Highlights from the Latest Books

Turn Home" by Eleanor r.
Mayo Morrow: $3.50 is a sim.
pie, familiar story. 1t is pure es-
cape reading in its very simplic-
ity, pleasant entertainment in
that you know perfectly we'll
that there will be a happy end
ing, interesting in that you are
compelled to turn the page to
discover how, rather than whe-
Their the young hero, Bub DOL
liver, will escape the trap set
for him by villains who, to seth-
er with Bub, are in the true Ho.
ratio Alger tradition.
Bub was the bad boy of the
Maine town when he ran away
from home, five years previous
to the opening of the story. We
find him returning, determined
to establish himself as a solid
citizen, after a period of wan.
dering climaxed by service as a
Marine at Guadalcanal, where
he was wounded and invaded
out.
He refuses to capitalize on
this, confiding only in the girl,
Lou Curtis, who stands by him
in the face of her fathers vio-
lent anti-Dolliver feelings. and
a friend, who eventually lets the
cat out of the bag. Bub is re-
buffed right and left, finally
finds a job which is jeopardized
when his rascally kid brother is
drawn into a partnership of
thievery. Blame for the sudden
epidemic of breaking and enter
ing naturally Is laid at Bub' 5
doorstep.
There are fist-fights and plots,
there Is young love thwarted
and young love triumphant, and
eventual vindication for Bub.
Complicated emotions, hidden
significance, deep thought are
not here. The book is like sum-
mer weather, with its alternate
thunder showers and bright sun
- that simple, and somehow
that refreshing.

"Why Mothers Get Grey" by
j. r. Williams (Scribner's $1.25)
is a volume of cartoons selected
from among the hundreds COM
prising series which has en-
tertained a nationwide audi
ence of newspaper readers over
the past decade.
Jim Williams, famous for his
far-from-idealized cowboys, his
machine shop characters, and
the Born Thirty Years Too

pulse Of the American family
when he began sketching the
pranks and idiosyncrasies of the

Why then does the japanese government invite

ADVISORY COMMITTEES
ORGANIZED

ONGAN1ZEO
The Surplus Property Board
has set up Industry Advisory
Committees to steer it on poll
cies that will not interfere too
much with private business.
Auto and truck manufacturers,
for instance, are meeting with
SPB late this month. What
these groups particularly fear Is
that the sudden sale of govern
ment surplus cars, jeeps and
trucks, before the manufacture
ers can get t.eir new models on
the market, will ruin a lot of po-
tential customers.
Another complicating factor
to that situation comes in Aug
ust when the Department Of
Commerce Office of Surplus
Property will conduct the great
est sale of auto spare parts
ever held. There will be nine
spot sales. Bid on the spot, pay
on the spot, take delivery on
the spot in Philadelphia, Gin
cinnati, Chicago, Atlanta, Fort
Worth, Denver, Salt Lake City,
Kansas City and San Francisco.
With all u. S. automotive
equipment pretty we'll worn
out in the war years when few
new models were available, the
demand for these millions of
standard auto parts will be tre
menoous. Through normal trade
channels these spares will find
their way through garages into
war-weary jallopies and keep
them rolling till the new mod
els are ready. This is obviously
the right time for these sales.
CONVERSION OF
MATERIALS A PROBLEM
The sale of auto parts is
fairly simple for they can be
used as is.s But some of the
surplus war materials have no
known civilian use in their pres
ent form. To study how these
materials may be converted in
to consumer goods Bureau
of Products Research for Alter
ed Use" will be set up soon.
Already there are a few exam
pies of what necessity can in
vent. Such things as aluminium
h and tubing, welding
equipment, rivet guns and drill
motors have been converted in
to lawn chairs, poultry brooders,
home heating units, electric hot
plates. Gas masks have been
made into goggles and the hose
used for bicycle handlebar grips.
BY showing how swords may
be beaten into gadgets in this
way, surplus property disposal
agencies hope they can encour-
age sales and get better prices
for what they have to peddle.
The job is just beginning.
Willow Run is for sale, and so is
baboon which was declared
surplus by an army medical lab
oratory. A thousand homing
pigeons were to be offered re-
Gently, only by the time the
sale was made the number had
increased to 1900, Nature hav-
ing taken her due course.

