Zinc-Lead Mine On Taku River Will Be Closed

JUNEAU, R-The Consolidated Mining and Smelling Co., of Can ada reportedly plans to close its zinc and lead mine at Tulsequah
 The mine, near the Alaska Canada border on the Taku river 50 miles east of Juneau, now en- ploys about 300 men Kl year round mining operations. Work reportedly will continue this summer, with the mine closing this fall.
 Floyd Guertin president of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, said the company blamed the planned shutdown on declining market prices for zinc.
 In addition to zinc and lead, the mine also has produced some copper and gold.
 Cominco officials in Vancou- yer and Trail were not avail able for comment on the report
 The officials earlier were re- ported concerned over a proposal placed before President Eiser- hover by Felix Wormser, assist ant Secretary of the Interior. It would increase the US. tariff on imports of lead and zinc.
 Cominco general manager R. Perry said:
 'It's too early to comment, but any increase in lead and zinc tar ifs would be serious"

StepOvich Asks
 Referendum With General Election

FAIRBANKS, R- Gov 5desig- nate Mike Stepovich proposed Friday that any referendum to show whether Alaskans want statehood, be held as part of a general election at which voters also would choose their congress sional and state officials.
 Stepovich, in a telegram to Rep. Miller R-Neb), made the sugges- tion in commenting on an amend ment to the statehood bill ap- proved Friday by the House Ter ritorieS subcommittee.
 Stepovich said if the amend ment is "the will of Congess," and is included in the final version of the statehood bill, 'fas governor I will carry out the provisions of the law as expeditiously as pos sible and will call for special election"
 However, the 36-year-old law yer who is expected to take his oath as governor in two weeks, said "Alaskans have twice before convincingly expressed their op inions on this question at the polls"
 He cited the 1946 referendum election and the 1856 balloting which approved the proposed Alaska constitution and adopted the Alaska Tennessee plan to fight the statehood campaign.
 Stepovich said he felt inclusion of the proposed referendum as part of the general election of congressional and first state of ficials would be satisfying the will of Congress and at (the) same time avoiding expenditure of tax payers funds which I consider an unnecessary expense"
 Stepovich sent copies of the telegram to Delegate Bartlett and to Reps. Engle O-CaliG and Saylor R-Pa).

Drops Label

ST. LOUIS, MO.-The St Louis
Post-Dispatch, the city's after
noon newspaper, Is in the process
Of dropping racial identifications
in its news columns when II Is not
pertinent to the story, the St
Louis Argus learned this week
The policy, long an irritant In
the community came into practice
at the Post-Dispatch this week.
Evarts Graham, city editor Of
the newspaper, told the Argus
Thursday morning the newspaper
was not dropping racial identih-
cations entirely, but would do so
when It is not pertinent TO the
story.
obviously II there is a race
riot, II win be necessary to identi-
fy subjects. OF course II there Is
a meeting at the YMCA, II would
not be so. The policy Will simply
be a matter Of Judgment" he said
With the dropping Of the racial
tags, st. Louis three area newspa-
pers all conform TO the good
judgment" policy in the treatment
Of its news. The st. Louis Globe
Democrat dropped the system
some two years ago and the East
st. Louis Journal has not race
labeled for a number Of years.
The Twin Cities dailies in Min
nesota stopped race labelling over

There is a maxim in the field of

| ing, set ourselves TO the great
challenge of doing something a
bout II.
Our Economic Problem
The National Baptist Conven-
ton, Inc, has a constituency Of
between four and five million. APP
proMmately half of the Negro
church members in the United
states are Baptist. Our National
Baptist Convention has the great
est potential for a far reaching
educational and religious program
of any denomination in the United
States, and yet, on a per capita
basis, we do less than any Negro
denomination, TO say nothing Of
the whites.
According 10 statistics, there
are approximately four times as
many Baptists in our Convention
as there are members In one Of the
other outstanding denominations,
the AME church and yet is is said
that the AME church raises four
times more money than our entire
Baptist Convention, Inc. II is re-
ported that in a single state alone
such as Florida or South Carolina
or Alabama or Georgia, there Is
raised more money in one year
than our National Baptist Conven-
ton raises at any OF its annual
sessions.
Let US assume that our Con
vention will raise 100000 In
Louisville on the week Of Labor
Day, 1857. Let US consider the
possible minimum Of messengers
to the Convention representing
our four million Baptists. A hun
