Fort Niagara To Be Closed

Fort Niagara, N. Y, Jan - (UP) A few Army officers and enlisted men cleared up their final work to- day at Fort Niagara, second oldest in the nation.
 The Army post, which has oper- ated as a frontier outpost, perma- nent Army base, reception center, replacement training base and prisoner of war camp, closes down tonight after 2l9 years of service.
 The reservation will be turned over to the district Army engineer with caretakers to maintain build ings and the historic ruins of old Fort Niagara.
 The fort was built by the French in 1726 and operated as 8 trading post until 1759 when it was captured by teh British. The American flag flew over the fort first in 1796 when the treaty of Paris gave the eastern shores of Lake Ontario and the Niagara River to the Americans.
 During the War of 1872 the British again occupied the fort and held it until the third year of the war when the Americans pushed them back to Canada.

STRAND

With the filming of the Ben Ames Williams best-seller, Leave Her to Haven" Gene Tierney, Car mel Wilde and Jeanne Grain were given the most dramatic roles of their respective careers. Rarely has any one picture given three stars such outstanding individual op- portunities as those in the Techni- color film, presented by Daryl F. zenuck, which opens today at the Strand Theater.
 In the title role of the psycho- ilogical drama, Gene Tierney com- pines glamor and emotion as she has never had a chance to do be- fore. She plays a beautiful girl who loves so intensely that she will stop at nothing, even murder, to mon- opolize the man she loves.
 AS the man, Cornel Wilde-who became star overnight in "A Song to Remember" and has since made two other costume pictures-plays not only his first important modern role, but his first big romantic role as we'll
 Jeanne Grain, the third angle of the triangle, has played teenaged heroines up to now. In Leave Her to Heaven" she grows up, building to a dramatic murder trial in which she is the accused.
 Vincent Price heads the support ing cast which also includes Mary Philips, Ray Collins, Gene Lock- hart, Reed Hadley, Daryl Hick- man and Chill Wills.
 The companion feature role is Love, Honor and Goodbye" fea- turing Virginia Bruce and Victor McLaglen.

Atomic Power Viewed Costly
 Too Expensive Now,
 Nov Come LofeF

New York, Jan. 1 -- (UP) - The Atomic energy as a source of power is not in the cards for a long time, c. W. Kellogg, president of the Edison Electric Institute, predicted.
 Reviewing news of importance to the industry in 1945, Kellogg said "the vision of possible use of the nuclear energy in the atom as a source of electric power supply was opened up by the achievement of the atomic bomb"
 However, he said, information now available indicates that the cost of controlling the energy, the cost of special plant, and the expense of nuclear material required would be far above that shown now for fuel in utility power stations.
 Other highlights of 1945 were re- ported by Kellogg:
 l. Smaller decline in industrial power use and more favorable out look in electricity production than had been anticipated for the early postwar period.
 2. A large volume of requests for power supply for new business, particularly small and medium sized industries.
 3. Unusual growth in household electric service.
 4. Progress in rural electriflca- ton, with 150,000 more farms added to private utilities and 120,000 more on the lines of rural cooperatives.
 Power generation reached an all- time high of 229,328, 900 kilowatt- hours during the l2 months ending with July, 1945. Kellogg reported. At the end of the year, output was running about 10 per cent under the 1914 figures.
 Heavy construction expenditures are planned next year, he said. Last spring, private electric utility com panies stated thay expected to spend $400 100000 for additions to plant and equipment during the 12 months following VIE Day, as com pared with actual expenditures in l945 of $225, 100000.
 However, total construction prob ably will reach only the levels of 1889, he said, because costs now are at least one-third higher than in the immediate prewar years.
 Consolidated income statements of private utilities for 1945 showed little change from the previous year. Kellogg reported. Gross revenues were unchanged at $3,000 900, 900 and net income was about $10,0c0,- GOO or two per cent, above the $5l7,- 100000 of 1914.

I want to raise a dissenting voice. Miss Foster, In order to pursue her ambition, has willingly accepted suspension of her paychecks from Universal. Her career and her life are her own to handle as she sees fit, and if she thinks that she will gain greater satisfaction by singing from the Metropolitan stage than she will into a studio microphone, certainly can't blame her for her de- cision. On the contrary, I have to admire her, for her sacrifices in- volved are enormous.
 
 The more | think about Jack Ben ny's offer of a $l0,0o0 prize to the radio fan who writes the best letter on the subject, Why I Can't Stand Jack Benny" the more I think he has great idea-one that could be stolen, with much personal profit, by nine-tenths of the stars in show business Here in Hollywood, the almost universal habit of saying nothing but nice things" to big stars not only produces a bumper crop of inflated egos; it also pre- vents the top-notchers from honest ly appraising their own work. Any star who can find out, for only $l0,000, why he isn't clicking with John and Jane Public, is getting a record bargain.
 It must be an awful shock to your grandpa to read about the colossal prices being paid for screenable stories. For instance, MGMs recent deal with Booth Tarkington for movie rights to an unwritten novel entitled Pride of the Family" Tarkington, merely on the strength of verbal synopsis, gets a $l0000 advance, $9c,000 while writing the book, and an additional $50 900 if it sells well. When grandpa was a boy, writers-even great ones-were sup posed to do their scrivenings in garretS.

