Romeo and Juliet" may be pro-
duced next season with a mixed cast
starring Hilda Simms, now fea-
tured in "Anna Lucasta".
That idea is credited to Harry
Wagstaff Gribble, the man who is
responsible for the success of
"Anna Lucasta" and the discovery
of Hilda Simms, and Frederick
O'Neal, a representative of the
American Negro theatre, while the
pair were discussing Shakespear-

dramatically present the funda-

the renowned Montagues and Ca

presented as an Italian family

Georgia primaries without vio-
lating rights guaranteed by the
constitution of the United States.
Lets be honest with ourselves
I'd admit the obvious facts. The
emocratic primary in Georgia is
tate institution; there is nothing
private about it. 1t absolutely con-
trolls the election of all state Off
GERS. And exclusive of Negroes
from it, solely because of their
color, is therefore in direct viola
ton of the federal constitution. We
have a theory that no people ever
went wrong by doing right. And this
thing that Judge Davis has decided
must be done in Georgia is right.
''The right of the citizen-white,
black or yellow-to vote is funda-
mental right of democracy. The
question really is whether the
people of Georgia are going to make
democracy effective in this state.
We have an idea that they are, be-
cause deep in their souls they know
they ought. And they want to do the
right thing.
Moreover, in our opinion they
have nothing to fear from doing it.
Negroes will divide on public issues
like white people and will react like
other ordinary human being to the
responsibilities of citizenship. We
need to get rid of our foolish fears
and make up our minds to practice
the preachments of democracy"

The Public Disapproves

 Seventy-nne per cent of those asked by polSerS Saio they were in favor of making arbitration between employ CTS and unions compulsory Seventy cent favored crea ton of special courts before which could be argued disputes involving labor and it's employers Apparently the general public going farther than does tne Hatch bi before Congress which Ol Io in the street caught in the middle or the current wage disputes makes whole lot ot sense
 Labor leaders want part of even more temperate legislation and lobby has thus far been succeSs1u III it's efforts to prevent congressional action on bills Whc they oppose It begins to look though Congress listened
 little more closely the labor lobby than it does to the great mass of citizens who neither employers or union members but just plain Americans hoping to get some or the things they've been waiting for long time
 Most business men suffered during preWar years pe- cause of the of few who insisted on flying n the face of public welfare and provoked legal curbs for ther excesses It is entirely possible that the justified demands of Labor will be sacrificed similarly before public resent the greedy nSiStence of some union leaders TOT more than their just share and the drastic and lnconSde ate methods of securing that share.

at the creation of the earth had dore pretty good job He had taken of all the big things and had seen to it that they would work all right without too much worry to man himself.
 But lot of the little things the Archangel Michael didn't take too much trouble to work out in detail believing it would be just well for man to figure those things out for himself The result that sometimes got himself in trouble There fights, and every once in while one of the wandering angels would come back and report to the Archangel Michael, Things down on earth don't look good They're having another war down there and killing each other off"
 The Archangel Michael would always pass this over. Its good earth' he would say, and mans Fundamentally all right. Give him little time and he'll get it."
 That went for after war, but still man didn't seem to learn. Finally there war so big that nearly everybody in it and it looked though man really was going to destroy himself This time even the Archangel Michael was worried.
 "II fix that" he said after thinking it over a while. Tn the past has always been getting himself in trouble the little things. Let's give him something big to work Let's give him little tiny bit of the Creation itself Let's let him find the power that lies in the atom and play with that for while It will be mans last chance. He'll either lick it, or 1t will lick him"
 An anonymous young scientist, at Los Alamos, N M, has in more serious vein summed up the whole issue in a few words that pack awful wallop:
 'The just ended" he says, lis the last victory
 "If it Is not the last war, 1t is the thelast war"
 Think that over.

