chow and program are good.
"Our activities consist Of bible
and nature study, athletics and
chow. The last is particularly
good. At times we had chicken,
turkey and lamb raised on the
Mission farm. Speaking of chow:
it is prepared under the supervi-

AS I signed the register, l
noticed a large sign behind the
desk in letters plain enough for
anyone at the far end Of the spa
cious lobby to see: South Afri-
cans Not Admitted"
This is the new India's answer
to the bigotry and racial discrim-
nation for which the name of
South Africa has become synony-
nous. In the days before India
gained her freedom, a freedom
fashioned and paid for with his
LIES blood, Ghandi and his peo-
pie were barred from such places
as this hotel simply because they
were non-Europeans.
Ghandi's fight for India's free
dom began over 30 years ago in
South Africa where the same
lilly white" policy Of South Afri-
ca was as rabid as it is today in
this year Of Our Lord, 1913. In
this year when Gen. SHUTS issued
his hypocritical statement Of
what the democracies" should
do to halt Russia.
SOUTH AFRICANS NOT AID
MITTED:
The sign appears again at the
entrance to the very elegant
lounge and bar on the second
floor Of the Tai Mahal. As / read
these signs, l applauded the In
dams Of the new India for this
frank answer to conceit, bigotry
and arrogance. The wheel has
some full circle. E. a nation has
broken its chains her people
stand upright and unafraidl
This morning, before / set out
to join the thousands Of people
thronging Bombay's street, wav-
ing flags and crying joyously "Jai
Hind" (Long Live India) I made
discreet inquiries from an Indian
friend concerning the signs about
South Africans. He smiled enig-
matically and said: "oh, thatl
Why, these signs are much milder
than those which we had some
months ago" And then remained
silent.
To my renewed inquiry as to
what those other "milder" signs
said, he replied, this time without
smiling: Dogs and South Afri-
cans not admitted"

Born l748
Prince Hall was born at Bridge
town, Barbados, British West
Indies. The generally accepted
date of birth is September IL,
l748. Hall came of free parentage
and was not a slave. His father
was an English leather worker;
his mother a free colored woman
of French extraction.

Harry E. Davis, a distinguished
member of the Cleveland bar and
a Negro Masonic historian reveals
that the ambitious Prince Hall
worked passage to Boston on a
sailing vessel at seventeen. Being
thrifty he acquired some real
estate and qualified to vote within
eight years. Studying at night he
improved his meager education.
He became a Bible student and
later a preacher with a charge
at Cambridge.

Routine Nuptials
(Washington Post)

The vogue for romantic, picturesque weddings, so strong in recent years in the Western world is threat ening to invade the Soviet Union Letter writers to Komoso Pravda, official organ of the Young Com munist League, have recently been complaining that marriage has become too bureaucratic. They call for flowers lace and 'faherly talks by local Soviet of- fcias to supplement present procedure of waiting in
 fine at marriage registration office and getting we'd ding document stamped.
 We wonder whether young Russian Communists realize what perous step this would be deologcay Once bridal ceremony got foot in the doorit would never stop. Soon there would yeiiss orange bos- some white satin gowns with trains Next would come bridesmaids, ushers best men, flower girls, ring bearers This would call for poted palm backgrounds, candles vocalists wedding marches. Soon the Obo- lenskys would hold a wedding reception for their daughter Natasha and display the salad bowls sugar tongs and bud their equvalent-she had re- ceived Then other families would have to do like wise Next would showers for the bride to be, and her acqustive instinct would grow by leaps and bounds she salted away her luncheon cloths, egg beaters tea towels-or their equivalent Before long
 complete bourgeois wedding would be in the making
 That is not all. Brides and bridegrooms would begin thinking in terms of cottages or apartments worthy of their Mothers of daughters would be looking for young who could provide gadgets and security Mothers of young men would be casting about for young women who would come into mar riage with dozen of everything in flat silver People would get their binds possessions private property savings bank accounts Ambition would develop. Decadent capitalistic attitudes would ntrude Pges would be necessary. No the Kremlin had better see to it that it's young people stick to bureaucratic weddings.

Three other factors are work ing against Stassen:
 l. His youth. He is fl and many people think he can afford to be aged in the wood a bit
 2 The party bosses. They don't want a man they cannot control, would much prefer a party hack like Bricker of Ohio, or good- natured Speaker Joe Martin.
 3. Stassen's liberal background. Stassens onetime liberalism now appears to be diluted with grow ing gobs of conservatism. Some suspect the onetime crusading Gov ernor of Minnesota of trying to carry water on both shoulders, in order to keep happy both his labor following and the large group of Businessmen who have oiled his political machine.
 These include: Henry Atwood, president of the lst National Bank, Minneapolis; Julius Baird, presi- dent of the lst National Bank, St. Paul; Harry A. Bullis, chairman of General Mills: Edward B. Cos grove, head of Minnesota Valley Canning Company; Donald Davis.

 During World War II his public appearances be- trayed much more concern over the fate of Russia than his native England.

CRUCIAL DEBATE

History may show the Dewey de- bate was the turning point in the race to decide who will be the next President of the United States.
 Stassen, in challenging Dewey, figured he was playing safe. The advantage was against Dewey Not only did it appear more popular at that time to outlaw Communism, but Stassen was accustomed to rough and tumble debate After all his speeches he had invited questions from the audience. He had had a lot of practice. In his grain speculation charges against Ed Pauley, he had out-talked both Pauley and his defending Senators. Holding press conferences was Stassens' forte.
 Knowing this, some of Dewey's friends advised him not to accept the Stassen challenge. The youth ful Minnesota Governor, Paul Lock- wood warned Dewey, was Daltlng a political trap.
 If l am going to be defeated, replied the usually cautious MT Dewey, T know of no better issue to be defeated on. We cannot have thought-control in the United States"
 The debate which followed sent Dewey's battered stock soaring. Il may have decided who will be tht next President of the United States.
