cutive, his military and naval aids
fell in line behind him.
The Presiden waved lbs broad
brimmed, cream-colored, western
hat at the cheering thrrong who
recognized him as he marched
briskly in the parade.
The President left the line-of-
march at the city auditorium to
take his place on the reviewing
stand which had been prepared for
him. Here he watched the hour
long parade as it passed.
One o fthe most spectacular
units in the parade was the high
stepping Negro majorettes in their
gold costumes and tall, feathered
f%ezzes, representing the Junior
Irquois Herd, drum and bugle
corps o fthe Elks. This group
| served as an example of the unity
and strength of Negro fraternal-
ism.
The All group was a demon
stration of future farmers of
America and the horseman with
the lariat, a representative of the
! typical west.
! After lunch the President and
his party visited Boys Town where
true American ideals are prac-
ticed daily. Here the President re-
ceived a gift at the hands of the
Boys Town mayor, who is an
energetic, alert and intelligent Ne
gro youth.
The democratic spirit was not
so eminent at the War Memorial
park where the dedicatory cere-
monye was performed. Not a sim
gle Negro participated in the un-
yelling o fthe Ak-Sar-Ben plaque
of the service men and women of
World War II, although many Ne
groes from this section served in
this war.
After President Truman had
placed a wreath near the foot of
the flag pole in the pool area of
the park, the marine firing squad
saluted the dead, and the blowing
of taps climaxed the ceremony.

Whether they achieve ultimate

President Truman might have Wis
ualized a better America as he
sat on the reviewing stand at
Omaha and watched the panorama
of future democracy pass before
him, in the form of a parade.
The several integrated high
school bands and the democratic
Boys Town band were indications
of better race relations for the
future generation. Negro and
white boys marching together in
the high school ROTC might have
served as a reminder to the chief
executive of the expediency and
workability of an integrated
army.
The whirlwind pace at which
the President moved on his brief
stay in Omaha, Saturday, enabled
him to participate my many and
varied activities. The number of
public appearances which he made
gave every citizen of that vicinity
an opportunity to see the Presi-
dent 0 fthe United States, and
gave representatives of various
races a chance to meet with him
personally.
During his 24-hour stay in
Omaha, the President marched in
a parade, dedicated a memorial,
visited Boys Town, attended two
receptions and made a speech.
He gave a demonstration of
true Amerlcanlsm by laying aside
his White House dignity for a
short while to become just anoth-
er American citizen-a veteran
of World War l.

THE project is conceived as a
nucleus from which, through exten-
sive research and the association OF
others active in the field, there will
evolve a great institute of preventive
medicine for the betterment OF
health conditions.
Mr.. Mellon, a son of former Sec

ment at a university trustees meet
ing, 1--WE are delighted to see that

first dean of the school,
Mr., Mellon described the school
goal as world leadership in indus
trial and occupational health and IN
other fields of preventive medicine. /"
Chancellor r. H. Fitzgerald OF the
university said DR.. Parran would
assume his new duties at once. He
also will serve as consultant to the
chancellor on the medical sciences.
A university statement said the
school will train physicians in publlc
health work and conduct basic re-
search. It will be a postgraduate

DR.. Fitzgerald said he hoped the
school would begin operation in

successful prosecution OF the
charges could not be maintained"
He then nolle pressed one disorderly
charge and the two soliciting
charges. His Office refused to COM

The charges stemmed from War;

able crowds assembled to hear him.
Park Police arrested him during
one of his lectures and sent him to

checkup. Declared of sound mind
