Success story. Two years ago a
girl named Mary Beth Rolfe went
to VOL and offered her services
free just because she wanted to get
into radio as a career. There was
an opening for page for the sum-
mer months at a small salary. Mary
Beth really got a good look at radio
in those two months, for a page is
only a glamourized Office boy. Then
back to Cornell for her senior year
and lots of activity at the college
radio station and in the Dramatic
Club. After commencement at Cor
nell, Mary Beth returned to VOL,
this time assisting Madeline Ensign,
program director-doing work she
likes, and it seemed so remote when
she was page, running errands.

For Rad;oL listeners
By BrySon Rash.

"Yanks in the Orient" is the title
OF a new series of program pre-
sented by the War Department and
heard locally on WMAL Wednesday
evening at pm. These 15-minute
broadcasts tell the story of the &C
tions in which our troops are en-
gagged in the China Burma India
area. 1t. Gen. Joseph Stilwell,
commanding officer in the theater,
commissioned team of experienced
radiomen to make these transcript
tions so the folks back home could
get a true picture of our armed
forces in the area.
"Yanks in the Orient" promises to
be particularly timely series, what
with the daily headlines on the &C
ton around Imphal and Kohima
The first program dealt with an
Army hospital unit stationed on the
indian border. Nurses. doctors,
medfeai corpsmen were interviewed
by announcers on the spot. A brief
trip through one of the wards
brought out a description of the
wounds the men suffered and how
they were caused. The patients were
Chinese and the announcer spoke
through an interpreter. One of the
surgeons described the conditions
under which he worked close up to
the lines of battle He called it
surgery by flashlight, under
ground" The broadcast was not
SIAM bang war, but a quiet, inform
ative story of the, function of the
Army Medical Department. It's an
honest, interesting series.
They will be running at Church.
III Downs next Saturday and Ted
Husing, assisted by Jimmy Dolan,
will be there to discribe it to you.
The 10th renewal of the Kentucky
Derby, Americas turf classic, will
be broadcast on WTOP-CBS begin
ming at pm. You know, when the
band plays MY Old Kentucky
Home" you get big lump in your
throat, not because of the horses, or
the music, or the setting, but be-
cause of the event and it's tradi-
tion. It's the same effect as when
you see the Lincoln Memorial at
night, or the trees that over
hang @ street in the bright spring
sunlight.

Negroes Must
Make Supreme
Court Decision
Real. Randolph

The United States Supreme
Court decision that Negroes can
not be barred from the Texas pri.
mary election Is undoubtedly .
great step forward in the re-af.
firmation Of the Negroes consti.
tutional rights. but it is not the
last word by any manner Of
means, in the struggle Of the Ne
gro to exercise the right Of SUI.
frage in the South.
The final word is to be given
by the Negroes themselves. The
Supreme Court decision 10 not
self-executing. 1t can only b made
a living reality by Negroes in
every Southern state by actually
going to the polls to register and
vote, regardless Of consequences.
1t must be remembered that
the 14th and 18th Amendments to
the Constitution are a dead letter
because the Negroes themselves
never actually serignsly attempt
ed to make them a living real
ity.
Some Southerners think the
whole difficulty will be cleared
UP by non-appearance Of Negroes
at the ballot boxes, despite their
newly cited prerogatives.
The answer is that Negroes
must overcome fear and the habit
patterns of letting well enough
alone and taking the easiest way
out.
