The celebration marks the 50th aniversary of the founding of the Pan-American Union at the first international conference of Ameri- can States, the day being set aside to commemorate the bonds of friend- ship and peace which the union has fostered among the republics. Signalizing the occasion yesterday, wives of Latin American diplomats and members of the Peoples Man- date Committee participated in a broadcast in which the part that ‘women are playing in promoting peace on this continent was empha- sized. The National Broadcasting Co. carried the program, which was broadcast by short wave to the southern republics. Miss Vernon Presides.

Burke, postmaster of Washington, will sell the first United States stamp to Dr. Hector David Castro, Minister of El Salvador, chairman of the Governing Board of the | union, while Dr. Luis Fernando Guachalla and Dr. Andres Pastoriza, Ministers of Bolivia and the Domin- | ican Republic, respectively, will sell the first stamps from their country | to Roy North, deputy third Assist- | ant Postmaster General.

The program was sponsored by Los Pan Americanos and La Bienvenue Americaine, both local Pan-American clubs.

The film is expected to be shown at vari- ous places here in the next few weeks as a part of the local observ- ance of national cancer control month being noted nationally during April. Children Who Missed War Due Here Tomorrow Two children who narrowly es- caped from combat zones in two wars will arrive in Washington to- morrow on the way to rejoin the father they haven't seen for three years, the Associated Press reported. The youngsters are Ruth, 11, and Paul, 8, children of John N. Neimala, Herbster, Wis, W. P. A. worker. With the aid of a State Department loan, the children left Finland when Russia marched on that country and sailed from Bergen, Norway, shortly before Germany invaded Norway. Representative Gehrmann of Wis- consin, who helped Mr. Niemala get the loan from the State Department, planned to meet the young travelers in New York and bring them here. They will go on by train to Ash- land, Wis.,, where their father will meet them. The children were taken to Yli-li, Finland, by their father three years ago after their mother’'s death. He decided to return home but left them with Finnish relatives. He enlisted aid from Representative Gehrmann when he found he was unable to save transportation money to bring the youngsters home. New Fi }eque>n;ieisG‘iven Radio Amateurs Amateur radio operators have bden allocated frequencies in the | band 58,500 to 60,000 kilocycles for radio-telephone frequency modula- tion transmission by the Federal Communications Commission. Previously, it was explained, ama- teurs were permitted to use radio- telephone frequency modulation in all amateur bands above 112,000 kilocycles. The change, it. was Aadded, will make possible wider experimentation in this type of transmission, since equipment is quite generally available for the lower band.

Courf Tests Urged On Banning Negroes From Libraries Concerted Effort in South Advocated at Teachers’ Session - Concerted effort to obtain court tests of the practice of excluding Negroes from tax-supported libraries In certain Southern States was urged yesterday by Dr. L. D. Reddick, cur- ator of the Schomburg cellection in the New York City Public Library, in & paper presented before the final session of the fifth conference of the Association of Social Science Teach- ers in Negro- Colleges in the Foun- ders’ Library, of Howard University. Negro leaders also should seek to have any future Federal grants-in- ald to States for libraries made sub- Jject to a provision that colored per- sons must not be barred from estab- lishments built or expanded through their expenditure, Dr. Reddick said. To expect production of important work from Negro students in- the present state of research facilities made available to them “is to in- dulge in the illusion of a dream,” he added. Laek of Will for Research. In discussing the paper, Dr. Ma- son Hawkins of Morgan College, Baltimore, suggested the lack of a will to conduct research as possibly & more plausible reason for the scarcity of worthwhile contribu- tions in the field. A survey of press comment in the South indicates “‘a continuing in- tolerance in the deep South and a growing tolerance in the border States,” Dr. Rayford W. Logan, pro- fessor of history in Howard Uni- versity, told the group. He declared Negroes should seek a new United States Supreme Court decision on alleged exclusion of colored people from Democratic primaries in the South. Dr. Logan’s paper was discussed by Dr. Hugo Johnston of Virginia State College, and Dr. William Dean of Atlanta University. During the ensuing open-forum period, Dr. Logan said he considered localized instruction of would-be colored voters in regard to thejr rights when being examined by reg- istration officials the most effective means of increasing the Negro vote in the South and added it had pro- duced encouraging results to date.

Ex-Governor Testifies In Harriman Trial On Lottery Charges New Mexican Says He ‘Wasn't Too Hot About’ Hospital Benefit Plan By the Associated Press. SANTA FE, N. Mex, April 13— Former Gov. Clyde Tingley testified today he “wasn't too hot about the plan” for a proposed benefit lottery in 1938 for the Crippled Children’s Hospital at Hot Springs.

It was my understanding the lottery was just a build-up.” Mrs. Harriman and her associates in the Harriman Institute for Social Research sought to conduct a $10,- 000,000 lottery over a period of years in behalf of the Crippled Children’s Hospital at Hot Springs under au- thority of an old territorial law authorizing lotteries for charity and “benefit” purposes. 2 The State Supreme Court later ruled the proposal illegal.

Its present officers began as employees of the Company. It was the first company to pay a minimum wage, beginning in 1914, at the then astounding figure of $5 a day. That was double the pre- vailing wage of the time. The Ford minimum is now $6 a day for all employees engaged in production work. And from that, the wages rise to $10.80 a day, with the average wage $7.25, exclusive of salaried employees. The Ford Motor Company was the first large company to establish the 8-hour day—also in 1914. And " the 40-hour week was inaugurated by the Ford Motor Company in 1926, years before any such laws existed. T'he Ford Motor Company employs men without regard to race, creed or color. It is common knowledge that working conditions in the Ford shops are the best that science and constant care can make them. A square deal, a just wage and stabilized employment for a large pro- portion of our employees—and as fully stabilized for all as conditions will permit— enable our men to retain their personal independence. Xn consequence of these policies the Ford Motor Company has one of the finest bodies of employees in the world. The larger proportion are mature men of long service with the Company—sober, decent family men. Hundreds of them have been with the Company for more than 25 years— thousands for more than 15 years. Their health record, home ownership and citizenship records are gratifyingly high. : AUl this is reflected in Ford products, whether cars, trucks or tractors. The work is honestly done. The m‘aterials are the best that can be made or procured. Less profit to the Company and more value to the customer is known throughout the civilized world as “Ford’s way of doing business.” Ford Motor Company was the first to make a motor car within the means of the average family — quit- ting the manufacture of what was then the largest selling ® Henry Ford and Edsel Ford keep daily personal touch with all phases of Ford manufacture. ® In a conference with his staff, Henry Ford often says: "Go ahead —I'll sit here and represent the public® model in the world to do so. Its chosen field in all the 30 years since that time has been the average American family, for which it has consistently provided car facilities which formerly only the wealthy could buy. Xt is the policy of the Ford Motor Company to share the benefits of advanced methods and manage- ment with workers and public alike. Increased wages and employment over a period of many years have resulted in @ 300 per cent increase in the built-in value of the Ford car and a 75 per cent reduction in its price. @D rorp MOTOR COMPANY