tuay recovered his equilibrium and used his press conferences effectively when it to marshaling public opinion for his treaty to outlaw war.
 Henry l. Stimson, the next Secretary of State was also punctiously careful to hold press confer enceS five or six times week. Stimson, too, staged rough and tumble debates with the press, but some times remarked that in the erd he got more out of press conferences than newsmen because it gave him a barometer of what the public thinking.
 Cordell Hull, who followed Stimson, also con- tinued the tradition of regular press conferences Hull, it is true was i'll for long periods but during his absence conferences hold regularly by the Acting Secretary of State, Sumner Welles. or Act ing Secretary Ed Stettinius. The latter when he became Secretary of State, leaned backward to skip press conference.
 Today, however, it is different. Jimmy Byrnes who passonately loves the phrase Freedom of the Press" simply hates press conferences. His aides almost have to hog-te him to get him into the diplomatic reception room where for 20 years Sec- retaries of State have faced the friendly cross-fre of newsmen.
 Byrnes at first, excused himself on the ground that he too busy learning American foreign affairs, he cut down press conferences from five or six to one week Following this, he ordered newsmen to be seated instead of standing around the large conference table He requires some news men to use the same seat each week. This is the first time in history that such regimentation has been required The idea is that Byrnes then spot according to the location of their chairs, the identity of the men who quiz him.
 Last week, Secretary of State Byrnes, looking grim and peulant, finally the press. It not a meeting conducive to informing the American public at time when the American people probably need information on foreign affairs more than before

 At present they are permitted to export 100000 truck tires and 100000 passenger tires during the last quarter of this year They would Ike to exporS a lot more. In the first place, they don't have to worry about OPA ceiling prices when selling abroad Secondly, they can build up their postwar markets by getting in the ground floor
 So they would rather sell more tires abroad. But if they do, they sell less tires at home.

 World peace is not just hobby with the West Virginia coal man, though he describes it as such. It is burning ideal self-made business man who now operates two coal mines employing more than 500 workers Davis has made many speeches at his own expense throughout the country urging a Government Department of Peace.

Jurisdictional Labor Czar?

Labor Secretary Schweenbach suggested to labor unions that they might find solution of urisdictonal dis putes once and for a by hiring "czar such the ton picture industry and professional baseball now have
 If there is possibility that an ner-unon czar could accomplish what his movie and baseball countepart have then the plan IS an excellent one But It seems to us that the suggestion should come from within organized labor rather than from a friend of labor in government
 When Judge Kenesaw M LandiS appointed High Commissioner of Baseball in 1920 and Will Hays asked to head the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors As socation years later both the sport and the entertain ment industry were in the public doghouSe
 The Black SoX scandal of 1919 had shocked and sad dened the sportsfoowing public And when MT Hays over both the movie coony private lives and the studios products were in such mess of bad morals and bad taste as to create real of popular indignation.
 Both industries-if they may be called Such-quickly the light They realized that their ivehods and very existence both dependent public favor threatened Their first to have been to recapue public confidence before working elaborate machinery for end ing their troubles and preventing their recurrence
 So each selected wel-known figure of unqueStioned integrity from outside it's organization Baseball first sought the services of former President Taft before engag ing Judge Lands) Each then drew up rigid set of rules and gave it's authoritarian power to enforce them
 These far,sghted moves by baseball and Hollywood achieved their purpose admirably And perhaps the most important point of the whole story is that Judge Lands and Mir Hays had remarkably little to do They made big money in easy jobs and seldom had to exercise their sweep ing authority Once the club and studio heads had imposed set of rules upon themselves, they bent backward to live up to them.
 Organized labor might ponder this story it applies to jursdiconal strife As President Truman told union Representatives at the Management Conference, nothing destructive of public confidence these dis putes The American people have little understanding of them, and less sympathy with them at time when the whole industrial situation gives cause for legitimate worry
 But government appointment of an nter-labor czar holds little promise MT. SchWeenbachs suggestion can bear no fruit until the striving unions realize that all labor

 AS a civic project, Dallas decided to organize a Symphony Orchestra It went about the project fully and ntelligently When time came to select a conductor, it canvassed the great organizations and consulted the recognized masters It Leopold Stokowski who recommended a sensitive young H- onist of his own celebrated Philadelphia Orchestra The young mans name-he was but in his 20's then was Jacques Singer.
 Jacques Singer went to Dallas He assembled such musicians as were available. He trained housewives. stenographers lawyers, professors, even football players in the other instruments necessary He built inspired and led great orchestra that was the pride of the Southwest, and which rated by competent critics as of the major symphony orchestras of the United States.
 Then came the war; Jacques Singer was offered 8 captaincy in Special Services, but he happened to have some very deep convictions about the equality of sacrifice and the responsibilities of American citizenship. He was unmarried, able-bodied. He felt his honest responsibility to offer his life as a private able bodied shooting soldier And that's the way he went-with of the first of the Texas out fits

