WASHINGTON, (P) - s e n ate Democrats began lining up Tues day behind movement to delay action on the proposed S4,O0O, ,O00,- 900 income tax cut until mid June.
 By that time, they contend, Con- gress should have a much metter idea of what economies it can eff feet in President Truman's $37,- 500,000,000 budget for the fiscal year which starts July 1.
 With most of the A Democratic Senators not sold on the idea of cutting taxes until the probable surplus can be computed, only a few Republican votes would have to be pulled over to achieve the poStponement.

pure music and one of the few
notable works of permanent value
that had immediate acceptance and
appreciation by the public at large.
The symphony was produced in
1928 and was first played, in
Carnegie hall Dec. Is, 1893. It
was an immediate success.
Mrs. Johnston acted as comment
ator in presenting the music of

"Steal Away" were sung by the

Came the first World war and the
migration of 100000 Negroes from
the south to northern cities, then
the period of prosperity and the
depression. AS did the white people,
many colored people suffered and
there were charges of discrimina-
ton in apportioning relief.
Harlem, a section of New York
City, became the largest Negro
community in the United States,
where, said the speaker, "the seeds
for a new life for the Negro were
planted" The first Negro elected
to congress was Adam Powell, Jr.,
who is the author of a book,
Marching Blacks"
The question of hiring Negroes
in war plants of the second World
war was eventually settled and they
were employed. Also they served
in the armed forces.
Of several ways suggested to I'M
tangle the color situation, Mrs.
Wilcox said the Negro asks for in
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, equality and
respect.
Among prominent Negro person.
alities are Paul Robson in drama;
Marion Anderson, Dorothy Maynor
and Roland Hayes in music; Countee
Cullen and William Braithwaite in
poetry; Mary Mcleod Bethune in
education; George Washington Cary
err in science; DR.. Daniel E. Will
liams in medicine, and others.
The second speaker, Mrs. john
ston, discussing Negro music, said
in effect that Negro music is the
largest section of folk songs and
music America has produced; the
other folk music here has come
from many parts of the Old World.
Contributing to this general opinion
were three factors: (1) World tour
of the famous Fisk Jubilee singers
about 1880; (2) the compositions of
Stephen Foster and the ~organiza-
ton for which many of his songs
were written, and (3) the symphony,
"From the New World" by Antonin
Dvorak.
The Jubilee songs were of the
"spirituals" type; Fosters songs ap-
peared in stage productions, often
sung by black-face white men, and
Dvorak's From the New World" was

NEGRO HISTORY, MUSIC
OCCUPY CLUB SESSION

When a shipload of Negro slaves
was unloaded at jamestown, Va, in
1919, a year before the Pilgrims
landed on the rock-bound coast of
New England, there started a chain
of events that at times rocked con-
gress in the early 1905, produced
many books, countless arguments
and, PAP years after arrival of the
first cargo, plunged the United
States into a grim civil war A
president was assassinated, legisla-
ton was passed to fully liberate the
former slaves, and their process of
orientation began. World wars |
and II caused mass migrations
northward and westward, and many
cities now have Negro minority pop
ulations. The series of events that
began in 1919 has not yet been
completed.
Honoring the Great Emancipator
Lincoln and surveying Negroes in
general, the Laurel Woman's club
at it's meeting Monday at the Z.
L. Fenton home, with Mrs. S. S.
Bliss as hostess, had an extensive
program on the history of Negroes
and their music. Mrs. M. ]. Wilcox
handled the history and Mrs. z. A.
Johnston had charge of the music.
The Laurel choral group sang.
Members are Mrs. Johnston, Mrs.
r. C. Brown, Mrs. D. ]. Hoppel,
Mrs. L. w. Hageman, Mrs. j. H.
Moran, Mrs. George Paisley and
Mrs. Wilcox, with Mrs. ]. H. AL
bertus as accompanist.
Mrs. Wilcox said 100000 Ne
groes reside in the United States,
about a tenth of the total pOpula-
ton. The original stock, now
largely mixed with u bloods, came
from Africa in colonial times. She
averred that "Our treatment of the
Negro is the most inexcusable in
consistency in our national life"
In support she cited Jim Crow pol
icies, denial of franchise in some
states, caste system and the opin-
ions of certain writers. Ignorant
colored people found themselves in
a peculiar situation after they were
declared free; they were not accus-
toned to freedom. In the transition
period some leaders appeared among
them, notably Booker T. Wash
ington, an educator and founder of
a college that taught practical top
les of self-help. There were others
who contributed to their fellows
progress.

Rich mineral resources of the Ant

ard Byrd, commandant of the recent

miral said.

MOSCOW:
No agreement

The conference between U. S.
Secretary Of State Marshall and
Premier Stain has achieved little
or nothing, in the opinion of Ameri-
can diplomats in Moscow. The dead
lock. between Russian and United
States delegations in the Council of
Foreign Ministers seems no nearer
to solution. Basic disagreements
on the German peace treaty are too
great, it is thought, for any easy or
rapid agreement.
This pessimistic view does not ex-
clude the possibility that some
minor concessions may be made by
the Russians for propaganda pur-
poses. It is not believed likely, how
ever, that anything important will
be achieved at this session. Hope
that the Austrian treaty would be
completed has pretty well faded.
Main stumbling block in all the
treaty negotiations is the Russian
demand for huge PREPARATIONS. If the
Russians would retreat somewhat
from their position, some arrange
ment might be worked out, it is
admitted.
While there is considerable justi-
fication for calling this conference a
failure, American diplomats point
out that certain fundamental issues
have been aired, and that Secretary
Marshall has had an opportunity to
present American policy to Russia
and the world.

ONIONS:
Sets Rot in Fields

Too high prices for onion sets are
threatening the crop throughout the
nation, according to members of
the Tri-state Onion Set exchange.
This cooperative sales organization
handles business for nearly 80 per
cent of the country's onion set rails
ers. It's members live in Wisconsin,
Illinois and Indiana.
The cooperative fixes the market
price, which at present is $1.90 per
bushel, up 40 cents from the jan
uary Is figure. This price, say set
raisers, is out of line with demand,
and the business is all going to the
10 per cent of raisers who do not be-
long to the cooperative, and can
make their own deals.
One cooperative member re-
ported that the return for the 1916
crop has been little more than 20
cents per bushel so far. Many rails
ers are dumping sets in the fields.
