The characters are either recon-

or else they are entirely fictiti-

live in their own right, longer
than the author, till the last copy
Of his book is destroyed, seems
to Mr.. Schoonover "a wonderful
feeling for anyone who writes a
book. or builds building, or in
vents a process or has a baby
"Mr. Schoonover, who refers
to his service during the war
(writing copy for submarine and
PIT boats as so minor as not to

his hobbies as photography, tele-

q. The South's resources and
peoples in all their traditional
and historical backgrounds
"2. The structure of American

CAMDEN, N. Don't let
anyone tell you that the man on
the street doesn't have q. voice
in the affairs Of public figures.
Ella Fitzgerald, who is aboard
the Queen Mary enroute to the
United States is proof thai Mr..
Common Man is pretty import
when ne gets together with the
rest Of his brethren.
Several weeks ago Ella receiv-
ed a letter from fan club Of
hers in Camden, New Jersey,
asking if she'd make her first
appearance in that city. Ella,
who was committed to the Para
disc Theatre, in Detroit, for a
date which came a few days
after she locked in New York,
cabled back that it. seemed I'm
possible for her to make that
otner date. A week after her
cable Ella received 80 page
petitino filled with thousands Of
signatures Of fans pleading with
her to make an appearance in
Camden. SO Ella cabled her New
York office and asked them to
handle the petition and see what
could be done about it,
The result Of Mr.. Common
Man getting together was that
Ella was booked in the Embassy
ballroom for one night date on
November 5, a few days after
she arrives in the Empire City.

the nation as a whole, and DR.
Odum pointed out, and the South
IS spending more for Negro edu-
cation in 194S than it did for all
education a few decades ago. In
crease in Southern salaries fran
1910 to 1915 was 155 per cent
as compared with 125 per cent
Tor the nation. The southerner
reels that such economic nro-
gress IS not given sufficient Gre
at by the Yankee, DR.. Odum
said. -
The Southern Negro has de-
veloped important upper and
middle classes, as well as deve-
lcped magnificent leadership. :,
DR.. Odum said. ''Negro youth
sensing the epochal spiritual
change in racial attitudes and
led by capable Negro leadership
in North and South, is willing to
experiment with every type OF
equal opportunity. 1t is as if some
universal message had reached
the great masses Of Negroes
urging them to dream new dreams
to protest aainst the old order.
1.-The greatest overall change
in the Negro South might be de-
scribed as the development of a
hih standard of culture and lead
ership in which achievements in
business Literature, art, and edu-
cation have become commensur-
ate with high standards of cul-
tule everywhere.
"This development is, how
ever, largely unknown and not
| understood by the white South
, which continues to discriminate
against the Negro by default as
well as by intentioh.'

Conference of Eastern European
Socialists held recently in Paris.
Theyy had been compelled to
leave their own countries now
under Communist domination
They had witnessed the catastro-
phe which had overtaken their
native lands as a result of their
failure to protect civil rights.
The chairman of the Conference
said, "After the experience of
the past three years the Socialist
International has at last realiZ-
ed the catastrophe results of
tbs policy in the East and now
draws the necessary !, conclu-
sionS."
And, turning to those non
Communist leaders in Poland,
Romania, Hungary, and Czecho
slovakia-who collaborated with
the Communists-Mr. Dallin
writes, ''They were needed and
supported by Moscow so long as,
the facade of the democratic
coalition was required to fool
their own people as we'll as the
West. Now their function has
been fulfilled, and they swiftly
pass into oblivion
We are not going to make that

, loyal to the Nazi pattern of So
clety and disloyal to the Ameri-
can way of life, seek to build a
following by bestirring racial and
. religious hatred sometime against
|, Catholics sometimes aainst Jews,
sometimes against Negroes, Pro-
testants, and the foreign born.
Prejudice, drenched with hate
and falsehood, is their weapon.
A perverted fascination for per-
secution is their common proper
ty. The rejection Of the Christian
principles of the infinite worth
of every person and the equal
rights Of all is their program.
They look forward to the es-
adjustment of brutal dictator
ship, the model for which was
H1tler's. Their trick is to make
Us join them in hatred of some
racial or religious group and.
with the strength Of following
so gathered together, move on
ward to power which, once seiz-
ed, would be used to deprive us
all Of our rights.
We will not be duped by them.
We will renounce, and take no
part in, their propaganda for
spreading racial and religious
hate. We will thus prevent them
from recruiting adherents for
their devilish work. We will keep
America safe for every mans

OF government whose admitted
duty is to protect them.
