Breaking down racial barriers in
existing schools is the most hope
ful means to greater educational
opportunities for Negroes. the
authors believe. since the 81
schools set UP primarily for col

pand because Of housing and elm

Evening star., 1945-04-13

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 13.-The serv-
icemen at the Stage Door Canteen,
many of them wounded veterans,
sat for moment under a pail of
shocked silence and then quietly,
unashamedly, some of them began
to cry.
In a neWsreel theater men sobbed
aloud, women burst into tears and
ran into the street.
Two shore patrol sailors in Times
Square said: "All down our beat
we saw people wiping their eyes,
women crying"
These scenes we're typical in New
York City last night az. the people
received with increduldds surprise
the news that their Nations war
leader, President Roosevelt, was
dead.
presidents dead the PreSi-
dents dead. : :"
A hush followed the words every
where.
At Fort Totten's Air Transport
Command base ITO men awaiting
shipment to a battle zone heard the
news and asked their chaplain tc
lead them in special prayer.
Ofncials of military hospitals wor
ried over the effect of the news on
patients. Through wards and cor
ridors the word spread among the
wounded and men on crutches anc
in wheelchairs formed low-talkine
groups to ask:
What will happen to the peace
plans now? VIII 1t keep the wal
going longer?"

mensely loyal though both are deac
now. One was a corrupt city boss
the other the President of the
United States, the man Mr.. Truman
succeeds. Their names were Pen
dergast and Roosevelt.
Modest and Loyal.
President Roosevelt turned his
back on Henry Wallace at Chicago
in 1914 and Mr.. Truman saw the
lightning strike because he was the
most acceptable compromise candi-
date to the warning factions Of the
discordant New Deal.
Truman is modest, loyal, hard
working, poor and frugal. He still
takes a great interest in his ole
World War buddies. and is given tc
intense and lasting friendships-the
older the better.
Last october he opened his vice
presidential campaign in an obscure
little country fair at Charlottesville
Mo, where there wasn't another
vote to be had because the county
is overwhelmingly Democratic. But
for 10 years he had annually ad.
dressed the fair and saw no reason
to pass it by because he was in the
national limelight. Very likely he'll
make his pilgrimages back there ir
the future If the fair is held. Mr.
Truman does things that way.

News Is Received in New York
with Silence, Tears and Prayer

Thirty thousand people milled
about Times Square.
Il can't believe it. It's not true"
These were the first reactions, re-
placed by certainty and grief
One elderly, white-haired man
stood trembling and fearful on
street corner. His voice was hushed
with an infinite sadness when he
said:
Il wonder, sometimes, how the
universe is made up. A character
like Hitler lives and this good man
dies. He dies and he does not see
the good fruits of his labor"
