BY HUGH FULLERTON

GREENWOOD LAKE, N. J., June 6.-Three observers at Billy Conn's training session yesterday expressed widely divergent opinions on al
 most everything they saw - except that Billy looked very sharp Al Hcoseman, taking day off from his duties as Joe Louis sparring partner. was tEe object of most of the questioning "He looks very good, but he didn't convince me- said Al. :. Would he say if he had observed any mistakes by Conn or would he make any comparison te- tween the men who will fight for the heavyweight title in two weeks?

THE NEGRO PEOPLE IN
AMERICA by Herbert Apih-
eker. International Publishers.
3el 9TH Ave-. New York. N. X.
80 PIP.
This booklet is a critique of
Gunnar Myrdals An American
Dilemma with an introduction
by Doxey A. Wilkerson. Herbert
AptheKer, author OF the booklet,
is quite an authority on the Ne
gro question in the United States
having written a half dozen
books on the subject. including
THE Negro in the Civil War.
THE Negro in the American Re
volution," American Negro
Slave Revolts,' and others.
The reading OF this critque inn
mediately prompts one to read
again, the impressive two vol
ume work by Myrdal. entitled
"An American Dilemma" or TO
read il for the first time If one
has not already done so. This.
however. is not review of
American Dilemma, but OF its
critique.
Aptheker'S conclusive sum
mary accuses Myrdals phloso-
ply of being superficial and err
roneous. his historiography de
monstrably false, his ethics vi
cious and, therefore his analysis
week. mystical and dangerous. :
The principal criticism OF
MYrdal's study. according TO
Apiheker is that he has posed
the race problem as a moral
problem rather than an eco
nonic problem. AS Apiheker
goes into this criticism. one is
apt TO note a trace of Marxisi
philosophy in Apiheker's opin-
ions.
He accuses Myrdal's work of
being very misleading he gives
him credit. however for produc-
ing some keen and interesting
insights in the minds of middle
and upper class whites and Ne
grocs. and doing an eXhausting
piece Of research work. His cri-
ticism is in the way it is pre-
sented.
Even Myrdals choice of a Ii
tie. American Dilemma comes
in for its share Of criticism too

fortunate experience Of FEPC

present real arguments-not for
appeasement-but for recogni-

broth conjured from Ignorance,
Fear, Stupidity and Reprisal.
Thus, great emphasis has been
placed upon the elements of in
depreciation, education, concilia-
ton and persuasion, in the Laws
of the three states. II is manda-
tory that the administrator, IN
each instance, make every rcs-
sonable effort TO settle COM
