Proxies Disagree
On Army, Macy
Taking Colleges

are IN agreement, but other proxies
throughout the country register dis
sent on varying grounds. The main
base of opposition is that liberal
arts education and small colleges
will be casualties.
DR.. w. III. Cowley, president
of Hamilton college, an active
ally of the armed forces in col
legiate mobilization in the past,
finds the plan "quite made
quate." His is a college of about
$50 students, and he has been
g0al-keeper among college pres
idents against drives threatening
the humanities and liberal arts
in the colleges. As an educator,
he has opposed early and ex-
IRENE specialization and has
stressed the importance of edu-
eating the s'wh0le man."
With this strong conviction, he be-
lieved colleges, by proper adapta-
ton in teaching, could help meet the
demands for youth in the war and
at the same time hold their ancient
cultural franchise. A year ago, he
circularized 200 upperclassmen of
his college with letter urging them
to join the navy and has served as a
member of the educational commit
tee working with the army and
navy. He says this committee OPP
posed the new plan, about month
ago, without success.
DIR. Cowley became president
of Hamilton in 1888, at the age
of 80. AS an expert and au-
thority ON vocational guidance,
and in educational research, he
has concluded that an organized
and adequate personality, and
the ability to think must take
precedence over special skills.
If boys off to war can somehow
cram little sound education into
their duffie bags, he thinks it will
be all to the good-or, more pre-
cisely, he thinks it is urgently i'm
portant that they do so. He is the
most modern Of educators, but has
opposed such Innovations as those
Of DR.. Hutchins and Stringfellow
Barr, which would reduce the col
lege course to two years.
When he was graduated from
Dartmouth, he was voted the "most
likely to succeed" He took his
Phi. D. degree at the University Of
Chicago. M IL b8 y 81.

tics. Baron Won Schoen has been
so long and so deeply intrenched in
Latin-American intrigue and so sue
cessful in covering his tracks and
staying on the job that this four
line news item may well indicate
powerful Chilean swing to the Allied
Nations.
His organization of subversi0n
in Chile has been exposed and
attacked time and again with
out so much as jolting the bar
on's m0n0cle. He has been most
deliberately wired in, not only
with double-dealing politicians
but with a hemisphere complex
of industrial and financial inter-
eStS and German-based cartels.
If it is true that they finally
have cut him loose from these
mOOrings it surely means that
some of the scaliest and tough
est Axis tentacles in those parts
have been severed.
His family is an old, established
firm in international political con-

Their, the late Baron Albrecht, circu-
lated in Europe before the start of
the first World war, trying to soften
up the opposition, and Baron Will
helm carried on over here in the
Mexican Vaccinations which helped
get us in the war. He did this so
smoothly that few postwar years
passed before his role, as an aide
to Count Bernstorff, was understood
and his activities fully appraised.
In 1914, he arrived in Wash
ington, after several years as
secretary Of the German en-
bassy in Japan. In an inter-
view, which seemed to have
been carefully premeditated, he
told Of Japan's bitter hatred Of
the United States, and her de-
termination to annihilate us,
sooner or later. The interview
stirred up much angry discus
sion and brought the baron a
sharp reprimand from President
Wilson, with hint that the state
ments had been intended to pro-
mote enmity.
He was married in 1916. to an
American girl, highly placed social
ly, and, as secretary to the en-
bassy, achieved deep penetration in
the capital salon diplomacy at a
time when our entry into the war
was still in the balance. He re-
turned to Germany, after the failure
of the Mexican conspiracy and lit
tie was heard of him until the early
days of the Hitler ascendancy.

