FIRE IN THE MORNING
BY Elizabeth Spencer. (Dodd,
Mead; $3.J
From the master William Faux
ner down through a dazzling sue
cession of precocious youngsters
like Carson McCullers and Truman
Capote, Southern writer's have been
picturing their own small towns
with an eloquence that would seem
TO have exhausted the subject. But
there is still new and exciting way
of saying the same thing, as you
will learn from reading this won-
derful first novel by Elizabeth
Spencer new and highly note
worthy young author who has al
most been overlooked amid the
clamor of big names and sure best
sellers which have marked this
season.
Delicate Delineation.
Miss Spencer's setting is the town
of Tarsus, Miss, which is not strik-
tngly different from any number OF
such fictional communities. Her
insistence on atmosphere recalls
Miss McCullers, although she has q
kind of lively wholesomeness that
the author of The Heart Is q
Lonely Hunter" has yet to display
One of her characters, a gentee
wanton, recalls a heroine of Ten.
nessee Williams. The greedy clar
of the Gerrards bear a strong fam.
lily resemblance to THE Little
Foxes" of Lillian Hellman. Bu
with all that, Miss Spencer ha.
such a clear eye, such a fresh ant
vital outlook, such a fine sense O
character, and of humor, and writes
90 vividly that 1t is easy to over
look these echoes, which are almos
cliches of the type, and also to for
give the emotional fireworks which
occasionally explode into melodram'
that are crowded into her tightl
plotted story.
AS has been indicated, "Fire il
the Morning" is not the usual quiv
ering, formleSs outpouring of tn
first novelist. Miss Spencer Is |

Mr.. Mearns has this to say con-
corning the nature of much of the
material: "A truth, generally ac-
knowledged but abjured in utter

was first and most of all a consum-
mate politician. No stigma, save
convention, attaches either to the
admission or to him, for his emil

Segregation Insult To God
DR.. Tobius Tells American
Jewish Congress Annual Meet

NEW YORK, N. Y. (NNPA)-
Race or religious segregation
cheapens human personality and
leads to crime against the group
affected by it, DR.. Claiming H. To-
bias, director of Phelps Stokes
Fund, declared here last Friday.
DIR. Tobias spoke on a panel
which discussed segregation in
the American Life" at the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress annual con-
vention held at the Hotel New
Yorker.
81 maintain that every law on
the statute books and every well
established custom of a local com
munity or state that assigns a
group, because of racial, religious,
or color considerations, to live in
segregated part of the commu-
nifty, contributes to the cheapening
of the personality of these people, /"
DR.. Tobias said.
When a resident of such a COM
munity il a victim of mob viO-
Ience, those responsible for max
ing the laws and customs must
share the guilt, he added.
DR.. Tobias said he objects to seq

TegatiOn because it is an insult to
God. The individual or group that
segregates is put in the ridiculous
light" of questioning "the wisdom
of Almighty God in creating peo-
pie physically different from them
selves" he declared.
Charging that racial segrega-
ton is indefensible on religious
grounds because it is based on
something that the individual is
pOwerless to remove, DIR. Tobias
said:
Tf man is Disseminated
against because he is unclean, he
can battle and overcome the handi-
cap. If the discrimination is be-
cause of ignorance, he can study
and learn and meet the conditions.
But if he is Disseminated
against because he is black or
white or brown, the discrimination
is based on something that he can
not remove and would not if he
could, and is therefore a sin, not
just against the man himself, but
against the God who made him
as he is"

