G. w. u. Glee Clubs
Give Annual Concert
By ALICE EVERSMAN.


The George Washington Univer-
sity Glee Clubs, continuing a ira
dition of nearly quarter of CEN
tury, gave their annual concert last
night at the Willard Hotel. Under
the direction of Robert Howe Har-
mon, the clubs have maintained an
enviable position in the musical life
of the city and lived up to the
standard they have set in the pro-
gram of this oath annual event.
In the training of his group, DR..
Harmon has been able to infuse
their singing with animation made
further enjoyable to the listener by
a clarity of diction which permits
of the following of the text without
difficulty With approximately IS
members in the two clubs, it is not
easy to do what DR.. Harmon has
done in achieving fine precision in
effects The excellence of intona-
ton and the general feeling as to
the sentiment and character of
what they are singing are constant
earmarks of their presentation as
is the clubs quick and direct re-
sponse in musicianly way.
The changing times have not af-
fected the vocal quality of the two
organizations to any marked degree
and the voices are fresh and power
full although their full strength is
used with artistic restraint While
the Mems Club is smaller than for
merly, the Women's Glee Club is of
its usual size and, on the whole, of
finer calibre than formerly.
Several numbers that were favor
ties on other programs were included
in that of last night. Among the

years supply on hand. ACCORDING
to John Beecher, former regiona.
representative of the FEPC there
are 1000. 900 seasonal farm work
ers whose services could be en-
tirely utilized to meet manpowel
needs.
1--WE are also opposed to this leg
islation," White declared because
it contains no safeguards to pro
tect the worker against arbitrary
action on the part of employers OF
local draft boards. This bill is en-
tirely silent on the obligation Of an
employer not to discriminate on
account of race, creed or color to
properly assign and upgrade en-.
!! ployees, to use safety appliances
and to establish reasonable wage
hour and health regulations.
1.-The bill requires compulsory
Service but does not guarantee
employment For example, und-
er S. 666, 10000 white workers
could be drafted and transferred
to a southern community even
though there were already pres.
emit there 10000 Negroes capable
Of filling the job. A prejudiced
draft board at the behest of a pre-
JUDGED employer who refused to
hire available Negro labor could
then order 10000 Negro workers
to pick cotton though they posses.
sed the skills to work in industry.
This bill gives an employer tie
right to reject a batch of drafted
labor without assigning any rea.
son for doing so and then permits
him to call on the United States
Government to provide more bat
ches from which he can choose
those he wishes to employ. The
worker would not have even the
protection provided by the Civil
Service where the employer has to
choose from the top three on the
list. In short, omnipotent controls
are placed in his hands to compel
servitude without the correlative
obligation to protect the servito-.'
Asked at this point by Senator
Austin, Republican of Vermont, ii
the insertion into the bill of a re.
quirement that workers would
have to be selected without regart
to race or color for assignment t.
war industries, would meet Mr.
Whites objections, White sale
that such an inclusion wollC
strengthen the bill.
White, citing the deplorable
treatment of Negro soldiers in the
South, argued, 'even with ample
laws on the Statute books, the fed
eral government has failed to pro
tect the Negro from intimidation

Things have come to a pretty
pass, indeed, when you have diff
ficulty in getting a potato. Yet
the mere fact that potatoes are
now hard TO get-in some places
impossible to GETS perhaps the
most significant development Of
the war. 1t isn't just a home
front development, either. The
Army, too, has had difficulty in
getting spuds for overseas ship
ment. And so, the decline Of
the potato becomes burning
question, an issue-the hot pota-
10 issue, you might say, and
fraught with social significance.
The Owl report on the U. S.
wartime food situation, hot off
the duplicating machines, indi-
Gates that there should be as
many potatoes this year as last.
In fact, more: 1927 pounds per
capita in l943 as against 1851
pounds in 1912, and only one
pound (exactly) less than the
five-year average of 1907
pounds per capita, 1859. All
of which goes to show how much
the experts know about these
things, the truest line in the Owl
report being a magnificent gem
crafty, The food situation is
not entirely practicable" Life
is like that, too, to coin another
phrase.
