"In Montana, which probably
is going to be deficit feed area
because of the lack of rain and
grasshoppers, the farmer could
divert the 10 per cent reduction
to barley. 1t would keep him out

One other item of Importance
is that under the Emergency Feed
Grain program that was passed
in the early days of this session
barley was not included. How
ever, under the bill that was
passed by the House the feed
grain bill was extended for a
period of one year and it in
cludes barley.
Other provisions of the bill
that were included generally fol-
lowed with the extension of Pub

Cab bFirmsA Ask
Hearing Delay

Representatives of about
half the cab drivers in the
District last night appealed to
the Washington Metropolitan
Area Transit Commission for
a 30-day postponement in a cab
rate hearing scheduled for
Tuesday.
The informal hearing will in
volve proposed standardized
rates for passengers riding from
within the District to points in
neighboring counties. A spokes-
man for the hackers said the
postponement was requested so
that cab companies would have
time to gather cost estimates
and other material to present
to the commission.
Lauritz Nelson, chairman of
the board of the Capitol Cab
Association. said representatives
at last nights session control
about 1000 cabs in the District.
I'VE received rather short
notice of this hearing" Mr..
Nelson said, and we want
to be able to go into the meet
ing prepared with facts and
figures"
Mr.. Nelson said that under
present conditions each COM
pany can set its own rates to
areas outside the District. He
added, however, that most COM
tpanies use a 40-cent-a- mile
average as a guide. In the Dis
trict fares are set by zones.
Mr.. Nelson said that several
years ago most cab companies
agreed on voluntary set charges
to certain locations outside the
District-primarily military in
Stallations and airports.
Signers of the. request for the
postponement represented five
car companies-Lincoln, Har-
lem, Diplomat, Diamond and
Star-and the United Hackers,
Crusader Cab and Capitol Cab
Associations.
Representatives of other
firms were at last nights ses-
sion. but were not empowered
to sign the request, Mr.. Nelson
said.

for a week to "brainstorm" a
new classification pay system
for Federal classified employees.
With visions of palm trees
and sunny Florida skies dane
ing before their eyes, most of
the personnel people at the

However, csc officials put

IRONIC NOTE - Here's an
ironic note. All jobs on the
Presidents Committee on Equal
Employment Opportunity will
be excepted from civil service.
The reason given for placing
these jobs in excepted sched-
ule A is that it wouldn't be
feasible to hold exams for the
jobs involved. The Civil Serv-
ice Commission agreed to
exempt the jobs from civil
service.
The committee is designed
to combat racial, religious or
any other kinds of prejudice
and discrimination in filling
Federal jobs and those filled by
contractors holding Govern
ment contracts. Apparently the
only discrimination permitted
is against the civil service
system.
DISGRUNTLED - Many re-
tired Federal employees are far
from happy over the Govern
ment's uniform health insur-
ance plan being offered them.
Many retireeS feel the plan is
too costly. doesn't offer enough
benefits and also that the
price and benefits compares
unfavorably with private health
plans that retirees can now
get.
The Civil Service Commits
sion itself acknowledges that
only 100000 of the $50, 900 re-
tirees eligible for the health
insurance program have regis
tered thus far, although the
deadline for registering is
April 80.
The fact that only 100, 900
have taken action so far is a
good indication that the rest
of the 350,000 are very much
undecided as to whether to
enroll under the Governments
uniform plan or to enroll in
one of the private plans with
the Government contributing
So or Sc a month toward the
plan, depending on whether it
is for self only or a family
plan.
csc officials acknowledge
the uniform plan is far from
perfect, but say it is as good
as possible under the circum-
stances. They also declare that
once a retiree enrolls under
the uniform plan aetna Life

