RayfOrd Logan
Hits Jim Crow
D. Practices


'eparate meetings of teachers on
the subject Improving Human Re-
lationships' should be apparent to a
child in the first grade" DR.. Ray
ford Logan, head of the Depart
ment of History at Howard Uni
versity, told DR.. Robert L. Haycock,
superintendent of the D. C. Public
Schools in a telegram last week.
DR.. Logan had been invited to de-
liver an address at an institute
meeting for the Negro teachers of
Washington's jimcrow school sys-
TEN. The white teachers were hold
ing a separate meeting-as is the
usual custom. However, in the
past, the same speaker has ap-
peared before both groups at their
separate meetings. DR.. Logan was
not invited to address the white
teachers.
Inconsistency Sensed
Sensing the inconsistency in his
subject and the arrangements, DR..
Logan wired the school superin-
tendent, in which he said:
~ hope that you will read the
following message to the teachers
of Divisions I to TX (white) in their
meeting today. The sheer futility
of talking to separate meetings of
teachers on the subject Improving
Human Relationships should be
apparent to a child in the first
grade. I trust that this is the last
year that this travesty and mockery
will be repeated. Walter Reed Hos
pital and hundreds of other hospi-
tails are full of the manned and the
blinded and the psycho-neurotics
who have been sacrificed on the al
tar of race prejudice, and the great
mQpuments of European civiliza-
ton have been destroyed for the
same reason. Are these not too
high price to pay so that you
may continue to enjoy and parade
your prejudices? 1 am reading this
telegram in my address to the
meeting of Divisions 10 to Is (col-
ored). hope that 1 may be able
to read also your reply"
No reply was received from DR..
Haycock. Efforts to reach him at
his office in Franklin School and
at his home were of no avail.
Small Nations and Big
DR.. Logan read the telegram to
the colored teachers as he said in
the telegram he would. The ap-
plause was deafening. He then
delivered his address in which he
pointed that the smaller nations
are demanding more power under
the proposed United Nations plan
for world security organization. He
pointed out the necessity of exam
lining closely what is a big nation
and what small nation.
France and England are big ma
tons not because of their power in
Europe, but because of their en-
pires, he said. There is no neces-
sary relationship between the
smallness of size of small nation
and its virtue or morality in either
international or domestic affairs.
Some of the small nations have
been as guilty of land-grabbing as
have some of the big ones. The
attitudes of the peoples of some of
the small nations have been as I'M
democratic as some of the big ones,
he declared.

The No. 8 pin shown in chart 7
should be bowled at from your
strike ball starting spot, for if the
ball rolls between the l and 3 pin
spots, it will without question bowl
over the 8 pin.
The No. pin must be rolled at
from comparatively the same
starting spot used in shooting at
the 6 pin.
Making the Ten Pin
Chart No. 9 shows the 10 pin
leave which in the mind of the
average bowler presents probably
the greatest bugaboo in the game.
This pin is left up oftener than
any other single pin when the ball
is rolled into or comparatively near
the 1-3 pocket. Leaving the 10 pin
up on an apparently good hit or a
hit that at least appears good 70
the bowler, causes a psychological
reaction which upsets many bowl
ers because they feel they should
have had strike. Then, when
bowling at the spare, this reaction
generally causes the bowler 20
hurry the spare shot or bowl at
the 10 pin unnaturally and as a re-
suit it is too often missed. Then,
too, the pin can only be made by
either hitting it full or on the left
hand side; very few number 10
pins, indeed, being knocked down
on the right-hand side just as the
ball falls into the gutter. No one,
regardless as to the type of de-
livery he employs, should attempt
to make this pin by rolling down
the right-hand edge, for he has too
small a mark to bowl at, the center
of the pin being only three inches
from the right-hand edge Of the
alley. In every instance whether a
man bowls straight ball, back
up or a hook, he must invariably
move to the left of the right-hand
corner in order to make this spare
consistently. The distance he
chooses from the right-hand corner
for his starting spot depends en-
tirely upon the type of ball he
rolls. The ball must, however, be
rolled naturally and not hurriedly.

