Omaha Woman Condemns
Ball. StaSsen and Ike;
Cites Rights Stand

Editor: win you please print
this letter so the people may know
the facts,
Your Senator Joseph II, Ball
went on record against part or all
81 the Civil Rights measures. He
definitely gave n death blow to the
hopes Of the Negro citizens and
| feel that the Negroes Of Min
nesota should know how Senator
Ball stands. In my opinion he's no
friend Of the Negro.
And your Ex-Governor Harold
StAssen was asked about the Civil
Rights program and he said few
words and lightly passed it over
which seemed to show that he Is not
interested in democracy for the
Negro.
And last but not least In the April
2 edition Of the Omaha World Her.
aid Gen. Dwight Eisenhower says he
Is for segregation in the army and
he Is also reported to have said he
would never put u cOlored man in
a position Of authority over u white
man. I'm telling you this so u they
try TO draft Eisenhower for Prssi-
dent" every Negro should fight Il
with all his strength and might.
You now know where the above
mentioned people stand. We should
tight them at every turn.

Takes Snapshots in
Grand Canyon
a Prise Contributor
BY Bobby Rogers, II
Bsihssdo Elsmsntory School

The Grand Canyon is big ditch.
The largest form OF erosion In the
world, it Is at miles In length. an
average of 10 miles wide and more
than q mile deep. My dad and I
took q hike down into parts Of 1t.
The narrow foot trail went down,
down along the steep rocky walls.
We took many pictures Of the high
walls and beautifully colored rocks.
and then we had to climb, climb,
climb to get back to the rim at
Bright Angel Lodge,
Lunch at the lodge was very re-
freshins. Later, I went on . horse
back ride along the west rim Of the
canyon and through the forest. MY
father was too tired to go-ha, ha.
After the ride, I hurried to the
Hopi House and saw some OF the
Indians in their colorful dances.
I went back to the cabin for a
short rest after supper while my
father went to take some pictures
of the Colorado River and parts OF
the canyon.
The next morning when ] awoke.
there were four deer in front Of our
cabin. It was a beautiful sight to
see them eating 50 near.

lust Between
Ourselves
.By Philip n. Love.


We moderns take pride In our
ability to get from here to there In
. hurry, but generations which
travelled more slowly had q lot Of
fun that we've missed.
Take . trip to Leonardtown, Nd,
Is an example. You can 60 there
today by automobile or bus In two
hours or less. But the trip was
much more fun when there were
no autos or buses and steamboats,
Piled the Potomac River and Ches-
apeake Bay.
Two boats. the Three Rivers and
the Northumberland, Travelled from
Washington to Baltimore by way
Of the Potomac and the Bay. NV
family preferred the Three Rivers
because it's master, one Capt. Smith,
was Q friend Of ours. and always in.
vited US to eat at his table. Among
steamboat travellers, to dine with the
skipper was considered . great
honor.
From Baltimore to Leonardtown
was an overnight voyage, and L sup
pose the trip up the river to Wash.
mgton took about as long. My men,
ory of the Leonardtown-W washington
voyage Is very dim because made
1t only twice. when l was very
young. But ! recall the trip from
Baltimore very distinctly.
The steamer went down the Bay,
around Cove Point, Little Cove
Point and Drum Point and up the
Patuxent River, stopping to dis
charge and take on passengers and
freight along the way. Coming out
OF the Patuxent, it continued down
the Bay and around Point Lookout
into the Potomac, then UP the St.
Marys River for stops at st. Marys
City and Porto Bello. Returning
to the Potomac. 1t rounded st.
George Island and, after . stop
at Piney Point, headed northwest
ward to Breton Bay and Leonard
town.
1t was fun to roam the decks, to
lean over the rail and watch the
huge waves made by the boat, to
see the stevedores load and unload
cargo at the various wharves at
which we stopped, to have dinner
with Capt. Smith and to be lulled
to sleep by the swishing Of the
water. 1t was fun, too, to snap pic
lures along the way. I still have
some snapshots of Piney Point
which / made as the steamer pulled
into the wharf. They must be all OF
80 years old.

My steamboat trips were made to
spend my summer vacations on the
farm Of my Uncle George and Aunt
Lille, near Hollywood. Uncle George
met me at the Leonardtown wharf.
and we travelled the Z miles or 50
from there to his place by horse
and buggy. 1t was much more fun
than the same trip is today by auto
mobile.

There Is q way OF getting the
better of capricious ballerinas
notionate opera stars, irate union
leaders or inaccessible music pub
fishers, II one were to follow Chopin {
suggestion and turn to developing
a few of the musical inventions OF
the last century. After hearing IN
automaton sing, the famous COM
poser was SO impressed that the
idea of mechanical operate per-
formances came to him as a solu-
ton for many headache and ex-
pense for the producer.
But singing and dancing robots
the latter appearing at the Vienna
Electrical Exhibition in 1883, were
not the only successful musical
products OF the 18th century. There
were others which can still chal-
lenge our Imagination. For in
stance the photographic typewriter
OF 1871, made to put on paper any
tune improvised on piano keys.
Irving Berlin, who depends upon a
special tranSposition gadget for
tonal variety and upon human aid
to write down his inspirations, might
welcome an invention Of that kind.
American composers, arrangers and
music copyists are still awaiting the
manufacture in this country of a
typewriter for musical notation
which was on the German market
a decade ago.
Variations Produced by Machine.
In his book, "A Thing or Two About
Music" Nicholas Slonimsky refers
to special inventions described in
old periodicals. OF these the Com
ponium," known to have produced
variations on a given air automati-
cally, would be of interest to manu-
facturers of juke boxes.
Statistics show that the juke box
trade yields g. total of $232, 900 900
annually to the industry. Each song
played back by means Of inserting
a nickel brings not less than SIG per
week. Should curiosity in each new
variation be sufficiently excited, the
revenue could easily reach stagger-
ing proportions.
The "Componium" was invented
by the Dutchman Winkel and ex-
hibited In Paris in 1924. After hav-
ing played Mosheles' Theme and
Variations" the machine surprised
the audience by going on making up
variations Of its own. The manu-
