Civil Riahts Bill
v - -
Receives Support
At Salem Hearing
By Eric W. Allen. Jr.
(United Prasi Staff Correspondent)
Salem, Ore., Jan. 31 ll'Ne
eroes are "full blooded Ameri
cans," Rev. J. James Clow, of the
' Mt. Olivet Baptist church, Port
land, said last night In a hearing
before the Oregon senate judi
ciary committee on the "civil
rights" bill.
The bill, which would make It
a misdemeanor to refuse public
accommodations to a person be
cause of race, color or creed, was
discussed both pro and con at the
meeting, wnicn was attended toy
'more than 500 white and colored
people.
We want the basic rights which
every American has," Clow stated.
This bill is not exactly what we
wanted, but it is a step in the
right directon. We believe that it
would bring about better race re
lations." Bill Favored
More than 15 persons spoke In
favor of this bill. Chief arguments
opposing the measure were pre
sented by Walter Evans, Jr., rep
resenting hotel associations. His
arguments had three main points.
They were:
1. That a "law against an evil
doesn't necessarily wipe out the
evil," and it has not been dem
onstrated that this type of law has
been effective in. the 18 states
which have similar statutes.
2. It is a question of educating
the public against intolerance
rather than enforcing it by law.
3. The law would work against
the traditional policy of "selec
tive choice" upon the part of hotel
owners.
y In illustrating his last point,
Evans said that hotels are always
refusing accommodations to peo
ple of all races, colors and creeds,
not because of prejudice, but be
cause it would be bad policy to
accept undesirable guests indis
criminatorily. If the law were
passed, it would be possible to
work a racket, he said, where a
person refused an accommodation
would charge he had been dis
criminated against.
Opposes Measure
R. V. Carlson, a restaurant own
' er, said he thought that the law
would force owners to grant ac
commodations to Japanese return
ing to the coast, and spoke strong
ly against it.
Rev. Clow said that if the bill
is not passed, the colored people
would come back for it "again and
again and again."
"If we must have a law against

Cat Sets Credit
As Life Saver
Portland, Ore., Jan. 31 (IP) A
cat that staggered across the
floor trying to flee from gas
warned a Portland family of three
of their danger and was credited
today with saving their lives.
Mrs. Norman Pallay said that
her father called her from the
basement of their home yester
day, saying that he was ill. She
helped him lie down on a cot and
then went upstairs. '
She saw . the cat staggering
toward the door and suddenly
realized that she smelled gas. She
ran to her father, pulled him to
safety just in time, just as she
.was about ready to collapse. Mrs.
IPallay's mother-in-law, Mrs. B. D.
schurtz, in an upstairs bedroom
and the cat were overcome by the
gas but were revived by neigh
bors. Gas company workers discov

Of h man Gets in
Janitors in Washington, D. C.
By Frederick C. Othman
(United Preaa Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Jan. 31 Ui If con
gress has time to worry about jan
itors with manicures, then, by all
the scrub brushes on Capitol hill,
i nave, too.
You should see some of those
janitors who don't janit. One of
em wears a wig collar to work.
Another sports spats. But I better
begin. at the beginning: Kcd. John
J. Cochran of Missouri introduced
a resolution providing, among
other things, $1,560 per annum to
pay the janitor of the committee
on un-American activities.
Up jumped Ren. Albert J. Engel
of Michigan to demand, why?
what does the janitor do?"
he cried. "In looking over the leg
islative bills I found something
like 30 janitors on the payroll.
Little committees like the com
mittee on the territories have a
janitor. I do not know what the
janitors do, or why the commit
tees have to have them. Why
spend the money for janitor?"
Kep. Cochran said he did not
know what they do, either, but
that he believed they must keep
the committee rooms clean.
Some committees meet only
once or twice a year. Rep. Engel
countered, and still they have jan
itors. He said the committee on
territories sprinkled cigar ashes
on its rug only three times last
year.
This, said Rep. Cochran, was
not his fault.
"But I do blame the gentleman
because he brings out a resolu
tion here, providing for another
janitor," Rep. Engel replied.
Every other committee has a
janitor. Rep. Cochran insisted,
and this one not only has some
large rooms to sweep, but files to
keep clean. No excuse, snapped
Rep. Engel.
Rep.- Edward J. Hart of New
Jersey said he agreed with Rep.
Engel about janitors in general.
"But," he added, "if there is one
committee that I know of that
does need a janitor, it is this com
mittee." He ought to know because he Is
the chairman of this new commit
tee successor to the Dies com
mittee. He said he never did see
so many cases, cabinets and files
of documents to be kept clean.
"I have a lot of filing in my of
fice," Rep. Engel said, "and I do
not have a janitor to do it."
"I say," Hart retorted, "that if
there is any committee in this
gi ll! lll.lll.Ki lgiI!L'. jH
THE
Yeah?
on Fight Over
house for which a janitor can be
justified it is this one."
Cochran moved that the bill be
passed and it was, with nobody
much objecting, except Rep. En
gel and myself. I didn't have a
vote, but I did stroll over to the
caverns beneath the house office
buildings and there I found some
janitors. I can't quote 'em, be
cause they might get fired, but I
can report that the congressmen
have a large janitorial staff to
keep their offices clean.
The official congressional jan
itors never touch a broom to a
committee room which has its
own' private janitor, unless said
specialist slips an ordinary, gar
den variety janitor a couple of
bucks to do his work for him.
So it is that many a committee
janitor keeps his fingernails pol
ished, never sullies his hands on a
mop, and sits at a mahogany desk,
looking important. I am a fair
man and I must report that some
of these Janitors function as mes
sengers. Some do the work of
clerks.
Some don't do anything (I have
that from the best possible author
ity), but don't ever think I'm criti
cizing them. Not me. I'm applying
for a job.
17 Babies Die

