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#.

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.

On the occasion of the militant

is was Senator Lucas, who joined
with Senator Richard Russell (Dem

with the machinist and metal trad

When Senator Styles Bridges (Rep)1
New Hampshire and Senator C.

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

far as he is concerned, the legal

to all Nebraska oMtor Vehicle op

The 1942 license plates will be

Senator Bridges Urged that the

be referred ,so he stated, to a reg

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.

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
