U S VISITORS INSPECT (Continued From Page 1) proving their athletic capabilities, most French boys from the farm areas must work their fathers’ farm throughout the year. French officers conducing the * tour did everything they could to make the visit of U. S. newsmen enjoyable. One colonel spoke with eincere warmth when he told the group that Americans of the sec * «nd division had helped recapture his home town from the Germans in 1918. The Colonel'command ing Camp L’eser de Frileuse made a speech in French at lunch and said America and France had been brothers in two wars for freedom and would stand togeth er in the great world threat to * day. » True to custom he offered a champagne toast on the unity of the countries and one of the news men replied in kind, saying the Americas were deeply flattered and honored by their reception at th French camp. Then the French C. O. presented each American a email medal—to .be worn in re membrance of the 93rd -Regiment •of the Eighth division—the his tory of which began shortly after 1700, With all the courtesy and friendliness that is France, the officers bade us good-bye—with band and honor guard forming their functions at the gate. All saluted each of the cars of Amer-# icans a* they drove off—at rigid attention. The French even had the band play the U. S. Nationl Anthem, and also their own. The visit • touched every news man.

DUKE POWER COMPANY §a*vin&, ~th Jludmonfc GLoLna* FIRST DEFENSE BOND FLAG CITY IN N. C. Marine Sergeant James B. Nash, of Durham, returned war hero and former prisoner of the Communists in Korea, raises the first U. S. Defense Bond Flag City award in North Carolina at ceremonies held on Post Office grounds in Durham. v DISCRIMINATION in employment now under LEGAL BAN IN 11 STATES Chicago (ILNS).—Adoption of a fair employment practices law by the 1951 Colorado Legislature raises to 11 the number of states having such legislation in effect, the Civil Service Assembly says. Unlike the fair employment practices legislation in effect in a majority of the other states, how ever, the new Colorado law pro vides no enforcement powers on private employment. Similarly, the Indiana and Wisconsin laws, passed in 1945 authorized state agencies to help eliminate private employment discrimination by con ferring with workers and em ployers, but the legislature granted no enforcement powers to these state agencies. States having laws providing for commissions to administer their fair employment practices legislation as well as legal sanc tions to enforce them are Con necticut, Massachusetts, New Jer sey, New Mexico, New Yorfc, Ore gon. Rhode Island and Washing ton. New Mexico’s law has been virtually in suspension, however, because of the failure of the leg islature to appropriate" money for the enforcement agency. Fair employment practices laws backed up by sanctions have es sentially these features: Tljey piobihlt discrimination by em ployers in hiring, filing, eompeV sution or promotion; by labor un ions in membership policies or in relation* with employers or with nonunion workers; by employment ^ agencies in classifying or refer- , ring employes or in obtaining in formation from prospective em ployes. » Generally, the procedure is this: j Individuals who believe them selves victims of illegal discrimi- ( nation file a complaint with the designated state agency, which proceeds to investigate It. If the complaint is without merit, it is dismissed but if discrimination is found, the agency seeks to adjust the complaint by conciliation. In cases where satisfactory settle ment is not obtained by concilia tion, a hearing is held and if it is decided that the law has been violated the agency can order a cease and desist order—enforce able in the courts.

Greene, former pres ident of the United Hatters of North America and retired secre tary-treasurer of its successor or ganization, the United Hgtters, Cap and Millinery Workers Inter national Union, died of a heart attack at his summer home, Clear 1 water. N. J., October 20. He was 67. Funeral services at St. Joseph’s Church. Danbury, Conn., were at tended in a body by the union’s general executive board headed by President Alex Rose. At a special meeting, the board passed a reso lution commemorating Greene’s services to the organisation dur ing his 47 years of membership and leadership in the union. Greene retired two years ago in accordance with a constitution al provision of the union which requires retirement at age 65. Greene had been signally hon ored by the labor movement on many occasions. At the conven tion of the American Federation of Labor in 1917, he was elected a fraternal delegate to represent the labor movement of America at the convention of the British Trades Congress. In the summer of 1918 he was designated as a mepber of a labor mission which was sent by the American Feder ation of Labor to visit Italy and i to raise the morale of the Italian lalror by a living demonstration of the fact that the American la bor movement was behind it and stood side by side with it in the battle against German militarism. y I Uncle Sam Says The current Defense Bond Drive b i challenge to every American to : mobilise the power of thrl.t hehind the national drive lor peace, prog, rent and pros.ierity.

S MOVIE TECHNICIANS WIN WAGE RAISE HOLLYWOOD, CAL.—(ILNS) The 8 major film studios and 16 local unions of the Internation al Alliance of Theatrical and I Stage Employes have announced an agreement on wages to be paid 17,000 film technicians and crafts j men during the two years begin ning October 25. 1951. According „o Roy Brewer, Hol lywood representative of the IATSE. this will add $5,000,000 a year to the workers’ pay. It also | probably will serve as a pattern ' for contracts with independent 1 producers. The agreement provides for a 3-month wage increase of 24 cents an hour or 10-per cent, w’hichqjer is greater. No worker, however, is to receive more than $18.50 a I week raise. After three months, wages will lie pegged to* the cost of living i and will be based on the con ' sumer price index of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, but mar not be lower than the standard set for the first quarter ly period beginning Oct. 25. If i the cost of living rises 5 per cent or more, wages will go up one cent an hour for every 8-10ths of a point advanced, j The new agreement also pro ! v>des for the establishing of a health and welfare fund to be ere- , ated by the payment by these ] I studios of 5 cents an hour based | on all straight time earnings.
