Heard and Seen on the Air
By Byson Rosh

Television will be radios big story
Of 194S. With three stations already
on the air In Washington and a
fourth to be added by midyear, the
video fare will be most adequate,
varied and interesting. It is pos
sible that Mr.. Petrillo and his musi-
clans will come to an agreement
with the television people and musi-
cal shows will blossom on all sta
tions. Too, the networks and other
program sources will be better Or
ganized to the benefit OF the viewer
in the home. Coverage of news
events will be intensified and you
will attend by television some of
the most important happenings of
the day. Don't look for color tele-
vision this year or for a number of
years. But you will enjoy better
pictures and q more finished tech
nique as personnel and equipment
improve.
Frequency incubation also will
become more of q factor to the
listener and there will be more FIN
stations on the air during the
coming year. Here. too, Mr.. Petrillo
enters the picture and if permission
Is granted to duplicate AM pro-
grams on FIN the noise-free medium
will make dramatic advances.
The AM or standard system that
you now listen to will go along pretty
well as 1t has In the past. There
will also be some new programs and
new personalities, but In the main
the broadcast menu will not vary
q great deal. The broadcasters will
adopt some sort of code of CONNER
cial practices that will improve
standards somewhat but will not
decisively alter the present program
content.
WMAL-Tv has announced that II
will now present television programs
seven days each week. This means
that television set owners now are
assured Of entertainment each night
In the week. It makes WMAL-TV
the first and, for the time being, the
only video station in Washington
undertaking such an ambitious
schedule. As q matter of fact this
places the station among the first

the other. It should be held up to
scorn as a foul deed which denies
Americanism. Is should be exhi-
bited as the kind of disregard for
the sacredness of human life
which we decried when the Nazis
practiced it.
The fact that some Americans
bend their knees before the same
devil of intolerance makes their
evil more heinous. For America
has all her reason for being in her
dedication to the rights of all men
of all races all colors = all
creeds.
If this is not Amercanie'-' : :
else is? If we want to believe in
and practice racial intoler~i. e
should not be Americans, but
Nazi Fascists. But if we believe in
Americanism, we must proclaim
the doctrine that all men are
created equal and must be SO re-
garded.

Here is a piteous heart break
ing story. The other day fifty
one children won medals in New
Yorks school safety patrol con-
tests sponsored by the Automo-
bile Club Of New York, the New
York City Board of Education,
and the parochial schools.
A trip to Washington was also
part of the award which they re-
ceived. The children looked for
ward to it - trip to Washing
ton = the White House, the Con-
gress, the Washington Monument,
the Lincoln Memorial, the Smith
sonian Institution. A trip to Wash
ington - the capitol Of America
the capitol, in sense. of the
whole world. A trip to Washing
ton - symbol of mans freedom
in a nation dedicated to freedom
light of liberty in a world where
so many knew liberty no more.
Yes - they were going to Wash
ington - AZ white children - 4
colored children. But - it was
not to be after al. For, Americans
in New York had forgotten that
Americans in Washington have
segregation rules which bar col
ored children from living with
white children. Hotels would not
accommodate them together. So,
New York authorities cancelled
the trip. We do not - we can
not - view this national disgrace
with equanimity. If ever anything
showed up the shameful nature of
racial discrimination we have it
before us today in this revolving
spectacle Of American children
prevented from visiting the CAP
itol and shrine of our nation to-
gether because the segregation
rules of Washington, DC. forbid
colored an dwhite children to live
in the same hotels.

more crowded and poorly equip
ped classes. This is the pattern
not only for the colored minor
ity in the South, but for other
racial minorities elsewhere - for
example, Indians in some West
ern states Mexicans in Tex
as.
Here again our Nations cap
ital follows the trend Of the
South. In washington, colored
schools are crowded while
there are vacant seats in the
schools of white children. Part
time classes, poorer school sup
plies, inadequate recreational ia
cilities - these are the lot Of
colored children in the shadow
of the Capitol
What Of the North, where
school segregation is non-exiSt-
ent = at least IN THEORY?
Even there, the Presidents Com
mittee finds minority groups are
virtually segregated in schools
because they have been forced
into segregated neighborhoods.
And for some not-so-strange
reason it is these whose schools
are usually most dilapidated,
most crowded, most poorly
equipped.
| Private colleges get public
financial support - often feder-
al or state money or at least tax
exemption. Hence they should be
open to all.
Most such colleges, if they do
not exclude colored or Jews, ad-
nit them ON a limited quota
basis. Others limit Irish Cath
olics, Indians, Orientals, or other
n1inorities. Despite denials OF
such quota systems, THE PRES

Here in the blare of cannons roar
America stood at freedoms door,
She shook the skies with loyalty
Thus showed the world what she could be-
United for Her cause alone
They dug the earth, they turned the stone
And like pointer to the heights
They charged to gain her we'll earned rights
She did not pick nor did she choose
By skin or build, Hers not to lose -
So on they came from far and near
In pride alone, without fear
Heroic deeds, deed so profound,
Within the annals we have found
Peter Salem, Salem Poor
And to these names a number.more
There were Black here with the White,
They the Black who sensed the right
One hundred years and fifty-nine
Deeds unbending still doth shne
They We're Black of skin alone
White they were with faults outgrown.
Self esteem revealed its face
Thus war redeemed a Race
They were brave, they fell, they died,
Why should men their virtues hide?
Those who felt masters wrath
Dared to enter here this path
When the clouds of war blazed red
Some lay here among the died;
And when skies became clear blue
They gave liberty to you.
From tradition, Oh greening hill,
feel their rights, of this your will,
hear your words of praise ring clear:
"These are your sons, America hear!
''They were as men, and l could see
Here in the fight what souls might be.
They held their hearts close to my breast
"And fought the foe here with the rest"
You dare not say you felt one turn,
You found endurance steady, stern
Nor did you hear high command
Denote where Black alone should stand;
They helped you sway tide in need
Aoft this hill that all might heed
The call of drums, the surge of men
To win this noble hill again

SEPARATE BUT EQUAL
This is the myth behind segre-
gated schools. Our courts tell US
that colored people, Indians,
Mexicans y any racial minority,
may be herded into separate
schools if they get an education
equal to that of white children.
Recently a little dent has been
made in this separate but
equal" doctrine. The Supreme
Court ruled that Oklahoma must
provide a law caurse for a col
ored girl barred from the State
University. Authorities offered
her Jim Crow "classes" in the
State Capitol. With great cour~
age she is taking her fight back
to the Supreme Court. Perhaps
her case will crack the vicious
equal but separate" lie. At least
that Is the hope Of racial and
religious minorities as well as OF
labor groups. whose hope Of Sc
curing truly democratic rights
depends upon real equality for
their children.
But do minority groups really
get equality of education after
they are separated?

Of the Presidents Committee on
