A PENNY FOR CIGARETTES Erie, Pa., July 14... .A year ago two employees of the General E lectric plant here conceived the idea of asking war workers in the shops to drop a penny a week in to containers distributed about the buildings to provide a fund with which to send cigarettes to the boys in service. That the idea was a success is best substantiated bv a report this week that more than one million pennies, over $10,000, have been donated to the "keep ’em smoking’’ fund. These two workers are Ray Grappy and Carl Rumberger. Both have been with General Electric a bout two years. The first week the collections totalled $70. The. second week they reached $100 and gradually climbed until a record was established in February of this year when collections amount ed to $307.07. Cigarettes are sent to all Erie boys in servic#. i f* " . 1 Every possible means is l>eing(S taken by the Metropolitan Utilities District to assure that Victory Gardens will have adequate citv water in case of prolonged dry and hot periods this summer, according to Walter S. Byrne, General Man ager of the Metropolitan Utiities District. The Utilities District suggests a voluntary ‘‘Share the Water” plan to become effective at once. . The plan is SirrTple: If your house number is odd,— (endng in 1, 3, 5. 7. 9) you sprinkle on the odd numbered Cays of the month. If your house number is even, (ending in 2, 4, 6, 8 or zero you sprinkle on the even days of the month. Unlimited water is available for gardens or lawns from 10 pm. to 7 am, any day. under the Plan. If water users cooperate with the plan, District officials believe most serious low pressure conditions may be avoided during dry sum mer periods when gardens and lawns require supplementary water Normally peak water consump tion occurs from 5:30 to 9 in the evening when a large number of Pumpage rate sometimes exceeds persons are watering their lawns. 90 million gallons a day during this peak. Add t othis load the irrga tion of thousands of wartime vic tory gardens and pressure is bound to suffer, despite anything water plant officials could do. No water plant, no matter how large or well equipped, could supply water at normal pressure if all water users sprinkled at the same time. The “Share the Water’’ plan will j avert these huge “peak loads’’ on the wrater plant and distribution system, help assure everyone ade quate water. | The plan is purely voluntary at I present The Utilities District of ' ficials are confident that all water users will want to cooperate fully so tha restriction will not become necessary. The plan is not a rationing plan. There is no limitation on the am ount of water used. The only lim itation is the time of use. It does not apply to use of water for pur poses other than sprinkling. The plan has bee nuesd successfully in other cities. Sprinkling of gardens and lawns at night, from 10 in the evening to 7 in the morning, any ady, is rec ommended by the Utilties District. This is good garden practice, con curred in by the experts, including E. H. Hoppert, exteonsion horticul turist at the University of Nebras ka Night watering is preferred be cause there is usually less wind the air is cooer and more moist, and evaporation losses are less. Ten consecutive days with one inch or less or fain calls for sup plementary water, according to the University of Nebraska Extension Service Bulletins. Watering should be deep and thorough ,at intervals no closer than 4 to 5 days, prefer ably a week. At least one inch of water should be applied each time the garden is irrigated. District officials can see no reason why'the “Share the Water” plan should work a hardship on anyone. Sprin ling can be easily planned to con form with the plan.

Illinois, two months agi was exposed an ddenounced for his unfriendly and active opposit ion to the Constitutional rights of 13,000,000 colored Americans on the home front with 700,000 of their sons fighting, bleeding and dying for democracy and the Four Free doms around the world. On the occasion of the militant fight of Senator William Langer (Rep.) North Dakota to secure pas sage of an anti-discrimination a mendment in the federal overtime pay act in this session of Congress, is was Senator Lucas, who joined with Senator Richard Russell (Dem Georgia to kill the bill and line up with the machinist and metal trad es Union in the U .S. Navy Yards against upgrading Colored workers When Senator Styles Bridges (Rep)1 New Hampshire and Senator C. Way land Brooks (RepO Illinois, jointly introduced Senate Resolu tion No. 171 on July 6, 1943, in the U. S. Senate to make a sweeping investigation of race riots and work stoppages on the home front, it was again, Senator Lucas, who re fused to utter a mumbling word to approve the $25,000 absolutely nec essary. As chairman of the Audit and Control Committee of the U. S. Senate ,he was adamant. ***** SENATOR LUCAS SAYS NO! Senator Lucas for the third time used his high place and power in the U. S. Senate to thwart justice and right, and to forever block as far as he is concerned, the legal hicle Department makes an appeal to all Nebraska oMtor Vehicle op erators to take special care of their 1942 License plates, due to the fact that they will have to be used for the 1944 licensing year.

