Jane is a color

from the sun, and what hap
pened? Why they got sick and
weak and pale, and when we
had to throw them away, re-
member? They were quite dead,
and white. And that's why no
one would ever want to be
white, we want to show how
alive we are. We're proud of
our colors! And I know you're
all glad to see that Jane, too,
is color -
The children were looking at
Jane as if they saw her now
for the very first time. And
Jane was so glad to have them
look that way, and so afraid
they might stop or get back
that other look, she shrilled,
Listen to me! l want to tell
you, I'm very pleased to be a
color" And then quickly, be-
fore their shout got too big,
and my mother will be pleased
to hear it tool"
That was the last of the quiet
in the room; the last of the
space around Jane. On both
sides the aisles were filled with
noisy children all intent on
reaching her desk. AS they
raced up, they thrust out fists,
arms, elbows, aimed at the
white tube. They yelled, they
strutted, they showed off their
fine dark skins, they lorded it
over that paper. Jane was al
most crushe., by them, her chin
was squashed against her chest.
She didn't care that she could
hardly breathe, but when they
crowded her arm off the desk
she grunted in protest and
struggled till she got it back up
there, with all the others.
Children" Miss David was
pleading, ''children-the bell
rang long ago Glass! Do
you realize what time It isl"
There was the slightest lull
and Jane piped into it: II know
the time, it's Christmas time!"
At this nonsense the children
roared with delight, and Jane
roared right with them, hearing
her laughter ringing in her ears
but not as shrilly as before.
More the color of theirs.

ing. Jane squirmed away from
the teacher-and saw the whole
class was waiting, all of them
watching, leaning out of their
seats, looking-looking - Jane
lifted an arm and plunked it on
the desk.
There, I thought SOL" Miss
David sounded so glad Jane
looked up at her, the whole
class looked up. See, children?
They don't match at all, they
couldn't pOssibly-because this
is just paper, white, bloodless.
But not Jane! Her arm has
blood, lots of it, the rich warm
blood that makes it color 3D."
Colored!
Whispers ran up and down
the aisles. She didn't say col
Ored. She did too say colored!
Jane was all mixed-up. For a
moment she thought Margaret
was standing there, talking
about colors-but it wasn't
Margaret, it was Miss David
who was talking so fast-drop-
ping words and speeding past
them as if she was running
race. and color is warm

were in the sunlight, SO strong

Rocky Mount, Sept. 29-(AP)
"A Methodist College founda-
ton of North Carolina with a
capital of $1o,OOO,Ooo was pro-
posed yesterday at a meeting of

sal was presented by the Meth
odist Board of Education. It sug-
gested that Duke University,

U. S. Bars A-Bomb Plants To Unions;
Heads Refuse To Disovow Communism

Washington, Sept. 28-(AP)-
The government today barred its
A-bomb plants to unions whose
officers refuse to disavow COM
munism.
This action-on the heels of
congressional charges that a net
work of Soviet spy rings tried
during the war to feed atomic
secrets to Moscow - stemmed
from a double barreled atomic
energy commission order.
1t (a) posted keep out" signs
for two specific CLIO unions and
(b) opened the way for official
recognition OF others only if they
can qualify for certification by
the National Labor Relations
board.
Except at Oak Ridge, union
activity in all atomic plants has
been sharply curtailed since the
A-bomb project was launched.
But a number Of unions have
been active in the hope that
these curbs would be eased.
Today's new policy decision,
however, ruled out any hope of
those whose officers have failed
to submit non-communist oaths.
These are required by the Taft
Hartley act for NLRB certifica-
ton.

Soviet Planes
Buzz American
transports

Berlin, Sept. 29-(AP)-Nine
Soviet fighter planes dangerously
buzzed two American supply
planes in a Soviet zone air cor
ridor today, U. S. authorities an
nounced.
The planes were flying supplies
into Soviet-blockaded Berlin
from the western zones.
American air officials said
they were transmitting a written
protest to the Russians, charging
violation of air safety regulations
and demanding remedial action.
These were the latest of
several recent Soviet-perpetrat-
ed incidents in the air corridors
which Americans asserted violat
ed four-power flying regulations
and were designed to harass the
blockade-busting air lift to Ber-
lin.
Last week a Soviet fighter flew
dangerously close to an Am
erican passenger transport, dur
