NEGRO LIFE AND HISTORY
 Cont. from Page 8)

In 1926, the Association be- gan the celebration of Negro History Week to be observed annually during the second week in February. The pur- pose of such an observance is to make the public aware of the accomplishments already made in spreading facts of Ne gro History and Culture and their present status, and to gather new ideas whereby even more of the public may be en- igthened. Many people often confuse Negro History Week with the annual meeting of the Association which takes place not in February, but in October or November. The aim of this meeting is to bring together the scholars who are writing in the field of Negro History to dis cuss their work and at the same time consult those work CTS in schools and colleges who are interested in what these in- vestigators have produced.
 The remarkable feature of the Association is, that it was pretty much a one man job. Starting with nothing but his own abilities and enthusiasm, Dr. Woodson directed and fin anced the struggling organiza- tion. During the first three years he deprived himself of many necessities in order to make up the Associations defi- cits from his salary in Wash ington' s public schools. The Association has, from the be- ginning, had to depend mainly on what it could get from Ne groes, comparatively poor group, and from a few whites. Dr. Woodson considers that un- doubtedly, the greatest achieve ment is that 1t is now earning it's own income and paying it's own way. However, another achievement just as great, is that the Association has not given the Negro casual or nomi- nal consideration but has work ed consistently toward the gocl of offering the world the same opportunity to study the Ne gro that it has had to study all other peoples of the earth.

AVG TOO MUCH FOR RANKIN

Washington-John B. Rank in, Representative from Miss, has one characteristic that never varies. That is pro- nounced dislike for anyone who he has ever known to be on the side of progressiveness.
 Among these unforgiveables in MT. Rankin records is the American Veterans Committee. He evidently remembers with considerable i'll feeling the part that this group played in Miss issippi in rounding up witnesses against his legislative colleague. Theodore Bilbo.
 So when it came to the hear ings before the House Veterans Affairs Committee he objected to their being heard. The na- tional chairman of AVG, Chas G. Bolte, charged that Mr. Rankin threatened to filibustel or take a walk if the committee consented to hear any witness from this organization.
 Consequently the House com mittee passed a resolution bar ring the AVG.

Among the newest aids is a creeper that not only embodies strength and comfort in con- toured all-steel bed but features an adjustable lighting unit as an inherent part of the creeper. Thus two old bug-a-boos - body fatigue and eye strain no longer impair the efficiency of the overworked auto mechanic.
 The new Hycoe electric creeper also includes such extras as an air foam rubber head rest for cushioned comfort and detachable tool and parts tray which permits bench loading and unloading. It weighs slightly more than 18 pounds and rolls on four heavy duty ball bearing swivel casters.

not uncommon in Academy election
seasons, have flown thick and fast
around Duel in the Sum- in the
past several weeks. Whether they
are true, or untrue, remains to be
proved. What already has been
proved is that Selznick,s picture, to
the amazement of many others than

The one possible Academy honor
that may be won by Duel in, the

by a star. Jennifer Jones, Selznick's
prize woman star, retrieved that
much of distinction for the screen
play by being among the five NOM
inees for that award
But, fortnight before the Acad-
emy vote is counted, the betting is
that Olivia de Havilland will be the
winner of this distinction. This for

Is almost certainly unjustified, al
though the Academy balloting sys-
tenn does stack the cards against any
foreign picture.
That Henry W. was nominated,
however, is perhaps a healthy sign.
Y
Almost as interesting, and sur
prising, as the inclusion of the Lau-
renee Olivier production among the
candidates is the cold shouldering
of David o. Selznick's duel in the
Sun" That was sort of knocking
Hollywood for a double loop, in
stead of the mere one which is
below par for the course.
Producer Selznick is a man of
dimensions in the movie capital and
his confidence in himself and his
art never before has been betrayed
by the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences.
Within limits, he could choose his
own pedestal among those reserved
for the production potentates of the
industry. For more than a year,
he has been selecting a good one
for the distinction he believed proper
for "Duel in the SUM-"
In the prenomination period, the
picture was rated by many as the
most likely winner, even over an
opposition that every one granted
was bound to be stern.
Why, then, the sudden reversal
which erased the Selznick produc-
ton even from the nominations
list?
The readiest answer is that 1t
brought down the wrath of SCREEN
decency groups, not merely upon
itself, but upon the whole industry.
There is nothing to which Holly
wood is more sensitive than the
anger of such agencies. an emotion
that is doubled when the effective
ness of the industry's own morals
code is brought into question.
There has been a lot of that sort
of thing during the past year, most
of it focused upon another inde-
pendent production, 'The Outlaw"
made by Howard Hughes-and the
fight Hughes made for it.

men Thruston Morton asked StaS- sen how he'd have voted on the Hartley labor bill had he been a member of the House. Stassen re- piled that he had opposed it, and would have voted against it.
 There was a need for labor leg islation, but that just went too far ,' Stassen said
 Rep. Jack Javits, New York City Republican, asked whether Stassen favored hand-off attitude or in- telligent planning for possible fu- ture depressions.
 Of course, we cannot afford not to plan Stassen replied Two im- portant things we must bear in mind-we must maintain th c strength and purchasing power of labor, and we must strengthen the anti-monopoly fight and the en- fCrcement of the antitrust laws
 When Javlts asked Stassen how he would accomplish these objec- tives, Chairman Golf of Idaho stepped in to enforce the rule of the evening-only one question per- m.tted a member.

