DAVID LAWRENCE

Gov. Leroy Collins of Flor
ida is known as one of the
moderates. as contrasted with
the extremists, with respect
to racial strife in the South,
so what he has just said in
criticism of the sit-in demon
strations is indicative of the
deep feeling that is being en-
gendered by these episodes.
The Governor made a pub
lie speech on Tuesday at
Lakeland. Fla, which, so far
as this writer can determine,
was not generally reported in
the Northern press. He said:
To-day we see white Amer
leans and colored Americans
facing each other with glow
ering hate. willing to set
whole communities aflame. all
over whether they are to be
permitted to sit at the same
counters in ten-cent stores. g..
Racial discord in America
is following a Communist
script, whether or not it is
written from the Kremlin. 1
would not know about this.
But, frankly, if the leaders
in the Kremlin had worked up
a plan to weaken us through
out the world, I can think of
none which would be more
effective than the script we
are now following"
The Florida Governor de-
clared that the "f1libuSter in
our great national Congress
is being projected before the
world as a bitter controversy
between A orleans over
whether Negro citizens are
free to vote in our free elec-
tions." The truth is, as Sem
ator Talmadge of Georgia
pointed out the other day,
large numbers of Negroes do
vote in Southern States. The
question of their qualifica-
tions hitherto has been a
State problem.
Il think" said the Cover
nor, IF the men in the
Kremlin were writing a pre-
scription for destroying
Am erican influence. they
would include discrediting
American freedom and de-
mocracy by presenting US to
the world as nation torn by
internal observation-disclosures
able of dealing justly with one
another in spirit of mutual
respect and brotherhood"

Weakening of American Influence
Feared From Disputes in South

up with a good suggestion
when he proposed at his press
conference yesterday that
there be "biracial confer
ences in every city and every
community of the South"
which, he said, would be
much better than trying to
get up here and direct every
single thing from Washing
ton"
The President was asked if
he believed that Negroes have
guaranteed rights to eat
with whites at lunch coun-
ters." He replied:
Now, my own understand
ing is that, when an estab-
lishment belongs to the
public, opened under public
charter, and so on, equal
rights are involved, but I
am not sure that this is the
case. whatsoever. I was talk
ing about demonstrations of
marching in the streets or
any other kind of peaceful
assembly.
Now those, to my mind,
as long as they are in orderly
fashion, are not only con-
stitutional, but they have
been recognized in our ,un-
try as proper since We .tave
been founded. Now, the diff
terent types, different ways
in which resentment or de-
f1ance could be expressed. 1
just can't. 1 couldn't possibly
go into all those details-I
don't know"
ConStitu tional lawyers
would add, however, that the
people of Little Rock also had
a right to assemble in the
vicinity of Central High
School in 1857, but mere fear
of mob violence caused the
Federal Government to send
in troops to disperse any as
sembly, peaceful or otherwise.
Today Negro leaders are
provoking bitter feeling in
the South by sit-in demon
stations which. in themselves,
are unlawful and a violation
of the rights of private
owners of restaurants. Any
organization that planned
the demonstrations must have
known that sooner or later
the participants would be
elected and, if disorderly,
would be arrested and pun
ished. Was this a plan to
provoke resentment, to pub
licize the disorders, and to

Says Sales Tax

Surveys show that a proposed go

adopted, would bear twice as hard

John "A. Gronousli, state tax COM
missioner, told the annual meeting
of the Wisconsin Association of CO.
operatives here October 49, WAC
has opposed sales tax.
For example, Gronouski said,
30 sales tax ON a farmer with
gross income of $4,000 would cost
him an estimated $66 a year COM
pared to $31 a year additional tax
he would have to pay if income levies
were boosted. This would be true
even if Wisconsin exempted seed,
feed and fertilizer from farmers tax
payments, he added, as Iowa has
done. He said all classes of farmers
with gross income below $4,000
would be similarly affected.
The association, by resolution, OPP
posed legislation of the type intro
duced unsuccessfully in the 1860
State Senate, to levy a franchise tax
on farm producer co-operatives. The
proposal, by State Senator Kirby
Hendee of Milwaukee, was smothered
31-1.
WAC also authorized it's represent
atives on an informal joint committee
with Wisconsin Council of Farmer
Co-operatives to continue their dis
cussions looking toward merger.
They favored national Department
of Consumers. And they elected

ident, respectively.

Kruse Honored for Long Yecrs
Of Service to Agriculture

, of Labor which some years ago was
streamlined out of Agriculture.
The real estate brokerage laws of
Montana are very lax, and are the
commissioners biggest headache.
There is no examination required
and brokers are not required to keep
separate from their own pocketbooks
the earnest money OF prospective
buyers.
Under a 1859 legislative act the
advance fee racketeers can be CLASH
fled as felons and be extradited from
other states for bilking Montanans.
The effectiveness of the 1859 law is
up in the air, pending decision on it's
validity by the State Supreme Court.
Kruse has a few things to say
about duplication of regulating agen-
cies. "The only streamlining being
done is in the taxpayers pocketbook."
No new reviews need to be under
taken to search for ways to econo-
mize. The only thing that came out
of the little Hoover committee was
the personnel studies which came to
nothing. "You can go back and read
Joe Dixon's message to the Legisla-
ture 40 years ago if you want to see
how to economize.''
Kruse indicated that while there
seems to be duplication it is only in
theory, not in practice. What is really
needed is more all-purpose regulatory
personnel. If the employee had several
functions there could be higher sala-
ries paid at saving to the state. For
example the brand Inspector could
also inspect the scales at the sales
yards. Adjustors for hail insurance
could help out with the work load
in other areas of agriculture if there
were no claims to adjust. The spec
ialist in state government is proving
to be an expensive empire builder

Mine-MiII Protests Move
To Weaken Safety Codes

| BUTTE - "The Montana Mine
Safety Code Committee has been
moved to modify, to soften, and to
weaken the effect of many of the
safety provisions in the draft code
issued by the committee in February,
1860" This was the principal charge
leveled by Ernest Salvas, Butte, Ex-
ecutive Board Member, International
Union of Mine, Mill G. Smelter Work
ers at day-long hearings on the pro-
posed Montana Safety Code for
Mine, Quarries, Mills and Shelters
held last Thursday at the Library
Museum Building, Montana School
of Mines.
Salvas testified that in response
to the invitation of the committee,
the Mine-Mill district office in Butte,
and the Butte, East Helena and
Great Falls Mine-Mill local unions
had submitted more than 80 specific
proposals for strengthening the draft
safety code. 'T note with regret,
said Salvas, chat the committee has
incorporated less than half of these
proposals in it's latest revision of the
code. These recommendations were
designed to strengthen specific safe
ty code provisions which we consid-
cred Inadequate in the light of our
extensive practical experience in
mining, smelling and refining opera
tions and of our careful review of
the safety codes of other states"

the proposed code as seriously made

advised the committee of the lack
of adequate provisions in the code
for safety requirements in the smelt-
ing and refining branches of the in

think of special hazards, such as
those associated with the handling
of hot and molten metal, work in
and around reverberatory furnaces,