Moves Up In
Standard League
BY Ed Mandy

Standard Commutator is on the
move in the Standard League.
They won three from the Toledo
Pressed Steel boys to crowd them
selves into first place by one game
margin over National Supply.
In the meantime, National Sup
ply, the league leaders over the
holidays, dropped the first two
games to the A. C. Hopping boys
to slip down a notch behind the
leading Commutator club.
The DeVilbiss team is being con-
soled by other members of the
league after they dropped three to
Gordon Bumper. After all, they
can't finish lower than eighth
place.
Bingham Stamping did all right,
taking two from Mather Spring to
strengthen their hold on third
place.

the same manner as that used in
bowling at the 10 pin alone, for #
a bowler loafs and just drifts his
ball at this set-up, he is apt to
have the ball strike the left-haud
side of the 6 pin so thin as to just
topple it into the gutter without
touching the 10 or have it go to
the kickback and around the 10 pin,
and if the 6 pin is hit full Cherry
pick" will result by picking the 6
clean off the 10. The only safe way
to be sure of making this spare is
to have the ball roll full into the
10 pin.
In chart No. II, the 5-S is a
leave that should be easily convert
ed into spare. This set-up should
be bowled at from the very spot
used in starting your strike ball
and can be converted into spare
in either of the two ways shown.
The So leave shown in chart II
can be quite easily missed three
ways; by either striking the 3 pin
too lightly on the left-hand side,
by missing the 5 entirely or by
picking the off the 8 which is
done quite often by both straight
and hook balls. 1t is best made by
starting your ball to the left of
your strike spot, striking it ap-
proximately where the finish of
the hook ball is shown. Converting
the SO leave into a spare is most
often brought about by moving a
trifle to the left and so closing the
opening between the pins, because
a sharp-breaking hook coming N
at too wide an angle from the right
very often chops off the 5 and
leaves the standing.
The AT set-up in chart No. Ii
can be bowled at as shown, al
though this spare can, of course
be made sure by having the ball
strike the pin and having the a
carry into the Z. By bowling at 1t
as shown one is apt to miss the q
and so fail to spare. This spare is
rolled at from comparatively near
your strike spot, although many
quite proficient bowlers start the
ball just trifle to the left of their
strike spot when bowling at this
leave. Here again the angle must
be changed from that used in bowl
ing the first ball.

Fulfilling commitments to farm
ers to support higher prices of
crops and livestock products, the
Commodity Credit Corporation in
creased it's loans and purchases to
31z billion dollars for the fiscal
year 1943.
In addition to stimulating pro-
duction, CCC said its expenditures
assisted OPA in maintaining price
ceilings, particularly for vege-
table oils. dairy products, poultry
products and meats.
Prices principally were sup
ported by loans to farmers on COM
modities stored against civilian
and military requirements, and by
lend-lease purchases. Of 2 billion,
700 million dollars worth of COM
modities CCC bought, about "a
billion dollars were for lend-lease

Eound---An
Honest Person

BALDWIN, Jan, A - If all
sportsmen were as conscientious
as a Sparta woman, who wrote to
the district conservation officer
here to report mistake in count
ing the number of fish in limit
catch, conservation officers would
have little trouble with violators.
Prompted by a guilty conscience,
the woman sent a dollar bill eX-
planning that she had gone fish
ing with her husband and young
son last summer and that they had
caught their limit of rs fish for
three persons, Upon reaching the
car, when through fishing, how
ever, they discovered that they
had miscounted and really had 76
fish.
Because the violation was so
slight and was unintentional, con-
servation officials returned the
money.

Beuk Tells

EAST LANSING, Jan. Hold
ing a pheasant up by the lower
part of the bill is a quick and
easy way to tell the age of the
dead bird, according to biologists
at the conservation departments
Rose Lake wildlife experiment
station. If it's a young cock the
beak will break, because the car
tilage has not hardened enough to
support the birds weight, but if it
is an old bird, the beak will not
break when the pheasant is held
in such a position.
The strength of the lower part
of the beak, determined by this
method of testing, has been found
to be an accurate indicator in most
cases

