[Louis Star-Times will be read with interest by alll sports lovers here: Undoul "1t Was not the sweet light of reason land high ¢ciple that led the American Bowling Congress to drop its bar against Negroes. A. B. C. imembers have ‘been resisting this move too long for any such lofty explanation now.. One thing and one thing alone seems to have persuaded the members to drop diserimination: the suits pending against A. B. C. in Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and New York courts. A. B. C. already has been fined $2,500 in one Illinois case’ becamse' it was ' diScriminatory. The group’s ofqdal‘s could see even bigger fines straight ahead, so they ungraciously bowed to the inevitable. Ungracious or not, though, they did bow, and that's the important thing. A. B. C.s pretense that it was strictly a private club — a silly pretense since the group practically controls all bowling — has been abandoned. Five years after Negroes openly were ad- mitted to organized baseball, they are now admitted to big-time bowling. Tennis seems scheduled to be | the next sport to crack; there's a possibility a Negro| girl will be on the courts in the women’s open cham- pionship finals. This is all to the good. Discrimination looks ugly any place that it shows. No place, though, does it looks uglier than in the fields where high sperts- manship is supposed to be the daily working creed. ! i [ Value of Probe (Anchorage News) While the investigation of the special legislative committee into the functioning of the still new Aero- nauties Act of the Territory produced a great hue and cry as various individuals sought to clear their posi- tions, the salient accomplishments of the study and recommendations may have been lost. So far as many are concerned the investigation “cleared” Stanley McCutcheon of anything extra-legal in connection with his participation as an employee of the board. We are happy that it did but the value of the report went much farther than that} Rep. Warren Taylor’s castigation of his col- league, Marcus Jensen of the committee. Mr. Taylor sed Jensen of releasing half truths, So far as we are cancerned, however, Jensen re- leased the full import of the invesigation in the first press release when he set forth the following invaluable recommendations: 1. That legislation be enacted allowing the Commission to elect its own Chairman. 2. That all contract awards be passed upon by legal talent, such as the Highway En- gineer, or the Attorney General, and one mem- ber of the Commission prior to awarding the same. 3. That the accounting methods prescrib- ed by the Civil Aeronautics Administration be set up by the Director as soon as it can be done. It is urgent that these books of account be set up by the Director and that he be furn- ished the necessary forms for such books for reports to the Civil Aeronautics Administration. These are salient points. They are a move to halt the ever-growing of passing more and more power to bureaus of the government and hence to the establish- ment of a government of experts, more and more re- moved from the people who made the laws. It is not right that in a few short months (since last July) one individual can authorize expenditures of some $193,000 no matter what the end to be gained might be. In this instance it was the speedy con- struction of aviation fields in Alaska which we all know are of vital importance. Yet the commissioner, no mater how genuine his purpose may be, was given far too much freedom with public funds in the execu- tion of the Aeroautics act. If the basic recommenda- tions made in the report are adhered to, field con- struction may be slowed down slightly but Mr Schwamm, Mr. McCutcheon, Mrs. Ryan and others never fear criticism again. 3 acc Dick Folta i Robert Larsen Jack O’Connor George Hillman Jean Walthers Zenia Erickson Mrs. M.
