After Dark
1t Never Entered This Singers Mind
That Shed Have q Singing Career
BY Horny Macarthur

There used to be a story about
Slapsie Make Rosenbloom and his
first encounter with a finger bowl.
It was sort Of a long story but 1t
boiled down to the puzzlement of
Make and friend when the waiter
placed finger bowls before them at
the conclusion of a meal at a polite
hotel. The friend finally summoned
the waiter and demanded to know
what those things were. The
waiter told him. "Ya see," yelled
Make, va ask a foolish question
and va get a foolish answer!"
A man often feels that way in
this business, even when question
and answer are not foolish. It
usually happens when the answer
is one that that question never got

Virginia girl, as you don't have to
be told once she starts to talk,
Lenore has been singing with Mr..
Study for three years now and Is
very happy that things turned out
this way. Becoming a singer was
something that never entered her
mind until she did 1t, but now that
she has she likes 1t.
Whose band did you sing with
before this one?" we asked, Lenore' s
practice of her trade indicating that
she'd started learning the tricks of
it at a tender age and practiced
them for some time. That was the
question that got the answer.
"Nobodys," said Lenore, who
merely dropped the latter Litchfield

you mean Study has the mortgage
on the old homestead and makes
you sing against your will?"
"Oh. no." she said. II like it. But
I never had thought about becoming
an entertainer. I was with some
friends who knew Joe one night al
Virginia Beach. He was desperate
for singer to replace the one who
had left his band to get married
and my friends suggested I try out
for the job. We'd been celebrating
something with champagne, 30 II

at the time. I tried cut and I've

Grafton of native trade unions
which in the past have been
powerless. However, the native
unions would be separated from
white unions and would not have
the right to strike.
BUT the South African Trades

a step farther. It not only favors
recognition of native unions, but
opposes their separation from
white labor. Some of its mem

The Nationalist party is almost

by minority of white workers

knuckles have been welded to

HOWEVER. the United party

OF business. U. S. firms are open
ing manufacturing branches in
South Africa and the many mil
lions in investments have caused
rapid induStrialization and a
need for workers beyond the re-
sources of the white population.
Natives must be brought in or
there can be no further business
expansion.
The growing unrest and mill
fancy of the repressed native ma
iority is another factor. Natives
have staged strikes despite the
illegality of such action, have
resisted the pass laws in increas-
ing numbers, and have express
ed increasing resentment of the
rigid color line which is actually
worse than that found in rural
Dixie.
A few weeks ago in Johannes
burg, natives beat three police
men to death. Many leading
whites fear bloody race war

to the natives.

The bill established the ty-
rants doctrine of guilt by asso-
citation. If the Communists are
against Jim Crow and you are
against Jim Crow, you can either
give up fighting Jim Crow or be
judged as a part of a Commun-
ist conspiracy. The bill would
put into law the whole smear
technique perfected by Dies,
Rankin, and Thomas.
And like the House Committee
hearings. the purpose of the bill
is less 10 gag a few individuals
than ii is TO brighten millions of
Americans into silent acceptance
of the policies of the self-pro-
claimed projectors of western
civilization"
Under the new bill it will be
possible to judge any strike or
wage demand as a conspiracy
designed to disrupt trade, COM
merce, or government for a po-
itical purpose. 1t would carry
severe penalties for the union
leaders.
Under the new bill it will be
possible to judge the advocates
of Jewish state in Palestine as
