CoIorfuI Spectacle

The bull fight opened with a
parade of the participants. 1t was
very colorful. The fight had hard
ly started when one of the plea
dores was unseated and gored by
the bull. (The picador is a horse
man who rides out on a blindfold-
ed horse and prods the bull with
long steel pointed rod to make him
angry.) Everyone let out a long
drawn "Ohw The man was quickly
carried out. The bulls attention
was distracted by men gracefully
shaking magenta colored capes be-
fore the bull.
When the bull had been leased
sufficiently, the bull fighter APP
peared. He infuriated the bull some
more with a blood red cloth. Con-
cealed in the folds was a dagger.
He waited for the exact moment to
plunge the dagger between the
bulls shoulder blades. The first
bull staggered like a drunk,
dropped on his front knees and
then fell over dead. He was dragged
away by two horses. The crowd
applauded and the bull fighter
smiled graciously and bowed.
Juan was particularly pleased
with the bull fighters performance.
He said that he was light as a
dancer and graceful! He urged US
to watch his feet. He was sure that
this fighter would be chosen to be
a professional bull fighter by next
year.
Amateur Tries Luck
Just before the second bull was
brought on, the professional fighter

the bull h stuck. These were
given the amateur, much as fow-
ers are given a concert singer in
the States. The amateur was sim
ply bursting with pride. With a
dart in each hand he tried TO plunge
both into the bull at once, but each
time only one found its mark and
stuck. The young fighter was so
Disguised. The crowd sympathized
with him. The professional smiled
condescendingly. During the fight
the fighter lost his footing and
gracefully fell between the horns
of the bull to the ground. Our
hearts leapt and pounded! He lay
perfectly still. Immediately the
bulls attention was quickly dis
tracted by the fellows with the
magenta capes. Then the fighter
got up and we saw that he was
unframed. The crowd yelled ad-
vice. He should be more careful
or he would never get to be a pro-
fessional!
Juan told US that the audience
was always sympathetic with the
amateur. They didn't like to see
him take chances. But they became
angry if the professional fighter
was not daring and tried to be eau
tious. He told us also that when
the crowd was angry they threw
anything in their possession at
the fighter. Because of this habit,
the government did not allow soft
drinks to be sold in bottles. 1t
was always poured into paper cups
for the customer.
Although Juan explained the
game in detail, l could not give an
accurate account of the fight be-
cause there were too many distrac-
lions.
Show Was Too Much
Although We were seated on the
next to the last row, we were still
too close to the whole show. The
smell of warm blood and the sight
of red blood-caked bulls, who re-
fused to die even though their ife's
blood ran from them like water
from a faucet, was too much for
US. Mrs. Harvey and l did not
faint, but we left after seeing three
bulls killed. (This was a six-bull
fght.)
l wanted to know, what be-
comes of the dead bulls ?"
''They give them to the prisons"
Juan replied.
1t was good to be outside the
arena again and breathe IN the cool
evening air.
And now down Mexico City's
famed Paseo de la Reforma for the
last time and now we said, 'Hasta
la vista!" because we intended to
return again. Then on to Monter-
rey.

We returned in the cool Of the
night TO Nuevo Laredo in a first
class bus. It wasn't as much fun
as the second class bus. The Gus
toms officials at Nuevo Laredo
asked for our tourist cards which
had been the magic passport to
wonderland. Then a money chang
er gave us twenty cents for each
peso we had left. We were at last
ready for a final inspection at the
United States Customs office in
Laredo, Texas. With the shrinkage
Of our money, came the final realiz-
ation-our Mexican holiday was

A man who perhaps has been
awarded as many medals and cita-
tions as any man living was dec
Grated again yesterday.
He is Rear Admiral Richard E,
Byrd, who has visited more un-
known lands than any other man
living, and the newest medal he
wears bears the name of the man
who discovered by mistake the
richest land in the world-Christo-
pher Columbus.
The award of the Heraldic Order
of Christopher Columbus was made
to Admiral Byrd, and to Maj. Polan
Banks, novelist and descendant of
the Spanish Minister of Finance
who helped finance Columbus first
voyage, by Ambassador Emilio Gar
cia Godoy on behalf of the Domin-
ican Republic, in ceremony at the
Dominican Embassy yesterday aft
ernoon.
Admiral Byrd, soft-spoken,
gray-haired man, fingered the red
and silver decoration, almost as big
as a fist, and seemed embarrassed
when Ambassador Godoy called
him 'today's Columbus" He was
reluctant to talk about his trips to
the Antarctic regions-trips that
exceeded the dreams of adventure
of most small boys.

Full Equality for Negroes
B. the Associated Press.


WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Feb. 10
An editorial published in the current
issue of Flat Hat" student publi-
cation at the College of William
and Mary, declares that work must
be done in educating ourselves away
from the idea of white supremacy,
for this belief Is as groundless as
Hitler's Nordic supremacy nom
sense" and suggests that Negroes
should attend William and Mary
go to our classes join the
same clubs and be our roommates
and marry among u.s."
The editorial. which the Flat Hat
oflce said was written by Miss
Marilyn Kaemmerle, editor. of
jackson, Mich, was tempered by
the realization that this cannot
and should not be done today, or
tomorrow. but perhaps the next day.
Neither they nor we are ready for
it yet"
= The William and Mary Board of
Visitors registered its thorough
disapproval" of the editorial at a
meeting today in Richmond and
requested such corrective and dis

This measure states that the pres

ent to the county superintendent of

is the opinion of the committee
that the board now has authority

PTA 10 Ask Study
For Equalization Of
Fairfax Taxes

A special tax study committee OF
the Fairfax County Parent Teacher
Federation will ask the Board OF
Supervisors at its February 81 meet
ting to name a group to study legis-
lation to equalize the tax burden
between the county's sub urban resi-
dents and its farmers.
Asserting that the county's half
suburban-half rural status creates
tax problem that cannot be solved
by purely local action, David H.
Scull. Fairfax chairman of the PTA
committee. said the supervisors
would be asked to appoint a group
to study tax equalizing legislation to
be proposed to the General Assem-
bly, Under present conditions, he
stated, it is impossible to raise the
county budget to care for educa-
tional needs without saddling the
farmer with too high taxes.
Mr.. Scull pointed out that Fair
fax County resident earning his
living in Washington might pay $40
a year in taxes, while county
farmer with the same income earned
from land might be taxed 5000 or
more.
