NEWS REVIEW South Threatens Split; Seif Rationing Proposed President Truman, who seems to 10 point programs, tossed another one to congress concerning the preservation and protection of civil rights and then stood aside to await the explosion. It came quickly Southern Democrats, hopping mad over atleast four of the 10 controversy points, began to talk seriously "of calling a Dixie convention io'split away from Mr Trumajion the civil rights issue. Foctis of the current disunity was ,x'diI1, up for approval by the senate laborcommittee, to create a national commission against job discrimination on grounds of race, creed or color. Sen Allen J. Ellender (Dem , La ) predicted that if the bill were approved m its present form the party would erupt into open warfare. Both foes and backers of the measure agreed that it would be a close thing. The four proposals that most Inflamed the southerners were the ones calling for (1) a federal law, (2) a permanent fair employment practice commission, (3) an end to Jim Crow rules In transportation and (4) outlawing of state poll taxes. Remainder of the points advocated by the President were- A permanent commission on civil rights, a joint congressional committee on civil rights, a civil rights division In the Justice department; tightening of civil rights statutes; home rule for the District of Columbia, statehood for Alaska and Hawaii; equalization of naturalization opportunities, and settlement of evacuation claims of Japanese-Ameriean- s. Because 1948 Is an election year, and a presidential election year at that, the program, which otherwise might be ignored, was certain to get hot partisan debate. In answer to Mr. Trumans firm statement that "something must be done" about the civil rights issue, southern Democrats replied that they were thinking of calling an convention to pick its own presidential candidate.

The mayors fourth activity the one of which he secretly Is most proud Is his famed Junior club, first of its kind in the country. Humphrey and Police Chief Frank Starkey formed the club after youngsters caused $500 damage to municipal property during Halloween night festivities in 1944 Club members cooperate actively with police; they report parking violations, speeders, red light crashers; they unmasked a peeping tom always one look ahead of police, and they aided in detecting a gang of vandals who were breaking into the local high school Since the club was organized, Hallowten .damage has dropped to less than $25.

Major emphasis, It was understood, would be placed on meat as the pivotal Item in the cost of living merry however, ether foods also would be covered in the voluntary program. Based on of the specific recommendations food industry and public representatives, it is theoretically designed to meet the twin problem of scarce food supplies and high prices. Biggest talking point the administration had In its attempts to solicit public support was the department of agriculture's somber prediction that the nation Is heading for a serious meat shortage m the spring And by way of emphasis Brannan added that mgat rationing by price already is In effect because many people cannot afford to buy. FOR SALE: Some Eggs U. S. government has hung out a "for sale" sign on 46 8 million dozen eggs that it bought last spring to support domestic prices. There Is one stipulation, however. Only foreign- users will bo- allowed to buy them. For the comfort of U. S housewives the agriculture department was swift to point out that these eggs are not the kind that can be used readily for home consumption. They were shelled, dumped into huge containers and frozen before the government bought them in the first place. Agriculture department decided to sell the eggs to foreign buyers when It was unable to sell them to bakers and confectioners in this country because egg production has been going up and egg prices down. - 1 I MOST MODERN AND BEST EQllPPEo cement block plant, south ol Silt Luka located In heart of Ouh f. stesi-g- i owing community.
