He is James Emmett Mciver, 36, of Seattle. His appointment was announced Wednesday by Smith Troy, state attorney general. Mciver is situated in the industrial insurance division of the labor and industries d~partment's Seattle office. He replaces Jack Youngberg, who resigned. The Howard university law school graduate served as a second lieutenant during World War II. He was all-city tennis champion in 1933 and 1934 while attending Franklin high school in Seattle. Urban League Head To Speak al .Bethel League to increase the pace of integration. He urged members of the Portland branch to plan now to attend the next convention to be held in Philadelphia next September. This attendance is needed if local members are to take a voice in the advancement of the league nationally and have a say so in its policy, said Smith. Hill Singled Out E. Shelton Hill, industrial secretary of the Portland branch, was singled out by Portland's Urban League Executive Eecretary Edwin C. Berry, for the rapid advancement he has made. He said that Hill was relatively a young man in Urban League circles to gain the recognition that he has, both locally and nationally. Hill has only been in the league five years. John H. Holley, local neighborhood secretary, mentioned that the withholding of finances by loaning companies has taken the place of restrictive convenants and that the FHA has redoubled its staff of racial advisers to cope with this problem. Federal, City Narcotic Agents Surprise Four In Raid on City Dope Store Holley said that the league was ''agreed that the matter of housing segregation was the key to health and welfare problems of the Negro." He stated that the Urban League was working hand in hand with welfare groups and found that must of them we1e integrated. Tordan Receives Life Sentence LeRoy Jordan, 38, was sentenced to life in the state prison at Salem last week for the sec- :md degree murder of Bowie Butler, 32, last June 22. The murder was the aftermath of a gambling spat between the two over a dice game.

Searcie was released from a California reformatory in July after serving 18 months for armed robbery. Procter's record showed that he was paroled from the Michigan state penitentiary in February after serving nine months of a five-year term for burglary. Searcie was booked as an exconvict in the possession of firearms after the raiders found a loaded .32 revolver in his room. Procter appeared before U. S. Commissioner Robert A. Leady Monday to reply to a complaint that he sold marijuana cigarettes in violation of the narcotics act. He is currently being held for the grand jury with bail set at $3,000. Others to Appear Negroes Wani Housing "Although many Negroes can afford housing, they find difficulty in trying to find it," continued Holley. "Community organization must move at a pace acceptable to the community," he concluded. National Urban League president Granger commented to the league gatherers that leadership was forthcoming from the Portland branch, according to Berry. Portland's Urban League president Peter Gantenbein conducted the meeting and, along with Berry, urged every member to try his or their hardest to bring in a new member before the year's end in order that they may meet the membership quota set up for this year. At present they still have 900 to go. Jordan was indicted for first degree murder and pleaded innocent. He was later called before the judge on a second degree murder account and pleadt>d guilty to the reduced charge. products.

Urban League Rolls On Portland's Urban League deserves much credit for the energetic and hard work it has done in bringing to our city a plane of integrated living that has won the recognition of the entire country. Without a doubt Portland's Urban League branch has the qualified, competent leadership that the entire city can point to with pride. Look at the honors won by our local league delegates at the national Urban League convention held in Cleveland recently. Their capable leadership won the plaudits of their fellow Urban League colleagues and put Portland on the map as being one of the most active and advanced cities in the field of race relations of any city its size in Amerca. The far-sightedness of Edwin C. Berry, E. Shelton Hill, John H. Holley and Mark A. Smith is to be commended. Here are leaders who realize the value of human rights. Men who realize that human rights exist prior to and independent of constitution and laws. The Urban League of Portland has taken the stand that human rights are natural r1ights of mankind, and rightly so. For only in the realistic, broad-minded thinking of free-minded men can we obtain the ultimate desire and true end of American democracy. The Portland branch recognizes the fact that we can't have forms of segregation existing among the populace, contradictory to the laws of the land, and expect to have a united citizenry. It is with these thoughts in mind that they have gone ahead liberally and fought to obtain and maintain a decent strata of living for segregated groups in our community, broadening their experiences here so that they may prove beneficial to the nation as a whole. Men like Peter Gantenbein, Lawson McCall and Abe Cohn, to name a few, have all been instrumental in advocating integration as the only mean~ to peaceful living among men of different color. The Urban League is doing its .job, and doing it well; membership to this organization is another step forward in cementing real American democracy. Citizens Otherwise Just about anywhere the potential voter goes today he's apt to see advertisements in one form or another reminding him to register. These little forget-me-nots may take the form of magazine articles, car cards, posters, hand bills or even editorials. Regardless of this, however, it looks as though about two-fifths of the potential voters are still going to forget. During the last November election period only slightly more than half to the potential voters registered and the situation for this November doesn't seem to be shaping up to be much better. This editorial is a little late to be enlisting registrants since the deadline for utilizing this Democratic privilege, Saturday, October 4, is nigh. Just in case, though, this editorial would like to take the opportunity to urge all those of you who haven't registered to do something about it if possible. Go right now to your local fire station or to the Court House. Too Few Votes for Locals Concerned now with voting we are appalled to learn that during the last November election period only about one third of the local voters cast a single vote for a local candidate, although voting for the national candidates. Without careful investigation it would be wrong to venture an opinion as to just what type of officeholders, national or local, are the most important to the urban individual but from here it would seem to be a draw. It is certilin that proper Democratic functioning calls for efficient administrators at both levels, and that any voter neglecting to signify his choice of local candidates is just as guilty, un-Democratic and undeserving as the individual, otherwise a citizen, who neglects to register.

