Dr. Ruth Cruber On Survey
 Of Alaska For Government

Alaska is a wonderful coun- try with wonderful future, and t has this wonderful future not only in peace but in war because t is the center of the crossroads of the world. Alaska, and Nome particularly, is right in the heart of that crossroads. I think that She Arctic is really the coming crossroads of the world So states Dr. Ruth Gruber, the stim- ulating and brilliant young wo- man who is making a social and economic survey of the entire Territory of Alaska for the De- pertinent of Interior. Alaska has infinite resources-gold and oth CT minerals, reindeer, fish, furs, and timber-and when those are developed to their full capacity Alaska will be one of the. most important sections of the whole country She continued.
 pr. Gruber will remain in the Territory for year collecting material for her suvey. She has already covered a good portion of Alaska, having travelled thru the Inside Passage and thense to Seward: over the Alaska Rail- road to Anchorage and Fair banks; down the Yukon River by steamer and on the small river boats to St. Michael; to King Is land aboard the Coast Guard Patrol Boad Atalanta where she remained two weeks; to Nuni- yak Island and the Pribiloff Is- lands; to Unalaska and back to Nome aboard the Cutter Haida via St. Lawrence Island. Short ly Dr Gruber will fly to Kotze- bue, Pt. Hope and Pt. Barrow.
 PribilOff Islands Outstanding
 Outstanding in her observa- ton, she said, were the Pribiloff Islands which make most in spring picture of what intelli- gent government can do in con- serving wild life. The seal which were almost extinct in 1911 now number over two million. The whole island is government pro ject. The native Aleuts live in government houses and receive electricity and water from the government as well as their pay. The Island is extremely healthy, having few diseases and only a small portion of the people have tuberculosis
 Amazing, she said, is the seren ity and nobility of the Eskimos she has met in various localities. The equality among the people of Alaka, and the vigorous and democratic spirit in the Territory has captured her interest.
 Youngest Ph. D.
 Dr. Gruber is associated with the Columbia Broadcasting Co. and also works for the New York Herald Tribune. A pamphlet is sued by the Columbia Lecture Bureau has this to say about this extraordinary young woman:

SWEET POTATOES may now be
found everywhere and the thrifty
housewife is sticking them in as
many places in the family diet as
she can. This is the sweet tater
season, and so the price is reason

no better way to excite the family'S

Good Preacher Worth More
Than Ten Policemen Nabrit
Tells Mount Calvary Group
ATLANTA, Ga.-(SNS)-
By TASCHEREAU ARNOLD


Warning that good preacher is
worth more to a community than
ten policemen who come up after
things have happened, DR.. j. M.
Nabrit, secretary of the National
Baptist Convention, Inc, member
of the executive board of the Bap-
tist Worlds Alliance, captivated an
overflow crowd at Greater Mt. CAL
vary Baptist Church Sunday as the
18th anniversary ended for the Rev.
and Mrs. B. j. Johnson as pastor
and worker of the church.
w. L. Murdaugh told members
and friends of Mt. Calvary to smile
their way through" as he very ably
presented DR.. Nabrit.
Developing the theme, "The I'M
mortality of Action" the Baptist
statesman bluntly stated that any
preacher or laymen who hates is a
murderer.
Anniversaries" he retorted, "are
given for those who have achieved
! something"
Some people make sandhouse
leaders to tear down." DR.. Nabrit
thundered. In summing up he said,
Il am not going to Heaven because
am a preacher, but because I
have some OF that 1 hope you
have"
Earlier in the afternoon, DR.. C.
N. Ellis, narrator of Chariot Wheels
and pastor of Reed Street Baptist
Church electrified the group with a
powerful message in which he call
ed attention to the fact that
Christian people are something be-
cause OF their background, while
the Rev. Jerry Drayton delivered a
fine sermon at the morning serv-
ices. He urged faith in God and
I people.
Many gifts were showered on Rev.

