Office Is Raided

(CNA)-Six persons, including
two white workers, were arrested
this week in a raid by city detect
tives on the Communist Party's
state office in this city.
Formal charges against the six
were "loitering and vagrancy,'
but no one here doubts that the
real reason of the raid was Police
objection to the presence of men
Of both races in the office on the
basis of complete equality and
fraternization
The Office has been occupied by
Ted S. Wellman, Communist Par
tv district organizer for several
months. Wellman was one of the
two whites arrested on a charge of
%"loitering and vagrancy." Well
man and w. A. Humphrey, 81, a
white WPA worker, were released
on $1,000 bond each.
The four other victims of the
police raid were freed on $3.50
bond each. They are: Charles
Lane, IS, Emerson Mcclure, 10,
Charles Carey, 81, and Rena Carey

the country were IN a bad way,
suffering from idleness, lack of
income, and inability TO go to
school or college. With the coming
of the CCC as one Of the emergen-
ey projects, Immediately thousands
of young men found a constructive
way to occupy their time, as well
rs gainful employment which aid
ed their dependent families and
themselves. This experiment has
cot quite a sum of money, but we
belive the general good has been
best served by lis creation
We note with some disappoint-
meu5 that an order has gone

Der Of camps. and we note with
approval the fight being waged TO
restore these camps. We think
these camps are needed, for corr
ditions are about as bad now as
they were when the emergency
called forth the creation. We be
licve the camps should be restored.
It is good to be able tosay that
the CCC has, on the whole, been
fair to Negroes. A ratio of ten
per cent of the whole has been
fairly well maintained in both the
number Of Negroes enrolled and
the number of camps given over to
Negroes. Negroes have been given

The Curse Of Repetition

The Curse of Repetition
Repetition is still the curse Of
music broadcasting. The public en-
dures repetition in heaping doses, or
ctestras playing the same tunes
hour after hour, night after night.
And yet, the music publishers are
largely responsible for the ~overplug-
ging. They have believed that con-
centrated airing of a new song over
a period OF a month or more to an
audience of 100000 would bring a
rushing torrent of gold to their sheet
music counters. They did not reckon
uoon the effect of the constant
airing.
No listener can endure a persis-
tent dining of a ditty. He quickly
becomes fed up-fed up in most
cases in less than a month. Even the
complex strains of the classic com
posers cannot stand nightly repeti-
ton. Even a Debussy or a Richard
Strauss cannot hold up under it. And
if they can't, what chance has q
simple Hollywood ballad?

One Enduring Ragtime Air
A lifetime has passed since it FIRST
crashed upon the pianos of the old
eabarets of the country. It swept
across the nation with the force of a
cyclone. Feature writers interpreted
prominent citizens on the perils of
ragtime and Berlin was considered
everything from a menace to a
genius.
With ragtime now spelled as jazz
and swing, Berlin confines his acti-
vities chiefly to blue skies and melo-
dies that linger on, leaving the hot
stuff to others. Yet. when the call is
clear and persistent, he. too, can
turn out torrid jazz as he demon
strated in Heat Wave"

AROUND MIAMI
tBy CONTRIBUTOR
sesseessaseee

Having baby in a Miami hos
pital is an interesting experience
for the parents and shows how
far we have come from the old
days when babies were born at
home. The chief benefit of the
hospital confinement is to give
the doctors and nurses a free
hand. In the old days the doctor
sat by the bed and looked con-
cerned, but today the doctor is
guarded from undue strain and
remains absent until the last mo-
ment, when the nurses get to-
gether and agree that the baby
is ready to arrive. The usual
method is for the nurse to sit by
the patient reading magazines.
When the nurse has read several
short stories and the patient is
about ready to call quit, an
other nurse appears to relieve"
the nurse on duty. They ex-
change the latest hot ones" and
then look at the patient and agree
it is about time to call the doc
tor. Comes an orderly and re-
moves the patient to the operat-
ing room, where the nurses are
chatting while awaiting the doc
tor. The will-be father, mean
while, stands around wondering
where the doctor is. In a moment
of timerity he asks the nurse if
all is well. This is tantamount to
an expression of disbelief and
complaint and the nurse freezes
up.
AT the last moment the doctor
appears, is gone a few minutes
and reappears smiling. That
means the end of the tension for
all concerned, from then on the
nurses will stop in to borrow
more magazines and all will be
well. The chief advantage of the
hospital confinement is that the
neighbors can't sit on the patients
bed and tell stories of similar
cases. 1t costs five times as much
to have the baby in hospital,
but that makes it worth it, be-

Big league stars of 1884 return
to the minors.
On October 8, 1884, two young
men, both pitchers, faced each
other in crucial game in the his
tory of baseball. One had collect
ed "a victories, Is of them in a
row, and the other, 10 victories,
one of which was a no-hit, no
run performance. Paul Dean of
St. Louis Cardinals and School
boy Rowe of Detroit Tigers were
the pitchers. They were on top.
The future was very bright ahead
of them.
In that sixth game of the
worlds series of 1884, Paul was
the shade better and his club won,
4 to 3. The Cards went on to
take the series.
But where are they today?
Rowe has gone to Beaumont in
the Texas League, and Paul Dean
could not make good in the same
league and was sent back to the
Cards. Paul is going to try again
in the Texas circuit, with Dallas.
Just matter of four years and
two stars, who had a great future
ahead of them, are now dimmed
and the possibility is that they
may never shine again.
Such is baseball hero today
and bum tomorrow.
