Shaw detained MLss Shaw for Alarms Transit Committee The fate of 880 bus drivers, who may be out of Jobs, If the sale of city owned bus lines to private operators Is made, is causing grave concern among transportation employees. James C. Harper, president and spokesman of the Harlem Transit Committee, expressed the sentiments of the H.T.C, which comprises a substantial portion of the employees in various departments of city wide transportation subways, busses and clerical personnel.

Mr. Harper said: "We of the H.T.C feel that the future of all people working in city wide transportation will be affected by what happens to these men and the manner In which it happen. Security Endangered Mr. Harper expressed the H.T.C position by saying: "If the hard fought advances which the people of transportation have made, are wiped out by the simple matter of riling a part of the city's transportation property, then it becomes very important for all of those who work, to keep a watchful eye on any maneuver that may endanger our economic security." The Harlem Transit Committee, with headquarters at 348 Convent was founded in the early days of the Independent System, when few Negros were doing anything but Jobs In the lowest classifications. The H.T.C.

aided In cement'ng better race relations between the new Negro motormen and conductors upgraded from lower Jobs, and the men with whom they had to work daily. Now the members of the H.T.C are In every Transit Deoartment throughout the citv.

Demand Veto (Continued from Page S) both the House and the Senate, and Is now on President Truman's desk for his veto or signature. Query Ilarlemites Queried on the effect the pass age of the McCarran Walter Bill has had upon them, several Har lemites had this to say: Hilda Haynes, 173 W.

151st St: "It Is a very bad bill. In reality, it is a disguised move to stop people of color from coming into the United States. They have a feeling that the West Indians are an aggressive people, and they want to do everything In their power to stop this. It goes deeper ever than we know. McCarran.

of course, would do anything to cut down this black invasion. I only hope President Truman will veto the bill, and that all of us will get together and fight against it" Crump Assails Assemblyman Elijah Crump, 131 W. 135th St: "Wholly unjustified. that's what it Is. If the bill was interpreted to restrict other na tionalities on the same grounds, it would be alright As it is now, it is discriminatory.

Colored people of the world have contributed much to the deevlopment of this country. a It's not democratic, nor in keeping with our plan to foster friendship throughout the civilized world. The bill holds the United States up to ridicule, and will work detriment to the policies laid down by the State Department," Dr. Thomas Amos, 149 W. 119th St: "A quota directed upon any group of people should be based on our ability to provide housing, em ploymcnt and the like, and our ability to cope with the economic problems which it presents.

There should be a standard quota (or every country, but with an exception the case in the case of orientals, who nave a desire to work for lower wages, and would therefore upset our economy." Slap in Face' Freddie Barts, 476 W. 165th St: 'You know how I feel about it. It's just another slap in the face of the much beaten and downtrodden people of the islands." C. Lisley Johns, 35 W. 116th St: As one who associated with the group which fought the Judd Bill, I must reserve decision.

But as a native of St Vincent, B. W. whose quota heretofore has been only 8 or 10 persons per year, I say the bill is good. The colonies which were allowed only a small quota under the old laws will at least be placed on the same footing with larger colonies. Frankly the bill is not aa bad as I thought" 'All out' Effort Mrs Alma Vessels Johns, 35 W.

116th "I feel that not only West Indians, but non West Indians alike, should exert every effort to see that President Truman doe not okay this bill. West Indians have made a tremendous contribution to the United States, and to discriminate against them would be woiking against the country as a whole." Adrian DeCosta, 146 W. 111th St: "Bad move. Certainly won't bolster the United States in world opinion. The bill not only strikes out at West Indiana, but all occidentals; and at a time when we need every friend we can get" Attorney James H.

Johnson, 270 Park "My impression is that it discriminates against people of the Islands. We should let the West Indiana enter on the same conditions as other peoples of the world." Legal Numbers (Continued from Page 2) passage of such a bill would be a hasardouo thing." The operator of Underwood Studios at 2304 Seventh Ave Jacob N. Underwood, also sided with the ministers, stating that legalized gambling "would be a menace to the community, and would lower the standards of the city." Robert Anderson, a laborer of 83 128th favored regulated gambling. He argued that "everybody would benefit the smaM and the big gamblers, and of course, the city government, which needs the money badly." Mary Twitty, a model, who Uvea at 2190 Madison strongly favored such a proposal. She remarked: "The city and the Federal government ought to atop being hypocritical, and legalize all gambling activities.

They will never break up gambling anyhow, so why not gain the revenue to be derived from Favors Control John Harris, who refused to divulge his address, said: "Look, I used to play havily on the numbers every day until a writer re neged on a bet that I made with him last year. Now, you don't know who to trit. Sure, the government should step in and toke over, then a man will be sure of collecting when he wins a number" Dave Evana declared: "I guess so The players would get paid when they are lucky enough to win. There are many people who depend on the numbers. Some get small salaries and play the single action with a hope and prayer to make life a little more worth living Andrew J.

Hall also agreed. He said: Well yes. The state and city will get tax money which they could use to make living conditions better The city could build more schools and get more teach I era. Both are badly needed." The YOUNGER Set Bg Peggy Gray' The "Girl Friends" 25th anniversary ball was a grand occasion for 17 year old Phyllis "Murphy who "came out." Lee Bostic, Joe Bostic.
