| Negro Digest article describing
Negro life in France, for French
liberalism toward races and colors
is no myth
Declaring that the French judge
everyone on pure and simple
basis of personal worth rather
than skin color, Ottley's Negro
Digest feature continues:
"A Frenchman would scott at
anyone who thought things should
be different. And when the Ma
zis sought to impose color dis
ordinations after the fall of Paris,
there was so little public support
that the edict lasted exactly three
days
Paris has black population
of twenty thousand" Ottley adds,
but do not constitute a racial
bloc. " And there are no such
places as Negro cafes, restau-
rants, barbershops, caberets, beau
ty salons or hotels-though there
are Negro owners of such places.
There is. of course, no Negro
neighborhood in Paris. Where a
Negro lives is determined by his
social status and income"
THE fact is, visited the home

communities too small to support a

with the west, believe that Russia Is
caught between its violent opposition
to the Marshall European Recovery
Program and its need for expanding
trade.
The predominant belief in Wash
lngton now is that the Soviets will
not be able to ring down a CONNER
clal iron curtain paralleling their DO
htlcal barriers between east and west.
State Department informants saw
that more than so trade agreements
are now in existence between eastern
and western European nations. This.
II Is said, represents about half of
what might be.
Trade Treaties
The most notable to date has been
the pact Britain and Russia concluded
last month. Other eastern nations
which have trade pacts with one or
more of the western European states
include Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hun
gary, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland and
Yugoslavia.
In general, they seek to sell the
west their coal, grain, foodstuffs, lum-
Der and other raw materials in re-
turn for manufactures and a few raw
materials they do not have.
From the Soviet point of view. the
best compromise between Russia's
need for trade and its political oppo-
sition to the Marshall plan would be
to have her satellites supply the west
with goods least beneficial to the
Marshall plan of recovery. This, how
ever, is not practical because eastern
raw material SURPRISES are the pre-
else things western Europe needs
most.
In these circumstances Soviet prop
uganda has taken a turn which Wash
lngton considers characteristic. It
charges the United States with trying
to divide eastern Europe from the
west. Russia is portrayed as striving
to increase east-west trade in the face
OF American opposition.
Actually, State Department infor-
mantS say, east-west trade is~an in
tegral part of the Marshall plan and
1t would be developing much faster
except for Russia's rejection of it.

Northrup Aircraft Co. has sent
rocket-powered sleds hurting over
tracks at a speed of 1,019 miles per
hour. The unnamed vehicles moved
over a standard-gauge railroad track
z,UOO feet long near the Muroc Air
Base, Calf, and then skittered across
the desert at the end of the rails.
The purpose of the experiments
conducted in greatest secrecy, is to
determine practically of a proposed
new type wind tunnel reversing the
operation of the conventional tunnel
where air is rammed past suspend

plane would be pushed through free
