in THIS CORNER

How many times have you ever
stopped and thought about the
way we handle our social actiivi-
ties? Would you say then that our
community government could have
done something to foster success +?
Or would you say that our COM
munity government is not entirely
at fault but rather the whole COM
munity in general? What is wrong
with the way we put up social ac-
tivities?
One of the most glaring weak
nesses of Filipino activities, with
particular emphasis on social dam
ces, is their duplicity. It appears
that this duplication of similar ac-
tivity is a habitual, if not, persis-
tent characteristic of our social
program. In the opinion of many,
this rather inconsistent and disas-
trous practice has led to many
failing programs.
Why is it then that we insist on
putting up duplicate activities
when we know it is unealled for?
Should we compete with each 9TH
er even to the extent of dispensing
our efforts towards disharmony
and disunity.
The social position of the Fill
pinos within the greater communi-
ty is minor one. We are a mi
nority group. Being that as it is,
Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1957-06-21

we should promote unity from
within in order to develop and fos-
ter better understanding among us
and to gain respect for our people.
Only by showing the greater COM
munity that we can put up sue
cessful programs can we prove
that we are capable people.
Our capabilities could insure our
social position. Let's get together
today.

Girl, Is, Held
With Narcotics

A l6-year-old Northwest girl
who was arrested at her home
carrying 80 capsules of narcotics
during a police raid yesterday
was committed to the Welfare
Department by Juvenile Court
Judge Orm w. Ketcham.
The girl wept as a social
worker told of her association
with adult narcotics users and
addicts. Although she did not
appear to be an addict or user
herself. she had friends, the
social worker said, who were in
volved in narcotics peddling.
The weeping girl shook her
head when Judge Ketcham
asked if she had anything to
say. Her lawyer said the girl
was afraid of her former adult
companions and should be COM
smitted to an institution for
her own protection"
But the girl is still loyal to
her adult friends and refuses
to say anything about them. the
social worker said. Some of the
adults involved in the dope
traffic are still at large, the
lawyer said.
The girls mother and STEP
father are devoted to her but
do not give her enough super
vision. the social worker said.
Il don't think l need to give
you a lecture on this" said
Judge Ketcham. Il think you
realize just how dangerous your
situation is. Whether you were
a user or not you were on the
verge of almost irretrievable
trouble"
The girls lawyer pleaded
"nolo contendere" which means
in effect that the girl had no
defense to the charge of pos
session of narcotics but that she
was not pleading guilty.

Hackers Amend Petition,
Ask Higher Fare Increase

A group of taxi drivers today
filed an amended petition with
the District Public Utilities Com
mission seeking slightly higher
increases in fares than had been
asked before in exchange for
dropping requested addition OF
new zones.
The drivers and taxicab asso-
citation officials met last night
at 1908 S street NV. and de-
cided they would seek the inr
crease in fares rather than
creation of a fifth zone north
of Military road in Chevy Chase
and shortening of other zones in
the Northwest section.

The group, which has no

garding proposed changes in
zone boundaries.

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. / (P.-
More than 100 passengers
aboard the Chesapeake Bay
Ferry Delmarva were stranded
for about two hours early yes
terday when the ferry ran
aground off Kiptopeke Beach.
holland c. Chandler, Superin-
tendent of Ferries fer the Ches-
apeake Bay Ferry Commission,
said the grounding was caused
primarily by an extremely low
tide.
The Coast Guard sent a cut
ter and patrol boat to help pull
the 350-foot ferry off but before
the cutter arrived the Delmarva
relocated herself on the incom-
ing tide.
Mr.. Chandler said an exam
nation indicated the ferry had
not been damaged and she con-
tinued in service.

Suggest End
Of Chicago
Race Clashes

Chicago, Sept. 5 - A program
to end this city's racial distur.
Dances was proposed by the
president of the Chicago NAAcP
branch at a public meeting
here last week.
The September l meeting was
called by the Coordinating Coun-
Gil for Civil Rights. A state.
ment 81 Willoughby Abner,
Chicago NAACP president, read
for him in his absence, dealt
with AACP policy and action
regarding racial violence such
as that which occurred recently
at Calumet Park.
Calumet Park was the scene
Of a racial clash on July %
when some IS Negro picnickers
were stoned by whites and the
windows of some of the Negroes
automobiles smashed.
Mr. Abner's statement held
the fundamental problem" G.
racial disturbances here to be
that Chicago is "a segregated
city-segregated housing and
de facto segregated schools are
the rule, not the exception"
With this situation, the state
men continued, "how can there
be racial friendships and amity
without racial understanding
And how can there be racial
understanding without associa-
tom"
One part of Mr.. Abner's pro
gram dealt with several methods
of working toward open occu.
pancy housing. These methods
included support by the city
administration Of anti-discrim
ination housing Legislation at
both the city and state level
and instructions to the police
to protect citizens exercising
the right to live in other than
aIl-Negro neighborhoods.

New Postoffice Here Takes
On Encouraging Aspect.
Civic, Federal Men Meet

Omaha Postoffice planners re-
ceived an optimistic, encouraging
report on its new proposed build
ing from Joe E. Moody, assistant
General Counsel, Real Property
Division, of the General Services
Administration, Washington D.
C. today.
Mr.. Moody, at lie invitation OF
Chamber of Commerce President
Ralph E. Svoboda, came TO oma-
ha to confer with a group OF
Chamber and civic representa-
tives, Mayor John Rosenblatt.
Senator Roman Hyruska and Con.
gressman Glenn Cunningham
Tuesday september l0) morning.
The Counsel outlined several
paths the city could follow in the
planning of the downtown build
ing. Adding thai the city could
not move too fast in its plans for
construction, he stated that the
responsibility and problem of fl
nancing the building would prob
ably fall upon Omaha citizens,
with the Federal Government to
make payment in full.
Dan Monen, Sr., named Chair
man Of the Chambers special
committee on Federal buildings
by Chamber President Svoboda,
pointed out that from an effici-
ency standpoint, the upkeep on
Omaha's present Postoffice build
ing is far greater than the up
keep on a new Federal building
would be.
Mr.. Moody cited the enthusi-
asm and spirit of cooperation and
interest by Omaha civic leaders
as well as the Nebraska Congress
sional delegation, for their action
in seeking the immediate con-
struciion of the Postoffice.
The group suggested that Mr..
Moody meet with local attorneys
during his stay in Omaha to dis
cuss the legal aspects necessary
in studying the possibility of a
special municipal election to
issue revenue bonds in the near
future.
During his discussion, Mr..
Moody explained that the origi-
nal GSA cost estimate made on
the Omaha Postoffice in July,
1855, is still very close to pres
ent estimated construction costs.
Others attending the morning
meeing were City Cooncil Presi-
dent A. V. Sorensen, A. F. ia