BowIes Answers
OPA-BoiferS
With Records

WASHINGTON - (FP) - OPA
head Chester Bowles Dec. 30 cited
his agency's court record as the
clearest reply to Smith committee
charges that OPA has trampled
on the rights of citizens.
The record was included in a
10000 word statement Bowles
filed with the committees ad-
ministration-baiting III air man,
Howard w. Smith Cd. Va.).
In report Nov. Is the com
mittee, which has a blank check
assignment to investigate eXecu-
tive agencies, accused OPA of is
suing "illegal, absurd, useless and
conflicting" regulations, using its
powers to sentence citizens of the
United States to starvation" and
blocking legal redress in the
courts.
OF 1891 OPA price, rent and ra-
tioning cases decided through
Sept. 1943, Bowles disclosed, the
government won $40. Defendants
prevailed in only POI cases.
To Smiths complaint that OPA
was working undue hardship on
businessmen, Bowles cited statis-
tics business failures at the low
est level in 50 years, corporate
profits after all federal taxes at
1900 of the 1869 average, and
marked increase in profits and
the proportion of sales going to
small retail business.

Penny Saved
Is Not Lost

COLUMBUS, Jan. 3.-With the
coming of each new year comes
the annual batch of questions about
what becomes of the unused funds
of the Ohio Division of Conserva-
ton and Natural Resources.
Letters coming to the Division of
Conservation reveal that still there
are many persons who do not real
ize that the money collected from
hunting and fishing licenses is now
earmarked for exclusive use of the
Division of Conservation and Nat
ural Resources. No funds revert to
the general revenue fund of the
state when not used during SIN
gle year-they just go back into
the Conservation Division fund to
be used at future date.
In other words, economies ef-
fected prior to the war has meant
a "nest egg" which can be drawn
upon during the war period as IL
censes sales fall off or which can
be used in postwar expansion as
needs be, Conservation Division Of
ficials point out.
On the other hand it should be
pointed out, they say, that no funds
from the general revenue fund of
the state are used in the operation
of the division, except in the case
of the Inland Lakes and Parks Sec
tion, which gets all its funds from
the general revenue fund and re-
turns a substantial amount from
licenses and rentals back to the
general revenue fund.

r. J. Thomas
Joins Coop

DETROIT, Jan. 4. = r. j.
Thomas, president of the
UAW-CIO, largest labor union
in the world, Joined in cele-
bration of the Cooperative
Centennial on January Bird, by be-
coming a member of the East Side
Cooperative, 11432 Chalmers, De-
troit, Michigan.
The cooperative movement en-
ters its second century of progress
in 1914, and is celebrating its cen
tennial all over the world.
"We of the UAW-CIO recognize
the consumer cooperative move
ment as a powerful force for the
building of genuine economic de-
mocracy, not only in America but
all around the world" Thomas said.
Pledges Full Support
Pledging the full support of the
UAW-CIO to the expansion of ex-
isting cooperatives and the found
ing of new ones in the coming year
Thomas declared that consumer CO.
operation is a living answer to
those who say that people can only
prosper through dog-eat-dog tao
tics of economic competition.
'It is the policy of our union, by
convention action" Thomas point
ed out, "to encourage and aid in
the formation of cooperatives. We
have passed such a resolution, but
we are not going to stop there.
The Consumers Division of the
UAW-CIO, in conjunction with our
Educational Department, is going
to actively engage in the work of
building the cooperative movement.
"In the coming year we are go
ing to work closely with the Co.
operative League in bringing our
union membership into the cooper
ative movement. This work will be
done on a geographical basis, with
members of our staff assigned to
coordinate educational and promo
tional activities stressing coopera-
tive action"
Offer Sound Solution
"I am convinced" Thomas stated,
'that the consumer cooperatives
offer a sound economic solution td
many of the social problems which
have subjected people to poverty
amid potential plenty, and which
have had much to do with the rise
of Fascist militarism.
"By achieving peoples owner
ship of stores, oil refineries, fac
tories and other such means OF
production and distribution, the CO.
OPS have worked out pattern OF
economic democracy which prom
ises to serve the common people
well in their battle with big busl-
ness monopolies.
"Our Consumer Division, direct
ed by Vice President Walter T,
Reuther, is going to do its best to
make consumer cooperation a real
factor in American economic life,
81 urge all UAW-CIO leaders
and members to join in the work
we are doing to build up the
strength of the consumer coopera-
tiyes in America" Thomas said in
conclusion.
