WASHINGTON, July 18.-The
senate and the iouse still are at
loggerheads over the atomic
bomb bill.
The senate wants the five-man
commission, which will supervise
atomic energy in this country, to
be composed entirely of civilians,
while house members insist on
the armed services being repre-
scented on the commission.
A good many house members
declared that they are against
any kind of bill dealing with the
atomic bomb.

AMBER" COMES CLEAN FOR THE SCREEN
By GENE HANDSAKER

HOLLYWOOD II approached the subject with all the delicacy at my command. How, asked Philip Dunne, had be gone about laun- dering Forever Amber" for the screen?
 The towering film writer regard ed me through horn-rimmed spec tacles with dignified reproach be- fitting Harvard man, which he is, or Sunday School superinten- dent, which he is not.
 There's a popular misconcep- tion that Forever Amber is a highly pornographic book" he said. Actually it is fine histori- cal novel in which sex is a very minor and incidental element"
 Naturally some of that will fall by the wayside in the process of condensing a novel of some 900 pages into a movie of perhaps an hour and half.
 And how will the residue be presented? Dunne smiled.
 By techniques, such as the fadeout, that are as old as the Nnovies themselves"
 Forever Amber" I could see really has given the movies no new problems at all.
 The scripter assigned the for midable task of transcribing this best-Seller to the screen is 38 years old, six feet, three inches tall, slender and athletic-looking, with freckles and short-cropped sandy hair. He spent four war years in his native New York City in charge of producing movies for the OWI's overseas use.

Memorial Resolution
By Corcoran Trustees
|Lauds 6. f. Hamilton

At a recent meeting of the Board
Of Trustees of the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art, colleagues of the late
George E. Hamilton, president of
the institution at the time of his
death on May "a, adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
On May "a, 1916, Mr.. George
Ernest Hamilton departed this life
after long illness. For 13 years
he had been the president of the
Board of Trustees of the Corcoran
Gallery and for the past 20 years
had served as it's counsel His wis
dom, experience and broad culture
successfully carried us through the
most trying period of our existence.
Mr.. Hamilton was elected to the
Board of Trustees December II,
1915, chosen second vice president
April 9, 1881, and made first vice
president almost Immediately there
after. On January Is, 1888, he was
unanimously chosen president and
occupied that office until his death.
Throughout his long life he had
been interested in artistic and edu-
cational matters and this, combined
with his unusual business ability
and great legal talents, made him
an invaluable adviser and admin
istrator. His sterling character and
personal charm endeared him to all
of the members of the board, our
patrons and the personnel of the
gallery. In his death, we have
lost a wise counselor and esteemed
friend.
Be it resolved that the board
hereby expresses its profound sor-
row in his death and the great loss
which the gallery, the community
and the bar have sustained: that
we hereby extend to Mrs. Hamil-
ton and the other members of his
family our deepest sympathy in
their great affliction, and direct
that a copy of this resolution be
recorded in the minutes and trans
mitted to them.

Veteran Pays
Sll.35 For Melon

1t wasn't the high cost of liv-
ing that brought the high price of
a watermelon to the exorbitant
figure of $ll.35, but the high cost
of a Negro vet seeking justice in
a land where white supremacy"
reigns.
According to the vets own
story, supported by eye witnesses,
he went into Sheriff. & Hopson
grocery store, 242l Wright avenue
and purchased a watermelon. He
took the melon out and when he
cut it, it was not fit to eat. He
returned with melon and asked
the manager for another one that
was good. The manager refused
him and he asked for the refund
of his money. only to be told to
"get out of the store"
Inc manager, atvoi ding to the
vet, told him he bought the melon
from a man from Dallas, and he
could not give him his money
back, but if he had bought it from
Hope, he would return his money.
The vets insistance on getting
his money back or another melon,
aroused the ire of the clerk in
the store, who told him he was
one OF those smart - 'niggers',
and came after the vet with a
knife. The veteran had fought
on foreign soil, and faced all
kinds of white faces with weapons
paid no attention to the clerk, his
weapon or his threats of violence,
but went over the watermelon
pile, picked up a melon and told
them where he was taking it.
Shortly after the veteran
reached his destination he had
given the storekeeper, the police
came for him. He asked the off
Ger did they have warrant. The
officer is said to have answered
in the negative. The veteran
soon found out that police in
Arkansas didn't need warrents tc
arrest Negroes.
Total cost of watermelon $11.35
Advertised price $l.35; trying tt
get justice $1,000.
