Defends Exclusion of
Marian Anderson,

To the Editor of The Star:
AS practically only one side of the
Anderson controversy has appeared in
local papers, request space for the fol-
lowing:
To compel white school to accept a
colored singer, so long as segregation
of the races exists here, far from being
democratic. borders on tyranny. 1t may
appear biased to have rejected the splen-
did singer in question, but that is alto
gether irrelevant. A colored school would
be within its rights in objecting to a
white artist If 1t 50 desired.
freedom Of choice" is one of the
fundamentals of our form Of govern
ment. Hence Mrs. Roosevelt and other
well-meaning people should familiarize
themselves with our Constitution before
attempting to force an issue down the
throats of taosesthat disagree with them.

'Irremediobk Lost

Capltulation and peace terms re-
main formally to be negotiated, but,
for all practical purposes, the curtain
has been rung down on the tragedy
of the Spanish Republic. Great
Britain and France have granted
unconditional recognition of the
Franco regime after certain assur-
ances'' from the victorious insurgent
government. Yesterday another step
designed to seal the doom of the
Loyalist cause ensued, when Presi-
dent Manuel Azana, from his new
abode of exile in provincial France,
made public his resignation as chief
magistrate of Spain.
In a letter to Diego Martinez
Barrlo, president of the republican
Cortes and his constitutional success
sor, Azana sets forth that the civil
war, having been 'irremediably lost
for the republic" and the political
machinery of state having, in con-
sequence, "disappeared,' he lacks
the organisms indispensable for
the presidential function" Under
the circumstances, Azana sees no
alternative but to throw up the
executive sponge.
Meantime Premier Negrin, who has
been holding the government fort
precariously at Madrid, has sum-
moned his cabinet for a critical con-
terence at an unnamed village some
where in Eastern Spain. Presumably,
like President Azana, Negrin and his
fellow ministers are preparing to
lace the music. That conclusion Of
peace under the best conditions OBJ
tainable from Franco is the cabinets
doleful duty seems obvious.
When Mr. Chamberlain announced
to the House of Commons that Brit
ain and France had decided to ac-
knowledge the legitimacy of the
Franco government, he was greeted
by shouts of Shame" and Betrayal"
from the opposition benches. These
signs of disapproval were not quieted
by the Prime Minister'S statement
that he was in possession of undis-
closed pledges from Franco respect
ing "the traditional independence of
SPAIN and the treatment of repub-
Hcan leaders and Sympathizers.
Only faint reinsurance on either of
these scores is discernible in General
Frances first public utterance since
the republics collapse. Speaking at
Burgos on Monday to cheering
crowds, he declared "it would be un-
fair in these moments of triumph,
when even those who fought against
us Great Britain and France?)
recognize us, that we should not re-
member those who believed in us
from the first day. To the sister
nations, to our sister Portugal, to our
beloved Italy, to friendly Germany,
to the nations in America who also
encouraged us then, we give our
friendship and remembrance at this
moment.
1t is easy to credit word from Lon
don and Paris that their immediate
reaction" to Francois address is any,
thing but favorable. There is GER
tainly little in the generalissimo's
declaration to blast Italo-German
hopes of suitable reward for their
part in insurgent victory.

Dear Sir: Spring is really here.
'This morning, despite the very low
temperature, to be read on the thermom-
eter, I counted seven robins busily en-
gagged at feeding from one Of the wife's
cake tins filled with milk-soaked bread
crumbs.
Several times so far this year have
felt the same way, especially when I
counted five different varieties of SPAR
rows. 1t was day before yesterday; in
cluded were the fox sparrow, the song
sparrow, the tree sparrow, the white
throated sparrow. and our Joy, the Eng
lish sparrow.
The fox sparrow, that small-sized
chicken, scratching with both feet, as
sured me that spring was here. Now,
since old Mr.. Cock Robin is here, the
proof is thoroughly established.
Il have enjoyed your comment on
mockingbirds, but although we have one,
I am inclined to think that he is a sissy
and bully.
why? The answer is Mr.. Shrike.

