Colorado Makes
Progress In Civil

BY CONRAD CLARK

Denver, Col. (ANP) - Colorado
has made a good progress in rec
ognizing the civil rights of indiv-
iduals and in combating discrim-
nation in housing, employment
and public accommodations.
Also more progress along these
lines are needed, was the summary
Of the conclusions Of the Colorado
advisory commission on civil
rights, which was issued last week
Commission chairman is former
Minnesotan Arthur Ballantine, Jr.,
publisher Of the Durango (Colo.
Herald-News and Cortez Sentinel
Other members are Wendell A.
Peters, Denver attorney, vice.
chairman; Mrs. L. Arthur Higgins
Denver, director Of the National
Council of Catholic Women; Rabbi
Manuel Lederman, Denver, and
Max E. v. Torres, Trinidad, Colo

standpoint, even in the most ad,

be fairly easy to stir up emotions
against citizens of Mexico, Orienta
and Indian descent.
Such potential dangers empha'

In praising the action Of the
last Legislature in passing a fail
housing act, the report said that
Colorado has directly attacked
what the committee found early
this winter to be the biggest un

orado.
only religious groups and hom'
owners selling their own houses
either through their own efforts
or through a real estate agent, ar

yet to be adopted"
In regards to employment (fair)
the commission said there is ;
great need for well-balanced, wei

Opening lead: Three of hearts

OpClull6 lCdO' LII &C Va AlCdL 70
The bidding followed the
tenets of the Neapolitan Club
system. The opening bid of one
no-trump promised only a good
club suit and the values for an
opening bid. South bid dia-
monds first in order to Jump
in spades later. thus showing
a hand with slam possibilities
and a very strong spade suit.
The rest of the bidding was
strange but logical. Pietro
Forquet and Guglielmo SIMS
calico got to the fine slam in
spades. In the other room of
the match an American pair
stopped at game on the North
South cards. The play was just
as interesting as the bidding.
Vests opening lead knocked
out dummy's ace of hearts.
Forquet led out three rounds
of trumps and then led the
queen Of clubs for a finesse.
Refuses Trick
Sam Fry. holding the East
cards, made a fine play by re-
fusing the first club trick. The
idea was to hornswoggle de-
clarer into repeating the A.
nesSe. If South made this mis-
take Fry would take the king
of clubs and get out safely with
a heart. Then declarer would
have to give up a diamond
trick sooner or later.
1t was a fine trap but For
quet didn't tumble into it. The
Italian master could afford to
put up dummy's ace of clubs.
If only low clubs fell on this
trick he could take the dia-
mond f1neSSe and would at
worst give up one, diamond
trick. AS it happened the king
of clubs fell under dummy's
ace, and Forquet made all 10
tricks.

The incident of the two in
dignant mayors at the Ah'
Force weapons meet" in Flor
ida raises some questions:
Why we're the mayors and
other guests flown down to the
meeting at taxpayers expense?
And why was the Air Force
shooting up the Gulf Of Mexico
from high-priced airplanes-
also at taxpayers expense?
Air Force spokesmen here
give several answers:
First, the Air Force has an
obligation to tell the taxpayers
what it is doing. That is why
it few 164 reporters and pho
tographers and a dozen civic
leaders to Tyndall Air Force
Base near Panama City, Fla,
to let them see for themselves.
This is the most effective and
economical way Of giving a
large number Of taxpayer-rep-
resentatives a look at the Air
Defense Command in action.
Second, the ADO air and
ground personnel must prac-
tice somewhere with their
weapons. 1t is economical to
send them all to Tyndall Field

demonstration was "a damn
outrage being perpetrated on
the taxpayers" the Air Force
here has been busy trying to
justify the whole operation.
The Air Force and other
services have been criticized in
the past for spending money
on public proficiency demon
trations. Air Force officials
don't want to give UP the
shows, so they want to con-
vince the public they are
worth while.
CrltlcS IN Congress, the press
and the city halls Of at least
two New England cities seem
to accept the thesis that the
Air Force must fly and prac-
tice, but they have a hard
time accepting some of the
sidelights of the demonstra-
tionS.
For instance, why not let
reporters pay their own way to
Florida? The Air Force answer
is that air crews are required
to fly around anyhow to main
tain their proficiency, so it

handouts were an effort to keep
the public informed. Privately,
Pentagon officials say the
bathing beauties should have
been tossed out and the in
formation officers VINO got too
high-pressure are justifably
criticized.
Industry Exhibits Free
Why the industry exhibits?
The Air Force says it merely
provided space for exhibitors
who sell to the Defense De-
partment to show their wares.
No public money was spent.
Do these shows go on very
often?
All the services have them
in some form or other, and
reporters and civic leaders usu-
ally are invited and frequently
are given free transportation
Defense Secretary McElroy
himself invites a group Of
newspaper editors and publish
ers and industry officials each
year to tour several military
bases at public expense and
watch "flrepower" demonstra-
tions.
Were the Vermont Mayors
justified in their criticisms?
The Air Force will say only

doesn't cost the public any
thing extra II they load some
Of those planes with reporters
and fly to Florida.
Why Mayors?
Why take mayors2 The
mayors who went to Tyndall
are from towns with nearby
Air Force bases. Noisy Jets, the
Air Force says, make relations
between the Air Force and the
citizens strained. It Is cheaper
to sell the mayors and other
opinion leaders on the necessity
of Air Force practice operations
than 1t would be to move the
bases to other sites.
And, say Air Force spokes-
men, the mayors can learn
more at one demonstration
meeting than in repeated ex-
planatory letters and visits
from generals.
Why the widely published
pictures of bathing beauties
draped over Air Force planes?
Why the flood of press hand
outs to newspapers-more thar
could possibly be useful?
The official answer here is
that 1t was a private promoter
who took those pictures and
distributed them, and the

The other complaint came
from a member of the Texas
Legislature, Representative Bob
Eckhardt, Democrat Of Houston,
a stronghold of the wing of the
Democratic Party in Texas
which has rebelled against
Senator Johnson in the past.
Mr.. Eckhardt charged that
Speaker Rayburn and Senator
johnson are trying to keep
other Democratic presidential
hopefuls out of Texas. Their
chief objective for 1860 should
be to defeat the Republicans,
he said.

the great galaxy of prospective
candidates, too." Mr.. Eckhardt
protested.

Several other mayors there
