WATCH ON THE POTOMAC


The purpose, of course, is to keep
in office politicians of meager quail
ification who throttle their opposi-
tion, white or black, with every
trick they ever learned in the poll
teal backrooms.
THE SHAME OFgTHE NORTH
What makes the Civil Rights report
particularly valuable, though, is the
commissions awareness of the un-
happy situation that exists in many
metropolitan centers above the Mason
Dixon line.
These were some of the commits
sion's discoveries when it examined
housing conditions in Chicago (said
to be one of the worst so far as breed
ing racial tensions), New York and
Pittsburgh as well as smaller urban
communities.
First" the report asserts, "a con-
siderable number of Americans. by
reason of their color or race, are be-
ing denied equal opportunity in hous-
ing. A large portion of colored Amer
leans are living in overcrowded slums
or blighted areas in restricted sections
of our cities, with little or no access
to new housing or to suburban areas
:. Housing thus seems to be the one
commodity in the American market
that is not freely available on equal
terms to everyone who can afford to
pay i. A nation dedicated to respect
for the human dignity of every indi-
vidual should not permit such condi-
lions to continue.
Second, the housing disabilities of
colored Americans are part of a ma
,ional housing crisis involving a gen.
eral shortage of low-cost housing
From these facts it is evident that for
iecent homes in good neighborhoods
% be available for all Americans, two
hings must happen: the housing
hortage for all lower income Ameri-
.ans must be relieved, and equality
If opportunity to good housing must
,e secured for colored Americans"
To men like Faubus, Eastland,
Russell, Talmadge (and some of the
Northern bosses who secretly work
with the Dixiecrats) this is danger
Gus talk from the staff of a govern
ment agency. To other Americans
it may sound like common sense and
offers a good argument for contin-
uing the life of the Civil Rights
Commission.

Beck Sentenced To Five Years by Fed. Judge Denouncing Him for Greed

TACOMA, Wash, R - Former Teamsters Union president Dave Beck received a five-year sen tence and $6O,OOO fine Friday for income tax evasion, plus a double barreled denunciation from the judge.
 "The exposure of MT. Beck's in satiable greed, resulting in his fall from high place, is a sad and shocking story" said U. s. Dis trict Judge George Boldt, in a scathing, 2O-minute lecture before passing sentence.
 Beck quickly posted $70,961.52 to cover the fine and court costs and was released. After his con- viction February 19, Beck spent a night behind bars for the first time in his life before appeal bond was set.
 A motion for new trial was denied.
 The government could claim more than half a million dollars from Beck.
 He was charged with evading $240, ,6O7 for the years 195O-53, but the government raised it's esti- mate of the amount actually owed to $258,636. In addition to the fine and court costs, 50 per cent fraud penalty of $129,318 and S96,- 996 in interest at 6 per cent brings the total to $555,911.
 Beck, GA, stood calm and quiet,

one hand clenched behind his back and the other in a trouser pocket, as the judge began his announcement.
 He refused two invitations to address the court. But later he told reporters, q am not the first innocent person to be sentenced, nor will I be the last. :. :"
 Boldt said Beck's rise from a laundry truck driver to million aire labor leader was a better rags-to-riches story than any Horatio Alger plot. But he said Beck must take first place among the more than 50 tax eVaders I have sentenced"
 'tMr Beck plundered his union, his intimate associates and in some instances his personal friends, most of whom quite readily would have given him anything he asked" the judge said.
 Other excerpts from the pre- sentence speech:
 Actually, the evidence of the incidents of fraud involving, rela- lively small amounts show the avarice and culpability of Mir. Beck with striking emphasis.
 ''Mr. Beck cheated every last humble American who pays in come taxes by attempting to evade his personal taxes and thus cast his share of the tax burden on his fellow citizens. :"

Hoffa Authorized To Call For Picketing Sears In Organization Drive

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, R - The Teamsters Union directors have given James Hoffa authority to call a strike against Sears, Roe buck and Co.
 The union is trying to organize Sears mail order, warehouse and truck driver employees across the country.
 There was no elaboration from the union on how a strike would be conducted.
 However, in union organiza- tional campaigns a call for a strike of a non-organized com pany or plant ordinarily means a picketing of the company's op- erationS.
 Under such strike the union seeking to organize the workers establishes picket lines in efforts to persuade employees to enroll in the union and customers to re- frain from conducting business with the struck company. Ordinarily there is no require ment that any company workers who have signed up with the union leave their jobs. On the contrary, in many instances those already enrolled remain on their jobs and continue to advocate union en- rollment of fellow workers.

Pan American Airways Strike Called Off

NEW YORK, R = A federal mediator announced Saturday that a threatened strike Monday by 5000 employees of Pan Amer ican World Airways has been averted.
 Agreement Gin principle" was reached after an al1-night nego- tiating session, according to Fran cis O'Neall, Jr., member of the national mediation board.
 He said the agreement concerns wages, rules and working condi- tions." A shorter work week was a major object of the union, but there was no indication whether or not the agreement provided for a shorter work week.
 The union represents ground and air personnel such as stew ards, stewardesses, mechanics and pursers.
 The union maintained a shorter work week was needed to offset what it predicts will be a de crease in employment because of the replacement of conventional planes by jets. The workers in volved now work either a 3711- hour or a 40-hour week.
 The jets carry more people faster, requiring fewer aircraft, and smaller inspection and main tenance crews, the union held.

Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) argument in support of or oppo- Sition to some of the suggested county names.
 Doing Honor To Dogs
 In fact, the volume already has drawn criticism from George Sundborg, Gruening's administra- tive assistant, for the authors fail ure to name one of the counties for Anthony J. Dimond, longtime Alaskan delegate to Congress and early statehood advocate.
 "You have overlooked his name completely Sundborg wrote, while doing honor to an assort- ment of dogs, non-Alaskans, anti Alaskans and rascals."
 In naming the suggested coun- ties, the authors said, they set up 12 priorities ranging from des- ignations unique to Alaska to eminent Alaskans up to the pres ent era.
 Among the Aleut, Eskimo or h. dian names the authors would be- stow on their proposed counties would be Afognak, Aleutian, Cari- bou, Chilkat, Chinook, Dyea, Kat mai, Kayak, Kenai, Klondike, Ko- diak, Malemute, Matanuska, Nuni- yak, Potlatch, Tlingit, Totem and Yukon.
 Early Russian Influence Noted
 The Russian influence on early Alaska would be noted with des- ignations such as Baranof, Boring, Czerina, De Gagarin, Etolin, Ku- preanof, Kuskoff, Pribilof, Reza- nof, Rurik, St. Elias, St. Lawrence, Shelikof, Vasilief and Won Langs- dorff.
 Beechey, Cook, Lynn and Point Hope note the influence of early English navigators. Not to be over looked are the Norwegians - Am undsen, Balchen and Gjoa.
 There's also a list of counties bearing Presidential names back to the Mckinley era, although Roosevelt would have to do for both Theodore and Franklin D.
 Delving into the field of Alas kan and Arctic literature, the county advocates propose "a Rex Beach County and Jack London County. Robert Service is honored along with two of his famous characters, Sam McGee and Dan McGreW.
 Gruening. Bartlett Counties
 The eminent modern Alas kans' singled out for remem- brance would provide the county names of Bartlett, Bunnell, Du- Fresne, Gruening, Hubbard, Jack son, Stepovich, and Wickersham.
 Largest of the proposed units would be Will Rogers County, a 4O,300 square mile area with Bar row as it's county seat. The small est would be Pribilof, the island, with St. Paul as it's seat of govern ment.
 Anchorage would be the county seat of Malemute County, Fair banks of Caribou County and Ket- chikan of Tlingit County. Juneau would be the seat of government for Lynn County as well as the state capital, Sitka for Baranof County, Nome for Bartlett Coun- ty, Petersburg for Johnson Coun- ty, Seward for Nellie Neal Coun- ty, and Cordova for Roosevelt.
 That's not all of them, but it may be enough to shed little light on the proposal. Not North ern Light though. You'll find that in Aurora Borealis County. Bettles would be the county seat.

County Democratic Committee Takes
Stand On Naming Of School Board

Columbus County's Democrat.
ic executive committee stepped
in and took a stand this week
on the Squabble between Senat-
or Arthur Williamson and Re-
preventative Ed Williamson on
naming a county school board.
Senator Williamson said twen-
ty-onc Of the 25 executive COM
mlttce members directed a pet
ltIOn 10 the two Legislators urg-
ing that the present county
board of education be reap
pointed.
Early in the legislative season
a bill was introduced in the
House by Representative Ed
ward Williamson calling for ap-
polntment of a completely new
county board of education. The
bill passed the House some two
weeks ago and was sent to the
Senate education committee.
Senator Williamson stated to-
day that he would probably
place the names of the present
county board on the bill, have it
passed in the Senate and re-
turned TO the House for approx
al.
When it gets back tn the
House then it will be I'D to
Representative Williamson to
take whatever action he desires.
II seems to me that the petition
from the county Democratic
executive committee would
serve as mandate to both Of
us to rename the present
board" said Senator William
SON
Should Ed Williamson refuse
to go along with reappointment
of the county board then the
issue would most likely be re-
solved after adjournment of the
General Assembly in June. The
procedure after adjournment
would find the matter going to
the State Board of Education.
The Board would in turn con-
suit the county Democratic exc
cutive conn 'l!9e for CON
mendations.
Senator Williamson pointed
out that he already had a petit
ton from 81 of the 25 members
of the executive committee di-
rectcd to the State Board of
Education requesting that the
old county board be reappoint-
ed.
D.! A compromise between the
two legislators seems most I'M
likely at this stage.
Senator Williamson earlier
. had offered a proposal to Re-
preventative Ed Williamson that
, each name three members of
the county board with the Sc
lection of the seventh member
TO be decided by a drawing of
StrawS. Representative William
son refused this offer. Now, the
Representative has offered to
give Senator Williamson four
: appointments on the county
board and three on the White
vile city school board. But Sen
ator Williamson has declined.
q. The Senate committee on ed
ucation is slated to meet tomor-
row and some action is expected
to come from this meeting re-
garding Columbus County's
school board appointments.
