Marian Anderson is
Heard by Audience of
$4,000

tnAn altcIHooH W pay hoiSS "
a great singer-and ito the propo-
sition that all men are created
equal"
From the highest officials of the
land to Nhe LOWEST government
clerk, no matter what their race
or creed or the color their skin,
they dressed in their Easter Sun
day best and gathered at the state
ly white Abraham Lincoln Memoir
ial to pay tribute to Marian An
derson.
The old women who call them
selves the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution didn't think that
Marian Anderson should sing in the
edifice which they cail Constitution
Hall because her skin is black.
And the men who are supposed
to direct the education of the child
rem in the nations capital didn't
think that a Negro singer should
set foot on the stage, an audi
forum set aside for white children.
And because there was no other
hall IN which Marian Anderson
could use, Secretary of the Interior
Harold Iekes asked her to sing at
the monument to the man who
freed the slaves although there are
many in the capital city who have
forgotten this hostoric episode.
Ickes stood On the steps of the
monument directly underneath the
vast 19-foot statue of the sad-faced
Lincoln and proclaimed so that all
should hear:
an this great auditorium under
the sky all of us are free. When
God gave ups this wonderful out
doors and the Sun, the Moon and
the stars, he made no distinction
of race OF creed or color"
The great crowd, Negro and
white stood packed together on the
marble steps and on the green
grass and cheered and shouted.
"Genius draws no color line"
Ickes said. "She has endowed Mar
ian Anderson with such a voice as
lifts any individual above his fel-
lows, as is a matter of exultant
pride to any race. And SO it is fit
ting that Marian Anderson should
raise her voice in tribute to the
noble Lincoln, whom mankind will
ever honor"
Ickes did not refer to the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution.
He did not have to. All he said
was:
"There are those, even in this
great capital of our democratic re-
public, who are either too timid or
too Indifferent to lift up the light
that jefferson and Lincoln carried
aloft.'
Then Marian Anderson rose to
her feet to sing and the great au-
dience rose with her in tribute,
members of the Cabinet, senators,
Supreme Curt Justices and plain,
ordinary Negro workers alike.
Behind her was the statue of
Lincoln by Daniel Chester, French,
hued out of marble, simple and ma
iestic, directly in front of her was
the towering white shaft of the
monument to George Washington.
In between the two monuments
was the. blue water of the long
Barrow r~eflecting the pool on
which boys floated small white sail
boats. And on both sides of the pool
and on ever side of the Lincoln
Monument and almost everywhere
the eye could see were people
standing and listening.
Marian Anderson stood proud
and erect before the microphones
which Carried her voice over the
radio and to the entire nation.
She sang ave Maria" by Schu-
bert and an aria from La Favorita
by Doniztti. Then she sang Coos
pei Train "Trampin'" and "My
Soul is Anchored in the Lord" And
for encore she sang Nobody knows

On account of the shorttime be-
fore the races start, l am going to
give you 2 days every week in
stead of one. You can save the
clipping from your paper for your
record. May come in handy for you.
From reliable resources comes
important that this it going 10 be
a Banner year for dear old Aksar-
ben. Something like 1900 hundred
or more horses will come here.
You know that (Aurora) race track
won't be running this year SO we
will have the cream of the crop.
You will see some first class horse

DR.. Edgar l.. G. Prochnik, former
Austrian Minister to the United
States, asserted today in a forum
session at Georgetown University
that Europe's return to the old
game of balancing power may de-
lay outbreak of hostilities until
such a time as a peaceful solution
can be worked OUT
In a bid for American participa-
tion in that solution, he suggested
there can be no feeling of security
abroad as long as the United States
stands aloof. The nations of the
world will never be persuaded that
America will forever and under all
circumstances remain disinterested
and neutral toward developments
beyond its boundaries" he said.
With the sesquicentennial celebra-
ton ending at tomorrow convoca-
ton for the conferring of honors
followed by a huge reunion dinner
eign Service opened an all-day dis
cussion of international problems
Cooler weather forecast liberal

Later today, James A Farrell OF
New York, former president of the
United States Steel Corp. and a
Georgetown regent, was to open a
symposium on The Position of the
United States in World Economy
Prominent tariff experts were to
participate. Mr.. Farrell is chair
man Of the National Foreign Trade
Council and has conducted a SEM
mar in the Foreign Service School

Pageant Tonight.
Meanwhile, the medical sessions

Tonight at 8:15 o'clock, the ses-
quicentennial pageant, Sons oi

Central High School Auditorium
Well known local alumni are taking

Among the guests at the pageant

375 educational institutions ano
learned societies, who are taking
part in the sesquicentennial events
A cast of nearly 200 alumni anc
students will unfold Georgetown
history in the pageant.
When Germany absorbed Austria
. year ago, Dr. Prochnik resigned
his post in Washington and joined
the faculty of the School of For
eign Service. Others on the pane
with him today were DR.. Constan-
tine E. Mcclure of Washington ano
DR.. Thomas H. Healy. dean of the
school and an authority on inter
national relations.
The postwar system of collective
security has definitely given way
to the old policy of balance of power
DR.. Prochnik conceded at the outset
THE game of balancing power
has by now got into full swing,
he added. The next logical ster
to follow was a limiting of areas
which each of the groups considers
and consequently claims as its nat
ural and rightful field of exclu-
sive activity"
Europe had no other way than
this after a futile quest for new
methods, he contended.
DR.. Prochnik said there was cir

He added: "Our best and greatest
leaders in clinical medicine have
been modest and reticent. Our
wordiest spokesmen have not in

cine. They have made 1t a defen-
sive thing, Grade union."
