DECISION BY COURT

NEW YORK. June 6th-Distin-
guished Americans from all parts
of the United States have tele-
phoned congratulations to the
NAACP on its victory in the US
Supreme Court in the Irene Nor
gan case which prohibits segrega-
ton based on color or race in in
terstate bus travel.
Herbert H. Lehman, former
Governor of New York State and
until recently director of UNRRA
wired:
II am pleased and thoroughly
agree with the decision of the
Supreme Court outlawing segre-
cation on interstate buses. I am
very confident that the law abid-
ing citizens of the states affected
will willingly and fully abide by
this just decision.
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Presi-
dent of the American Jewish Con-
gress, telegraphed:
Rejoice over long deferred de-
cision Supreme Court regarding
interstate buses. Professional Ne
gro baiters will howl, but decent
minded s~outhernors and norther-
nors will approve and rejoice in
just irrepealable decision.
Mark Ethridge, editor of the

excerpt from an editorial in that
newspaper of June 9Th,
I'm a series of memorable de-
cisions, the Supreme Court has
proved its title as the sanctuary
of liberties. One may feel an in
completeness in that the opinion
on the Virginia segregation law
was based on its being a burden
on interstate commerce and that
the case was not decided on the
isue of fundamental right. At that
the opinion on the issue is bound
to be of great effect, serving the
purpose of enhancing human dig

The agency pointed out that
the effect of the support-through

13 million Negro consumers and
other minorities on the success or

matter of fundamental import
ance.
Black market activities are be-
lieved to be flourishing in Negro
communities because many Negro
workers have been and are yet
receiving much higher pay than
ever before and are willing to buy
at cost the articles which
thew could not previously afforc.
These community groups must be

black markets of all kinds are

A large number of commodities

need than ever to have volunteers

BABY,
By Edna Mae Mcintosh

Has your baby been a little more
fretful lately? Perhaps it is toe
warm.
When babies are born during the
winter months, parents are apt to
become so accustomed to dressing
them warmly, they fail to make the
necessary adjustments when spring
arrives.
1t is a scientifically proven fact
that babies produce much more
body heat, in proportion to their
size, than do older children and
adults. This is partly because
their internal body processes go on
at a more rapid rate and partly be-
cause they are so active. Because
of this difference in heat produc-
ton, it is difficult to judge what it
takes to make a baby comfortable.
However, at least a mother can
try to decide whether she would
e comfortable dressed as the baby
is. This is a good starting point
and beyond that, she will have to
use her W good Judgment.
Natures most effective way of
keeping humans cool is through
evaporation of perspiration. This
is taking place constantly, usually
so efficiently that the person is not
conscious of it. Because of this,
it is most important for the baby's
clothes or bedding to fit loosely.
Using lighter weight clothing
and having fewer layers is another
means of keeping the baby cooler
as warm weather approaches.
Adults usually want a little more
water when they're warm. Offering
cooled boiled water more frequent
ly might therefore prove effective
in keeping the baby comfortable.
1t all resolves itself into a prac-
tice of the Golden Rule. Put your
self in the baby's place and act
accordingly.

cover the New York area. That
explains why more Schenley whisky
and Schenley by-products, such as
Carioca Rum, is sold in New York,
than any other brand.
Of even more significance, how
ever, is the fact that the number
one man of this crack sales force
is a Negro, who joined the staff
only nine months ago, and i'm
mediately began establishing all
kinds of new records. He is Reu-
ben j. Patton, a tall. modest, per-
sonable individual, who is extreme
ly conscious of the fact that his
continued success may be the key
to more jobs for members of his
race. The distinction of being the
top-ranking liquor salesman in the
highly competitive New York mar
ket is not as important to Patton
as the possibility of setting an ex-
ample in this particular field OF
endeavor for others to follow. 1t
is no secret that other firms here
are conscious of the job he has
done and consequently realize that
craftsmanship is not based On race,
but, rather on ability.
I'm not only trying to prove
that I'm a good salesman" Patton
explains, "but also that race is nc
barrier. I'd like to see more young
Negroes become associated with big
firms and become statesmen. It's a
very profitable business if you have
the ambition and energy to work"
