A dd p I H t TRUMAN PROCLAIMS HIS ar1ne war e urp e ear SOLID SOUTH ALLEGIANCE NEW YORK-The tragedy of a man or woman earning scarcely enough to keep soul and body together being required to pay income tax in order to sustain the mountainous New Deal bureaucracy will be wiped out with the election of Governor Thomas E. Dewey as President of the United States. The Republican Presidential nominee last Tuesday, in a radio address heard from Coast to Coast over the Mutual network, in announcing the tax policy the new administration will adopt, bitterly assailed taxes "which eat into tlie income of ·those who are already below a decent American standard of living." The Governor proposes the establishment of a consistent natioij.al tax policy, directed toward achieving full employment and a rising national income which will assure our solvency and ultimate reduction of the national debt. 1 DURING HIS DIXIE VISIT NEW ORLEANS-While north- Common Sense Magazine for Octoern Democratic press agents are ber.

Truman in a statement here declared that "the Solid South could not go for a fellow like Dewey." A daily press correspondent adds that Truman found himself "in agreement with three South~tn Senators: John H. Overton of Lowsiana, Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi and John McClellan of Arkansas." His statement, the reporter continues, "was echoed" by these Senators. Truman, himself, has left no one in doubt at any time concerning his strong race-bias convictions. Sen. Bankhead and Gov.

Dewey came to this southern state tonight to bea1·d the lion of colorphobia in his den and to expose the hypocrisy of his opponent on that issue. He was given one of the greatest ovations of the campaign before and after addressing an overflow throng at the Municipal Auditorium, where he was wildly applauded when he spoke in part as follows: "Beyond victory, what kind of a country will our American men and women come home to ? This election will decide that question. We have a fateful decision to make but that decision must be made, not on vague and irresponsible discussion, but on the facts. On Thursday night of this week my opponent repeated his charge that 'There are politicians and others who quite openly worked to restrict the use ·of the ballot in this election.'

The Savoy WE WELCOME YOU TO OUR BAR New and Modern 313 S. Main Street, Vancouver, Washington SOCIETY When one is driving around on a Saturday night, they never know what they might run into. These people thought they might take in the dance that is usually held every Saturday night at the Recreation Hall at Bagley Downs in Vancouver, Wash., but instead they ran into a private birthday party. Mis. Fredrick Dunn entertaining her husband, Fredrick Dunn who was celebrating his birthday. They were gathered around a piano, Mr. Dunn playing and the guests singing old familiar songs. When their voices needed a little resting, then they exercised their feet with a little dancing. They had a long table in the center of the room covered with a beautiful tablecolth and napkins, but we had to leave before the refreshments were served. In fact we were uninvited guests who just walked in thinking we were in tfle dance room. Among the guests invited were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Johnson, Mrl and Mrs. Brewer, Mr. and Mrs. Comfort, Mr. and M'l'B. Stevenson, Mrs. Melissa Jones, Mr. B. T. White and Eddie Kruss. Mr. and Mrs. Dunn live at 1304 A 'Whipple St., Bagley Downs. Mr. Dunn is a welder on the day shift in the Vancouver Shipyard. We are very pleased to hear that Hr. Peck, husband of Mrs. Letha DO IN'S Peck, is much improved and able to be home from the hospital. He expects to return to work soon. Mrs. Lula Herbert was given a surprise party last week by her Daughter Elks. She was presented with a beautiful set of dishes as a gift from the Temple. The party was given at the home of Mrs.l J obn Evans. There were twelve guests, all Daughter Elks. The ) evening was spent in playing cards after which a delicious repast was served. Everyone had a grand time. Mrs. Henrietta Marshall who ~s been ill is improving nicely now. Her Daughter Elks and many friends wish her a speedy recovery. Mrs. Lula Harris of 4056 N. Williams Ave., was host at a lovely luncheon on last Tuesday. Her honored guest was Mrs. Lewis, mother of Mrs, Hepburn. Her other guests were Mrs. Hepburn, Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. A. L. Randolph.

Reiterates Stand on Union Racism E m p 1 o y m e n t discrimination against minority group workers is a national and not a minority group problem, Malcolm Ross, Chairman of the ' President's Committee on Fair Employment Practice, to!d the Metropolitan Detroit Council on Fair Employment Practice in Detroit, Sunday, Oct. 8. In facing this problem, Mr. Ross said, a common ground must be found within industry itself on which the workers of many races and origins must take their stand. Otherwise, he stated, racism may disrupt the collective bargaining machinery of which both employers and workers must depend for the peaceful solution of their problems. Discussing the problems of illscrimination in terms of the Negro phase "because Negroes are easily identified and so are both actually and symbolically typical of this minority problem which all racial and religious groups encounter in this or any other country," the FEPC Chairman declared: The United Nations Relief and along fine so far and all the boys Rehabilitation Administration this functioning nicely.
