third lead of
hearts and so Mr.. Masters had
four. Mr.. Masters had ruffed
q second round Of diamonds,
showing one card in that suit.
Clearly, then, he had three
clubs.
II Mr.. MuzZy had returned q
diamond instead Of laying down
the ace Of clubs. Mr.. Masters
could have ruffed in dummy and
discarded a club from his hand.
But that would not have saved

 An altercation between four men and a woman preceded the shooting, but the dead man and the injured were described by police as innocent bystanders. All of the persons involved were Ne groes.
 There was mild confusion as lights were turned on and the show stopped. The gunman and a woman companion fled and the police had made no arrests hours laters
 Most of the crowd apparently thought the shooting, in a packed balcony area of the auditorium, was stunt rigged as part of the show
 Killed was Clay Greer Phelps, 42, maintenance man at Cath ollie Church. A woman, 26, was struck in the left foot by one of the shots and a man, 43, was shot in the right leg.
 The show was resumed after the dead man and the injured were removed.
