Presidents
Secretary
is So Today
By DOUGLAS b. CORNELL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-(R)
Stephen Early, a former news
paperman who became one of
the administrations principal
spokesman as secretary to the
president, was SO today. He
passed the anniversary as usual
behind a desk which some of his
former journalistic colleagues
nearly toppled into his lap on
one occasion.
That was when he issued a
formal statement last December
disclosing that Winston Chur-
chill, Britain's Prime Minister,
had reached Washington after a
secret trip across the Atlantic.
The desk act, ally pas pushed
back a couple of feet in the rush
for telephones, and so was Early.
A lamp was knocked over, and
green glass doaHey, one of the
many knickknacks on the desk,
was cracked.
That incident was illustrative
Of the Importance which has
come to be attached to some an
nouncements from the presiden-
tial secretary. In recent months
he has released some of the out
standing news of tempestuous
area in American history-the
details of Pearl Harbor, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's messages to
Congress asking for declarations
of war, the declaration of the
United Nations, the formal or
ders which Get America on the
road to the greatest and most
costly war effort ever known.
Even before Pearl Harbor,
Early, reflecting the views of
"the boss" had d: veloped one of
the outstanding voices of the adj
ministration in the field of for
eign policy. Tn t was partly be-

1.-THE discriminatlons of the Ame-

the exclusion OF colored labor in

unless we can declare ourselves
wholly for democracy now and do

said. She started off, then

She was an odd girl, ali right.
He felt something in her over

In him. She RESPONDED tn him
as il he were human, As ffe IA
lived in the same world as she
And he had never felt that be-
fore in a white person. But
why? Was this sOme kind of
game? The guarded feeling of
freedom he had while listening
to her was tangled with the
hard fact that she was white
and rich, a part of the world
of people who told him what
ne could and could not do.
He looked at the building into
which she had gone; it was old
and unpainted; there were no
lights in windows and doorway,
Maybe she was meeting her sweet
heart? If that as all. then things
would straighten out. But if she
had gone to meet those Com
muujsts? And what were Com
munists like, anyway? Was sne
one? What made people Com
munists? He remembered seeing
many cartoons of Communists in
newspapers and always they had
flaming torches in their hands
and wore boards and we're trying
to commit murder or set things on
fire. People who acted that way
were crazy.
All he could recall having heard
about Communists was associated
in his mind, with darkness, old
houses, people speaking in whisp-
ers, and trade unions on strike.
And this was something like it. He
stiffened; the door into which she
had gone opened. She came out
followed by young white man.
They walked to the car; but, in
stead of getting into the back
seat, they came tc the side Of the
car and stood, facing him
"Oh, Bigger, this is Jan. And
Jan, this is Bigger Thomas"
Jan smiled broadly, : then
extended an open palm toward
him. Bigger's entire body
lighted with suspense and
dread. 'How are you, Bigger"
Bigger's right hand gripped the
steering wheel and he wonder
ed if he ought to shake hands
with this white man. I'm
fine" he mumbIed. Jams hand
was still extended. Bigger's
right hand raised itself about
three inches, then tipped i'll

Come on and shake" Jan said
Bigger extended a limp palm. ms

felt JAMS fingers tighten about his
