indicated that a recommendation
from the Military Affairs Commit
tee would not be mandatory upon
the department.
Col. Weston said Brig. Gen. F. H.
Osborn Of the Army Service Forces
had already decided, before the mat
ter was taken up by the House COM
mittee, to hold up distribution of
the pamphlet on the ground that
some of the material laws subject to
misinterpretation. This fact was
evidently not understood by the
interested Members Of Congress who
received at the opening of the in
vestigation, memorandum from
Secretary Stimson's assistant, Julius
Amberg, stating that the book would
be distributed as a part Of the Army
orientation courses.
Congressional interest followed a
dispute between the president of the
USO, Chester I. Barnard. and the
chairman Of the CIO War Relief
Committee, Irving Abramson. Mr..
Barnard banned the distribution of
the booklet in USO centers. AS a
result, the national CIO War Re-
lief Committee announced on Febru-
ary II that it would mail the pamph-

Lists IN this country.
Mr.. Barnard explained his po-
sition by saying: "The American
people have backed us generously In
giving service to individuals wearing
the American uniform without re-
gard to race or religion. They can
not stand behind us If we attempt
to promote the special political or
social interests Of churches, races, or
national and economic groups. We
must not yield to any pressure to
do so, no matter how urgent or
well intentioned; for we believe that
in the end, this would destroy our
capacity to render the service we are
obligated to give"
Mr.. Abramson attacked this atti-
tude with the statement: I'VE be-
lieve this pamphlet is one Of the
best weapons in the hands Of our
soldiers. It certainly is one Of the
best answers to Hitler's Aryan

BY HELEN LOMBARD.

BY HELEN LOMBARD.
A little green pamphlet entitled
"The Races of Mankind" which is
said by Its sponsors to promote
tolerance by showing the brother
hood of mankind and the funda-
mental unity of races has landed
In the lap of House Military
Affairs Subcommittee. The sub
committee became interested when
1t became known that $4,000 copies
had been purchased by the War
Department for distribution in con-
nection with Army orientation
courses.
The general trend of the pamphlet
prepared by Miss Ruth Benedict and
Gene Weltflsh, is that economic
differences are largely responsible
for so-called racial differences, and
that if you divide the wealth, you
equalize brain power and ability.
The pamphlet has been banned
by the USO and subsequently pro-
noted by the War Relief Committee
Of the CIO.
The War Department purchase of
5000 copies, which occurred dur
ing the USO-CIO dispute, was made,
according to Col Marshall Weston
of War Department Public Rela-
tions, without reference to the
controversy.
The authors said median intelli-
gence tests quoted in the pamphlet
showed that "Northerners, black and
white, had higher scores than
Southerners, black and white"
The Soviet Union is praised in the
pamphlet for its attitude toward the
cultural differences of races, and It
is stated that mo part of the Rus
sian program has had greater sue
cess than their racial program"
The amusing illustrations by a.
cartoonist for the New Masses are
the subject of a QUESTIONABLE on
the inside back flyleaf. The reader
Is invited to interpret the pictures
according to numbers. The illustra-
ton ON one page shows Adam and
Eve standing at the bottom of a
tree which has sprouted four
branches of varicolored and var
iously dressed members of the hu-
man race. The reader is told: Next
time you go to the ZOO, don't say the
monkeys and apes may be your 10Th
cousins, but all the people have
been YOUR close relatives for q very
long time"
On another page, a japanese, a
German, an Indian and Mexican
are portrayed. The German and
the Indian are shown in full war
paraphernalia, while the Japanese
is in a flowing kimona and is carry
ing flower in his hand. The Mexi-
can is shown with rake. The
moral of this drawing is there Is no
such thing as born fighter. People
often are vicious and cruel because
they are taught that is the best way
to get along. 1t is just as natural to
be cooperative and gentle as 1t is
to be bossy and overbearing. You
can bring out either characteristic
In the way you bring up child. His
race doesn't decide the matter"
At the moment there appears to
be some confusion as to the exact
status of the pamphlet in the War
Department. Col. Arthur Farlow
OF the Orientation Division, who ap-
peared before the Military Affairs
Subcommittee, would make no COM
ment on his testimony.
Col. Weston said the copies pur-
chased by the Army were not being
distributed. He was unable to say
what the future policy of the War
Department would be, although he

talk about romance when l caught her for

On this subject, Susanna is not only
refreshing-she's unique. When she talks
about her ideal man, she's too level

a knight in shining armor, but she's

OUTDOORS

The Potomac, while low and clear

"dog days" The water is working
and black bass fishing has been very
poor. Reports from up-river where
the small-mouths are to be found,
as well as from the tidal homes of
the large-mouths, are the same.

mostly confined to catfish, carp and

still are holding forth around Black

occasional fair catches of small

it likely will be several weeks before
the fish resume biting to any ex-

There have been several bright
reports of late, however. Mr.. and
Mrs. John r. Forte with Mr.. and
Mrs John G. Torney of this city,
enjoyed field day off Piney Point,
using hard crabs and blood worms
for bait. They boated 70-odd croak-
ers and trout. Bill and Mrs. Diers
are back from a jaunt to Wacha-
preague and more southern points

they enjoyed superlative sport with
channel bass, sharks and trout
Bills largest shark, caught OF

these fine fighters.
The expectation that fishing lines
of glass yarn might prove popular
after the war, particularly with salt
water anglers, probably will die
aborning. 1t was hoped that be-
cause they are impervious to salt
water, and possess great tensile
strength, they might be turned out
in smaller diameters and possibly
in less visible forms than currently
used lines. Unfortunately, they will
not stand kinking and unless they
can be processed to overcome this
weakness, they never will md much
