THE WILMINGTON MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, N. G.

Macarthur is known to be con-
tent with the progress Of his pro.
gram Of demilitarization and de-
mocratization.
In public statements, the su-
preme Allied commander has ex-
pressed confidence that an occupa-
ton force Of 200, 900 for both Japan
and Korea will be sufficient after
next spring if no untold develop
inents occur.
Americans and japanese agree
that thus far there has been 100
per cent compliance with the series
Of directives issued from MacAr-
thurs headquarters. There is no
evidence Of any underground in the
making. But, those who believe in
a relatively short occupation en-
phasize that one wnicn extends be-
yond five years will bring new
dangers.

adopted a resolution calling upon
laymen of the church to support

err, field representative.
They reported that $187,307 had
been raised in the state toward a
goal of more than 100000 for en-

much during the War SO that bust
nessmen now need expert advice
in preparing advertising. This was
brought out recently at a New
York Publishers Association meet
ing by Don Bernard the able Ad-
vertising Director of the Washing
ton Post. He appealed both to ad-
vertisers and newspapers, warning
Of a drop in Image ahead unless
they wake up and actively solicit
business.
When 1 was boy the newspa-
pers were about the only medium
for advertising although there
were a few magazines such as
the sYouth's Companion" The
great magazines of today did not
then exist. In 1907, / went to work
for the Saturday Evening POST
and 1 remember George Horace
Lorimer, the editor, told me that
the circulation was less than So.
600 when he took it over. Today,
however, unless a magazine has a
circulation of two or three million
It has great difficulty surviving.
On the other hand, newspapers
have an unique advantage over
other forms of advertising. An adj
yertisement can be delivered to
today which will be
read by the community tomorrow;
while magazines must 60 to press
one or two months before the ad-
vertisement is published. News
papers are also confronted with
radio advertising and probably
will soon face television advertis.
ing.
Radio advertising is profitable
for only big concerns. Where a
can constantly increase
its size, a broadcasting station is
lllulLeQ W OIAC wave AC1AStA dllO
only twenty-four hours a day in
which to use it. Many stations are
overloaded with advertis-
ing. Unless they correct the situa-
ton, this country will strive to cut
out radio advertising altogether as
has taken place in Great Britain.
Furthermore, in the case of radio,
the advertiser is using the spoken,
rather than the written, word, -
and people forget quickly.
But more important than any
thing I have mentioned above is
the service which your local news
paper renders to the upbuilding-
morally, politically and socially
Of your community. 1t can DO
many times the good of the preach
err, school teachers and city faith
ers. It gives you more for your
money than anything else you
can buy. Back it up in every pos
sible way by encouraging its edi-
tors and advertisers. -

NEGROES Benefit BY
GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD

CHICAGO, Oct. l (ANP) =
Many a Negro child unknowlingly
is the better today because of school
facilities made possible by contri-
buttons from the General Educa-
tion Board, an agency established
by John D. Rockefeller Sr., for the
promotion of education within the
United States without distinction
of race, sex, or creed.
The board, according to the Oc-
tober issue of New Vistas maga-
zine, has had a continuous existence
for 43 years, and has followed the
policy of helping Negroes to help
themselves. The development of the
Atlanta university system and Dill
lard university in New Orleans are
examples Of achievements that have
been made possible largely by the
support of the General Education
board.
"Fellowships for advanced study,
summer school projects, grants-in-
aid, development of Boy Scout pro-
grams for Negro youth in southern
states, libraries, studies of African
languages and culture at Fisk uni
versity, the United Negro College
fund-are but a few of the items
appearing in the treasurer's report
on appropriations to Negroes" the
article states.

50 SENATOR'S TO VOTE
FOR ANTI-p0LL TAX BILL

WASHINGTON, Oct. l (ANP)
"A total of so members of the SEN
ate are committed to vote for pass
age of the anti-poll tax bill, accord
ing to the National Committee to
Abolish the Poll Tax. Of this num-
Der, the names of "A are being made
public.
Consideration of the bill by the
full membership of the senate judi
ciary committee was scheduled to
come up on Monday morning. 1t was
reported by subcommittee last
week.
Besides the six pledged senators
who asked that heir names not be
publicized, substantial number of
other senators have given informal
assurance of their support, or have
been pledged to the bill in previous
congresses, the national committee
said on Wednesday.
Sixteen of the so are associated
with Sen. Pepper and Sen. Fergu-
son in the senate bipartisan steer
ing committee.
"Arguments against the consti-
tutionality Of abolishing the poll
tax by congressional enactment
have not stood up in two previous
senate judiciary committee re-
ports" Mrs Kathryn Shryver., sec
retary of the national committee.
"They were further weakened when
the governor Of Alabama, in his ad-
dress to the 1915 legislature, stated
unequivocally that the poll tax is a
condition and not a qualification
of voting. That has been the posi-
ton Of the national committee since
the first bill to abolish the poll tax
was introduced by the late congress-
man, Lee Geyer of California"
The bill passed the house last
spring with a substantial majority.

SCHOOL STRIKE SPREADS TO CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Oct. l (ANP)-
White high school students of two
local high schools followed the pat
tern of Gary's anti-Negro strikers
by demanding separate school build
ings for white and Negro students.
Taking the lead of students of
Froebel High school in Gary, Ind,
white students of Morgan Park
High school signed a petition de-
manding that the local board of ed
ucation erect separate schools for
students Of the two races after re-
fusing to report to their classes.
They were dissuaded from continu>
ing their strike by the eloquence of
the Rev. Glenn Harding, white, as
sistant minister of the Morgan Park
Methodist church.
Talking to the students bare
headed in the rain, he said:
"Your older brothers were fight
ing overseas against just this sort
Of thing. If you go ahead with this
kind Of strike, remember you are
striking against the constitution of
the United States .
A group of $50 Englewood high
school students, led by Carl Gia-
francisco, told George Cassell, as
sistant superintendent of local high
schools, their trouble. Cassell adj
vised them to take up the matter
with their alderman through their
parents. After the meeting, Gia-
francisco said the student strikers
won't go back to school until con-
ditions are settled, or until we hear
what the school board is going to do
about it.
Meanwhile, the school situation
assumed magnitude to attract the
attention Of Mayor Edward ]. Kel-
ly and members of his Mayors Com
mittee. "The school children of Chi
cago have gone to school together
for a long time. They will continue
to do so. Chicago will stand square

parents and students should see
to it that there is no break in school
attendance. This is the time for
calm and deliberate spirit among
our people dedicated to democracy
without compromise.
Legal action against approx
mately $50 strikes has been ordered
by the Gary Board of Education.
Richard Nuzum, principal of Froe-
bel, has been ordered to expel all
students 16 years old and older and
to bring legal action against the
parents. He reported that 600 white
students and $50 Negro students
are in attendance at the school.
Joe Smith, 17-year-old zoot suit

fled as the student strike leaders in