Mrs. Johnson will be assistant to Mrs. J. J. Guard. During their :1ear working together Mrs. Johnson will be contacing officers of the PTA in the 14 schools whose Mrs. Johnson has had five busy years in PTA work at Boise grade school. She served that school as president in 1952. She was chairman of publicity for the Council in 1950, and last year ~he was a delegate from Boise to the PTA convention in Pendleton. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson reside at 623 N. Morris. They have two daughters, Harriett and Joan, who are in their freshman year at Jefferson high school. On the Presidential Beat Eise·nhower, Stevenson Hit Trail To Win and Maintain Supporters In his strongest statement yet, minoritywise, Eisenhower came out recently in a speech to Indianapolisites promising, if elected, to wipe out the "last vestige" of racial segregation in Washington, D. C. He also went on record in this same speech as being dedicated to the improvement of the racist condition in 17 southern states. Since then, having become embroiled in the "revenue disputes," he has not committed himself again this strongly. Of late he has been generally tight-rope walking in the South. Stronger in the East Eisenhower seems to be a good deal more popular among Negroes and Negro leaders in the East than here, receiving much more active support. One Negro editor, Marcus C. Stewart, of the Indianapolis Recorder, told Ike that Negroes would support him. "Discrimination is criminally stupid," the general says, but still he offers no solution to the problem. On the question of the filibuster he is equally undecided. Also the Republican presidential candidate remains pat in his opinion that comP.ulsory law will not break the bars. Since his California campaign tour the Negro press has extolled the praises of Stevenson, calling him, particularly on the West coast, the undoubted choice. Now back in Springfield, Adlai is preparing to go east in the wake of Eisenhower. It is conceivable that the Democratic presidential candidate might make his strongest plea for civil rights on this leg of his campaign and what is to happen should be interesting. In Los Angeles recently Adlai made a very encouraging speech. He seems to have cleared away any doubt as to his interest and willingness to advance the cause for equal rights legislation. Wants r'ghts legislation He said: 'We must, by effective legislation, insure equal opportunities for fair employment for citizens of all colors and creeds." Equally encouraging was this demonstration of insight and conviction to the Los Angeles audience: "You are not going to clean up crime and corruption until you clean up American civic and political life. And who is going to do that? You are or it isn't going to be done . . . " Heard the other day that Emery Barnes' father-in-law is planning to set him up in business ... Mark Smith pulled a boner at the recent Urban League meeting last week when he commented on the entertainment of the recent national teague conference. Smith said that he even saw "Luke Easter and his Cleveland Indians play ball." I am under the impression that it's AI Lopez and his Cleveland Indians. Or why couldn't it have been Bob Lemon and his Cleveland Indians, why the emphasis on Big Luke? (Could be because he is a Negro). Mr. and Mrs. W. G. AnJ:hony, 1524 S. E. 32nd place, are taking a trip to Denver, Kansas City, Topeka and Troy (Kansas), Omaha, Oklahoma City and St. Louis, where they will visit with friends and relatives. Cliff Banks drove down to Los Angeles to pick up his wife last week and on the way home had to lay over all day in Klamath Falls because his car blew a rod. Couldn't get car fixed in time to return home for U.P. to Chicago, so he had to put wife and daughter on S. P. Shasta Daylight and make train ride home in order to make UP trip. Notice the rash of restaurants going up now on Williams avenue? Cooking biz must be on upswing. Public school teacher took first grade class on fie'ld trip to local dairy and a little Caucasian boy chose a Negro youngster as his partner. When little Caucasoid returned home he told mother of trip and little Negroid partner, ',vhereupon his mom calls teacher and explains that "although she is not prejudiced" she doesn't want incident to happen again! Best thing for mom to do is enroll her pet in private school. Teacher concluded to mom that no matter what control they iry to take over youngsters, the kids have a way of choosing their friends in a manner regardless of skin color. H. J. Belton Hamilton calls Portland Challenger and leaves this message "I am not married to anyone and I have no intentions of getting married to the lady referr~d to (Miss Alvema Oneal)."
