As director of "On Approval" Mr.
Brook insists that you shall take 1t
on his patiently paced terms. He is
never hurried and while you may
have an initial reluctance to dawdle
with him. you soon get over it.
A scene typical of this tempo,
which is downright sluggish. is one
of the funniest in the screen play.
1t involves the effort of poor Miss
Withers, an American heiress, to
provide meal for the profoundly
selfish Brook after the indignant
servants have left the eccentric
menage on the assumption that
something not quite moral is going
on. There is nothing to the pass
age except the girls long trips from
the terrace of the hunting lodge to
the kitchen, which seems about a
mile away. 1t is repeated several

by Give Brook, who also directed
the item and, with Beatrice Lille,
plays the star role. Even If MI.
ionSdale minds, Mr.. Brook has done
a much better job than the original
author. The sum total of the Little's
picture is sheer escape entertain
ment which a narrator blandly as
sures you is its single purpose with
the implication that if you don't
like it, why did you come. Such
honesty is refreshing and altogether
pleasant and encourages you to

st. James AME Church, whose
pastor is DR.. A. 0. Wilson, is the
slave church that is now hailed as
the mother church of the deep
south"
The history of st. James, aired
during a recent mortgage burning
dates back to 1914, or nearly 70
years before liberation OF the
slaves. Much of it's ultra modern
appearance is credited to the six
year paStOrate Of DR.. Wilson, who
is said to have raised more than
$4,000 for various purposes within
that period
Rehabilitation and cornerstone
ceremonies marked the church'S
Tooth anniversary here on August

ed, praised the congregation as
well as DR. Wilson during the lubi-

Houetowners Petition Truman To
Name Negro Labor Undersecretary
Chief Executive
To Get Chance
Al Needed Job

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - CAMP
President Truman's hometown
ers are reported to be drawing
up- a petition to request HIM TO
name a Negro as undersecretary
Of labor.
That action was agreed upon
last week by a group of local and
Jackson county citizens during a
meeting here III the offices of the
Kansas City Call. Such an APP
poinrment will give President
Truman an opportunity to do for
Negro people of the country the
service he declared himself IN IA
yor of when he talked OF falf
employment for Negroes, they ex'
planned.
The FEPC loses its power, with
the end of the war and the can
collation. of war contracts, until
such time as a permanent bill
giving it authority over peace
time industry is passed, they
pointed out. The fate of this Dill
IS still in the hands of congress,
although the President has spok-
on ont several times in its behalf.
The chief executive has the
rower to name a Negro as under
secretary of labor whose duty vii!
be to carry out the policies and
practices of the FEPC within the
framework of an already estah-
lished governmental department.
The group believes President
Truman viii give utmost consid-
GRAFTON to the petition of his fe!~
low hometowners, which will soon

Atomic Bomb Plants
Designed by Du POM,
Stockholders Told

The major role played by E. I. du
Pont de Nemours in the develop
ment of the atomic bomb was re-
vealed late yesterday, when letter
from Walter S. Carpenter, jr., pres
ident, to stockholders was made
public.
Du Pont engineers, it developed,
designed and built the plants at
which materials for the supersecret
bomb were made at the Clinton
Engineer Works in Tennessee and
the larger Hanford Engineer Works
in Washington. In this giant un-
dertaking, Mr.. Carpenter revealed,
Du Pont depended most heavily"
on the metallurgical laboratory of
the University of Chicago for re-
search work and consultation.
The contract between Du Pont
and the Government, negotiated
after Maj Gen. Leslie r. Groves, in
charge of the atomic bomb project,
appealed to the company late in
1912 to undertake the construction
OF the two plants, was highly un-
usual one.
Full Protection Asked.
First, Du Pont specified that 1t
should not make a dollar of profit
from the enterprise and that all
patents accruing from the develop
ment should be vested in the United
States Government.
Second, In view of the unusual
and hazardous nature of the under
taking, the Government was asked
to provide full protection to the
company against "all costs, expenses.
claims and losses sustained by Du
Pont."
Consequently the Government
agreed to pay all costs of the work
by direct reimbursement, or through
allowances to cover administrative
and general expenses allocated to
the work. The contract provided
that all allowances not actually
spent on the project would be re-
turned to the Government.
Urgency Deciding Factor.
Mr.. Carpenter told the stockhold-
ers that the project was undertaken
reluctantly because Du Pont already
was overburdened with war projects
and because its work had been
mainly in the field of chemistry
rather than nuclear physics.
However" he wrote, 'in the light
OF the extreme Importance and ur-
gency of the work as evidenced by
Gen. Groves statement that the
hrst nation to solve this problem
could force a victorious end to hos
tlllt1es merely by its military use
and that available evidence strongly
suggested that the enemies of the
United States in the present war
were seeking to solve the problem.
Du Pont sated that if in the opin-
lon of the Government its assist
ance was needed, it could not refuse
to attempt the work"
