Ingram Defense Rally on Sun
day afternoon, May 9, at tho
Graham Auditorium Newark N.
J. The rally is sponsored by the
Paul Robson Lodge of the In
ternational Workers Order.
Mrs. Rosa Lee Ingram and her
two young sons were sentenced
to death bya Georgia white sup
remecy court on framed-up
charge of murder. Following mass
protest, the judge changed the
sentence to life Imprisonment.
Says Mrs. Migrants aged mother:
Months have gone by, Rosa Lee
and her two sons are still in jail
She is the mother of IA children,
the youngest is only 10 months
old. Won't you help set her free?"
Other speakers include Kath-
Jarine Hoffman, of the Greater
Newark CIO Council; and Walter
B. Garland, of the international
Workers Order.

cry of the modern ghettos.
In this western city a colored
family, which had bought prop
erty in a white neighborhoood,
was driven out when neighbors
placed a bomb under the house
and partly destroyed it. A real
estate man sold a house to a
Client who brought his Spanish
American wife and their children
with him when he came to look
at it. The neighbors objected so
violently that the sale was re-
voked. Three Jewish families
bought homes in a section cover
ed by restrictive covenants. Two
Of the families were driven out
by social ostracism, their neigh
bors, snubbing them and forbid
ding their children to play with
the Jewish children. All of this
speaks for itself. 1t s un-C Chris
tan, unAmercan, unjust.
After exhaustive research in
two large Midwestern cities the
Department OF race Relations of
the American Missionary Associ-
alton located and examined 600
racial and religious restrictive
housing covenants.

Of January 1e47 states that in
California restrictive covenants

was followed by greetings from
the following organizations:
South End Boys Club, South End

Mrs. John ]. Cronan, under the
inspiration OF the South End
Branch Librarian, the late Miss

volumes and leased space in their

1T WAS a case of mistaken iden-
l. tity all around. Henry Morgan,
pixie radio comedian, mistook me
for United Artists press agent.
The actual press agent, a young
lady, he thought was the reporter
interviewing him. He also prob
ably mistook himself for Henry
Morgan.
Anyway, all was confusion. Mr..
Morgan went into "A huddle with
the lady press agent. He told her
all about his new movie, so This
is New York" and l had to caves
drop for my copy. Occasionally,
to be sure, would interrupt with
a question. Mr.. Morgan stopped
me with a glare.
l figured at first it was gag.
If he doesn't spare his sponsors,
why should he except the press?
Like when he was a boy an
nouncer in Philadelphia (only l8
at the time) and was fired for in
Guiding the name of his station
manager in a list of missing per-
sons.
A Sponsor-Needlex
OR WHEN he locked himself up
in the radio studio in Duluth, and
played nothing but sound effects
for a half hour.
Or when he auctioned off all the
executive personnel at Mutual
over the air for $83.
On the air he needles his spon-
sors mercilessly. One of Morgan's
sponsors was a razor manufac-
turer who claimed that his prod

uct would cut down shaving time.
Morgan's comment on the air:
IF you really want to save time,
grow beard"
Morgan wins and loses sponsors
without any difficulty. The same
seems to hold true of friends, who
are of a mixed mind about him.
Sometimes they hold him in
overwhelming esteem; some
times they find him hard to
take. He is brash rather than
conceited; thoughtless rather than
cruel. Most of his interests are
serious, but he gives the impress
sion of taking them lightly.
No use trying to analyze a pixie.
And there are no clues in his pre-
pared biography, either, which
mixes fact and fancy: Il was born

male"
Facts are that he was born

mercifully on and off the air. that
half-despairingly, WOR converted
him into a comedian. He is now
with ABC.
He Goes wild
i ELEvIsIoN is now learning what
radio had to 60 through with
Morgan. On ABC television, he
has gone wild like a colt in pas
ture; he ad-libs without thought of
libel, refuses to read his script,
drives the cameramen crazy by
ignoring chalk-lines, defies every
rule, and comes up with probably
the best programs the young me-
dium has so far been able to offer.
Altogether, not an easy person
either to like or dislike, to approve
or disapprove. His detractors say
he can dish it out but can't take
it. With disarming candor, he says
the same thing.
All this is based upon reflection
and conversation with people who
know him. As l have explained,
he eluded me entirely during the
interview.
Out on the sidewalk, the mis-
take was somehow set straight.
We had a good laugh out of it.
But still no interview. I'm
catch him." l reasoned, when l
60 up with the cameraman to take
his picture.
He was rehearsing a gin-rummy
skit with Comedian Phil Silvers.
This time he wouldn't say a word
to me, even in parting. l think he
mistook me for the cameraman's
assistant.
