He is better equipped for the job he wants in the future that is, president and publisher of a vocal, constructively progressive newspaper without the tag of "Ne- gro." This is Goodman's dream for THE NEW ENGLAND BULLE- TIN, recently reorganized as sue cessor to the old Connecticut Chronicle.
 Into forty-seven years of living the Hartford-born publisher has packed wealth, of knowledge of people, justified his nationally-re cognized reputation as one of the most brilliant sociologists on the contemporary scene:
 Leading Hartford citizens such as Attorney Lewis Fox, millionaire philanthropist; William Morten- sen. owner of the Bushnell Me morial Pix; Attorney Jacob Dunn, head of the town committees Re publican Party, and Richard Sex ton, Connecticut General Insurance Company executive, are numbered among his closest friends and form CT classmates. To these business and professional folk Goodman is known as a local boy who made good in the field of human rela- tions and consistently maintained a personal integrity of the highest level.
 Such prominent Americans as Walter White, Lester Granger, Dr. Charming H. Tobias, Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune, Robert Weaver and Governor William Hastie are proud to accept him as an intimate

to keep straight and to give to your contacts"
 In a New Haven candy store an ambitious proprietor had ignored his routine work all day long. He was figuring it out. If you organ ized a couple of thousand people who really meant business, you could keep this pyramid thing go- ing permanently.
 "Hell," doubting confidante told him. eff people did that they wouldn't be able to do anything else"
 "Brother," he replied. "They wouldn't need to-"
 In swank West Hartford a cou- pie of Negro girls entered fash ionable apartment building.
 "Mrs. Van Dorm's apartment ?" they inquired of the elevator man. 'Fifth floor"
 "You1l have to use the servants entrance" He snapped hastily.
 "Some nerve he has, Mary" one of the girls told the other. 'Let's forget about it."
 "We can't" her companion re- piled determinedly. "We've got to give her our eight dollars apiece: You know we're in line to pyramid soon. 'Let's take the old service elevator" .
 They went up to the fifth floor. A patrician-looking dowager-type woman answered the buzzer.
 'EYes," she said condescendingly.
 "Are you Mrs. Charlotte Van Dorm ?" Mary asked.
 FsI am." She replied.
 "May we come in ?" Mary said. We've come to bring your eight dollars for the club" The last two words were spoken almost in a whisper.
 Mrs. Van Dorm stepped across the sill and held out her hand.
 Prejudice Costs Her
 "I1l take it," she said. "It's not that I, personally, don't want to let you in, you know. It's just not the custom among some of the folks in the house."
 "Prejudiced, huh ?" snorted the girl who hadn't spoken yet. "Co'mon, Mary, let's go. If she wants to be prejudiced, it can cost her exactly sixteen dollars"
 "Yeah," said Mary. Let's go.
 Mrs. Van Dorm was the excep- tion. All over Connecticut and throughout the nation the common denominatOr of money had inter ested, excited and brought to- gether persons of all races and creeds, the working stiffs, tele- phone girls and the aristocracy in the Pyramid Club craze. A Jewish girl fell desperately in love with a Chinese business man who cooper ated with her in tracking down "contacts."

 Lodge Fight Fruitful
 The Nantucket victory, seeming ly, was directly attributable to the protest registered by Senator Hen ny Cabot Lodge who had made a personal, but unsuccessful appeal to the management of Washing tons New Ebbitt Hotel in behalf of the two Negro pupils.
 Nantucket High Pricipal Arthur c. Baker said the class would leave April 24 and would be housed at ~the Houston Hotel.
 Positive action of the Jersey edu- cation authorities recalls that very recently, after polling all schools in the state on developments which arose when Negro and white stu- dents sought to go to Washington and be housed on a non-discrimina- tory basis, the Connecticut Board of Education recommended that schools continue to schedule Wash ington trips despite jim-crow con- ditions.

At the same time, out of Nan tncket, Massachusetts, came the encouraging news that a hole had been kicked right smack in the mid dle of capitol segregation. It was revealed that the senior class of Nantucket High School had been notified that it will be allowed to make it's annual vacation trip to Washington with hotel accommoda- tions provided for it's two Negro members who previously had been refused reservations at the New Ebbitt Hotel.
 Jerseys Commissioner of Edu- cation, Dr. John H. Bosshart has warned high schools of the state against planning for Washington trips in the school year 1949-5O, un- less the school officials can be as sured that there will be no segre- gation of pupils while they are in Washington.
 In New Jersey, Dr. Bosshart has pointed out, the states new Con- stitution forbids segregation of pupils in any public school activi- ties.
 Jersey civil rights authorities have written all Congressmen and Senators with regard to this issue. Favorable responses have been re- ceived from most of them.
 Dr. Joseph l.. Bustard, Assistant Commissioner of Education, said, in a recent statement:

LONDON MIXES
 ADOPTION

LONDON - American families who believed they would be allowed to adopt Somerset County children of United States Negro soldiers, were in for disappointment as a result of the decision of the Home Office refusing permission for the adoptions.
 The ruling stated that there will be no change in the children's law which prohibits them from going.
 At present, the children are charges of the Somerset County Council and are in a nursing home until they reach the age of 5. The Council plans to place them in British homes.
 Members of Parliament from Somerset County had asked the Home Office to amend British adoption laws so that the children could be adopted by families in the United States not related to them.
