make them distinguishable from
and Objectionable to older and
more solidly established popula-
ton groups, white and Negro.
Employment and housing pro-
blems must be alleviated, Granger
wrote, and, showing aside any sug-
gestion that they cannot be, he
pointed to the successful expert
ments conducted by the govern
ment, private leadership, and in
dividuals in handling bad situat-
ions during the war emergency,
notably FEPC and the voluntary
action on the part Of employees
and international labor unions to
improve their racial practices.
White and Negro Teamwork
In observing that one of the an
swers to a smoother race relations
is better teamwork between white
and negro leaders, Granger said.
Too much negro leadership in
the past has fallen under the head
of militant protest and not enough
under that of cooperative plan
ming When in addition to fighting
against employment and housing
discrimination, negro leadership
sets to work to improve job eff
cheney and neighborhood condi-
tions within the existing Negro
community, that l~eadership's ar
guments against segregation and
discrimination are made much
more effective.
On the other hand, Granger sta
ted, too much interest on the part
of whites in the negroes welfare
is on a level of condescension un-
pleasantly reminiscent to the ne

gro of the old time missionary who
offered salvation without having
first achieved it himself. These
modern missionaries want to work
for the negro but not with him.
Doleful Alternative
The doleful alternative to such
a program j snow before us, Gran
ger warned, in the torment and
confusion that characterize race
relations today. The racial ques-
ton is a convenient tool for fana
tic trouble makers and unscrupG
lous racketeers. The time is ripe
and the way is open to a new Sc
ries of race riots; to a succession
Of more quietly and efficiently con-
Quoted ScottSboro cases; to night
riding in rural sections and gang
thuggery in city streets; to a de-
cade of bloody and disgraceful ra-
cial controversy that will stain
the pages Of American history for
many generations.

War Tensions Menace
Among the visible factors con-
tributing to Instantaneous race

immigrations of approximately

BABY
By Edna Nae MeInsosi

A definite schedule is a great
help to you and your baby appre-
ciates regularity. But, schedules
must be changed at times. If the
routine upsets the family life seri-
ously, it may be adjusted enough to
make every one happy. 1t requires
common sense and not slavish adj
herence to exact hours and min
utes.
When your baby seems willing to
sleep instead of having the night
feeding, let him sleep, if he will.
Babies vary in the age when the
night feeding becomes unneces-
sary.
The feeding schedule may be var
led to suit your convenience and
your baby's. Baby may have break
fast any time from 2 or so until 9
or thereabouts. Orange juice and
water may be enough until after
the family breakfast is over. If it
isn't then change to some other
plan.
Usually new foods are introduced
at the moor meal which may come
anywhere from noon until two o.
clock, depending upon the sleeping
schedule your baby seems to pre-
fer. After cereal has been fed at
noon for awhile and other foods
begin to take its place, then move
the cereal to breakfast. About the
same time, cereal may be given
again for the evening meal.
The important thing is to keep
your baby healthy and happy
whether or not the schedule is the
same as other baby schedules.

original home towns without their
lucrative var jobs. But Negroes,
like all other American groups,
Granger pointed out, are driven
necessarily by a desire to improve
their status, and the advantages
they received in the North, West
and South makes them want to
stay there come hell or high wa
ter.
Adjustment, Absorption and
Indignation
The obvious course for commun-
ity leadership to follow, in order
to head off the racial explosions
that are bound to come, Granger
suggested, is the one that leads
progressively to adjustment, alb
sorption, and Indignation of Ne
groes into their communities, whe-
Their old or new. With this process,
Negroes will gradually overcome
cultural lags, lose social disabili-
ties, and get rid of those group
characteristics which frequently

gainst him. The last straw, the
League. Executive stated, was the
vilification of Negro servicemen
on the floor of the Senate and the
House at Washington, by the East
lands and the Rankins.
Now, in the postwar, Granger
emphasizes, race relations CONVEX
sation contains an alarming
amount of stupid thinking, the
most brutal being the attitude Of
putting the Negro back in his
place now that the war is over.
This last, he indicates, Is fathered
perhaps by the hope that Negroes
will be forced to return to their
