NAACP Promises
Reply To Civil
Rights Congress

NEW YORK-The National AS
sociation for the Advancement OF
Colored People said that it would
reply to a letter from William Pat
terson, executive secretary of the
left wing Civil Rights Congress, in
which Patterson requested h e
NAACP's permission to join with it
in its nation wide civil rights con-
ference to be held in Washington
January 1917.
In his letter Patterson said he
was disturbed to note that his or
ganization had been omitted from
the list of organizations invited to
participate in the conference and
asked "is it possible that it was be-
cause we have been characterized
as "red" by the un-American Ac-
tivities Committee?"
The NAACP declined to say
whether the Civil Rights Congress
would be invited to participate. A
spokesman said no announcement
would be made until the letter of
the Congress had been answered.

A Great MelOdrama To Be Presented
At Carver High School, December9

The famous Broadway play,

by critics as one of the greatest
melodramas of this area, full of

one of the greatest problems in
America, the race situations. "It
offers no particular solutions to the
question it suggests" It's aim is to
let Americans see themselves as

Discusses The Child

The child from one to ten was
the topic of discussion at the Car
yer Parent-Teachers' Association,
which met Tuesday of last week. at
the school.
A very lively and actively par
ticipating audience heard how the
growing child evolves from a help
less infant into socially adjusted
student in an ever changing society.
An excellent panel composed of
Mesdames Drum, Harper and Oby,
brought out pertinent facts about
children, and participants from the
audience related interesting and
helpful experiences in dealing with
various youngsters. John G.. Alnutt
served as chairman of the panel
and acted as discussion leader. The
topic discussed was in keeping with
the theme for the year which is
"The Art of Living"
Following the panel-discussion
the group retired to the school cafe

The NAACP Warns Branches To Watch Housing

Oscar Chapman, who has been

Head New York Firm
Sps<ioI Dispatch TO The Star

NEW MARKET. Va, Nov. as
Edward M. Brown. who since 1919
has developed Endless Caverns
near here as one of Virginia's
greatest tourist attractions, is
leaving Virginia permanently for
New York City. where he will take
over the presidency of the Eastern
Printing Corp.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown will move to
New York early in January. Their
son, Edward M. Brown, jr., will
operate the caverns. He now is
treasurer Of Endless Caverns, Inc.
and is expected to be elected
executive vice president.
The Eastern Printing Corp. spe-
cializes In railroad and steamship

Photo Reproduction Corp, of
which Mr.. Brown also will be
president.
Mr.. Brown and his father, the
late E. T. Brown, came to New
Market from Georgia in 1919 and
purchased Endless Caverns, which
was then series of vast but little
known caves lighted only by
candles and torches.

They spent several hundred

Of land which they purchased to

Brown moved to New York, but in
1882 the family moved back to

is an amalgam of three great esthetic
movements. The land itself-especially the
hills-is dynamic. As far back as 1920
George Lambert and Samuel Scott appre-
ciated the power of Table Say and gladly
paid their homage to it in picture still

ing from modern experimentation.
Perhaps Walter Battiss Is the most
notably interesting artist included in the
exhibition. He belongs to South Africa
exclusively-and South Africa appears to
belong to him. The bond between the man
and his motifs has profound appeal A
like observation applies to Gerard Sekoto,
Bantu who depicts his own community
with fellow-feeling as well as skill.
Obviously it is from workers who are
close to the soil and close to the spirit
of twentieth century South Africa that
the best art OF the immediate future in
that portion of the world may be expected
to come. The display at the National Gal
lery is a promise, an earnest OF achieve
ments ahead. Less of sophisticated, sur
realistic Europe and more, much more OF
the composite creative civilization OF the
Cape and its hinterland are forecast. A
country wealthy In natural resources and
in human intelligence need not borrow In
order to justify its existence in terms OF
cultural accomplishment.

enterprises to protect the present area OF
freedom from further Red aggression.
It is true, of course, that the first year
of the Marshall Plan has doneslittle to
promote multilateral trade, and the second
year may not be much better in that par
ticular. But what the undertaking has
achieved so far-the prevention OF eco
nomic collapse among our European
friends, their substantial recovery, and the
hating of Russias westward advance-has
been of incalculable value to the free
world. Certainly, the investment has been
immensely profitable in that sense, and
that is why Congress has renewed it for
1850. Coupled with the projected Military
Assistance Program and kindred measures,
it still holds out the bright promise that
our side will yet win the final, decisive
victory in the cold war.

