The Demos chose to stand on the record of the last 12 years, while the Republican stand was a strong one in that it contains promises to abolish the poll tax, pass anti-lynching | logislation, eliminate discrimination in the urmcd forces, and establish a permanent Fair Employment Fractice Commission. One Negro newspaper says the “1944 Democratic chnvention plank is not only disappointing to colored Democrats, it unsatisfactory to colored people. is Certain it is that the great Democratic Party which | bid openly for the colored vote in 1940 has with- drawn the glad hand in just four years.” Democrats at the convention were faced with the altetnative of further antagonizing hostile Southern Democrats or taking the chance of offending the Negro voters such as the skipping of the racial issue | brought about. The Negro vote is not of great importance in Democratic Maryland or in the District of Columbia, | but the reaction also is typical of such areas as New voters may help swing the election one way or another. ; voters may help swing tht election one way or another.

An illuminating picture of what has hoppened 'to American cities in recent decades was given at |'the recent Citizens' Conference on Postwar Planning in St. Louis by Charles Gordon, managing director of the Amelicun Transit Association. “Cities all over America,” he said “ave figuratively exploding.” Until 11880 cities spread out only about 2 miles from the | center—the distance that could be reasonably covered |on foot or by horse-drawn vehicles. Then electric street-cars made it practicable for urban population to spread out for about 5 miles in all directions. With widespread use of the automobile, the radius of urbanization was lengthened to 15 or 20 miles. So the potential area of cities increased during | 'a short period from roughly 75 square miles to 100 square miles, says Mr. Gordon, or nearly 1000 per cent. New suburbs have been built while. close-in resi- dential neighborhoods have deteriorated into slums. | Traffic congestion has often become intolerable; prop- erty values have been unstabilized; suburbs have been | burdened with ‘the expense of new schools, churches | streets, sewerage systems, and so forth, while decay-! ing central areas have been burdened with maintaining | community facilities no longer necessary for their {dwindling population. We do not see how these problems can be met without community-wide planning to reclaim the | blighted and neglected areas for improved residential, commercial or ' industrial use. Such planning must | also include ample provision for fast, convenient and safe local transportation. Many thousands of weary, jostled Washingtonians are looking forward (o the | day when city and traffic planneys will have made it possible for them to get to and from their work with- | out the wear and tear and waste of time the move- ment now entails. newed use of their automobiles for this purpose, but it is obvious that Washington will never again be able to rely as heavily on the automobile as it did in | the past. { Fortunately, the whole subject is being studied | by the highway department in cooperation with the | Public Roads Administration and the National Capital : Park and Plahning Commission. Expert transit and | highway engineers are expected to bring in a com- prehensive report this fall. ‘Their work will cover | improved transit facilities, modern highways, the qu tion of subways and all other aspects of Washington’s ' mammoth transportation problem. Presumably this will be tied in with the NCPPC's plans for further decentralization of the city.

Norman L. Wimmier, placer mining expert of the Federal Bureau of Mines, was a passenger aboard the machine, according to a wire received by Supervisor B. D. ! stewart. Enroute to Western and Interior Alaska to repair his political fences, Delegate Dan Sutherland passed through Juneau on the Admiral Evans. After Douglas had piled up a six-run lead in the first seven innings, the Juneau team came from behind and tied in the eighth and in the last inning pulled the game out of the fire, defeating the Islanders by a score of 8.to 7. The game was played the previous day on the Juneau diamond and it was the first time this season that the locals had beat the Island outfit. Miss Rosetta Femmer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Femmer, was returning to Juneau on the Northwestern. She had been spending the summer with her grandparents in the South. Mrs. Robert J. Sommers, who had been visiting several months with her parents in Minnesota, was to arrive home on the Princess Louise. Mrs. C. J. Skuse, Chairman of the Women’s Auxiliary Department of the Southeast Alaska Fair, was calling a meeting of the chairmen of the divisions to be held at the office of Z. M.