X-RAY ANNIVERSARY
(New York Times)

Fifty years ago this month Prof. Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen an nounced his discovery of X-rays and erected Q "~~ @'' ! lives in the memory of older phy- siciSts. 1u5 mo- ,.--~---O ---4- Gazette hoped that nothing would be done with this revolting dis covery";; in the New Jersey As sembly a bill was introduced to for bid the use of X-rays in opera glasses; London firm advertised X-ray proof clothing for modest women; a romantic feature writer of that more careless journalistic day that that the problem of soul photography had been solved and that it would be possible to inn press anatomical diagrams directly into the brains of thick headed medi- cal students. What the X-rays have actually accomplished is just as startling. A powerful diagnostic and therapeutic instrument has been given to physicians, with the re- suit that there is a surer control ot tuberculosis, cancer and other dis eases; industry detected internal flaws in materials; the biologists are able to produce nonstrosities in fruit flies and thus to acquire new light on heredity; the physicists have found it necessary to revise their conception of matter and to embark on a series of experiments which have led them directly to the release of atomic energy.
 It is generally supposed that Roentgen made his discovery &C., cidentally. True he noticed that a piece of barium platinocyanide paper fuoresced when nearby shielded Crookes tube was in action and that he began to investigate. But he would have made his dis covery without that accident for the simple reason that he had been methodically studying radiation from what are now called dis charge tubes" The mathematical work of Clark Maxwell had indi- cated that there must be rays which are like light but which we can not see, and Hertz had experiment tally proved that the light waves we now use in radio belong to this category. Roentgen was bent on completing the picture. The inter- nal logical necessities of the prob lem demanded attention and it was to these that he addressed himself. It is no compliment to him that his discovery is attributed to accident.
 New X-ray machines of a power undreamed of fifty years ago have been developed. and more will come out of the engineering laboratories. The science of X-ray spectroscopy has given the chemist and metal lurgist a new command over mat

Office windows went up. People sat lodges. Street stopped Motorists turned off their engines. The ovation was terrific. So the War Bond response:
 
 Finally, the outfit was shipped to the Pacific, and there no time for music then. Here Jacques Singer crawed into the foxhoes, with his carbne and his grenades He had three and half years and three bronze battle stars of it.
 I had heard before the story of the first music on the Corregidor, and had heard hard bitten vet erans describe it as the most moving moment of their lives What didn't know was that the musi- clans were Jacques famed 38th Division Band. and that he had led them.
 The big rock was still a shambes. Wreckage and Japanese dead were everywhere The band was moved in despite the small fire of Japs still holed in caves in the face of the Rock Carrying its instru- ments, but still in full battle gear 1t hauled in trucks from the battered dock to the top of the Rock where old barracks and the hospital stood.
 Tired men seemed to come all at once from everywhere-the walking wounded in their bandages, the hurt and sick who asked to be lifted close enough to and hear, the exhausted, sweat-stained GI's fresh from mopping up the tired and dusty guerlas who came out of the brush to lean on their rifles It great and sudden audience of war-weary men. Jacques Singer gave the down beat. His band It's carbines the ground at its feet burst into the crashing chords of "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" Men who were there tell me the entire Rock seemed to trembe with the emotion that gripped every heart.
 Why am I writing this? Because my friend, Jacques Singer walked into my office the other day. Out of the service now he came in to say hello. He's thinner quiet, and in his eyes is that look of every veteran who laid in a foxhole with death He's taking the rest he deserves and afford and says he has plans, but like all veterans he has come out with dream He'd like to form an All-Veterans Symphony Orchestra, and take 1t out to the people the people in the little towns in the faraway places.
 He says the Armys little fellow, the plain CT, taught him the greatest lesson of this musical career That's that he-the GI-was hungry for music, good music, oo even If he'd never realize 1t. It's Jacques dream to give it fully and freely to him and to hts people.
