~ weighing a cool 800 and with
a seven foot pull in height to boot.
In addition, Conn, these critics
sho why inference, is being given
the advantage of some secret adj
vice from some unknown savant
of boxing, an how to fell the play
full, happy go lucky Joe Louis who
won't listen to anybody.
All this adds up to one thing:
The night of June 10 will find Joe
Louis as ready as he was the same
nights he took on Baer, Camera,
Galento, Braddock, Pastor, Uzcu-
din, Simon and Schmeling. Those
who are trying to revive fears
that Louis may be doped as GER
tain sports writers tried to make
out he was in the first Schmeling
fight, are demanding that he sur
round himself with an all-Negro
managerial setup as in the days
of the Julian Black-Johnny Rox-
borough combination and when
Jack Blackburn was in his corner.
They would substitute Nanny
Seaman, his white trainer, with
any of six dozen assorted colored
trainers who they believe would
best look out for the unprotected
champion.
They seem to forget that Sea
man, with Louis for 10 years, is
a protege, in a manner of speak
ing, of the late Blackburn and is
as much for Louis by inclination
and in fact as any person who
might be selected as a replace
ment-if Louis were foolish and
did replace him. If Louis got beat
by Schmeling in the first fight as
he did with Roxborough, Black,
Blackburn and others around him,
what's to prevent the same thing
happening today? But it won't
happen that way. Louis will be
okay. Bet on that!
Freddie Guinyard, Louis buddy
and secretary, told me the other
night: Let the champ alone. He's
playing now. When he goes to the
camp March 1, he'll stop every
thing except getting ready to beat

PREJUDICE CONES From
rEhR- SAYS VEENNESE
C. .....
BY verna Arvey, caIvin's News

That racial prejudice is born of
fear, and that that fear is usually
j economic, are the firm beliefs of
lovely young Herta GlaZ, VienneSe
c~ontralto from the Metropolitan
Opera Company who will intro
duce a new group Of art-songs by
William Grant Still in her town
Hall recital in New York City on
February 10th. To support this
view, Miss Glaz cites the CONVEX
sation she had with two of her
acquaintance, who were lament
ing the fact that it was so hard
to find a school for their children
to attend. Miss Glaz pointed out
to an imposing edifice across the
street, and asked if that yer a
school. The two parents admitted
that it was indeed a school but
not suitable for their children any
longer, because it had such a large
percentage of 'niggers and hikes
in it. Miss Glaz was shocked at
the revelation, and began to argue
with them about the ACCESSIBILITY
of having tolerance in racial mat
tiers. She stayed at their home I'm
til four o'clock in the morning,
arguing, urging, and getting no
where. At that point, the man
admitted that he knew there Were
many gifted Negroes and Jews in
the world, but added IF we give
these gifted people a chance to
get ahead, what will happen to
our own children ?" Miss Glaz
then said that that was indeed
the crux of the whole argument:
fear, and a selfishness and greed
for themselves or their own.
Carrying the matter on, Miss
Glaz deeply deplored the attitude
of reactlonary people who Try
against all odds, to keep preju-
dice alive. She declared that race
prejudice in Europe was one of
Hitler's dev.lish inventions, and
reiterated what this writer had
heard before from other Europ-
cans, that nowhere today in Eu-
rope, even under Hitler, had n
found the rae puejudice that is
in America against certain min
ority groups. Miss Glaz was edu-
Gated in Vienna (studying in the
same class as Eric Leinsdorf, now
the renowned conductor of the
Cleveland Orchestral and came to
America when Otto Klemperer
was conducting the Los Angeles
Philharmonic Orchestra. The Dr.
Klemperer heard her sing when
she was a little girl in Vienna,
asked her if she would like to sing
in America. Sne said los and rcaL

( there, and although Joe Louis won
the heavyweight championship at
| Comiskey Park, Chicago, he had
to come to New York to show be-
fore he was accepted as the real
champ of the heavies.
That is why the rave notices our
artists get in other sections of the
| country can be tossed out of the
window if they can be supplanted
by praise from New York critics.
1t is really something the way this
crazy world of our operates. Take
the case of portly June Richmond.
Most swing and jazz fans remem-
Der her long years with Andy
Kinks swell orchestra. June was
big office bait with Kirk and when
she left that band to go as a single
she remained a top gate attract
ion. But not until she got on our
Broadway did her star really be-
gin to ascend. In the musical com
edy smash hit, Are You With IT.
at the Century Theatre here, she
is now considered one of the sing
ing finds of the theatrical season.
And yet, Miss Richmond's dyna-
mic personality and amazing vocal
qualities long have been admired
by night club patrons and vaude-
vile and radio show goers all over
the country.
Born in Chicago, June was sing
ing operate selections to packed
houses when she was II years old
Three years later she was seer
around in certain night spots as
a waitress, and finally got set in
a legit show called Harlem to
Broadway which played movie
houses in Cleveland, Toledo, In
dianapolis and other ~mid-western
cities. Her singing in those days
of the "St. Louis Blues stamped
her as potential star material.
Tragedy Intervene its way into
the fabric of June Richmond's
sweep to the top. She was mar
ried to Jeff Thompson, a dancer,
who had established his own big
lounge bar in Milwaukee. After
three years of married life, Jeff
was shot to death by local hood
lums in Milwaukee as a result OF
mistaken identity.
June then worked her way to
California and the Cotton Club
where Bing Crosby and Jimmy
Dorsey were so impressed by her
voice and style that they put her
on their radio program. She then
sang with Jimmy Dorsey's band,
with Cab Galloway, Andy Kirk,
and others. In 1914 Norman Cor
win recruited her talents for a SER
les of radio broadcasts in which
she was sensational. Weighing a
cool 220, June rates rave notices
for her work in Are You With
It?" AS the staid old NY Times
said, June Richmond stops the
show with two songs, Poor Little
Me- and Just Beyond the Rain
bow.
Speaking further of the way
New York thinks of performers,
acts, ETC., the experiences of June
Richmond are more or less mir
rored by these such persons as
Pearl Bailey, Lena Horne, Arthur
Lee Simpkins, Mary Lou Williams,
Lional Hampton, Duke Ellington,
Bill Bailey, the one-time great
team of Chiffon and Thomas, the
Mills Bros, the Ink Spots, Lucky
Millinder, and many others. They
all had to come here to be made
really great in the eyes of the old
world.

Farm Families Are Asked
To Save Foods And Feed

Farm families i'm Vance county
will need to produce and conserve
about twice as much food and feed
this year as they produced and con-
served last year in order to insure
an adequate supply for use on the
farm and in the home. and without
having to depend upon buying food
and feed from stockpilcs that are
badly needed to help prevent star
walton of millions in War-torn Coun-
tries, according to a statement to-
day by Ivey W. Day, FSA super
visor.
1t is not only the patriotic duty
of every farmer to produce and on
servo as much Of their food and feed
requirements as condition viii per-
init, but it is economically necessary
that they do so for the following
reasons, Day stated:
|. More homegrown food IS need
ed by most FSA borrowers for home
use, and moro homegrown feed j.
needed to feed thI livestock which
they already have on their farms.
.. Large quantities of ggaln, fats,
and other foodstufts must be ship
ped to Europe and Asa to prevent
Widespread starvation among oue
former Allies. This means that the
supply of food amt feed grains fof
use in this country may be reduced
to such an extent that farmers may
find it difficult to buy the food and
feed they need even at much highcr
prices than they are now paying.