Fats Turned Rancid
Still! Can Be Used

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(SNS)-
With millions of pounds of waste
kitchen fats still needed to meet
war demands, Paul G. Cabot, Di-
rector of WPB Salvage Division,
has urged housewives to remember
that even if accumulated fats
became rancid, they still retain
majority of the valuable glycerine
that goes into war production.
When the government started
the waste fat collection program,
officials recommended that fats
be stored in a cool place prior to.
turning them in to the butcher
shop, SO that the fats would not
become rancid. It was pointed out
that rancid fats become smelly
and therefore nuisance to handle
as well as slightly reducing their
glycerine content. -
: The need for salvaging all waste
kitchen fats is so important that
housewives are urged to turn lin
all fats, rancid or not, and butch
ers are asked to accept these fats
for immediate shipment to render
ers. Renderers will make sure
that every ounce of fat that they
receive will be rushed into war
production. &AEna

WASHINGTON, d. C.-CSNS)--
A net reduction of an additional B
percent in newsprint usage for the
foruth quarter of 1943 was recon-
mended by the Newspaper Industry
Advisory Committee meeting with
War Production Board representa-
tives in Washington yesterday. This
is expected to. bring about a total
reduction of Is percent since the
first of the year. The original Order
L-240, effective January l, 1943,
reduced quotas by approximately 5
per cent, and a further 5 per cent
cut was ordered on July l.
Exact percentage of the 'reduc-
ton in the fourth quarter cannot
be determined by WPB until the
Combined Resources and Production
Board meets in the near future to
learn the maximum tonnage Can
ada can deliver during the fourth
quarter. Canada has been deliver
ing 10000 tons of newsprint per

Say, what they got of yours?"
he asked.
The man ignored, shouting:
I'll report you to the President,

my evidence! You can't cover up
your crimes! I'll publish them to
the world! I know why you are
putting me in jail! The Professor
told you to! But he's not going to
get away with it :"
Bigger watched, fascinated, fear
full. He had the sensation that the
man was too emotionally wrought
up over whatever it was that he
had lost. Yet the mans emotions
seemed real; they affected him,
compelling sympathy.
You're afraid of me" the man
shouted. That's why you put me

The men set up a clamor. But
soon group of men dressed in

grabbed the yelling man, laced
him III a strait Jacket, flung him
onto the stretcher and carted him
away.

Finally, things quieted. For the

felt that he wanted someone near
him, something physical to cling to.
He was glad When he heard the

a guard loomed over him.

He was handcuffed and led

American slaves is portrayed in
North American movies!
The Cubans enjoy recording their
activities for the movies and it IS
possible to see depicted in the News
of the Day" in all the theaters the
daily happenings whether import
ant or trivial. In almost all of these
there are numerous colored faces
present in the audiences, seated on
tn platform and participating as
speakers before the microphone.
On the other hand, I am getting
nentirely different slant on in
ternational affairs and world news
with regard to the war. For example
in the United States, the war in
Africa parades and demonstrations
of victory are portrayed in the news
with but few If any colored faces.
When this is not possible, the
faces are blurred out or changed
with such great rapidity that unless
one is a very close observer, it is
to detect that Africa is
a land of the blacks and
the browns. Here I am seeing a diff
ferent story: I see again and again

the chair and did not answer. The
room was small. A single yellow
electric globe dropped from the
ceiling. There was one barred VIM
dow. All about them was profound
silence. Max sat opposite Bigger and
Riggers eyes met his and fell.
Bigger felt that he was sitting
and holding his life helpleSSly in
his hands, waiting for Max to tell
him what to do with it, and it
made him hate himself An organic
wish to cease to be, to stop living,
seized him. Either he was too
weak or the world was too strong;
he did not know which. Over and
over he had tried to create world
to live in, and over and over he
had failed. Now, once again, he
was waiting for someone to tell
him something; once more he was
poised on the verge of action and
commitment Was he letting HIM
self in for more hate and fear?
What could Max do for him now?
Even if Max tried hard and honest
ly, were there not thousands of
white hands to stop Max? Why not
tell him to go home? His lips
trembled to speak, to tell Max to
leave; but no words came. He felt
that even in speaking in that way
he would be indicating how hope
less he felt, thereby disrobing his
soul to more shame.

