Nothing New
In Tap Dancing,
Bojangles Says

= CHICAGO = Bill "Bojangles"
Robinson completed 60 years of
professional dancing with the
cryptic comment that there is
nothing new in tap dancing.
"Bojangles" has been dancing
since 1885, having begun at the
age of 8. In an article, "Sixty
Years of Tap Dancing" in the
July issue of Negro Digest, he
picks the four dancers he rates
tops and severely criticizes mod
ern tap dancing.
George Tapps comes first on
BilPs list of straight tappers. And
he commends Paul Draper for his
ballet technique; Fred Astaire for
eccentricity, and Gene Kelley for
combining both tap and ballet.
Of modern dancers, in general,
the article states:
"The napdern tap dancer dances
continually without a break, MAX
ing for Fepetitious and monoto-
nous movements. Music alone
should be the basic factor for de-
termining dance patterns, not ac-
robatic~ stunts and other tricks
currently employed"

Philadelphia Presbytery
Asks For Race Tolerance
Calls On All
Board OF Church
For Action

PHILADELPHIA, Pa (ANP)
The Philadelphia Presbytery has
called upon all boards and agen-
cies of the Presbyterian Church
throughout the United States to
eliminate racial discrimination in
their employment of staff mem
bers and workers, it was an
nounced Friday.
This recommendation to the ma
tion's Presbyterian Churches
states in more specific terms the
broad program on inter-racial re-
lations passed by the 158th gener-
al assembly at Atlantic City on
May %, as introduced by the as
sembly's social education and ac-
ton committee.
RESOLUTIONS
Resolutions passed by the Phila-
deb ~ Presbytery at a recent
meeting in Carmel Presbyterian
jhW N. Edge Hill, Pa, urge that
Presbyterian laymen engaged in
personnel work consider appl-i
cants for jobs without regard to
race, creed or color; that Presby-
terian colleges and professional
schools grant admission of the mer-
its of the applicants; that Presby
terians as individuals practice
daily Christian discipline" in Ian
guage, avoiding derogatory racial
terms or thoughts which reflect on
any racial or religious group;
that ministers include members of
other racial groups in their COM
munity programs wherever posi-
bic, and to accept all persons who
seek to be received into communi-
cant membership.
Presbyterian churches located in
areas of changing racial popula-
tions are encouraged, in the report,
to extend their services to the en-
tire surrounding populations.
NEVER AN EXCUSE
"The existe 4ce of Negro
churches" the report states,
Should never be used as an ex-
cuse for excluding any Christian
from any church.
The resolutions accepted by the
Philadelphia Presbytery were pre-
sented by the Rev. James G. Mill
er, of the Wyncote Presbyterian
church, the Rev. Ralph N. Mould,
of the Board of Christian educa-
ton, and j. Harvey Lee, an elder
of the Second Presbyterian church
of Germantown.

Dr.. Marshall For
Compromise FEPC

WASHINGTON, D.C.-(NNPA)
DR.. c. Herbert Marshall, for
mer president of the District of
Columbia branch of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, last Friday in
a letter to A. Philip Randolph, CO.
chairman of the National Council
for Permanent Fair Employment
Practice Commission, came out for
compromise fair employment legis-
lation.
Taking the position that there
is no hope for passage of the
model bill now pending in both
the House and Senate, DR.. Mar
shall favored a measure which
would ban race or religious dis
elimination in government unem-
ployment and under government
contracts.
DR.. Marshall, who is chairman
of the FEPC sponsoring commit
tee of the District of Columbia
which has been instrumental IN
raising funds to carry on the
work of the FEPC council, did not
commit himself to any proposal
that has been so far made re-
garding compromise legislation.
LETTER DISCLOSED
In his letter to Mr.. Randolph,
DR.. Marshall stated:
Because | have made and am
still making a contribution to the
National Council for a permanent
FEPC, | feel that | have earned
the right to offer certain Sugges-
tions regarding procedure in try
ing to have FEPC legislation

tunity during our drive for funds
here in Washington to sound out
public opinion, and as a result OF
that the proposal that | now make
to you is the answer to all of the
varied objections that have been
brought to my attention.
"The great majority OF people
here are firm in their opinion that
the bill now before the Congress
will not pass. | share that opln-
ion. However, | feel that half a
loaf of bread is better than no
| bread at all, and am taking the
| liberty to suggest that a new bill
be introduced into Congress which
would be limited to the Federal
Government.
Il can appreciate the viewpoint
of the industrialists who would
feel that the government is trying
to impose upon them a policy
which the government itself does
not practice; if such Legislation
is passed, and a greater efficiency
in the governmental matters would
result, as it surely would, the pat
tern would be set which industry
automatically would follow. Such
a bill, if enacted, would guarantee

Say Army Unfair
10 Personnel

WASHINGTON, D.C.-(NNPA)
-Three-fifths of the colored SOL
diers who were quizzed in a poll
conducted by the Army during the
war to find out the differences be-
tween white and colored soldier at
titudes, expressed the opinion that
the Army was unfair to colored
personnel on one or two questions
asked them.
The three questions were wheth-
er they thought a colored soldier
with ability had a good chance
for promotion in the Army, wheth-
er a colored soldier with ability
had a good chance to become a
commissioned officer, and wheth
er they thought white military po-
lice usually treated colored sol
diers fairly or unfairly.
About $4,000 men belonging to
ninety-two different organizations
and representing a cross-section of
colored and white enlisted men in
the continental United States were
polled by the Research Branch,
Education and Information Divi-
sion, Army Service Forces.
One-fifth of all the colored sol
diers polled said the Army was
fair to colored personnel on each
of the three questions and thought
that they themselves were more
useful to their country as soldiers
than as war workers.
Twenty-Five per cent of the col
ored soldiers, who said the Army
was unfair to colored personnel,
felt they were more useful as sol
diers than as war workers.
A third group, containing a fifth
of the colored soldiers polled, said
the Army was unfair to colored
personnel on all three questions
and only 81 per cent of the men
in this group felt they were serv-
ing their country best as soldiers.
