NROBABLY the biggest question
- with the RadZiwill sisters is: Did
the feud fly out of the window
when poverty came in through the
door?
Princess Isabel Radziwill and her
husband, Prince Charles, brought
poverty into the picture. Formerly
the worlds richest landowners,
they're living in a tiny cottage on the
estate of Lord Shrewsbury in Eng
land with their once-vast possessions,
including Polish castles and thousands
Of acres, gobbled up by the Russians.
But Isabells sister Dolores-or
Dolly, as her friends call her-stlll
has wealth. Her assets weren't in
land, but in cash, and she could help,
if she would But will she?
That's the question Isabel is ask
ing herself as she peers timidly but
hopefully across the English Channel
toward Paris, where Dolly is com
fortably ensconCed. Yet the need OF
asking 1.-THE mere fact of having
TO view her sister as possible
source of aids no doubt more shat
tering to her than the loss OF any
number of castles and acres.
For il opens speculation on
whether she may have lost her pride,
as well as her property.
Though so far she has given no
statement on the subject, Dolly surely
is aware of the manner in which the
war has altered her relations with
Isabel. Nor-human nature being
what il isCwOuld il be odd If the
awarenesS gave her just the tiniest
bit of satisfaction.
For these two sisters have been
feuding for years. The acres Isabel
now has lost-at least a good share
OF thcm-wcrc one Of the reasons
for the feud; another was Dolly's
current, and third, husband, Mogens
Tvede, a Dane who at one time had
lived in New York and had success

fully practiced his profession as an
architect among the society people of
the metropolis.
When Dolly was married TO TVede
in September of 1882 i'm Paris, she
was said to have had the slimmest
figure in the French capital, weigh
ing less than 90 pounds which some
of the wags said lis less than the
combined weight of her celebrated
Jewel collection"
After the civil and religious mar
riage ceremonies, which were wit
messed by many notables, the couple
went to live in Dolly's private villa
in Marseilles.
It's ar old rule of the RadZiwills
that land be inherited only by male
members of the clan. Lacking a
Detroit evening times., 1946-01-26

When he was found dead Of an
undisclosed cause In his bed oAW
morning in 1927. police discover
that the previous night he had visited
the notorious Martha Dalbane, who
was called the Death Flower be-
cause of the fatal effect she seemed
TO have on her ardent admirers.
Mile. Dalbane was arrested, but
the only charge against her that
stood up was the comparatively minor
one of possessing morphine.
Since Leon and Dolly had no son,
their Polish estates. on the Princes
death, passed to his nearest male kin,
who was Isabel's husband, Charles.
Dolly wasn't broke by any means
she inherited the bulk of her hus-
bands liquid assets but she didn't
relish the idea of Isabells lordlng II
over land that once had been hers.
That was the basis of the feud on
her side.
The basis, on her sisters side, was
laid down five years later, when Dolly
married Mogens Tvede. Isabells OBJ
iections to Tvede were: Cd that he
wasn't a RadZiwill, (2) that he was
not only a commoner but sort OF
artist TO boot, and, (3) that he was
IelduNely pour.
Indeed, the shocking rumor even
got about that Dolly had given him
million dollars as a wedding present,
though persons familiar with her fl
nancial habits doubted it.
In any case, the feud was now
equi-sided and complete. And so 1t
remained.
Through all the vicissitudcs OF the
past years, the sisters have gone
their separate ways, exchanging not
one sisterly word.
Now that the cause Of Dolly's
grudge. the land, has been wiped out.
and now that Isabel is scarcely in a
position 10 indulge hers, Will the rup-
ture at last be healed? 2
If Dolly extends helping hand
as, according to rumOr, she may-r
probably will be.
However, those who discounted
the rumor of her million-dollar gift
TO Tvede are inclined TO doubt this
later rumor, too-and for the same
reasons.

right to live where we please.
The lady from California is
trying to build herself and her
paper into giant proportions in
her chosen field, and that is her
right. She has taken on every
Negro paper in the country, and
that is her right, but it should
not be source of comfort to her
to know that her most unrealis-
tic public scolding has provided
a springboard for Pegler to libel
Negro soldiers with these words
g. the majority of the Negro
papers during this war so under
mined the natioral loyalty of
Negro servicemen that they be-
came Enthusiastically responsible
for episodes humiliating to their
own racial clientele and tragic to
many individual Negroes thus
seduced to commit grievous mill
tary crimes" That statement,
Mr.. Pegler and dear lady, is
DAMN LIE. The records of the
Owl will show that every Negro
paper in the country used vol
umes of its material to build
morale and loyalty throughout
the war period.
If Pegler means that by carry
ing reports of white peoples
discrimination and curtailment of
Negroes rights at home made the
boys at the front angry he should
remember that both himself and
the lady from California sub
scribe to the belief that, Truth
is always dignified." The influ-
ence that the NeNgro press ex-
erted over our boys at the front
is normal influence that the
presentation of truth would ordi-
narily have. None of the white
papers, committed to the prac-
tise, deleted the word Negro
from any of its crime stories in
Difference to better relationship
between the races during the
war.
Whatever Pegler might say, and
howevermuch the lady from Cali
fornia may speak her shame Of
her people, the condition of the
Negro press reflects accurately
the condition of the Negro race
in the American scene. You
can't straighten out the press

problem. Some of us may grow

nothing will help except sincere
hard work on all fronts. Telling
the white man how badly off we
are won't help, He knows the
score already, and he'll only use
our TRADES against ourselves to
push us farther into the back
ground, The Negro press grew
before the advent of Pegler and

will survive and continue to grow
despite them.

WESTBROOK PEGLER QUOTES
THE LADY FROM
CALIFORNIA

Columnist Westbrook Pegler
recently made his annual criti-
cism of the Negro press, ] can
not say that | am an admirer of
Pegler's work, though | must adj
NIT healthy respect for his
success in making fortune by
parading his luminosity as a fear
less presentation of the truthful,
and therefore more dangerous
side of the news. Pegler, the
man | do not know, and cannot
therefore indulge in nor appre-
ciate the personal attacks made
upon him by those who find it
necessary to violently disagree
with the way he has selected to
made a living. Pegler the writer
is a journalistic freak, sensa-
tionalist with a positive anti com
plex. That he is anti-Negro is
the point behind his yearly pill
grimage to the other side of the
tracks.
Like so many others who dare
not venture forth on their own
in attacking the Negro, Pegler
uses quotes from Negro source
He has fallen into the habit OF
citing the statements of an esti-
mable lady editor of a Los An
geles tabloid that enjoys an in
innate circulation, and which
must have had itself in mind
when it said editorially. Negro
newspapers are powerless be-
cause the men and women behind
them and on them lack the power
of skill With the AFRO
ganee and superiority of a con-
firmed racist, Pegler chose to
disdain the qualifications of the
many highly-trained publishers
and editors of Negro newspapers,
and selected hte lady from Cali
fornia and her cozy little sheet
as his ideal for achievement in
the Negro newspaper field.
1t is of no interest to PegleI
that there are papers that have
been owned and run by Negro
families for generations, and that
perfect institutions because, hi!
rantings and the scolding re
proofs of the lady from Califor

Safety Movement

The agricultural safety movement
was started in 1912. when agricul.
tural leaders determined that farm
ers were paying too high a price for
injuries and fires that could be pre-
vented. II was then estimated that
more than $4,000 farm people are
killed In farm accidents yearly and
about a million and a nalf suffer
disabling injuries. About 80 mil.
lion dollars worth of farm property
Is destroyed in fires, while the total
annual cost to agriculture for injW
ries and fires is estimated to be on.
billion dollars
