APRIL 5. 1S44 DAILY HERALD South May Abandon Primary System To Avoid Threat of Negro Voting n-w joirv cutter United Press Staff Corerspondent WASHINGTON, April 5 UR The supreme court ruling that negroes may vote in state primary elections raised the possibility today to-day that some southern states may abandon the primary system and return to the convention method meth-od of selecting political candidates. The prospect of such action was seen by at least two southern senators, one of whom declared flatly that any negro attempting to attend a Democratic convention conven-tion in the south "will be thrown out by the seat of his pants." Sen. John H. Overton, D., La., mentioned the possibility of abandoning aban-doning primaries and predicted at the same time that southern re-J action to the court ruling would be adverse to a fourth term for President Roosevelt. "The south at all costs will maintain the rule of white supremacy," su-premacy," Overton said. "The negro can be kept from the polls by educational qualification tests. This decision will add greatly to the difficulties of advocates of a fourth term in securing the support sup-port of the south." Southerners generally denounced denounc-ed the decision, in what the high court ruled that when primaries become part of the machinery for choosing state or national officials, a negro has a constitutional right to vote. The case arose in Texas where, as in other southern states, the Democratic primary usually decides de-cides the winner of the general election. Southerners in congress predicted predict-ed their states would find some other way, such as conventions or educational tests, to prevent negroes from participating in their primaries. "I have an abiding faith that the negroes aren't going to vote In the white man's Democratic nrimarv." said Ren. Nat Patton.

Utah Employment Compensation Fund $22,000,000 SALT LAKE CITY, April 5 (UJ?) Utah's unemployment compensation compen-sation fund will reach $22,000,000 by the end of this year and will be strong enough by the end of the war to cushion effects of any employment slump, Ray R. Adams, executive director of the state employment security department, said today in a report to the state industrial commission. He said the funds could be paid to returning servicemen and women wo-men if jobs are not available immediately im-mediately after the war. "Unemployment compensation," Adams added, "is looked upon as one of our chief bulwarks against a deflationary trend in the immediate im-mediate post war months. Unemployment Unem-ployment compensation offers a definite reservoir of purchasing power upon which industry may depend confidently during reconversion recon-version to peactime production. PUBLISHER SLAIN DURING STRIKE MEXICO CITY.

An Amphibian coyote that found the hunting good among the sheep on Fremont island In Great Salt Lake today had been killed after being forced into the same briny waters that previously had helped help-ed him escape his hunters. After numerous prior attempts to run down the coyote had failed, 20 hunters and a pack of blood hounds started across the island in search of him yesterday. He finally was spotted and was sent scurrying for the water. There the hunters overtook him in a motor boat as he paddled furiously furious-ly away from the island. Hunters believe the coyote originally or-iginally got to the island the same way he was trying to leave it. the head and killed by an editorial editor-ial employe yesterday apparently as an aftermath of a strike that had kept the newspaper shut down fo-- weeks. Sfillwell's Army Keeps Advancing WITH ALLIED FORCES IN NORTHERN BURMA. April S 0IE) American and Chinese forces forc-es under Lt. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, advancing steadily down the Mogaung valley despite heavy rains preceding the monsoon season, seas-on, were nearly a mile beyond La ban village today and less than 90 miles from the northern Burma Bur-ma key city of Myitkyina. In the close jungle fighting in the four-mile Shaduzup-Laban area during the past week, the Chinese-American forces were credited in official estimates with killing more than 500 Japanese. The enemy troops were caught in a trap when the Chinese 22nd division attacked frontally while American infantry with units of the Chinese 38th division worked from behind and cut the valley's only motor road. Little Steel Formula Scored WASHINGTON, April 5 UP The American Federation of Labor Lab-or charged today that the Little Steel formula has become an "economic "ec-onomic thumbscrew to torment the working people" and called for a "realistic modification" to permit per-mit greater wartime wage increases. in-creases. The plea was made by AFL Secretary-Treasurer George Meany before a special War Labor Board panel hearing labor arguments for liberalization of the wage stabli-zation stabli-zation formula. The AFL, Meany said, is not out to destroy the stabilization program it "seeks only to recover re-cover the losses in the prewar standard of living which the workers work-ers of this nation have suffered as result of the little steel formula."

The first changes In new cars might be "miracles" or moderate. Regardless, no new engines will be free from corrosive acids, always "planted" inside by every engine's explosions just as in your present car. The more it stands unused, the greater the risk from trapped acid. This stepped-up stepped-up risk arrived with rationing. Yet even before, when steadier heat in unrationed driving ousted acids partly, the prudent motorist still took advantage, ad-vantage, of all the extra acid-resistance made possible by having his engine oil-plated. This big advancement a safely oil-plated engine can be "standard equipment" in your own car right today, at the mere price of a Spring oil change. Out with unfit Winter oil! Then change to Conoco N' motor oil to have your engine automatically auto-matically oil-plated. The highly advanced syn thetic in Conoco oil patented seems like "magnetism" in causing inner engine surfaces to attract and hold a layer of oil-plating a corrosion-resisting shield between acids trapped inside and every surface that's oil-plated.