Let the General Tell About 1t

The Star is cognizant of the fact that
Major General Harry H. Vaughan, military
aide to the President of the United States,
is one of Mr.. Humans old buddies, close
personal friend of unquestioned loyalty to
the boss, sort of diamond in the rough
whose ready tongue may on occasion un-
fairly belle the untouchable virtue of a
heart of gold.
Even knowing all these things, the f1shy
smell of stories about the generals interest
In seeing that his friends of the Tanforan
race track were not given the run
around" is none the less disturbing. The
general should be given full opportunity
to tell the investigating Senators all about
it. His telephone calls, his personal visit
to the housing expediter, his summoning
of the housing expediter to his White
House Office, the hurry-up grant OF neces-
sary permits for use of scarce building
material-all of these things may be rooted
in nothing more sinister, 1t Is true, than
a deep and beautiful friendship for the
public-spirited builders of Tanforan.
But let the general explain 1t, from the
witness stand. For if his activities have
been correctly described by the housing
expediter and others. he is plainly guilty
of conduct that is Immoral on the
part of one who holds public office. II
it is not immoral, then we are sadly IN
need OF a new set of moral standards tor

South African Art

The exhibition of pictures and sculp-
tured works from South Africa, now cur
rent at the National Gallery, deserves a
sympathetic viewing. 1t represents a
gesture of friendship on the part Of the
government and the people of a country
which is remote and yet bound to America
by many ties OF history. But without re-
gard to the social significance of the dis
play, the specimens shown are worth
seeing. If they are disappointing in any
particular, it is because they are less native,
less nationalistic than might have been
hoped. Four-fifths of the artists have
studied in London, Paris, Munich and
other European cities. 1t might have been
better had they remained in Cape Town
and Pretoria.

For ECA's Second Year

Although it has cut 10 per cent off the
sum requested by the Economic Corpora
ton Administration, the Senate appropria-
ton bill to finance the Marshall Plan
during fiscal 1850 lends itself readily to
reconciliation with the version adopted
earlier by the House. AS a result, the
conference committee now handling the
measure is likely to work out speedy
compromise effective enough to maintain
the European Recovery Program at a
vigorous pace during the second year of
its scheduled four-year life.
For a time, the program seemed in
danger of being reduced and hobbled to
potentially cEippling amendments were
offered. The worst of these were the ones
put forward by Senators Mcclellan and
KEN. What Mr.. Mcclellan wanted to do
was to earmark about third OF the ERP
fund in such way as to force its expendi-
ture on American agricultural products
or else not let it be spent at allan
infiexible arrangement which would have
had the effect of impeding operations and
converting the ECA into kind of dump
ing agency for our farm surplus AS for
Mr.. KEN, he wanted provision to with
hold aid from any participating country
persisting in the naturalization of indus
tries-an idea rightly described as pro-
viding for indirect interference in the in
ternal affairs of friendly nations.
The Senate, however, resoundingly de-
feated all such proposals, realizing that
they were at odds with the aims and pur-
poses of the Marshall Plan, that they would
imperil ERP operations, and that they
would play into the hands of the Russians,
who would seize upon them to strengthen
party-line propaganda about our capital
istic greed" and "imperialistfc designs on
Europe. Moreover, as soon as the amend
ments were beaten down, the Senate
adopted the appropriation bill by the over
whelming vote of So to la fact rejecting
satisfaction with what the Marshall Plan
has accomplished to date, and confidence
that it will continue to yield rich divi-
dends during the second year OF its opera
tons as one of the western worlds major
