The roly-poly disc spinner has
been a mainstay of the station
since its initial operation three
years ago.
This was substantiated by Mrs.
Joe Howard TO a reporter for
this newspaper. However, the
station or Howard would not
comment on the situation, up to
press time.
Howard, it is believed, IS not
a victim of the payola scandal
that is razing the country'S disc
jockeys, but instead a part OF
misunderstanding between him
and the company.
His robust voice and jovlal

Activities Planned
For Units In 1860

NEW YORK--As a preliminary
10 launching his 1860 activities,
NAACP Program Director James
l. Farmer, Jr., today announced
results Of extensive analysis OF
varied Association activities.
Reporting to the 50th annual
NAACP meeting here, Mr.. Farm

branches have expressed need
for further guidance in registra-
ton and voting campaigns In
Northern cities.
Discrimination against Negro

among NAACP branches. Also
educational problems posed by

President cannot feel that
efforts to assure American
citizens of the right to vote
are too radical.
Other highIighfs Of the
decade cited by Mr.. Will

ify of the Negro vote; the
1850 Supreme Court de-
cision banning exclusion
of Negroes from fax-svp-

more the issue. No candi-
date who hopes for nomina-
ton can ignore the issue.
A significant index of the
Importance attained by this
question during the past de-
cade may be found in the
effort of his supporters to
paint a Texas senator-can-
date as a deviate from the
traditional southern posi-
ton on civil rights"
Referring to the reported
effort to enlist the aid of
former President Harry S.
'rrumanin support of the
candidacy of Senator Lynn
don Johnson, Mr.. wilkins
noted that Mr.. Truman's
assistance was being sought
because of the reluctance
of northern Democratic
leaders to support the Tex
as senator.
The Democratic leaders
in the big urban centers in
the North realize the inn
portance of the NIyro vote,
Mr.. wilkins asserted. "They
have good reason to doubt
that Negro voters will sup
port Senator Johnson or
anyone with his background
and record, despite their
high regard for Mr.. Tru-
man. The real test will be
whether or not Senator
Johnson, as majority lead
err, can get any meaningful
civil rights legislation thru
Congress this session." the
NAACP leader declared.
Mr.. wilkins also express
ed concern that Washing
ton reports indicated disin-
terest on the part of Presi-
dent Eisenhower in the pro-
posal to appoint federal re-
gistrars to protect southern
Negroes right to vote. 1t

considered fully emPIoysble."

He said the present caseload
is the lowest since Nov. z, 1903.
A similar program was consld-
cred two years ago, according
to Ryan, but was sidetracked
when the rolls began to swell
and there was a prospect some
of the factory workers would be
called back.
Ryan believes that il may be
possible to provide job opportu-
mites for welfare recipients able
to absorb special training and
new skills.
Among the agencies Ryan be-
lieves could help develop the
program are the Michigan Voca-
tional Rehabilitation, Michigan
Employment Securities Commits
sion, Board Of Education's Gui-
dance Placement Service, Good
will Industries, League for the
Handicapped, Urban League and
City Civil Service.
The Chicago program, In
which relief recipients are used
in packaging and other opera
tions under contract, will be re-
studied as il pertains to Detroit,
Ryan said.
Weekly work duties In City de-
partments now are performed by
1854 persons on the Detroit
rolls.

This political reaction
was forecast by Roy Will

secretary of the National
Association for the Adj

50th annual meeting here
today.
Mr.. Wilkins report re-
viewed trends and deveI-
opmenfs in race relations
and civil rights in the
United States during the
ten-year period of the
lo50s.
The overriding issue dur
ing the decade" he assert
ed, was desegregation of
public education. The rul-
ing of the United States SUI
preme Court on May IL,
1854, that racial segrega-

a turning point in the long
struggle of Negro Ameri-

Records Set by Gas
And Electric Utilities

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (AP).-
Electric and gas utilities pour
ed out energy as never before
to help feed the 1859 industrial
upsurge.
Both industries rang up
bumper years. They sold more
customers more power for more
money. And they set aside
sizable funds to enlarge facili-
ties for still more growth.
Even the steel strike failed
to slow demand for gas and
electricity. In fact, demand
reached record dimensions at
times during the strike.
Utility experts figure the two
industries will hit higher pro-
duction and profit totals in
1860 as the power needs of
homes and factories continue
to mount.
Here's how the Edison Elec-
trio Institute. spokesman for
the private electric companies,
sizes up the 1859 results and
the 1860 outlook for the elec-
trio utilities:
Customers climbed by % per
cent to SIS million in 1859 and
should total 58.7 million by
the end of 1860; sales advanced
9 per cent to 625 billion kilo-

year was close to a nine-year
low. The index represents the

Quick Frozen Foods estimated
the retail value of 1859 sales of
frozen foods at $2,610,000.000,
up 12.5 per cent over $780,

lication estimated that unit
sales of complete dinners on a
tray. with compartments for
meat, potato and vegetable, had
doubled from rs million in 1857
to l52 million this year.

Lower Prices Pushing
Food Buying Higher

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (AP).-
Americans bought more food
at generally lower prices-in
1859. Prices are expected to
average a little lower this year
Although many food shop
pers may not realize it, month
ly figures from the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics were any
where from 0.5 to 4 points be-
low the comparable 1858 figure
from February through Octo-
Der.
Due to an increase of 4 per
cent in tonnage. the total
spent on food through ali
channels of distribution rose tc
$73 billion from $70.5 billion
in 1858, estimates Paul S
Willis, president Of the Gro
eery Manufacturing AsSocia-
ton.
The outlook for 1860, &C.

is for a greater food supply
and hence slightly lower prices

Grain Prices Remoin
Near Support Figures

However, when the market
climbed to a little above that
figure, selling usually increased
sufficiently to meet immediate
commercial demand.
Wheat spread over the broad
est range of the major grains,
hitting a high of a little more
than $2.10 a bushel late last
spring shortly before the start
of the winter crop harvest.
Despite a considerably small
er yield than the record 1858
crop, prices slid gradually and
at the peak of the harvest were
down about IS cents from the
years highs. Production still
was in excess of expected needs.
Export markets were consid-
erably more competitive for all
grains. Although the Govern

production costs in other ma

Cattle Prices

CHICAGO, Jan. 5 (AP).-
Cattle prices on the Nations
livestock markets in 1859 were
at their highest average since
1852 but hog prices. reflecting
sharply increased production,
were down more than IS per
cent.
Slaughter of cattle and calves
declined about 6 per cent from
1858 but because of the heavier
weights at which the animals
we've marketed, red meat pro-
duction increased about is bill
lion pounds to almost 27.25
billions.
Except for small declines in

The 1859 grain futures market
