BLONDE FEvER," MODERN COMEDY,
 NOW AT CAPITOL

When a man old enough to know
 all the answers meets a girl young enough to make him pop the ques- tion, he's got Blonde Fever
 which is the apt title of the very apt little M-G-M attraction at the Capitol Theatre tonight. If you're locking for movie that will take your mind off everything but pleas ant entertainment, Blonde Fever is your dish.
 In it Philip Dorn plays the suavc, sophisticated and fortyish proprietor of a swank restaurant who heart
 begins to play him tricks when very naive-but very blonde and very
 beautiful waitress, in the person of
 charming young newcomer Gloria Grahame, becomes infatuated with him.
 Mary Astor plays Dorn's shrewd, understanding wife, who knows just how to set things right and does so
 with tongue in-cheek and effective 1 ly. Felix Bressart plays a ubiqui- tous waiter in on the plot to bring Dorn back to earth, and Marshall | Thompson, new screen face who typifies the average American young
 swain, is seen as Gloria's sweet
 heart.
 All concerned do an outstanding
 job of making the picture de- lightful, fast-moving farce which
 asks no questions and settles no grave problems. Based on a Ferenc
 Molnar play, Blonde Fever" com
 pines sophistication with down-to-
 earth humor, to make up friendly fresh motion picture.

Negro Students Exchange Plan Studied
Anew By South's Governors
From The DaiIy Clarion Ledger, Jackson,

From The Daily Clarion Ledger, Jackson, Misso
We are clad to note that the Southern Governors Con-
ference has revived consideration of proposed plan under
which the Southern states would pool their higher edu
cation for Negro students The proposal believe, og
mated with Governor Sparks of Alabama and was discuss
ed about year at an earlier meeting OF the oouIher
Governors Conference
Under this plan qualified Negro students from any
Southern state seeking professional education could en-
roll in any college for Negroes supported by any other
Southern state with the home states of such students pay
ing any difference in costs The system thus would provide
for exchange of between the Southern states
Alabama for example has a medical college for Ne
eroes Louisiana has billiard University Mississippi has
agricultural college for Negroes but it must be admitted
that some the other Southern states have better
No Southern has complete facilities for higher
education for coored residents But under this exchange
system Negro students could study almost profession
al in qualified college in Southern state at
the if the college in their home state.
The PLAN by enabling increased enrolment, would
cessate increased support of such state institutions but
would also help each state to finance such increased
port of its colleges for Negroes And the plan would avoid
the necessity of any Southern state having to try
maintain complete facilities for higher education for Me-
gToes, schools and coegI Of law, medicine, agriculture
etc.
The plan seems practical and timely to us and hope
the Southern Governors Conference gives the fav
orable consideration
To participate in such plan Mississippi might
ably be asked to contribute than existing
college for Negroes the SYSTEM but State that
need and responsibility anyway and noted above par
tcpaton in such an exchange program might the
state much money while helping provide adequate
and satisfactory Of higher education for Negroes on
a South-wide basis

Ter race ideas. But Germany was
not alone In her unholy beliefs
and ideologies. The notion that
hurtled Germany into shame and
disaster is too widespread to be
greatly shaken by the collapse Of
| Hitlerism. Hitlerism was symbol
and expression of deep rooted
belief too largely shared by the
millions of today in the uttermost
parts of the earth to be greatly
changed by the uncertain issues of
war and victory
FITTING SEQUEL
The disaster that is visited upon
Germany is fitting sequel to the
master-racism that deluged the
world in misery. The hope Is that
/ the master racists have seen the
handwriting on the wall; the fear
is that they ave not and will con-
sequently persist and thereby in
sure World War III. "Sic semper
tyranis."
Some months ago when Hitler
was pressing to the lips of the Jews
the bitter cup of the bittrest per-
secution the world has known, I
CHANGED to talk to an old rustic
of the rurals and he made the
statement that no nation that per-
secuted the Jews had ever sur
vived. This statement put me to
thinking and have not read any,
thing in history to refute it. But
| this is true not only of the Jews
but wherever nations have turned
prosecutor they have persisted ut
terly; and this forbodes evil
things for master-racism with its
subtle designs of minority perse-
cutions. Ours is a serious victory
because it thrusts upon serious
challenges and unless these are
met in the spirit of Jesus Christ
our peace is lost irretrievably.

today the end of the Japanese

of United States coal to be
shipped to Europe this winter
instead OF his original goal OF
a minimum of 6,00O,O 900 tons.

Mr.. Ickes told a press conference
he did not agree with the estimate
of Gen. Brehon Somervell, chief Of
Army Service Forces, on the amount
of coal available after Army cut
backs. Gen. Somervell said the cut
backs would have 145 900 900 tons in
the next II months. Mr.. Ickes said
this figure included coal used In
making steel for war production.
The Army, Navy and Marine Corps
report that their requirements for
direct consumption of coal for the
coal year are unchanged by the de-
feat of Japan. Mr.. Ickes said. This
includes coal for heating barracks.

Full Employment Bill
As Aid 10 Farmers
Sees Crop Production
Exceeding Demands
Even Without IdIeness
BY J. A. OIEARY,

Secretary OF Agriculture An
derson today gave the Senate
Banking Committee a strong in
dorsement of the full employ
ment bill, pointing out that
American farm production may
exceed the demand even with
full employment a few years
hence.
The committee also had expected
to hear from WAR Mobilization Di-
rector Snyder today, but Chair
man Wagner announced that Mr..
Snyder would appear as the final
witness on the bill September /.
Mr.. Anderson said "every reason
able encouragement" must be given
to private enterprise to produce as
many goods and services. and to
employ as many workers as possible.
He testified, however, that the Coy
ernment should be ready, through
the machinery OF the pending blu.
to step in and supplement private
expenditures whenever those ex-
penditures appear insufficient to
provide fun employment.
Program Termed Essential.
If we are to have full employ
ment, as believe we must have. !"
said the secretary, "the Federal
Government will have to assume the
responsibility for maintaining It.
This bill recognizes that fact"
The bill directs the President to
submit to Congress an annual esti-
mate OF the volume of private busi-
ness and employment in the next
fiscal year. Congress then would
determine by separate legislation
how the Federal Government should
augment the business program to
assure jobs for all available work.

Mr.. Anderson said the mainte-
nance OF full employment will be
essential "if we are to guard against
another period of agricultural de-
preston and low farm income"
More Produced on Less.
In suggesting that even with
every one at work the farms of this
country might produce more than
would be needed, Mr.. Anderson said !:
With current farm technology
the crop land needed to meet pro-
duction requirements in 1850 under
full employment conditions would
be some IL to IA million acres more
than were used in 1914. Allowing,
however, for moderate Improvements
IN technology between now and 1850,
all OF the products required to meet
the probable foreign and domestic
demand at that time under condi-
tions of full employment, could be
produced on 327,000, 900 acres of crop
land, or about % to 30 million acres
less than was used last year. This
suggests the possibility that agricul-
tural production might outrun de-
