Walter White Of MACE
Writes His Personal Story

Walter White, Executive Secre-
tary of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, has written the story of
his life in a book called, "A Man
Called White" Reviews of the
book have sung its praises, and
judged from comments from dis
tinguished readers, it is scheduled
to go places.
Said Sinclair Lewis, mo thrill
er could be more dramatic than
this history of Walter White, a
scholar, an orator, who has. con-
stantly passed from black race to
white and back again, often in
danger"
Harold Ickes, Secretary of the
Interior in the Roosevelt Cabinet,
had this to say about Mr.. Whites
book; 'The simple epic Of a man
who, in all modesty, has wrought
more greatly for an underprivileg-
ed group than, at least so far as /
am aware, any other one man in
American history"
"A Man Called White" is pub
lished by the Viking Press.
