After seeing service in other
Cleveland farm clubs, Gromek in
1910 was moved TO Fargo-Moor-
head in the Northern League,
where he played shortstop for two
months. He tried TO hit left
handed to ease the pull IN an
injured shoulder, but the expert
ment was a flop.
Grornek was sent 10 Flint in
the Michigan State League. where
Jack Knight converted the Polish
boy into pitcher--a notable
change which has turned out well
for the Indians. Steve pitched

is games and losing Il. He

spring training this year. SEEM

Manager Lou Boudreau toyed

redistribution (ENTERS
PLAN

WAS HIN TON, Oct. IL
(ANP)-Junking it's old plan for
the establishment of redistribution
centers, the war department has
evolved a method whereby Negro
and white soldiers returning from
overseas under the rotation fur
lough system, will be accorded
identical treatment and will be al
lowed to use the same facilities
during the period in which they
are resting, being processed, re-
oriented, reclassified and reas-
signed.
Yielding almost completely to
the demands of a less-prejudiced
public and the insistence Of the
White House, the war department
announced that it's program had
been "altered and expanded
through the utilization of existing
army camps"
According to the announcement,
the expansion is necessitated by a
growing volume of soldiers sent
back home by the army's air,
ground and service forces. At pres
ent, hotel facilities are being util-
lied in the redistribution program,
a system which had been adapted
to the relatively small influx of
returnees prior to the invasions of
France and the advance on Ger
many, the department said.

SCHOOL SEGREGATION
A55AILED BY PROFESSOR

kA00kAuA6H ~ ! NVu 6OOVN
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10. (ANP)-|
''The greatest damage of all is done
in the Schools" the Rev. Claude H.
Heithaus, S. j., of St. Louis uni
versity faculty, declared as he as
sailed school jimcrowism as "the
poisoned root of misunderstanding
and hatred"
Speaking before the interracial
committee of the League of Women
Voters, the Catholic head said, ut
is only by association and the ex-
change Of ideas that human beings
can get to know and understand
each other. Segregation, from the
cradle to the grave, makes this i'm
possible. The greatest damage of
all is done in the schools. In them,
through their formative years,
children are taught by the very sys-
tenn itself, the great falsehood that
Negroes and whites are essentially
different, and must have as little to
do with each other as possible.
"There may be some who are held
back by the belief that it is impossi-
BILE to abolish this segregation in
education. To them / answer that
it has been abolished in many states
and cities, and it t'has been abolished
at ST. Louis university, despite the
fact that the institution has a rela-
lively small endowment and has no
revenue guaranteed to it by taxa
ton"
Rev. Heithaus is remembered for
a sermon last year to the student
body at St. Louis university when
he urged admission of Negro stu
dents into this Catholic school. Fol-
lowing the sermon, he said, "hun-
dreds of letters about my attitude
toward the Negro" were received.
More than 80 per cent Of those
letters, he said, favored entrance
of colored students into st. Louis
university.
Negro batting" is no longer ere
spectacle in ST. Louis, he said, as
he discussed the changed attitude
on the part of Negroes themselves.
They're asking for their rights
as American citizens, human be-
ings and Christians" he declared.
Comparing the American race
belief with that of the Nazi "su-
perior race" theory, the Catholic
educator said:

The Book For Tomorrow

Some day the war will be over. We shall

world At our feet will be unprecedented
chaos Cities reduced to rubble. Nations
bankrupt.
But reconstruction will be on the way.
Reconstruction is always in process. Wise
men are not waiting till the armistice to
make their plans for tomorrow's world.
They are making them now. Business is
doing it. Education is doing it. Our gov
eminent is doing it. The Christian church
is doing it.
The Chinese write tomorrow" as two
characters meaning "bright day." Tomor
rows world will offer new opportunities
and new challenges. 1t will be more COM
pact world Trade will be greatly extend
ed, and simplified. Communications will
enable the nations and kindreds and peo-
Piles, and tongues, not only to talk with one
another, but through television to see one
another in action.
In tomorrow's world, the Bible will be
within the sphere of effective use by tens
of millions of people, hitherto illiterate,
whose teachers have cured them of "book
blindness"
Tomorrows world will present stagger
ing new perils. The points of fraction be-
tween nations, races, classes, and culture
will be greatly multiplied.
Here lies the challenge to the Christian
church. In it's hands is a book. On the
pages of this book lies good news-the way
of salvation for men and nations.
In the greatest of all the centuries Eng
land, America and other Western nations
carried this book to every continent, and
put it in the tongues of all the great peoples
of the earth. Today the Bible has become
potentially the worlds one book, the book
that will serve as no other fundamentally
we can think of, to build better world of
tomorrow.
