on anything “except base stealing
or something like that,” but that
he appeared out of a sense of re
sponsibility. He said there has
been “a terrific lot of misunder
standing" about communist influ
ence among Negroes “and it’s
bound to hurt my peoples’ cause
unless it’s cleared up.”
Robinson said any Negro ‘worth
his salt’ is going to resent ‘any
kind of slurs and discrimination’
because of his race.
“This has got absolutely noth
ing to do with what communists
may or may not be trying to do,"
he declared.
In case of war, Robinson said,
Negroes would “do their best to
help their country win the war,”
the same as ‘‘Italians and Irish
and Jews and Swedes and Slavs
and other Americans.”
“No one has ever questioned my
race's loyalty except a few people
who don’t amount to very much,”
he said.

Dedicate Medical
Missionary Ship
SEATTLE, (/P>—A medical mis
sionary ship dedicated, along with
its crew of 18, to the needs of
Alaska natives, wherever and
whenever they are found, will
leave Seatle July 24 on its initial
voyage.
The Willis Shank carries the
name and pursues the service be
gun by a missionary killed in a
plane crash two years ago on An
nette Island while en route to his
first Alaska assignment. It has
been a year and a half in con
struction and outfitting, with per
sons of all faiths donating time
and money to the cause.
First port of call on the itiner
ary of Capt. C. F. Stubbert is the
Crang and Klawock areas, South
east Alaska. That, in fact, is the
only real itinerary; from that on
it will be a case of going where
medical, spirtual and educational
needs seem greatest. Dr. L. B. Mc
Clenny, physician and surgeon,
his wife, a teacher, and others fit
ted to their chosen tasks, form
the crew. They will cooperate
with government agencies and
other groups in seeking and min
istering to the needs of natives.
The project is known as Marine
Medical Mission. The Willis Shank
is the 136-foot converted YM-337,
fitted with eight hospital wards
and surgery.
Mr. and Mrs. George Bayer re
turned Sunday by P.A.A. from a
vacation trip to the States which
took them to California and the
east coast. Mr. Bayer is deputy
marshall in the Nome office.

Taft-Hartley Act
WASHINGTON, </P) — Speaker

mittee.

the committee in an effort to get
action, Rayburn said that there
was fire already and it was “just
a little hot now to talk about
building a fire.
Rayburn and other Congression
al leaders were at the White
House for their usual Monday con
ference with the President.