They now figure the req son why: Case, who hopes to be- come Senator from South Dakota in 1948, thinks that hy being kind to the Army he can enlist the help of South Dakota's Sen. Chan Cur ney, sometimes called the brass hats bellboy. South Dakotas other Senator, tough Harlan Bushfield, has heard that Case and Gurney have already reached an under standing.
 A lot of people wondered why Gov. Tom Dewey passed up Gen. Wild Bill" Donovan as COP Sena- torial candidate from New York and put his hand on Irving Ives instead The reason is now appar- ent. Ives has turned out to be one of the most fair-minded and intel ligent members of the Senate. '. Pinchpenny Congressman John Taber offered to restore part of the appropriation for the Voice of America" if Secretary of State Marshall agreed to fire Assistant Secretary oi State Bill Benton. Marshall replied that the executive branch of the Government refused to be intimidated and that the ap- propriation would have to be passed or defeated on it's merits. Mar shall might have asked Taber why he kept his brother on the payroll at the taxpayers expense. Atty. Gen. Tom Clark has ordered his assistants to continue prosecution of all OPA violation cases. Clark has even ordered new indictments drawn for black marketeers who might escape prosecution because of previous bad legal work.

SAVINGS AND PRICES

The Council of Economic Advisers is reported to nave told the President that purchasing power and consumption have begun to sag slightly Buying has maintained according to this report only because of an expansion in consumer credit, shrinkage in wartime savings and reduction in the present rate of savings It is that the volume of savings has declined substantially from abnormal wartime peak But the most recent figures savings indicate that they are in line with prewar experience. AL though some persons are cashing in their war bonds and drawing down other forms of savings this has been more than offset by savings by other persons And it is the overall result which is important
 During l946, for example, total sales of Series bonds aggregated S4466 900 compared with denptions of s5423 o0000, of redemptions of almost 1000 00o0 GOO In contrast sales of Series F and c bonds exceeded redemptons by more than S2 900 900 00o Thus balance tliere net in- crease in the outstanding volume of these bonds instead of decrease. In each of the first three months of this year Series bond sales have actually exceeded redempons net increase for the three months was over $400000,000.
 Savings in other forms have also been increasing In ls46 deposits in mutual and postal savings banks rose by almost $2 oooOooOoO Building and loan citation investments time deposits and insurance have also been increasing In fact in his Economic Report to Congress President reported that savings in the final quarter of 1946 at the rate of more than sl4G00 900 GOO annually
 With total savings still increasing, which means that for everay dollar of past savings used there is than dollar of savings by someone else in the economy, it is difficult to understand why the shrinking volume of a particular segment of savings is important. Moreover comparisons with the wartime totals are completely irrelevant because wartime sav- ings were totally abnormal and resulted from the exigencies of war finance and the lack of adequate

Free Press in Russia
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 In a recent interview with Harold Stassen Premier Stalin declared that Russia is unable" to lift the censorship ban newspaper articles emanating from his country. Stans announcement, made verbatim by the former Minnesota Governor, occasions little surprise. There have been indications that the Kremlin had any intention to comply with the free press" requests made by other democratic nations
 It is difficult-perhaps imp ossiblefor leaders of many foreign lands particularly those long under dc- tatorships to understand either the values of the reasons for free press in the United States know it. To the dictator free speech is dangerous; free discussion something to be feared The individual who rules by force rather than by popular will stantly must be guard lest the of his people learn the whole truth, either about his admnstra tion or the administrations of democratic nations
 Nor is it probable that the people of nation long under rule would be able to comprehend the meaning of free press. For years and years they have looked upon the press as instrument of gov ernment. They expect to find. in their newspapers government propaganda rather than factual truths Experience-and experience alone-can teach them that real truths, freely circulated, give the public the full information on which good government must be founded
 Democracy is not precept which can be handed to a people complete and ready for operation. It must come from the people themselves. They must build it gradually; must educate themselves in it's methods and structure A free press instru- ment of democracy also must have a gradual growth It would be impossible to install instanter free press within dictatorship as it would be to pass camel through the proverbial needles eye.
