Review of Adalnic's
Latest Book

"A Nation of Nations was pub
lished in the Cleveland Press by
it's book reviewer, Emerson
Price:
Louis Adamic neatly disposes
of a great deal of fallacious
thinking on the subject. of
American culture in his new
book, A NATION OF NATIONS
$3.50. Moreover, this deeply
penetrating study of American
life establishes an admirable
outline for large chunks of
American history which need
either to be added or more
plainly emphasized in the text
books.
Beginning with that foreign
err Christopher Columbus, the
author enumerates the many i'm
portant contributions of peoples
from every section of Europe to
the culture of this nation. Thus,
he brings both substance and
balance to our history which
if not from design, then from
stupidity-have previously been
''Mr. Adannic employs both
logic and evidence in punctur.
ing the euriously illogical notion
that ours is a predoninantly
Anglo-Saxon culture. You must
not suppose from this that he
neglects the Anglo-Saxon influ'
ence, which, certainly, has been
vast. But he does establish that
it has been the fusion of races
from which our distinctly Amer.
lean culture has emerged.
with large sections of the
book devoted to Cleveland's s
population, the author recounts
some fairly recent history fanni
liar to most Clevelanders. He
tells of the part played in ex
posing the cemetery racket here
(Cleveland) by Gus Korach, Slo
venian-born American. He also
tells of the part played by The
Press, which won a Pulitzel
prize .
Copies of his book may be Sc
cured at our office or by writing
directly to Mr.. Adamic at Mil
ford, New Jersey.

ALABAMA OFFICIAL DEMANDS
PULLMAN SEGREGATION

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 18
(ANP)-A request for travel pol
icy as regards Negro and white
passengers in coach and Pullman
cars has been made to Is railroads
by Chairman Gordon Persons of
the state public service commission
following a Jim crow complaint of
w. H. Jernigan of Mobile, manager
of the Merchant Credit association.
Jernigan in letter to the COM
mission said that Negroes and
whites were not segregated in a
Pullman in which he recently rode,
enjoyed the same facilities and had
full use of other services.
''In the car" Jernigan's letter
said, (which was occupied primar-
lily by white people, there were six
or more colored passengers, having
tables set up for playing cards, and
having the porter bring them
cracked ice for drinks"
His letter complained further
that "they were up and around the
car and were using the same toilet
facilities as the white passengers.
SPSC Chairman Persons said
that he had written the heads of the
Is railroads operating in Alabama
for statement of official policy,
and reminding them of Alabama's
jimcrow laws.

ence on the professional stage, is
a 1914 graduate of Smith college.
She studied modern dancing while

of being elected president of the
student council while there and was
the only Negro ever elected presi-
dent of the house of representa-