amusements. They may be screly
needed if recourse to the courts
becomes necessary to obtain equal
pay.
The teachers, as a whole, are not
heroes and have no desire to be-
come heroes But this does not
clearly explain why they are espe-
cially afraid to adhere even pas
sively to the NAACP. 1t was this
organization which led and fl
nanced the struggle for equal pay
for Negro teachers i'll the South.
In South Carolina the NAACP.,
has exactly 1140 members: thera
are more than 5000 Negro teach
ers in this state. This lack of sup
port, this lack of appreciation, this
lack of gratitude is so shameful as
to be scandalous. A part of these
refunds now used for overs -stuffine
and Giving" should be used fer
memberships in the NAACP. and
subscriptions for the Crisis. Or. if
the teachers find this too com
promising they could contribute to
one OF the funds of this splendid
organization. And what about the
reserves of the Teachers AsSocia-
ton? Are they sufficient for ALL
probable needs in the near future?
Pertinent questions which require
J precise answers.

THE SOUTH TODAY
We can be as radical and as
brave as one could wish, but we
are not sufficiently Well-armed or
sufficiently numerous to decimate
the white South, even if we so de-
sired. The white South has no de-
sire to decimate us. We cannot, all
of lis, ernigrate from the South,
even if both races so desired.
Therefore we shall continue to live
here, side by sioe, with our fairer
neighporS. ..s,
Our problem, then, is to get along
with them as well as possible. To
accomplish this, we must persist in
our efforts to make them under
stand us better and we must try
harder to understand them better.
We, whites and blacks, must not
hope nor expect Go solve our in
tricate problems easily, immedi-
ately. Legislation cannot wholly
solve it and even decisions of the
supreme court cannot be enforced

least partially and actively, by
public opinion. (This was con-
ceded by the supreme court itself
when a member, (Justice Frank
furter, we believe), in reading a
decision intimately affecting the
South, euphemistically referred tC
it as an area socially sensitive.'O
We can help form and guide
this public opinion by persistently

EDDYVILLE, Ky.-(A N P)--
The immortal Bert Williams, often
recited, "Great moments come to
ev'ry man. some sitchin-aShun
where he can attain such fame that
folks acclaim the ver' mention OF
his name"
A Negro with the Scotch Irish
cognomen Of Harry Kelly created
that situation here in the Western
Kentucky penitentiary by hanging
his shingle over a cell door, and
launching into a lucrative law
practice.
BY mandate of a louisville
court Kelly at present Is a forc-
ed, non-paying boarder within the
cultural confines of this state
institution maintained for those
gathered in beyond the laws bor-
der. 1t is alleged that Harry was
guilty of premediated, malicious.
and lagrant rapid-penmanship. 1t
is further alleged that IN mo-
ment OF reckless indulgence he
wrote the right name too accurate
ly upon the wrong check.
BLACKSTONE FOLLOWER
Having long been an ardent fol-
lower of Blackstone, Kelly was
not to be deferred by iron bars
and grim walls. 1t was in truth
more to his liking that he, was
surrounded by closed clientele.
AS a legal expert he was literally
monarch of all he surveyed.
Endowed with considerable
ability and quite a little legal
training. Kelly made his debut by
selecting himself as the first
client. He proceeded to draw up
a formidable habeaS corpus writ
with the forensic phraseology of a
supreme court justice. This plea
was denied in federal court, but the
undaunted Kelly next applied to
the state court.
With the auspicious start, and
added prestige among his enclos-
ed brethren, Harry's legal mind
sought new fields of endeavor.
In corridor conferences n d
through the grapevine word cir
culated rapidly among the repent
ing scholars that genius had
arisen within their midst. Har1y's
cell became shrine of hope.
STARTS GRAPEVINE
True to the ethics of the pro-
fession, the budding barrister set
his own investigational grapevine"
at work delving into the financial
background of prospective clients,
and arranged a scale of fees in
accordance. From those who
