America Losing Labor Discr "America Is losing billions Of dollars by discrimination against minority groups in the labor M. Leo Bohftnon, executive director of the Urban League of St. Louis, told an audience of 300, one of the largest in recent years, at the 30th ennuaf Lincoln-Douglas banquet last night in Central School. Those discriminated against, explained the speaker, thus are k6pt at a low economical level which makes it impossible for them to live in good homes or purchase many of the tremendous number of items produced In this country, and so a gfpfit financial loss results to both manufacturers and retailers. Not Black or White Mr.

Bohanon also pointed out that America is not all black or all white, but is, instead, many shades of gray. "There are good people in the South," he stated, "who would treat all mankind as brothers, just as there are bad people in the North who would not." The St. Louisan, an experienced social worker who formerly was on the staff of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration as principal welfare officer, said we have lost many friends abroad because Europeans insist on over-emphasizing the treatment some minority groups occasionally receive in this country. Modern Art Discussed In addition to the main nd- dress Wednesday, Erskine Ryan, instructor of art in the Alton Public School. System, gave an informative talk on the history of modern art, telling his listeners how to see what modern art is showing.

He had several easels on stage to demonstate his speech, and he also drew an original for the banquet crowd. Another highlight of the event was a satire on spring hats, given by nine women modeling "original chapeaus," with narration by Mrs. Grace Favors.
