cent-a-pound boost in butter prices

mended by Secretary of Agriculture

small county-seat town in Iennes-
see. Remke tells the affects OF dis
elimination on whites and Negroes
alike. "The Negroes of the south,
he relates, "Were treated IN much
the same manner as the farmers
treated their horses and mules.
When there was work to be done the
farmers would bring in their horses
and mules from grazing and feed
them heavily on corn and oats and
hay, but as soon as the job was~done
they were again turned out to grass.
The Negroes in most parts OF the
south met the same fate =.
Pulling no punches, the writer de-
scribes a selfish experiment that
helped both himself and others, and
at the same time opened his eyes to
outmoded traditions that perpetu-
ate poverty and hate. ''The old view
point" he declares, wherein hu-
man rights are subservient to prop
erty rights is to be regarded as not
even selfish because it is self de-
structive and most expensive to
those who live it most"

Shortages of butter exist in many
parts of the country. Production

reported today that the December
output of butter was 80 per cent

NEW MEDICAL SCHOOL seen
As AID TO NEGRO HEALTH

KSON, Miss, Mar. a
ANP)-Improvement of Negro
health in this state was seen last
week in the plan to create a four
year medical school as a depart
ment of the university of Mississip-
pi after the establishment and
placing into operation of "com-
prehensive statewide hospital pro-
gram"
Reluctance to junk the old two
year medical course now given at
the University of Mississippi in
favor of the four-year medical
school was evidenced by the
lengthy debate and final compro-
mise amendment to the original bill,
H. B. 72 by a 116 to 16 vote. Pro-
ponents of the new medical college
were defeated by four-vote mar
gin, SO to 65, but the compromise
leaves the operation of the college
in an indefinite status.
Another bill, creating a hospital
commission to handle the entire
program of disqualification, is ex-
pected to tell when the four-year
medical school department will be
established at the University of
Mississippi. The added two years
will be taught in central hospital
college scheduled to be located here.

that in her law practice she had a

Mrs. Mankin talked briefly on the
Negro question. She did not am
plify her statement that she be-
lieved in fair and square deal for
Negroes.
Of the FEPC she was hazy, her
excuse being that she had been
blacked out from national affairs
for the past few months but if the
FEPC was as bad a piece of legis-
lation as she had been led to believe
from reading newspaper accounts,
she opposed it. But first, she said,
she would have to read the state
ment.
Poll tax she considered a south
ern states question, saying that the
people of various states admitted
it was wrong and they would in
turn repeal it.
Already, the newly elected rep

being a short term special election

GIN REJECTS ARBITRATION WITH UNION

DETROIT, March 4.-General
Motors corporation, rejecting arbi-
tration of the 103-day old strike,
asked that it's 175,0O0 idle CIO
United Auto Workers be granted
an opportunity to vote return to
work with an 1812-cent hourly
wage increase.
The union Immediately charged
the corporation does not "dare"
face arbitration and termed a sug-
gested secret back-to-work vote
an "unwarranted interference" in
UAW-CIO affairs.
The Auto Workers union had
suggested Saturday that it's men,
bership return to their jobs at the
1812-cent figure pending an arbi-
tration settlement of it's 1872
cent demand and other disputed
issues.
In it's lengthy reply, GIN told
the union there is OBVIOUSLY no
need of arbitrating the wage is
sue since the 1812-cent increase
would conform to the national
wage policy, and the pay pattern
of the auto industry.
Then the corporation suggested:
Zone of your justifications for
the strike has been that the en-
ployes voted for it in an NLRB
election. Accordingly, in the event
that, after further consideration,
your delegates again reject our
latest offer, we propose that the
NLRB, or some other independent
agency, conduct a secret vote
among our employees to determine
whether they wish to return to
work under an agreement embody-
ing our latest offers"
President R. J. Thomas of the
UAW-CIO termed this proposal "an
unwarranted interference in the
Affairs of a democratic union" and
added that it 'is probably an in
fraction of the National Labor Re-
lations act."
'"They dare not face arbitration"
Thomas asserted, "for they know
they would lose with any fair
minded arbitrator"
The corporation, in the 1000
word statement signed by Vice
President Harry w. Anderson, said
it has no intention of granting
wage increase greater than that
given by it's competitors.
The union, in asking 1912 cents
hourly as recommended by presi-
Dental fact-finding board, contends
that even with this increase GINS
average wage will remain below
that of Ford and Chrysler, the
other members of the industry's big
three.

"From The New World"

DR.. Benjamin Swain, conductor of
the North Carolina Symphony Orches-
ira, chose we'll when he put Dvorak's
New World symphony in the preferred
position on the orchestra's program in
Wilmington. We hear it too seldom.
We know it's beauty too little, save,
perhaps, the Largo which in part has
been popularized as the song Going
Home"
When Dvorak came to this country
from his native Bohemia to head the
New York Conservatory, he is said to
have been astounded that American
composers (save Stephen Foster), turn
ed to Europe for their themes and ig-
nored Negro melodies and Indian
chants. 1t was his constant plea to his
pupils to know and use and develop the
native music of their homeland.
The subject preyed on him SO steadi-
ly, and his advice was received with
such general Indifference, he decided
to turn his own talent to utilizing them
as the basis of a new symphony-his
fifth-and retired to a little Bohemian
community in Pennsylvania to work on
it. AS a result the first movement is
woven around a spiritual and the third
an Indian chant, both forsooth with a
decided Bohemian accent but lovely
beyond compare.
Make no mistake: though conduc-
tors include this New World symphony
on their programs less often than they
should, it is the creation of sheer
genius. Under Doctor Swalin's baton
tonight Wilmingtonians not present will
be missing something thoroughly worth
while.

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM e. MCKINNEY
Americas Gard Authority

Here is a problem that I think
you will enjoy. You a bid il
any way you want to, just bearing
in mind that South plays the con.
tract at six spades.
The opening lead is won in
dummy with the king of spades,
and South must play his queen on
the king. He must now lead the
queen Of hearts, and when East
covers with the king. South trumps
with the ace of spades. He goes
over to dummy with the diamond
and leads the ten Of hearts. East
covers with the jack and declarer
trumps with the jack of spades.
Now he leads the deuce of spades
and throws East in the lead with
the ten-spot.
Whatever East returns is won in
dummy and the balance of the
trumps cashed. On the last trump
lead West cannot protect all three
suits. He must unguard one OF
them, and when that suit is cashed,
he cannot protect the other two.
Thus he finds himself in a progress
sive squeeze.
Just in case you think there is
another way to make this hand, let
me tip you off that East will not
trump any of those clubs, espe-
cially the first one when it is led
from dummy.
