Women Hear
Berry Talk'on
By JAMES BURR MILLER
! Staff Writer. The Stateamaa .
Tbere are no superiors only
superior opportunities," Edwin C.
Berry, executive secretary of the
Urban League of Portland told
about 85 members of Beta Sigma
Phi women's society at their Wed
nesday night meeting.
In a two-hour address, Berry at
tacked many concepts of every
day living 'which he asserted are
damaging to the prospect that "all
men are created equal.
Saying that present means of
communication have shortened dis
tances between foreign countries.
Berry emphasized that our racial
problems are quickly picked up by
foreign countries and oftimes
turned into tools of vicious propa
ganda, "though enemies of Ameri
canism oftimes need very little
improvement on propaganda print
ed, spoken or otherwise publicized
here," he pointed out.
Cit -Jim Crow
Berry defended his assertion by
enumerating various incidents of
"Jim Crow" in the southern states:
race riots throughout the United
States: discrimination; bias and
other modes' of racial misinforma
tion and misunderstanding. The
speaker enumerated the dangers
of prejudicial comments, attitudes
or jokes in the home; the develop
ment of stereotypes of race or re
ligion which, he explained, were
not true; the fallacious implica
tions of many children's text books
in the schools "in which the
white man is always portrayed a'
superior; where Negroes always
become servants, ! comedians or
villains and where far upper
middle class living is portrayed
as the average."
The type of prejudicial material
found on the movie screen, radio,
t fe17i ciayi Tif in itAtrcn'iruira wae
said by Berry to constantly feed
the fire of a growing, misinformed,
confused populace." He likened the
outlook of Americanism vs reali
ty as a type of split personality
wherein "children are taught that
there is equality and justice for all,
but in reality just the opposite is
practiced."
Read Text Bosks
In response to questions, Berry
suggested that parents and edu
cators take a more active interest
in seeing that children's text books
are fair in their portrayals. He said
present study in this field has "on
ly started and most present-day
improvement is found in upper
high school grades, not in the low
er ones." He answered one wom
an's question by pointing out that
intermarriage ' has been existant
for hundreds of years and t'worked
out tery nicely with no complica
tions to anyone. There are no pure
races, though a goodly number of
people in the United States still
cling to the notion of a master race
here."

six acre' tract and an old ice
house to the town of Jackson.

tached" in 1937 in the hope of
economic E gain" from a fish

Increasing demands for forest
tree seedlings together with seri
ous losses through symphillid in
festation, has resulted in a 'seri
ous shortage of numerous species
of seedlings at the Oregon forest
nursery, the State Forestry De
partment reported Wednesday,
These trees include Douglas
Fir, all species of the true! firs,
Scotch' Pine and Chinese Em;
Trees still available are limited
to the Port Orford Cedar, jPon-
derosa Pine, Chinese Arborvitae,
Black Locust, Russian Olive,
Lodgepole Pine, CaraganaJ Cas-
cara and Russian Mulberryj
Officials said symphillid j dam
age to the nursery has been j
regular occurrence in varying de
grees for many years. M j
Control experiments haves been
carried on for j number ofiyears
but nothing exclusive has; been
developed. One thing that makes
control difficult, officials said, is
the fact that the insect appears
to follow the water table and
coes deep into the soil in the
summe. and then, comes back
near the surface during wet peri
ods, j ;
Research in hope of combatting
the pest wiU continue, forestry
department officials said.

camping i ground for Boy Scouts.
He said I he couldn t agree with
Morse "on a penny - ante matter
like this!'; that the town should
have to pay anything for the ice
house. Sen. Gore (D Tenn) said
Morse was .trying to drive a "hard
bargain.
But Morse insisted a "very fund
amental! principle" was at stake.
He said! all the taxpayers in the
nation pad a stake in the ice
house, tjhich the federal govern
