The Negro in Science is the
topic of the forthcoming summer

research field.
Because O fthe tremendous i'm

AS far as is known this is the first
time in the history of trade jour-
nalism in the u. S. A., that an
entire issue Of a national publica-
ton will be devoted exclusively to
the evaluation of the contribu-
ton of Negro scientists.
For more than six months, the
editors of Industrial Trends have
worked on this issue, gathering
material, interviewing men and
women of prominence. They won
the cooperation of the National
Defense commission, the Atomic
Energy commission and a large
number of Negro scientists of
prominence.
AS a result, this special issue

Recently the American Associa-

workshop on inter-group relations
on the campus. There were nine

Mrs. Zeiger is a professor at the

three day sessions were Charles

Next on the campus, July %

theme will be "Cooperation Is Es-

Principal speakers at the opening
session will be Boyd Overton,
executive secretary of the Ninth
street YMCA in Cincinnati, and
DeHart Hubbard, of the minority
relations staff of the Federal
Housing administration in Cleve-

That night, Maxim came SO close

and went IN with Arthur Writ
and Jim Morris in what they call
the international Boxing club.
They announced Charles was to
fight Joe Walcott, the siny-browed
distance runner, for the worlds
heavyweight title.
To. this, Maxim objected softly
and his manager not so softly.
But they settled for a shot at Gus
Lesnevich for the American light
heavyweight championship in Gin
cinnat late in May. Maxim, as
everybody knows, took Lesnevich
like General Clark took Rome. Tt
was a unanimous decision.
What happened after that was
that Charles went and took Wal

Democrats Consider
Stepping Up Timetable
On Senate Labor Bill
by the Assoeiatsd Press

Senate Democratic leaders

up the timetable for action on the

The talk started after Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio made 1t
known that he has been pressing
the Democrats for a quick Senate
decision on repeal Of the Taft
Hartley law.
Senator Taft said he is stand
ing by his prediction that Con-
gress will throw the administra-
ton measure overheard and
enact his substitute bill instead.
The substitute would make %
changes in the Taft-Hartley law.
But preserve what Senator Taft
calls its basic principles.

other hand, would junk the Taft

provisions Of the Taft Hartley
law. Now the House Democratic
leaders are at work on new COM