DAYTON Street WORK
DELAYED BY WEATHER

Unusual" June weather has
thrown work of the street depart
ment several days behind schedule.
Due to rain and unreasonable
cool weather, the department has
been forced to postpone resurfacing
Of streets in residential sections,
George F. Baker, service director,
said yesterday.
Despite the rain, work on Fourth
street, between Main and Ludlow
streets, was completed yesterday.
Work will begin soon on the resur-
facing of Cincinnati street, west of
Washington street, Baker said.
With a promise of "fair and
warmer" weather, it is expected
street gangs will begin a general
face lifting of residential streets.
An oil emulsion will be used on the
streets instead Of regular street oil,
which is unobtainable.
Baker reported he expected the
emulsion would prove better than
the street oil.
"Streets badly in need of repair
will be resurfaced first" he ex-
planned. However, the manpower
shortage will not permit us to re-
surface all of the streets which
need repairing"

RICHMOND, Va, June Ia (ANP)
1t. Lee A. Archer, rated as Amer
ica's leading Negro pilot, was able to
survive 1873 air missions without in
jury during his Ia months overseas
only to be injured in an automobile
accident after his return to the
states. He is recovering here at the
Richmond Army Air Base hospital.
1t. Archer, who entered the army
air forces while student at New
York university, was member OF
Col. B. O. Davis famous "Red Tail"
flying group that holds the record
of knocking out 81 planes on the
ground in one mission over Lake
Balaton, Hungary, between Buda-
pest and Vienna. He has, according
to army records, 10 German fighter
planes to his credit.
One of the most exciting mo-
ments, he recalled, was when he and
the late Capt. Wendell O. Pruitt,
famed st. Louis pilot, recently killed
at Tuskegee, battled 13 Nazi planes
while flying with their group in
formation.
They spotted a German ME- Ill,
broke formation and moved in for
the kill, only to run into IL Messer-
schmitts. Archer bagged three,
Pruitt destroyed two and their
group rescued them in time to take
care of the rest.

To begin with, it is certain that
this is the decision of the Superin-
tendent and Board to convert Woga-
man into Negro school. They must
assume full responsibility for this
action. The community did not ask
for it. More than year ago, under
the guise Of removing the disturb
ing elements from Wogaman, the
Superintendent's office undertook
the removal of all white pupils, issu-
ing them transfers and assuming
the cost of transportation. A few
were left, however, because some
white parents objected to the trans
fer of their children out of their own
school district. The high percentage
of Negro children at Wogaman now
is due directly to the Superintendent.
and Board Of Education.
That there were problems at
Wogaman is public knowledge.
What is not public knowledge is that
the attempt at solution was always
approached with the idea of making
it Negro school. 1t was never con-,
ceived that an inter-racial solution
was possible. Wogaman presented a
fine laboratory in democratic educa-
tion but those who are entrusted
with education for democracy never
once sought to experiment. With the
pattern of race segregation at hand
and believing in it themselves (as
their decisions prove) the officials
only awaited a favorable moment
for applying it to Wogaman.
In justification of segregation it
is usually argued that Negroes
want it. In this case, however, the
Superintendent and Board cannot
offer that as an excuse. They know
that no responsible group of Ne
groes advocated the change. Woga-
ran is to become Negro school be-
cause the Superintendent and Board
want it that way. All of the avail
able evidence shows that the lead
ership Of the Negro community and
the rank and file Of Negro citizens
are definitely opposed to segrega-
tion and are bent on it's destruction.
The responsibility for this trans
gression against education and de-