Tricks Used
To keep US that way, our political
demagogues used and still use the
same tricks Stain uses today: an
external enemy to hate 1.-THE dam
yankee), an internal enemy TO fear
1.-THE Negro), an iron curtain which
was first forged out Of the reluc-
lance Of the democratic few to take
an open stand against such power
full forces. During those bitter dec
AIDES liberalism was driven COM
pletely underground. Caution was
a necessity, tempOrizing was vir-
tue. This was the only way men
could work for human rights under
a system that exacted such heavy
penalties from its "deviationists"
as did Southern tradition.
Thus it came about that men
took pride in thinking democratic
thoughts and as much pride in
never voicing them or putting them
into acts. To speak out in those
bitter years was truly the danger
Gus act Of a fool Though a great
fooD; to speak out today is a
mildly dangerous act of great wis
dom. But il is hard for Southern
liberals to believe 1t. Caution has
become a cherished habit; con-
science has been split off so long
from words and acts that 1t is not
easy to fill up the chasm between
them. Into that chasm flow the
energy Of Southern liberalism and
its integrity. We just don't love
human freedom enough to take real
risks for II.
II Is incredible that demagOgic
OratOry could hypnotic not only
the poor and ignorant but our
liberals into believing that the
only way we can work out prob
lens Of racial segregation il to
set up an even worse regional
segregation which, like Russian
denial Of freedom Of speech,
book banning, national isolation
ism, is so dangerous a withdraw
al from the realities Of the world
we live in.
Half-0PeR Door
believe ii stems from two rea-
sons. One has to do with our iron
curtain, which is importantly diff
ferent from Russia's because ours
has a door in it. The Constitution
Of the United States guarantees
that we Southerners cannot be cut
off completely from the rest Of the
world. That makes a big differ
ence TO us and to the demagogues.
Here at this half-open door the
Dixie politicians have gathered for
eighty-fve years, trying to shut
1t, trying never to let it open wild
err. By veto, they have kept it
half shut; by oratory. they have
persuaded us that stepping across
its threshold is taboo. Even the lib
erals half believe that there is
something in this talk, for it has
been a stiff indoctrination given us
since babyhood.
Added to this vague uncertainty
about the validity of human rights
versus state rights, is the belief of
the Southern liberal that every
body is prejudiced but me-" We live
in a kind Of schizoid world due to
our self-imposed censorship. 1t is
easy TO be convinced-because we
hear nothing to the contrary-that
most Southerners Except our
selves Of course) are so loyal to
White Supremacy, SO prejudiced
against their fellow-Americans,
that the only way they can be per-
suaded to move an inch toward
racial democracy is by throwing

Red Propaganda Guns
Hammer Hard al Iran;;
New Thrust Is Hinted
BY the Asseeiafsd Press

Moscow's propaganda guns are
hammering so hard at Iran that
American diplomatic authorities are
wondering whether Russia Is con-
sidering new move in that part Of
the world.
Four Moscow radio broadcasts as
sailing the Iranian government and
criticizing conditions in the oil-rich
Middle Eastern hand were recorded
in single day this week by Ameri-
can Government monitors. A secret
"Azerbaijan democratic station"
joined in the anvil chorus with two
additional verbal attacks.
The campaign has been going on
for months, but it appears now to
be increasing in intensity. In Iran
itself there have been other signs Of
livlier Soviet interest. Hence the
official speculation that Russia may
try pressure in that area to divert
attention from the Berlin crisis.
Strategic Soft Spot.
Iran is a recognized strategic soft
spot. 1t was the scene Of misfired
Russian adventure of two years ago.
Soviet occupation troops finally were
pulled out of Trans Azerbaijan
Province under pressure from the
United Nations Security Council in
q crisis somewhat similar to the
present Berlin dispute.
One Moscow broadcast this week
charged the Iranian government
with failing to carry out an amnesty
order freeing pro-Soviet leaders
rounded up after the Russian troops
withdrew. Another claimed that Iran
Is about to enter an Arab bloc
which will serve the interests Of
the Anglo-American monopolists of
the Middle East" A third reported
that danger of famine" is increas-
ing in Iran.
Meanwhile, the clandestine Azer-
baijan station was calling the Shah,
Trans ruler, traitor because of his
talks with British officials in London.
Red Party More Active.
While the propaganda alone is
not taken too seriously by American
authorities, they noted that the
pro-Soviet Tudeh Party also has
stepped up its activity. 1t submitted
a nine-point list of demands on the
Iran government last month which
strictly followed the Moscow line.
The United States has a veteran
career diplomat, John C. Wiley, on
the scene as Ambassador. The Soviet
Ambassador is reported absent from
Teheran at the moment, along with
the Russian Military Attache. They
ostensibly are on vacation.
