Alaska Union Members
Too Mixed Ethnologically
To Be Classed Racially
WASHINGTON tf)—An Alaskan
: local of t’nc Carpenters’ Union re
ports that since “We are not an
thropologists” it finds its mem
bership too technically mixed to
give a racial breakdown.
Pete Lennen, financial secretary
of Local 1281 of Anchorage, in
replying to a government ques
tionaire said “We are unable to
completely fill out the form on an
honest basis, as we are not anthro
pologists and we do not know
when a member becomes or ceases
to be a negro, an Indian, an
I Oriental, a member of a minority
group or any of the other desig
nations in the form.
“For example, the treasurer of
this local union, to the best of his
knowledge is part negro, part In
dian, part Jewish, part Irish and
has perhaps a little Swedish blood.
Another of our officers is roughly
in the same category. We do not
desire to dissect the poor devils
and put part of them in each one
of these columns.”
A Cuban member, Lennen said,
“Speaks Spanish, looks like a
Norwegian and drinks like an
Irishman.”
The questionnaire was sent by
the President's Commitee on Equal
Employment Opportunity. As part
of its antidiscrimination campaign,
the committee sent the question
naire to labor unions throughout
the nation asking the number of
American Indians, negroes, Orien
tals, Puerto Ricans and Spanish
Americans enrolled.

JUNEAU UP> — District Magis

the parents of the boys who ad
mitted tampering with the controls
of the ferry Taku Saturday night.
Crosby said the San Diego couple
against whom a total of $1,000 in

bridge is raised. He said that un
derwriters’ representatives, the
original builders and Division of
Marine Transportation personnel
have gone to Petersburg, but it
will be two or three days until
equipment can be moved from Ju
neau to put the bridge up on a
barge to determine how much act
uad damage has been done.
Downing added that how long
the Petersburg facility will be out
ot operation is “anybody’s guess”
at this time.

ON VACATION
The labor force has
increased 5 million
strong in the last
10 years. Now,
during vacation time,
the 66 million men
in denim are
choosing the right
vacation spot. The
call has been to
fishing for the men
and camping for
families. Right now,
there are three times as many
fishing enthusiasts as there
were 1 0 years ago. And for
every one camper of 1950
today there are six. State
parks have doubled their area to
accommodate the 101 million
Americans who flock
Lto their facilities.
The denim man and
his denim clad family
continue to head for
; the out-of-doors. But
vacation time can be where the/ A-/ i
home is, too. Many denim
men and their families
spend vacation time in their
own backyards—10 ^
million new ones
since 1953. They
garden, paint,
repair, relax—tc.*e
daily trips in the
local area. Twenty
million of them go
picknicking. Two
^ million more just get
up and take a hike.