employe, was the adult who died
In the fire.
Parents and other relatives who
rushed to the scene of the fire
from nearby factory areas, were
kept at a distance until the bodies
had been laid at Dillingham's fu
neral parlor. Then they filed in
where the bodies were laid out.
One of the first admitted was
Mrs. Jane Wideman, 23. Her hus
band, Arnold, is a sailor stationed
in Chicago. She'd been working in
a shoe factory since her husband
joined the service. She hadn't
heard of the fire until she reached
the factory. A white scarf covered
her dark, wavy hair.
Finds Son
Entering the funeral parlor she
paused, gasped in horror, then
proceeded down the row of tables,
her fingernails biting inlo the
arm of an attendant who accom
panied her. She pointed to the
body of her son, Arnold, Jr. The
legs and arms were scorched.
Then she was led away, without
a word.
Next came Pvt. Roland Sirois
and his wife, arm in arm. The
wife shrank from the scene mo
mentarily but Sirois plodded firm
ly down the row. Proceeding with
out a pause through the first
room, they entered a second. An
attendant drew back a bit of mus
lin that hid a tiny face.
Body Identified
"It's Carmen," the woman
cried. "It's our Carmen."
Similar scenes occurred at regu
lar intervals as the Identifications
proceeded.
Mrs. La Coste was almost hys
terical when she gave her account
of what happened.

Industry in U. S.
To Face Big Task ;
At End of War
Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 31 Ui
For at least two years after the
war, American industry will have
to emtilov virtually every avail
able worker to catch up on the
production of civilian goods. Har
vard Economist Sumner II. Slicht
er predicted today.
Slichter's optimistic postwar
arithmetic looks like this:
1. More than 600 articles, In
cluding household appliances such
as washing machines and vacuum
cleaners, and Industrial equip
ment, have been out of civilian
production for almost three years
and it is a reasonable assumption
that purchases will be double
those of 1940.
Furniture Needed
2. A high proportion of the 7,
000,000 war-married couples have
yet to buy their furniture, and this
number is likely to be increased
by a postwar marriage boom simi
lar to that of 1920.
3. These married couples will
require housing facilities. of which
there is already an 800,000-unit
shortage. t
4. Americans will have only 21,
000,000 automobiles and will want
probably 34,000,000, , while the
radio shortage will equal two
years' production at the prewar
rate.
"These are just a few of the
things that people will want and
will have plenty of money to buy,"
Slichter explained. "During the
past four years, individuals have
saved, in war bonds and other
wise, as much as they ordinarily
would in 14 years.
Not Selective
"Some, if it is true, may hold
out for the widely publicized
'dream' products, but I look for
most people to spend heavily as
soon as goods become available.
This does not mean, though, that
buyers will reach for goods at
fancy prices."
The servicemen won't have to
look for jobs, Slichter predicted.
"The chances are excellent that
plenty of jobs will be waiting for
them," he said. "The task of help
ing them to become established In
industry should not be difficult.
Many of the veterans will have
learned rw occupational skills in
the service, and will be consider
ably more valuable to employers."
