LOS ANGELES? (AND) ?"I
found for the few extremely biased
states like Mississippi and
Hon to pv?r changing." .^declared
Robert Johnson, grand exalted rule*
of the 1 B.P.O.K.. last week in
a press conference.
Reporters from the daily and
weekly papers fired many questions
at the tall-dignified leader,
and heard many interesting answers
and comments from him.
Said Johnson, among other statements:
'
"There seems to he sort of a
misfsurrounding hoth races keep
my, tnriii pu/./.n*n just wiiut T<>
do and how to go about an early
solution of this difficult question
of integration. But it u'iH jwork',
and I found very encouraging
signs in the south during: the more
than 82,00(") miles I have traveled
during the past year."
Johnson, however, declared that
some of our own race in the south
were helping block integration for
the selfish reason that they wanted
to continue employment in the
separate school systems,
"I was pleasantly surprised,
while in Atlanta, C.a.," Johnson
said, "when having been invited to
the office of Gov. TaJniadge, he
and the lieutenant governor cordially
shook hands with me and we
chatted pleasantly for some time.
Tncidentnlly_he declared that he
had refused to meet delegations
from several other organizations,
stating that he would only meet
the head of the colored Elks."

RE!\ DIGGS SUBMITS 2 BILLS
WASHINGTON ? (ANP)?Con
grcssman Charles C. Diggs, Jr. (D
Mich.) last- week introduced ii
Congress two bills, one was 'aimec
at amending and revising the pr<
sent immigration and naturaliza
tion law, and the "other called fo
the amendment of the Fair Labo
Standards Act of 1938 so as to ii
crease the minimum hourly wagi
from 75 cents to $1.25.
In introducing these bills, thi
Michigan representative said hi
objected to the present immigra
-Uon imt naturalization law be
cause it is in complete contradict
ion to the Americn concepts.
The Present law sets annnalJm
sed upon national origin for im
migration to this country. It, then
fore, "discriminates against cer
tain peoples because of nationa
origin, color, and religion."
Diggs' bill would eliminate th<
national origins quota system am
establish instead a basic policy o1
accepting persons without regard
to race, color, national origin, o
religion.
Preference 'groups, he said
would be established by family un
fication, occupational preference
and national interest preference
with a minimum and maximum pei
rentage set equally for all coun
tries.
Diggs' second bill called for t
minimum wage of $1.25 per houi
in order1 to keep the individua
workers' income in line with th<
economic growth of our nation.
An?increased income, he said
'^vould assist those workers in
areas wrjere recognition nan heer
giVen to increasing costs. Such ar
increase in these areas would have
in creased spending, its beneficial
effect updn the Nation's^ total economy."
"In our program of fostering ec
onomic security" emphasizeed
Diggs, "we must give our attention
to domestic affairs."
