Wea ver, wbo wrote the following ar ticle. is t’-e director of the Com mumt / S*'r !ces Division of the American Council. He has just re turned to his duties after a six months leave which took him to Russia as a member of an UNNRA team whose mission was to study the economic rehabilitation of the Ukraine. If I ever had any doubts that minority problems can be solved my recent trip to Russia dispelled them. The Soviet Union which was rife with anti-Semitism and national hatreds before the revolution, is today relatively free from inter group tensions. Conflicts between these groups are unknown, and the man in the street in Russia cannot understand how the Uni ted States can claim to be a de mocratic nation and still perse cute its darker citizens. To the Soviet citizen, it seems much more logical and fair to liquidate an enemy of the state than to deny a black man equal rights because of the color of his skin. The Soviet Union has solved its minority problems by legislative, economic and educative action. Expressions of nationality or ra cial chauvism are punishable by law, and I was told of the appli cation of that law. A Negro news paper man in Moscow told me that once when he was riding on a train from Moscow to Stalin grad. several Americans, who were assigned space in his compart ment. objected loudly to his pre sence. Despite the fact that these Americans were engineers, and vital to the industrial development of the Soviet Union, they were promptly removed from the train and arrested. But it is not by law alone that the job of generating appreciation for the differences in the peoples who make up Russia has been ach' ieved. Existence of full employ ment and the presence of an ela borate system of social security have removed the economic cau ses for the intergroup tensions and rivalries. Studied action to include all ethnic and nationality groups in the affairs of the na tion have put a visable stamp of official approval upon equality of opportunity. And the Communist party, which is the professional leadership of the nation, has not compromised with prejudice. Any member guilty of racial or nation ality chauvinism is summarih I dismissed from the party. More important than any of the ' measures is the use of education cvi propaganda to encourage un der standing between groups in the Soviet Union. In the schools, in ; .de unions, in the cultural ac tivities throughout the nation, care is taken to set forth what each j ethnic and nationality group has j contributed to the growth of the | Russian people and to the devel opment of mankind. Media of ; Mass education, sometimes called instruments of propaganda, have been enlisted to spread the facts and create a receptive frame of mind. Russia has shown the world that group prejudices and conflict can be modified. Its success sug gests the instruments which can achieve results. The methods of capitalism and our form of demo cracy differ from those of the So viet Union, but in Russia’s hand ling of minority problems we can find valuable methodological tools —tools which are equally applic able to our society but which will require refinement and redirec tion. ROBERT C. WEAVER Gov’t Gets $300,000 From Liquor Sale OMAHA—The State of Wyom ing was one of eight states hav ing liquor control systems which brought about 290,000 quarts of surplus medicinal whiskey, the Omaha War Assets Administra tion announced today. The govern ment received about $300,000 on the sale. The state of Iowa was one of nine states declining purchase of the whiskey, which was offered to all 17 “monoply” states. The whiskey, originally packed for export to the armed forces, was allocated by WAA regional offices to monopoly states near est the stocks on hand. Disposal of the liquor (bourbon and rye) was complicated by the expert labeling of the bottles. The bottles were labeled ‘bond’ and 86 proof' but for domestic consump tion, federal regulations require that whiskey labeled ‘bond’ must be 100 proof, which is approxi mately 50 percent alcohol. The eight states which purchased the whiskey must rebottle and rela bel the whiskey as well as pay ’the necessary taxes and affix SEE SANTA Tell Him What You Want for Xmas and VISIT T O Y L A N D See All the Wonderful Things EIGHTH FLOOR *B/uuictu6 e Army To Enlist Wounded Vets A new plan for enlisting part ially disabled wounded veterans of World War II into the Regular Army has been just announced by the War Department.

Leo Bohanon, Executive Secretary, Omaha Urban League REPORTS FROM THE NEBRASKA SAFETY PATROL Warning that highway accidents go up as the temperature goes down Captain C. J. Sanders of the Nebraska State Safety Patrol ur ged Friday that auto owners and truck fleet operators prepare now for safe winter driving. In addition to all other accidents there were nearly 1000 accidents recorded in the state during Ne braska’s mild winter last year that could be attributed to icy or snowy roads Sanders said and 13 deaths from accidents under those conditions. Drivers must recognize the add ed hazards which make safe win ter driving difficults he continued. Stop and go traction is greatly reduced on snow or ice with either new or old tire treads. Synthetic rubber tires now about equal to natural rubber for wear and for stopping on dry pavement, do not provide as good traction on snow and ice as did prewar natural rubber. Visibility is cut down by frost or snow on windshields and car windows and by the longer hours of darkness. Sanders urged vehicle owners to check brakes, tire chains, wind shield wipers defrosters headlites and even the exhaust. Some of these winter safety nec essities should be checked by even the fortunate owners of new cars BOWEN Appliance Co.

Rights Imply Responsibilities By Ruth Taylor The Bill of Rights is a favorite topic with all American speakers.. no matter what their viewpoint or their politics. It is the one surefire hit. We all BELIEVE in the prin ciples embodied in the Bill of Rights. We proclaim it as the foundation stone of our democracy We brag of its insurance of our liberties as we wave the flag. We flaunt its great phrases in the faces of our enemies. But—do we LIVE up to the id eals it embodies? Do we carry out in our national, in our com munity, in our personal life its great teachings? We emphasize the equality be fore the law for which it stands We say we oppose discrimination —that this is the abhorant idea of th so-called “master race”. But— are we free from the taint of dis crimination? How do we judge our neighbors? Bigotry and into lerance can be allowed no place in our own lives, if we would be true to our own heritage and des tiny. The people have, through the Bill of Rights, the inalienable right to the furthering by the State of equality of opportunity. But they have it not merely as a State giv en right, but as a God given one. Freedom from discrimination is a spiritual as well as a material condition for human development. This does not mean that all peo ple must have equal amounts of everything—but it does mean that they must have an equal oppor tunity to develop their talents, to do profitable and worthwhile work without being hampered by dis criminations based upon anything other than their ability and their willingness to work with their fel low-men. The only way we can defend our liberties is to see to it that the law is administered impartially and equally to all the people of the country. The pledge to our flag makes this clear. “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”. The last two words—“for all”— are the essence of the Bill of Rights—but before we brag too much about them, let us do a little soul-searching and see if we live up to them in our own lives. Rights imply responsibilities! LOCAi?miiXATtoXA5^XW^** in THE OMAHA C.C1DE Columns EVERY WEEK!