spite of your plea for tolerance, I shall,
If possible, outsmart and remove this old
reprobate.

sneers at me.

with which I am an expert and could

Can you suggest any way, Mr. Toler-

you the answer? Your column comes

FOURTEENTH STREET.
Dear Sir: In view OF the widespread
interest taken by readers in your &C
counts of bird habits. and in particular
of the pugnacity Of blue jays in attack
ing squirrels and cats, may I add this
brief story of an attack on a man I
witnessed at my residence on May 81,
1882, by pair of blue jays, which,
thereby, certainly lay claim to cham
pionship honors.
These jaws were rearing their young
in a nest of twigs located near the top
of small balsam spruce, overtopped by
an adjacent young pear tree laden with
green fruit in our extensive front yard.
Now an elderly gentleman, barehead-
ed, who then lived in the same house
with me, started to shake the pear tree
to see if any of the fruit was ripe, when
the jays, evidently fearing for their
young, or that dropping pear might hit
them, swooped down on the gentleman
and pecked him good and hard on his
bald pate.
watching from the porch, and hear
ing my friends cry and surprise, ran
to the pear tree, and had the same jays
fly at me, but without striking, as had
on my hat, and was not unprepared, as
was poor -. can furnish at least one

Steel registered de- cline of more than point. c. rysler was down fractionally Railroad and utility issues receded. Aviations, firm at the start, lost the gains.

 There were exceptions to the de- cline. Some preferred issues firmed. Du Pont was strong. American Tel ephone registered gain of point at the outset and then gradually fell back.
 Cocoa Cola gained point and minor advances were noted in Gen. eral Foods, which equaled its high, International Harvester, Marshall Field, Monsanto Chemical, Sears Roebuck, Standard Oil of New Jer- sey, and Mcintyre Porcupine.

SON-IN-LAW SAYS
 GARNER TOO 'SOT'
(Continued from Page D

"The world goes by Cactus Jack and he just can't catch up as we see it. Maybe he could carry Texas. You're on the ground and I'll take your word for 1t. But out here If he is in the drivers seat at all he is driving an old model T, and at that he has lost the road and is really headed for a cactus bed in Uvalde.
 Anyway I thought you'd be inter- ested in knowing that Garner never could carry Washington or any of these western states.
 Third Term Seen
 Regardless of how the family feel about 1t, the fact of the matter is that out here you can't stop peo- pie insisting that your pa has got to stand for third term. It would be tough on him-to say nothing of the rest of the family-but people won't stop talking that way.
 Maybe what you really mean is that Garner would be good pres- ident of the state of Texas The Texas people might be growing conservative as you suggest but cer- tainly that isn't true of the people of the real west.
 "The way we look at it Is this:
 "The Democratic convention in 1940 has to name a new dealer. Ii the boys down in the solid south put up reactionary Democrat, and the rest of the states somehow put enough votes to nominate him, il will be just too bad for the party and the country, as we see 1t, be- cause in such case these folks out here would turn right around and vote for a third party candidate or a Republican. Wouldn't that be toe bad?"

the previous week reflecting further contraction of demand from mer- chants who are cautiously keeping stocks very low.
 Automobile production gained but actual sales were reported on de- cline. However, predictions were made for an early pickup. Automo- bile companies were not ordering steel and the steel operating rate slipped back slightly. Declines also were noted in electricity output, and lumber production.
 Gains were made by advertising, construction and car lodaings. Bank clearings improved.
 Commodities continued to reflect uncertainties in stocks. The average was unchanged for the week, al- though for time there was slight pickup in the so-called war com- modities, notably wheat and sugar.
 Advances in individual stocks were ascribed mostly to short-covering. There was some investment demand for higher priced issues on setbacks. American Telephone was hard hit for time, but made a big recovery. Steels and motors rallied to gains.
 Building stocks were weak because of the low caliber of building pro- grams. Utilities enjoyed good mar ket late in the week and most of them made up losses. Rails per- formed similarly.
