of dispersion. 1t is a lyrical
scene beginning with the mourn
ing of jeremiah and progressing
to the modern mourning of the
concentration camp. Toward the
end of the second scene the deS-
pair brightens when building be-
gins in Eretz Yisroel. The third
scene is modern Israel, a work
scene, happy scene Of song and
dance.
The music is graphic and des-
criptive, fitting the mood of the
Pageant. 1t was composed es-
pecially for this event by Mr..
Robert Strassburg, conductor and
composer, who is on the faculty
Of Brooklyn and Hunter College.

For Equal Education
Move To Abolish
Segregation

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 22.-Gov.
Herman Talmadge declared here
Saturday that Racial Segregation
is at stake in a bitter denuncia-
ton Of a suit recently filed for
the Equalization. of Negro Educa-
ton in the State.
Gov. Talmadge said the suit by
Is Negro parents in Irwin county
was nothing less than an attempt
to "end segregation in our schools"
The suit was entered in federal
court Aug. 8, charging that the
children of the Negroes did not
have facilities equal to those of
fered white children.
1t asked a federal injunction
against discrimination in facili-
ties or teachers under the 14th-
equal rights-amendment to the

would fight "this dastardly effort
with all the strength and resources
we have"
'This litigation" said Talmadge,
sis the opening wedge to break
down segregation in the Southern
States. 1t is move by dis
gruntled agitators from northern
states to destroy all that the far
seeing white and Negro people
have accomplished in progress in
the last few generations"
Then the governor added:
'"These agitators know we can
not furnish either white or Negro
schools with identical facilities
overnight. This does not make
any difference to them.
what they are looking forward
to is moving Negro children into
the nearest, most convenient white
schools"

In the( life of Israel there was
perhaps no institution of more i'm
portance than her School Of The

these schools that the Seers came,

Two Miracles
On Broadway

New York = Two miracles hap
pened on Broadway this week. The
first was the fact that a Broadway
theatre booked an independently
produced all-Negro cast picture,
which opens at the Gotham Thea
ire, and was booked upon its merit
only. The second was the title of
the picture, Miracle In Harlan"
Herald Pictures production.
The sudden popularity of pic
lures with mixed black and white
casts can be attributed to such
films as "Pinkv" "Home of the
Brave" and lost Boundaries"
This, particularly as far as Pinky
is concerned, can be credited to the
fact that it was made by Fox with
it's full Hollywood production ia
cilities and high salaried stars, to
say nothing of the theatres it con-
trolls, which assured the picture
bookings in the country's outstand-
ing first run moton picture palac-
eS.
But with Miracle In Harlem"
opening Saturday, Oct. 22nd, at
the Gotham Theatre, the budget
was measured only on the posi-
bility of it playing Negro Theatres,
numbering slightly over one thou
sand, as compared to eighteen
thousand white theatres
Much of the credit for the sue
cess of the production, made in
New York, with many Of the ex-
terror "shots" made on the streets
of Harlem, is due to Jack Gold
berg, its producer.
AS pioneer in the field of
Negro motion pictures he has
striven constantly to bring up the
level of production to the point
where they were entertaining in
any type theatre. This could have
been accomplished before this time
had he not insisted upon using
strictly an all-Negro cast. This is
not the case with the three pictures
named above.

Miss Whiteside was forcibly
elected from a bus en- route from

she refused to move to the rear
of the bus as requested. The
United States District Court in
Paducah held that the regulation
of the bus company requiring Ne
groes to sit in the rear was a
reasonable regulation and that
Miss Whiteside's refusal to comply
with the regulation was grounds
for her removal from the bus.
NAACP attorneys in appealing
the case maintained that the bus

sonable and could not be enforced

African Youth
Nahhnd In "Pen
Pol" Swindle

WASHINGTON-(ANP) - An
international swindle of gullible
Americans by clever teen-agers of
NIGERIA in West Coast Africa
was broken up recently when
Nigerian police nabbed at least ten
Nieerian youths said to have par
ticipated in the racket.
According to the, post office de-
partment, which had issued about
so fraud orders stonping dispatch
of mail to the Nigerians, the
youths would use fake royal titles
and asked their American pen pals
to send them various sums of
money and clothes in return for
jewelry and other articles from
Nigeria. The American pen pals,
however, never received anything
for what they sent.
Seeks Money And Clothing
One such case was that of a
''Prince Richard" of Lagos, Nj
geria: He wrote to newspapers in
this country seeking pen pals.
After establishing correspondence,
he began asking for money and
clothing in return for whatever
items he could send. Once the
stuff was sent to him. no further
correspondence was carried on. 1t
was discovered that Prince Richard
was 16-year-older with no royal
title. Others in the racket had such
names as "Prince Bill Morrison"
and "Prince ShiIly Afenson."
The youths used an estimated
go titles and names. Post office
officials said they had no definite
knowledge of the value of money
and articles sent but believe it was
considerable.
The racket was uncoveEet when
several newspapers and individuals
complained to the post office. The
Nigerian police advice through the
state Department that the racket
was going on, arrested the youths,
and melted out stern punishment.
In the case of one youth, they gave
him II blows from cane.
