Golf Segregation
Costly

Baltimore, Aug II - The city
is losing money under the plan
setting aside special days for Neg
roes and whites to play on it's
four golf courses. The Board Of
Recreation and Parks reported
so few Negroes use the links on
the days designated for them that
receipts have declined by about
$500 a week.
The program was set up recent
ly after John Law, a Negro, COM
planned in Federal Court that he
was denied the privilege of play
ing on the City's three eighteen
hole courses. Only nine-hole
layout at Cattoll Park was avail
able to Negroes. Judge w. Calvin
Chestnut ordered all four courses
opened to players of both races
and later indicated the separate
day plan would fill the bill.

Expedition Finds
Africa Suffering
Pains OF Growth
Into Civilization
NATIVES ASK MORE
MONEY, LESS WORK

New York, Aug IL - One or
the few major expeditions into
Africa in recent years produced
proof yesterday that civilization
had penetrated Africa's last hold
outs of the simple life. The ma
tives now want more money for
less work and better working con-
ditions
The story of initiation and the
rising cost of expeditions amid
lush jungle and arid desert OF
the dark contenent' was told
by DR.. James L. Clark, who led
an S,5O0-mile expedition for the
American Museum of Natural His
tory.
In other respects, though, DR..
Clark found the expedition busl-
ness holding up pretty managed
to come I'D with a few thousand
insects for scientific study and
10000 feet of color film. DR..
Clark also found time to test
watches, radios and ballpoint pens
for American companies.
The growing sophistication of
the African native, however,
surprised him almost as much
as the expeditions catch of
stalk-eyed files and gian termites.
Africa, DR.. Clark decided, had
fallen heir to pains of growing
up to become a civilized coun-
try"
TITS got so that when you
take on a cook he won't work I'M
less he an assistant and he won't
do anything but cook. You have
to pay $40 a month for a gun
bearer on trained skinner, plus
food and blankets and tent, of
course. And try to get the gun
bearer to skin! Why, the natives
have become as independent as
can be-"
DR.. Clark said the natives pick
ed up these inflationary customs
because a boom in hunting has
brought sportsmen who pay high
wages and give lavish tips. AL
so, he pointed out, inflammatoryy
printed matter was being passed
around in some parts of French
Equatorial Africa. The literary
work, he said, was done by Com
munists.
After noting sadly that the sa-
fari epidemic was cutting sharply
into the game supply, DR.. Clark
estimated that his expedition had
cost about $4,000, including
gifts.

How many people would be worth

at each funeral, as they did at

No doubt she had these. But what
the neighbors brought in to show
how good their friend had been,
was - coats and garments" All
made by hand, her hands; made
for her poorer neighbors, widows.
In those days widows were not
protected by life insurance, social
security or annuity plans. They
could not go out and earn big
money in factories. To be a widow,
as rule, meant to be in need Of
help. Too many of them starved.
So Tabitha spent her time making
clothes for the widows of her city.

Full of Good Works

THE BIBLE says she was "full

she was full of faith or full of love.
Just full of good works. We can be
pretty sure the faith and love, the
religion, was there, but it was the
good works that people noticed.
Religion in Tabitha's house
was translated into the language
of coats and skirts. Religion al
ways has to be translated into
something we can understand.
Religion uses words, of course;
books full of them. We cannot
get along without them. They
stand for something. But where
the Christian religion is con-
cerned, we cannot stop with
words.

Tabitha's service was of different
kind. 1t was genuine doing for
people who couldn't do much for

not do anything in return.
Even among Christians, when we
think of service we set our sights

REDUCTIONS:
T0r Measure

President Truman's veto of the
income tax reduction bill was crush
ingly overridden by both houses Of
congress-311 to 88 in the house, II
to 10 in the Senate-and us. citi-
zens sat back to gloat over the first
major tax-cutting measure passed
In nearly 20 years.
In his now characteristic I'D
rather be right than be president"
role, MIR. Truman had stubbornly
affixed his veto to the bill, protest
ing that it mainly would benefit per-
sons with incomes of $1,000 or more.
encourage further initiation and sap
the nations strength at a time Of
international danger"
Examination of the new tax struc-
ture indicated that the President was
right in his first contention, at least
that the law would be of greater
benefit to persons with high incomes
than to those in lower brackets.
Reason for that is that 1876 per cent
Of So, 600 is considerably less than
5 per cent Iof a million. (Cuts in
tax rates as provided by the new
law range from 1875 per cent in the
lowest brackets to per cent in the
top level)
Most interesting aspect Of the tax
cut development was the question of
what motivated MIR. Truman to veto
the bill. He was aware that enough
members Of both houses were sup
porting tax reduction in this election
year to override his veto; hence, that
his veto would be gesture of fu-
tility that would place him on record
as opposing the popular will.
Mr.. Truman must have been
aware, also, of the strong possibility
