COP. Has Nothing To
Boast About

Republican party spokesmen,- chortlng over
their in denying to the countrys old people
the health protection proposed in the Anderson
bill, making big thing of the fact that 21 men,
bers of the Presidents own party" voted with the
Republicans.
The COP appears to be quite happy with its
association with colleagues from Dixie in the tor
pedoing Of health care for the aged. They well
come. These associates, every one of them, are
better known as Di1decrats than as Democrats They
are the same characters who vote with the Re-
publicans against every piece Of progressive social
and civil rights legislation. Not single solitary
of them comes from farther north than Virginia
All Of them come out of a social, political and
moral environment which Is recognized by the rest
Of America and the rest Of the world the United
States greatest and most pressing social problem.
These are the characters who are making COM
mon cause with the Republicans on the health care
issue and all Of the great social issues Of day
On the Republican side, only five Senators made
common cause with the liberals on this issue, and
1t is to be noted that some at least, of these five
have been under rather heavy attack from the Of
ficial Republican organization.
It is possible to make excuses for the Dixie
Gratis on the ground Of their backgrounds in a be-
nighted under-educated economically depressed and
socially and morally decadent region. There is the
excuse that II they more enlightened than
their votes indicate their constituents are not and
they have to get elected.
But what can be said for the northern Repubn-
cans who not only made common cause with them,
but now rejoice in the fact?
It Is not a happy situation, that Of the
great parties Of the north with traditions and in
spiration stemming from Lincoln, should for many

Welcome Shriners And
DAUGHTERS of Isis!

The Ancient, Egyptian, Arabic Order Of the
Mobiles Of the Mystic Shrine Of the United States
and South America, Prince Hall Affiliation which
Is another way of saying "the Shriners," will con-
vene in Minneapolis beginning Sunday, August 5, in
sessions continuing through Thursday, August 8, as
has already been stated at least couple Of times
in this column.
Along with the Shrners, in concurrent sessions
will be its woman's affiliate the Daughters Of Isis
The convention Is expected to bring to the Twin
Cities, estimated 1900. delegates men, women
and children. They will occupy all the available
hotel, motel and private room space in Minneapolis
and st. Paul and they will spend thousands upon
thousands of dollars with local stores (attention
Retailers) and places Of entertainment.
This convention viii bring the largest number
of visitors of American Negro ancestry to cities
of any group which has met here in the two cities
history. The atchstrings Of both cities already
out for the visiting Mobiles and Daughters and we
expect this meeting to be the most successful In
the organizations history.
We know that the local shriners of Fezzan
Temple No. 26, and the Daughters OF Isis Court No.
7. have exerted every ounce Of energy, and in
telligence to do their part to make the meetings a
success. What they have lacked in numerical
strength they have tried to make up in enthusiasm,
devotion and saorfice.
In the minds of the general public years ago
the Shrners image distorted to the extent that
it appeared that the group concerned itself almost
solely with the recreation and pleasure of its men,
bers. This image has changed when 1t has become
known that the Order expends thousands Of dollars
yearly for scholarships for young people, for hos
pitfalls and for tuberculosis and research The
group Is jolly likes people, recreation and fellow
ship for its members but more than that carries
serious religious programs and increasingly ef-
fective drive to get the people registered to vote.
Under the leadership Of its present Imperial
Potentate Booker T. Alexander Of Detroit and his
divan the colorful Shriners have forged ahead to a
place Of prominence and leadership in the fraterna
life Of the nation It's affiliate the Daughters Of Isis
under the leadership Of Mrs. Ercelle Moore have
kept pace with the mems organization in its concern
with the social welfare Of the people Of country
This newspaper Is proud that these organiza-
ons are here in Minnesota for their 1862 convention
and hope for the groups the most successful and
fruitful sessions In their history.
shriners and Daughters Of Isis we are glad you
here!

Entire Nation On Trial
At Albany, Georgia

What is happening in Albany, Ca. these days
is not i9olated in that tragic community but is
happening to all of the United States The entire
country is on trial before the world.
In Albany American citizens Of Negro ancestry
daily being thrown in Jail for attempting to
ercise their Constitutional right of free assembly

The rest of the nation looks as fellow citizens
whose only crime Is that they are tired Of being
denied the privileges of citizenship, Of public
supported institutions, libraries parks and licensed
city public accomodations, take action under Con-
stitutional guarantees to do something to end the
discrimination.
The Negro people of Albany reject the segrega-
ton which the white majority lead by the white
politicians have foisted upon them for almost 100
years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
They are willing to go to Jail and suffer
worse to challenge a system which makes a moc1ery
of American pretensions of equality and democracy,
the world over.
In this fight which uses the non-violent techni-
que Of Gandhi refined for us. participation by DR..
Martin Luther King, and his followers, the Negroes
are bound to win and in winning the entire
country will be the real victor.
1t is sad that Negroes must bear the heavy
responsibility of making country live up to its
highest goals, of liberty justice and equality There
some whites who join in the struggle but still
too few who recognize the full implications of the
image which America presents to the world, when 1t
jals its people, when they seek freedom within
the nations borders.
While we believe the majority of the American
people are in sympathy with the people Of the AL
bany Movement, too many Of them feel that what is
going on in Albany is an isolated symptom, when as
matter Of fact, what Is going on there Is the bus
mess of every American. concerned with this

Opening lead: Diamond queen.
My correspondent incloses a
hand to explain his outburSt,
He was North, the dummy, and
we have to agree that he was
downtrodden in this case.
South won the first trick
with the king of diamonds, and
drew trumps in three rounds,
ending in the dummy with the
ace. He then led the jack of
hearts from dummy and Won
dered how to finesse when East
played the nine of hearts.
AS it turned out, South was
wasting his time. West was
bound to take his two heart
tricks. East's signal indicated
that he had four hearts "a
high-low is used to show an
even number of cards in a
suit so that West could count
the suit accurately.
Gets Out Safely
West got out safely with a
diamond after taking the two
high hearts. Now South had
to lose two club tricks, the
contract and his partners
esteem.
South went wrong when he
drew three rounds of trumps.
After drawing one round of
trumpS with the king, declarer
should switch to the king of
hearts. There is no need to
draw trumpS in a hurry, and
there is no need to take a
heart finesSe.
Suppose West takes the ace
Of hearts and returns a trump.
South wins in his own hand
and leads another heart to the
queen. No matter what is re-
turned, South can get to
dummy with the ace of trumps
to take diScards on the good
hearts.

1882 WATER LEVEL CHANGES VARY FROM NORMAL, ANNUAL REVIEW SHOWS

Unusual precipitation levels resulted in variations from the normal in the annual review of water-level changes in Alaska, according to Roger M. Waller of the water resources division of the U. s. Department of the Interior Geological Survey.
 Water level observations are made in representative wells in major ground-water basins as part of the Surveys program of appraising Alaska's ground water resources, Waller said. He added that a financially CO., operative program with the City of Anchorage involved more extensive observations in the Anchorage area, and that observations by the agricultur- al experiment station in Pal mer also provided greater cov- craze in the Matanuska Valley.
 The water year in the Anch- orage area began with record
