In the incipience of my assoc iation with this paper I said "The Portland Inquirer" was and would be the "Voice of the Peo p le" and I further stated "that we reserve the right tb criticize and condemn things which, in our opinion, are detrimental to our best interest and will retard our growth and handicap poster ity". "I stated further that "W e Would Be A Watchman" on the lookout. W e most vehemently condemn the attitude of the management of Lipman W olf and Co. and criticise their stand in the mat ter. reach us by the wishful thought that most of the Negroes will go back home, leaving the city untouched by racial problems." It is the custom of Union or ganisations to "picket ' places that are not in harmony with, or observant to, their rules and regulations.

The article stated further "Chief barrier to harmonious re lations, apart from already ex isting prejudice, is the fact that with the exception of a few committees now functioning in Portland, there exists no city sponsored citizens group created to study the vital aspect of Negro life in the community.

U -N eeK CLEANING & PRESSING SHOPPE G A . 8850 OPPOSITION TO CIVIC CENTER NOT CONSTRUCTIVE (Continued from page 1) Center amendment passes and are calling the whole project a “booby trap.” Since the city doesn’t own, “doesn’t want to own and will do everything to keep from own ing the public market building,” according to Commissioner Wil liam A. Bowes, that particular structure can hardly be pointed to as a sample of civic planning, the Postwar Development com mittee comments. It also adds that the public market building, put up by private interests, is an example of the faults of build ing without* a plan. That is why the committee feels the Center plan is a good one and neces- sary to the city. This small opposing group ad vertises that somebody is some how going to make a lot of mon ey on the plan, that it is all a gigantic, vicious scheme to hoax the public. The Postwar Development com mittee answers this charge by civic leaders, representatives of listing its members, who include churches, labor organizations, women’s clubs, civic betterment groups, heads of veterans’ organ izations and all Portland’s public officials.