LAcUARDrA
 I see that Mayor Lauuardla ls sllcing right Into our racket by slgn- ing a radio contract, and I don't think we deserve it from him. After all, l don't wear a hat, have no inc terest in fires higher than a hot- foot, and never read the funnies above a whisper.
 I wired him, whats the ideap why don't you retireq" He wired back, 'sorry, don't want the Little Flower to 90 to potl"
 I'll adnilS the mayor has promise as a comedian. Colonna and l saw the newsreel where the mayor read the funny papers on the air. He was so funny, 1t was three weeks before 1 could get Colonna out of his hole to do our regular broad casts and was showing as hard as I could.
 And the mayors announced that he's going to conduct strict cam- paign against gambling. If strict" happens to include a small blngo in the side yard of a private home, I'll get even by doing more hat jokes than he ever dreamed of.
 The mayor probably figures it's pretty nice to have a radio job where you don't depend on the vote of the people to get it. The only trouble is that they can impeach you so fast with that little dial.
 So many of the politicians are going into the entertainment field Jimmy Walker to head @ record company, Commissioner Valentine into radio, Senator Chandler to baseball. So far as I know, none Of the politicians are going in for radio comedy, though. They can get more laughs where they are.
 The last time talked to La- Guardia I told him what a great gag his hat makes, but he got the wrong idea kept telling, him after I got 1t out of my throat.

THE BALANCE OF POWER STILL RESTS WITH THE
 LAWLESS MOBS

The dress rehearsal for the advent of American fascism was held in Athens, Alabama last week, and this time, the mob was a solid, impressive thing, numbering over two thousand representative sou thern Americans. Athens, as you must know, is not a large commit nity. A mob of over two thousand persons must indeed be accepted as being truly representative of the law and spirit of the communi- ty. Athens, then, is an outlaw community, a lawless hole where the spirit of American Liberty and Freedom was raped and battered with shameless exhibitionism.
 Over one hundred Negroes were bruised and beaten up by the cruel white monsters who write of superiority in the blood of the defenseless, and only two members of the mob were injured slightly. The old and the crippled and the innocent young were kicked and beaten and herded from the streets like cattle. Reported1y, only two shots were fired. This, then, is the new order, the new daring of the southern mobster, who feels that the Negro is sufficiently inti- initiated, so that he can be con- quered by the sheer force of num- bers.
 Always when these pogroms oc- cur, the Negro dares little, lest he offend the good people of the com- munity, but it is time now for the Negro to know that the good peo- pie in the community do not exist when the mob takes over. The only good people who can stop a rabid mob, are people who are prepared to meet it on their terms. There is no hesitancy to bring a mad dog to bay because the rest of the dogs in the neeghborhool are good tempered.
 A mob rampant against the CO., Tor of a mans skin is as great a menace as is a pack of rabies in fested dogs. Negroes must be prepared to deal with them on this basis. If there is to be any fear, it must be the righteous fear of those who must kill lest they be killed. The law in A1aba- ma is not designed to protect the life and property of Negro Ameri- cans. The Federal government is pussy-footing, ducking delicately around the sensitive nerves of the cracker killers, while Negroes are

slaughtered.
 Reluctantly, an observer of the American scene must admit that the Hitler formula is in the hands of the American murderers. 1t , will avail us nothing to die cower- ing in a corner hoping for a mi racle. We must know that there is a large and powerful element oi lawless, Goddess men in the south who are determined to kill off the Negro population. We should pre- pare to die at a very high cost. Referring again to the good peo- pie in the communities where lynch law and mob violence are higher than the law, we can only ask, "Where are they" Who can say when and where the next mas
 sacre will break out? Who dares sit securely aloof, feeling that it can't happen in his community :? Living with a stature that Is less than that of a man is not living at all.
 If a man is ashamed of his CO., Tor then he can hide, but if a man is afraid to die there is 10 place he can hide. Same way must be found to protect the Negroes who live in the Taw1ess south. That way must be found by the Negroes themselves. They can longer be- lieve in the hypocritical promises of the good white people and the inept Federal government. Ne groes everywhere are on their own.
 Make no mistake about it, when Negroes begin killing whites in self-defense, the Federal govern ment will send troops to protect life and property. If the law of the land is inadequate to protect the lives of American Negroes, then the law of the land is made quate, - period.
 When it is possible for southern mobsters to say, ttto hell with the law" we must be prepared to say, ''me too," and to brighten our dy- ing loneliness by taking a white soul or two along with us. Pa tience is no longer a virtue in this matter. Too many Negroes lives are being lost while those in authority are fumbling trying to find a way to make the nur- derers respect authority.
 We must stand together where ever we are or we will be slowly annihilated. This time, let us make the fascist rendezvous at Athens, Alabama, rallying point for the mobilization of Negro Americant o fight back.
