Y.—“Equitable provision for eligible families ol all races without discrimination, is part of the language of a reso lution passed recently by the Housing Authority of the City of Pasco, Washington. The resolution, a direct result of a community survey conducted by the National Urban League, ends discrimination in public housing in Pasco. The Urban League is the country’s oldest ami only interracial service agency working for equal economic op portunity. The town’s population has been mushroomed by the establishment in the Pasco-Kennewick-Richland area of the Hanford Works of the Atomic Energy Commission. The survey of economic and so cial conditions were conducted by Dr. Warren M. Banner, director ot the League’s Department of Re search, and Community Projects at the request of a tri-cities com mittee of civic leaders, who were concerned about the social prob lems arising out of over-taxed community facilities. x>i. Banner spent January and February, 1951, making a care ful examination of housing, health, education, recreation and group work, juvenile delinquency and ('crime, the church, Negro enfter r1 prises, race relations, social agess cries .the Atomic Energy Commis aoB, mm! General Electric Com pany (the principal contractor). His report brought to light severe rocial discriminatjori in the Trs I City area in housing and employ- j merit and made specific recom mendations few correcting these condi tions. “That the Pasco Housing Authority follows a uniform prac tice in assigning tenants to unit* as they are eligsbel for vacancies, without regard to their race," was the recommendation which ha*, borne fruit in ResoLutaoc No. 114, adopted by the Houring Author ity. Eh. Banner also recommended that private industries and labor unions which have not accepted Negro workers “be urged to re view their policy ^sd practices from the pemt of view of Cull utilization of available manpower and also to bring fisehr practices into thorough aeccedassee with the a±a.t» fair emnin? fitues* practices law.” He further advised adult edaca tu>n fyojeett with the co-oper»— tion of the Board ®€ Ediacalaoc.. and health i cofitmuicMiiSy rfeam up projects organized by Negro, leadership.

Smptr • TATS Sit TO A 1C A l iOCIATT j j It was customary for some of the Indian tribes of Old Nebraska' jto pay each other extended visits. Dr. Robert C. Farb, professor of I Ihistory at Simpson College in In- , dianola, Iowa, describes one such ! visit in the September issue of! Nebraska History, the quarterly magazine issued by the state his torical society. This was the visit of the Win nebagoes to the Omaha in the j wmter of 1863-64. It was no or dinary visit, but a sojourn lasting more than a year and resulting !ultimately in the transfer of the, Winnebagoes to a reservation in' ; > V : • -- The Winnebagoes, once masters •<o£ lake and forest in the north country, found themselves after the Minnesota Indian uprising of 1861 at Crow Creek Agency on the hot, dry prairies of Dakota I territory. When a drouth in 1863 completely destroyed their crops, they sent a delegation of five to the agency to request that 150 of the most destitute of their number be allowed to live with the Omahas until the Great Father in Washington made adequate pro vision for the tribe. The Omahas agreed, but instead of 150 the entire Winnebago na tion of more than 1,200 men, women, and children descended upon the hospitable Omahas. They dadn't all come during the w-in ter those who died, however, stayed and the remainder came cm during the next spring and summer. So many guests on the reserva tion constituted a serious problem lor tike Omaha agent, Robert W. Furnas {later governor of Ne braska). He contracted with John .Patrick oi Omaha to furnish flour. school youth to study public is sues., debate policies, write legis lation and participate in the proc ess of government through a mode! legislative program.” beef and *alt for the Winnebago*1#' j - the flour »t .IV* cents per pound, the beef at H cents per pound, and the salt at 4 cents i*er pound Patrick was to furnish one pound of flour and one of beef per day for cuch Winnebago on the reser vation Salt was to be furnished at the rate of four quarts per 100 persons. There was concern, too, that the |presence of so many Winnebagoes might cause trouble between the Jtwo tribes. To forestall this, the Omaha chiefs, led by Joseph La Flesche, drew up a stringent set :of regulations for their guests Drunkenness was to be severely punished, as was “dancing to ex cess,” gabling, and setting fire to the prairie woodland. To help the Winnebagoes sup port themselves, the Omahas gave them the privilege of cultivating 100 acres of bottom land. The government furnished the hoes .and seed to those who wished to work, and a fair crop of corn !was rised in 1864 despite the dry weather. Some of the Winne bagoes augmented their income by hiring out to neighboring 'farmers in Iowa as well as Ne braska. Ultimately, the Omahas were persuaded to sell a part of their reservation to the government for the use of the Winnebagoes. Thus, what started as a visit ended as a permanent move. The Winne bagoes have remained in Ne braska to this day. Winhns Sin^.s NFW YORK. (AN1M.

And more amazing, Winters took over the task with only nine hours notice. He filled in for the ailing star scheduled to do the work. He acquitted himself with dis tinction and it is expected he will be given other opportunities to sing the same heavy part again this season. Already Winters had distinguished himself with his presentation of the ‘Messenger s” role in the mystic “Dybbuk.” Jockeys stand in theii stirrups to distribute their weight evenly.
