never before received a Zionist

former group, numbering about TO-
900, claim that their ancestors
came to India Immediately after

the 10000 Bene Israel, who are
believed to be descendants of Hin

dialects, are devoutly obserrant of

Champaign, ILL.,, Feb. 25 (UP)-
Negroes are are an asset to the cul-

interrafial comUittee of Champaign

OF investigation into their racial
genius.
IN his folk songs the Negro has
contributed the only distinctly Amer
lean music" the report stated. The
spirit of devotion, of aspiration. of
simple trust which bretahes through
the Negro spirituals is the spirit of
a race naturally religious, Swing

sion OF music loving race.
Among the Negroes who have
given the world productions of high
order are Harry Burleigh, Nath lial

The English government bestowed
upon Taylor a pension in apprecia-
ton OF his work.

race has found recognition in the
works of Z. n. Bannister, William
L. Scott, Edmonia Lewis, and of the

most conspicuous success has been
won by Henry O. Tanner, several of
whose pictures have been bought by
the French government and placed
in the Luxembourg gallery.

invention the Negro has won and
Is still winning large honors.
"A Negro. Prof. George Carver,

are today Negro sculptors, Negro