Senator Lucas objected and appealed in a whispered con versation to the Democratic lead er Senator Alben B. Barkley (Derr.) Kentucky, who hid behind the sub sterfuge, that the resolution should be referred ,so he stated, to a reg ular standing Committee for study. He seemed to overlook, the Audit as wel as the Judiciary was one such committee. Anything but ac tion .delay, dilly dallying, and fil ibuster are always the handy wea pons of Democrats in exeercising their present control over legisla tion in Congress .especially if it is proposed to guarantee fair, and decent and equal treatment to all American citizens .regardless of race, Creed' or color. ***** I DEMOCRATS ATTEMPT DECEIT The Congressional Record cf July 6, 1943, page 7341, reprints in full the Senate Resolution 171 by Senator Bridges and Senator Brooks. Below, it is the following state ment of Senator Bridges: ‘’Mr. President, the need for an investi gation, as authorized by the reso lution, is supported by many civic groups of this Country, moulding several colored organizations, such as the National Negro Council; the United Government Employees, headed by Edgar G. Brown; the Na tional Negro Publishers Association! and the We Are Americans Too Conference. The need for a fair and impartial investigation is also supported by some of the outstand ing publications of the country, such as the New York Times. It is further supported by thoughtful individuals everywhere. I person ally want the facts ascertained and want fair consideration for all. ♦ * * * * THE PRESIDING OFFICER:— What disposition is requested to be made of the resolution? Mr Bridges: Mr. President, I ask that the resolution be referred to the Committee to Audit and Con trol of the Contingent Expenses of the Senate. Mf. Barkley: Mr. President, un der the r' le the resolution should be referred to a standing commit tee before it goes to the committee to Audit and Control the Conting ent Expenses of the Senate, so as to have a report on the resolution from one of the standng commit tees. In considering the question of which committee the resolution might be assigned, let me say tl>£ t probably it would properly so to either the Committee on Education and Labor or the Committee on the Judiciary probably would be the better one to handle it. THE PRESIDING OFFICER: — The resolution will be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. AUDIT ALSO A STANDING COM MITTEE. Public Document No. 80301-v3; page 1 .entitled, “List of Commit tees of the Senate of the United States for the Seventy-Eighth Con gress, June 30, 1943, Standing Com mittees” lists the memberships of three such “Standing Committees” AgTicuture and Forestry.; Appropriations; Audit and Control the Contingent Expenses of the Senate. Senator Scott Lucas (Dem) Ilinois, chairman. Whe nSenator Bridges made his request for immediate actions, Sen ator Lucas Stood six feet awav from Senator Barkley, nodding his asquiesence in this parliamenary maneuver to forestall quick and ef fective action by the Democratic eader, just returned from a sick bed. ***** SENATOR VAN NUTS GOES HALFWAY After such persuasion Senator Frederick VanNuys (Dem.)

CARTER I do not know who advises the i President of the United States on ! the problem of color. I do not know who he is, where he comes from, what his perspective is, nor the width and breath of his men tality, nor the extent of his know ledge and experience. But whoev er he is, he is rendering a disser vice to the Negro and to his coun try if he is either incapable or un willing to face the facts written in blood in Detroit, Mobile, Beaumont, and only Heaven knows where next it shall be written. These facts are: 1. That a compromising laisSez -faire policy in respect to the Ne groes fundamental rights as citiz ens, breeds contempt for law and order. 2. That the persistence of se gregation and discrimination on the basis of race and Color in the Army, navy, marine corps and various departments of the federal government Serves to strengthen those elements of the population intent on the propaganda of Nazi Concepts of racial superiority in America. 3. That these elements are in reality in the minority but they are highly articulate and vocifer ous and must be dealt with as any other subversive elements whose actions are contrary to the war aims of the American government. 4. That the President himself must take positive action to crush these “copperheads” who create disunity, at home and embarrass ment abroad. The President is the busiest man in the world. He faces a rebellious if not a hostile Congress. From the ranks of his own party have conic his most bitter antagonists resolved at any cost to repudiate the implications and sabotage the consequences of the New Deal. The reactionary South has succeed ed in enforcing its will on nearly every project which will serve to beneft the Negro. A most glaring example of this is the regulation of the National Housing authority that federal funds cannot be used to build new housing opdh to citiz ens without regard to race. Thus Alabama and Mississippi where Senate Chaomber on July 7, 1943, following the referral of the Bridg es—Brooks Resolution 171 and ap-1 pointed Senator Pat McCarranp (Dem.) Nevada as Chairman of the sub-committee to immediately con sider hearings on the feasibility of a Complete and widespread investi gation of race riotings and war stoppages. Senator Joseph O Ma honey (Dem.) Wyoming and Senat or Homer Ferguson (Rep.) Michigan have been urged to accept places on the committee and to forego the summer vacation and get down to the business of peace and goodwill on the home front during the present recess of Congress. Senator McCurran, as Chairman .of the District Committee, has in spired confidence by his statesman ship. * REAL SHOE MAN j; || FONTENELLE SHOE REPAIR j!

The President must depend then to a large extent on trusted advis ers. If they have the perspective •>f th, ■ Bourbon South, if they are squeamish, mealy mouthed, timor ous liberals beset with fear of what might happen, apprehensive of offending that part of the South that is reactionary, rather than en courage that part that is progress ive then they are not fit to advise the President in this fateful hour. For whether they will it or not the United States is committed to destruction of the concept of rac ial superiority, and the hammer blows that it strikes against Hitler ism abroad art the measures of its danger at home. Wise advisers of the President would urge him to speak now with all the power and force of which he is capable against the forces of racial prejudice and intolerance.