on all counts. We feel we came
to a fair and Just decision.
The verdicts speak for them
selves. :"
| The jurors who decided the
fate of DR.. Finch and Miss Tre-
Igoff were the same dozen who
on March 81 convicted them.
DR.. Finch was found guilty Of
tive capital offenses-first de-
gree murder and conspiracy to
commit murder. Miss Tregoff
was convicted of one capital
ffense-conSpiracy to commit
murder - and Second-degree
murder. which carries penalty
of five years to life in prison.
California's penal code pre-
scribes that life terms shall be
served concurrently, however
many such sentences are i'm
posed. Thus, DR.. Finch's two
life terms will be served con-
currently, and he will be eligible
for parole as early as Miss Tre-
goff. He can apply for parole in
1853.
Their attorneys automatically
made a motion for a new trial.
but Attorney Keith admitted he
lhas little hope the motion will
be granted,
Judge David Coleman set
April II for a hearing on the
motion. Dr.. Finch and Miss
Tregoff may be sentenced at
the date, too. .
Where the two serve their
sentences will be determined by
the State Board of Prison
Terms and Paroles, after sent
ence formally is passed. DR..
Finch probably will go to San
Quentin, and Miss Tregoff to
California's Institute for Wom-
en- at Corona. The respective
prisons will decide what their
work assignments will be.
Although each spent nearly
18 months behind bars during
the three trials-Miss tregoff
was out briefly on bail-that
time will not count in any pos
sible consideration of parole.

Insurance Coz the company
cannot at any time cancel the
policy. The retiree may, if he
wishes, continue coverage for
life, secure in the knowledge
that it can never be Cancelled
except at his own request. On
the other hand, private plans
can always be Cancelled by the
companies underwriting them
at any time for reasons of
health, age, ETC., csc officials
point out.
Incidentally, this is not the
case with Federal employees now
covered by the Government
employe health insurance pro-
gram. Employees can never be
dropped from health insurance
coverage involuntarily. This is
because there are many differ
ent plans under the Federal
employe health insurance pro-
gram which is under Civil
Service Commission control,
whereas there is only one uni
form plan for retired employees,
The Government will contrib
ute its share of payment for
retirees who decide to enroll
or continue in private plans,
but that is the extent of the
Governments participation in
outside plans.

dry organizations over the past few months young
Negro men and women with their future before
them, are being called upon to join these various

activities and programs
An investigation of why Negro applicants who
are otherwise qualified are turned down for GER
tain jobs reveals the Importance that employers
give to clubs, organizations and movements that
people join.
The October Issue of SEPIA outlines in full
detail how thousands of innocent Negroes of all
ages and all walks of life are jeopardizing their
future by being "joiners" without thorough in
vestgation.
The article discloses the gimmicks used to en-
tlce Negroes into sinister dishonest groups SIM
ply to swell the membership role just to raise
money. This innocent membership card later be-
comes a detrment in character evaluation
Every Negro with an eye to the future, and
especially young Negro men and women should be
aware OF the pitfalls of association with and mem
bership in organizations that can ruin future op-

We Are Convinced Beyond Doubt

In an editorial last week. our distinguished con-
temporary, the Pittsburg Courier expressed itself
as being skeptieal about anything worthwhile be-
ing solved by the activities of the Freedom Riders.
Here's what the Courier had to say: accord
ing to the Congress of Racial Equality, it has
spent to date $2OO25O on Freedom Rides, includ-
ing ball. legal fees, legal expenses, travel, train
ing, hospital bills, phones kilograms, and printing;
and not including overhead, office expenses and
fund raising costs, and not all bills have been re-
ceived."
There are some who will contend that this
expenditure was and is worthwhile, but since moth
ing has been solved by this activity, we are con-
strained to be skeptcal"
We go our distinguished contemporary one
better by asserting that not skeptical but
completely convinced that nothing worthwhile is
being solved by the activities of the Freedom
Riders.
Gus Hail. the Secretary of the American Com
munist Party, recently asserted that there are
communists among the Freedom Riders What we
say below is not directed to the communists nor
their SympathlZerS among the Freedom Riders
being convinced as we are that this group would
have the Freedom Riders activities go on until
Russia has squeezed out of it the last drop of
anti-democratic propaganda.
To those among the Freedom Riders who
have the sincere conviction that their participa-
tion in the CORE activities is helping the cause
of Negro Freedom in Mississippi, and in the rest
of the south, would point out what to us ap-
pears plainly evident and that is rather than
helping to bring about any worthwhile results
CORE and it's activities have become symbols of
resistance, and is delaying and making more tor
tous the accomplishment of any worthwhile aims.
We further convinced that those with sim
cere convictions could best serve the cause of
Negro Freedom in Mississippi and in the rest of
the south by the complete withdrawal from CORE
and its future activities.
