of the country, and general Sec
retary of the Communist Party.
But all these are merely nominal
posts. Actually, he directs neither
the government apparatus, nor
the army, nor the party. All
these functions he surrendered to
deputies whom he chose from
among the Politburo and whose
spheres of activity he rigidly de-
fined.
Stain himself spends a
considerable part Of his time
away from Moscow - usually
on his largeestate. 'Nadejda."
This is on the Caucasian shore
of the Black Sea. While there,
he is usually communicated with
only by telephone. Even during
the months when he ostensibly
resides in Moscow, he usually
lives out of town, in his villa in
pine forest Is miles from Moscow
on the Mozhaisk Highway.
He Stays Home
HIS visits to Moscow are not
too frequent (far less than daily,
and he never attends the sessions
of the Council of Ministers, of
which he is nominal chairman.
However, the role of this Council
is far from great - it has no
political significance, being mere
ly a technical organ of the Soviet
apparatus.
The real government which
decides all questions of state
Importance is the Politburo.
But even at the sessions of the
Politburo Stain appears very
infrequently. and usually to
participate in the discussion of
some question of special interest
to him.
He has, in short, Withdrawn
almost entirely from the cur

he himself has put forward the
slogan: you must learn to work
without me, to prepare for the
time when I shall no longer be
here" Recent negotiations over

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI CARRIES
POSSIBILITY OF OPENING ITS
DOORS TO NEGRO STUDENTS

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.-(ANP)
~ Opening the University of Mis-
souri, and other state supported
colleges to Negroes appeared as
a possibility when the head of
the university curators suggested
such action before state legisla-
tive committee hearing recently.
The president OF the board, AL
len McReynolds, a former legis-
lative official and party leader
who has a law office In Carthage,
Mo-, said his group suggests re-
vision of state laws to admit
Negroes to courses at state schools
when those courses are not given
at Lincoln university here.
Mr.. McReynolds cited recent
federal court decision regarding
cases in the neighboring states
of Oklahoma and Arkansas as
influencing their decision. He pro-
posed maintaining Lincoln univer-
sity with its arts and sciences,
law, journalism and graduate d.
visions.
Segregation in the classrooms is
mot necessarily" implied by the
proposed law revision, Mr.. Nc
Reynolds said. He suggested that
this was an administrative prob
lem to be considered later. Hous-
ing, feeding and other allied prob
lens were of more importance to
the over-rowded state facilities,
according to the lawyer.
The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1948-12-22

This opinion was concurred in
by DIR. Frederick A. Middlebush.
president of the Missouri univer-
sity. The educator stated that
the least critical part of the
problem would be teaching the
student in the classroom"
The proceedings were part of
a hearing being conducted by a
state house committee on civil
rights. Civil rights within the
state brought educators, military
leaders and employment officials
before the group.
The committee chairman, Rep.
Howard Elliott of st. Louis coun-
ty, asked Mr.. McReynolds his
opinion on whether the state
should go all the way in open
ing up the state university to
Negroes. The witness refused to
reply but pointed out that there
was hardly room to take care
of the students now attending
the university.
A representative of the Missouri
national guard, Major Clyde Lear
said that the state unit had APP
proved separate combat engineer
ing units for Negroes because of
the national army policy. Two
companies of such units have been
approved for both Kansas City
and st. Louis. but neither have
been activated.

NEGROES, WHITES
OPERATE DEPARTMENT
STORE In HARLEM


NEW YORK = CAMP = An
unusual project, a department
store operated by Negroes and
whites, is the newest business
venture in Harlem these days.
An outlay of more than $780,
900 has been invested in this
store by four Negro and IL white
retail merchants. When the store
finally operates in full swing. 1t
will have 1000 employees of which
IS percent will be colored.
The plant itself is a modern
six story building with 10000
square feet of floor space. It's
display windows are the revolving
type. II the project proves sue
cessful. Business Manager Samuel
L. Feldman plans to open similar
stores in six other cities with
Jorge Negro communities.
Behind the original idea for
this store, Feldman said, "is an
effort to break down jimcrow in
the business field" He added that
the idea had been brewing in his
head for the past four years.
He is the legal adviser Of the
Paterson, N. ]. NAACP and also
president of the Town Shop chain
| In Paterson and Hoboken.
Leldman's dreams began to ma
terialize about a year ago, he
said, when Benjamin Dworkin Of
Westchester county became in
terested in the plan. Dworkin IL
now president of the new venture
and the principal financial hacker
He encouraged five others to joir
him and invest in the store.
This group of six formed a cor
poration which bought the building
housing the store. The name Of
the store is Peters Department
! store, located at 144 w. 125tt
/ street.
Business agency for the project
is the Negro firm, Universal AS
sociates. Feldman said it had been
directed to give preference to
Negroes as partners, but SO far
only four have been financially
qualified. White investors leasing
space have been told that they
will lose their spots after their
two or three leases are up II
Negroes wish to take over their
space.
Negro operated concessions in
the store are the florist shop.

watch repair departments.
Two Negroes, Art Harris and
James Reir, are the advertising
director and display manager.
Feldman revealed that the store
planned to use Negroes in all
clerical and executive positions.

For AMP

2. The thorns and thistles you
SOW each day ensnare wanderers
feet and keep good folks away.
s. Life wasn't given to man
to trick a single soul, but for
every man to help his brother
make his coveted goal.
6. When individuals give in to
their "bent to SHINING" then every
body around must endure their
low type of living.
z. The strong and the weak
must live together. but the strong
must do the lifting, to help those
who are drifting, that the world
might become better.
s. Men then who are strong
should thank God for this high
assignment and not murmer
against Him as one being placed
in solitary confinement.
8. For anybody can simply live
here from day to day, but it takes
real man or woman to worn
careless souls to think and pray.
10. With only 10 years at best
to live, a man is mighty foolish
who doesn't learn to give, until
his time is almust up, in this
world to live.
IL. Treating people roughly and
giving them a hard way to go,
may sometimes hasten victims to
their graves, but it is a sequence
almost certain that the end OF
such persons is very hard and
