RACIST THEORY BLASTED IN
FAIRS BOOK EXHIBIT

New York, Sept, (CNA)-A special
exhibit of books and original charts
analyzing scientific and democratic
truths about race and race prejudice
was opened at the Hall of Science and
Education of the New York Worlds
Fair this week by DIR. Gerald Wendt,
the Fairs director of science and edu-
cation, and Professor Franz Boas,
world renowned anthropologist.
The exhibit was prepared by the
American Committee for Democracy
and Intellectual Freedom as a feature
of its American Rediscovery Week
progrem. The committee plans to set
up similar exhibits in hundreds of col
lege and general book stores, libraries
and class rooms throughout the coun-
try as part of its campaign ito lay
bare the sources of prejudice" which
threatens American democratic institu-
tions.
Professor Boas, who is national
chairman of the Committee, pointed out
that books included in the exhibit were
carefully selected according to the
views on race accepted by the grea
majority of American anthropologists
as summarized in a resolution unani,
mously adopted by the American An
thropological Association last Decem-
Der, which said in part: "Anthropology
provides no scientific basis for discrim
ination against any people on th'
ground of racial inferiority, religious
affiliation, or Linguistic heritage"

One of the most impressive things
about our government is the ability OF
our officials to take care of one prob |
lem and question while others are
pressing for action.
For months the Nations outstanding
government economists have been
studying and analyzing reports and
statistics on the recent depression
years.
Uncle Sam wanted to know what
the idleness of so many millions of men
had cost the Nation and what could
be done to prevent future losses.
Well, the study neared its peak at
the same time the world crisis came,
BUT it didn't stop the men with their
reports and tables.
Today l got an exclusive report on
that study.
= It's one of those reports which
leaves the average citizen sort of hang
ing on the ropes because of the fig
ures involved.
The Nations loss because OF idle
men and machines during the depres-
sion years, for example, was estimated
at two hundred billion dollars.
This loss in goods and services was
cited in a report which indicated that,
in important ways, the open market OF
other days had given way to controls
over price and production both by in
dustrial groups and by the govern
ment. ....
Statistics were compiled by the Ma
tional Resources Committee and ex-
planned in detail by Economist Gar
diner c. Means who said, "lf the
whole waste of the depression due te
idle men and idle machines, had beer
used to build agricultural and indus
trial plants, the existing plant coul'
have been completely rebuilt. Or,
non-working men and machines ha'
been concentrated on housing, neV
$4,000 house could have been provides
for emery family in the country"
By the way, this report is the frs
result of an inquiry into the structur
of American economy and the stats
tics may be used to good advantage i
future government sponsored pro
grams.
And today, l picked up an outlin
of another report from federal econc
mist and it's so encouraging that l.
give you a review of some of the high
lights a.
This economist friend of mine est
mated that between 100000 and l
100000 unemployed would get jobs b
January 1st if the European wa
should bring large foreign orders
this Nation.
Such orders, he explained, will CON
to stimulate more intensive investmel
of private capital and that by ne'
spring another million men and W.
men will be employed.
Incidentally, this economist est
mated that there are now 100000 Jo
less in the country, BUT this is 6,0O(
600 less than in 1888
For those of us who would rath
have world peace instead of war-evt
though the latter may produce ne
demands for commodities and th1
create jobs-can find some consolatiC

And even if the United States should

TO face some restrictions to insure the

Experts in Manila fear domestic

failure of growers to plant cane for

somewhat monotonous music of the

paniment, often solo. And at first
it sounds strange, strain Of the
old barbarism of the earliest times
in this mid-Pacific region. Then
one discovers evidence of sophisti.
cation in the sequence of melodies,
though with little of variety. Per.
haps the words are in Hawaiian,
which is the best music. The use
of English words to Hawaiian music
Is an anachronism, particularly II
accompanied by an modern instru-
ment. Worst of all is the mainland
imitation of Hawaiian music, which
is atrocious. Far better the Groom
ing chant of the older lei women

Alley" importation rendexed by
quartettes of men and women with

compartment. A movement for the
preservation Of native music and
the eschewal of the modern sophis-
tication Of tangled sounds would
make for Hawaiian betterment as
an attraction to the samewhat
world-weary traveller.

of happy people, with sorrows in
the background, with gaiety first

with philosophy of life that makes

fit to perfection!
This wide-s -shouldered dress 1679-
b is just as slimming as it is
smart. The circular skirt is cut
to a high and pointed waistline
that melts into the figure with
princess smoothness. Gathers just
above the waistline ard on the
shoulders create just enough bosom
fullness. The V-neck is narrowed,
to be more becoming. It's a style
as gracious and elegant as it is
simple-the lines are so lovely. Make
this of silk crepe, chiffon or
georgette in a rich, dark color, or
black.

ders accent the suave. sophisticated
lines of this dress Q716-B) which
is also extremely becoming to large
figures. From the bodice softened
by clusters of shirring and nodded
in at the waist, the paneled skirt
flows gracefully to a slightly flaring
hem. This is an unusually satisfy
ing dress because it's so practical
for runabout and still has softness
about it that you'll like for in
formal afternoons. Choose fiat crepe,
small-figured print or georgette;
repeat it later, for summer wear,
in cool voile or batiste.
If you're slim as a wand, then
you'll look your most beguiling in
a dress like 1718-B, with wide shoul-
ders, a princess skirt that flares
decidedly and a plain bodice gath

you look softly rounded. as well as
slender. The high neckline covers
up your collarbones and is made
even more flattering by frill and
two little bows. The puffed sleeves
are frill-edged, too. If you wear
this in taffeta, silk print or fiat
