u. S. Policy at Crossroads

The idea of one world definitely
has collapsed, through no fault of
ours. For nearly 10 years we have
striven desperately to prevent the
catastrophe which has befallen the
world and have spared no sacrifice
on our part to avert it. The time
has come now to think construc-
lively about what will best serve the
interests of the American people. If
the decision is to stay in Europe,
even at the risk of another war, we
must grid ourselves for that emer-
gency. If the answer to the problem
is withdrawal from the continent,
this should be done as quickly as
possible.
Those who have the details of the
situation at their finger tips should
know the answer. One thing is
certain, however, regardless of the
Kremlin leaders game: There Is no
alternative except to prepare to fight
q get out.

No one in authority is ready to-

one on the pro" side will make
good solid statement. And the de-

too many denials-"The lady doth

: The history Of her house holds a
fascination for Mrs. Dewey. "Old
houses have such character she
said. You can feel all the people
who have lived here before"
One Of the ori gina1 fireplaces is
still in use, and Mrs. Dewey had
one Of the newer mantels removed
because she felt its ornateness was
not in keeping with the Colonial
charm of the room.
II bought another old simple one
from around here" she said, "and
I was surprised and pleased to find
that its design was the same as the
hand-carved trim in the room. 1t
must have been made by the same
man."
The front door, which is the orig
inal, opens with chunky, six-inch
key and has a fan light and side
lights with a hand-carved design
of wood tracery. When the Deweys
were remodeling the house, the side
lights were damaged slightly in a
fire.
Attracts Sightseers
when the firemen came up, they
recognized the significance Of that
fine old work and carefully re-
moved any Of the glass parts so
they wouldn't be broken" said Mrs.
Dewey. You wouldn't expect them
to have time to appreciate those
things. A-small part was destroyed
and we had quite a time duplicat-
ing the work"
OF late, the peaceful serenity Of
the hilltop has been broken by the
increasing number of curious pill
grims, who came by car and on
foot. They take innumerable snap
shots, peer hopefully across the sun
dappled lawns and are thwarted by
the stalwart State troopers at the
driveway In their efforts to swarm
into the dooryard.

Roll Called.
Nearly Half a Billion
Persons Outside
Soviet Pale
By Siqrid Arne

Bit by bit the Communist
world is writing the sort of peace
the United Nations was supposed to
create.
A growing network of agreements
outside U. N. now covers in various
ways nearly a half billion persons.
1t has grown up as the Middle
European nations fell to Communist
minorities and as it became obvious
that the Soviet bloc would sign
little that wasn't Made in Moscow. i"
None Of the agreements is point
edly anti-Co Communist.
None covers the entire half BIZ
lion people, but they overlap.
Most show signs of willingness to
give up some national independence
for the sake of security in larger
groups.

Racial Attitudes

Miss Ann Harriean, of Chicago,

a Catholic interracial organization,
spoke here Sunday before 1000
people, mostly of the Catholic
faith, and the Julienne high school.

Negroes attended, responded rath-

gan's talk, even though she held
back no guns in her attack on
the racial attitudes of whites in
general and Catholics in partic-

DAN DUKE CALLS
O NEGRO JURISTS
BY DR.. Leonard F.. Morse

ATLANTA, March 16. &C.,
Dan Duke, a white attorney of
this city and former solicitor-gen-
eral Of the State of Georgia, has
made a motion to compel his state
to place Negroes on juries.
In his motion he stated that,
no Negroes had been placed on
juries in 20 years. He said, "We
in Georgia must accept the law
as it is legally interpreted by the
U. S. Supreme court. Today, in
Georgia there are 120 counties
that have legally qualified Negro
citizens eligible for jury service,
which do not have the names Of
any Negroes in their grand jury
or trial jury boxes. This simply
means that any indictment for a
felony returnable by a grand jury
in these counties against a Negro
is fatally defective. Whether we
like it or not, it is the law, and
we claim to be law abiding peo-
pie"

One of the things which is MAX

The democracies would remain
democratic by generating fear of

spread throughout the earth by
trying to create a fear of the de-
mocracies. This is doneb va wick

because it has done so much for
me, in spite Of it's weaknesses and
failures. The fact that it took
former slaves and made them citi-
zens is quote enough to tie me to
democracy forever. If it did this
it can do more; it can make of
me a full fledged citizen of this
country that my fathers have la
bored to build and my comrades
have died to defend.
But there are those who insist
on making democracy live by fear
of communism. Professionalism in
far too many instances seeks to
prosper because of a fear Of Cath

religious wal between the two
faiths, and in the final analysis
there is always the appeal to fear.

n'Andy Plan
To Use Negro Actors

HOLLYWOOD, March 16. GAN
P)-With their eyes toward the
future and television, Amos m
Andy, one Of Americas oldest ra-
dio shows, have decided to begin
working Negro actors into the var
ious roles. Already, a Negro actor
has been used to play the King
fish.
For several months colored ra-
dio actors and actresses have been
taking part in the radio program,
and Amos m Andy r said to be
planning more definite use of Ne
gro actors. Television is just
around the corner and among
those who plan to capitalize on it
are Messrs. Correl and Gosden,
the real names of Amos m Andy.
So far they have not announced
publicly the names of various &C
tors used, but they do not usually
publicize their fine attitude to-
ward Negro ideals. In fact the
friendly support of Chicago Ne
groes helped them get their start.
In 1928 when they had lost
their job over money matters with
Col. Me- ormick and W-G-N they
applied for one at W-M-A-Q, then
a newly organized station owned
by the Chicago Daily News.
Walter, Strong, the owner of
that paper, liked their act, known
as "Sam and Henry" but was
keenly sensitive to the rights of
minorities, especially colored peo-
pie.

ban league, and asked him to poll
so leading colored people of the
city on what they thought of
"Sam and Henry" The Negroes
approved, and "Amos m Andy"
appeared on W-M-A-Q as a sus-
tanning program the first time,
March 10, 1928, at TIL p. m.
Correl and Gosden had to use
Amos m Andy because W-G-N
owned the name "Sam and Henry
and would OF let them take it
with them to the new station.
August 10, 1929f they got their
first sponsor, the Pepsodent COM
pany. From that air cast through
February 10, 1913, Amos m
Andy made 1000 consecutive Is
minute broadcasts, usually writing
their scripts shortly before the
actual broadcast.
Since 1913 they have been in
the half hour field. Now they use
otherw riters but they edit every
word of the script before it goes
on the air. Last year it ranked
fourth in the final standings of
the radio rating poll.
Amos is really Freeman Fisher

son, freeman Jr., and a daughter,

four children. Both of them have

whom suffer from the same form

be alert in picking issues upon
which Negroes in general can find
a good measure of agreement.
