The President of the United stat
es is a courageous man. as is shown
by his recent denunciation Of the
OAR because of their refusal to
permit Hazel Scott to appear in
Constitution Hall. 1t takes cour-
age to maintain a stand Of that
kind, especially if you intend to be
reelected in 194S. But gradually
America and Europe are coming to
realize that Harry S Truman fights
for what he believes to be right,
and not for the benefit Of any
clique or political group. How
much Of this kind Of courage the
South can stand comes to be an i'm
portant question. Perhaps Mr..
Truman's attitude will help the en-
tire nation to think and to act with
more ~objectivity, and to use worth
rather than color as a basis Of ac-
ceptance.

Six recommendations are made to

The USO Club has recognized the
need for such a program for a long
time. Already one hears COM
plants that little if any reception

pose Of this program will be to pre-

critical Of the FEC for failure to

The report concludes with a mes
sage urging local citizens groups
and individuals to support the FC-
C's request to Congress for ade-
quate appropriations TO fulfill its
functions as guardian Of the public

will begin granting FM broadcast

Criticism is directed at Jrie FEC
for having a~llocated, on September
