Thomas Dixon, Noted as Author

Book, Made Into Film
Birth Of q Notion,'

BY the Associated Press

RALEIGH, N. c., April s.
Thomas Dixon, 81, author of ''The
Clansman," upon which the motion
picture, THE Birth of a Nation" "
was based, died at his home here
early today after a long illness.
Mr.. Dixon had versatile career
as preacher, lyceum lecturer, law
yer, legislator and author.
But he preferred to write His
books sold more than 100000
copies.
He wrote 20 novels, nine plays and
six moving pictures. His share of
the profits amounted to $1,250,O00.
Fortune Wiped Out.
But lean years were to follow
when most of his fortune was wiped
away in the collapse of real estate
venture he promoted in the noun
talnouS region of Western North
Carolina, A projected cultural COM
munlty, known as "Wildacres, -
which doomed in 1925, failed few
years later.
His declining years were clothed
in comparative obscurity.
He decided to be a writer while
he was still attending Wake Forest
College in North Carolina where he
was an unusually brilliant student
He also made up his mind at that
time not to write until he had lived
Il always had the idea" he said
that I had better live while and
get experience and then write. 1t is
better and easier to write out of full
experience
Started Writing at 38.
So he did not attempt his first
novel until he was 38 years old
Instead, he practiced law, served a

There was a growing belief in

If the time comes when Gen.
George c. Marshall decided that his
peace mission cannot be accomplish
ed. there are many well-informed
sources that assert the only imme-
diate answer is one of these two:
A war of determination between
the Government and Communists,
or an uneasy continuation of the
status quo, with the Communists

population and the Chang Kai-

Many observers predict>that Gen.

latter course, hoping to rebuild

HOMES FOR HOMEFOLKs

Homes for veterans were so much
225, 900 of them were finished-this
special class of houses having been
given priority. Due to the building
boom more than half of the houses
that were started were not finished
principally because of soaring prices
of material and labor. Most prospec-
tive homefolks have decided to join
the waiting list" instead of digging
in head-over-heels in debt. The big
cities are, quite as usual, crowded
with people from everywhere, and
kouse-builidng is not near as popular
as house-hunting- 'if you haven't
got it have you spare room you can
let us have" Be it ever so humble
what's the difference for awhile.
Ten thoucand dollars for a new
home for the family of veteran is
an outrageous price. The real estate
sharks started in three years ago to
make fortunes out of building and
selling new houses, and at the same
time boosting the price of the land
upon which these houses were to be
erected. The fact that the Govern
ment is backing loans for houses has
been helpful to the real estate
sharks. Nevertheless ordinary houses
are selling for three and four times
more than they SHOULD cost.

LAUDS STATE NEWSMEN FOR
PART in KEEPING PEOPLE
INFORMED
INFORMED

Discussions planned for the forth
coming assembly of the United Ma
tions in New York tkis month, con-
corning the issue of world freedom of
information, will undoubtedly have
great interest for the people of this
country, Governor Herbert r. O'Con-
or told members of the Del-MarVa
Press Association, meeting at the At
lantic Hotel, in Ocean City.
Emphasizing that the one factor
in American life even from the ear
liest times which has Influenced the
American people to maintain a deep
interest in the affairs of Government
has been the free flow of information
made possible by TIE American Press,
Governor O'Conor declared that if he
is convinced that every American to-
day feels that the world will be vastly
improved by an unhampered flow of
public information in all countries.
1.-The hope of an enduring interna-
tional reace will be more speedily
realized, l am convinced" Governor
O'Conor told the newsmen, "if the
free expression of information which
has always been possible here in
America is extended to cover the en-
tire world.
81 definitely believe that only those
wko have something which they wish
to keep from public view, whether
they be individuals or rulers or ma
tions, could object to such an unre-
stricted dissemination of news. The
| greatest ally the United Nations
could have in accomplishing their OBJ
| jective of world peace and under
standing would be the approval OF
and the acceptance of the program OF
| the American Society of Newspaper
Editors for unrestricted flow of infor
nation"
The Governor paid tribute to the
publishers and editors of the State
for their part in keeping the people
of Maryland informed of the doings
of Government. From the very out
set of this administration" the Gov
ernor declared eve have made every
effort to make available to our citi
zenry news concerning the intent!
and the accomplishments of the
State Administration. l believe tha
the result has been that people in al
sections of the State are more con
versant now with the doings of the
State Government than has ever beer
the case in the past"

ABOUT LABOR

There is nothing wrong in princi-
pie with organized labor as such nor
with the working people who belong
to the unions. However, when the
unions become dominated, as many
of them are by arrogant, selfish,
communistic-minded leaders, then it
is time for the public to take tie sit
uation in hand and give the people a
fair deal.
These arrogant labor leaders must
learn that the public will not stand
to go without food, clothes, cars and
conveniences while labor walks the
streets when they should be working
AS most of us do.
It's time to put these communistics
minded men in their place and if the
members of the unions cannot cope
with the situation the Right to Work
measure is the answer. -Ex.

July 23 OPT, 1947, are the dates for
the 21st International Convention on
Christian Education which is being
sponsored by International Council
of Religious Education, whose presi-
dent is the Hon. Harold e. Stassen.
1t is expected that the Convention
will bring together from all over the
world, some 10000 volunteer Sunday
school teachers, superintendent,
ministers and officers. Due to the war
conditions, no convention has been
Eeld since 1888. One of the aims of
the gathering, according to Secretary
Roy G.. Ross, will be to s'arouse the
public's conscience to the necessity of
giving Christian education central
place in modern culture.

SCHOOL LUNCHES AVERAGED
$1S A YEAR

A report by the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture on Community school
lunch programs for 1945 records that
6 6.655,45S pupils in 43,48O schools
participated. The Federal contribu-
tions amounted to $47,844,0 900 and
the funds contributed! by States and
localities are estimated to have been
the equivalent of about $4,000, 900,
or an average of more than $3.50 for
each Federal dollar. This averages
about 81 per pupil year in Federal
funds and about $11 per pupil fur
nished by States and localities. I'm
der the newly enacted School Lunch
Act the States are required at the
outset to share $3.50 in the support
of the program, although service and
equipment in lieh of cash may repre-
sent the States share. In 1945, on
tke average, the local funds more
than matched" the Federal aid
The five States that led in the
number of pupils enrolled in the
community school lunch program in
1945 were: New York, 537,639 pu-
pills receiving $3,04S,OOO aid from
the U. S. Department of Agriculture;
South Carolina, 386,593 pupils and
$2,32O,O00 aid; Texas, 1900 pu-
pills and $3,141,000 aid; Georgia.
342,379 pupils and $2,565,00O aid;
and Illinois, with $4,000 pupils and
$2,504,0OO aid from the Federal
funds.