Kansas Citiians :
Raise Bonds For
4 Brown Bomber
$25O,OOO Goal
For Fortresses :.
Has Been Set

KANSAS CITY, Mo. = (SNS)-
"a Brown Bomber for Our Brown
Flyers" is the goal which Negro
volunteer Third War Loan workers
set for themselves as they LAUGHED
their $250000 Brown Bomber War
Bond Drive" in Kansas City this
week.
Behind the leadership of G. A,
Franklin, publisher and editor
whose newspaper. the Kansas City
Call, is spearheading the drive,
Negro Kansas Citians plan to buy
enough bonds during the current
campaign to defray the cost of
one of the Flying Fortresses, now
so busily faying the Axis on scat
tered war fronts.
'"The idea behind the desire to
defray the cost of a bomber" eX-
planned Mr.. Franklin in an inter-
view, grows out of the appeal which
is being made to colored citizens
of Kansas City as a matter of local
pride. . Since so many Negroes
work in local plane plants"
He pointed out further that the
Brown Bomber Drive" is to be
carried out in such a manner as to
reflect the credit to the Negro
populace for its participation in
this and previous War Bond cam
paigns.

Miss Waters had earlier startled
investigators for the states attor-
ney's office WIDEN she broke into
sobs and cried God will take care
of everything in refusing to sign
a complaint against her ex-secre-
tary whom she had accused OF
purloining the valuables from her
''Blueberry Hills mansion. Capt
Edward Davis of the states at
torneys staff, however, announced
he would take action anyway and
booked the dancer, who was the
principal member of Katherine
Dunhams troupe during the stage
run of "Cabin in the Sky with
suspicion of burglary. Savage was
later released in $4,000 bail and
trial date set for Sept. ID.
ADMITS GUILT
Savage is alleged to have admit
ted his guilt but demanded the
screen stars home and automobile
for return of the stolen goods. A
locksmith named Shane identified
Savage as the man who engaged
him to break the locks off the
wardrobe trunk that contained the
valuables, and Miss Waters took
the stand against her former con-
fidante. Stating she had called
Savage who had moved from his
quarters in her home 30 that of
Anita Browns, another screen
player, to ask about the missing
articles, she said she suggested
that maybe one of his friends was
the thief.
''He came over that afternoon
and admitted having taken the
money and gems" explained Miss
Waters, "but declared there was
nothing / could do about it, that
his word was as good as mine. But
the next day he called and said
he had had a change of heart and
asked me not to accuse his friends
and he would return the balance
of the money and valuables.
SHE THANKED HIM
81 thanked him and told him /
was glad he had decided to do
the right thing, however, when he
said there were certain conditions
which were necessary to agree to
before their return. He said that
I must sign over my Lincoln
Zephyr car and home to him. This
I refused to do and told him that
if he did not return the valuables
I would have him arrested. I told
him that he evidently did not in
tend to do tie right thing and then
I called the police.
Miss Gladys Root, white, coun-
sci for Savage, attempted to con-
fuse Miss Waters on the stand, but
the actress maintained her equili-
orium and answered questions di-
rectly. Later Miss Root said the
charges were all a mistake, and
that the trunk did not contain
$4,000. She added that her client
vas not guilty and predicted he
he would be freed.

to see what was happening. Down

struggling with a broWn-skinned
Negro. They dragged him over the

rectly III front of Bigger's cell door.

him inside, locked the deef,-and
left. The man lay on the floor for
a moment, then scrambled to his
feet and ran to the door.

ed.
Bigger saw that the mass eyes
were blood-red; the corners of his
lips were white with foam. Sweat
glistened on his brown face. He
clutched the bars with such FRENZY
that when he yelled his entire BODY
vlbrated. He seemed SO agonized
that Bigger wondered why the men
did not give him his belongings.
Emotionally, Bigger sided with the
man.
