Remote With Drobny,
Kramer in Path
BY the Associated Press

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. r.
! Long Tom Brown, California law
student who gets his summer exer-
else on the major tennis courts of
the world. may never be faced with
tougher trial than the one he is
experiencing this week in the ma
tional singles championships.
Only three matches away from
the national title as the tournament
moved into the quarterfinals at the
West Side Tennis Club today, Brown
squared off against Jaroslav Drob-
lny, Czechoslovakian left-hander, in
what promises to be the prize at
traction IN the round of eight.
But even If he succeeds in turn
ing back the Czech Davis Cup ace.
he then faces the rather unpleasant
possibility of humping smack into
Jack Kramer. the defending cham
pion who walloped him in the final
here last year and again at VIM
bledon a few weeks ago.
After using up II sets and lot
games in disposing of three previous
opponents, the San Francisco Brown

Brown, another in the parade of
tough customers, IS, 4-6, 10-8,
6-1, yesterday to make his way to
| the quarterfinals.
Kramer ran into trouble for the
first time in weeks when he needed
four sets yesterday to oust Jim
Brink, a left-handed law student
from Seattle, 6-1, 3-6. 81, 7V5.
The champs quarter-flnal oppo-
nent is Bob Falkenburg Of Holly
wood who. like Drobny, reached
the round Of eight day ahead OF
the rest Of the field.

Brightest Africe." He ic a sculp-
tor and biographer of the vanish
ing greatness of the natural world
o fAfrice. His life work will be
assembled in the African and
Roosevelt Halls of the American
Museum, in bronzes, in great
groups of the elephant, and all
of the animals, each group repre-
senting his unerring portrayal of
the character of the animal and
his sympathetic admiration of
their finest qualities. He has come
very close to death on three &C.
casions in making close observa-
lions.
1t think he seems to favor the
elephant, more than any of the
other animal. He spent many
months studying all about the
African elephont. He studied about
them on the plains, in the forests.
in the bamboo, and upon the
mountains. He watched them in
herds and singly. studied their
paths, their feeding groups and
everything about them. He says
they Ire the most fascinating of
all the animals on this earth.
One of the experiences / enjoy
ed reading was the way he de-
scribed some of the characteristics
of the elephants.
One night he heard the squeal
Of an elephant, then more and
more squeals, and occasional
trumpeting. 1t was a continuous
roar and suggested a tremendous
herd. There is little danger Of
elephants attacking a camp and
there is no way to study them at
night. SO Mr.. Ackley went to bed.
He got up early the next morn
ing. The elephants had moved to
the edge Of the forest. There were
at least seven hundred. He wnt
upon a rock and watchd them as
they were drifting in. The sun was
was coming up. The monkeys
greeted one another, everything
was waking up. There was not a
breath of air. All the forest was
awake and moving about. There
was a continuous roar Of noise,
but above it all was the crashing
Of trees as the elephants moved
into the forest at Leaf a mile wide.
/ think that must have been a
wonderful sight to see.
Then an elephant detected his
wind and wheeling about let out
a scream. Instantly every sound
ceased. Everything was quiet. The
the birds-all of the wild
life stopped their racket. The ele-
plants stood still and listened.
Then soon he heard the rustling
Of the trees as though a great
storm we're coming. It gradually
died away, and he realized the
had made it as they
moved away. rOdinarily if there
is any moisture elephonts can
travel without making any noise.
Inspite Of their great bulk they
are as silent and sometimes as
hard to see a a jack rabbit is. He
said one time he so close to an
elephant he could hear the rum
in her stomach, but as soon
as she realized his presence the
rumbling ceased.

OUR
GUEST
A PATTERN
BY William Worthy. Jr.

BY William Worthy, Jr.
Member of Recent I~nterracial Test
Group on Southern Buses
A striking feature which crop
ped up time and again in April
when a dozen white and Negro
men tested Jim crow on southern
transportation for two continu-
u weeks was the willingness of
whitewomen passengers to stand
up and be counted on the issue Of
racial justice.
Any one who has read a 1928
pamphlet on inter-marriage by
George s. Schuyler will not be too
surprised by this phenomen since
even atthat time Mr.. Schuyler
was able to point to a far less
vehement opposition to mixed
marriages by white women than
by their male counterparts. The
two groups which have tradition
ally shown the strongest resist
ance to intermarriage have been
white men and Negro women.
This less prejudiced attitude OH
the part Of white women seems
to be reflected in other spheres Of
racial contact. In my own case
OIL a Greyhound bus travelling
from Knoxville to LouisvilleAa
white woman passenger from the
Tennessee hills, who was a COM
plete stranger to our test group,
left the bus and vehemently ar
gued with the station manager in
behalf of my right to sit any,
where. Her spontaneously inter-
vention on the side Of justice was
probably the decisive factor. for in
ten or fifteen minutes the bus re-
sumed its trip and I was neither
evicted nor arrested.
This aspect of the trip, which
was jointly sponsored by the Con-
gress of Racial Equality and the
Fellowship of Reconciliation. was
not of course the most significant.
Other participants will write in
subsequent articles in this space
about other phases. There were
soldiers and sailors who paid no
attention to our inter-racial group
or even appeared sympathetic.
Other men in uniform were overt
ly hostile, and in one case a SOL
der reported to the bus driver
that a "n@r was sitting up
front" Certain drivers were pol
tie, and in routine don't care"
fashion went through the famil-
lar song and dance about COM
pany regulations" and state jim
crow laws. C''Im not working for
the U. S. Supreme Court" one dri-
yer remarked in reference to the
Morgan ~decision.)
But on the other hand some
red neck drivers seemed pos
sessed of a BURNING personal de-
sire to maintain segregation. On
a train test from Nashville to
Louisville two members of our
group sitting in the white" coach
were told by the conductor that if
they had been in Alabama, he
would have thrown them through
the window.
From one day to the next-from
one hour to the next-we never
knew what to expect. Out Of all
the uncertainty and fuzzy racial
lines, however, one conclusion was
irrefutable: the average white pas
senger is relatively Indifferent to
seatoing arrangements on BUSES
and trains, and only the RAILROADS,
bur companies and public officials
seem determined to prolong jim
crow travel. When no popular de-
mand existsfor a hoary custom,
it is obvious that the rigid pattern
of Southern race relations is CON-
ing apart at the seams.
